She pulled back the covers and tucked him under, curling up against him. Helios hopped up as well, kneading busily over Isaac’s foot and purring. Gently she pulled his head against her breast and ran her fingers through his curls. “Rest, chere, relax. I’m here. I won’t leave you.”
Curling up into a small ball and splaying out his fingers against her bare hips, his eyes fluttered shut and he sniffed, nodding absently as she held him close, the sensation of fingers carding through his hair relaxing him further. “Never…I couldn’t…I couldn’t survive without you…” he croaked out and pressed a kiss to her chin.
“Sleep, darling,” Summer whispered. “Sleep.” Once he fell asleep soundly, she kissed him on the forehead and extricated herself from his hold. Moving as quietly as she could, she found his cell phone and sent a quick text to Derek, letting him know where Isaac was. It was only polite. When she climbed back into bed, after pulling on some clothes to sleep in, she leaned her head on his, heart aching for him. “I love you.”
