Fierce Justice

Page 26

by Piper J. Drake


  Raul looked sharply at her face. Her lips were cracked, they were so dry. “How long have you been lying here?”

  He kneeled immediately and handed over a spare water bottle. Now that he wasn’t embarrassed out of his mind about his dog poking a strange girl’s butt with a cold nose, he took a more serious look at Mali Siri. Her golden bronze skin had a red undertone to it. She’d been in the sun long enough to burn. “Sip that slow.”

  She did as he advised, her movement sluggish and her hands trembling. She spilled some water down her chin as she sipped.

  Muttering a curse under his breath, he scanned the area to confirm no potential threats were nearby and then he draped her hoodie around her shoulders. “Take your time. You’re safe now.”
