He’d put his jeans on by now, his hand on his forehead. Whispering under his breath, he began to pace. “I can’t do this.” His hand dropped, hitting his leg.

I admired his bare torso as his wings retreated, so powerful and yet so forbidden to me. Max refused me the luxury of having him. “Why?” I demanded.

He stopped and turned to me quickly. “You didn’t feel that?” he gasped.

I had felt it, but it was bliss. What did he mean? “No, I—”

“You don’t understand, Jane.” He cut me off, voice sharp. “I literally can’t do this.” His face was frantic, his firm hand jabbing the air. “But, God… you don’t know how much I want to.”

“Then… then why stop yourself? I don’t understand.”

A forced breath of air passed his lips. He looked skyward, still pacing. “You’re a drug to me—your emotions, your life. I want it so bad.” He clenched his fists before him. “So bad, but I’ll lose myself in you. I can’t let it happen.”

“Lose yourself?”

He shook his head as though at himself. “You’ve felt me stealing your emotion.”

I nodded. “Yes, but it’s not bad. I can handle it. I figured that was normal.” I thought about the way I felt when he’d stolen my sadness in Winter Wood—weak and useless. But tonight, it had felt much different.

“Jane, listen to yourself. You shouldn’t be saying those things. Those emotions are your own, not mine. If I go too far with them, it can kill you, which means…” His voice trailed.

“What?” My voice was shrill.

“Which means that I’d kill you. If I get too close like this, I could suck that life right out of you. You’d die, and I’d be the one left living your life and your feelings.” He leaned his forehead against the wall.

“Why didn’t you tell me this before?”
