Emma roused, sitting in a chair with something strapped against her lap, holding her in place. Her eyes flew open in alarm as she flinched, her hands gripping chair arms.

“It’s okay. You’re safe.” Raphael patted her hand.

Her breath came in short pants as she surveyed her surroundings. They were in a small luxury jet with only two rows of seats and a bench seat along a side wall. She was strapped into a seat, with Raphael in the seat across the aisle. The other seats were empty.

She turned her face to him, her heart thumping wildly against her ribcage. “What happened? How did we get here?”

“You created a raging forest fire, much like the one in Minnesota. Unfortunately, it didn’t kill Alex, only deterred him long enough for us to get away.” Raphael’s finger lightly stroked the back of her hand. “You used too much energy and passed out. One of the first things you need to learn is how to control your energy flow. It’s amazing you haven’t killed yourself by now.”

Her head ached and her mouth was dry, as though she had a really bad hangover. She needed Will’s touch. He always helped her through this part, after she’d done too much.

Will.

The pain hit her full force, sucking her breath as she gasped. “Will…” The tears gushed without permission and she lowered her face into her hands, wailing.

Raphael unbuckled her seatbelt and pulled her from her seat. She collapsed into him, her legs giving out.

Will. Her pain hemorrhaged with her violent sobs.

“I know, love. I know.” He held her to his chest, stroking the back of her head. His languid warmth seeped into her, soothing the pain.

“No!” She jerked back, tripping on the frame of the seat behind her. She refused to betray Will, especially now.

Raphael reached out to steady her, but she swung out of his reach.

“Don’t touch me!”

“Emma—”

“NO!” she screamed, taking another step back, her loose nightgown twisting around her legs. Frantic, she swung her head, searching for a way to escape. She spotted a door in front of the first row.

Alarm filled Raphael’s eyes. “Emma, I know you’re upset and you see me as your enemy right now, but we’re thirty-five thousand feet in the air.”

She didn’t care. She’d rather plummet to her death than succumb to Raphael’s pull again. Her muscles tensed, prepared to leap for the door.

“Emma, don’t do anything—”

She bolted, barely getting past him before his fingers dug into her arm. He pulled her against his chest, a fire in his eyes. “I know you’ll hate me for this when you wake up, but hopefully you’ll thank me for it later.”

His lips lowered to hers and he kissed her with his pent-up frustration. To her agony, she answered his call, giving herself to him. The familiar fuzziness filled her head and she sagged before his arm tightened around her back, holding her to his chest.

He continued to kiss her until she was aware of nothing but him. Then he laid her down on a seat, tucking a blanket around her and smoothing her hair.
