Something good and hot and sexy, Sarai had said it would be. Then something bad.
    â€œI am not having sex with Kasabian.” But Kye wanted to. Every cell in her body wanted to.
    â€œYou sound like President Clinton, and we know what happened there.”
    Kye rolled her eyes, but she was trying really hard not to think about Kasabian’s mouth on hers, his hands…
    Sarai obviously took her silence as confirmation. “Kye, that’s how the bad part starts!”
    â€œYou’ll be happy to know that we are not romantically involved. In fact, we’ve agreed that it would be a bad idea.”
    â€œBut? I sense a ‘but’ in there somewhere.”
    â€œWe’re bonded.”
    â€œWhaaaa?”
    It felt good to share this with someone. “He and I did magick to help him retrieve lost memories, very important ones. We ended up being bonded, and, yes, I’ve lost my abilities. For now. I’m so angry I could tear his hair out.”
    The image that popped into her mind, though, had nothing to do with fury and everything to do with her hands gripping his hair as he thrust into her. Kye blinked the image away.
    â€œWouldn’t it be best to stay away from him?” Sarai asked.
    â€œOh, believe me, I am staying completely away from that man.” The memory of his big bed popped into her mind.
    Sarai was shaking her head, a grim expression on her face. “You won’t. You’re going to get sucked in so deep, you won’t know where you end and he begins.” She reached out and grabbed Kye’s hand. “And you’re going to get ripped to shreds.”
    â€œUh…literally?”
    â€œNo, your soul. Your heart.” Sarai sank into her thoughts. “What I get are words, ideas about what’s to come. And the feelings to go with them. All I know is that if you stay with him, you’re going to suffer terribly. I’ll keep working on getting more.”
    â€œAnd I’m going to work on breaking our bond. It’s the last thing I need.”
    Sarai was studying her with narrowed eyes. “But there’s a part of you that likes it.”
    â€œNo way. It’s unnerving. Annoying. Disturbing.” Did it count as a lie if she was telling it to herself, too?
    Twenty minutes later, when Kye was back in her office going through her patient files, she got the first hint of the pain to come. Real pain, along with a spear of panic. Kasabian. She got to her feet and grabbed her phone from the credenza. But she didn’t have his number. If he were involved in some kind of altercation, he couldn’t answer anyway.
    Suddenly the breath left her lungs, and she stumbled to her knees. Gasping, she dialed the number all Crescents had on hand—the number for the Guard. She could barely ask for Hayden.
    â€œI’m sorry, he’s not here right now. May I leave him a message?”
    â€œNo. Emergency.”
    â€œWe can send someone else—”
    â€œNeed Hayden,” she managed to utter. “Please, get me in touch with him.”
    â€œGive me your name and number, ma’am, and I’ll do my best.”
    She’d no sooner given the information when excruciating pain dropped her completely to the floor. Her legs were jelly, her back on fire. What the hell was happening to Kasabian? She wasn’t sure where his fear stopped and hers began.
    Her phone rang a minute later, and she could barely grasp it. She didn’t recognize the number, assumed it was Hayden, and answered with a gasp.
    â€œKye? What’s going on?”
    â€œKasabian…in trouble. Pain.” She sucked in a deep breath. “Bad.”
    â€œI’ll Leap to him and try to take him to his place. Can you meet us there?”
    She clutched the chair to help her to her feet. “I’m on my way.”
    Â Â 
    Hayden Invoked his angelic essence, enduring the pain of his wings tearing through his flesh. Since he and Kasabian
