movements slowing down. Closing them tight again, she focused her mind. Syn didn’t have much time left. ‘Heroine of my own story’ she chanted. Power hummed through her hand as colors once again assaulted her. Quickly she sorted through them and grabbed the white thread. Pulling it to her eyes, she opened them and shot two beams of white light cutting into the two shadows attacking Syn. They fell on the ground before they withered away.
    Her body crumpled.

    “You can’t pretend to be asleep forever.”
    Noise pounded inside her brain disturbing her peace and quiet. She turned her head slightly away from it. With a sigh, she stole deeper into her world.
    “Really is the thought of kissing me again that bad?”
    Heat invaded her world as thoughts of hot kisses called to her. Once again, she shook it off and stole deeper into her world. Warmth flew over her cheek bringing a smile to her lips before she escaped it. Someone shook her gently. Let me sleep she tried to say, unable to move her lips. She didn’t want to wake up. The thought scared her enough to try and open her eyes. She was lost. A maze of options stood before her, taunting her with her inability to figure it out. She would wander it forever.
    Sleep called her like a lover causing her to turn away from any chance of rescue.
    “Come back to me, sleeping beauty.”
    Lips, firm and hot touched hers, blinding her with desire. “Follow me,” they whispered to her seductively against her ear.
    Need swamped her hot and silky as it curled in her belly. She walked towards the sound of that voice and the feel of those lips until hot light burned behind her eyelids, and still she walked. A barrier blocked her, making her press against it. She shoved kicking and pounding when it wouldn’t give. It gave way to her fist and she stumbled through it.
    Alexa took a deep breath and her body jerked awake.
    “Syn,” she choked out, taking deep breathes in, “what happened?”
    “It’s relatively easy to get into the spirit world, not so easy to get out. The world liked you and wanted to keep you.”
    “You led me out.”
    “Always.”
    “We won?”
    “You did it.”
    “What did I do?”
    “Mutufa sent two of his lower body guards. I figured out quickly that he was testing you. I could have defeated them but this was a chance for you to exercise the gift you have been given. If I defeated the guards, he would simply send more, but if you defeated them he would fall back not expecting that. At the time, defeating them quickly and assuring the safety of the plane was our best course of action.”
    She nodded thinking everything through. Somethings still didn’t make sense like how she was able to do any of that. To some degree, it felt like her power, for lack of a better word, was telling her or showing her how to use it.
    “Don’t you owe me a kiss?” She turned her mind to things she could focus on.
    “I’m pretty sure it’s you who owes me a kiss, sleeping beauty.” He rolled over and pulled her into his arms.
    His fingers stroked her cheek. “So beautiful.”
    His head lowered capturing her lips in a gentle kiss. He nipped at her lower lip until she opened, allowing him in.
    “Syn,” she murmured against his lips before her tongue dueled with his rubbing against it. She took in his taste feeling her body soften around him.
    She wrapped her arms around him. Her nipples hardened as her heart raced in her chest. She nipped at his tongue encouraging him to devour her. He pulled back a little and gave her a deep lingering kiss. The promise of what was to come was blatantly placed against her lips. Stopping, the regret on his face was plain to see.
    “We need to check on George and make sure this aircraft is fine.”
    She nodded forcing herself to rise and slip on her shoes that were still standing next to his. They walked out the cabin to find that anything not anchored down and been tossed from side to side.
    “Nothing a little
