Evie?” “I want this, Jack! Kiss me.” He did, briefly…
““Evie?” “I want this, Jack! Kiss me.” He did, briefly muting the Reaper, rekindling my excitement. But Death was yelling. —NEVER, CREATURE!— This place was perfect, a moment in time; it should be just me and Jack. Now Death was ruining it. “It’s no use. He doesn’t want us to do this. And I don’t understand why.” “Look at me, Evie. Stay with me.” I gazed up at Jack, peering into his eyes. They were stormy gray, filled with desire, yearning. Even vulnerability. “He doan get a goddamned say, now, does he?” When Jack held my gaze, Death was quieted, the heavy weight of his presence ebbing. —Sievā, do not do this. . . .— See-whatta? Then he faded. Faded to nothing. “His voice is quiet. This is working!” “Then I’m goan to be looking into your eyes when I take you. You hear me?” I nodded, wanting this more than I’d ever imagined I could. He traced his hand between us, lower, lower, dipping his fingers. “So hot,” he groaned. “So perfect. You want this too.” It wasn’t a question.””
