The Reaper moved to stand beside the woman. Up close, her eyes shimmered with tears she was either too proud or too hurt to shed. She had long, dark hair that fell in a silky cloud to just below her shoulder blades. He touched it, wishing for the first time that he had the same senses as humans. Wishing he could feel the glossy strands.
She caught her breath and looked right at him once more. Her pulse beat a hard and erratic tempo at the base of her throat. Her eyes widened, the kaleidoscope of blues and greens mixing and changing. Her skin looked like pearl, her lips so soft he wanted to touch those, too.
The machines beeped frantically, drawing her back into the unfolding drama. The doctors began administering emergency measures, and two more nurses rushed in to assist. Maggie watched it all with an impassive expression, but he saw the panic she couldn’t hide. He felt the bitter desperation, the guilt-ridden relief that it would soon be over.
It was time, but suddenly the Reaper wasn’t ready to see the interlude end. One of the nurses pulled the blanket off the man, unveiling his inert, muscular body and pulling down the gown so it bunched at his waist. Even in death, he appeared strong, a big man with broad shoulders and a solid chest. Someone pushed a cart in the room, and Maggie shifted to the side to let them by.
She was almost touching him now.
Almost.
The temptation to bridge that gap became a seed, a sprout, then a vine that wrapped around him and choked out any thought to resist. In the moment of reaping, when he and the reaped would be one, he might touch her. He might feel her.
The Reaper shrouded himself in death and moved over Samuel Sloan, seeping beneath his skin to the soul that had brought this woman such complex pain. The man’s brain still controlled his failing organs, still commanded his slowly beating heart and forced his weakened lungs to inflate, but his consciousness, that which made him the human, Sam Sloan, had long since ceased. The Reaper gathered up his soul and held tightly, emerging with just one goal.
Touch the woman.
He brushed his elusive shape against her like a dawn mist settling before a rising sun. He knew the moment—the very instant—she felt him. A fine tremble went through her body. Her lush lips parted, her breath caught.
She was warm, so very warm. So intricately alive. Flesh and blood, bone and hollow. Sensations enhanced by the eyes of the human’s memory, until she became a bright, shining thing that blinded him with beauty.
The desire to see more, to feel more, became a burning need. Her soul was so lovely, so ethereal, so alive that it glittered, diamond bright—just there.
The Reaper reached. The Reaper touched. Deep inside him, he felt the human he’d come for awake and protest.
Somewhere in the room a doctor said, “Clear,” and pressed paddles to the human’s chest. Warning flashed red in the Reaper’s mind a split second before searing pain sliced through the human, impaling them both.
The body on the bed jerked violently. The Reaper recoiled, and Maggie jumped back just as the doctor said, “Clear,” once more. A second volt went through the human, through the Reaper, down to a place that shouldn’t exist, galvanizing them both.
The Reaper knew the smell of fear in humans, but he’d never known it in himself until that moment when he felt the man’s soul slipping backwards, felt the claws of it sunk deep inside him, thorns in the vine he himself had planted.
One last time, the doctor said, “Clear,” and the die was cast, the fate was written.
The Reaper and Sam Sloan slammed back into the vessel from which they came.
