A Kiss of Life (Bk2)

Chapter 14

William dropped his head to grasp it between his two hands. "I had not considered the effects of your mortality. But you are likely right. The cloak will destroy you if you choose to relinquish it."

He raised his head then to look up at me and he was sorry. That I could clearly see. But I didn't want his sorrow. I wanted his advise and more importantly ... his support.

"You should eat that," I said gesturing to the feast of food he'd prepared for himself. I almost smiled when I daw him promptly wolf it down. I could tell he was still in the throes of experiencing his freedom to the max. Fullfilling his every bodily desire held from him for an eternity.

"I have a solution to Michael reverting back into his original form and ensure my survival over that act," I said simply garnering both Williams and Michael's undivided attention.

I took another breath. My idea might well work but the repercussions... might not be entirely favourable.

"What... what is it?" William whispered softly leaning forward intently.
