Till Death Do Us Part

---

His mysterious eyes danced across the smooth curvatures of her supple skin, absorbing the aura of her physical decadence while mystified by her sudden display of sensuality. Her lips were pursed; glistening under the influence of dim candlelight as her tongue skillfully grazed the edges of her bottom lip, letting the excruciating moments of idleness pass.

"I wouldn't touch that, mate," said a small voice, skeptically.

"Why not?" Jack wrinkled his nose at the intrusion.

"Last time I checked he was, in fact, dead, gentleman," Jack affirmed knowingly, lifting his arms up to illustrate his point.

"She'll always love him, forever waiting - till death do her part."

"Now, can you handle that, mate?"
