It would be like taking a bulky pill—just swallow quickly.
Then it would be over.
Elizabeth did not reply in words to Laban, but turned, taking the last few strides between her and the son. The distance had obscured Azazel’s disfigurement and now she looked down upon him, seeing everything. In the daylight, each crackle of a carcass was intensified, the distorted face illuminated. It breathed; mouth jarred open, as if it were a human snoring.
Quickly.
She slipped down to her knees, one raised higher than the other, tucking into the hollow between chest and arm. There was once a story told to her about a prince awakening a beautiful princess with an enchanted kiss. Though that fantasy had been replaced by the gnarled, darkened witchcraft of Laban, it should still work.
Eyes pierced together, Elizabeth shuddered forward, feeling the strength of bone against her aching lips.
There was no way to deepen the kiss, no fleshy tongue to caress as Laban had done with her.
Hopefully this would be enough, and the prince would awaken.
Then it would be over.
