Heaven Can't Wait (8 page)

“It’ll do,” Peter said, giving nothing away.

“So that guy, Chuck, won’t kill himself?”

Peter gave him a funny look.

“But I thought….” Brutus’s brow cleared. “Never mind. Well, do we need the bone-crunching and the wailers again today, or can I let them off?”

A scheduling board appeared. Peter examined it quickly. “Sorry, no. We have several more limbo candidates due to arrive in five minutes.”

“All right. Wailers still on. Got it. Hey, I’ve been meaning to ask…. Hell isn’t real, so what happens to these guys if they fail?”

Peter straightened his cuffs. “Oh, another thousand years or so of
slow
evolution. I was hired to speed the process up, and that’s precisely what I intend to do.”

“Oh.”

“
P
ETER
?” A
thundering voice echoed through the cosmos.

Brutus paled. “Uh…. I-i-is that…?”

“Gotta run,” said Peter.

Snap.

ASTON
has been at various times and under different names a minister’s daughter, a computer programmer, a game designer, the author of paranormal mysteries, a fanfiction writer, an organic farmer, and a profound sleeper. She is now happily embarking on yet another incarnation, this time as an m/m romance author.

As an avid reader of such, she is tickled pink when an author manages to combine literary merit, vast stores of humor, melting hotness, and eye-dabbing sweetness into one story. She promises to strive to achieve most of that most of the time. She currently lives on a farm in Pennsylvania with her husband, three bulldogs, three cows, and six chickens. All of them (except for the husband) are female, hence explaining the naked men that have taken up residence in her latest fiction writing.
