They came in from the memorial, Chris hugging the urn tightly to his chest, the tears on his face a contrast to the smile he wore. Mike parked the truck next to his compact and unlocked the house.
"Let's make William comfortable, shall we?" Mike opened the study door and moved Danny's box about a foot to the left. Chris kissed the lid of William's urn and set it on the mantle next to Danny.
"I love you, Master. I miss you," he said. "But I'll be all right."
Mike came up behind him and wrapped his arms around Chris's waist. "We'll be all right," he said and kissed Chris's neck. He opened one hand and showed Chris a key. "I'll replace the collar with my own in due time, if that is what we both want." He unlocked the silver collar Chris had worn for five years.
Chris held it, staring. His neck felt very bare. After a moment, he reached up and placed it around the base of the urn.
"Together, sir." Chris turned into his master's arms and kissed him.

Don't miss The Curse of the Pharaoh's Manicurists,
available at AmberAllure.com!
In the roaring '20s, Charlie Doyle, the ink still wet on his Dartmouth journalism degree, answers an ad for a job as secretary to Edward Kilsby, Lord Withycombe and renowned flying ace of the Great War. The ad leads him to expect excitement, but Charlie never expects quite so much.
When Edward is hired to find missing archaeologist Sir Alexander Spencer, Charlie is about to go for the ride of his life. A whirlwind tour of London, the Paris nightlife, a kidnapping by Edward's jilted fiancée and rival, Cairo, the Valley of the Kings, even the Orient Express all pale compared to what awaits Charlie and Edward in the tomb of Ni-ankh-khnum and Khnum-ho-tep, Overseers of the Manicurists in the Palace of the King.
But not mummies nor jilted lovers, not malaria nor Anubis himself can stop their quest...or their growing love for each other...
