Excerpt:
Asher Riots unlocked the door to Everlasting,
the salon he had worked at since arriving in the Sunshine State.
Normally the blazing sun wasn’t a
vampire’s best friend, but after spending a hundred plus years in the northern
United States, it was time for balmy breezes to warm his chilled skin, and
soft, sandy beaches to tread on when the moon was full and high in the night
sky, no matter what the season.
Stepping through the threshold, he inhaled
the distinctive scents of the salon that made his senses tingle with
excitement. The familiar smells of the hairsprays, gels, and lotions made him
thankful that he had chosen this profession before he became what he was today,
a member of the undead. His parents had coiffed the elite of Paris society, and
their talents and attention to detail had been passed on to their son who
possessed the same talents it took to excel in the beauty industry.
But times and styles had changed, leaving
Asher longing for the days of platinum powdered wigs worn by courtesans,
instead of bold, garish colors embraced by America’s youth. Releasing a sigh,
he flipped on the neon Open sign that hung in the window. Looking out onto the
street, he noticed that the barbershop across the way was still closed.
Although attractive, the barbers were bad news, and they attracted similar
clientele that made Asher’s skin crawl, but excited his lust for rough trade.
He never admitted this to his boss, Jerrod, but Tory, his co-worker, suspected
as much, judging by the smirk on his glossed lips whenever he caught Asher
gazing at the comings and goings of the barbershop during the slow periods at
the salon. Tory liked to play dumb, but he was anything but. Asher suspected
that Tory preferred it that way because less would be expected of him. He was
only fooling himself. Jerrod would never have hired the twink with a penchant
for all things shiny, if he believed that was true. Jerrod only took on
vampires who showed potential. And if that potential wasn’t realized, they’d be
asked to leave. Many had passed through the doors of Everlasting, but only
Asher had withstood the test of time.
“They’re in there.” Jerrod strutted
through the door on a gust of wind, his deep baritone reverberating in Asher’s
chest. “Can’t you smell them?”
“I can smell something, all right,” Asher
mumbled under his breath before turning to see the man who had saved him from
his own self-loathing when he arrived in Sangre, Florida, years ago. “And it
smells like someone is wearing too much cologne.” Asher eyed his friend’s
black-from-head-to-toe outfit. It was very hairdresser. And very vampire.
“Funny,” Jerrod grumbled, shooting a look
at Asher. “I can sense something’s up but I can’t figure out what, exactly.
Have you heard any tongues wagging in the street?”
“Nope,” Asher returned. “But I don’t
usually listen to gossip. Ask Tory. He’d know if there is anything to
know.”
Jerrod chuckled. “He’s late,” he said
without looking at the clock on the wall. “What are we going to do about that
guy?”
Just
then, the man in question swished through the door, his strut better than any
super model’s. “Are you two talking about me again?” Tory made it to the middle
of the salon and twirled. “What do you think? It was a gift from an admirer.”
