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.”
