Fade & Fluff

By Alex Carreras

Jerrod Zaman, vampire and hairdresser extraordinaire, settled in Sangre, Florida to forget about his past, but Kairon who owns the barbershop across from Jerrod’s salon refuses to let him.

Kairon Brody still loves his ex and would love to rekindle their on-again-off-again relationship, which is a problem since his ex does not feel the same way. Kairon wants to convince Jerrod that they should get back together before possibly losing his eternal life at the hands of Alderman, a vindictive vampire who, with Jerrod’s help, Kairon thought he’d killed months earlier.

Sounds complicated? It is. But between breaking and entering, dodging vampires with murder on the mind, and a family member doubling as a flaming shish kabob, Jerrod and Kairon manage to see through a murky past to a bright future together . . . maybe.

CHAPTER ONE

Jerrod Zaman watched from the window of Everlasting salon as the owner of Killer Kuts, the barbershop across the street, headed for the door.

Kairon Brody still looked as sexy as the first night Jerrod had laid eyes on him centuries ago. Clothing and hairstyles had changed since then, but the memorable goods underneath the snug fit of black denim still made Jerrod’s breath hitch and his mouth water . . . unfortunately. Kairon’s manliness was hard to deny, but so far, Jerrod had resisted rekindling their relationship since moving to Sangre, and he intended on keeping it that way. Through a set jaw, Jerrod inhaled as Kairon opened the door, the scent of sandalwood and man awakening his senses.

Hey. Kairon’s easy cadence and sly smile proved to be a challenge.

Why are you here? Jerrod didn’t feel like being welcoming. He saved that for the salon clients who would start arriving within the hour.

Is that any way to greet an old friend? Kairon stopped and placed his hands on his hips, but that smile remained in place. I thought we were getting along these days?

You were never good at thinking.

Someone got out of the wrong side of the coffin tonight. You not been getting any lately?

Jerrod wanted to kill him and kiss him all at the same time. You were always rough around the edges.

I thought you liked that about me, Kairon returned. You used to.

Shit.

I’m not in the mood for this.

For what?

Why are you here? Jerrod asked again, ready to kick Kairon out the door and back across the street. Or is this little visit solely designed to agitate me?

Is it working?

You have five seconds to state your business, after that I won’t be responsible for my actions. Understand?

Kairon removed a folded newspaper from the back of his jeans waistband and handed it to Jerrod. This was on the front page of the Sangre Sentinel.

Jerrod unfolded it, and the headlines made his stomach queasy. Councilman Alderman Returns, he read aloud. Jerrod stared at a black and white picture of Alderman smiling from ear to ear standing on the steps of Sangre City Hall. Even in newsprint, the vampire oozed dishonesty. I knew it was too good to be true.

I figured it was only a matter of time, Kairon said, looking at the newspaper. He must’ve been more messed up than I thought. Took him time to lick his wounds.

I was beginning to think we got rid of him. Jerrod refolded the newspaper and handed it back to Kairon. You’d think that after as long as I’ve been alive, I’d realize that despicable beings like Alderman never go away. He’s like gum stuck to the bottom of your shoe.

Don’t be discouraged. His return gives us another chance to get rid of him once and for all.

It won’t be easy. Jerrod walked around the salon’s reception desk and took a seat. Why didn’t he come straight to us . . . for us? The element of surprise would’ve worked in his favor.

I thought of that too.

And?

Kairon shrugged broad, muscular shoulders. I came up with nothing feasible. Maybe he likes the limelight more than kicking our asses? Kairon lifted the newspaper in his hand. The ugly sucker likes attention.

He does that, but I highly doubt all is forgiven. When he’s ready to pounce, he’ll make his move. That you can bet on.

Then we have to be ready when he does.

We? Jerrod questioned.

I’m involved in this too, Kairon returned. So are my guys. Remember it was Niko that sent Alderman running.

And Asher, Jerrod corrected, continuing, "but you’re right, Alderman will seek his revenge on every one of us. We were all at
