Chapter Eight

Val hung up the phone slowly and dropped it onto the blue cotton

sheet beside him. Guilt seeped into him. He’d lied to Adrian. Not just

about the hair appointment. That had been a deliberate act on his part.

When he’d returned from his lunch date with Adrian after a long walk

in the park across the street, during which his unreasonable jealousy

continued to torture him, he’d discovered that Adrian had been busy

that afternoon.

“What the fuck?” Val had pointed at an entry in the appointment

book for Saturday. “What is this, Ted?”

“Your professor? He called a few minutes ago and made an ap-

pointment for a personal wax job. Delia was free, so she said she’d

take it.”

“He did not. Is this some kind of joke? No way does Adrian Grey

wax his chest. I just saw him loosened up at lunch today, and I defi-

nitely saw hair peeking out of that shirt. Not funny, kid.”

Ted had snickered, tongue stud clicking against teeth in an annoy-

ing not-rhythm. “Well, you’re right there. He doesn’t wax his chest.

Least, that’s not the personal area he asked about,” Ted had chortled.

“No? Then what exactly does he want Delia to wax?” The sudden

rush of knowledge, the very idea that Adrian could be so...modern...

adventurous? stunned him. The words to describe the concept eluded

him. It couldn’t be. That was so not Adrian. It was ridiculous to even

contemplate. “Don’t answer that!” The hell Delia would give Adrian

a Brazilian. No way anyone else got to wax Adrian. “I’ll do it myself.

Reschedule Mrs. DeWitt, will you?”

Ted snickered again. “Sure thing, boss. Want me to block out a

few hours for you?”

Glaring at the younger man, Val stomped to his station and flicked

out his cape. He waved a young man into his seat and scowled at Ted.

“No. Just do as you’re told.”

He’d smiled in wicked delight half an hour later as he realized

he’d just been handed the perfect opportunity to get his hands on the

goods without paying a penalty. He’d have to be very careful Friday

not to let slip that he knew Adrian had scheduled an appointment for

Saturday. With any luck, he could have the whole process started be-

fore Adrian even realized that Val had replaced Delia. That was when

he’d realized that a change in the routine was called for. He’d decided

to call Adrian and reschedule the haircut. Skipping a cut wasn’t go-

ing to get Adrian fired, and breaking up the structure Adrian lived by

felt kind of good, in a way. Like he was getting some of his own back,

restoring his position of power in their relationship. Maybe he should

stop reserving that Friday morning block of time for Adrian and let

him take his chances getting an appointment like everyone else.

Typically, though, the man he knew better than himself hadn’t re-

acted to the phone call the way he expected. No protests about the dis-

rupted schedule, no disappointment that they presumably wouldn’t

be meeting. That kind of bothered him. He looked forward to cutting

Adrian’s hair. Wasn’t it the same for Adrian? Would he just go some-

where else to get his hair cut? He reached for the phone, tempted to

call and take back his words.
