CHAPTER FOUR

Matt finished a masterpiece—ombré highlights that glistened on the sleek hair of his thirty-three-year-old client. She looked amazing, and given her gratitude, she knew it was thanks to his magic.

After tipping him outrageously, she hugged him tightly and went off to set her follow-up appointment.

Matt turned to head back to his station and tripped over his own feet at the sight of Dare and Trace casually striding through his double front doors. The sensual menace of the men almost caused his heart to pop out of his chest.

Seven stylists worked for Matt. Each of them had a client in his or her chair. Two women worked the desk. A young man collected towels. A manicurist worked on an older woman, and a pedicurist had just walked a regular out. Five patrons filled the plush seats of the waiting room.

They all gaped in fascinated awe. And why not? Dare and Trace packed a visceral punch of massive proportions.

Dare led the way, looking around with casual insouciance. When he pulled off his dark sunglasses, Matt heard a collective inhalation.

Trace wore that same stony look he always had in Matt’s presence, but he moved through the elite and stylish salon as if he owned it.

They either didn’t notice, or more likely didn’t care, that the gaze of every occupant had locked on them the second they appeared. No one moved.

Dare walked right up to Matt. “Nice place.”

An invisible fist squeezed his windpipe, but Matt managed to strangle out, “Thanks.”

Trace flattened him with a look. “Got a private room somewhere so we can talk?”

“I…ah…”

The two receptionists suddenly appeared, all atwitter, doling out rapid-fire questions to gain attention.

“Can I get you something to drink?”

“May I see you to a seat?”

“We have cola or lemon water or coffee.”

“If you want to leave me your name, I can—”

Belatedly, Matt took control. “They’re here to see me.” He shooed the disappointed women away, then gestured toward his office at the back of the building. “This way.”

Dare bared his teeth in a look that might have been a smile, but Matt just wasn’t sure. “We’ll be right behind you.”

Oh, great. He got one foot in front of the other, but it was like trying to walk calmly ahead of a stalking lion. All around him he felt the avid stares, the heated curiosity of workers and patrons.

Damn it. He put his head up and forced more confidence into his gait. When he reached the office, he pushed the door open and stepped aside.

Eyeing the cream-colored walls, the dark hardwood floor, the sleek furniture, Dare went in first. “You have good taste.”

Trace followed, looked around, and nodded. “High end. I like it.”

Their approval shouldn’t matter, but Matt felt his ears going hot anyway. “Thank you.” A new worry suddenly hit him, and he closed the door. “Is Chris…?”

“He’s fine.”

“Oh.” So then what did they want? “Good.” He escaped to the other side of his desk and took his seat. “Please, make yourselves comfortable.”

Unfortunately, they got comfortable by looming over him.
