"Where did you learn to fire a handgun?" Anita asked, sprawled on the couch in Jean-Claude's office.
Asher blinked. Should he tell her how he first picked up a gun after he heard Jean-Claude had taken a human servant? Of the many cold months in France, firing repeatedly into the practice target, fantasizing of killing Jean-Claude's human servant, making him hurt as much as Asher hurt when Julianna died, when Jean-Claude's failure murdered her?
Asher looked at Anita, warm and alive and innocently curious. He forced a smile. "Modern handguns are like revolvers, cherie. I learned long ago," he lied.

Title: Cutting Smile
Word Count: 100
Characters: Nathaniel
Challenge: #55 - Weapon of Choice
Note: Occurs at some point around Incubus Dreams. No spoilers.
~~*~~
Nathaniel smiled at the women waiting for him outside Guilty Pleasures. The smile held the right mix of shyness and sex appeal and confidence. It was his "take me home and keep me safe" smile.
Fumbling, one woman asked for his autograph, and he added puzzled surprise and delight to the smile, bending a little closer to her, making it much more personal. Nathaniel knew she'd be back soon, with more money to hand to him as he undressed.
For the longest time, Nathaniel's looks were the only weapon he had. He still wielded them like a cutting blade.
