Felix stepped forward with a frown, glancing down at the table.
Only to see his own eyes gazing back at him.
His face went bone-white. In one sickening rush, Felix remembered those photos, viscerally and consumingly, as if he were back there in front of the camera. He had grown too quickly in his thirteenth year to be of interest to many of the club's "members," but his exotic appearance and other particular talents made him too much of an asset to Lorenzo to dispose of him. Young though he was, his rapidly-attained height and sudden burst of physical maturity led Lorenzo to graduate him to another branch of the business. These had been his publicity photos. His coming-out party. His debut.
Felix's chin rose, his jaw twitching as he gritted his teeth. There was no denying the photographic evidence. The look he turned to Shannon was brittle and cold, sickness and fury warring for dominance behind his eyes. "Anything else?" he asked, his words low and sharp.
