“Are you going into the sideline of pimping out pretty boys?” The photograph was in black and white, but that did nothing to disguise his astonishing good looks.

“Of course not.” Then he added, “He’s not a boy.”

“No, you’re correct.” His age was listed as twenty-six. He was six feet tall, weighed thirteen stone eight, and hair and eyes were both given as brown.
