Everyone in the audience watched him. They watched in awe as he grasped the attention of every man and woman in the room. Each syllable that fell from his luscious lips was drenched in passion that drew eyes from every direction.

He held the award in his large hands, his fingers grasping the edge of the glass award. Fingers that had been inside me only twenty minutes ago.

No one was aware of how dangerous Amory Reid really was. But I knew. I knew the truth. That behind every smirk, behind every laugh, there lurked a sinister darkness that licked fear up my spine.
Amory Reid was undoubtedly the most lethal man on the planet.
