protection.  His mother, Elena Devonshire, was a bit of nobility, coming from a royal family in Portugal and arriving in America as the daughter of the Portuguese Ambassador.  Wilfred attended private schools and, once his sister became famous, David had managed to stock Wilfred’s bank account by acquiring some modeling gigs for him as well.
    There are no real words to describe the types of people who hung around with models and in the fashion world, but many were predators and it is easy to become prey.  Several advances by women, as well as men had been made on him, and he became vigilant in his efforts to stay close by his brother or sister’s side.
    At the ripe age of sixteen, he lost his virginity to a supermodel with one name.  She was twice his age, filled with experience, and left him used up after a tawdry night.  She also left him with a venereal disease.  David had walked in on them and was polite enough to allow his brother to finish his first experience, but made certain the one-named seductress would never touch Wilfred again.  He filed charges against the woman and kept it all hush-hush.  David was burdened with the notion that he’d failed Wilfred and worked diligently to get the STD taken care of without their parent’s knowledge.
    As David had been gifted with financial and language skills, Wilhelmina was blessed with an outgoing personality and the piano-playing ability of one who had been schooled for decades.  Wilfred, very unlike the other two, was a bit of an introvert blessed with a beauty of words.  There were times where he did sing about the house, but only when no one was listening.
    The way that he looked also drew much unwanted attention to a young man who was uncertain of himself and a first sexual experience that left him humiliated.
    David had been very careful from that moment forward to select age-appropriate women who had been prescreened for Wilfred to spend some time with.  At the age of seventeen, after a few cameos on some television shows and two movie roles, Wilfred landed a lucrative underwear modeling deal with an A-list designer.  He was also fortunate to be the guy on the end in the United Colors of Benetton ads.  At the ripe age of 18, he had made his first million dollars.
    The modeling world had not been to his liking.  The people and the women were much too fast for a young man who needed time to allow the words that floated freely about his mind to sink in. Wilfred wanted to catch the words and put them on paper.  He wanted to be a writer.
    Leaving the modeling world behind, he opted instead for schooling enrolling in a small private college not far from his parents’ home, which was littered with liberal idealists who taught him to harness his words and write stories of beauty.  He published his first story in one of those love magazines, which earned him ridicule from classmates and professors alike.
    Working with his father, he used the same last name pseudonym of his sister and abbreviated his first name, taking on the persona of W.E. Devons.
    Under this persona, he published 23 short stories and his first novella.  Things had been moving along well for Wilfred in college until one spring morning when he awoke to find his roommate’s girlfriend with her hands under his covers. Mortified and shamed, he felt as if he had betrayed Butch, although the advances were completely perpetrated by her and he had done nothing to encourage her advances.  He had wanted to discuss what had occurred with his roommate, but David thought it wouldn’t be a good idea.  He was even more disillusioned when two weeks later he awoke to find Butch under his covers, face down, with a great deal of Wilfred in his mouth.
    Wilfred called his father, who came for his son and spent a weekend of fishing.  He was reluctant to tell his dad about Butch’s violation, but David Sr. knew something was wrong.  Since it had been his senior year of college, he finished the last
