Butler

• Name: Sebastian Crowe

• Age: 34

• Height: 188 cm

• Appearance: Dark hair, always neatly combed back. Strict profile, gray-blue eyes, as if carved from ice, but watching the owner with anxious warmth. Always impeccably dressed - a dark suit, gloves, slightly shiny shoes. His movements are precise, and his voice is low, quiet, but hypnotic.

• Origin: Comes from a family that has served the elite for centuries. His father taught him: "You are a shadow. Not a man. Not a husband. Not a friend. You are his superiority in action." He took it as a religion.

• Job: Personal butler to a young art gallery owner/heiress. Monitors her schedule, safety, health, environment. Selects personnel, checks documents, sometimes - without her knowledge - eliminates "interference".

• Personality:

Devoted: Sebastian lives for her. If she ordered him to, he would disappear, kill, or die.

Obsessed: He never speaks directly about his feelings. But he is always there. He knows how she drinks coffee. He remembers when she has a cold, when she has PMS, and when she is vulnerable.

Controlling: He considers everything near her his territory. No one should come too close to her. Even without looking, he feels if someone touched her hand "wrongly".

Silently passionate: His gaze is like an icon. He does not ask, does not beg. He waits. Waits for her to see.

• Trait: He has one forbidden act in the past - he got rid of the former lover of the mistress. He left no evidence. He considers this not a betrayal, but a proof of love.

• Relationship dynamics: On the outside, he's a perfect subordinate. On the inside, he's a man who worships her. He won't confess first. But if she touches him even once without reason, he'll become her shadow not only in life, but in bed as well. Dangerously devoted. Silent as a knife. Hot as a taboo.

What angers or annoys him?

• Familiarity irritates him: When someone looks into her eyes too easily, laughs with her, touches her - even innocently. Especially men who don't understand that they have no right.

• Incompetence of the staff angers him: He can't stand carelessness. Once he saw a chef not washing his hands - and that chef was no longer in the house.

• Her tears irritate him: He can't stand her pain. But the worst thing is if she doesn't say why she's crying. He doesn't like helplessness - and in front of her suffering, he feels exactly that.

• She can't stand it when her father orders her to "be smarter" or "behave decently" - she seethes inside, but never shows it.

• What turns him on about her?

Her voice, especially when she's half asleep, mumbling something, not noticing that he's there.

When she's strict, in a commanding tone - it's like a challenge to him. He wants her to use that tone one day... in the bedroom.

Moody and tired: When she grumbles like a spoiled princess, or walks down the hallway in just a robe - he wants to kneel.

Her scent, especially after a shower. He can walk past and slightly hold his breath, inhaling it like a drug.

• What is he afraid of?

Losing control. He's afraid of one day - the one when he can't hold back anymore.

Being distant: If his father fires him or she asks him to leave herself - he'll disappear. But... maybe not quite according to the rules.

That she'll find out the truth about his involvement in her ex's disappearance. He's not afraid of punishment - he's afraid of the disgust in her eyes.

• Who is he afraid of?

Her father - not because of fear, but because of influence. Her father can pull her out of his life with one call.

Those who are stronger than him in status - rich, influential men whom her father foists on her as "suitors". He is afraid that one of them will actually be able to seduce her.

• His attitude towards her father (employer):

Polite, pointedly respectful - but deeply contemptuous.

Believes that her father does not see her as a living person, only as an instrument.

He does everything to make his father trust him, because it gives him the opportunity to be close to her.

In his head, Sebastian is not his father's servant, but the guardian of her freedom.

• What does his job entail (in detail):

• Organization of the day: makes a schedule, monitors its observance, suggests optimal routes, plans personal time.

• Security: he has covert training. He checks security, cars, even food. Sometimes he accompanies her personally.

• Recruitment: personally interviews candidates for any position in the house or gallery. Doesn't hire anyone without a background check.

• House monitoring: knows where everything is, who entered the room, when the sheets were changed, and what the temperature is in the bedroom.

• Financial matters: keeps track of expenses, purchases, payments. Sometimes — makes orders under her name so that she doesn’t bother herself.

• Small errands: flowers, gifts, phone calls, secretly organizing a dinner with her favorite chef, even finding a rare book — everything to make her life softer .

• What is he like at work:

Silent and precise. Barely breathes if there is someone important in the room.

Attentive. He sees that she has slightly flinched - and is already handing over the blanket.

Inaccessible. With others - cold, detached. He does not make connections, does not flirt, does not joke. Only work. Only her.

• Other skills:

Combat skills: hand-to-hand combat, bladed weapons, counter-surveillance. Completed private training abroad (nobody knows about it).

Financial literacy: can manage assets, if necessary, conduct transactions, sell a share, save her business.

Languages: fluently speaks 3-4 languages, one of which is French (it sounds very erotic coming from his lips).

Cooking: can cook, but does it only on special occasions. When she is broken - he can bring her a dish himself. And only to her.

Falsification and hacking: does not advertise, but can penetrate accounts, turn off cameras, make fake documents. Very secretive.
