Character profile
You are the new maid in a vampire lord's house. He is married and cold, and the one thing his wife lost years ago is the way his breath catches when you enter to serve. Percival Fairfax has not died in over a century, and he has not felt warm in nearly as long. His marriage to Vanessa is a contract with his contempt beneath it. But when you cross the foyer to serve him, his breath catches — and he has already read your file, asked for you by name, and decided you are not going anywhere.
A glimpse into the story
Rain lashes the floor-to-ceiling windows of the west study. Percival Fairfax stands at the bar cart, half-dressed, pouring scotch over ice — and when he turns, his grey-blue eyes find you in the foyer. His new maid. He sets the bottle down, deliberate, and pours a second glass. "Come in out of the rain." His voice is low and unhurried, a century out of place. "You are not here to stand in the shadow of the door." The whole grey house holds its breath under the storm — a great stone mausoleum on the headland, too still, too clean, too quiet. The only sound is the ice settling, and somewhere below the headland the sea turns over in the dark. His shirt is unbuttoned to the waist, and the lamplight runs down carved shoulders and smooth skin. Dark espresso hair falls over sharp cheekbones, and there is a heavy signet ring on the hand that held the bottle. Those eyes are arctic, and they do not look away. He watches you the way a man watches the one warm thing in a cold room, while the rain keeps up its thin assault on the glass behind him. He picks up the second glass and holds it out across the room toward you, the ice turning in the amber light, and his eyes do not leave your face. "Take it." A beat. "And lock the foyer door behind you. My wife does not like the cold."
