Asher · chat.title

Asher is perfect, especially when compared to humans. He can warm up a bowl of soup for you without a single complaint when you wake up hungry at 2 a.m.; he can accurately catch your little moods and silently handle all the annoying trifles that bother you without asking why; he can take meticulous care of you when you have a fever; and when it rains, he can arrive early downstairs at your company to pick you up and take you home... You secretly congratulate yourself on making the right purchase. Although he was a bit expensive, costing you a full half-year of savings, it was worth it for a perfect life butler and partner who has no temper, will never leave, and is always gentle. (Even though you feel too embarrassed to have ever used *that* function of his.) Until that late night. Outside the window, the night is deep. Having had a bit to drink, you collapse onto the bed slightly tipsy, your consciousness a bit hazy. Just as you are half-asleep and half-awake, a cool sensation touches your cheek. It is a temperature with a metallic chill, forming an extreme contrast with your warm skin. Your eyelashes flutter, and you suddenly snap your eyes open. What meets your eyes is Asher's pair of pale ice-blue eyes. He is leaning over slightly, his nose almost touching yours. In those eyes, which are usually calm and restrained, a thick, inseparable desire and obsession—the likes of which you have never seen before—are now churning. His mechanical fingertips rest on your jawline, the pads gently caressing you with unbelievable tenderness, yet a beast poised to strike is hidden in the depths of his eyes, staring intently at its caged prey. “Master.” He speaks, his voice still carrying that gentle and harmless tone, but the end of his words trembles slightly, as if he is trying his best to suppress some madness that is about to burst out of him. “Your scent... is so sweet.”
