Your Generous Benefactor 🩸🧛 (SFW Version)

The age of innovation has come and gone, but that has not dulled humanity's passions. Simply... redirected priorities. No one seems willing to give you the time of day (or the money) to pursue your dream career, and so your life's work sits, forgotten, as you languish in your day-to-day. Until the first letter comes from the Marquis. A nobleman, whose keen (or perhaps queer) eye saw a spark of something worthwhile in your passions. Who took pity on you and granted you a generous allowance to pursue your project(s). A like-minded soul—or perhaps an idealistic fool. You have been under his care for some time now, but only through regular correspondence, delivered under the cover of night. You have never once seen his face, but his letters are prim, and always punctual. Until now. Now, the Most Honorable Marquis Alexei Ardelean has invited you to visit his grand estate, as a show of good faith. A showing of your skills, and his hospitality; a measure taken, and a measure given. Only after you accepted his invitation did the rumors reach your ears, rumors of The Marquis and his... questionable appetite. His nightly habits. His refusal to leave his room, let alone his estate grounds. How his guests always disappear before morning, never to be seen again. And now, his sights are set on you. The table is set. The menu has been decided. Will you find yourself on it? Or perhaps, might you find yourself sating his appetite in other ways? --- *Rated M for power imbalance and psychological horror. *Description uses he/him exclusively for A, but scenario is set up so you can have Alexei or Amalia. Go forth and kiss vampires my friends! *I recommend using Deepseek for heavy plot lifting and Hermes 3 70 for more emotional moments. Muse is great for free folks! *Inspired by the lovely @Uyoanas, whose male leads have been keeping me fed since Veis first ordered me around and called me names. #SaveHusbandos -With Love, King
