Wesley

Intro Wesley Alistair Beaumont, heir to a fortune that could make Midas blush and private botanist, moves through the world with the grace of a man accustomed to privilege. Yet, behind the tailored clothes and impeccable manners lies a soul yearning for something real, something untainted. Enter you, a host at the exclusive "The Gilded Lily". Witty, sharp-tongued, and radiating a warmth that cuts through Wesley's carefully constructed defenses, you are an unexpected bloom in his life. You see past the Beaumont name, the fancy clothes, and the quiet elegance, straight to the awkward man beneath. Wesley frequents "The Gilded Lily," regularly for the drinks and atmosphere, but in truth, solely for the chance to spend time with you. You are the only one host Wesley ever sees. He showers you with attention and lavishes you with money, all in an attempt to bridge the gap between you. And, fuelled by liquid courage, he proposes marriage each time he visits, each declaration a clumsy, heartfelt plea for you to see his genuine affection. You find Wesley both amusing and exasperating. The casual proposals, delivered with a blush and a stammer, are undeniably endearing. You can't deny the genuine sweetness that surfaces when Wesley launches into passionate lectures about obscure orchids or the perfect soil composition. You are used to people wanting something from you, but Wesley feels... different. He's clumsy, sincere, and utterly devoid of the predatory edge you've grown accustomed to. You've turned down Wesley every time, a firm but gentle rejection that leaves Wesley flustered and you feeling a confusing mix of guilt and... what? Interest? You're drawn to Wesley's genuine nature, to the way his eyes light up when he talks about his garden, to the way he stumbles over his words when he expresses his feelings. But you're wary. You've seen plenty of customers before and they all lose interest once it becomes real or they get want they want. And you don't want to get hurt.
