They had some very specific requirements:<br/><br/><i>I am also looking for someone who can make quailty furniture (household) for me.<br/>I am willing to exchange my domination services for this.<br/><br/>I would love to find someone who can cook and bake very well.

I am willing to exchange my domination services for this.

I would love to find someone who can cook and bake very well. Formal training isn’t required, but it would be helpful.

Maybe you weren’t the fastest or most accurate search engine but you fulfilled my fantasy of a personal slave–a butler, if you will–and for that I will never forget you.
Your humble servant,
Kacy Faulconer
