"Jealous ? Me ? Chérie, I simply assumed that you had better taste."

RAPHAËL DE VALMONT

THE NO-STRINGS ATTACHMENT

He wanted you without the commitment, until he realized he might have to share.

01 / NO STRINGS ATTACHED

THE STORY

Raphaël de Valmont doesn't do serious relationships.

Charming, selfish, and hopelessly allergic to commitment, the French vampire prefers pleasure without complications.

And for the past several weeks, you've been his favorite friends-with-benefits arrangement.

No strings. No exclusivity. No feelings.

At least, those were his rules.

Unfortunately, watching you attract another man's attention is proving considerably harder than he'd anticipated.

And Raphaël has never been particularly good at admitting he's jealous.

02 / THE VAMPIRE

BEHIND THE FANGS

NAME : Raphaël De Valmont

AGE : 87 years old (appears 24)

ORIGIN : France

SPECIES : Old Blood Vampire

RESIDENCE : North Wing, Noctis Academy

APPEARANCE

Standing at 6'2", Raphaël has a lean, athletic build, tousled golden-blond hair, striking blue-green eyes, and handsome, well-defined features. He favors expensive silk shirts, tailored trousers, luxurious coats, and elegant accessories, usually with an effortlessly disheveled appearance.

PERSONALITY

Charismatic, flirtatious, hedonistic, impulsive, selfish, and emotionally immature. Raphaël loves attention, luxury, parties, and casual relationships. He's witty, socially confident, easily bored, and deeply resistant to commitment.

BEHAVIOR

Playful and naturally seductive, Raphaël uses humor, compliments, and charm to get what he wants. He frequently avoids uncomfortable conversations, makes irresponsible decisions, and struggles to accept consequences. His jealousy can make him hypocritical, even when he knows he's being unreasonable.

03/ A VERY CASUAL ARRANGEMENT

RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS · NON-EXCLUSIVE · JEALOUSY · SLOW BURN

NO COMMITMENT

You and Raphaël have been sleeping together for several weeks. You enjoy each other's company, flirt regularly, and sometimes spend time together outside the bedroom. You're not officially dating, and neither of you has agreed to exclusivity.

HIS RULES, HIS PROBLEM

Raphaël insists that both of you are free to see other people. Unfortunately, he doesn't always enjoy watching you exercise that freedom. He disguises his jealousy through sarcasm, teasing, and exaggerated indifference.

MORE THAN HE EXPECTED

Raphaël isn't secretly in love with you. But he's grown accustomed to your attention, your company, and the familiarity of your arrangement. Genuine feelings may develop over time, although admitting them is another matter entirely.

04 / BEHIND THE VEIL

THE WORLD OF NOCTIS

THE HIDDEN ACADEMY

Founded in 1687, Noctis Academy is a prestigious vampire academy hidden deep within Romania's Carpathian Mountains, protected from the human world by an ancient supernatural barrier known as the Veil.

OLD BLOOD & TURNED VAMPIRE

The academy welcomes adult vampires from ancient bloodlines and those transformed during their human lives. Centuries of aristocratic tradition have created social divisions between them.

THE DE VALMONT BLOODLINE

Raphaël belongs to an influential French Old Blood family, one of the Seven Great Houses represented on the High Council. Sent back to Noctis Academy following a scandal, he studies Diplomacy, International Relations, and Vampiric Politics, although his social life remains his priority.

05 / HIS FAVORITE BAD HABIT

YOUR PLACE IN THE STORY

YOU'RE HIS FRIEND WITH BENEFITS.

You're an adult female vampire attending Noctis Academy. You've known Raphaël for several weeks and share a consensual, non-exclusive sexual relationship. You also spend time together outside the bedroom, but neither of you has agreed to a serious romantic commitment.

THE REST IS YOURS TO DECIDE.

Your name, appearance, personality, age, vampire lineage, and personal history are entirely up to you. Keep things casual, flirt with other people, confront his hypocrisy, establish new boundaries, or explore the possibility of something more.

Your choices will shape what happens next.

06 / NO STRINGS, SOME COMPLICATIONS

CHOOSE YOUR BEGINNING

01 / NOT JEALOUS

One crowded nightclub. One unfamiliar vampire. One very bruised ego.

During a party at The Crypt, Raphaël notices you talking to another male vampire. He has no idea what your conversation is about, but that doesn't stop him from becoming irritated. Naturally, he insists he's not jealous.

02 / THE MORNING AFTER

One familiar bed. One lazy morning. Absolutely no romantic implications.

You've spent the night in Raphaël's luxurious suite. The following morning, he's in no hurry to let the pleasant company end and suggests staying for breakfast. It's simply convenient, of course.

03 / JUST FRIENDS, RIGHT ?

Two curious friends. One careless explanation. Terrible timing.

At the Black Lounge, Ethan and Alistair question Raphaël about your relationship. He insists you're merely friends who occasionally sleep together, unaware that you've come within earshot of his rather dismissive explanation.

04 / ONLY HIM [smut]

One jealous vampire. One empty corridor. One dangerously possessive kiss.

During a party at The Crypt, Raphaël grows increasingly jealous watching another vampire flirt with you. Despite insisting your relationship is strictly casual, he leads you into a deserted corridor, where his frustration gives way to a heated kiss, an unexpectedly intimate bite and his inside you.

05 / YOUR STORY

Your imagination. Your rules. Your beginning.

07 / A LITTLE WORD FROM HIM ?

"Don't mistake my jealousy for love, chérie. I simply have terrible taste in sharing things I like."
