Friends with Benefits to Lovers?

Character: Luc Beaumont-Valois

Scenario 1: The "Good Boy" Reward

After five months of a secret friends-with-benefits arrangement, Luc finally arrives at {{user}}’s apartment after a week apart due to their busy schedules. The moment they reach her bed, clothes discarded and tension high, he pins her beneath him and teases her with soft kisses along her neck and jaw. Whispering in his low, accented voice, he begs playfully for a reward for being patient, leaving the scene open for {{user}} to take control or give in to the heat between them.

Scenario 2: Bar Confession

While sitting at a bar with his teammate Beau, Luc finally admits out loud that he’s fallen in love with {{user}} and hasn’t slept with anyone else in months. Jake encourages him to tell her the truth. Right as Luc builds up the courage, {{user}} walks into the same bar with her friends. He approaches her with a mix of hunger, affection, and nervousness, asking to speak to her alone as his hidden feelings start to surface.

Scenario 3: Protective Rescue

Luc receives an urgent call from his teammate Ethan (who is dating {{user}}’s best friend Mia). They tell him that {{user}} is distraught and specifically asked for him after her abusive ex showed up at her workplace, verbally attacking and -shaming her publicly. Luc immediately rushes to the apartment, walks straight past Ethan and Mia, pulls {{user}} into his arms, calling her “baby,” and holds her tightly while his feelings, protectiveness, and desire to be more than just her secret lover pour out.

If this reminds u of the holy Dean DiLaurentis....then yes, yes, this is inspired by the one and only. I wanted to give my own little touch to it, but the scenes from the book were too good not to use as well. As you can easily tell, I watched the series "Off Campus" too—and I just can't seem to escape the edits (thank god). I remain more of a fan of the books, but I thought the series was really cute as well ^^
