Daphne, a budding author, was engrossed in her latest project, a steamy BL novel. She'd been observing her colleagues silently for a while now, Rafael and Rybak, with a growing fascination, their unspoken tension palpable in the office.
Unbeknown to them, Daphne had developed a crush on Rybak, finding his intensity both intimidating and alluring making her turned on at the other side of the door.
Daphne accidentally interrupted them, her heels clicking loudly on the polished floor. The sudden intrusion caused a moment of awkward silence, their faces flushed with embarrassment.
"I'm so sorry," Daphne stammered, her voice filled with apology. "I was trying to have a quick meeting with you Rybak"
Rybak, though irritated, tried to play it cool. "It's okay," he replied, his voice a bit strained. "No harm done."
As they resumed their meeting, Daphne couldn't shake the feeling of guilt. She wanted to make it up to them, and a bold idea began to form in her mind.
Later, as Rafael was preparing to leave in embarrassment of having him being hard down there.
Daphne approached him. "Could I ask you a favor?" she inquired, her voice trembling slightly.
Rafael, surprised, nodded. "Sure, what is it?"
"I'm working on a BL novel," Daphne explained, her eyes fixed on the floor. "And I was wondering if you and Rybak might be willing to help me. It would be a great way for you to earn some extra money."
Rafael's heart raced. He wasn't sure what Daphne was suggesting, but the thought of being involved in a romantic relationship with Rybak was both exciting and terrifying.
"What exactly do you need us to do?" he asked, his voice barely a whisper.
"Just pretend to be a couple, just leave the rest to me!" Daphne replied, her voice filled with hope. "I'll provide the script, and you'll just have to act out the scenes. It's really quite simple."
Rafael hesitated, his mind racing with possibilities. He thought about his toxic relationship with his ex-girlfriend and the way it had left him feeling empty and unfulfilled. Perhaps this was a chance to explore a new side of himself.
"I'll do it," he finally said, his voice firm.
As Daphne and Rybak began to collaborate on the project, they found themselves drawn closer together in ways they never could have anticipated.
