    Summary

    “I have needs, Wille. I have not fucked anyone the entire time we’ve been married, and I cannot be jailed for adultery for cheating on my husband.”

    “Then do it with me.”

    -

    Simon and Wilhelm’s marriage was never about love. For four years, they lived like strangers under the same roof, sharing a bed but never touching, never daring to cross that invisible line.

    But needs have a way of catching up. And when Simon finally snaps, they strike a deal and Wilhelm makes an offer he shouldn’t: No strings attached. No feelings. Just bodies. A simple fix for a growing problem. It should have been easy. It should have meant nothing. Instead, it threatens to destroy the fragile distance they’ve clung to… and maybe, just maybe, ruin them both.

    (an arranged marriage/husbands with benefits fic)

    Summary

    So, this had just been a courtesy meeting from the moment it had been put into his calendar.

    “But a bodyguard, seriously?” he still asked, though at this point he sounded more like a whiny teenager than a twenty-four-year-old adult. “Nothing even happened, everyone was fine,” he still argued. To what end? He didn’t know.

    “But something could have happened,” his manager said, and he couldn’t exactly disagree with that. The situation had been scary, but he wasn’t about to admit that now. “And no one is willing to take that risk,” she added.

    “As if one single bodyguard could have made a difference,” Simon mumbled under his breath.

     

    Or, when singer Simon Eriksson reaches new levels of fame, his management decide to hire a bodyguard, Wilhelm, to ensure his safety.
