Husband With Benefits
Nora is shattered a month before her wedding when she uncovers her fiancé's deceitful affair. As she manages this betrayal, she discovers a deep ploy to hinder her from claiming her rightful inheritance. Devastated but determined, Nora takes a daring step to regain control of her life. Enter Demetri 'The Demon' to those who know him, a formidable man barely known to her, who offers her protection and support in return for a contract marriage to satisfy him. In a twist of fate, Nora marries Demetri to claim her inheritance and fight those who plotted against her. But as she battles her own family and Demetri's many rivals, will she be able to keep from falling for the man known to crush people beneath his booted heel.
Excerpt:
She had forgotten that the man was intimidating and directly challenged him.
Rather than speaking, Demetri rose from his seat and approached her deliberately. Although it was a mere few steps, time seemed to stretch for Nora. When he was almost within touching distance, his hand gently landed on her knee, moving it sideways. His touch moved with a hint of a caress, and he stepped between her open legs. Nora sat there in frozen silence, her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights.
Catching her chin between his fingers, he tilted her face upwards and spoke unhurriedly," You are my wife."
She nodded her head slowly in affirmation while his thumb slowly traced her lip. "I have given you time to gather your emotions."
Another nod. Nora's nervousness made her lick her lips, acutely aware of his intense gaze fixed upon them.
"Your reason for the marriage was to secure your inheritance and get away from under your mother's thumb."
"Yes..." Nora whispered in confusion. Her confusion was not about his statement but about the bewildering sensations coursing through her. What was happening with her?
"It's time for you to fulfil your end of the contract, yes?" He continued.
"Yes," Nora whispered breathlessly. Why was she breathless? Had the oxygen level in the house dropped? Was the air suddenly thinning?
Abruptly, his hand left her face, and she watched as he drew closer. It was then that Nora comprehended what was unfolding. All those tantalizing, heart-pounding kisses she had read about in novels were about to possibly become her reality.
But the anticipated kiss didn't happen. Instead, he paused near her and commanded, "Kiss me."

Rachel who was still crying shouted in pain as if she was being hit instead of him. She struggled out of Robert's grip which was still very strong even though he was loosing his strength. She looked at him and shouted "Let go of me, I will kill them all."
He gave her his most charming smile and he said "Let me protect you for the last time."
His words broke Rachel's heart and she struggled out of his grip even harder, tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes. It was as if those waterworks were not ready to stop. She gave him a hit on his face and said angrily "Stop saying that, don't you dare leave me or I will kill you."

**Exerpt**
Kimberly opened her eyes and sat bolt upright in bed the moment a phone alarm went off under her pillow.
Kimberly didn’t like alarms. She never set them because they had a way of making her feel anxious when they went off, and she didn’t like it.
So, who could have set an alarm on her phone? She mused with a frown as she raised the pillow to take out the phone.
The moment she saw the phone, the crease between her brows deepened.
This wasn’t her phone. This was the latest iPhone, and she didn’t use iPhones.
Almost as soon as the thought crossed her mind, she noticed that something was different about her. She was feeling sort of funny.
While she was still trying to figure out why she was feeling funny, she looked around the bedroom and frowned even more when she realized that this wasn’t her bedroom.
Where was she? she mused as she quickly took off the duvet and got out of the bed.
As soon as her feet hit the ground, she looked down with a frown. Her feet were different. They were bigger. Her hands, too.
Was she still asleep and dreaming? She wondered and then gasped when she noticed the tent in front of her pajamas as though something was protruding out of it.
What was that? What was in her pajamas? She wondered with wide eyes. Her heart beat fast, and her mouth was dry as she reached out a finger to see what it was.
She poked her forefinger at it, and she felt something hard. It moved but remained erect.
Was that what she thought it was? She wondered as she held the waistband of her pajamas to take a peek.
Just as she was about to look inside, the bedroom door burst open, and she looked up to see who it was.
She was shocked when she looked back at herself dressed in exactly what she had worn to bed.
“Kimberly?” Herself asked, unsure.
Kimberly frowned as she hurried over to the mirror to see what she looked like if she wasn’t in her own body.
“MELVIN?” She screamed in disbelief when she saw that she was now Melvin.
She turned to look at herself and before Melvin could say another word, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Could lust turn into love?
*COMPLETED*
*Mature Content.*
*This book is not for young readers.*
Paula was arranged to marry William although he already had a lover, Lea. Sounded like a cliche arranged marriage story because he planned not to touch his wife and intended to divorce her one day when his lover returned. However, his plan failed miserably. He did not expect that his wife was an aggressive woman and always demanded her rights as a wife. She had him wrapped around her little finger.
Finally, William and Paula agreed to live like friends with benefits. They would do fun things in bed, with no feelings attached. Of course, they did it in secret, without telling a word to Lea. In addition, they also agreed to get a divorce one day, when everything was under control.
However, things got complicated when Paula and Lea were found pregnant. Who would William choose? Paula or Lea?
Seniors in a friends - with - benefits relationship enjoy several perks. Social interaction is a big one. It keeps them engaged with the outside world and not feel isolated. They can also exchange resources. Maybe one has extra blankets and gives them to the other who needs them. And in terms of mental well - being, having someone to have a friendly chat with, laugh with, or even have a small argument with is very healthy. It keeps their minds active and gives them something to look forward to in their daily routines.
It can be both yes and no. On one hand, it offers a no - strings - attached form of physical intimacy for some people who are not ready for a committed relationship. It can be a way to explore one's sexuality and have fun. On the other hand, it often blurs the lines between friendship and romance, which may lead to emotional confusion. For example, one person might start developing deeper feelings while the other just wants to keep it casual, and this can end up ruining the friendship.
The main benefit is that it strengthens the relationship. By sharing stories, friends get to know each other better. For example, a story about a past failure can show vulnerability and make the friendship more real. Also, sharing positive stories can inspire and motivate each other.
Yes, it is. There are numerous real - life cases where individuals find themselves in a friends - with - benefits situation. It can start in various ways. Sometimes it's because two friends have known each other for a long time and there's a certain level of comfort and attraction. They might not be ready for a serious relationship but still want to explore a more physical connection. It can also happen between people who meet in a more casual setting, like at a party or through mutual friends. This type of relationship reflects the modern idea of being more open and flexible in relationships, rather than strictly following the traditional dating and relationship models.
A 'friends with benefits' Tagalog story could be about two friends in the Philippines who decide to have a relationship that's more than just friendship but less than a full - fledged romantic commitment. For example, they might start by just enjoying each other's company, going out together, and then gradually move into a more physical relationship while still maintaining the guise of friendship. It could explore the emotions, complications, and cultural aspects within the Filipino context.
Good friends can provide emotional support. When you're feeling down or facing difficulties, they are there to listen, comfort, and encourage you. For example, if you have a bad day at work, a friend can cheer you up with kind words and a listening ear.
There were two coworkers, Mark and Anna. They were friends at work and often had lunch together. One night after a company party, they ended up hooking up. After that, they became friends with benefits. They enjoyed each other's company in a more physical way on weekends. But soon, they realized that their friendship at work was getting affected. People at the office started to notice something different between them. So, they decided to stop the friends - with - benefits thing and just go back to being normal friends.
Yes, there are. Firstly, it strengthens your bond with your friends in the game. Also, when you help friends in story - related content, you often get rewards together. These rewards can include valuable in - game items like gear or currency. Moreover, it can make the story progression more interesting as you experience it with others and can share different strategies for completing quests.
In general, no. Marriage often comes with certain expectations and boundaries. However, in some cases where there are strong friendships pre - marriage that continue after, there could be elements of this. But most married people focus on their own marriage and family unit rather than having this sort of arrangement with other married friends. So, it's not a common occurrence.
Once there were two seniors, Tom and Mary. They had known each other for years. They both liked going to the park to feed the ducks. One day, they realized that they could help each other out with small tasks around their homes. Tom would fix Mary's leaky faucet and Mary would bake Tom his favorite cookies. It was a simple, friendly arrangement that made their senior years a bit easier and more enjoyable.
