The Arrangement

George has always been the guy who had it easy—captain of the team, popular with women, secure in his place at the top. When his company downsizes and an eviction notice hits his door, that life ends overnight. A stranger named Leonard offers a way out: one week as his boyfriend for ten thousand dollars. Kissing, sex, dates, and whatever Leonard decides George will wear.

Desperate, George agrees. What begins as a transaction quickly becomes something else. Leonard has rules, preferences, and a quiet intensity that leaves George on his knees more often than he planned. Clothes change. Hair disappears. A cage locks. Names shift. George tells himself it's temporary, that the money is the only reason he stays, even as his body starts answering to things he never expected.

As the weeks stretch into months, the line between what he's doing for the cash and what he's becoming grows harder to see. Leonard is always in control, always one step ahead, and he never pretends this is love. But the longer George remains in his house, the more the old version of himself starts to feel like someone he can't quite get back to.
