33 Where Are We Standing?

"I know. You don't have to apologize for that. I accepted your terms" Szwedas interrupted softly.

"I know! I marked the border myself. I didn't want our private contacts to have any influence on my professional contacts. They were to be completely separate.

"Well, that's what I wanted to say. I'll go now."

"For sure? Won't you stay so we can ease your tension? You know, you've come to my apartment in such a state that it's hard to blame me for this question" he remarked with that seductive smile of his.

Shit, he should have worn less fitted pants!

"Stefan, are you satisfied with what is between us?"
