“Guess it was one hell of a copulation,” he says, and for a moment I don´t get it.
But then I see a tiny chip on the upper side of the top sheet, barely visible, but I guess the techs will notice.
As they would notice the mess, I don´t think we managed to put everything in the correct place.
“Well, what can I say…” I sigh.
“I´ll talk to Roman,” Thomas says finally.“I´ll confess to everything.I´ll leave you out of it if you like…”
“No way!”I almost scream at the idea he´ll pretend to have fucked some nameless model in this place, which I already came to think of asmyski room.
“As you wish, our secret will be safe with Roman; he´s like a father to me.”
“I know.”
However, as I let him kiss me again, I realize I don´t feel safe with the secret.
Our little secret does not feel safe at all.
Deal or no-deal.
But it was bound to happen one day.
Now that we have rules to control it, it might not just ruin either of our careers.We are adults, after all, aren´t we?

The breakfast room is quiet.Too quiet after the glamour of last night.
Niko chews mechanically, still half asleep.Martin clutches a coffee cup like a lifeline meant to save him from his hangover.Lukas is relaxed.I know his medical scans came back before midnight.
And his knee is fine.
He won’t lose the Olympics.
I step in with practiced ease — low-key makeup, hair up, black jeans, and an oversized sweater.The kind of outfit that saysI’m just here for muesli, not last night.
My shoes echo on the marble a bit too loudly.I scan the room without meaning to.A stupid reflex.
