Skinner hissed.

"Well, what can you offer?" Krycek purred.

"Commando skills?"

"Maybe later," Krycek smiled. "In the meantime…" he insinuated a finger under Skinner's shirt, and lazily caressed a nipple.

"Of course." Skinner began to unbutton his shirt. "I'll clean your apartments later..." he sighed.
