Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1573

He had dealt with countless women, and with others, he could usually play dumb. But Winona had left him completely and utterly baffled.

Keaton stood there, helpless. He never imagined that a heart-to-heart talk could end up like this!

He looked at his palms; they were slick with sweat. He had been scared to death!

Then he looked down at his body's reaction, and Keaton grimaced and bit his lip.

“Booze! I need a drink! Give me some booze!” Winona suddenly looked up at him.

Her makeup was smudged, her hair was a mess, her eyes were red, and her eyelashes were dotted with tears. She looked pitiful.

Before Keaton could speak, she added, “Am I not even worthy of drinking your booze?”

Keaton: “...You wait right there. I'll let you drink your fill!”

He went and grabbed a few more bottles of vodka. “Anything else is off the table, but drinking is definitely on. I'll drink with you, all night long!”

They went shot for shot, and before they had even finished one bottle, Winona started going wild again.

She cried and laughed for a bit, then tackled Keaton again. “I just want to sleep with you. What am I supposed to do?”

As she spoke, her fingers drew lazy circles on his chest.

Her teasing made Keaton's heart race, his mind flustered.

His mind said no, but his body was telling a different story. That, combined with the alcohol, made it hard to refuse, even though he wanted to.

She was beautiful, her body was soft, her lips were soft…

Winona started crying again. "You don't want me," she whimpered, her voice thick with tears. “You’re no better than Zane! You don’t care about me—all you see is the money. You’re not even man enough to look me in the eye. You’re just another pathetic coward!” Her voice rose to a desperate cry before dissolving into tears.

Keaton swallowed hard. He was drunk too, with only a sliver of reason left. He shook his head to clear it a bit. “Winona, do you know what you're doing?”

Winona stopped her hands and let out a drunken hiccup. “...Sleeping with you.”
