Keaton''s eyes flew wide open in shock. "!"


    He never in a million years thought Winona would pounce on him!


    Keaton was freaking out. "Don''t be ridiculous! I told you to go sleep with some hot guys to blow off steam, not to sleep with me!"


    Winona caressed his face, a seductive smile on her lips. "You''re hot too."


    Her smile was hazy; she was clearly very drunk.


    Keaton swallowed hard as he grabbed her wandering hand. "I know I''m hot, but you can''t sleep with me! You have to sleep with someone else! Now get off me. I''ll go make you something to sober you up."


    He ced his hands on Winona''s waist, trying to lift her off him.


    But instead-


    Winona quickly grabbed both of his hands, forcibly inteced their fingers, and pinned his hands to the floor as she leaned down over him!


    Before he could react, Winona pressed a quick kiss to his lips.


    Keaton was horrified. "Winona!"


    He raised his voice, and Winona frowned in annoyance. "Why are you being so mean?!"


    Keaton''s breathing was ragged. "Are you trying to get me killed?!"


    She had scared him sober,pletely sober!


    Who was Winona?


    She was the apple of his parents'' eye, Elysia Thorne''s best friend! If he slept with her in this ambiguous situation, how could he ever exin it to Elysia? How could he exin it to his parents? If he didn''t handle it right, Elysia and his parents would literally kill him!


    He might be a flirt who loved beautiful women, but he wasn''t an idiot. He could mess with anyone, but not Winona!


    "Listen to me, get off now. I..."


    Before he could finish, Winona suddenly nipped his Adam''s apple.


    Keaton: "!"


    Who could resist that?


    Keaton let out a low groan as his hormones surged.


    Fearing he''d lose control, he yanked his hands free, flipped her over, and pinned her down. "Winona, snap out of it! Do you know who I am?"


    Winona looked at him with pleading eyes, on the verge of tears before she even spoke.


    Keaton thought he had hurt her and quickly released her wrists.


    The next second, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down hard!


    Keaton lost his bnce and fell on top of her.


    Though he still had his wits about


    him, he was still a man. This couldn''t


    continue. He gritted his teeth and


    tried to scare her. “Winona, if


    keep this up we cant event


    f you


    friends anymore


    Winona, thoroughly drunk, shot back, "Are you even a man?" Keaton''s eyes widened. "Shit!"


    That was a low blow.


    "Hell yeah, I am!”


    Her eyes


    nere raw and bloodshot


    from crying, and Winona asked. bluntly. Then I want you Are going to give it to me or not


    Keaton: "I''m not..."


    Winona: "I''ve got money!"


    Just as Keaton was about to respond, Winona added, "Am I not pretty?"


    Keaton: "You''re beautiful, but..."


    Winona''s eyes reddened. "So you''re rejecting me?"


    Keaton tried to exin, “No, it''s not about rejecting you, I..."


    “So you''re just like him, you only like my money, you don''t like me, right?”


    Keaton: "?!" What the hell?


    Winona''s tears finally spilled over. “You''re a scumbag just like Zane, you only like money, not me!"


    Keaton immediately retorted, "I''m nothing like him! How can youpare a lowlife like that to me? And besides, I like money and


    beautiful women. If it wereit


    woman, would


    other


    have hesitated for


    a second!"


    "But not us. We''re friends. So I can''t touch you, even if I''d touch anyone else. I..." Winona looked heartbroken. "You''d touch anyone but me? Am I that bad?”


    Keaton froze, and just as he was about to exin, Winona suddenly pushed him off.


    She sat up, leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, and buried her head in her knees, crying.


    This whole series of eventspletely threw Keaton for a loop.
