“Then what do you want?” I know I'm asking out of turn, but his answer instantly confuses me even more. I would’ve sworn he’d been showing signs of interest, and I felt his boyfriend questions solidified that thought. Now he’s saying he doesn’t want a girlfriend. Why the hell not?

"That's three questions. Sorry toots, that's not in the rules."

“Toots?”

I glare. “Screw the rules, just answer the question.”

“You gotta earn it.”

“What game are you playing? Are you trying to confuse me?” I ask, narrowing my eyes at him.

"Too many questions, princess. Let's keep playing. We were having fun."

I look at him and can’t believe I'm letting him get to me. I went into this thinking I’d get answers, but right now I'm just full of more questions. Keeping the silence, I grab the bottle of whiskey that is still sitting on the table and pour me a triple. I look straight at his startled, curious face and down the drink with two gulps.

“Easy there. That’ll be hitting you hard here shortly. Especially if you can’t hold your liquor.”

“Don’t you worry about my liquor holding abilities. Just get on with the game.” I smile.

“Want to raise the intensity a little?”

“How do you mean?” I ask.

“How about we play strip UNO.”

I can’t help but laugh right in his face. Now with my new whiskey buzz, I want to come out of my shell and play. Maddox keeps a straight face and looks at me with such intensity that I agree, but I’m not ashamed by my body. Considering I just won, I know I can do it again, and maybe I’ll get to see those abs of steel or more.

“Okay, fine. What are the rules?” I see a quick chink in his armor along with surprise in his eyes. Good.

“Okay. Same rules apply. With a wildcard, we get to ask questions, but the person getting asked has to remove a piece of clothing. And to keep it interesting, I think we should double the number of cards we start with, to allow more time for questions, of course.”

“And to allow more opportunities to get me naked,” I add with a smirk.

“Or for you to get me naked,” he adds.

“I'm pretty good at this game. The result may not go how you hope.”

“Princess, whatever the result, I’ll be happy.”

I smile. “Alright then, you’re on. With one twist.”

“What twist would you like to add?”

“Because you are so much bigger than me, and because you probably can drink me under the table, we need to even the field in that respect. You need to drink. Now.”

“Alright. And how much would you like me to drink?”

"Put the bottle to your lips, and I will tell you when to stop."

“And this sounds fair to you?”

I answer with the hitch of my eyebrow and crossing my arms in front of my chest, slightly hiking up my boobs a notch to catch his attention. He wants a tease. I’ll give him one.

There's fire in his eyes as he catches my movements but reconnects eye contact before raising the bottle to his lips. I nod my head at him to start drinking, and Maddox responds instantly. I watch as his head tips back, and I see his Adam's apple dance with each swallow. I momentarily lose track of time watching him drink and am quickly brought back to the moment when he slams his hand on the table indicating it's getting to be a bit much.

“Okay, stop.”

He slams the bottle on the table and slides his chair back as he leans forward, coughing. I can’t help but giggle.
