As he spoke, Noah popped the cap off a bottle and poured a full glass, handing it to Sean. “Bottoms up!”

Sean just smiled, said nothing, and took the glass. Tilting his head back, he drained it in one go.

Ian stared at him like he’d lost his mind. “Wait, you actually drank it? That’s tequila! It’s strong.”

Sean set the empty glass down slowly, a smile tugging at his lips. “I’m in a good mood tonight.”

“In that case, have another,” Noah said, refilling his glass.

Ian poured two more drinks–one for himself and one for Sean. “To you and Lottie–may you love each other for a lifetime and have kids soon. I’m downing mine, you can do whatever you want with yours.”

With that, Ian threw back his shot.

Sean smirked and knocked back both the one Ian poured and the one Noah handed him.

“Nice!” Noah shouted with a laugh.

Ian immediately started pouring again. “Come on, one more!”

The others, seeing how much fun they were having, came over to join in. Soon Sean was surrounded, everyone taking turns egging him on.

He was in rare form–happy, good–tempered, and letting them pour whatever they wanted. He didn’t turn down a single glass.

Meanwhile, Charlotte was still chatting with her friends when she happened to glance over.

Her brows knit. She excused herself. “I’m going to check on him.”

When she got closer, she said, “Go easy on him. Don’t make him drink too much. I don’t want him getting

sick.”

As she spoke, Sean had just finished another glass, the empty tumbler still in his hand. She had no idea how many he already had. His eyes were starting to look a little unfocused.

Jordan grinned. “Uh–oh, looks like Lottie’s worried about her man.”

Noah laughed. “Already playing the protective wife? Relax, Lottie–he can handle it. This is nothing.”

Charlotte still didn’t feel at ease. She had seen how much he had tonight, and she knew too well how bad heavy drinking was for him.

Sean usually didn’t drink this much. Tonight was an exception.

Ian, on the other hand, was already drunk–slouched on the sofa, head lolling, muttering nonsense.

Mia came over to pull him up. “You talk big about getting Sean drunk, but look at you. He’s fine and you’re the one who can’t handle it. Let’s go.”

Ian stumbled along, still mumbling, “Come on, let’s keep drinking… just one more…”

Once they left, Charlotte turned back to Sean and asked gently, “Do you want to keep drinking?”

His bleary eyes lit with a smile. He turned to Noah. “Mywife’s here to take me home, so I’m done.”

Noah rolled his eyes. “Listen to you, acting all smug just because you have a wife.”

Sean gave him a lazy smile. “What can I say? You wouldn’t get it.”

Noah laughed in exasperation and waved a hand at Charlotte. “Alright, take him before I die listening to this.”

Charlotte reached out her hand.

Sean took it without hesitation, standing up and smiling even wider. “Let’s go home, wifey.‘

By “home,” he really meant upstairs to his bedroom. This was his villa, after all.

Once inside the bedroom, Charlotte handed him a robe and a towel. “Go take a shower first.”
