The wine from last year (2)

After a couple of sips, Alexander seizes the wine from my hand and selfishly decides to finish it all by himself.

I pout for a second, but there's no need to make a fuss out of it. I'll find other wine if I turn and look for it. Too bad that my eyes are locked on my husband.

I've been admiring him for a few minutes already, but I can't move my glance away. However, he must have done something weird, because he's never been this handsome...

I got it: it's the wine!

Drinking wine makes one handsome!

I hope it helps women too, though, because I've had plenty. However, my Duke isn't looking at me with more interest than usual, so it probably isn't the case. What a pity, I wanted to be handsome as well.

If wine doesn't work on girls, then I should try with aquavit. If not, there is always beer.

«What is my Duchess thinking about?» Alexander inquires with his devilishly handsome grin.

I swallow before finding the wits to answer.
