You were asking him a softball question, presumably to "reward" him for the access he gave you. That's how it works. So why are you then making a point of bringing up he's winking back when you wink at him? It sounds like you're playing the game, enjoying it, and when something goes wrong you go spill the beans that a game exists. I don't think this is naivety as someone else here mentions, it's something much worse.
