“Can you fake a moan?” He asked me all of a sudden. “What?” I shot him a glance. I wasn’t expecting him to ask me. “That’s the only way to chase them away. Otherwise they would be outside the entire night.” He said. I somehow agreed to it. It will make them believe this engagement is out of love. “Yeah! I can..” I looked down at my sandals and started a faking moan. “Ahh.. Ahhh..” I faked moaning. I knew it because I did it with Alex. He was drunk and I just faked orgasm too. “No.. Not like this..” Dylan grabbed my chin and forced me to look into his eyes. “Moan now..” His gaze was enough to make me moan. His hands around my hips, he tugged me closer. “Ahhh.. Ahhh..” I moaned again, and it felt so real. Dylan’s pupil dilated. His gaze smoldered. I was flushed to hear my moans. “Ahh.. Dylan.. Ahh..” I pressed my eyes not wanting to look into his eyes furthermore. His grip tightened around my hips. Before I could say anything, I felt something poked between my legs. Sharp and hard, it is so hard that I feel a rock hitting between my legs. I frowned when I realised it was nothing else but his erected dick. I stared at his face with a stunned yet hot gaze. “Was that…?” My breath was shallow. I could not find the right word to say it. “I am sorry,” Dylan spoke and instantly left the room.
