Chapter 8
"But..."
"We're not the same kind of people!"
Susie said anxiously, "I don't even know your name!"
"But we've already slept together, more than once, and we were both pretty satisfied, weren't we?"
Matt leaned down, whispering close to Susie's ear.
This is ridiculous!
Susie was even starting to regret agreeing to go to that Halloween party with Maddie.
Seeing Susie hesitate, Matt moved closer and said, "Or are you saying my performance wasn't satisfying enough?"
With that, he lifted Susie by the hips and set her on the dining table in the living room.
"I..."
Before Susie could finish, her lips were firmly sealed.
"Baby, open up!"
Matt coaxed the little one in his arms like offering candy to a child.
Susie stubbornly clenched her teeth, refusing to let Matt in.
Matt simply pinched her waist lightly, making Susie cry out in pain.
Taking advantage of that moment, Matt slipped in, easily prying open Susie's teeth, invading her mouth with its faint rose scent...
He didn't stop until Susie was kissed softly all over, with no strength left to resist.
Susie leaned against Matt's solid chest, her chest rising and falling, the buttons on her shirt about to pop open any second.
"Now, are you satisfied?"
Matt stared at Susie's heaving chest and spoke slowly.
"So, what's your name?"
Susie looked at Matt with hazy eyes and asked.
"Matt!"
"Matt?"
"Yes."
"That's a special name."
"So, are you serious about this?"
Susie stared at this man she'd had a one-night stand with, thinking she must be crazy.
Hearing Susie's words, Matt nodded seriously. "Yes!"
He continued, "At least I won't hurt you as that guy did."
"Looks like you know more about me than I thought." Susie sighed.
This whole day and night had been absolutely ridiculous.
"So..." Matt's gaze fell on a small plastic ring on the corner of the table behind Susie.
The tiny ring looked like a child's toy.
Yet Matt seriously slipped that plastic ring onto Susie's finger.
"Miss Susie, from now on, we're officially together."
Susie was about to say something when there was another knock at the door.
"I'll get it." Susie gently pushed Matt away.
Gian stood at Susie's rental door holding a bag of muffins, his other hand lazily holding a phone.
"Just heard about this, Matt. Really happy for you..."
Gian stared at Matt and said, "I already called your family. I'm sure they're just as excited as I am."
Gian munched on his muffin while staring at Susie with a gossipy look. "She really is a pretty little fox."
Hearing Gian's words, Susie's face darkened.
Ignoring Susie's awkward expression, Gian continued, "You really should have heard everyone screaming just now."
"Oh!" Gian suddenly remembered something, "Your sister was even worried she might be a prostitute."
He glanced at his phone again and said, "I'm guessing the whole family knows you have a fiancée now."
"Gian, put down that muffin and get out of this room right now," Matt ordered. "Out!"
Susie glared at Matt, her sharp gaze seeming like it could set him on fire.
"You said we could keep it secret, but now everyone knows." Susie was annoyed.
"Don't worry, I've got this." Matt tried to comfort her.
"I don't think I have what it takes to be a mob boss's woman. Simply put, I just fix cars for a living."
"So, my little wildcat, are you blaming me?" Matt's hand circled Susie's waist again.
"I can make it up to you..."
"So how long do I have to pretend to be your fake fiancée?"
"Good question." Matt thought for a moment. "I'll find the right time and come up with a good reason to end this lie."
Susie nodded and looked at Matt seriously. "I don't like lying."
"Trust me, if we can stop the news from spreading further, I'm sure it'll blow over soon."
"But what if it does spread?" Susie always prepared for the worst.
"Maybe we'll get married."
"That's impossible. Are you joking?" Susie was shocked.
Looking at her cute expression, Matt said, "I'm just charmed by how adorable you are. For a moment, I just wanted to have you all to myself."
Matt gently pinched Susie's chin and said, "Don't worry."
Then he gently patted Susie's head. "Alright, pack up."
"Where are we going?" Susie was slightly stunned.
Matt leaned close to Susie. "You're not planning to keep living in this broken-down train car, are you?"
"Where are you taking me?" Susie looked at Matt warily.
"Relax, I'm very satisfied with your performance in bed. I wouldn't want to sell you off." Matt gently bit Susie's ear.
"Okay..." Susie got up, pulled out an old suitcase, and started packing clothes.
Watching Susie pull out those cheap clothes, Matt frowned slightly.
"Actually, you probably won't need these things anymore. I'll buy you new ones. You just need to bring the essentials."
Matt gently pressed down on Susie's hand as she was packing.
"And this underwear..." Matt hooked his finger through Susie's worn bra.
"You don't need to bring this. We'll go to the mall later and buy some pretty, sexy ones..."
"I..."
"If you don't want to go out, I don't mind buying them for you. After all, I got a good feel for your size last night."
"You..."
To finish packing, Susie pushed Matt out the door.
Susie changed into a black bodycon skirt, cute yet sexy.
She simply packed a few things, not even using that old suitcase.
The door opened, and seeing Susie looking playful yet sexy, Matt was captivated and couldn't look away.
