"Relax, Ruby. No one is this tense around their fiancé." I tried to do as he said and relax so I leaned further into him and pressed my back to his front which seemed to ignite a different reaction from him. "Not that kind of relaxing. You're only going to get me hard." He hissed in my ear. I smiled and decided to be naughty and play dumb. He held my arm tightly, "Ruby, stop." He warned. "I'm not doing anything, Oliver. I'm merely acting my role. Perfectly." I said innocently. "You really want to play this game?" He replied. "We're executing our role flawlessly. People are watching." I told him with a smile. "Then they'd better gobble this one up." In one swift move, he spun me around and smashed his lips to mine in the presence of everyone present at the party.
