This story has been inspired by recent revelations having to do with Matthew Settle and Kelly Rutherford's ongoing and apparently flourishing relationship. It's kinda what I've been thinking happened/led to that defining moment they shared in France. "But friendship can be an excuse, a cover when there's something more that you don't want to admit or you're too scared to explore.."

Chapter 10: Wonderland

Monday May 28th, 2012

The sun was just starting to peak through the shades and danced across their facial features. Kelly stirred against Matthew her eyelids fluttering open while she watched the sun slowly play across his face as he slept. Oh, was he breathtakingly handsome she thought to herself as she admired him. She couldn't help but smile to herself when she noticed his lips twitch into a grin, Kelly wondered what he was dreaming about. Very carefully she rolled her body on top of his knowing dawn had only just broke but she had a feeling the day was going to be a great one. Kelly let her fingertips stroke his rough cheek smirking as she leaned down and kissed his neck softly. "Wake up," she whispered softly into his ear as she planted a gentle kiss to his earlobe, poking her tongue out and dipping it into his ear briefly then returned to her assault of kisses along his neck.

Matthew smiled and let out a soft sigh, the sensation of a body rolling on top of him and soft warm lips brushing his skin was heavenly. He wasn't sure if he was still dreaming or if someone was really trailing kisses across his neck, but he rose to attention accordingly. Suddenly at the wet feeling of a tongue poking his ear and a soft plea for him to wake up, he came to his senses. It was Kelly, of course, he shifted beneath the weight and his eyes flickered open, Matthew blinked several times to ensure that he wasn't still dreaming. Happy that this was real life Matthew slid his hands up and down Kelly's naked sides. "You're going to kill me baby," he murmured to her his voice dripping drowsiness.

"Oh, no I don't want to do that…" Kelly trailed off feeling him eagerly come to attention between her legs as she straddled his lower body.

Matthew laughed gently to her response and slid his hands up her sides they curled around her shoulder blades and skated up to the back of her head. He grabbed her head his fingers fisting into her hair as he brought her lips to his own. In that moment he selfishly silenced her, needing to feel her lips against his. When their lips met it was a sweet union which quickly turned into a passionate filled exchange.

She smiled against his lips as he slowly trailed his hands away from her face and they skirted down to her shoulders, to her sides. There was no way she was going to stray far from his lips their union was that intense. Good morning, her body pressed fully down into Matthew's as his hands slid up and down her sides as his tongue slipped past her lips and invaded her mouth.

His tongue wrapped around hers and Kelly melted into him as their tongues dueled and hands wandered all over their naked bodies. Matthew rolled his right thumb over her left hipbone his nails lightly scrapping against her skin. A soft moan escaped his lips as he felt her hand wrap around the length of him. Kelly's hand skillfully slid up and down the length of him her thumb rolling over his tip, teasing him as her hips connected with his in an obvious fashion showcasing what she wanted. Suddenly there was a piercing ring from one of their cell phones. "Who could be calling at this hour?" Kelly pondered breathlessly as their lips parted.

Her body stiffened as she heard the ring tone knowing instantly that it was her iPhone that was ringing. Their lips parted then and Matthew brushed his lips from her jaw line to her neck smothering her with kisses. "Ignore it,"

Oh, that was such an appealing suggestion Kelly thought to herself as he moved his lips along the curve of her neck. As another ring echoed throughout their room Kelly sighed in frustration as she shifted her weight above him. "Just let me get rid of them." Kelly reached over to the night stand next to their bed and grabbed her iPhone. When her eyes scanned over the caller ID she groaned. "What the hell does he want?" Kelly muttered agitatedly as she shifted and answered her phone whilst Matthew assaulting the top of her shoulder with kisses. "Hello?…Daniel, yeah what's going on?"

Matthew was lost in a lustful haze and continued to glide kisses from her shoulder to the curve of her neck his nose nuzzling her neck distracting her. He didn't know who had called but he was more interested in getting rid of the caller to continue what they started than anything else. Slowly his hands moved up her sides curving around her shoulders bringing her body down against his own. He pressed a kiss to her collar bone his tongue poking out and gliding across the bone to tease Kelly's flesh.

"What? No…" Kelly huffed and rolled her eyes biting down on her lower lip as she glanced down at Matthew. His teasing was impossible to ignore and of course she was enjoying it but this phone call with Daniel had put her in an entirely new mind set. No longer was she the horny girlfriend wanting to have morning sex with her extremely sexy boyfriend, no. Now Kelly's mind was occupied with thoughts of her children, and with Daniel talking her ear off, essentially the mood had been killed. Skillfully Kelly wiggled out of Matthew's embrace regretting it instantly but knowing he would be far too distracting that she wouldn't be able to have a suitable conversation with Daniel if she stayed in bed with Matthew. She grabbed her silk dressing robe that had come with the negligee from off the floor. Kelly shrugged into it covering her naked frame as she stood on the side of the bed.

"Damnit Daniel, are you kidding? Why couldn't you have told me this yesterday?" She asked as her foot tapped against the floor.

Matthew pouted as she managed to slip from his grasp but then he heard the name of the caller and immediately understood. Propping himself up in their bed he watched her start to make circles around the room. He desperately wanted to wrap his arms around her and tell her it would all be fine, even though he had next to no knowledge about the current situation. Matthew could only assume it was something to do with their schedule with the children, he straightened himself out in the bed as his eyes followed every move she made.

"Okay, so I'll have them from Wednesday to Saturday night?" Kelly said into her iPhone clearly tying to figure things out.

Matthew pushed himself off their bed and snuck up behind her pressing a kiss to her temple as he headed to the bathroom. Kelly couldn't help but watch him as he did so, curse Daniel for so rudely interrupting their moment. She listening to him babble, suddenly back pedaling and it broke her out of her trance, "Fine, no, no that actually works out better for me…Yeah, that's fine. Okay, I'll see you in a few hours." Kelly clicked off her iPhone and sighed heavily, seriously what the hell was wrong with him? She shook her head and smiled when she heard the sound of the shower and Matthew singing softly above the sound of the jet. After she placed her iPhone onto the night stand Kelly walked out of their bedroom and down the hallway to the kids room. She quietly opened the door and checked to make sure they were still sound asleep. Kelly stepped away from the door ran a hand through her hair her eyes shifting over the lack of coverage that her dressing robe provided considering it was mostly sear.

Upon arrival to their bedroom Kelly passed the threshold pushing the door closed behind her and quickly walking to the bathroom. Not making a sound Kelly stepped into the bathroom being surrounded with the light steam that was billowing into the whole of the room. She untied the robe, letting it fall from her slim frame before she tossed it to the side. Kelly pushed the shower curtain back only far enough for her to slip inside. Matthew was turned towards the jet rising the front of his body off no doubt, Kelly licked her lips and slipped her arms around his midsection her breasts firmly pressed into his back. "Hello," she purred above the shower jet pressing a kiss to his shoulder blade as she felt his body lean back into her.

"Why hello," he returned her greeting as he turned to face her. "So, what did Daniel want?" Matthew questioned, his eyes taking over her appearance as he tried to gauge her emotions, her mood. Her eyes were hooded and unreadable, there was something there though a burning intensity. Desire, anger, need, frustration, want, he wasn't sure exactly which one it was or if it was a mixture of all of them he figured he'd soon find out.

Kelly leaned forward then and released Matthew, she placed her right index finger to his lips. "Shh, I don't want to talk about him." She slowly removed her finger from off his lips while she continued on her tangent. "I want to finish what we started earlier," Kelly whispered suggestively her eyes lowered to his length as she stepped forward and her hand curved around him while her lips covered his.

Matthew leaned into her touch and pinned her back against the shower wall caging her there between both of his arms. His hands resisted touching her as Kelly's hand rolled up and down his length speeding up and slowing down only to tease him. Which worked perfectly she had riled him up just enough that they could get back to what they had been so rudely interrupted from when Daniel called. Their lips meshed together and broke apart with a smack. His eyes flickered open and their eyes locked with one another's.

Brown eyes burned red hot with lust as she gazed into Matthew's green eyes. That look and she was done in for, she arched her body off the shower wall which caused Matthew to shove his full weight against her so she was pinned to the wall. The hot jet cascaded all around them and their lips meet in the middle of the droplets of water showering down on them. Kelly hooked her left leg around Matthew's waist as he reached between their bodies and stroked her folds once, while his index and middle finger disappeared in her. When she felt his fingers enter her Kelly gasped her hips gyrated along with his movements. His teasing was delicious and the moment he inserted his ring finger into the mix, her insides churned with desire. "Ahh," their lips broke apart and her breathing shifted coming in short spurts as her chest heaved in time. Her pelvis rocked up meeting his palm with each thrust of his fingers, his thumb rolled over her clitoris and Kelly moaned.

He squinted through the beads of water and smirked watching her was one of his favorite things. The way her body arched towards him, the graceful way it withered from under his touch as she unraveled and lost all of her bearings was beyond beautiful he was obsessed with this woman. Obsessed with pleasing her, with making her feel unbelievably amazing each and every time. His breathing got heavy, just watching what he could do to her turned him on. Without preamble Matthew withdrew his fingers and hooked his index finger between Kelly's lips as he gathered her and thrusted into her sharply.

As he hooked his index finger into her mouth Kelly latched onto it and sucked off her salty sweetness. When their eyes met Matthew growled almost primitively as his arms looped around her ass lifting her off her feet and causing her back to loose contact with the shower wall. Kelly's legs obediently twined around his waist as he thrusted into her hard. "Mhmm," she groaned as her back slammed against the shower wall aiding in helping hold her in place. Her hands skid down his chest before they cupped his cheeks and she brought his lips to her own needing to taste him.

Their tongues meet and Matthew's teeth scrapped against her tongue briefly before he sucked on it tasting the remaindered of her sweetness that lingered there. He moaned into her mouth as her hips clashed against his. Over the last few days they had developed a natural rhythm that drove him wild. It was hard for him to control himself recently when it regarded Kelly, he felt her fingertips tease the small hairs at the nap of his neck before they slipped into his slick hair. Kelly clutched a fistful of his hair and jerked on it separating their lips from one another's, as she did so Matthew thrusted into deeply. "Ugh, Kelly.." came from his lips in a breathy moan while he pounded in and out of her.

For Kelly this wasn't about wanting to make love this was sex, this was her needing a distraction a diversion. Her head hit the shower wall as their lips broke apart and her chest heaved up and down from the intensity of their union. "Harder," she breathed out in a hard tone above the jet of the shower her hips grinding into Matthew's as she urged him on.

At her command Matthew thrusted into her harder, his pace taking on a rougher feel. He groaned against her neck and his lips scrapped across the tender flesh of her neck, before his lips attached themselves to her skin. Matthew left his mark on her flesh and grinned against her skin when he felt her body wiggle against him. Her hands began to wander down his frame however he stopped her fun and lifted her arms above her head with his right hand as he drove into her.

When he wrapped his arms around her wrists and heaved them above her head Kelly groaned as she attempted to arch her body off the shower wall. She had little success getting closer to him but it wasn't all bad, her eyelids flickered her heart racing as he relentlessly hit close to her undoing. "Oh, yes…." came out between breathy sighs as his lips descended from her neck moving to her chest, "ahh right there, yes." His tongue poked out from between his lips and teased her nipples to a hard peak before he trailed his way back up to her shoulder. Once he reached her collarbone Matthew's teeth sunk into her soft pale flesh and his hold on her wrists tightened at an almost painful rate.

Being trapped between Matthew and the shower wall Kelly couldn't do much, so she did what she could and swiveled her hips letting out a contented sigh as they connected with his. As her hips countered his movements he tightened his grip on her wrists but more for the sake of not wanting her to fall. He loved when she gave him subtle directions such as these, it let him know what she liked, what she wanted. Matthew grunted as he slid easily out of her, his tip teased her entrance while he rotated his hips slowly jolting his pelvis forward and pulling it back for effect. Green irises were glued to her facial features as her lips slackened before they formed a breathy Ah, that could barely be heard above the incessant beads of water that rained down on them. Again his hand gripped onto her wrists tighter, while he admired her as she reveled in their intense connection.

Kelly's head bobbed from side to side her heart thudding quicker and quicker with each thrust, and touch of his lips. She bit down on her lower lip hard as she felt his hand clasp onto her wrist even tighter, it was painful but for some strange reason it also felt good. As he arched this pelvis forward and then back with a slight rotation of his hips Kelly moaned loudly his tip circled her clit as it inched close to her entrance before leaving her. "Matthew…please," Kelly whimpered not giving a damn about how whiny it may have come out. At this point she would resort to begging if it meant she would get what she wanted. She fought against his weight and arched her back off the shower wall her the hard peaks of her chest pressed into his as her hips grazed his. Their hips held contact for a few seconds until his weight crushed down against her causing her to resign back to her former position.

The desperation in her voice was evident and Matthew soaked up her words becoming intoxicated by her, her smell, her words, the look in her eye, just her in general. He rocked forward on to the balls of his feet as he thrusted back into her fully without warning and began a rather rough pace. Matthew let out a heavy breath as he moved in and out of her quickly not letting up.

"Oh," Kelly's legs quivered around him and her hand twisted around and her fingernails dug into his hand that had a death grip on her wrists. The muscles in the pit of her stomach clenched down and she let out a staggered breath as he slammed into her roughly his tip hitting her g-spot over and over again with no sign of letting up. Everything became fuzzy as he pulled out of her and then filled her once more as she stretched to accommodate him. She felt his left hand skate down the front of her slender frame and she squirmed against him when his thumb flicked her throbbing sex.

While his hand was preoccupied elsewhere Matthew's lips crashed down against Kelly's as he slowed down his rhythm. Knowing that she would get frustrated with him caused him to smirk against her lips. He pulled completely out of her once more as their lips parted he heard Kelly groan in protest. When her lips smashed back down against his, he could sense her desperation, her need for him. Her tongue twisted around his engaging in a battle for power, she relented and then bit down on his tongue before she dislocated their lips. Matthew gasped at the passion behind their latest union, and continued with his slow leisurely pace, until he pulled out of her completely.

As he left her completely Kelly's eyelids flickered open, she blinked several times as his eyes skirted from her chest up to meet hers. Lust reflected back at each of them and Matthew leaned all of his weight into her as he loosened his grip on her wrists briefly to make up for his next move. When he slammed back into her filling her, she yelped. Sensation taking over her entire body a heady mixture of pain, pleasure, and surprise it felt unbelievable. Kelly's chest heaved quickly as he thrusted into her roughly hitting her g-spot nearly every time, she was on the very edge. Her eyelids blinked vigorously as her breathing came in breathy gasps, her heart pounded furiously in her ears. "Ahh, yes…Matthew," she moaned as he thrusted into her sharply.

"Fuck," Matthew uttered as the hot beads of water pelted down on them in almost perfect timing to the pace he had set. Kelly's hips met his with each rough assault and he trailed his lips down her throat and glided them across her clavicle as he nipped at the flesh there. He knew from the past few days that, when he nipped at her flesh this way she could never hold out. "Baby, give it all to me," he breathed out heavily as he nipped at her flesh again her skin being tinged a light pink from all the attention it had receive from his teeth.

She heard his words as he became all lips and teeth at the nap of her neck, he already knew a few of her weaknesses. Kelly gasped loudly as he rammed into her roughly, pain shot through her core, but her legs tightened around his waist as her walls clamped down around him, it was an erotic mix. "Matthew," she screamed out as she unraveled, loosing all her bearings her eyelids fluttering closed as she tipped her head back and rode out her orgasm.

At the feeling of her reaching her peak he clamped tightly to her wrists his left hand skated down to her hips as he shoved her body firmly against the wall. He caged her body there while she withered against him her body succumbing to her earth shattering peak. While he observed her Matthew continued to move inside of her until he soon found his own release. Matthew breathlessly mumbled, "Kelly.." as he thrusted into her one final time before he stilled and buried his head in her neck as he unloaded everything he had to offer. His hand lost it's grip on her wrists and her hands in turn fell to his shoulders the sound of their breathing the only thing that could be heard over the water of the shower.

Her body felt light she rolled her neck before she tipped her head back against the shower wall her chest heaving in time to her breathing. With the return of her wrists Kelly stretched her fingers clenching and unclenching her fists before she skimmed her thumb over Matthew's shoulders. His breathing was erratic for a few minutes and she felt him go limp inside of her as Kelly used her fingers to cup his chin and lift his head up so that she could gaze into his eyes. A smile lit up her entire face as their eyes locked and she stoked his jaw line with her thumb before she lightly embraced his lips. She smirked against his lips when she heard him gasp from the softness of her kiss. With careful ease Kelly unwrapped her legs from around his waist and slumped down on shaky knees to her own feet. She securitized his facial features then tipped his forehead down to her lips and she moved on wobbly legs to her tip toes brushing a kiss to his forehead.

Matthew was completely enamored by Kelly and as her lips lightly skimmed his he gasped, she was always so soft, so loving. Their most recent encounter was the furthest thing from soft and loving so it semi-surprised him when she kissed him that way, the urgency no longer crippling. He took a deep breath to regulate his breathing and smiled down at her when their eyes meet. As she tilted his head down towards herself Matthew's eyelids naturally closed while he reveled in the feeling of her velvety lips was to die for. Matthew saw her shiver and no words were exchanged as he scooped her in his arms directed them towards the water. The rest of their shower was all intimacy as Matthew raked his fingers through her hair and shampooed and conditioned it for her. Kelly in turn did the same thing for him washing his hair and then grabbed a luffa. Once she got the luffa smothered it in soap, she skidded it across his chest before she lowered it making sure his body became a mess of suds.

His body surrendered under her gentle touch and he shivered inwardly despite the hot water that pelted down on them. Matthew surveyed his sudsy body and smirked up at her brushing his nose against hers several times before he removed the luffa from her hand and caressed her body with it. Kelly sighed and her body melted with his tender touch as he ridded her skin of the day before. Once he finished washing her body he pulled her fully under the jet with him as both of them smoothed off the suds from the other's body. After one final rinse Matthew reached around Kelly's body which only brought her fully against him as he switched the water off. It trickled out of the shower head and the sudden lack of warmth caused Kelly to shiver. Matthew clung to her, his hand securely holding her body to his as he placed a kiss to her forehead and opened the shower door. He stepped out into the steamy bathroom and offered her his hand moving over to the counter where he had set out a towel.

With the towel in hand Matthew swaddled Kelly in it, before he moved over to the small cabinet in the bathroom and retrieved another one for himself wrapping it around his waist. The couple made their way into the bedroom both covered with towels. Kelly glanced over her shoulder at Matthew as she picked up her suitcase, Matthew walked up behind her and took the bag from her. He heaved her suitcase onto the bed which rewarded him with a brief kiss before she began to rummage through it. "So, babe what did Daniel want?"

Kelly looked up having heard her ex husbands name and shook her head glancing down at her open suitcase and retrieving a pair of clean panties and then a white bra. "Nothing." She says shaking her head as she sets her undergarments to the side of her suitcase and pulled out a pair of white skinny jeans continuing to shuffle through her suitcase avoiding Matthew entirely.

Matthew raised an eyebrow to her clipped tone and shook his head as he stopped searching through his own suitcase. "It's not nothing though Kelly, you were pretty upset about it when you came into the shower. You wouldn't talk about it then but I could tell you were upset from the look in your eye, but I would never deny you anything… so gladly I helped ease your mind. But come on, please talk to me," he pleaded with her his eyes never straying from her.

As soon as she heard his little speech she paused and looked up at him letting a soft sigh shutting her suitcase. "Alright, it's just ugh…Daniel treats our co-parenting like a business arrangement sometimes, like he can just shuffle dates around and it's no big deal. He acts like he's the only party involved sometimes and it just bugs me."

When he saw how frustrated Kelly was becoming simply talking about her ex husband he neglected his own suitcase and walked over to her. "Sush," Matthew urged her as he placed a soft kiss to the back of her neck. His palms curved over her shoulders as his thumbs began to knead the tension out of them. "So, what did he want to switch around?"

At the feeling of Matthew's lips against the back of her neck Kelly felt herself relax a smidge. It was when she felt his thumbs start to massage her shoulders when she felt herself lean back into his touch. "Well he has some meeting to go to out of the area and he wanted to switch so that he picked up the kids today and had them until tomorrow morning.." she took a deep breath to keep her emotions at bay.

"And," he pressed wanting her to open up and talk to him about this. His lips caressed the back of her neck connecting with her vertebra as he slid his lips to the crook of her neck. Matthew's thumbs continued their circular motions along her shoulder blades.

"And, after thinking about it, I thought that would work out fine, as long as I got to keep the kids until Saturday night. Daniel agreed to that, so in our favor we have the entire day to ourselves." Kelly said in an almost overly excited tone as she spun around in his arms her arms wrapped around his neck.

"Oh, I can already think of a few positions we can try out," Matthew said suggestively as he wiggled his eyebrows at her.

Kelly laughed and shook her head as she let her fingers curl over his shoulder rubbing it gently. "As appealing as that is my love, I want to spend time with you outside of this hotel room." She stepped even closer to Matthew their bodies brushing against one another's as she glanced down and reached for his hand. "You know maybe we could go to St. Tropez, walk down the street together, finally walk around holding hands in public," at this point Kelly laced her fingers in between the spaces of his and moved her eyes from their joined hands to his eyes. "And just enjoy the atmosphere with you. You know, they do say France is one of the most romantic cities."

Matthew bit down hard on his lower lip as her body brushed against his own. God, this woman is going to be the death of him. Just a slight brush of her hand or her goddess physic drove him wild, into a world of desire and need for her. When it came to Kelly he realized that ever since they crossed that line that he just simply could never get enough of her. He smacked his lips together and sighed before shrugging his shoulders in defeat, he would always give into her pleas. "Anything for you," the statement was sealed with a quick peck and Matthew gently pulled away from her. Since he knew full well that if he didn't they would get caught up and possibly miss their breakfast with the children before Daniel got there to pick them up. He would have to settle for just a few quick kisses, they could continue later. Even after having her in the shower earlier he wanted her all over again, once her eyelids flickered open and she gazed into his, he knew the feeling was mutual.

Kelly glanced down shaking her head in an attempt to clear her mind of the wayward thoughts that had began to creep back into her mind once his lips brushed hers. Their bodies lost all contact and she watched him walk back over to his suitcase continuing to get dressed for the day. She watched him momentarily while he tugged his pants up his legs and did the zipper before buckling his belt. Her cheeks flushed when he looked up and caught her watching him, she quickly turned back to her suitcase masking her face from him.

Matthew looked up after he did his belt buckle and caught her staring at him. That simple fact alone caused him to smirk to himself. It made him happy to know that he wasn't the only one affected by the other. Clearly Kelly couldn't get enough of him either based on the semi-glazed over look that was reflected in her brown irises as she bit down hard on her lower lip. Once she realized that he caught her he laughed while she quickly diverted her attention to her suitcase.

Quickly she picked a comfortable pair of white skinny jeans and then she grabbed a matching white basic t-shirt pairing it white a dark grey shawl to go over it. Her eyes caught sight of the red mark that circled the circumference of her wrist that had been inflicted by Matthew's death grip in the shower. After she shuffled through her bag she found a chunky bangle that when paired with her outfit completed it. She grabbed her classic tan Hermés bag that went with practically everything, every outfit combination Kelly could come up with it matched. Opening her bag she glanced over the inside making sure all the essential contents were intact then closed it and then began to pack up the rest of her things. Making her way into the living room Kelly joined Matthew and they began to situate their belongs for check out. Since Daniel had switched their schedule with the children Kelly had decided to switch locations, she and Matthew would be getting a hotel room in St. Tropez while they explored the area today.

Before they can make small talk Helena stumbled sleepily out of their bedroom dragging her favorite teddy bear along with her. Matthew's eyebrows shoot up and his eyes meet Helena's sleepy body, hurriedly walking towards her and scooping her up into his arms. "Good morning beautiful little girl!"

As Matthew went and picked up Helena Kelly smiled widely while she watched their exchange carefully. Helena clung to Matthew fiercely as she buried her head into the curve of his neck clearly still feeling drowsy. Just listening to their exchange was like music to her ears Matthew was so great with her children, it was like they were meant to be a family, that's how natural and right it always felt.

She brushed her blonde hair behind her head and gathered all her damp blonde tresses into a chiffon as she made her way to Matthew and Helena. Kelly walked up alongside of them, and rubbed her hand up and down her daughter's back in a soothing manner before she placed a kiss to her tiny head. Matthew held her in his arms and smiled at Kelly as she moved away from them and down the short hallway to the children's bedroom. She placed her palm against the wooden panel of the door and lightly pushed against it as she stepped inside. Her eyes took in the sleeping form of her son and she grinned before while she crouched down by bed their faces close. Kelly gently ran her hand up and down his arm as she tried to coax him to wake up.

Hermés stirred groaning in his slumber while he turned away from his mother and hid under the covers. Kelly laughed gently had her son's lack of wanting to wake up, she knew the feeling. She pushed herself up from the floor and her eyes took in the children's bags and things thrown this way and that. Placing her hand on her hips Kelly sighed heavily and then gathered all the things off the floor setting them down on their bed. She separated each of the items that she found on the floor and started to pack all of their things back up. It made her frown that she had to say goodbye to her kids of the day especially since it only reminded her that she would be leaving very soon to go back to New York, and that she'd have to go back alone.

With an assessment of the kids suitcases Kelly selected outfits for both of her children and then took their other bag that was all packed up and took it into the main room of the hotel. By this point in time Helena was much more awake and jumped up off the couch running at Kelly. At her daughters excitement towards her appearance Kelly's heart fluttered and she giggled as Helena wrapped her tiny arms around her legs as she stopped her in her tracks. "Well hello, sweetheart!"

"Mama, can I get dressed," Helena asked her eyes sparkled with childish excitement at selecting her outfit for the day.

Kelly shook her head at her daughter's enthusiasm at only eight thirty in the morning, she nodded her head and offered her hand. Helena squealed in response and her tiny fingers clasped on tightly to Kelly's hand as the two walked towards the children's room. With a glance over her shoulder at Matthew he smiled at her and pushed himself off the couch beginning to tidy up the hotel.

As Helena and Kelly walked through the door of the children's bedroom Hermés rolled deeper into the covers. Kelly shook her head as she tugged on the covers and heard her son groan as he protested waking up. Helena wasn't having any of the codling enough was enough, she hopped up onto the bed and tackled her older brother, "wakey wakey Hermés!" She grabbed small fistfuls of the comforter as she attempted to yank it away from her brother.

Stepping back Kelly stood by the doorway and observed her children, they would always be the most important people in her life. Her mind began to stray to the way she and Matthew spent their morning. The memory and feeling of their encounter in the shower was still fresh and in the forefront of her mind. Just the thought alone made Kelly blush, as she shook her head in an attempt to rid it from her mind. But when she stepped forward a soreness shot through her body steaming from between her thighs. This soreness was delicious but it also caused her pace to be slowed significantly, and served as a unmistakable reminder of all their activities over the past few days. Activities that would quite frankly make any woman in her forties blush and feel like she was in her twenties again, experiencing mass amounts of sex and undivided attention from her partner.

While her daughter roused her son into waking up Kelly tried to rack her brain and figure out exactly when the last time was that she engaged in so much sex. Since she and Matthew had literally been going at it everyday since he got to France. It wasn't that she minded, because well…what woman in her right mind would? All the sex they had been having was beyond exhilarating and she wouldn't lie she was very much enjoying herself. They had already had sex about a dozen times since Matthew had arrived in France and Kelly was honestly having the time of her life, but it wasn't just sex. Of course some of the times it was, but there was always a deeper connection she felt to Matthew while their bodies were conjoined and when he'd gaze into her eyes during it she knew he felt it too.

Instinctively Kelly bit down on her lower lip as she recollected the first night they spent together in France, the night she finally admitted to him that she was in-love with him. That night had been perfect, in every sense of the word but right now it almost felt like a distant memory considering all the things and activities they had gotten into since then. Activities that included a whole day cooped up in their hotel room…sex-galore, the note, the lilies, breakfast, lingerie, the day with the children, getting hot and heavy in the bathroom, that night riding him, and then this morning in the shower. She had always had some expectations of Matthew ever since they crossed over the line he was living up to every single one of them. Before her mind would let her stray any further Helena patted Kelly's left leg energetically. "Mama…Mama!"

Shaking her head Kelly glanced down at her beautiful little girl who was starting to look more and more like herself and it was scary. "Yes darling?"

"Where are my clothes?" she questioned with a tipped head and her small hand curled around her hip.

Seeing her little girl have so much attitude caused her to bit her tongue to prevent herself from snickering. Kelly leaned down to be level with Helena and removed her hand from her hip, "enough with this attitude little girl. Your clothes are right over here!" She pointed over in the direction of the end of the bed where she had laid out both Helena and Hermés outfits for the day.

Her daughter cranked her head over to the end of the bed where the outfits were laid out and squealed in delight. Just then the attached bathroom door creaked open to reveal Hermés who walked over to Kelly and embraced her. "Morning Mama."

"Morning buddy!" Kelly said as she returned her son's embrace, as she pulled back from him she ruffled his hair a little bit. "Did you sleep well?"

"I did…until Helena decided to jump all over the bed!" He offered with a serious look on his face as he glared over at his little sister who was in the process of changing.

This response received a good hearted laugh from Kelly she shook her head at her son. "Yes, I can imagine how that would spoil it, but it was time for you to wake up." She watched him carefully while he shrugged and mumbled something inaudible. "Your outfit is right over there…go get dressed."

Hermés scuffed at the idea of getting dressed, oh he was such a boy. Kelly smiled at him as she leaned down and pressed a kiss to his head. "Fine."

At that point Helena scurried back over to Kelly in her outfit striking a pose making a kissy face. When she saw her daughter pose she couldn't help but shake her head, "You guys we have a change of plans…your father is going to pick you up after breakfast and then we'll have tomorrow through Saturday together. Okay?"

When Helena heard the new plans her eyebrows scrunched together and she made a sad face. "But…Mama we were supposed to hangout today!"

"I know I know baby, but your father has a meeting tomorrow so he asked if he could spend the day with you guys today."

Meanwhile Hermés was finishing getting dressed and pulled his shirt over his head before he nodded his head. "Okay, sounds good. Will Matthew be spending time with us when we get back?"

There was a question Kelly wasn't exactly ready for, her lower lip curled into her mouth and she sucked on it momentarily as she tilted her head to the side. "No sweetie Matthew is leaving tomorrow morning…so it'll be just us."

"Oh," was all her son offered up he looked a little sad about it and Kelly felt a pang of sadness tug on her heart. Matthew's connection and relationship with her children and the way her children reacted to him always made her feel all warm inside. They were truly a family even if they weren't necessarily the conventional sense of the word they all loved and cared for each other and at the end of the day wasn't that all that mattered?

Then Matthew walked into the children's bedroom creating a stir from the children who hurried towards him as they nearly tackled him to the ground. "Well hello kidos! Ready for some breakfast?"

Through a secession of excited responses Matthew urged them to follow him to the dining room where he had set up breakfast for the four of them. Hermés and Helena hurried through the door trailing behind Matthew who glanced over his shoulder at Kelly. "Coming love?"

Glancing up from the children's discarded pajama's Kelly nodded, "just give me a second, I'm going to finish packing up the children's things."

"Okay, don't be too long." He encouraged her as he disappeared around the corner after her children getting them all situated at the table with a bowl of cereal, fruit, and some juice.

"Mhm," she mumbled as she bent down and collected their pajamas and put them in a separate section of their suitcase making sure to keep them apart from the children's clean clothes. Her eyes shifted around the entirety of their room Kelly mentally assessing that she hadn't missed anything that belonged to the children. She sighed and blinked zipping up the children's suitcase and carrying it out of their bedroom and into the main suite.

"Get over here baby," Matthew waved her over to them at the table and padded the space next to himself.

Kelly heard his term of endearment and couldn't help but smirk at him as she dropped the children's suitcase by the door. Once she was relieved of the suitcase Kelly took long strides and joined the three of them at the table. When she reached the table Matthew stood up and pulled her chair out brushing a kiss to her head as he pushed her chair in. She picked up her napkin and laid it out on her lap smoothing it down which made a barely noticeable contrast against her pair of white jeans. Her fingers wrapped around an individual box of Honey Nut Cheerios and after opening the box she poured it into her bowl. Kelly sprinkled some fresh cut strawberries onto the top of her cheerios before she added a splash of skim milk to the mix.

A comfortable silence fell over the table as the four of them ate spoonfuls of cereal and gulped down orange juice. Matthew's eyes became drawn to Kelly while she chewed a spoonful of her breakfast. His hand moved on top of the table and he reached over to grasp onto Kelly's free hand, only making her look up from food. After she finished chewing up her spoonful she gave Matthew a small closed mouth smile then squeezed his hand in return. No longer than fifteen minutes later they were all pretty much done with their food and the kids politely excused themselves while Matthew rose to clear the table. Kelly's eyes followed him as he moved easily around the table collecting the dirty dishes and stacked them so he could carry them with ease. He walked over to the sink and placed them inside while he began to make some dish water.

For a moment Kelly watched him move then she pushed her chair back and stepped around the table making her way toward the sink where Matthew had stationed himself. The children darted into the kitchen area by the pair and circled around them Hermés chased after Helena who clutched the remote control for one of his cars. "Woah, woah…break it up you two!" Kelly interjected as she separated her children, "Helena what do you have?" She asked while she crouched down to be eye level with her daughter.

Helena wound her arms around her back as she concealed the remote control from her mothers eyes. "Nofffhing." She said as she fixed her mother with an innocent doe eyed look.

When she heard Helena answer her Kelly narrowed her eyes slightly at her daughter, "Helena!" She said sternly while she extended her hand towards her waiting patiently for the little girl to give up the remote control.

"You don't even like toy cars, Helena!" Hermés countered from around his mother's shoulder placing a hand on his hip as he glared at his sister who stuck her tongue out at him.

"Hand it over Helena." Kelly encouraged her little girl as she rocked back slightly on her heels ready to wait out Helena.

After a few seconds Helena huffed at her brother, offered a pouty lip to her mother before she finally handed over the remote control for Hermés toy car. Once Kelly finally had the remote control in her hand she returned it back to her son and then moved to stand up as the kids went back to bickering good heartedly with one another. The sound of them joking with one another was pure music to her ears, she loved when they got along. However she also didn't mind it when they fought in a playful manner it kind of reminded her of how her relationship was with her own brother. Which only pricked a spikey feeling of guilt within her, she needed to call her brother Andrew. It had been to long since she'd talked to him…she missed him, if she was being honest.

Matthew had just finished off the dishes when there was a sharp precise knock at the door, it caused both of them to freeze, both well aware of who was on the other side. It made her frown since she knew this was the dreaded exchange of their children, Kelly didn't want to let her babies go with Daniel, but in all fairness he was their father, no matter how much she may dislike him that fact would never change. She shook her head and sighed heavily while she made her way towards the hotel door. Her hand clamped down onto the handle of the door as she pulled it open and revealed Daniel, her son ran to him almost immediately and Helena clung to Kelly until the last possible moment. Hugs and kisses were exchanged between Kelly and her children, small talk was made between her and Daniel, and finally the children's bags were exchanged and that was that. She blew both of her children final kisses just as the hotel door closed as she maintained a brave face just for them. Kelly truly hated every second she was apart from her children, they were her life.

Once the door clicked shut her features were taken over by a deep frown that cut through the lines on her forehead, and Matthew sensed her mood right away. He made his way to her and in one motion he gathered her into his arms and held her tightly. Kelly released all the emotions she was feeling within herself the moment she was locked in his arms, she'd never felt safer. Matthew's arms wrapped around her, his lips brushed a kiss to her temple and his hand rubbed soothing circles in the middle of her back. She pulled back and gazed up at him sniffling as she agitatedly wiped the tears off her cheeks. Seeing her this upset caused Matthew to frown, he hated seeing her cry. With the use of his thumb he brushed some lingering tears from her cheeks, "how bout we get out of here? Maybe head over to St. Tropez like you wanted…" he trailed on in the hopes of lifting her spirits.

Upon hearing his suggestion Kelly nodded eagerly, "that sounds wonderful…you're truly the greatest Matthew." Kelly uttered in a soft yet extremely genuine tone her eyes darting between his as she exhaled a breath she wasn't aware she'd been holding in.

"Oh, sush!" He relayed some of her exact words back at her with a smirk on his lips. His whole act only caused her to laugh and swat his arm. "Are you all packed?"

"Yes," she whispered as she naturally turned away from him and her eyes began to mentally survey the entirety of the open space she could see of their hotel pent house. When she didn't find any of her things still laying around Kelly bit down on her lower lip and moved from his arms. With careful precision she surveyed the entire suite from top to bottom, under beds, couches, end tables, dressers, and in closets. After she checked and rechecked every single square inch of their pent house suite and was satisfied that they indeed had everything Kelly smiled apologetically. "I just don't want to leave anything behind," she defended her through actions with a shy smile as he stepped forward and tucked a flyaway piece of her blonde hair.

This moment was beyond natural with him, she leaned into his hand as his thumb gently glided up and down her jaw line before he drew her lips to his own. They embraced each other with several prolonged kisses and once they finally broke apart they gathered their bags setting them on the cart and headed towards the elevator. Once they finally checked out Matthew and the bellhop loaded the bags into Kelly's rented car. When they finished loading the bags Matthew handed over some cash to the bellhop and then opened the passengers door for Kelly and held his hand out for her to help her inside. After she was securely in the vehicle Matthew scurried over to the drivers side and slipped inside.

Kelly's eyes were transfixed by his every movement and once he finally slipped inside of the car she sucked on her lower lip. He jammed the key into the ignition and when he switched it over the engine roared and then he smoothly pulled away from the hotel heading towards St. Tropez. While they drove Kelly reached over and linked her fingers between the spaces of Matthews right hand wanting to feel that connection with him. With their hands joined he gave hers a gentle squeeze while she used her opposite hand to futz with the radio dial searching for a station that they would both enjoy. After about five minutes she let go of her search and dropped her hand back into her lap. The thumb of her left hand that was held captive by Matthew's glided over his knuckles as she hummed along to the random course that ebbed from the speakers in their car.

Thirty minutes later they arrived safe and sound in St. Tropez, Kelly's eyes grew wide as she admired all the buildings and architecture from the confines of the rented car. Her entire body shifted towards the car door, her hand never leaving his. This was a clear give away that Kelly wanted to experience these buildings in person and not just from behind the glass of car window. "Do you know anywhere good to stay?" Matthew pondered randomly out loud as his eyes pealed off the road of a second to take in his girlfriend properly for the first time in about an hour.

Instead of using words Kelly shook her head as her eyes continued to take in the sights before her. "Um, no…wait pull over…let's try here," she said as her right hand pointed to a very beautifully built hotel.

Matthew didn't need any more convincing than that, he found a spot and parked easily between two very expensive cars. He cut the engine and hurried to open her door for her, which only caused her to fall in love with him more. As he tugged the door open his hand extended towards Kelly who willingly took it and gingerly stepped out of the rented car. Their hands stayed together as he led her towards the entrance of the hotel. All it took for them to get a room was for the lady at the desk to recognize them, thank god for Gossip Girl and the fact that it was a widely liked show.

The couple booked a romantic room for two and graciously thanked the lady behind the counter for her generosity. With their room keys in hand Matthew fetched a bellhop and headed to the car to collect all their bags. Kelly went straight up to their suite disappearing into the bathroom as she freshened herself up and waited for Matthew to show up with their bags. Only a short while later he arrived with Kelly's bags along with his own and exchanged cash with the bellhop before he shut their door.

"Wow, look at this place.." Matthew gushed as his eyes darted around most of the hotel room.

"I know, it's perfect! Too bad we won't get to enjoy much of it!" Kelly teased as she stepped forward her fingertips playing along the collar of his shirt her body brushed against his.

"Cause if you want love
We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be awhile"

It didn't take them long to disperse from their hotel room, since they knew that they'd be returning to the safety of it later that night. At this point it was early afternoon and the couple had so much to do, so many places to explore around St. Tropez. Kelly for one was excited beyond belief about spending this kind of time with him in a city that wasn't New York. A city that didn't have the incessant flashbulbs of the paparazzi, one that allowed them for the first time really, to be the couple they wanted to be. The couple that didn't have to answer to anyone about how long they'd been together and or anything of the nature. She scanned over his entire side profile as she gulped subtlety, Matthew was just so attractive. Kelly found herself mesmerized by him, she plain and simply couldn't take her eyes off of him.

He weaved his fingers through hers as if it was the most natural act on planet Earth and swung their hands ever so slightly as he embarked out of the hotel with her. The pair headed down the sidewalk both admiring the atmosphere that surrounded them, and before he could make any attempt to protest Kelly was pulling him into a shop. Shopping was seriously a major weakness of hers, she just couldn't turn down a decent sale, it was like programmed into her or something. Her fingertips brushed along a cashmere ruffled scarf, before they easily glided across a beige wool knit scarf. A smile formed across her lips, both scarf's were lovely and from the simple touch of her fingertips she'd fell in-love with both of them, she had to have them.

Selecting both scarf's in the right color and material proved to be rather difficult, they didn't even end up having the exact ones she wanted for the display she found them rather in the store's cataloge Since she had to have them Kelly placed an order with the company online as she rattled off her home address and e-mail address. She pulled out her wallet and swiped her credit card paying of the scarf's up front so it was an expense she wouldn't have to worry about later.

When her transaction was finalized and she received her order number Kelly accepted the printed copy of the order which also doubled as the receipt before she led Matthew out of the shop. He began to tease her which only earned him a jab to the ribs with her elbow. They both giggled and headed further down the street pausing here and there to admire the culture that was all around them. At one point Kelly spun around in front of him and started to walk backwards as she used her finger and encouraged him to come follow her. Once he moved forward Kelly glanced behind herself to ensure that she wouldn't walk into anyone or anything. His thumbs hooked in the belt loops of her white jeans and he yanked her body closer to himself.

As he did this Kelly laid her hands on his shoulders to steady herself before she folded her arms around his neck letting out a gentle breath as her eyes connected with his she felt her heart flutter. Matthew inspected her facial features and grinned as she blinked up at him, she was a magnificent human being on the inside as well as the outside. Not being able to help himself he felt as if his lips were just automatically trained to gravitate towards hers. He closed the cap between them and his lips skimmed against hers ever so gently. The simplicity of the peck of his lips stole the breath from Kelly's lungs her body naturally fell into his and as he removed his lips from hers she wouldn't have it and replied with her own gentle kiss.

Once their lips left one another's Kelly placed her palms against his chest and pushed her body away from his. As she twisted around in his arms her sandals slapped down against the sidewalk as she began to walk ahead of him. She tossed a sly wink over her shoulder at him and nodded forward with her head to see if he was going to follow suit. Just like clock work Matthew materialized by her side a second later his hand rested on the small of her back leading her down the sidewalk.

The city buzzed with life around them as they ducked out the way of a bicyclist, and continued along the street. "Let's check this one out," Matthew pleaded like with a hint of childishness in his voice.

Her eyes took in the display window as she mentally assessed what the gallery probably had to offer. With a shrug of indifference Kelly conceded, "sure baby..if you'd like."

Matthew's face nearly split in two in excitement as he gently nudged her forward. His hand left the small of her back as it curled around the door handle of the gallery as he held the door open for her. After he nodded forward encouraging her to advance into the small gallery Matthew proceeded closely behind her his right hand returning to its home base on the small of her back. They began to walk around the small shop and after he pealed his eyes off of a particularly art piece he browsed her face briefly happy to see it radiating happiness.

It was always such a treat for him to watch Kelly think and then when she caught him staring she would do that whole avoiding his eyes and give him that adorable shy smile. Matthew was baffled by how she seemed to still not be about to see her reaction to the male species. As his eyes followed her he knew it was only a matter of time until she graced him with one of those shy smiles that he had fallen in love with so much. That was all he needed to see his arms snaked around her midsection as he walked forward with her as his lips planted a kiss to her shoulder. "So, what do you think of this piece?"

Hearing his whispered question caused a shiver to roll down her spine, his breath was right on her neck and not helping matters either. Kelly tipped her head back to get a better look at her boyfriend and shrugged a little bit in response to his question. "I'm not sure, what I think of it." She answered honestly before she tilted her head back down and her eyes absorbed the artwork in front of them. "The use of color is amazing, and it's definitely an abstract piece…what do you think of it?"

He nodded along to her analogy of the piece of art displayed before them Matthew rested his chin on her shoulder. "I agree with you the color definitely pulls the viewer in, but it's definitely something I've never seen before."

"Exactly, it's very different I've never seen something like this before." Kelly replied as she moved her hands to the front of herself where she coiled them around Matthew's hands and advanced towards the left. They walked together to another piece pausing in front of it as they admired the photograph in silence. For about fifteen minutes the couple mulled around the gallery exchanging their opinions on particular pieces with one another before they made their exit.

The St. Tropez sun shone down on them as Matthew unwrapped his arms from around her midsection but snagged her hand. He tugged on her hand a little bit causing Kelly to fall into step alongside of him, today couldn't get any better. A smile took over her lips and she leaned against Matthew before she easily moved to her tiptoes and surprised him with one of her famous cheek kisses. After her lips left his cheek they both shared a giggle as he brought her hand up to his own lips and skimmed a kiss to the back of her hand giving it a slight squeeze once he dropped it back down but didn't release it.

"I can't believe you leave tomorrow," she said softly not offering him the opportunity to see her eyes since she knew he would be able to read everything she was feeling.

"Yeah, I know…don't go find anyone else on me," he teased playfully and cranked his head to the side in an attempt to get a good look into her eyes. But instead Kelly turned her head away from him doing everything to avoid meeting his eyes.

Finally, Kelly rotated her neck a few times before she glanced up at him on her own terms and shook her head. "Never," came her whispered reply a small smile fleeting across her lips.

"Okay, lets make a deal…" he paused and walked around to the front of her and reached down clasping her other hand. Kelly lifted her right eyebrow at him as he proposed the concept of a deal, she was slightly confused by what kind of deal he was thinking of. "We make the most of the rest of the day, make everything an adventure, no holding back, deal?"

Brown irises flinted up to meet his green orbs and bit down on her lower lip while she contemplated the deal momentarily, "deal!"

With her agreement to their deal Matthew's eyes danced with mischief as he pressed a kiss to the tip of her nose and released one of her hands while he walked down the away from the little gallery. "Where too?"

"Anywhere," she smirked and bumped her shoulder against his while they trekked(SP?) down the street for another five blocks. However, when K Jacques came into view Kelly squealed softly as she nudge Matthew's arm. "Oh, Matthew we have to go in…they have the best shoes!"

Upon hearing her excited tone he laughed and without even responding to her request with words he led her towards the door. His hand slipped from the comfort of hers as he opened the door for her and ushered her into the store. The smell of leather lingered throughout the store and Kelly inhaled deeply. Her eyes grew wide while she found herself distracted by all the different shoes, her fingers skated across a pair of boots. Not even ten seconds after they entered the shop there was a worker who greeted them and began to practically follow them around. The worker fetched Kelly pairs of shoes she wanted to try on and then offered her a chair to sit and try them on.

Matthew had trailed behind and aimed his camera around but Kelly had barely noticed him she was more preoccupied with the all the shoes. As she began to try them on he explored behind the scenes of the shop videoing for lightt the whole time he loved capturing the moment. He switched his phone off camera mode and snapped a few pictures before he made his way back into the main room where his lovely girl friend was. Kelly had settled on a pair of red peep toe stilettos as well as a pair of high brown boots, and while Matthew was off exploring she had pulled out a pair of K Jacques tennis shoes. She pushed herself up from the chair and urged him to take her place in the chair and try on the tennis shoes she had selected for him.

After he tried on the shoes he smiled widely up at her and nodded his head. "Wow, I love them!"

"I thought you would." Kelly said slyly as she walked to the counter and purchased the high heels, boots, and the pair of tennis shoes that she'd picked out for Matthew's.

A worker behind the counter rung her up and bagged the shoes handing over her bag and Matthew quickly swiped it from her being a gentleman and carrying it for her. As he pushed open the door for her Kelly inhaled the fresh air and glanced around the street. "You shouldn't have done that," he said sternly as she stepped in front of her.

Kelly glanced up at him and shook her head giving his shoulder a gentle shove. "I wanted to. Is it such a crime that I want to shower you with love and affection too?" She said in a light sincere tone as she wrinkled her nose and winked at him as she advanced forward and pulled out her iPhone from her bag. Matthew walked alongside of her and paused handing over his iPhone to a passerby and asking if they could take a photo for them. Unaware of Matthew's plans Kelly continued to scroll through her iPhone he thanked the local for taking the photo then quickly whisked Kelly away.

"Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it"

While they walked down the sidewalk hands laced together Matthew dropped her hand and walked towards a motorcycle. He glanced over at Kelly while he nodded towards the bike trying to encourage her to go along with it. She merely shook her head at him and he laughed. Unbeknownst to him Kelly snapped a photo of him talking to the motorcycle owner on her iPhone. "Matthew leave the poor man alone," Kelly urged as she approached them, skillfully she linked her arm around his addressing the motorcycle owner. "I'm sorry."

The bike owner brushed it off as they bid their goodbyes and headed back down the sidewalk. "You would never approve of that!" His voice broke the brief silence that hung in the air between them and Kelly laughed as she nodded her head in agreement to what he had just said.

"You know me so well," she said softly nudging his shoulder with her own. "Oh, hey…look what I took," once she pulled up the picture that she had just taken of him by the motorcycle she held her iPhone between them so he could examine the photo.

"I do." Matthew said proudly a large smile stretched across his lips, and when she held her iPhone between them he glanced down and took in the sight of the photo. "You have to send me that!"

Upon his request Kelly laughed and rolled her eyes at him, "okay." Her fingers tapped on the screen brining up a picture message screen and attaching the picture of Matthew and then sending it to him. After she hit send she smiled her body pressing against the side of his as she leaned up and pressed a quick kiss to his lips. "Done, baby."

"Mmm, thank you!" He breathed out after his lips lost the brief contact they held with hers. Instead of using the arm that she was wrapped around Matthew dug into his pocket with his opposite hand. Finally he pulled out his desired iPhone that buzzed to notify him of Kelly's picture message, once he opened the message he saved the photo. After the photo was saved onto his phone he slide his thumb across the screen and opened twitter, he attached the photo and then composed a tweet. KellyRutherford you'd never allow it! Matthew gave the tweet one more glance over then with the tap of his thumb he posted the update.

She heard her phone ping alerting her of a twitter notification, she disregarded it and unhooked her arm from around his then clasped onto his hand. Kelly's fingers wiggled in between the spaces of his loving how connected she felt to him by just holding his hand. Walking down the street in St. Tropez with him making stops here and there at the local shops was beyond fun. She honestly couldn't remember the last time she had a connection with someone like this, where just walking down the street together holding hands was magical. It was exciting, but in the back of her mind the simple fact that he would be leaving tomorrow kept taunting her.

They approached a slue of vespa's and Matthew's eyes grew large as he released her hand and hurried towards them. Kelly shook her head as she hung back allowing him this small joy of admiring all the different vespa's. Hell, she had to admit the vespa's did look rather fun, exciting, not that she would admit that to Matthew. At least not now, she stepped forward as he slung his right leg over a red vespa moving it around slightly to get a feel for it.

As he straddled the vespa his eyes got lost in the gears and then he tilted his head up his eyes finding Kelly's instantly. "Just one little ride baby…please," he pleaded giving her a set of puppy dog eyes that she found herself powerless to resist.

She groaned out loud and rolled her eyes, "hmm…well if I do this one little thing for you, what are you going to do for me?" Kelly wagered with a lifted right eyebrow always up for making things interesting with him.

"Oh, I can think of several things that I could do for you, that you wouldn't approve of me saying out loud!"

Just from him alluding to their time spent behind closed doors caused her cheeks to flush, plus those eyes didn't help much either. Kelly bit down hard on her lower lip and tilted her head to the side as she contemplated his offer. "Okay, fine one little ride, and we wear helmets!" She uttered in the most stern voice she could muster as she stepped forward inching closer to the vespa that Matthew had placed himself on.

The moment Kelly conceded Matthew's face lit up like a kid in a candy store and carefully got of the vespa. He scurried to her and kissed her before he grabbed her hand and led her into the small shop where all the vespa's were lined in front of. Together they stepped into the tiny rent-a-vespa type venue without hesitation Matthew dug into his pocket and retrieved his wallet handing over a credit card and his U.S. drivers license. While Matthew talked to the man behind the counter she shook her head at his excitement, but smiled because she was elated to give him this little pang of happiness.

Small talk was exchanged between the man behind the counter and Matthew, that Kelly didn't bother to follow as her fingers fiddled with her iPhone browsing twitter. When she saw that he had posted the picture of him and tagged her in saying she would never approve, she half wanted to respond to it just to tease the fans but opted against it. She heard the chitchat come to a halt and glanced up a smile forming on he lips as she pocketed her iPhone. As he approached Kelly his arms were wound behind his back and he had a mischievous look plastered across his facial features.

Once he was close enough to her, from behind his back he revealed two jet black helmets. Matthew held them up towards her and waved them in the air briefly before he extended one of them to her. "Here you go my darling," he watched her hesitate before slowly grabbing a hold of her helmet.

"Thank you!" Together they walked out of the shop and with the key in hand Matthew hurried over to the red vespa. Kelly shook Matthew was acting just like Hermés acts when he's excited for a new toy, gosh Matthew is such a boy she's realized. She watched him open the small holder on the back of the vespa and stored his boutique bag inside then offered his hand towards Kelly. Her eyes glanced over his proffered hand and when their eyes meet she gave him a small smile and handed over her purse which he placed into the small compartment on the back. Once he finished placing their items in the compartment he secured it then pulled on his helmet and got situated on the vespa. Kelly hung back but then after he started up the vespa Matthew offered her his hand. Taking a deep breath she stepped forward pulling her own helmet over her head and clasped onto his hand.

Matthew held onto her hand the whole time she straddled the back of the vespa the front of her body pressing firmly into his back. He brought their joined hands around his stomach while he silently urged her to hold onto him. Kelly could take a hint and wrapped her other arm around his stomach and locked both her hands together right over his belly button. With a quick glance over his shoulder at her Matthew smiled and then moved both hands to the handlebars and he took off.

Their vespa zoomed down the road and Kelly clung to Matthew as if her life depended on it. She pressed her body flush against his back her chin rested lightly on his shoulder her brown eyes taking in the scenery that they were passing by. It was all so beautiful and even though she might not approve of a motorcycle a vespa was definitely a must when exploring France. Besides it was a rather intimate activity for a couple to engage in, her eyes flinted around them as Matthew veered them down the cobble stone path and lead them onto a main street.

St. Tropez was bustling with life as they zoomed into the mix, Kelly relaxed ever so slightly her arms still tightly holding herself against Matthew. He wove in between traffic which only caused Kelly to tighten her arms around him. A smile captured his lips when he felt her arms grip onto him tighter yet he couldn't imagine what she'd be like on a motorcycle. He had to say that her agreeing to ride the vespa delightfully surprised him. Since a vespa was kind of similar to a motorcycle in the sense that they were both two wheeler vehicles he just as soon figured Kelly wouldn't approve.

From this simple thing that she did for him, with stepping out of her comfort zone maybe just in hopes of making him happy made his heart thud quickly. As he increased his speed the adrenaline coursed through his blood stream and the wind rushed at him relentlessly. Kelly lifted her chin off his shoulder then tipped her head down ever so slightly against his shoulder. After she pushed up the face guard on her helmet Kelly brushed her lips to that shoulder blade where her head was rested and gave his midsection a gentle squeeze.

As he continued to drive them through the city Matthew racked his brain for something he could do to show her how much he appreciated this. He smirked when the prefect repayment came to mind, and as she brushed her lips against his shoulder blade a shiver rolled down his spine. This woman was incredible, on every aspect and level possible, she was unbelievably sexy, goofy, had the biggest heart, and always the kindest of intentions. Kelly believed in the goodness in people and always hoped that everyone would do well.

Kelly's hair blew off her neck but was trapped by the helmet protecting her head so it didn't go far. As Matthew continued to drive them down the road Kelly leaned back away from his body her hands loosened and slid to his hips as she held on tight to him in that way. She tilted her head backwards her eyes admired the cloudy sky and she couldn't help but smile, their day couldn't get any better than this. This was exactly the type of activities she had been referring to earlier when they discussed their plans for the day. Riding a vespa was a first for her which semi-shocked her especially because of her wilder younger years.

When she straightened up her eyes focused in on their changing scenery as she realized that their surroundings had changed and they were now in a more remote area of St. Tropez. They entered a more laid back side of the city and Kelly allowed her nails to scrap into the fabric of pants and leaned even closer to him. Her groin pressed into his ass as she wiggled against the seat of the vespa, in all honesty Kelly found this whole thing rather hot, him in control in this way. Yes, please. She fought the urge to hook her leg around his midsection as Matthew rounded a corner and headed back towards the city. Her arms encircled his waist and she held onto him with a death grip as her eyelids fluttered close and she enjoyed the closeness of their bodies. When he slowed down a little bit Kelly loosened her grip her hands shimmed to his hips. Slowly her right hand skated around to the front of his body her fingertips running across the top of his right thigh until she reached her intended target.

Matthew felt her hand curve around his left knee and gasped at the feeling, she was such a tease if he was being honest he loved that about her. She riled him up to the point of no return on some occasions, riled him up to where he couldn't hold out any longer. He glanced over his shoulder for a brief second to get a look at her profile before Matthew directed his attention back to the road they were on then veered the vespa in and out of traffic. Her fingertips didn't let up at all as she squeezed his knee cap once again her thumb continued to roll over and over his knee in slow circular motions.

Kelly smirked behind her helmet while her fingers on her right hand continued to bounce against his knee cap. At the feeling of Matthew leaning back into her body she couldn't help but grin triumphantly her palm closed over his knee cap as she squeezed it firmly. She slid forward ever so slightly against the leather vespa seat her groin brushed his ass while Kelly rotated her hips she relentlessly pressed her pelvis against his backside.

For a little over a half an hour Matthew wove in and out of cars smoothly taking them back to their starting point. As he drove them closer to the little shop Kelly's hand skidded away from his knee cap her fingertips slowly teased along the inside of his thigh. Matthew gulped as he felt her fingertips brushed along his manhood making him squirm ever so slightly away from her teasing touch.

His speed increased and Kelly quickly abandoned her teasing her arms naturally linked back around Matthew's midsection as she held him tightly. They tilted on the vespa while they turned the corner and made their way back to the front of little shop. Matthew skillfully parked the vespa in an open space by the long line of vespa's that were in front of the shop.

After he parked she untangled herself from around him, and swung her leg around the other side of the vespa stepping back onto the cobble stone. She pulled her helmet off and tossed her hair from side to side shaking it out, her eyes were drawn to Matthew as he tugged his helmet off his head as well. Not being able to help herself she invaded his space, her lips meeting his. Matthew's hands moved from the handles and secured her body so that it was as close as physically possible to his.

He broke his lips away from hers cutting the engine and put down the kickstand. Once the noise was cut Kelly smiled up at him making a silly face before walking over towards the back of the vespa. Matthew caught her intentions, hurriedly he pocketed the keys then opened the back compartment and retrieved his bag and her purse. As he handed over her purse their fingers brushed against one another's spiking a need within both of them. They eyed one another before they headed into the shop to return the keys as well as the helmets.

"Thanks," Matthew said softly as they stepped out of the shop.

She turned towards him a look of slight confusion having captured her features. "Of course darling!"

With her choice of words Matthew laughed shaking his head slinging an arm over her shoulders as he brought her entire body closer to his own. His lips brushed a kiss to her hair while they continued to walk headed in the direction of the harbor. Matthew slipped his iPhone out of his pocket and opened his twitter app creating a new tweet. He posted the picture he had the local take right after their fun at K Jacques and made sure to tag Kelly in it. Her phone pinged notifying her of his new tweet and then Matthew composed yet another new tweet. KellyRutherford can't forget about NY! and made sure to include the picture he'd take at K Jacques of the New York skyline on the toilet seat.

From the sound of another tweet notification Kelly shifted her eyes up to meet his, curious to just what he was posting and tagging her in. However, she didn't bother to release his hand to check it she was enjoying the moment too much to disrupt it. Matthew's fingers continued to bounce across his iPhone screen and Kelly sucked on her lower lip. KellyRutherford put a bird on it….Lol then made sure to attach a picture he had taken at K Jacques as well that was a light that had a metal bird on it.

They walked along the harbor and Matthew spun around so that he was facing her. Kelly smiled as she watched him snake her camera around to the front of his body and aimed it toward the line of yachts that were lining the harbor. After he snapped several photos of the harbor he aimed the camera in her direction and Kelly shook her head at him. She put her hand in front of the lens as she giggled, "what are you doing? Stop it!"

All Matthew could do was laugh at her embarrassed behavior, "You're just so beautiful!" He gushed while he snapped several more photos of her against her wishes.

Kelly shook her head at him as she held her hand in front of his lens once again, "Stop it!" She giggled as she reached towards him for the camera. This action was done carefully since she did not want to damage the camera by any means she just wanted him to stop snapping photos of her. After she successfully retrieved the camera Kelly aimed the lens in his direction. Her smirk stretched across her lips behind the view finder as she clicked the button and captured her own photos of him.

"Okay, no no…" Matthew said suddenly once he was in the spotlight. It made Kelly giggle at him.

She peaked out from behind the view finder, "oh is someone camera shy?" Kelly teased him winking before she snapped another picture of him. She glanced down at the picture displayed and smiled widely proud that she had caught that adorable smirk of his in a picture. Matthew looked at her perplexed to why she had such a wide grin plastered across her face but he didn't have time to ask because Kelly aimed the camera back at him.

"I'm not shy baby…you know that, but enough," he stepped forward and looped his arms easily around her hips as he brought her body to his.

When he grabbed onto her Kelly gasped before letting out a gentle laugh as she tucked some stray strands of blonde hair from her eyes. "Okay," she breathed out breathlessly while her eyes flickered between his lips and his eyes.

"Good!" he answered before his lips assaulted hers.

Matthew smothered her smile with a deep kiss that took Kelly's breath away. Her hand naturally reached up to cup his cheek as she brought his face closer. The pad of her thumb stroked his rough cheek as she returned the kiss with just as much depth not allowing his lips to leave hers yet. Eventually their lips parted in a natural way both unable to last much longer without a breath.

They both attempted to catch their breath after that kiss it was just, woah. Kelly blinked a few times in order to regain her vision it felt fuzzy after the intensity of that kiss. Matthew inhaled deeply his lips skimmed her lips, her nose, and finally planted a loving kiss to her forehead. He moved away from her disconnecting their bodies and walking over to converse with a local, he asked if they could take a few photos for them. The local took several and then returned Matthew's iPhone and he and Kelly browsed the pictures together as Matthew posted one to twitter. Kelly inspected the photo he had chose to post and urged him to post a different one so Matthew simply deleted the previous post, before he did as she asked. The pair admired their surroundings before Matthew's eyes got lost in the sea of yachts. "We should totally try and get on one of those," he said as he nodded towards the yachts.

She glanced over her shoulder at the line of yachts and rolled her eyes letting out a laugh. "What no, Matthew we can't!"

"Oh, sure we can." He encouraged wagging his eyebrows up and down at her, "come on let's go…everything is supposed to be an adventure."

When she heard his comment that everything was supposed to be an adventure she rolled her eyes. "Okay, fine and we, what…pretend we're royalty?" Kelly asked in a playful tone as she shook her head at the thought.

"Yes, exactly!"

"Matthew I'm hardly dressed," she said gesturing down to her current attire.

"So, go hardly dressed!" Matthew encouraged as he wiggled his eyebrows up and down at her suggestively. His eyes ran up and down her frame in that way as if he was undressing her with his eyes. It was so intense, hot, Kelly felt her body react she gasped at his suggestion. "Wait, wait…on second thought, don't go hardly dressed. I don't want everyone seeing what's mine." Matthew back pedaled in an almost possessive tone of voice his eyes glistening mischievously. In the meantime she one of their friends had been passing by and snapped several photo of them.

Kelly stepped forward and punched his arm playfully before her hand skimmed down his forearm and she threaded her fingers between the spaces of his. "Well come on then let's go sneak onto one of those yachts!" They shared a laugh and headed off in the direction of one of the yachts.

He swung their joined hands a little bit, "So who are we going to pretend to be?"

"I don't know, you're too old to be a prince!" She said playfully bumping his shoulder with her own as they continued to walk in sync with one another towards a particular yacht.

"What? Too old? Pfttt" Matthew said unconvinced about the small detail of his age and shook his head. He placed a hand over his heart as he played mock hurt before smirking over at Kelly.

"Oh, baby I didn't mean too old for me, just too old to pretend to be a prince!" She clarified a smile illuminating her entire face as she slowed down her pace. Kelly leaned in closer to Matthew and rested her chin on his right shoulder as she gave his hand a reassuring squeeze.

When she rested her chin on his shoulder Matthew cranked his neck to the side and their noses brushed against one another's. "Well I'm glad to hear it!" Kelly giggled and her eyes darted between his soft pale pink lips and his deep green irises. She couldn't help herself and leaned in closer to him closing the gap as she pressed her lips firmly against his. Matthew immediately responded to the kiss, but honestly how could he not, he was so in love with her. Slowly they parted from one another detaching their limbs so that they were each standing on their own wearing matching smiles.

Kelly scrunched her nose up stepping closer to him again not being able to go long without being close to him. Her hands grabbed onto his Kelly leaned in to him brushing a brief kiss to his lips. "We could always just pretend we're more famous then we really are." She suggested with a raised eyebrow tilting her head to the side as she swung their joined hands a little bit waiting for him to give her an answer.

He smirked and nodded his head a little as he rose to his tip-toes and attempted to peak in one of the yacht windows. "It looks like a party is going on!"

"Matthew we are not going to crash looking like this," she gestured between the both of them and their attire.

After he moved back down to his flat feet he glanced down at both of their outfits and smirked, "you're right baby…come on, I have an idea!"

His voice dripped playfulness and it stirred all these intense feelings in the pit of her stomach. Kelly wasn't sure if she should feel frightened by what he had in mind or what but she had to admit this whole sneaking onto a yacht thing was rather intriguing. "Do I even want to know?"

Instead of using words to answer her Matthew released one of her hands and clasped tightly onto her left hand and lead her away from the harbor. They walked in unison back towards all the small boutique shops lined along the street. Once they reached a quant boutique that had both male and female clothing in a wide array, from formal wear to clausal, to pieces that seemed to be a mixer of the two he urged her inside. As he held open the door for her Matthew ushered her inside with his hand and Kelly just looked at him as she passed a quizzical look plastered across her facial features.

"Babe what are we doing in here?" Kelly asked as her eyes took in the vibrant colors and sequence detail that some of the clothing in the women's section of the shop had to offer. She turned towards Matthew prying her eyes from the clothes, he knew it was a weakness of hers. What was he doing though she had already spent enough money today.

A smirk played across his lips as he bypassed answering her question. Matthew brushed past her his eyes becoming drawn to a vibrant red lace dress that appeared to be a perfect option for their little adventure. He retrieved the dress off the rack checking the tag knowing it was just her size and grinned as their eyes locked. "Here go try this on," he urged extending his hand that was holding the dress out to Kelly who glanced down at the proffered dress and his green eyes. Her teeth scrapped against her bottom lip, drawing his eyes to her lips distracting him momentarily as she pondered his directions.

When her chocolate orbs flickered up to meet his pools of green her teeth released her lower lip her hand wrapping around the hanger of the dress. "Okay, fine…" after she took the dress she walked over to the opposite side of the shop and grabbed him a pair of polished dress pants and a dark blue dress shirt. With the dress pants and shirt cradled in her arms Kelly handed them over to Matthew smirking slightly, "only if you try on these."

"Done…now I do believe we need a dressing room!"

"I believe we do."

Being the gentlemen he was most of the time, Matthew went over to one of the employees of the shop and kindly asked if he could get a dressing room for them. Kelly smirked as he came back with an employee in tow who graciously showed them to a large dressing room. Matthew waves Kelly toward the dressing room and as she brushed past him she snagged his wrist with her free hand and pulled him into the dressing room with her. "Oh?"

She hung up her selected dress on one of the dressing room hooks then pulled the curtain back shielding them from the outside world. Kelly spun around and pushed Matthew back against the back wall of the dressing room. Her hips grinded against his in a teasing fashion as she brushed her lips against his neck whispering, "I've been wanting to do this all day."

"Oh really? What…get me alone in a dressing room?" He said in a husky voice with a hint of a teasing inflection. Matthew slowly dropped his dress clothes to the dressing room floor and his fingers curled around her hips.

"Mmm yeah," she said wearing a smirk on her lips as she leaned up on her tiptoes and brushed her lips against Matthew's. They became consumed in a heated union both losing themselves in the moment. Her body pressed fully against his, her tongue slipped between his lips, brushed his teeth before she captured his tongue. Kelly twisted her tongue around his slowly just before unwrapping it. She let her tongue flicker against the roof of his mouth before she retracted her tongue from his mouth. After her lips left his Kelly let out a satisfied breath and smirked as she racked her fingers through his hair briefly. "not here, we have to try these on and then continue our adventure!"

"Damn, you are such a tease." Matthew said licking his lips as his eyes bounced up and down the length of her body.

Kelly wiggled her nose at him making a goofy face, before she offered him a wink and spun away from him. She slowly began to strip her frame of her clothes under Matthew's watchful eyes. Her head tilted down while her hands curled around the hem of her shirt, in one swift motion she lifted it over her body. She tossed the unwanted white shirt to the floor and then her fingers made quick work with the button of her white skinny jeans. After she undid the button of her jeans she pushed them over her hips and glanced over her shoulder as they skidded down her legs before they pooled to her feet.

His jaw dropped as he watched her remove her own clothing he was so transfixed by her movements. Kelly was silky smooth with every flick of her wrist and damn irresistible it literally took all of him not to ravage her right then and there as she stood before him stark in her undergarments. He gulped upon the sight of her as he lazily trailed his eyes away from the beautiful woman glad in her undergarments and flats. After shaking the thoughts of them all horizontal and sweaty from his mind Matthew made quick work of his own clothes not entirely sure why he was trying on his selected outfit but doing it for her nonetheless.

Once she was removed of her previous clothes she took the red dress between her hands. She undid the small buttons on the back of the dress and gingerly stepped into the dress and pulled it onto her slim body. After she had the dress fully on she cleared her throat and glanced over her shoulder at Matthew. He had been transformed into his black dress pants while his dark blue dress shirt was still billowing open.

Each of them was distracted for their own reasons by their counter part, Kelly bit down on her lower lip hard as she eyed his naked chest. All Matthew could do was smile in return to her reaction to him, and he stepped forward as he snaked his arm around her midsection. In a quick motion he brought her body back against his own pressing himself firmly into her backside as he brushed a kiss to her temple. Most of her back was exposed because it had a scoop back and the lowest point dipped down to her panty line. Matthew stepped back ever so slightly his hands shimmed to her hips and he held her in place briefly before he reached down and did the five small buttons that rested directly over her ass.

His eyes wandered down her frame and got distracted by her perfect round ass, his fingers tips slowly brushing against the bare skin of her back. Suddenly he noticed that her bra was obstructing the full artwork that was the dress. Matthew hooked his thumb around the clasp of her bra and made quick work undoing it whispering directly into her ear. "There much better!"

Kelly gasped softly as she felt his fingers slowly unhook her bra and encourage her that without the bra it was much better. Her cheeks blushed at his words as she tucked a lock of hair behind her ear and turned so she could analyze her reflection. The thick tank lace straps were beautifully detailed and Kelly found herself in-love with this dress. She shifted to the side, her brown eyes narrowed as she eyed her own side profile catching the exposure of almost all of her back she sucked on her lower lip. This dress was a bit revealing so she understood why Matthew had chosen it for her, however she had to admit she felt extremely sexy in it. She twisted around to face Matthew standing there as she shrugged her shoulders a little bit. "What do you think?"

In response to her question Matthew growled moving forward quickly as he scooped her into his arms seizing her lips as his own. When he captured her lips Kelly moved to her tip-toes her right hand curling around his neck her fingers slipped into the back of his hair. She returned his kiss with just as much passion her fingers grabbed a hold of some of his hair and tugged back on it slightly their lips finally parting. "I love it! You look, just…wow," those were all the words Matthew could seem to formulate which earned him a bashful grin from Kelly.

As he told her what he thought of the dress she couldn't help but look to her feet for some kind of reprieve from his appreciative eyes. It took him only several seconds before he tipped her chin up so that he could gaze into her eyes. The moment their eyes met Kelly couldn't help but smile softly shaking her head before her eyes shifted down to his open shirt. Stepping forward she gathered both sides of his shirt between her hands and began to do the buttons, "as much as I love seeing you shirtless we should button this up. I don't need any women getting ideas…or men," Kelly winked up at him as her nimble fingers began to work upward on the buttons of his dark blue dress shirt.

Once he was all buttoned up he stepped out of the dressing room and kindly requested that they could wear their selected outfits out of the store. The lady behind the counter nodded and removed his price tags and sensors. Then she moved quickly towards the dressing room where Kelly still was. A knock cracked against the wooden panel that separated the dressing rooms and Kelly peaked around the door, "yeah?" She stepped into the hallway and smiled at the lady from the store as she removed the price tag and sensor from her dress. "Thank you!" Kelly replied slipping back into the dressing room where she completed removed her bra and pulled out her red peep toe stilettos they matched her dress perfectly.

Matthew paid for both of their new outfits and also through in a pair of earrings and clutch for Kelly. After he had squared up with the lady behind the counter Matthew scurried back to the dressing room and knocked. When Kelly didn't reply he was about to open the door but he was too slow. The door crept open and revealed Kelly in the little red lace number, that climbed from her mid-thighs and clung to her curves perfectly. "Whoa," he breathed out as his eyes ranked over the length of her body countless times.

"Yeah?" she questioned as her own eyes shifted down over her appearance, happy that she didn't have any noticeable marks on her collar bone or neck from their tryst in the shower.

"Oh yeah! Can we skip the party and I just take you now?" he said in a husky voice causing desire to uncoil within the depth of her stomach.

"Shhh," Kelly narrowed her eyes as her cheeks flushed from the combination of his words and the reaction they caused to stir within herself.

He smirked triumphantly before he glided back into their dressing room and collected their clothes. The couple left thanked the sales woman and then headed out of the store and hurried towards their hotel. Luckily their hotel was only a block or so from the harbor, the slipped into the hotel and dropped off their other clothes and newly purchased shoes.

"Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes"

It didn't take them long at their hotel, they were in and out and hurried back down towards the harbor. Kelly inhaled deeply as they approached the largest yacht, the one that seemed to have a party going on. "Are we really going to do this?"

"Yes, just be cool baby. You fit the part perfectly!" He uttered to her as the walked up the steps and got onto the yacht. Matthew's hand stroked up and down her arm trying to coax her into relaxing and having a great time.

The feeling of his hand making gentle strokes along her arm caused her to relax a great deal and as soon as they stepped into the yacht they struck up conversations with many different people. It was just like an event at New York, where they could pretend to know what they were talking about, where they could be a fraud and people would just assume that they belonged there. After a while of mind numbing conversation Kelly excused herself to go to the bar, not wanting to drag Matthew away from his riveting conversation.

But as she stalked away from him Kelly felt his eyes on her which made her inner goodness beam, and her blood was set on fire. With a slight nod of her head she gained the bartender's attention and ordered two shots of patron. Once they shots were presented to her Kelly tossed the first one back and let out a breath of the fiery liquor giving herself a minute before she took the second one. Before she made her way back to Matthew she got trapped in conversation and a glass of champagne. She nodded her head politely to the buzzed woman's tangent as her eyes sought out Matthew. Their eyes found each others practically immediately and she smiled coyly in his direction as she offered up a wave diverting her eyes from him momentarily.

He caught onto her game and smirked to himself as he returned to his discussion and lost her eyes. Matthew excused himself and walked over to the bar, he looped his arm around her waist and his groin pressed into her ass firmly making his presence aware. Giving a nod to the bartender Matthew ordered himself a shot of whiskey and continued to push himself against her. "Did you want another drink, beautiful?" His voice was silky smooth and Kelly licked her lips as her body surrendered to him.

"Um, patron please," came out in a soft voice as she dared to sneak a peak at his eyes. Oh, my. His eyes were set a blaze with pure unadulterated desire, lust, appreciation or a mix of the three she wasn't sure.

The bartender offered a smile when he presented the two shots before them. Matthew reached around her with his free hand and lifted his shot glass to Kelly's. Their eyes connected and Kelly gulped just seeing those eyes, she clicked her shot glass against his before they tossed back the shots in unison. The pair placed the shot glasses back onto the bar and Matthew leaned down skimming a kiss to her temple tapping her ass as he whispered to her, "don't be too long."

She gulped the lump that had been forming in her throat and didn't dare to watch him leave. Once he rejoined his group of new friends she felt his eyes on him, and signaled for another drink. Kelly swirled her champagne around in it's flute then tipped it back and finished it off rather quickly.

It was impossible for him not to be drawn to her, Matthew's eyes followed her movements and when someone said something he addressed them loosing her in his sights. But he registered a blur of red lace fleeing from her station at the bar and he panicked until he heard her voice behind him and felt her hand lightly touch his bicep.

"Oh my, what a marvelous tune!" Kelly exclaimed energetically a childish glint in her eyes as she brushed her hand against his bicep and glanced up at him. Quickly she darted her eyes over the people he was conversing with and addressed them, "excuse me, can I steal my fiancée for just a minute?"

At the sound of her calling him her 'fiancée' he couldn't help but grin widely as he nodded his head towards his new found friends. "Excuse me," Matthew said while his arm snaked around her waist and he walked with her away from the people and led her more towards the dance floor. Once they were out of ear shot he leaned down and whispered directly into her ear, "Fiancée?"

Kelly tipped her head back so that her eyes could meet his and she shrugged her shoulders a smirk played across her lips as she saw his semi-surprised reaction. "Just playing the part my love…now come on dance with me!" Her body twisted towards him as her hips brushed his lightly and her arms looped around his neck. Together they began to sway slowly in time to the song. The lights strung all around the windows of the yacht twinkled around them setting the mood and causing Kelly to giggle as he pulled her closer to himself.

Who was he to deny her this simple pleasure after her stepping out of her comfort zone today. When she got on that vespa earlier she placed all her trust in his hands. He clasped onto her hand and twirled her on the dance floor completely unaffected by the eyes that were focused very closely on them. No one at the party knew who they were but they just continued to play it off and mingled around as they pretended that they belonged there. As the song drew to a close Kelly pulled him closer to herself and her eyes darted around making sure no one would notice if they disappeared. She tugged him off the dance floor by his shirt then let go of his shirt and clasped onto his hand leading him off the yacht. "I've had enough of this. Lets get out of here?" Kelly pleaded in a hopeful tone her eyes dancing mischievously.

"I agree!" His eyes still carried that same intensity from before and it caused Kelly's knees to go weak she couldn't believe he made her feel like this, she felt like such a child.

As they began to walk along the harbor the sun was just setting and they paused to admire the vibrant colors. It was the perfect setting, Matthew couldn't help himself and covered her lips with his. Kelly pressed her body fully into his her fingers teasing the collar of his shirt undoing a few of the top buttons of his dress shirt. Her lips returned his kisses with just as much fervor and her feet approached him, invading his space. Their bodies connected and as she applied pressure against his body he moved backwards his hands holding fast to her hips. The pair didn't break apart until Matthew's back hit a stone building wall. "Matthew, take me now… I can't wait," she breathed out as their lips broke apart and her eyelids slowly fluttered open.

When their eyes meet he realized in that moment that neither of them could wait until they got back to the hotel. "Are you sure you want that in public?" He questioned her as he noted that she seemed to be a bit tipsy.

"Yes, now come…before I change my mind," she urged as her eyes flinted to the alleyway that was semi-closed off and adjacent to the stone wall that Matthew was leaning against. Kelly's peep-toe high heels clicked against the pavement as she inched towards the darkened alleyway and arched eyebrow tempting him to follow her into the darkness.

Truth be told he'd follow her anywhere, though so temptation out weighed everything else and Matthew smirked shaking his head this woman was truly everything he could ever dream to find. The moment he entered the alleyway Kelly took control, she pulled his body against hers and her hand gripped onto the top of his open dress shirt which brought his face to hers. Their lips meet in an urgent exchange and Matthew skated his palms down Kelly's thighs teasing her thigh where the lace of her dress ended. He wedged his left hand between her legs and parted them so his hand could squeeze between them. His fingers stroked over her panties feeling the dampness that was already there and smirked to himself. "Damn baby," his lips skimmed her neck as he slid her panties over to the side so he could stroke her without any obstruction.

"Ah," Kelly breathed out tipped her head back and moving her hands to his belt buckle. Her long fingers undid the buckle of his belt moving to the zipper as she tugged it down with a air of a desperate woman. She squinted in the dimly lit alley and grinned as he grew before her eyes Kelly gasped him through his boxers her hand rubbed over him.

Matthew eyed Kelly letting out a deep breath as he hoisted her dress up to her hips and hooked his thumbs into either side of her panties shoving them to her ankles. "Are you gonna be quiet?" He questioned with a lifted eyebrow not making any attempt to touch her until she answered his question.

"Well, if I'm not…you'll just have shut me up now won't you?" Kelly said seductively her eyes tempting him as she tilted her head in anticipation to his response.

"Oh, you're bad."

"In a good way I'd hope," she winked at him as she slipped her hand inside of his boxers, his tip poked the middle of her palm and Kelly smirked. Her fingers wrapped around his length as she rolled her hand up and down him spurring his arousal.

"Always," that was the final concrete word spoken between the couple as his lips crashed down against Kelly's. He leaned down and his hand cupped the back of her thighs as he lifted her off her feet, their lips never straying from each others. Matthew ravaged her mouth with his own as he held her against the alleyway brick wall. Kelly hooked her right leg around his and her hand pushed his boxers down just enough for him to spring out.

Before she knew it Matthew's fingers sunk into her as he moved them within her in a circular motion. Kelly gasped loudly it was such an exquisite feeling, made it hard to think straight, to do anything really.

"Shh, baby…we're only just beginning" he reminded her that she needed to keep quiet and thrusted his fingers into her deeper. He smirked arrogantly as she withered against the brink alley wall.

Her lips made the perfect O formation as he circled his fingers inside of her, Kelly realized she needed something to distract her from his actions. She leaned off the wall and her hand fondled his balls as her opposite hand curled around hiss shaft as she rolled her hand up and down. Two could play at this game she figured as much, his fingers weren't giving any relief and Kelly wiggled against him.

Several agonizing seconds later Matthew removed his fingers from her completely sucking off her juices as he drew her body into his own. Kelly allowed this type of connection wanting desperately to feel the friction between them. Neither could hold out any longer and Matthew boosted Kelly up higher as he hitched her leg around himself and entered her.

Kelly steadies herself above him briefly and pants with need all the previous angst she had felt this morning long forgotten. As he begins to move in and out of her, Kelly's body bowed in accordance to his quick motion. She relished in the feeling of their bodies conjoined in this way, she just wished it could be like this everyday. Her teeth clamp down on her lower lip in order to not make too much noise but it's proving to be very difficult.

"Ugh, you're mine!" he growled against her ear and caused Kelly to lick her lips.

"Yes, I'm yours…always," she panted out in a hushed whisper not wanting to generate any attention considering the compromising situation they were currently engaged in. As he moved in and out of her Kelly let out a panted breath her eyelids flickered closed as she savored every push and pull, every thrust, and every tug of their hair. "And you're mine," she uttered her eyes darted up to meet his hopeful that the same applied for him.

Matthew proceeded to move in and out of her depths, and as he inched out of her Kelly grabbed his face and their eyes met. their devotion for each other shone through, as Matthew's hands skated to the back her thighs as he pushed her legs apart a little further and hooked her other leg around his body. He held her body to his and their noses brushed, "I'm yours," he whispered directly to her in a husky voice that dripped carnal appraisal.

Those simple words caused her insides to disintegrate and she was powerless to Matthew. Her body leaned fully into his as his nose grazed down against hers inhaling her scent as he slowly moved inside of her starting a ruthless pace. Kelly moaned as her breathing came in spurts matching the rhythm of his thrusts.

"Mmm" she hummed and Matthew pulled out of her entirely his tip brushing up and down her clitoris in a slow tantalizing manner. This action caused Kelly to tip her head back and her eyelids flickered closed, "oh my god, Matthew." She reached forward and her palm grabbed a fistful of his dress shirt undoing a few more buttons.

He plunged back into her powerfully loosing himself in his actions as he ferociously thrusted in and out of her. Kelly nearly yelped at his switched up pace, as he captured her lips with his own in order to keep her silence. She moaned into Matthew's mouth as they became all lips and tongues, twisting around the other's and making the other beg for more. Happy to have the use of both of her hands this time Kelly grasped onto his face as she held his lips to her own. He angled his thrust in such away that with each thrust the build up was becoming more and more unbearable.

Their lips finally broke apart which allowed them both to attempted to catch their breath. "Ugh.." Matthew grunted in ecstasy while he glided in and out of her. He gazed up at her and tucked back some wayward tendrils of blonde hair.

As his thumb stroked along her jaw line while he tucked back some of her hair Kelly moaned nibbling at his lower lip while he pushed into her harder and harder. Her breathing was ragged and Matthew's matched hers as they lost themselves in one another. Their lips embraced and when he parted from her lips he racked his teeth from her lips to her neck. His teeth grazed against her jaw line, to her neck, and finally to her collar bone, that was the final nail in her aroused coffin. Kelly came hard around him as she clenched down around him and his mouth silenced her scream his tongue stroking against hers.

It only took him three more thrusts before he stilled and followed Kelly's lead their lips broke apart and he whispered her name in a breathy tone. "Kelly." From this latest tryst they were both spent and Matthew was lazily kissing her until their breathing semi returned to normal. He slowly eased Kelly off of himself and helped her stand upright on keeping his hands curled around her hips to make sure she maintained her balance.

Naturally Kelly leaned forward and rested her head on his chest as she attempted to regain her composure. Every muscle and bone in her body felt like jello but she surely wasn't complaining that was a beyond amazing sexual experience. Kelly had never done anything of that nature and she felt weak the full weight of all their recent dalliances crushing down on her. Matthew's hands skimmed down her hips gathering the sides of her dress in both of his hands as he straightened her dress out.

Once her dress was back in place Kelly leaned up and buttoned up two of the buttons she had undone. With a hold of his dress shirt still Kelly brought him in closer to herself their lips caressed one another's slowly before they parted from each other. Matthew ran his fingers through his own hair before he stroked back strands of Kelly's hair in an attempt to lessen the look of sex hair. They shared a smirk as Matthew leaned down and pulled his boxers back into place.

When his boxers were back on Kelly eyed him expectantly and Matthew laughed he could take a hint. He bent down taking a hold of her panties as he slid them up her long legs he made sure everything was back in place for her. Happy with the fact that she was presentable Matthew jumped back into his pants in a playfully manner which caused Kelly to giggle. She reached forward and grabbed a hold of his belt loops pulling up his zipper and then doing the button of his jeans before she tugged on his belt doing the belt buckle. Kelly pulled his body closer to her own by his belt and kissed his lips. When their lips parted he smiled and his eyes crinkled at the sides his slight dimples showing which caused her heart to flutter. He reached out and threaded his fingers between hers tugging on her hand gently. Kelly fell instep with him and the two walked hand in hand out of the alleyway towards their hotel, they had a dinner with a few friends to attend in less that an hour.
