Chapter 21: So close

The entrance hall of Matt's apartment was swirling around the passionately kissing couple. The room was spinning equally as hard as their tongues were, struggling to find that perfect moment in which everything else in the world became of secondary importance, struggling to find that perfect moment in which two people were as close as they could possibly be. Heavy breathing defeated the silence that clouded Matt's apartment. Matt kicked his front door shut with his foot while his hands took care of Kelly's attire. She had put on a blanket she found in the back of Matt's car while he was driving his Range Rover, speeding through the streets of New York, wanting to get home so badly, to be close with her. Kelly had managed to make some sort of sarong of the blanket and put it on her and he had to admit, she looked fantastic. He had often though back to a line Rufus once said to Lily: 'No matter what you wear, you look fantastic.' It really was the truth, even more so for Kelly than it was for Lily.

He kicked off his shoes and then untied the blanket from around her body and let it drop to the floor. She was left in her black lacy underwear once again. It had only been half an hour or so since they stood like this on set. Here they were, so close together, the same, yet two different people. He looked her over from head to toe and licked his lips hungrily. Matt backed Kelly against the front door of his apartment. The connection with the cold wood caused goose bumps all over her body. While Matt vigorously attacked her lips, Kelly brought her hands to her back and unhooked her bra. She slipped the delicate piece of clothing off her arms and let it drop to the floor. Matt immediately let his right hand wander to her left breast and squeezed it causing Kelly to moan. He abandoned her lips and trailed down to her left breast; licking it, sucking it. All the while, massaging her other breast, never neglecting any body part of the woman he loved. Kelly 's breathing became more and more ragged. Her hands dug into his dark hair, pulling it, riling him on to continue working his wonderful charm on her body. She realized Matt was still wearing his jeans. His shirt was left on the set with her clothes, still scattered on the floor of Lily's loft. Kelly let her hands slide down over his face, she rested them on his pecks for a brief couple of seconds. She admired his abs as her hands went more downward. Finally, she found the buttons of his jeans. She undid them hurriedly and she could only imagine how good it must feel for Matt to be released from those constricting pants. Matt stepped out of them and he pushed his growing groin against her, pushing Kelly harder against the door and causing the door to thud. Kelly let her fingernails run down his bare back while Matt took care of the soft spot just underneath Kelly's left earlobe. Her fingers went inside his boxer's waistband. Matt quickly took her hands to prevent her from teasing him. 'Not yet', he hissed in her ear, still licking her earlobe. 'Ma-att', Kelly whined, 'I need you… NOW', she paused, 'I want you… NOW'. Matt didn't budge and pressed her – if even possible – further against the door. 'Uh', was all she could muster as he attacked her lips again. His hands slid down her sides and cupped her butt, Kelly arched the lower part of her body away from the door and more into Matt. He was so passionate, so driven to bringing her pleasure, Kelly couldn't keep up with him. She went limp into his touch, not being able to kiss him properly anymore. She just opened her mouth and let her tongue find his. Matt noticed Kelly was going absolutely insane, so he dropped down on his knees. Kelly's eyes opened and her head fell down to see what he was going to do. His hands pulled off her panties, agonizingly slowly. Kelly started trembling as Matt caressed her thighs and calves and eventually rid her from the last piece of clothing covering her body. He steadied her before burying his head in between her legs. Kelly closed her eyes and let her head hit the door as it fell backward when Matt started pleasuring her, there. His tongue found her clit in no time. His hands were still around her thighs, keeping her in place, so she had no chance of escaping from underneath his touch. 'Ma-att', again she whined in a whisper. 'I'm losing it here', she admitted. He smirked while he continued flicking his tongue over her clit. He started sucking it and Kelly made an attempt to drop down to the floor with him but he just wouldn't allow it. She put her hands on his shoulders for some kind of leverage when he started sucking her clitoris. She began to pant heavily, but Matt had no intention of stopping. He loosened his grip a little on her thighs and brought two fingers inside of her. She gasped. And her breath got caught in her throat when Matt bit her and then started a slow but steady pace with his fingers. 'Aaaaah', she screamed. 'Matt, I…', she gasped, 'I can't hold out'. 'Then let go babe', he said in between his delicate tongue movements. 'No, I… want … you… to… come… with…me', she panted stressed out. Matt released her, he removed his hands from inside of her, his mouth abandoned her most intimate area and he just sat there on his knees, in front of her, awaiting her next move.

Her hands were still resting on his shoulders when she sank down onto her knees, so she was face to face with him. She kissed him, tenderly, her eyes still open so she could see him. 'I want us to take it slow', she said, 'together', while piercing her eyes into his. She let her hands disappear inside his boxers and started stroking him, one hand around his shaft, the other playing with his scrotum. She gave him a smile and placed a soft kiss on his forehead while she felt him grow in her touch. She withdrew one hand and grabbed his hand and brought it to her intimate area. He immediately began to discover her wetness again; rubbing her and flicking his fingers against her clit. Not as roughly as before, but in a more gentle way. They kissed slowly but passionately while playing with each other. Their eyes never leaving each other's. 'Do you want to take this to the bedroom?' Matt asked her. She released his ever-growing shaft and looked at him. She slowly pushed him back onto the floor and she gradually let herself fall down with him, slowly since Matt was still stroking her walls. She hovered above him and leaned down to capture his lips in one of the most romantic kisses they had ever shared. She grabbed his wrist and gestured for him to stop what he was doing to her. Matt withdrew his fingers and brought both of his hands to her hips. Kelly slid down on him, no guidance needed, they could find and make each other whole even in complete darkness. Kelly placed her hands on Matt's chest as she slid down on him even farther. Her head fell backwards as soon as he filled her up to the hilt. Both of them were enjoying the feeling of utter completion, neither of them moving. Kelly enjoying the feeling of Matt filling her completely; Matt thriving on the fact that the woman he loved was enclosing him. He caressed Kelly's arms and took her hands from off his chest and let their fingers intertwine. He sat up with her and it was Kelly who started to rock her hips forward softly. Matt caressed her while he watched her every move. Her flushed complexion, her hair that hung loosely round her head, beads of sweat starting to form on her chest and he thought to himself she had never looked more beautiful than in that instant. He grabbed her head on both sides and pulled it towards his lips. Kelly opened her mouth and let Matt play with her tongue while she kept moving her hips, faster with every move she made. The hair around Matt's private parts stimulating her release fast. 'I'm so close', she whispered into his mouth. 'Let go', he whispered while he took her upper lip in between his teeth and nibbled it. Kelly started to move faster, bringing her entire body even closer to his, hugging him as she stroked against him. Matt grabbed her hair and looked straight into her eyes and watched how she rocked forward quickly now, her mouth forming an O. Her eyes pierced into his as she climaxed, Matt coming with her at the exact same time. 'I love you', he whispered, trying to catch his breath. Kelly was still dealing with the millions of tingly sensations shooting through her body. She couldn't respond and so she just hugged him tightly, a silent I love you was all she could exclaim.

They kept sitting like this for some time, until Matt had shrunken out of her. Both had been able to retrieve their normal breathing. Kelly's head was buried on Matt's shoulder and her hands were softly rubbing his back. Matt sat on his knees and got up with Kelly still in his arms. That's when he noticed the mirror, standing in the corner of his entrance hall. He couldn't help but smirk as he hugged her close and she clung to him like a little child; he carried her to his bedroom and laid her down on his bed. He placed a kiss on her cheek and turned to leave. 'Where are you going?' she asked him in the softest of voices. It took him less than a second to be right by her side again 'I'm going to start on dinner' he exclaimed. She nodded shortly and lifted her head a little to plant a soft kiss on his lips. He kissed her back before he left for the kitchen.

15 minutes later…

In the kitchen, Matt was busy with his pots and pans and didn't notice Kelly approach him. She grabbed him from behind and planted a kiss on the back of his neck. He jumped underneath her touch and turned around quickly. 'What are you doing here?' he asked, although he was happy to see her. 'I missed you', she admitted blankly. 'I thought for sure you were going to take a nap,' he admitted while putting his spatula on the counter to take her into his arms. 'I thought so too, but, I have to tell you something,' she looked at him with a serious face. Matt started to worry immediately: 'What's wrong?' Kelly started smiling; 'I can't sleep when you're not next to me to hold me'. Matt smiled too and took her lips between his. 'This smells heavenly', she said while looking over his shoulder to the pot simmering on his gas cooker. 'And you look heavenly', he said while letting his fingers slip underneath his shirt she had put on while left alone in his bedroom. Kelly hugged him and placed a kiss on his cheek. 'Is there anything I can do?' she asked. 'Euhm, you could set the table if you don't mind?' Kelly kissed him fully on the lips and then started to set the table for two. Soon, she was finished and she went to his side to just look how he worked his charm in the kitchen. Matt put his finger into the cheese sauce on the stove to taste it. Kelly watched him lick his finger and noticed his approval. 'I hope you washed your hands before you started on dinner' she joked. This caused Matt to grin. 'Nope,' he said before dipping his finger in the sauce again and bringing it to Kelly's mouth to suck it. Kelly gave him the same kind of approving nod indicating the sauce tasted good. 'The pasta just needs to cook for 4 more minutes', Matt pointed out, 'whatever shall we do with our time?' he grinned as he put his arms around her again, feeling the softness of her body.

They kissed. 'Actually', Kelly interrupted. 'Actually, if you don't mind I'd like to check my emails to see if there's any news from my lawyer'. Matt placed a sweet kiss onto her mouth, 'Sure, my laptop is in the living room. Go ahead.' She thanked him by kissing his cheek. 'Any news?' she heard him shout from the kitchen. 'No, nothing yet.' Matt put off the cooker and went to find her in the living room. He snuck up behind the couch and hugged her from behind. He placed a kiss on her cheek and kept hugging her tightly. She turned her head and kissed his cheek before turning her attention to the screen again. Kelly opened her twitter, hundreds of tweets for her again. 'What's that?' Matt asked her, pointing his finger at one particular tweet that held a link to Youtube. 'I don't know', she admitted whilst opening the tweet and then the video. It started playing and both of them looked at the screen intently.

'What can I do for you Lily? Are you interested in one of my fouler pieces to replace your Philips?'

'It's a fanvid of us, of Rufus and Lily', Matt whispered.

'I was so in love with you'.

'Hmmm', Kelly breathed out.

'I don't wanna miss out'.

'You look hot!' she said, smiling and never taking her eyes off the man in the video.

'I'm still in love with you'.

'Not nearly as hot as you', Matt replied causing a blush on Kelly's cheeks.

'Don't even say it, don't even think it.'

'I love this song', Kelly let out.

'I had no idea how much it meant to me until it was gone… '

'Me too', Matt said.

'It was extraordinary'

After that the music started playing a bit louder and it caused goose bumps on Kelly's arms.

'I have tried with all my strength to fight it. It is a curse I do not wish upon my worst enemy, but... I love Rufus'.

Tears were forming in Kelly's eyes now and Matt could feel her shiver underneath his touch. He hugged her closer.

'We're so close to reaching that famous happy ending.'

'I love you, Kelly', Matt whispered in her ear.

'So close… '

Kelly just nodded, not being able to say the words she so meant to him because her tears wouldn't allow her to say anything.

'And still so far'.
