The Elaborate Parent Trap

Chapter Fifteen

The next morning Chris was getting Jade ready for school, still in her jammies as she made tea and a coffee for Matt. Jade entered the kitchen as the door opened to reveal Matt, "You ready Jade?" He asked her.

"Yep! Bye Mommy! I love you!" She said happily as Chris rounded the island to hug her.

"I love you too bug. Have a good day today." Chris smiled.

Chris stood up to see Matt smirking at her and she shook her head. Jade ran out the door and Matt stepped in kissing Chris's cheek before heading out to run the kids to school. Chris wandered down to the washroom before grabbing her mug of tea and the coffee she made for him and wandering into the living room. She grabbed her favourite red and black plaid blanket and tucked herself in on the couch before turning the T.V on and to Netflix. She got into the movie she put on she didn't even hear Matt return until there was a hand over her eyes, and she screamed.

"Fuck! That was mean!" She yelled, pouting at the laughing man.

"I'm sorry little one." Matt smiled.

Chris huffed and looked away from him, but he rounded her and knelt beside where she sat on the couch. He grabbed her face and turned her to look at him. Matt smiled at her and she tried so hard to stay stone-faced but even she couldn't stop the smile. She pushed her glasses up her nose and debated on making the move to kiss him, but before she could he crashed his lips to hers. Chris smiled against his lips but wrapped her arms around him.

Their kiss ended too soon for Chris's liking, but Matt lifted her feet, setting them in his lap as he grabbed the coffee, she made him. "What are we watching?" He asked.

"A documentary on Ted Bundy." Chris shrugged.

Matt nodded and they slipped into a comfortable silence. Matt finished his coffee and set his mug on the coffee table, before grasping her foot and rubbing small circles into her arch. Chris hummed and laid-back smiling. "Watching you with River yesterday..." Matt began breaking the silence. "It was amazing... You're so good with him and split your attention between them so well..." Matt explained. "Seeing you with him yesterday it did something for me Chris and I don't know how I feel about it." Matt finished.

"Well, do you wanna explain it to me?" Chris asked him softly, sitting up to look at him.

"It made me realize that if we were to make this official or anything, you would be willing to accept River and be able to treat him like your own. That makes me so happy and it makes you even more attractive to me." Matt sighed. "That scares me. I haven't been in a serious relationship in eight years. Riv's mom and I split before he was born. Then you came along, and I can't get enough..." Matt said, his hazel eyes meeting hers.

"I feel the same way... The fact that you got Jadelyn onto a bike, let alone she let you teach her how to ride it is just a miracle itself. Seeing how much she adores you and how you treat her. I get it, and yeah it is scary." Chris agreed sighing.

"I don't want to move this too fast for the kids, but I feel like we are anyways." Matt admitted.

"Well... Why don't we ask them where they stand on the whole thing? See if they think this is going too fast?" Chris suggested.

Matt nodded and the two slipped back into silence. She turned her attention back to the T.V and laid down, laying her legs in Matt's lap. It was only about five minutes later she felt a warm calloused hand on her bare thigh. She spared a glance to see Matt was focused on the T.V so she let it go, finding comfort under his touch. She finally moved and curled up against Matt, pulling her blanket over them.

The next thing Chris knew she was waking up curled up against Matt tightly, she smiled seeing him sleeping peacefully, but she had to pee. She carefully detangled herself from his grip and made her way quietly down to the washroom. Her shorts had ridden up, so she adjusted them carefully and placed the strap of her camisole back on her shoulder after she did her business.

She washed her hands and made her way out to the kitchen deciding to make them tea and coffee again. She bent over to throw her hair into a bun, before reaching up into the cupboards for a teabag and coffee. As she was reaching up, she heard a grunt behind her, before suddenly she was trapped against the counter. Two large arms were on either side of her and she recognized Matt's tattoos. Chris let herself breathe as Matt leaned in next to her face, pressing his lips to her temple. His front pressed against her backside and she could feel how big he was against her ass. Chris gulped and she could feel his breath against her ear. Instinctively she pushed herself back into him, wiggling her hips slowly against him.

Matt growled in her ear, bucking his hips into her to pin her hips to the counter. His lips came in contact with her jaw and up her ear, he swayed his hips against hers, feeling her ass move against him. A breathy moan slipped past her lips, which had Matt's eyes fluttering closed as he nipped at her ear lobe.

Chris's phone ringing brought their intimate moment to a grinding halt. Chris coughed and ducked under his arm moving toward the living room, leaving Matt to sigh in frustration. He could hear her on the phone, and gathered it was Echo calling when she answered calling her 'Gecko'. "Are you sure? I mean I can ask Matt." Chris replied as Matt entered the room. "Would you be okay if Echo picks up the kids and keeps them tonight? She wants to take them to the movies, then have a game night with them." Chris asked him.

"Yeah, I can call the school so she can get River." Matt shrugged.

"Okay, yeah. Matt says it's okay with him." Chris replied to her. "Yeah, alright. Well make sure Jade calls after the movie, I wanna say goodnight. Yeah. Alright. Bye." Chris hung up the call and set her phone down. "I guess we're kid-free tonight." Chris shrugged, making her way meekly past him and back into the kitchen to continue making tea and coffee.

Matt could still feel the sexual tension between them, and the way Chris's skin was still flushed pink, her breaths still short made it obvious to him, she was still incredibly turned on. He didn't want to push her too far though. "I guess I can head home then. Get some shit done there." Matt shrugged and he watched her shoulders slump. "Or I can stay with you... If you're okay with it?" Matt asked moving closer to her again.

Chris's breath caught the moment his hands touched her waist, but she let him turn her around, pressing her back against the counter. Chris looked up at him doe-eyed, and Matt reached one hand up to cradle her cheek in his hand. She leaned into his touch and her eyes closed. "Do you want me to stay?" Matt asked her softly.

Chris gulped and nodded before stepping into his chest, placing her palms on his pecks. "Kiss me please?" She asked softly.

Matt nodded and brought her face to his, connecting their lips feeling that electric rush run through his body he pressed their bodies closer together. "We need to stop." Matt breathed against her lips. "Or I'm not going to be able to stop," Matt whispered, before devouring her lips again.
