So much for them not having sex. Well, I hope you liked that third chapter. Because now that I've done that chapter, I am going on to writing this fourth chapter. Now, I hope that you guys do also enjoy the shorter chapters, as I believe that's how I am going to write this story; because it just makes me get chapters out much quicker, which is what I want to do for you guys. So, let's do just that.

Chapter Four
So Much for No Sex

This may not have been the plan for today. For them to be naked in each other's arms, shortly after making love to each other for the first time since Hallie's death; but that didn't mean that Matt and Alex didn't enjoy it, as they most certainly did enjoy the feeling of being naked in each other's arms. It was definitely close to the top of the list of things that the couple love to do with each other. But the most important thing that they love doing with each other, is just being with each other as they hold each other close. Whether that be here in bed, or elsewhere. All that matters, is that they're here with each other right now; yet that didn't mean that Alex wasn't going to make a joke about it. "So much for us not having sex today." Matt agreed with Alex as he wrapped his arm around her, before moving his hand to the back of her neck. Leaning his forehead against hers, Matt smiled as he was happy to have her in his bed.

To have her here, in his arms as they hold each other close as this is precisely what he wants to do right now. He wants to hold the woman he loves close to him, as they just take it easy and relax for a while. Because that's precisely what he's in the midst of doing right now, hold Alex close to him as they cuddle up to each other here in their bed, because that's what this is now. This bed that they're laying down in right now, is their bed. "I think that we both knew that we would always have sex at some point today." Alex nodded, smiling as she wrapped her arms around his muscular torso, which is the best way to cuddle up to her man. Meanwhile, Matt put his hand on her arm and stroked it with her thumb as he proceeded to kiss her forehead softly, which then led to Alex cuddling up to her boyfriend even more as she ran her hand down his muscular chest. Because yes, her CEO boyfriend is a very muscular man.

And while she didn't fall in love with him because of how muscular he is (she fell in love with him because of how big his heart is), that didn't mean that she didn't love the feeling of him wrapping his strong arm around her back whenever he gets a chance to do so. So, she decided to take advantage of this feeling and proceeded to slip her legs in between his; that way they can just stay close to each other right now, as there's nowhere else she'd rather be right now. She wants to be in his arms, as they cuddle up to each other and take it easy here in their bed; he then pressed his lips against her forehead as they took some breaths at the moment. "So, uhm…I wanted to try and talk to you as well." Matt agreed with Alex as she said that, well aware that was the case. "I just, want to know how you are. I mean, I haven't spoken to you since it happened; and I just…" Alex sighed as she looked down and took a breath.

She then went to tell Matt what she was trying to say. "I want to know how things have been since her death." Matt agreed with Alex as she said that, before wrapping his arm around her back nice and tight; after which, he proceeded to kiss her forehead softly. "Before you were here, things weren't as good due to the fact that I felt so vulnerable; I felt like there was nobody I could talk to. But you, I feel like I can talk to you about anything." Alex smiled as she heard Matt say that, as that was something that she loved the sound of; she loves the fact that he feels like he can open up to her whenever he needs to. And she decided to show him that by leaning in to kiss him softly, while Matt ran his hand up and down her back while they both took things nice and slow with each other. He then proceeded to run his hand down her naked body, which is something that he loves the feeling of. Her naked body under his hand.

"I love this feeling, the feeling of your gorgeous body under my hand."

Alex laughed as she heard Matt say that, before putting her hands on his face; she then leaned in and proceeded to kiss the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. "And I love the feeling of your hand on my back." Matt agreed with Alex as she said that, while getting close to the woman he loves. He then leaned in and proceeded to kiss the woman he's crazy for. However, the kiss didn't last for long due to the fact that Alex soon pulled away, rolled over and went to get up. "Hey, where are you going?" Turning her head, Alex smiled. "I need to get dressed." Wrapping his arm around Alex's waist, Matt tugged her back into bed. "Nope, you aren't going anywhere. You're coming back to bed and you're going to lay down with me right now." Laughing, Alex got back into bed with the man she loves. She then got close to her handsome boyfriend, who soon tugged the covers up on top of each other as they cuddle.

As they cuddled up to each other here in their bed, where they are going to spend a lot of time together over the next couple days; probably having sex with each other. "Okay. I know that this is going to sound bad, but I am so happy right now." Alex was confused as she heard Matt say that. "Why does it sound bad?" Matt sighed. "Because it feels wrong, while it also feels right." Alex just looked at Matt. "I mean, it's only been a month." Alex agreed with Matt as he said that, before grabbing his hand and holding him close. "Baby, are you okay to stay here in bed? If you want, we can go take a walk." Taking a breath, Matt thought about it before nodding as he thought that might be a good idea; for them to take a walk. "I just don't want you to feel like I regret that, because I don't. Us having fun like that was everything that I wanted." Alex agreed with Matt, smiling as she put her hand on his face before kissing him.

After which, she leaned her forehead against his. "Matt, I know that you have a lot on your mind. And I'm here for whatever you need, including sex. If you need sex, then we'll have sex with each other. And if you need me to hold you, then I'll hold you. If you need me to kiss you, then I'll kiss you passionately. Matt, I'm here because I love you more than anything in the entire world; and I want what's best for you." Matt agreed with Alex as she said that, wrapping his arm around her before leaning in and kissing her again. "Listen, do you mind if we get dressed? As much as I love you…" Alex agreed with her boyfriend as he asked her whether they can get dressed, as they most certainly can. "Wait, dressed like in clothes; or do you just want to put your boxers on?" Matt smiled. "I think that I can wear boxers, just as long as you promise me that we don't go for another round." Alex agreed with Matt, as she can do that. "I can do that."

Matt smiled as he heard Alex say that, before leaning in and kissing the woman he loves. "Listen, if you want to talk to me about how you've been since it happened; then I want you to talk to me. I want to hear what happened baby, and everything that happened since. I know you baby; you're probably blaming yourself for some of those events; and I can help you out and make sure that you get things straight." Matt agreed with Alex as she said that, as that was something that they could definitely do. "I want you in the shower first, then in Love & Passion Lingerie." Love & Passion being the company owned by Matt's company, which manufactures the lingerie as well some lingerie…and which Alex has an exclusive modelling contract with, as she's a model for Casey Intimates and Swimwear. A job that led her to meeting the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. "I don't want to go anywhere." Alex agreed.

After all, she can understand why that's the case, because he's not ready to go public with their relationship. "I understand Matt, it's still too soon for us to go public." Matt was shocked as he heard Alex say that, before getting closer to her and putting his hand on her hip. "Hey, don't even say that. That's not what I was thinking baby. It's just due to the fact that I haven't been sleeping the best and I've been tired." Alex then realized that. "Oh…" Matt agreed with Alex as she said that. "Babe, how about we take a shower? Then, we can take it easy and relax. We can sit together, and we can talk." Smiling at Matt, Alex leaned in to steal a kiss as that sounded like a great idea. For them to take a shower, before they sit in bed with each other so that they can talk and catch up. She then turned around and got up so that she could walk away to go take a shower. "Can you get me a towel babe? I'll go start the shower."

Just watching as his girlfriend walked away in the nude, Matt was shocked. "EXCUSE ME!" Turning around, Alex stuck her tongue out at her man as a way to tease him. "Oh, you're so dead!" Alex laughed as she heard Matt say that, before walking into the shower (there's a direct access to it from their bedroom) so that she could get it all ready for her and Matt.

Walking over to his and Alex's shower with a towel around his waist, Matt smirked as he walked up to the door of the shower where his beautiful girlfriend was currently standing under the shower head while letting the water run down her body. And damn was that sexy, and oh boy was she going to pay for making him look at that as he walked up to the shower; that was something that he was certain about as he shook his head this morning. However, it wasn't long before he made his way into the shower and set Alex's towel down on the bench that they have in here; after which, he took off his towel and proceeded to do the same quietly. After all, Matt was going to be doing something to get revenge. And that was precisely what he was in the midst of doing, as he walked over to his beautiful girlfriend here in the shower; placing his hands on her hips afterwards, Matt smirked as he tugged her body back.

Back against his muscular chest, which she loves to cuddle up to her; he then wrapped his arms around her and smirked as he whispered in her ear. "Now, that was sexy Ms. Casey." Turning around in Matt's arms the moment she heard him say that, Alex just looked up at her boyfriend. "Do you have any idea what you just said?" Matt soon realized what she was talking about, before stepping close to her and moving his hand to the side of her face. He then kissed her and just smiled due to the fact that he loved calling her Ms. Casey. "OK. Well, that was something that I didn't expect to happen." Alex agreed with Matt as he said that, before feeling him wrap his arms around her; while at the same time, she placed her hands on his biceps and then stepped close to him while he wrapped his arms around her waist. Leaning in, Matt smiled as he kissed her softly. "I love the sound of that though."

Alex smiled as she looked down. "I love the sound of it too, but it's too fast baby. I mean, you're grieving. Who knows if this is just the grief talking, or if it's…." Interrupting Alex, Matt moved his hand to the back of her head before crashing his lips into hers. "Never say anything like that again. Because that most certainly is not what I'm doing. This isn't grief talking, this is love." Alex smiled as she heard Matt say that, while also moving her hand to the back of his head as they took things nice and slow with each other here in the shower; a shower that is very sexy. "No more sex, okay? I'm really concerned about you babe. I mean, you're still grieving for Hallie." Matt agreed with Alex as she said that, well aware that was the case, which is why he's more than okay with them just taking it easy in bed as he wears his boxers. "If you want me to wear my boxers, then I'm more than okay to do that and keep them on." Alex agreed.

After all, that was precisely what she was thinking; that he could keep his boxers on, and make sure that they stayed on. She doesn't want to have sex with him too much while he's grieving. "Baby, I know that sex makes you feel better; but it's just in the moment. My job here is to really make you feel better." Matt agreed with Alex as she said that, well aware that was the case. "And that's precisely what we're going to do here. You're going to help me feel better, I promise baby." Alex agreed with Matt as he told her that, before grabbing the back of his head once more; she then placed her hand on his muscular chest as they both took things nice and slow with each other here in the shower, which is precisely what they both want to do at the moment. They both want to hold each other close, as they take things nice and slow with each other; something that is definitely making Matt feel better as they held each other.

She was currently struggling when it came to doing up her lingerie, here as she stood in the bathroom; lingerie that was going to stay on if she had anything to say about it. And the truth was, Matt also felt that way as he doesn't want to have sex with her too much; not when he still has Hallie on his mind. But that doesn't mean that he doesn't want to run his hands all over her body when she's wearing lingerie, because that most certainly is something that he wants to do. "You need some help?" Looking up at Matt as he walked in wearing his boxers and a t-shirt, Alex smiled as that was something that she definitely wanted. Help. "Yes." Matt agreed with Alex as he walked up to her, before going to grab the lingerie that she was wearing; but before he did it up, he went to check something. "Seriously? Are you really double checking that I'm wearing lingerie by L&P Intimates and Swimwear?" Matt snickered.

As that was exactly what he was doing, making sure that the lingerie that his girlfriend was wearing was made by L&P Intimates and Swimwear; the lingerie line that he owns. "Oh, I most certainly am. Because if you're with me, then you need to represent." Alex smiled as she heard Matt say that, while also feeling him do up her entire lingerie; after which she turned around when he was done and wrapped her arm around his neck (prompting Matt to step close to her and put his hands on her hips). After which, he bent down and proceeded to kiss her softly. "You want one of my shirts?" Alex smiled as Matt asked her whether she wanted one of his shirts, as that's something that she would definitely like; but not yet. Right now, she wants to cuddle up to him in bed as they just hold each other close. And she also wants to talk to him about how he's doing after loosing Hallie. "I want to talk." Matt agreed with Alex.

After all, that was something that they both need to do. "About how I am?" Alex sighed as she grabbed both of Matt's hand and intertwined their fingers. "Matt, I love you; and part of loving someone makes that you make sure that they're okay after the death of someone they love." Letting go of one of Alex's hands, Matt smiled as he moved his hand to the side of her face and then leaned in to kiss her softly. "Listen, do you need or want anything to eat?" Alex smiled. "I would love something to eat made for me by one Chef Casey." Matt smiled as he heard Alex say that, while wrapping his arms around her and just holding her close; he then pressed his lips against her forehead as they both held each other close. After which, he teared up a bit. "Hey, you're crying baby. What's wrong?" Matt sighed. "I just have a lot of mixed emotions right now. Being so happy, yet also grieving." Alex agreed with Matt, understanding.

"I understand, and would understand of you want to slow down Matt."

Matt shook his head, as that was the last thing that he wanted; to slow down in their relationship. He wants to be with her, especially after the two of them hid their feelings for each other for so long. "We've already held back enough. I want to be with you Alex, I just hope you're okay with it being in secret for right now." Stepping close to Matt, Alex put her hands on his chest as she cuddled up to him; while he wrapped his arms around her and pressed his lips to her forehead. "Baby, of course I'm okay with it. I mean, as long as I can still go to the beach with you. I remember when you were at my beach shoots surfing while I was modelling bikinis." Matt laughed as he heard Alex say that, well aware that was the case. He then proceeded to lean in and kiss the woman he loves. "I love you." Alex agreed with Matt. "I love you too. But how about you go lay down in bed, and I can go make a snack?" Matt agreed with Alex.

"Or I can come with you to put the dogs out."

Alex agreed with Matt as he said that, before getting close to him and leaning in to kiss him once more. After which, he led him away so that they could go downstairs. "You might as well help me make something to eat then." Matt agreed with Alex as she said that. "C'mon Jasper and Logan." Jasper and Logan then both got up off of their beds so that they could go downstairs (and to the washroom) with Alex and Matt.
