Chapter Four
Pool Time at the Garden of the Gods


She knew she had it somewhere, somewhere in her old room; her pool bag that she can bring to the pool so that they would have everything that they need while they're out there together. As they take their first swim as husband and wife; hell, as a couple in general. And the truth was, that still was something she's yet to believe that she can even say. But it is something that she can say due to the fact that she's married to her handsome husband. A husband who just realized that he should probably come see if his wife needs help, while also sharing something with her as he saw her take a glance at her wedding ring again (just to make sure that this is real). "I hope you know that isn't your permanent wedding ring." Turning to face her husband as he told her that, Gabby was confused as she didn't understand what he was talking about. "What are you talking about?" Smirking, Matt made his way over to his wife this morning before placing his hands on her hips; bringing her body against his, he soon bent down and kissed his beautiful wife softly.

After which, he wrapped his arms around her and explained what he meant. "My wife is not going to be wearing a $100 wedding ring. She's going to get something real with a nice diamond in it." Gabby snickered as she heard Matt say that. "Well then, I think that's something I can agree on; just don't be too shocked if I pawn it to pay off my student loans." Feeling Gabby wrap her arms around his torso, Matt smiled as he moved his hand to her neck and then leaned in to kiss his wife softly. "I can do that for you, I promise." Gabby was shocked. "What? No. It's…" Stepping close to his wife again, Matt smiled as he kissed his beautiful wife softly; especially since he wasn't taking no for an answer. "You're my wife. I'm going to give you the world, especially since I just have this feeling that this isn't just temporary. I'm going to make sure that you have everything you need in life, including financial stability, which is what I can give you as your husband." Gabby agreed with Matt, as that most certainly is the truth. He can provide her with financial stability.

And that was nice, especially since she's never had that in her entire life. "I like the sound of that, especially since I've never had that in my entire life." Matt agreed with Gabby. "I promise Gabby, we're going to figure this out. And I know this sounds transactional at the moment, but I don't want you to worry about anything. I take care of my family, and that's what you are now. What Antonio is now. You're my wife, he's my brother-in-law. Family means the world to me, and I can't wait to meet my new father since I haven't had one since I was a kid." Gabby took a breath. "Yeah, I still remember the rumors that went around school." Sighing. "They weren't rumors, that was true." Looking up, Gabby was shocked. "What?" Nodding, Matt let Gabby go before grabbing her hand; he then proceeded to lead her to the bed that she slept in prior to becoming his wife, before sitting down with her. "Here, get close to me." Gabby agreed, doing just that so that she was sitting down next to her husband. After which, she felt him grab her hand.

Holding her hand, Matt soon intertwined their fingers and just smiled as he held it close to him. "Unfortunately, the rumors you heard at school were true. I was abused by my father, and my mom killed him because I was abused as a child. He raped my mom, and he molested me." Gabby was horrified as she heard Matt say that, before getting up and moving into Matt's lap. She then wrapped her arms around his neck as they both held each other close, which is precisely what Matt needs. "Matt, I am so sorry that you had to deal with that as a kid. Believe me when I say this, nobody should ever have to deal with that. That was wrong, and it just makes me know that you are such a strong man." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that. "Thank you. It's actually why I made sure to create Casey Counselling as a subsidiary of the company when I took over, especially Casey Family Safety. That way, I could give people like me and my mom the resources to get better." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, smiling as that was very smart of him.

After which, she looked down into his eyes. "The Mannings run those, right?" The Mannings being Dr. Natalie Manning and her husband Jeffrey Manning, who are the President and Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Casey Counselling, as well as the Senior Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer of Casey PTSD Services respectfully. "Yes, the Mannings are the ones who run those parts of the company. Good memory." Gabby snickered. "Not that it's hard. I am the PA to the sexy Chairman and CEO." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that. "I wonder if he's available, because I would love to go on a date with him sometime." Smirking, Matt placed his hands on Gabby's back and rubbed it. "Unfortunately, I think he just got married to a gorgeous Latina named Gabriela." Gabby agreed with Matt as she placed her hands on his face, before leaning in and starting to take things nice and slow with her husband. And damn is he such a great kisser. "Just curious, are you going to want me to take your name?" Matt agreed.

After all, she is going to be on his arm when they go to events. "Of course, because I want my wife to have my name. I want my wife to share my last name when we go to events as Mr. and Ms. Casey." Gabby smirked. "Does that mean that I get a new e-mail too?" Smirking, Matt agreed with Gabby as he leaned in and kissed her softly. "I think it does. How does gcasey sound?" Gabby smirked as that sounds perfect. "Almost as good as the feeling of our bodies moving against each other's." Matt smirked as he heard Gabby say that, while tugging her body against his chest as he kissed her once more; only to move his lips to her neck shortly afterwards as a way to tease the woman he loves. And damn is that such a turn on. "Matt!" Smirking, Matt sucked on his new wife's neck as a way to tease her. "You like that babe?" Gabby agreed, as she most certainly does love it. "Oh, I love it so much." Matt agreed as he continued to suck on her neck, giving his wife a bit of pre-pool pleasure. "I am going to get you a new ring, let me spoil you my wife."

Gabby agreed as she turned her head and smirked as she bent down and kissed her husband softly. "Yes please." Smiling, Matt just held Gabby close to him as they both took a moment to just be with each other as they held each other in her old room. That was, until Gabby got up off his lap and started to walk away. "Hey, where are you going?" Walking over to her closet, Gabby smirked as she needed to find a bikini wrap. "Need to get a bikini wrap on so that other men don't stare at me, because that might make my husband jealous." Matt snickered, as it probably would make him jealous if he had to watch other men staring at his wife's body. "Well, that body there is really nice to tell you the truth." Gabby smirked. "Oh, calm down and just take it easy, I can already see you thinking about getting me pregnant." Taking a breath, Matt looked at his wife when he realized something. "Wait, do you not want kids?" Turning around, Gabby looked at Matt as she should've expected this to happen. For them to need to have this conversation.

Not that it was going to be long, because that's something that Gabby wants more than anything in the entire world; she wants nothing more than to be a mom. "Ok. Breathe and take it easy, I know that this is something you struggled with in the past; having a partner who doesn't want kids. But I can assure you that isn't the case with me Matt." Walking over to Matt with her bikini wrap in her arms, Gabby walked right up to him on the side of the bed and then cuddled up to him; after which, he wrapped his arms around her and held his wife close. Meanwhile, she put her hands on his face as she stared down into his eyes. "I promise Matt, the last thing you need to worry about is whether I want to have children or not. Because that most certainly is something I want. I want to have children in the future. In fact, it's my one dream in life; to be a mother to my own children." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that, before wrapping his arms around her and holding her close to him, while she put her hands on his cheeks once more.

After which, Gabby bent down and proceeded to kiss the man she loves. "I promise, I want to have kids in the future. And when it happens, it happens. Just don't rush me as I need to get used to this life." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that, well aware that was something that she needed to do. "About that…" Going to grab his wife's hand, Matt tugged on it to get her to sit down, which is precisely what Gabby did as she sat down next to him. "What is it?" Getting close to Gabby, Matt wrapped his arm around her as he stared into her eyes and put his hand on her leg. "If you ever need anything. As your husband, it's my job to help you get used to this new life. And I promise you right now, our marriage will come before work; and someday, so will our family. So, if you ever need anything from me; just talk to me, and I will make sure to give you the love and support you need to get through the problems you have." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, smiling as she has such a great husband. "You're earning me mister."

Smirking as he heard Gabby say that, Matt agreed with his gorgeous wife. "Oh, am I now?" Placing her hand on Matt's cheek, Gabby agreed with him before starting to take things nice and slow with her husband. "I love you." Matt agreed with his wife, smiling as he took things slow with her. "I love you too." Gabby agreed with Matt, kissing him one last time before getting up. She then proceeded to grab her bikini wrap and went to put it on so that they can get to the pool. "You want to help me?" Matt smirked as he got up, before going to do just that; he helped his wife put her wrap on. He then got close to her once more, placing his hand on her neck before kissing the woman he loves softly. "I love you." Gabby agreed with her husband, as she felt the same way. "I love you too." Kissing her husband once more, Gabby smiled as she felt some sparks in between them. Sparks that Matt wanted to act upon, but it was instead time for them to get to the pool, unless they want to do something else. "Pool?" Matt smirked. "Yes, later we can do that."

Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, while feeling him grab her hand and intertwine their fingers to lead her out of their hotel suite and towards the pool; the pool where they're going to have fun with each other as they start their new life as husband and wife.


It felt nice being outside, rather than holed up inside a hotel room together, even if they were still in the hotel for the moment. But it was nice nonetheless, especially since it was something that Gabby's wanted to do for the longest time. Hold Matt's hand in hers as they went out together. And right now, that's precisely what Matt and Gabby are going to do as they rode the elevator down from their hotel suite to the main floor where they were going to make their way outside to the pool. And right now, that was precisely what Gabby was in the midst of looking at, all the pools that they have to choose from. "Damn, there are a lot of pools you can choose from. Which one are you thinking?" Gabby laughed. "Well, the first question that we need to figure out is whether we want to deal with kids or not. Or should I say whether you want me to keep my top on or not." Turning his head, Matt was shocked. "Venus pool is an adult pool where you can be topless." Matt smirked as Gabby said that, as that was where he wanted to be then.

He wants to be at the Venus pool where she can be topless. "Then that's where we're going to be. We're going to the Venus pool so that you can be topless." Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that, well aware that it was something that he wanted. So much so, that she turned around to face her husband before stepping close to him; while Matt wrapped his arms around her and just made sure that they were both happy. "God, you are such a tease babe." Gabby smiled as she put her hands on Matt's arms and stroked them with her thumbs; loving how he just called her babe. "I love how you just called me babe." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before feeling her wrap her arms around his back. She then leaned in and smiled as they started to take things nice and slow with each other even though they are currently in the elevator, and her brother is here with them as security. "You guys do realize that I'm here and did not like the sound of you guys talking about whether you're going to the topless pool." Turning her head, Gabby glared at Toni.

After all, nobody asked him to come. "Where did you come from anyways? I didn't see you in the room." Toni laughed. "I stayed in here for a bit." Matt agreed, before letting Gabby go; he then turned to look at Antonio. "Oh, Antonio. How about you do me a favor and go clean out your room here?" Antonio was confused. "Why?" Matt smirked. "Why pay for a second room, when we have spare bedroom now in my suite. I can save money, and you can keep us safe in our suite." Antonio thought about it. "Would you be okay with that Gabby?" Gabby then looked at Matt. "Are you sure? I mean, what if we…" Matt then realized that. "Oh, right." Gabby smirked as she stepped close to Matt and then kissed him softly. "Silly boy." Matt smirked. "Oh, I'm not a boy. And you should know that after how I treated you last night." Gabby smirked, as that really was a lot of fun. The way they held each other was nice. She especially loved the way that Matt kissed her and held her close in the comfort of their bed. Something which they'll do forever.

Because that's how long they both see themselves being married to each other, forever; for the rest of their lives and then some. And the truth, that was an idea that Gabby really liked. Especially when her husband is as handsome as Matt. And speaking of Matt, he just got close to her and bent down to whisper in her ear. "You thinking dirty thoughts of me?" Turning her head to look up at Matt, Gabby snickered before putting her hands on his chest and kissing him softly. "Shut up before you don't get anything later." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that, smiling as he wrapped his arm around her and just held her close; he then kissed her forehead and smiled due to the fact that it's precisely what they both want to do right now. They want to hold each other close as they take it nice and easy with each other. And that's precisely what they're going to do when they're at the pool too, they're going to hold each other close on their first full day as husband and wife; something that still baffles Gabby as she still can't wrap her mind around how they're married.


Venus Pool, Garden of the Gods, Caesars Palace
They were now poolside, making their way over to the pool that they were going to enjoy some time with each other at. The pool that they're going to cuddle up to each other in, as they hold each other close and start this new life together as husband and wife. And the truth is, she's so glad that she's married to this hunk of a man; especially considering he doesn't look at all like a CEO. No, he has the body of a model, or an actor; and her husband had to know it as he took off his shirt for her, before setting it on the ground. However, just because Matt was taking off his shirt didn't mean that he didn't notice that his new wife was currently checking him out. "Someone's checking me out." Gabby agreed, as she most certainly is checking her husband out. "Oh, you got that right." Smiling, Matt made his way over to Gabby before placing his hands on her hips. He then proceeded to tug her body against his and just smiled as they both held each other close right now. As they held each other close and concentrated on each other this morning.

Placing his hands on Gabby's butt, Matt smirked when he felt her put her hand son his arms and rub them in a way that makes them both happy. "God, I am so glad that we're alone right now." Matt agreed with Gabby, as he felt the same way. He was quite happy that he and Gabby were alone rather than having security (her brother) with them. "Me too. Now, what are we doing first? Do you need me to put anything on you?" Gabby smirked, as she most certainly did need Matt to put something on her; she needed him to put some sunscreen on her ahead of them getting in the pool. "I hope you know that we aren't just sitting next to the pool. I want to take a swim and share a kiss with my new husband in the pool." Matt agreed, as he wanted the same thing. He wants to take a swim with Gabby, while also kissing her. "Oh, believe me babe; that's exactly what I want too." Gabby agreed with Matt, smiling as she stepped close to him; while also feeling him move his hand to her neck as he started to kiss her slowly as they stood together poolside.

After which, he picked Gabby up in his arms; wrapping her legs around his waist, Matt smirked as he carried the woman he loves towards the pool chair that they were going to be using now that they were poolside. He then went ahead and sat down on it, while bringing the woman he loves close to him so that they were both chest to chest; and damn was that a real turn on for Gabby as she wrapped her arms around Matt's head. After which, she leaned in and started to take things nice and slow with the man she craves at the moment. "Damn, you are such a turn on." Matt agreed with Gabby as she told him that, well aware that he was turning her on at the moment as he placed his hands on her back; after which, he went ahead and turned to lay down on his back with Gabby on his chest. And damn did Gabby like that since it's such a turn on. Just the feeling of Matt's hand all over her body is a turn on, which is precisely why Matt's in the midst of doing it for her. He's turning his wife on as he wants to please her today.

And in order to do so, he has to give her all the attention and love that she wants; attention and love that only her husband can give her. And that all starts with him taking off her bra and going to set it to the side. Setting it to the side, and making sure that everything is all good, because that's precisely what everything is at the moment. Everything is all good as Matt and Gabby hold each other poolside in a way that turns them both on, especially since Matt's new wife is no longer wearing a bra. "I have to say, I love that you're topless now." Gabby snickered. "Calm down, this is just temporary." Leaning back, Matt looked at his wife. "Not if I have anything to say of it. What if I want my wife to take a swim with me like this?" Gabby smirked. "Then how about you ask me nicely and we'll see whether you get this." Matt smirked. "Can I get some time with you in the pool like this?" Gabby smirked, as her husband most certainly can get some intimate time with her like this in the pool. "Oh, you most certainly can Mr. Casey. Sunscreen first, though."

Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, as that was something that Matt can do for his wife. He can run his hands all over her body as he put sunscreen on her so that she doesn't burn while she's topless in the pool. God, topless in the pool with him as they take a swim; now that sounds like pure paradise. And honestly, there's a reason why he feels like he's in paradise, because he literally is in Paradise. What some people don't know is that the Las Vegas strip is really in the city of Paradise, Nevada, rather than the City of Las Vegas proper; but they just call is Las Vegas due to the fact that Paradise is in the Las Vegas Valley. But nonetheless, it's all the same place at the end of the day and there's no real difference. All that really matters, is where you have fun with each other. And right now, Matt and Gabby were having fun with each other poolside ahead of them taking a nice swim with each other; their first as husband and wife. Well, in general to tell you the truth. And damn is Gabby ready to do just that, as her husband is a real hunk.
