Chapter Eleven
She didn't think that she was going to want that yet, want her husband to get her undressed and make sweet love to her in the comfort of their bed; but now that Alex has felt her amazing husband's love, she has no regrets over having spent the past hour of her life making sweet love to him. Well, more like feeling him make sweet love to her due to the fact that he was the one that was on top of her the entire time; something that she always loves the feeling of due to the fact that it's just the best feeling in the entire world. I mean, what wife isn't going to enjoy the feeling of her dreamy husband right on top of her; especially when they just got married, which the two of them just did. The two of them have only been married for a couple hours, and she has no regrets that the two of them have already gotten undressed and made love to each other; especially not when her man is so good at making love to her, and then the after-sex time as well. Oh, the feeling of his thumb stroking her back as she laid close to him is so perfect that she doesn't want to move; nor does Matt, as he loves holding his sexy, naked wife in his arms. God, he loves saying that. The wife part, not naked.
Okay, maybe the naked part too. But that's not the most important thing right now, as that would be the fact that the two of them are married; something which Matt hopes doesn't change the whole dynamic of their relationship as he would much rather stay married to this beautiful woman for a long time. "So, did it feel different for you?" Alex was confused as she heard Matt say that, unsure of what her new husband was talking about as she cuddled up to him some more, while also moving her legs in between his and slipping her arm under his head. "What are you talking about Matt?" Alex said, as she placed her hand on her dreamy new husband's muscular chest; while he wrapped his arm around her back and just held her right against his chest (as she wanted him to do). I mean, what wife doesn't want to be right against her muscular husband when you just got married? "I'm asking if us being married makes you feel different, makes our relationship feel different." Alex smiled as something was different, which would be just how happy she is in life; something she decided to show Matt by moving her arms around his muscular torso and cuddling up to him some more.
Meanwhile, Matt wrapped his arm around her and moved his hand to her upper back as he leaned over her and stared down into her eyes. "Just getting comfortable? Or do you need to talk to me about something I might worry about?" Alex smiled at Matt. "I just want to cuddle up to my naked husband some more." Smirking, Matt agreed with Alex as he bent down and kissed the woman of his dreams. The only woman he wants to be with right now, as they hold each other close on their wedding night. "I love you." Alex agreed with Matt, smiling as she took things nice and slow with her incredible husband; that was, until she decided to ask him her question again. "Ok. Answer time while the dogs are still asleep in the corner of the room." Turning his head as he placed his hand on Alex's side, Matt smiled as he looked at Cassie and Theo while they slept in the corner of their room; at the same time, she gorgeous wife cuddled up to him some more as she rubbed his back. Something that Matt soon started to do, while placing his hand on her back and stroking it with his thumb once more. "Now this is comfortable." Alex agreed with Matt, smiling as she looked up at him.
After all, she is very comfortable when she's all cuddled up to her incredible husband this way. But now, she needs him to concentrate and talk to her about what he means when he asks her whether something's changed in the way she feels. "What are you talking about when you talk about change?" Matt took a breath as he stared into Alex's beautiful eyes, before moving his hand to the side of her face and bending down to kiss her softly for a moment; something that Alex most certainly did enjoy as they both held each other close in bed. But now, they need to get back to what they were talking about. "Okay, enough making out and back to talking. What's going on Matt?" Matt sighed. "I guess, what I'm asking is whether you feel like something's changed between us; from before we were married, to now that we're married." Alex then started to understand, clearly able to see the worry that was in her husband's eyes as they held each other close. "If you're talking about the sex, I would have to say that it was much better." Snickering, Matt agreed with Alex as it most certainly was much better. "Oh, it most certainly was MUCH better." Alex agreed with Matt, smiling at her husband.
After which, she placed her hand on the side of his face as she started to take things nice and slow with her husband; while at the same time, Matt tugged the covers up to ensure that they both stayed nice and warm with each other. And boy did Alex appreciate that, especially when she can easily get quite cold when she's in bed with the man of her dreams. "Thanks baby." Matt agreed with Alex, more than okay with covering the both of them up when she's cold. "Hey, if you're cold then you just need to tell me and we'll pull the covers up some more. I mean that Ms. Casey." Alex agreed with Matt, smiling as she still loves that name. "Love that name more than anything in the entire world." Matt agreed with Alex, smiling as he leaned in and kissed her softly. "Good, because it's your name now." Alex agreed with her incredible husband just smiled. "Ok. Back to the question you asked. What do you mean?" Matt smiled. "I mean, I guess I'm just worried that us being married will become who we are. A married couple instead of us." Alex agreed with her husband as he said that. "Hey, that will never happen babe. Believe me when I say that, we're going to enjoy this life."
Matt agreed with Alex, well aware that's something that they're going to do; especially when they're naked in bed with each other because there's only one way to describe this, and that would be that this is pure paradise. "I hope you know that this feeling of you being naked in my arms like this is pure paradise." Alex smiled as she heard Matt say that, as she felt the same way. She feels like this is pure paradise and exactly what they both want and need right now; they need to hold each other close as they take it nice and easy with each other. "And even better, this is all we need right now." Alex agreed with her husband, smiling as she leaned in and kissed him softly until she heard the dogs bark and rush away; after which, she placed her hand on the side of his face and smiled as she leaned her forehead against his. "Oh, now this I like. I love the fact that we're alone without the kids now." Matt laughed as he heard Alex say that, while placing his hand on her back and leaning in to kiss her once more. After all, this is exactly what they both want to do right now. They both want to hold each other close, as they take it nice and easy with each other as they cuddle in bed with each other.
However, Matt also knew that Alex wanted him to do something, which would be to lay down on his back, so that she can cuddle up to him as she laid down on his chest. So, he decided to do just that without even asking her, which only made Alex smile at her husband. "Thanks." Getting up, Alex got on her hands and knees so that she could crawl onto Matt's chest. "I already knew that you were waiting for it to happen, as you're much more comfortable when we lay down in bed like this." Alex agreed with Matt as she crawled on top of her husband and then laid down on his chest, something that really turned Matt on due to the fact that she's naked right now. "God, I love it when you crawl around in bed while naked." Alex agreed with Matt, well aware that was the case. "Oh, I can only imagine how turned on you are right now." Matt smiled as he heard Alex say that, while watching as she hovered on top of him. After which, he reached up and put his hand on her neck before kissing the woman he loves softly. "I love you." Alex agreed with Matt, smiling as she moved to cuddle up to the man of her dreams just like he wants her to right now as he wants to hold her close.
He had his naked wife on his chest, the covers on top of their bodies, and the TV was on his favorite sports channel, which meant that Matt truly had it all right now. He had the love of his life in his arms as they held each other close, he had sports on in the background as he cuddled up to his naked wife, he had his dogs nearby once more, and he was in the midst of getting some sexy kisses on his neck from his gorgeous wife; whose leg he was currently stroking as they just laid down in silence right now. But not an awkward silence, a comfortable silence; a silence that was welcome as the couple laid down in bed naked, simply due to the fact that they just want to take it easy and relax right now. They don't want to worry about anything. Hell, Matt isn't even thinking about work right now; all due to the fact that his sexy wife is currently naked as she cuddles up to him. However, he soon realized why she was being so quiet. And that was due to the fact that she was currently fast asleep on this chest. So, he turned his head and proceeded his lips to her forehead before whispering to his sleeping wife. "So beautiful. God, I love it when you sleep on my chest naked." Alex then started to smile.
After all, she isn't sleeping at the moment; she's just resting her eyes. "Not sleeping, just resting my eyes as you hold me on your chest." Snickering, Matt agreed with the woman he loves as he looked down at her. After which, he bent down and left a soft kiss on her forehead. "I love you." Alex agreed with Matt, as she loves him too. "Forever." Rubbing his chest, Alex laid her head down on his heart and just smiled as she listened to the sound of his heartbeat. And boy is it a nice sound, especially when it starts to go faster, though that also did concern her. "Hey, what's going on baby? You worried about something?" Turning his head as he ran his hand up and down Alex's back, Matt was confused as he had no idea what she was talking about. "Ok. What are you talking about?" Turning her head, Alex looked up at her husband. "Your heart just started beating a lot faster all of a sudden." Matt laughed as he heard Alex say that, because he already knows why that's the case. "I think I know why." Alex was confused. "Your leg is pretty close my dear." Grabbing the covers, she looked under them and realized just what Matt was talking about; her leg was close to his wand.
She then closed the clovers and just laughed. "Oh, it's close to that little thing." Laying down on Matt's chest again and kissed it, before laying her head down while he was laughing; until he realized just what he was laughing about. "HEY! It's not little!" Alex laughed as she heard Matt say that, while running her hand down his toned chest. "Well, I think we both know that got you laughing." Matt shook his head as he heard Alex say that, while also rolling over so that he could get her off of him. "Oh, do you need to go to the washroom?" Sitting up, Matt bent down and proceeded to grab his boxers. "Hey, why are you putting your boxers on baby?" Turning his head, Matt looked at his beautiful wife. "Oh, I just want to take it easy now; because obviously, you aren't interested in my LITTLE man down there." Getting up, Matt proceeded to put his boxers on while turning around to look at the woman he loves; while Alex sat up and just looked at her husband. "Hey, look at me Matt." Matt agreed with Alex. "I'm sorry. I mean that, I was just playing around with you." Agreeing with his wife, Matt smiled as he leaned over her and put his hand on her neck before kissing her softly.
He then whispered to her. "Someone needs to put the dogs out." Alex agreed with her husband as he said that, while also grabbing his hand. "Think maybe we can start taking it easy and relaxing now that we've had our fun?" Matt agreed with his wife, while bending down and putting his hand on the side of her face. Bending down, Matt smiled as he leaned in and kissed the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "Let me guess, you want to just celebrate the fact that we're married without having sex?" Alex agreed with her husband as he asked her that. "I don't want our entire marriage to be about sex." Matt agreed with Alex as he placed his hand on top of her head and then kissed her forehead softly. "Want to take a shower before we get dressed?" Alex smirked and agreed with Matt as she rolled over, getting out of bed before grabbing her robe. She then turned around and looked at her husband. "Bath or shower?" Doing up his towel, Matt smiled as he looked at the woman he loves. "You pick and I'll be right in." Alex agreed with her husband, smiling as she walked away so that she can go get their bath or shower set up; their first as a married couple.
But first, she walked over to her dresser and went to grab some lingerie for her husband; lingerie that he was going to enjoy. However, not in the way he thinks. "I hope you know that you aren't taking this off this time." Matt agreed with his wife. "Do you want me to get dressed then too?" Alex smirked. "We'll see. But for now, just boxers. We can figure it out as we go." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that, while also watching as she walked away so that she can go set up the bath. At the same time, he walked up to his dressed so that he could grab some boxers, which is everything that he needs right now as he got ready to take a nice bath with the woman he loves. A bath that they will both enjoy simply due to the fact that they're going to be holding each other close, for the first time as husband and wife; and god, Matt can't wait to have fun with her as they have a bunch of fun in the bath. Well, maybe not have fun; just relax and hold each other close as he runs his hands all over her body. He just doesn't know whether it's in a bath or a shower.
They already took a bath with each other earlier, so she decided that they were going to do something different for their first round of intimacy in the bathroom. And that would be to take a shower, where they're going to hold each other close and just take it easy with each other. And the truth is, that's exactly what they both want to do right now; they both want to hold each other close as they run their hands all over their bodies. And right now, that's precisely what they're going to do just as soon as Matt takes off his towel; after which, he hung it up next to Alex's robe and just smiled as he opened the door to the shower. While at the same time, he looked at his wife and just smirked due to the fact that this is exactly what he wants to be doing right now. "God, I am so glad that you decided to take a shower rather than a bath." Turning to look at her husband, Alex agreed with Matt and just smiled at him; while he stepped in and just smirked as he made his way over to the woman of his dreams. The woman he loves, Ms. Alexandra Marie Casey, his wife. The woman who just turned around so that her back was against the wall, while Matt was right in front of her with his hands on her hips.
Meanwhile, Alex wrapped her arms around his head and smiled as she leaned up and kissed the man of her dreams softly; her dreamy husband and the man of her dreams, Matthew James Casey. "God, we're married." Matt agreed with his wife, smiling as he moved his hand to her neck and smiled as he started to take things nice and slow with his beautiful wife. After which, he bent down and smirked as he started to suck on her neck as a way to tease his wife. And damn, that's just the best feeling in the entire world; the feeling of his lips on her neck as they have a bunch of sexy fun with each other. God, this is perfect, and this is exactly what they need to be doing with each other. "So, why did you want to take a shower instead of a bath?" Putting her hands on Matt's muscular chest, Alex smiled as she stepped close to him and looked into his eyes. "I wanted to have a good view of my husband's body, which is what you always get when we take a bath; not so much for me." Running her hands down his muscular body, Alex smirked as she put her hands on her husband's abs. "God, I love how muscular you are." Matt agreed with his wife and smiled as he put his hand on her neck.
After which, he leaned in and smiled as he took things nice and slow with the woman he loves. "I do it for you." Alex laughed, as she knew that wasn't entirely the truth. "I know it's not just for me, but due to your mental health." Matt agreed with his wife. "Yeah, the history I have." Alex agreed with her husband as he said that, before stepping close to him and putting her hands on his chest; she then leaned in and smiled as she took things nice and slow with her husband. "So, I looked at the lingerie you picked; and I have to say that it was very sexy." Alex agreed with her husband as she ran her hands down his body. "Oh, did you like it?" Matt agreed with his wife as he put his hand on the side of her face, smiling as he leaned in and kissed the woman he loves. "I hope you know that we can stop with the sex if you want for now." Alex agreed with her husband, as that most certainly is something that she likes the idea of. She likes the idea of them taking it easy and just relaxing as they hold each other close. "I think that's a good idea, we need to relax and take it easy now. I mean, I love that it's our wedding day but…" Moving his hand to her neck, Matt smiled as he kissed his wife again.
After which, he just smiled due to the fact that this is exactly what they both want to do right now. They just want to hold each other close, as they take it easy in the shower. "I have to say, I love what we decided to do; how we decided to take it easy with each other and just relax right now." Alex smirked as she heard Matt say that. "I think that's due to the fact that you love having me naked and in your arms." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as she said that. "If you want, we can take it easy and just relax with each other now if you want. I can get dressed, rather than just wear my boxers?" Alex bit her lip, as she didn't know what she wanted to do yet. "Listen, I think we need to just take it easy. I love you and I want to be all sexy with each other since we're married, but…" Getting close to Matt, Alex put her hands on his neck and smiled as he leaned in and kissed the man she loves; while Matt put his hands on her back and just smirked as he took things nice and slow with the man of her dreams. "So, sweats and cuddling with each other?" Alex agreed, as that's something that she wants to do. "Maybe we can go watch a movie together in the screening room?" Matt agreed with Alex.
He then smiled as he put his hand on the side of her face and smiled as he took things nice and slow with the woman he loves, because this is precisely what he wants to do right now. He wants to take things nice and slow with the woman he loves, as they have a bunch of fun with each other on their first day as husband and wife. "God, I am so glad that we're married now." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that, before bending down and smirking as he started to suck on her neck as a way to tease her; and damn was she teased, as she wrapped her arms around his back and smiled as she got ready to take it easy and relax with her husband. "You're okay with us just taking it easy now, right?" Turning his head, Matt nodded and agreed with the woman he loves. Because of course he's okay with them just getting all comfortable with each other and taking it easy with each other. "Babe, I want to make you happy. I want you to relax, and I want to start our married life with each other in the best way possible…which is by having fun with each other and just taking it easy. And if you want to take it easy in sweats, then we'll do just that." Alex agreed with Matt, smiling.
She then leaned in and just smirked as she took things nice and slow with her husband, which is precisely what they both wanted to do with him. But maybe not in the screening room, in bed instead. "Maybe we can stay in bed instead. I just want to be comfortable with you." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that, as that most certainly is something that he wants as well. He wants to hold the woman he loves, as they hold each other close and just take it easy with each other; but just not have sex with each other. And that's precisely what they're going to do. They're just going to hold each other close, as they take it easy and relax in bed with each other.
Coming out of the washroom after getting dressed into her lingerie, Alex smiled as she looked at the man she loves as he finished putting his shirt on after getting dressed, which is something that she asked her husband to do prior to her coming out of the washroom. The reason? It's due to the fact that she doesn't want to change her mind. She wants to keep going with the plans they have so that they can just relax and take it easy with each other on their first day as husband and wife. God, that still sounds incredible. Husband and wife. That man she's looking at right now is her husband. That's still something that she can't believe. The fact that he's her husband. And that's precisely why she just decided to make her way over to the man she loves and wrapped her arms around him from behind, while Matt put his hands on her arms and smiled as he spoke to his wife. "Hey, this is a nice surprise." Turning around, Matt smiled as he stepped close and looked at the woman of his dreams. He then smirked at his beautiful wife.
Wrapping his arms around her nice and tight, Matt smiled as he bent down and proceeded to kiss the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "I love you." Alex agreed with her husband as he said that, smiling as she looked up into his eyes. "I love you too and I am so glad that we're married." Alex then proceeded to wrap her arms around his neck, while Matt proceeded to pick her up in his arms and smiled as he wrapped her legs around his waist. Moving his hands up and down her back, Matt smiled as he rubbed it and just held her close before leaning back and looking at the woman he loves. Leaning in, he smirked as he took things nice and slow with the woman he loves. "You want me to get us anything to eat? I just checked the time and it's getting late in the afternoon." Turning her head, Alex looked at the time and was shocked that it was already this late in the afternoon. "OK. We've had way too much fun and sex since we got home." Walking over to their bed, Matt smirked as he adjusted his shirt.
After which, he leaned over the woman he loves and placed his hand on her neck; before turning his head and smiling at the woman he loves. "Amazing sex which has started our journey to becoming parents." Alex smiled as she heard Matt say that, while also feeling him lean in and kiss her softly. "I'm going to stay here, okay? Find a movie that we can enjoy together as we cuddle up to each other in bed. How does that sound?" Matt smiled as that sounds absolutely perfect. "I think that sounds perfect." Alex smiled as she leaned in and kissed the man she loves once more. "Listen, how about you go get us some food, or do you want to order us something?" Matt smirked. "Oh, I'm going to cook my wife some supper for the first time." Alex agreed with Matt, smiling as she grabbed his hand. After which, she kissed it and just held her husband close to her. "Did I ever tell you just how much I love you?" Matt agreed, because she most certainly did. "Yes, you did when we said our vows." Alex agreed with her handsome husband.
Her sexy, loving husband. "I am still so happy that we're married. I know I say that a lot but…" Matt shook his head as he sat down on the edge of their bed and went to grab his beautiful wife's hand. After which, he smiled as he got close to her. "Hey, take a breath and just look at me." Alex agreed with her husband, smiling as she felt him put his hand on her side. After which, she placed her hand on his face and smiled at the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. Leaning her forehead against his, she smiled due to the fact that this truly is exactly what they both want to do right now. They both want to hold each other close and just take it easy with each other. "I hope you know that this is my dream come true. You're the man of my dreams, I love you and I am so glad that this is our life now." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that, as that most certainly is exactly how he feels right now. He feels happy that he's her husband. "I think this is exactly what we've needed to do for a long time, get married so we're official for life."
Alex agreed with Matt as he said that, smiling as she felt him grab her hand; while she intertwined their fingers and stroked his hand with her thumb. "We're a team for life." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that, before moving his hand to the side of her face and smiling as he stroked her cheek with his thumb. "I promise you this, I will always be on your side." Alex agreed with Matt, well aware that was the case; she knew it so much, that he didn't even need to tell her that. "I promise baby, I already knew that. You don't need to say it." Matt agreed with his wife, smiling at her. "I know, I just like saying it. We're a team for the rest of our lives." Alex agreed with the man of her dreams. "And someday, we're going to be parents to a beautiful baby." Matt agreed with Alex, smiling as he put his hand on her stomach before stroking it with his thumb, while she put her hand on top of hers. "Do you want to talk about a timeline for that?" Matt agreed with his wife. "I want a baby whenever we're blessed with one. No pressure whatsoever." Alex agreed.
After all, that's precisely what she wanted to hear. No pressure when it comes to them having a child; especially since they already knew it's going to happen at some point. "I promise babe, it's going to happen sometime soon. I can just feel it that things are going to fall into place. We're going to get pregnant soon. You've wanted to be a father for way too long. And now that you have a woman who wants to have a baby with you, it's going to happen as soon as possible." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that, smiling as he put his hand on the side of her face. He then bent down and smiled as he started to take things nice and slow with the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "What do you think of me turning the Hallmark Channel on or something? Do you mind watching those Christmas movies with me?" Matt agreed with his wife as he's more than ready to watch Christmas movies with her. "Well, I think that most certainly is a plan. We can relax as we have supper and watch the Hallmark Channel." Alex was shocked.
After all, she thought that Matt was going to be completely against them watching the Hallmark Channel. "Really, you fold that fast?" Matt agreed with Alex as she asked him that question, smiling due to the fact that he most certainly is that easy. "What? Do you not want to watch the Hallmark Channel?" Alex then went to try and change the subject as that was the last thing that she wanted him to think. "Ok. Take it easy there, I didn't say that. I actually do like the idea of us cuddling up to each other as we watch a nice movie with each other." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that, smiling as he held her hand and intertwined their fingers. After which, he stroked her hand with his thumb and just smiled due to the fact that it's precisely what they both want to do right now. They just want to hold each other close and take it easy with each other as they start this new life with each other. After which, Matt placed his hand on her cheek again before bending down and kissing her cheek softly. "I love you so much Alex, I hope you know that." Alex agreed.
After all, if there was one thing she knew; it was that her husband loves her a lot. "I know that baby, just take it easy and relax. I promise that everything is okay and we're going to have fun for the rest of our life. Now listen, I think it's time for us to eat supper. We need to take it easy too and just relax. We need to take it easy and calm down." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife. "Do you want some wine?" Alex smiled as that was something that she liked the sound of. She loves the sound of them having some wine. "And pasta?" Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as she said that. "Ok, if we're having pasta then maybe you should come downstairs." Alex agreed with her husband as she said that, as that's precisely something that she can and will do. "I'll do that for you. Now, go downstairs and start making me some nice pasta. Maybe some with Shrimp?" Matt agreed with his wife as he leaned over her and kissed her softly. "Well, that's something that I will most certainly do. I'll start supper and then you can come downstairs."
Alex agreed with her amazing husband as he said that, smiling as she stroked his hand and just held him close to a minute; while Matt leaned over her and smiled as he kissed her softly. "I love you so much and I am so glad that this is everything we're doing. Now, I am going to go put the dogs out and start pasta." Alex agreed with Matt. "I'm coming with you. No need to stay down here if we're going to cuddle." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as he got up, before smiling as he extended his hand so that Alex can grab it. After which, she did just that so that they can both head downstairs and just have some more fun with each other. Fun where they can just hold each other close and take it easy with each other. And at the end of the day, this is going to be everything they want to do. They want to have fun with each other, as they start their life as husband and wife. "I want to have some wine too." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that, smiling as they both made their way downstairs with each other so that they he can get her comfortable.
Walking into the living room of their home together, Matt and Alex both smiled due to the fact that this truly is exactly what they both want. They both want to be downstairs as they take it easy and just relax with each other, but only after Matt makes them some supper; while she watches some TV and finds a movie. "So, just curious…what happens if we fall asleep down here?" Stepping close to his wife, Matt smiled as he grabbed her hands and intertwined their fingers. He then leaned in and smiled as he kissed her softly. "We can sleep down here for the first time as husband and wife. I mean, we've already slept with each other enough." Alex laughed and agreed with Matt as he said that as that most certainly is the truth. "Tell me about it. Now listen, how about you go relax and take it easy as you find a show that we can watch?" Alex agreed with her husband as she left his hand go and walked away so that she can do just that. While at the same time, Matt grabbed her ass and squeezed it; which made Alex jump. "HEY!" Smirking, Matt looked at her.
After all, he can tell that his wife loved the feeling of him squeezing her ass. "We both know that you loved that as much as you don't want to admit it." Alex agreed with Matt as she walked away to the living room where she was going to relax. Meanwhile, Matt walked over to the kitchen so that he can make them some supper which they'll enjoy in the living room.
