This story will make a little more sense if you read CHARLIE'S PAIN AND HEALING first as this is a continuation of that short story.
The wedding went off without a hitch and throughout the reception Charlie and Amanda were constantly together. They were always touching, giving each other gentle kisses and staring soulfully into each other's eyes. Every time he looked at Amanda Charlie felt his heart swell with love. At times he wondered just how he could have been so lucky to win her for his wife. Of course his happiness was bittersweet too because he would occasionally remember Charlene. Like his friend Donna had said so many months ago he would never get completely over Charlene's loss.
Many times during the early part of the reception Amanda caught Charlie looking lost, staring at her or just out into the darkness. Amanda felt a little surge of fear when she saw that and felt her heart cry out for him. She was sure he was remembering Charlene and what had been torn from him. She vowed to do everything in her power to take that hurt away from him and leave only the good memories of his first wife, to help him erase the hurt of her loss in combat.
After one hectic bout of dancing Charlie guided Amanda to the edge of the light and off the patio. He turned her to face him and wrapped his arms around her waist. He rested his hands on her beautiful rump and stared down at her face. When he bent to kiss her Amanda saw tears seeping from the corner of his eyes. She reached up and wiped them off and said, "Charlie honey. What's wrong?"
Charlie smiled and bent for another kiss then replied, "I am just so damn happy and I love you so. At the same time I feel so guilty. It's like I'm not supposed to be this happy, like I am taking something I don't deserve and...well, all I want to do is take you off somewhere and keep you all to myself. I know I can't do that because we have all these friends and family here that want you with them also."
Amanda smiled and hugged Charlie to her. She ground her crotch against his raging hard on, stood on her tiptoes and gave him a gentle kiss. "Well then Mr. Fielding. I suggest we do just that. It's nearly midnight and the truck is loaded. We've spent several hours here with our friends. Now it's time for us to begin our life together. Why don't we just tell everyone good-bye and drive off? I know for a fact the north line cabin is warm and stocked with nibblies."
Charlie grinned and began pulling Amanda toward the lighted patio. As they passed guests they began telling all their guests good-bye. When they reached the front door of Amanda's parents home they turned to face the assembled guests. Charlie raised his voice and said, "Everyone. We're so happy you chose to come and celebrate our marriage with us. It's getting late and Amanda and I need to leave now. Thank you again for coming and for everything you have done for both of us."
Many of the guests tried to get them to stay just a little while longer but they refused to do so. Amanda just smiled and hugged Charlie. She looked up into his eyes and then turned to the guests and said, "No, Charlie's right. It's time we left. Good bye everyone." She turned back to Charlie and gently pushed him out the door, following behind with their fingers still entwined.
Finally their friends gave up trying to keep them there and stood waving as they got into Charlie's truck. All the good byes were completed and the guests stood in the yard watching as the young couple drove out of sight.
As the guests returned to the dance area to continue the party Amanda's old neighbors and friends decided this was the best reception and party they had been to in at least 20 years. All were sorry to see Amanda go but agreed she deserved the happiness it looked like Charlie would give her. Charlie and Amanda would not be coming back to Amanda's parents home. They had made arrangements for Charlie's family to drive her truck and Sophie (Amanda's horse) to their new home in Missouri. Every spare corner of every homeward bound vehicle was packed with Amanda's belongings. Her parents had promised to come later in the year with what remained.
Charlie and Amanda made a rapid trip down the Ranch access road until they were out of sight of the house. "Slow down now Charlie. The corner is just up here a little. THERE. Turn left now and follow the trail." Amanda said.
As he drove Amanda smiled and leaned into him, wrapping her right arm across his abdomen. She rose to nuzzle his neck then relaxed with a contented sigh. She murmured, "I just love it up here at the old line cabin. I can't believe we're going to spend our first married night together in it. As they drove Amanda scooted closer to Charlie once more and gave him another kiss. She squeezed his cock through his trousers. She then moved back to the passenger side and leaned forward.
Charlie heard some rustling. Amanda was moving and thumping around. He turned toward her and stared in amazement as he watched her pull her top over her head. Her breasts popped out of her top and jiggled nicely from the bouncing of the truck over the uneven ground. Amanda looked at Charlie and smiled then hooked her thumbs in the waistband of her short skirt. She raised her hips and pushed it down and off her body. Charlie was awestruck. She had no panties on either.
Amanda turned and leaned against the passenger door. She pulled her feet up in the seat, placed her heels together and splayed her legs. She turned on the passenger map light and it shown into her crotch. Charlie swallowed and felt his cock surge when he saw her shaved pussy glistening with the juices of her arousal. Amanda smiled at him and slowly ran her hands down over her chest, across her beautiful belly just now beginning to show her pregnancy. Slowly, so slowly Amanda used her left hand to open her sex more fully. She moaned as she gently slid two fingers deeply into her glistening cunt. "Oh, Charlie, see what you've caused? I just can't wait for you to show me how you can make my little pussy feel. It's been waaay too long."
In between her giving directions to Charlie for his drive to the cabin Amanda gently played with her cunt. Occasionally she would either bring her glistening fingers to her mouth and lick them off or would offer them to Charlie. She kept both of them on the edge until finally Charlie arrived at the cabin and parked the truck near the back door where Amanda directed. The truck was between some trees and bushes and the side of the building. It would be almost impossible to see and would be sheltered from sunlight yet easy to reach to unload whatever they might need.
