All characters in this story are fictional and any that engage in sexual activity are over the age of 18. I hope you enjoy reading it!
This story came to me while I was thinking about another one, and just grew on its own after that. I warn you now that this is a long story, broken into several very long chapters. I prefer to develop my characters, and let you, the reader, get to know them in the process. The pace may slow down in parts, but there is also a fair amount of sex to keep some of the characters happy. As a reminder to everyone, this is PURE FICTION. I tried to make my story entertaining, and somewhat plausible/realistic but not so life-like that it really happened. I am sure I will get some comments about some parts that are vastly unrealistic, and that's ok with me.
As always, I want to extend a huge thanks to my editor, Guinahart, for not only proofing my work, but also for encouraging me to rethink some ideas that would otherwise have probably failed to tell the story as I wanted to. I have completed and submitted part two for this already, so the wait to read the next chapter will be determined by how quickly the Literotica staff gets it approved. Part three is in the works, and will hopefully be over for editing soon. I will do my best not to keep you all waiting too long in between chapters.

"James, where the hell are you? You said you'd be home an hour ago?" my wife Caitlin yelled into my ear. "Are you even close?"
"Honey, I tried to tell you, I hit some rough weather, and had to detour around the storm some. I just finished puttin' the plane in the hangar, and about to drive home now. OK?"
"Yeah, just hurry up. I miss you, and your dinner is cold now."
"Honey, I will make it up to you, I promise. Right now, I am going to drive as fast as the speed limits allow me to. I gotta get home to my woman!" Ok, so I was overdoing it a bit, but come on, my wife needed to hear me grovel right about now.
"Grrr...You owe me for this, Mr. Holmes. Next week, you are all MINE!" She was referring to our coming anniversary getaway vacation that we had planned on for months. "No laptop, no work calls, nothing! I mean it! You aren't even allowed to TALK about work, got it?"
And my only acceptable response at this point, was the age old answer that all husbands get used to, "Yes, dear."
That's Caitlin, my wife of nineteen years. She is my first love, with my love of flying coming in second. We had dated for almost two years, were engaged for another year, before we finally got married. I think the final push for her had been when she got pregnant with our daughter, Madison. I had proposed to her, while out to a really nice dinner, and she had accepted in front of a full house. There had been clapping, and of course a great big hug and kiss afterwards. Whenever we talked about setting a date though, she would get squeamish. I don't know what she had been scared of at that time, but she would always just tell me that she wanted the timing to be right.
I knew I would have her for the rest of my life, so I wasn't worried about the date that it became official. Well, fast forward six months and she came to me and said she was pregnant! I was elated, and we were the happiest couple we knew. We discussed setting a date again, and finally decided to get married that July. She was due to give birth in December, so we figured she would be showing by then, but nowhere close to the time for our child to be born.
The day before the wedding, my wife was going to be spending the night with her parents at their hotel room. Something about the bride not seeing the groom until we got to the church... silly superstitions. I went along with it, because it was important to her. Before she left to go for the evening, we had a conversation that I will remember for the rest of my life. She came up behind me and hugged me tight.
"Jim, I love you." She hugged me tighter, almost as if we would never see each other again. "I love you more than you could possibly know. I can't wait until I am 'Mrs. James Holmes', and plan to spend the rest of our lives showing you how much I love you."
"Honey," I said as I hugged her arms with my own, "You've already shown me. You show me every day that I am the luckiest man alive. I have loved you with all my heart since the day we met, and plan to show you how much I love you every day of our lives."
She turned me around and we stayed close, looking deep into each other's eyes. We both said "I love you," at almost the exact same time, giggled, and then moved in for a slow, passionate kiss. She left and I had a fitful night of sleep, without her next to me in bed. God help me if I ever had to get used to sleeping alone again.
The next day, the ceremony was everything she dreamed it would be. We had a big church wedding, with both our parents attending. Her father walked her down the aisle, and you could see the pride on his face. He also looked close to tears, but knowing him, he would never admit to being close to crying. He was the strong silent type, a man of a different generation, I think. He had served in the military, a Marine for life. He kissed her on the cheek, and sat next to her mom. She wasn't even trying to hold back the tears of joy, and wept openly, smiling happily.
My parents sat on my side, and had previously told me how proud they were of the fine young man I had become. Now they just smiled, and I am pretty sure my mom cried some when we gave our vows. We had written our own, as we both thought we needed to express our undying love for each other better than the standard vows ever could.
Caitlin was beautiful. No, that word doesn't do her justice. During the walk down the aisle towards me, she was glowing like an angel. The white dress was long and flowing, and she looked absolutely radiant. I was so focused on her face, and the happiness it could barely contain, that I think I lost track of time. Here I was, standing in my rental tux, next to an angel. She stood at about 5' 6", and had a perfect body. I am not talking about a supermodel body, but she had the sexiest curves of any woman I had ever met. She had slender legs that met at her waist, with hips that flared out nicely. Her nice round ass was both toned and curved just perfectly for her size. Her tummy was that perfect little rounded version of flat, that showed she liked to eat but not to the point of being overweight. The perfect curves continued up to her gorgeous breasts that were firm and stood proudly.
