Chapter 50 - The Reception

Alex's POV

The wedding flowed into the reception smoothly and we timed it perfectly. The sun is just setting behind the trees and the stream behind our lawn is glistening with orange light. The ceremony lasted exactly the right amount of time.

Our backyard once again turned into a lovely venue. There are thousands and thousands of flowers hanging above us as well as thousands of sparking lights surrounded our property. Miranda, really did a great job again. She never fail to impress me everytime.

The evening slowed down and everybody relaxed as the soft music playing surrounded us. A selection of music we had chosen was played throughout the event.

Our guest was whisked away to cocktail hour, which Nicky kept saying "happy hour". Well, I won't disagree with her, because let's be honest that's what it is.

The food is also fantastic and everybody seems to be having a great time.

"Congrats, guys!", Cal yelled excitedly and engulf me and Piper in his big bear hug. I can literally feel Piper's cheek and mine rubbing each other.

"Thank you for coming here Cal, it means a lot". I said politely to him after he released us from his embrace.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world and it sounded like fun so I thought I'd come. And also..."

He leans closer and whisper,

"I am doing this Full Body Detox thing. Mind you it wasn't my idea, it was Neri's idea and I'm not allowed to have alcohol so this is a good excuse to drink". He said and winked at us.

"Oh my God! That's terrible. No alcohol?". Piper blurted.

"Yeah, you know her, she will go ballistic so I can't say no". Cal made a face.

"I can still remember when she let us drink her breast milk. Jesus!". Piper added.

"Oh yeah, don't remind me". Cal replied and shook his head.

"Wait, she lets you guys drink her milk?". I asked surprised.

"It's a long story Alex. Anyway, I'm happy that you are now officially my sister".

I was surprised by his last statement and I felt a rush of joy. I've never had a brother or a sister growing up so I don't know how it feels to have one.

Behind him patiently waiting is Piper best friend, Polly. She smiled shyly and walk towards us. I realized I was holding my breath at the woman in front of me.

"Congratulations. It's good to see things work out for you both," Polly said. "I'm happy for you guys." Both Piper and Polly hugged each other.

"Thank you, Poll. That means a lot to us". Polly pulled away from Piper to look at me.

"Thank you for coming here. For supporting Piper". I mumbled

And I was surprised once again when she hugged me.

"You're welcome". She replied and I was surprised at the optimism in her tone.

Perhaps, everything will be okay, everything will work out. Might not be tonight, tomorrow or the next day, but everything's gonna be okay eventually.

*******************************

My eyes scanned the crowd as I search for, Piper. I was cornered by Neri a while ago and was introduced to some of Piper's family members. I was given soft, warm hugs and a lot of kisses from their family.

Finally, I found my wife talking to Nicky's mom, Marka Nichols. I made my way to them and put my hand on Piper's waist.

She spin around to look at me.

"Oh hi, babe!". She said beaming.

"Hey, I was taken hostage by your sister-in-law and I escaped. I barely made it alive". I said and I kissed her cheek.

She just shake her head and chuckle.

Piper, is aware of how much I dislike Neri.

"Congratulations, Alex. You both look very pretty". Marka said.

"Thank you, Marka. I'm glad that you're able to come. Would you excuse us for a minute, I just need to talk to my wife".

"Yeah, go ahead". She said dismissively.

I hold Piper's hand and we made our way through the crowd and inside our house.

I just need some alone time to talk with my wife. It's a big struggle trying to find time for each other and saying hello to everybody.

"What are we doing?". Piper asked confused.

"I just need some alone time with you. I missed you".

Once we are inside the house I grab Piper's waist and pull her close to me and I kissed her passionately. She responded and wrap her arms around my neck.

Our kiss deepened and our tongue exploring each others mouth. I want Piper, but this is not the right place to do it with all the people outside.

Her hands started to wander all over my body. She grab my ass and my breast and pin me against the wall. She reach down under my dress and touch my pussy. I groaned as her expert hand do it's thing.

"Let's go to our room". Piper whispered.

I chuckled. This is not what I was intending to do. I reach up and holds her face.

"No, babe. We're not going to do that right now". I replied.

"Then why did you bring me here? Come on babe, It'll be quick". She pleaded.

"Later, I promise. I brought you here because I missed you. I barely saw you there and I just want to spend a quick, uninterrupted time to talk to you".

If only she knew how much I wanted to peel her out of her dress and make love to her right now.

"Okay", She groaned.

"Isn't this exciting Al, we are officially married!". Piper squealed in delight.

"I know Pipes, It's still kind of surreal that we're actually married, I can't believe it and you look very pretty". I said and touch her cheek.

"No, you are pretty. You should hear how my family talks about how beautiful you are".

I just laughed at her because Piper can be so naive sometimes. She really has no idea how beautiful she is.

"You know what? I think we should go back". I said and pulled her towards the door but she stopped me and kissed me again.

"Can we stay here for a little bit more? I want you. I promise I'll be quick, they won't even know we were gone". She pleaded.

God! I am getting so turned on but the people outside might wonder and come looking for us. I remember the last time we did it on her birthday and we got caught by Nicky.

"Please". She pleaded and it's hard for me to not give her what she wants when she begged to me like that.

"Oh, Fuck it!". I said and pull her close to me again. I crush my lips to hers and I heard her moan. We can't seem to keep our hands from each others bodies. Finally she slams me hard against the wall knocking over one of the pictures hanging and it fell on the floor with a loud thud.

I was instantly brought back to reality and the thought of getting caught entered my mind again.

I reluctantly pulled away from my wife. We were both panting.

"I promise we'll have a great time after this, okay?

Now we really have to go back". Piper groaned but she agreed and we both went back to the party as if nothing happened.

The evening was lovely. My face hurts from smiling too much, it feels like everyone wants to take our picture.

We keep all the standard traditions like the cutting of the cake and we take turns shoving the cake in each others mouth. It was funny because I might've given Piper a big slice and she almost choked. Everybody howled with laughter as I dive in under Piper's dress and removed the garter with my teeth. My wife blushed crimson as I pulled it out, I gave her a wink and throw the garter straight at Larry's stunned face.

We both throw our bouquets together and my flower landed on Amelia and Piper's bouquet went to Nicky's mom.

When the music started Piper pulled me in for our customary first dance. I went willingly despite my lack of talent with dancing. Truth be told, I wasn't keen on having my first dance with my wife infront of other people.

My dress has an open back design and Piper keep complimenting me about how she likes my dress and that she can't wait to take it off me. She place her hand on my bare skin and started caressing my back.

I know what she's doing and she knows it's making me hot.

"Can you not do that please?". I asked her nicely.

"What? I'm not doing anything". She said acting innocent.

"You know what I meant. Stop!". I said sternly.

"I don't know what you mean, you have to tell me". She smiled at me sweetly, bitting her lower lip.

I lean closer to her and whisper in her ear.

"You know very well that it's making me horny, so please stop what you're doing or I'm going to drag you back inside the house right now and fuck you so hard that everybody here will hear you cum. I'm not playing around, Piper". I warned.

Her mouth literally dropped open and she didn't answer. She wasn't expecting me to be so straight forward.

"Yes that's right, so stop pulling that stunt on me and you should probably close your mouth before you catch a fly".

The rest of the night continue to flow smoothly.

Everybody is having fun and enjoying the dance, It seemed like I danced with everyone, it was good to see and meet Piper's family but I really wanted to be with Piper more than anything else. I was completely happy when Larry, suddenly cut in and ruining my mood.

"Hey, Alex". He said timidly.

"Hi Larry... I'm sorry about earlier". I apologized for throwing the garter on his dumbfounded face.

"It's fine. I still have the garter though, I'll return it back".

"Oh it's alright, you can have it". He can keep it as a souvenir.

We danced awkwardly, he was no better at it than I was, so we moved safely from side to side.

"Congratulations! This is...this is a very nice wedding and thank you for inviting us".

"No problem. I'm glad you guys came and Piper is very happy that you're here. This is very important for her".

As much as I hate to see Larry and Polly, I know they are very important people to Piper.

"Can I cut in?". Piper said smiling at me and Larry.

"All yours" Larry said and my wife gave him a hug.

"Thank you for coming". Piper, said and she kissed Larry on the cheek.

"No problem". Larry replied and he left.

I was happy when Piper claimed me again. Looking at my wife I felt a sense of contentment and I feel certain that everything else in my life is in the right place tonight. I smiled as I felt Piper's touch.

"Still not fond of Larry?" Piper said as we twirled away.

"Not really, he's okay but he's so bad at dancing". I whispered.

Piper laughed and she stare at me gently. She pushed a lock of hair away from my face and caress my cheek with her finger.

"You are so beautiful". Piper said looking at me like a delicate flower.

"You are beautiful too, Pipes".

I can safely say that our first dance was actually a lot of fun and definitely one of the highlights of our day.

Piper and I left our wedding reception at around 11:30pm. We jumped in our car and loaded up with everything we would need like our bags, snacks and other goodies to bring on our long trip. Nicky's mom generously gifted us a 1 week all expense paid vacation trip.

Few brides can say their wedding went exactly as planned and I'm proud to say ours went pretty well.
