"We should to do this more often" Richard said loading the last of their cases into the boot of the rolls.
He had only brought one bag with him but Audrey had three cases and a small bag. When he had complained this morning about how he was going to fit it all into the car and why she needed so much stuff for a short trip she had simply told him it was better to be prepared and have too much than not enough.
Audrey smiled "I agree, I love it when it's just the two of us. No staff, no problems with the estate to worry about."
"And no mother to walk in on us" Richard joked.
"Yes that too" pressing her body against his Audrey ran a finger along the edge of his shirt collar smiling when she felt his hands on her hips. "But you must admit darling, the chance of getting caught is quite thrilling"
"Mmm, very thrilling" he murmured his lips capturing hers in a soft kiss.
When he pulled back he noticed a sadness cross her face. "Darling what's wrong?"
Audrey shook her head her arms now around Richard's neck "I'm sorry darling l'm just a little sad, spending this time with you here has been wonderful and I don't want it to end."
He smiled "It has been lovely and we can comeback soon darling, anytime you want."
He nudged her nose with his "I have a surprise for you at home "
Audrey grinned "Really? Darling You know how much I love surprises. What is it?"
Richard tutted "It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you would it"
"Oh please richard" she protested.
Seeing how excited she was and wanting to keep the smile on her face Richard relented "Alright. You remember how much you loved the bathroom in the hotel on our honeymoon?"
"Yes, It was beautiful"
"Well when you were out a few weeks ago I had the designer come to the manor. When you mentioned spending the weekend away I organised for his team to do the work under Brabingers watchful eye of course"
"You mean..."
He nodded "Mm-hm we now have what you called the most beautiful bathroom you'd ever seen at the manor."
"Darling that's so sweet. I can't wait to see it. Is it exactly the same?"
"As close as it can be yes." Pulling her tighter to him Richard nuzzled her neck
"Maybe we could make use of the extra large bath tonight." He mumbled against her pulse point.
Audrey turned her head giving him greater access to her neck, sighing when she felt his teeth nip her skin "Oh I think that could be arranged and this time I'll wash your back darling"
Richard raised his head and captured her lips in a searing kiss. When the kiss eventually ended Audrey grinned at Richard and placed her lips next to his ear.
"Let's go home darling"
