"Why wouldn't you let me go home and change?" Audrey sighed reclining back on the chaise longue.

Richard smiled,"Well you see Audrey, May I call you Audrey? After all we have known each other quite a while,"

"Yes we have," she replied in a flirty manner

He picked up on her tone and replied in an equally flirty way, "And you perhaps you'd call me Richard,"

"Perhaps,"

"I was going to surprise you by having the fireplace from in here put into the lodge but Brabinger told the workmen about the fireplace he had found so I had to come up with something else,"

Audrey sat up excitedly, "So you've got me another surprise. I love suprises, where is it?"

"Right here," he said reaching into his jacket pocket and pulling out a rectangle box.

He handed it to her, enjoying the way she quickly took it from him and opened it like a child on Christmas morning.

Audrey opened the box to reveal a silver bracelet, "Oh Richard, it's beautiful, you shouldn't have,"

"I wanted to say thank you, here let me put it on for you," he said standing and sitting next to her.

When he'd secured the bracket around her wrist he couldn't help but run his thumb across her wrist.

Audrey watched his face as he did and felt the urge to kiss him, truthfully she had felt that urge since first meeting him. But today he had shown her his vulnerable side and it made her even more conscious of her growing feelings for him.

Reaching up she placed her palm on his cheek making him look up at her. She ran her thumb across his cheekbone, her eyes staring into his.

"Audrey?"

Audrey shook her head then leaned forward, her face millimetres from his. She closed her eyes a second before she touched her lips to his.

It was barely a touch but the jolt of electricity that shot through him made Richard want more. When she pulled back he followed her, kissing her deeply. Audrey ran her hand from his cheek to the back of his neck holding him to her.

She leaned back onto the chaise longue bringing Richard with her. Richard began to feel a twinge in his back from this awkward angle and tried to move while still keeping Audrey in his arms.

Realising his discomfort Audrey opened her legs inviting him to settle between them, which he did.

Laying in the cradle of her thighs, Richard moved his lips to her neck, his teeth nipping before his tongue soothed her soft skin.

Audrey's eyes rolled back at the touch of his mouth on her mixed with the feeling of his growing hardness pressed against her pelvis.

Richard began to rock his hips against her, hitting just the right place to make her moan. Audrey ran her hands down his back, gripping his buttocks and pushing him against her more. Every stroke of his hips hit her just right. The only thing stopping him from entering her were both their trousers.

"Don't stop..." she gasped

Her words spurred him on and he continued to dry hump her hard, knowing he was nearing release.

Audrey got so much pleasure from the grinding of her hips to his that she worried her wetness would seep through her breeches but that thought quickly left as rich continued to move against her.

"God Audrey I'm going to...Ah..." he cried out as he felt himself release into his boxers.

Audrey tumbled over the edge moments after, her fingers digging into his backside keeping him where he was to prolong the pleasure she felt.

Richard pushed himself up, hovering above her a look of surprise and wonder on his face. Audrey reached up and held his face in her hands.

"I don't regret what we just did, I hope you don't either," she said unsure what he would say.

He smiled down at her, "I don't regret it either, in fact I hope we can do this again. But perhaps next time in a more comfortable place with less clothes on,"

Audrey grinned, "Oh I think we can arrange that,"
