Audrey lay on the bed looking at her husband, he was standing by the window looking through the curtains dressed in just his Pajamas bottoms "Richard will you come away from that window."

"But darling it's past midnight she should be home by now" he replied still peeking through the curtains.

"Perhaps she's staying over" She teased him.

Richard's face took on a look of horror before he saw the smile on his wife's face "That is not funny darling, I just don't like the thought of my mother out with a strange man"

Audrey sighed "He's not a strange man Richard she's been out with him several times before"

"Then why haven't we met him yet, we don't even know his name" Richard protested

"Perhaps she doesn't want to scare him away" she sighed

Suddenly Richard saw a pair of headlights emerge onto the driveway "There's car car coming up the drive."

Audrey lept off the bed, if she were honest she was as curious as Richard about who the man Mrs Poo had been seeing was. "Where? Is it a taxi or is he driving?"

Richard raised his eyebrows at her sudden interest "Oh so now your interested"

Audrey ignored him "Oh they're pulling up, quick darling turn the light off we don't want them to see us looking"

Richard quickly turned the light off then came back to stand next to Audrey.

"It's a taxi, oh he's opening the door for her, oh how sweet" Audrey sighed

Richard rolled his eyes "What's he doing now...he's there just standing there"

"He's kissing her goodnight," Audrey said excitedly

"Well really and in public" Richard huffed

Closing the curtains Audrey wrapped her arms around his neck "We do it all the time darling, in fact, you seem to enjoy it very much."

Richard put his hands on her hips, rubbing them gently "I do you know I do, but we are married darling"

Audrey brushed her thumb across his cheek "Even before we were married we engaged in public displays of affection Richard"

Hearing the front door shut Richard pulled away from Audrey and grabbed his robe, he was just opening the bedroom door when his mother walked by.

"And what time do you call this?" Richard asked his mother.

"Good evening to you to Bedrich"

"Mother, do you realize what time it is?"

"Do not lecture me Bedrich, I am a grown woman and I will do what I like" she said waving her finger at him.

"But Mother..."

Audrey appeared in the doorway behind Richard "Ah Audrey I was just on my way to bed"

Audrey smiled at her "Goodnight Mrs. Poo, I hope you had a nice evening"

Richard was not going to let this go without voicing his disapproval "Mother we really must talk about this gentleman you are seeing, I don't understand why you need to go out with him."

"There is a saying in old Czechoslovakia, just because there is snow on the roof does not mean there isn't a fire inside" with that she turned and walked to her room.

Richard watched his mother walk down the hallway to her room a shocked look on his face. Audrey took his hand pulling him back into their room before she burst out laughing.

"This is not funny Audrey, my mother is having...relations with that man," he said flustered

"Oh darling don't be so silly, she is not having relations, she is just enjoying the attentions of a gentleman. There is nothing wrong with that"

"Well I don't like it" he moaned

Audrey placed her hands on his chest rubbing them up and down trying to soothe him "Darling, please just let her enjoy the moment"

A thought came to her "Look how about tomorrow we ask her to invite him to dinner then we can check him out, make sure he is suitable"

Richard smiled at her "I think that's marvelous idea darling"

The next morning Audrey had spoken to Mrs. Poo about inviting her gentleman caller over for dinner. She had agreed it was a good idea and tomorrow had been selected as the perfect time to do it. Audrey had also discovered the man's name was Henry, now all she had to do was tell Richard of the plans they had made.

Walking into his study she saw him bending over his desk looking through some papers. He was in his shirt and trousers but he had on braces today instead of a belt, something which she had never seen him wearing before. They made him look incredibly sexy, so much so that she forgot what she had come in for.

Turning around Richard saw Audrey standing by the door staring at him, "Are you alright darling?"

Snapping out of her daze Audrey replied "Oh yes darling, um come and sit down I have talked to your mother about her gentleman friend" taking his hand she lead him to the settee.

They sat down, Richard waiting for her to tell him what had happened with his mother.

"We've arranged for Mrs. Poo's friend to come over for dinner tomorrow, oh and I found out his name is Henry."

"Well done darling, it's about time we met this Henry"

Richard was then surprised when audrey started to loosen his tie "Darling?... What...What are you doing?"

Audrey couldn't take it anymore, he looked far too good in his braces, she just had to have him now. She rose to her knees on the settee and then straddled him. She grabbed his face bringing her lips to his in a heated kiss.

Richard didn't know what had come over his wife but he was more than willing to go along with it. He moved his lips to her neck sucking on the place he knew drove her wild.

His breath on her neck was hot and made her shiver all over. She clutched his hair pulling him back up to her taking his lips in a passionate open-mouthed kiss.

Richard wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer to him, Audrey's tongue played with his as she deepened the kiss her fingers running through his hair making it stick out at all angles. Richard ran his palms down her back to her bottom squeezing it gently.

"These braces really do something for me darling" she whispered breaking the kiss. She pushed them of his shoulders and down his arms, pulling his tie off then undoing his shirt buttons in a frenzy.

Richard moved a hand to unbutton her blouse leaving his other hand on her backside. Audrey rolled her hips over his arousal, groaning when she felt how hard he was. He grabbed her hips holding her to him, a groan escaping his mouth.

"Bedrich what time shall I invite..."

Audrey's head snapped around at the sound of Mrs. Poo's voice, she tried to remove herself from Richard's lap but he held her tight to his chest shielding her from view and hiding his own excitement beneath her.

Mrs. Poo walked into the study to find Audrey straddling her son on the settee both in a state of undress.

"Bedrich, what are you doing" she exclaimed shocked at the scene in front of her.

Richard couldn't think of what to say but then the words just came out before he could stop them "We're working on making you a grandmother, mother"

Audrey's eyes went wide as she turned her head to look at him, of all the things to say she thought he had said that. What on earth was his mother going to say to that she thought but then Mrs. Poo shocked her again.

"Oh well then carry on, I'll leave you to it" with that she left the room.

Audrey and Richard stared at each other before bursting out laughing.
