Getting Richard out of the house so she could have the piano delivered and hidden until Christmas Day proved a very difficult task for Audrey. Even Mrs Poo had tried to help but in the end she had suggested Audrey used her feminine charm to distract him.

This suggestion had given Audrey an idea. While on honeymoon Richard had confessed to her that seeing her in black stockings had long been a fantasy of his. So today she had decided to make his fantasy a reality. Now she stood in their bedroom with nothing on but black stockings and her pink robe waiting for Richard to appear.

It was just after lunch when she had feigned a headache, telling her husband she was going for a lie down and asking him to come and wake her in half an hour.

Thirty minutes later the bedroom door opened and Richard cautiously stepped inside trying not to wake her.

But the sight that greeted him was not of his wife asleep in bed. Audrey was in the middle of the room wearing her robe and looked the picture of health no headache in sight.

"Darling?" He asked uncertainly

"Don't look so worried darling, I just told a little white lie so I could make one of your fantasy's come true." she said this as she untied her robe and let it slide off her shoulders to the floor to reveal she wore nothing underneath but the black stockings.

Richard's mouth dropped open as he gaze travelled over her. His trousers tightening immediately as he eyes feasted on her.

Pleased with his reaction Audrey came to stand in front of him her hands running up his chest, when Richard didn't move she took his chin in her hand directing his eyes to hers.

"You can touch darling" she whispered

Snapping out of his daze Richard placed his hands on her hips, moving them down to her backside, massaging the flesh there and bringing her body flush to his letting her feel the effect she had on him.

He swept her up into his arms walking towards their bed throwing her on to it. Audrey laughed as she bounced on the mattress.

Richard undressed quicker than he ever had before and got on the bed with her. When Audrey was about to remove the stockings he stopped her.

"No darling I want you to keep them on while I make love to you."

Audrey nodded and laid back on the bed, Richard settled his wait on top of her, covering her mouth with his, her tongue stroking his as she deepened the kiss.

Richard tore his mouth from hers placing open mouthed kisses to her throat, moving lower to kiss the curve of her breasts. Then he took a nipple into his mouth his tongue swirling around the erect bud.

A loud bang from outside made him release her from his mouth and lift his head at the noise.

"Did you hear something darling" Richard panted

"No, don't stop Darling" she said tugging his head back down to her breasts. She groaned as he took her nipple into his mouth again arching her head back in pleasure. Grasping at his head she pulled him back up to her face taking his lips in a heated kiss

When Richard moaned she tipped them both over to lay on their sides still pressed tightly together.

Richard ran his hand down her leg pulling it up to wrap around his waist. Their mouths were still locked in a passionate kiss as his hand stroked along her thigh leaving a trail of goosebumps.

Audrey pulled her head back and looked into his eyes "I need you darling"

Richard brought his forehead to rest against her's as he positioned himself at her opening whispering "I need you too darling always" before he slowly entered her.

Still on their sides with her leg around his waist and their arms wrapped around each other they moved together slowly, eyes locked on each other's.

Their movements gradually increased until their pace became frenzied, still maintaining their eye contact as Audrey cried out reaching her release. She continued to move with her husband looking into his eyes as he followed her over the edge moments later, groaning as he spilled deep inside her.

Richard tightened his hold on her touching his forehead to hers.

"Well darling how did that compare with your fantasy?" Audrey panted

"The reality beat the fantasy my darling" Richard said as he gave her a gentle kiss

Exhausted by their exertions they both drifted of to sleep wrapped in each other's arms.

While Audrey was upstairs with Richard, Brabinger had directed the placement of the piano into a spot behind the staircase where nobody could see it. It would be safe there until Christmas Eve.

Brabinger loved Christmas but this year he thought to himself might just be the best Christmas yet at Grantleigh.
