They had decided to stick to tradition and played sardines in the evening, Mrs Poo and Henry were playing and Brabinger and all the staff were joining in.

Richard and Audrey were sitting in complete darkness inside the broom cupboard his arm around her shoulders pulling her tightly against his side in the confined space they were in.

Audrey's hand had settled on his chest, their faces so close she could feel his breath against her cheek. She ran her hand up his chest until her fingers settled on his cheek and her lips found his.

Richard responded immediately crushing her to him delighting in the feeling of her breasts pressed to his chest, his hand found its way inside her blouse cupping a breast through the thin silky material of her bra before delving beneath touching her skin.

Feeling his warm hand on her Audrey kissed him harder before pulling back "This isn't how you play sardines Richard" she breathed.

"This is the Czechoslovakian version" he teased

"Is it? Well I like this version darling" she grinned finding his lips again. Her hand that had been resting on his hip now moved down stroking his thigh.

Richard groaned kissing her harder, he parted his lips and slid his tounge along the edge of hers.

She responded by taking his tongue into her mouth letting hers touch his.

When he heard her moan the sound made him want to take her right there. But what if they were found he thought to himself. It would be very embarrassing for both of them.

He pulled away from her "Audrey we shouldn't not in here"

"Please darling, no one will find us in here" she panted.

Finding his hand she gripped it tightly guiding it up her thigh, past her underwear and settled it on her mound. He crushed his lips to her unable to stop himself. Moving his fingers down over her he felt how wet she was, he inserted two fingers into her as she moved against him.

Audrey moaned while he kissed her, his tongue plunging into her mouth. Pulling his lips from hers he panted "God Audrey I've no control with you I want you so much darling..."

She reached for his fly undoing the button and tugging the zip down, her hands slipping inside his boxers freeing him before she pulled her skirt up and removed her underwear. She then positioned him at her entrance

Richard entered her slowly letting her feel every inch of him as he slid inside her, his hand guided her leg around his hip.

Tearing his lips from hers he pressed his cheek to hers "You feel so good darling...ahh..."

In response she licked his ear "So do you darling" her hand grasped the back of his neck fingers playing with the ends of his hair.

Audrey arched her back as he plunged deeper, her teeth nipped at the flesh of his neck making him move faster.

Feeling herself nearing the edge of release she pulled his head down to her breasts as she shuddered around him and cried out. Richard followed her soon after.

He slumped against her trying to catch his breath. Above his head Audrey whispered "From now on we play the Czechoslovakian version of sardines".

Richard chuckled pulling away from her "I agree totally my darling" he said gently kissing her.

"Come on let's sort ourselves out then go and have a drink they must of forgotten about us up here" Audrey said

At that moment they heard noise outside the door and then voices. It was Mrs Poo and Henry and they sounded like they were standing right outside the door.

"They must be in here we've looked everywhere else" they heard Mrs Poo say to Henry.

Audrey quickly pulled her skirt down while Richard did up his fly, they almost looked presentable when the door began to open. As the light filtered in Richard noticed Audrey's underwear on the floor, reaching down he swiped them up and put them in his breast pocket.

"Ah see I told you, here they are" Mrs Poo smiled

"You found us Mother well done"

Mrs Poo pointed at her sons forhead "Bedrich you're sweating, what have you been up to?"

Richard's hand touched his forehead feeling the sweat there, reaching into his pocket for his hanky he forgot that he'd put Audrey's underwear in there.

He wiped his head and then realised he had used her underwear, he looked at Audrey, a blush was creeping up her cheeks as she realised he was holding her underwear in plain view. Her eyes were then firmly fixed on the floor in total embarrassment.

Richard turned back to his mother.

"I...Well...um..." he stuttered.

Mrs Poo had a grin on her face "There is an saying in old Czechoslovakia...It does not matter what you do in the bedroom as long as you don't do it in the street and frighten the horses"

Taking Henry by the arm she led him to the door "Come on Henry lets go and have some sherry and mince pies"

The second the door closed Richard turned to Audrey not knowing what to say, as she lifted her face from the floor she began to giggle before she burst out laughing.
