On the one hand Audrey couldn't believe what they had just done, she had never had relations with a man outside of the bedroom before, but she had never before in her life felt what she felt for Richard.
Yes he was an impossible man at times but he was also kind, generous and a gentleman and she loved him.
Richard was also thinking how right it had felt being with Audrey, she could be the most stubborn, infuriating woman but behind all that lay the most sweetest loving person. If he was honest with himself he had started to fall in love with her the moment he saw her and those feelings had only increased the more time he spent with her.
They adjusted their clothes and brushed the leaves and dirt from Richard's jacket, Audrey feeling a little naughty didn't put her nickers back on, instead she tucked them into Richard's trouser pocket making him grin at her before making their way out of the woods.
"People will be wondering where we've got to," Audrey said.
"It'll be alright, I'm sure Brabinger will make our excuses," he said as they neared the edge of the woods.
Richard grabbed her hand, tugging her back towards him, "Audrey, just one thing. If your tan is from a bottle, who did your back?"
"Brabinger, but don't worry next time you can do it," she said touching his nose with her index finger.
He grinned, "I'll look forward to that, when do you think you'll need my services?"
Audrey chuckled and checked her watch, "Oh, probably in about an hour,"
"You're a naughty woman Audrey,"
She shrugged her shoulders, "What can I say, you bring out the wild woman in me,"
