Audrey felt her husband move his pillow again trying to get comfortable. She rolled over to face him to find his back was to her and he was moaning.
"Are you alright darling?"
"It's just so hot, I can't sleep" he groaned
Audrey rested her hand on his side leaning over him to kiss his cheek, he did feel hot. Richard turned on to his back looking at his wife.
"Aren't you hot darling?" He asked
"A little, you know when I was younger we had a very hot summer here and there was only one way to cool off."
"What was that?"
Audrey didn't reply instead she slid out of bed grabbed her dressing gown and put her slippers on.
"Audrey? What are you doing?"
"Come with me darling" she smiled handing him his dressing gown. He took it and then put his slippers on
"Where are we going?"
"To cool off, now come on" she grinned taking his hand.
She led him outside and along the paths of the estate and through a small gathering of trees before coming to a stop in front of the lake.
Still holding his hand she walked towards the edge of the water. She let go of his hand to undo her robe letting it drop to the floor and then removed her nightdress.
Richard was transfixed when he saw Audrey's naked figure turn towards him, feeling himself react he swallowed thickly.
"Darling don't you want to cool off?" She asked before stepping into the water and swimming out into the lake.
Richard was in shock at his wife's behaviour, she was constantly surprising him and he fell more in love with her everyday.
He took his clothes of as fast as he could running into the water after her. The water was lovely and cool and he no longer felt the heat of summer.
He swam out until he reached her grabbing her around the waist, crashing his lips on hers.
"Are you cooler now Richard?" She teased
"God Audrey, the things you do to me" he breathed his lips finding her neck.
"Oh darling" she gasped feeling the evidence of his excitement pressed against her leg. Her skin tingled as his hand slowly trailed lower down her stomach to between her legs. His fingers stroking over her sending shivers through her entire body.
He continued to nip and suck her neck and throat hearing her groan in pleasure at his efforts.
Audrey could take no more and wrapped her legs around his waist, her arms gripping his neck "Take me Richard, I need you darling" she begged.
He positioned himself at her opening gently nudging inside her. She had got him such a state he knew he wouldn't last long so he set a fast pace pressing his chest tightly against hers.
Audrey moaned at the sensation of his hairy wet chest pressed against her sensitive nipples, she was so close already it wouldn't take much to send her over the edge.
Richard knowing he was close brought his lips to her neck and bit down hard sending Audrey spiralling into an intense climax.
Feeling his wife tightening around him triggered his own release. He kept moving inside her prolonging their pleasure before coming to a stop.
"You constantly amaze me Audrey" he panted into her neck.
"I love surprising you darling it always has such wonderful results" she chuckled.
They stayed entwined together still in the lake letting the water cool them. After a while longer they left the water and got dressed. Richard took her hand and led her back towards the manor.
Madeleine saw the couple walking back to the manor across the lawn with a smile on her face. Their wet hair and grinning faces told her they had been to the lake. She never realised Audrey fforbes-Hamilton was so bold as to go for a midnight skinny dip. But she thought to herself Audrey fforbes-Hamilton was now Audrey DeVere and having seen them together in the last few days Audrey DeVere was far more adventurous.
