And before I start...a tip of the hat and a nod of the head to Art Buchwald, who inspired this little ditty with his piece "The Affair".

Anniversary by Mistress V.

Natalie's desk phone rang, jarring her from her work.
"Coroner," she mumbled into the receiver.
"This is Nick!" a desperate, throaty voice growled at the other end. "I have to see you...today!"
Natalie felt the color rush to her face. "My husband..." she stammered helplessly.
"Is at work!!!" Nick finished triumphantly. "I need you," he breathed raggedly. "Please."
Natalie considered. "I don't know," she hesitated. "It's our 6 month anniversary, and my husband would be suspicious if I wasn't...amorous. This could be dangerous for both of us."
"I'll take care of HIM if he gets in the way!" Nick almost shouted.
Natalie blushed. "Ok, ok," she whispered. "I take my dinner break in half an hour. Is that enough time?"
"Meet me at the hotel," he snarled, and the line went dead.

Natalie shivered as she drove through the deserted side streets. Their passion had goten very intense lately and she wondered where it could possibly lead.

Nick answered her rap at the door. Stark naked, he pulled her into an embrace, kissing her hungrily. His eyes were golden, his fangs completely descended.
"Take your ring off," he commanded. "You belong to ME now."   He and Natalie sank into a blood-red sea of passion.

"Do you have to go?" Nick asked as she struggled into her clothes.
"Yes, darling," she told him. "I can't be late, tonight of all nights."
They kissed good-bye greedily.
"Until we meet again, my sweet," he whispered. "I'll be thinking of it, lover," she replied, licking his lip.

"Well," Natalie sighed to Grace as she removed her gloves. "That's THAT for the night." She yawned. "I'm going home..."
Grace giggled. "Right on the dot, Dr. Nat. Married life sure agrees with you. Isn't it six months today? I've never seen anyone so devoted to her husband."
Natalie busied herself with her coat. Oh boy, if Grace only knew...

She opened the door to their home, trembling. Would he notice the guilty pleasure on her face? Hanging up her coat, she wandered into the living room.

Her husband was vegetating on the sofa, remote in one hand, glass in the other.

"Hi, honey." His blue eyes twinkled. "How was your day?"

"Oh, the usual..." Natalie smiled mysteriously.

Grinning wickedly, Nick pulled her onto his lap for a kiss.
