    Summary

    Penelope is quiet for a long while after he nodded his head and confirmed he was inquiring about whether or not she has changed her mind about having a baby with him.

    "I…" she starts before swallowing once. "Well, I suppose as the years have gone on… I have imagined it a time or two, yes."

    Colin knows she is telling the truth, and for the first time in a long time, he is also able to read her and surmise there is more still she is holding back.

    "Is that something you wish for?" he asks cautiously. "A babe? One of your own?"

    Pen's big, pale blue eyes blink at him twice slowly before she starts nibbling on her lip in a decidedly nervous gesture. "That is… We did not… We married for other purposes. I do not expect—"

    "I am not asking what you expect," he interrupts, keeping his tone gentle, though, so as not to scare her out of this spell of vulnerability he's found her in tonight. "I am asking simply what you desire for yourself. Do you want a baby, Pen?"

    "Yes."

    --

    Or, regency era Penelope and Colin have been in marriage of convenience for five years and decide to have a child together—platonically of course.

    Summary

    Colin and Penelope hook up and shit gets complicated. But at least the sex is good.

    --

    Penelope was standing at the edge of a cliff, debating if she should fall. She knew he was baiting her. Why he was baiting her, she didn’t quite understand yet. At the end of the day, whether it was the alcohol, the endless sense of frustration, or moreso just the idea that she had nothing left to lose, she decided to leap.

    “I wasn’t. I wasn’t thinking of them when I drank.”

    Colin turned his head away from her and looked out at the street in front of them, a smile pulling at his lips. “No? Well that’s interesting.”

    “Is it?”

    He faced her again, taking half a step forward. “Who were you thinking of?” His eyes drilled into hers with surgical precision, the dark blue getting darker.

    She took a deep breath, feeling the blood heating in her veins.

    “You.”

    “Me?”

    She nodded pathetically, any attempts to be playful and witty blown away with the breeze.

    “You want to fuck me, Pen?” His smirk was subtle, but wicked, his words sending a delicious zing down between her legs again where she throbbed at even the notion.

    Summary

    Every December Colin sends his friend Penelope a fun advent calendar – something silly toys or tasty treats. It’s their thing. A little tradition which started years ago.

    Only this year when the calendar arrives Penelope’s heart stops. Her brain melts. Her whole world turned on its head.

    This calendar didn’t contain toys or treats. This calendar didn’t contain anything at all, except written suggestions.

    Sexy suggestions.

    Because apparently her friend Colin had decided to send her a sexy advent calendar for horny couples.

    “I can’t believe after all these years this is how he tells you he’s down to fuck.” Gen laughs like a maniac. “I’m not sure if he’s smooth or psychotic?”

    “Shut the fuck up, Gen! Shut the fuck up.”

    She needs to concentrate.

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington did not expect her debut to go well.

    She certainly did not expect to be caught studying an entirely inappropriate ceiling fresco.

    And she definitely did not expect Colin Bridgerton to notice.
