    Summary

    “There,” he says, and it is maddening having her behind him, unable to see his face. His voice reveals so little. “You must try to wiggle out of the dress and the petticoat whilst I remove your stays.”

    “My - my stays?” she squeaks. “Surely there is no need - ”

    He lays a hand upon her shoulder, and it is so hot through the gauzy cotton of her chemise. She wonders if he is not feverish too. “They are soaked through, and it is not good to have the dampness so close to your lungs. Better to have them off.”

    She supposes she should argue, but she knows that it matters not if she is in her stays or her chemise or completely bare, at this point. If anyone ever found out about this, her reputation would be ruined either way.

     

    After begging Colin for a kiss, Penelope finds herself trapped with him during a snowstorm on the way to Aubrey Hall. THERE'S ONLY ONE BED PEOPLE

    Summary

    “Hey,” Colin said sheepishly, anxiously brushing his hand behind his neck. “I’ll take your virginity if — you know — if you want me to.”

    Platonic sex, sex between friends, friends having platonic sex.

    It won’t be a problem, right?

     

    Or the classic: ‘I’ll take your virginity but don’t fall in love with me” finds everything they’re looking for in a person who ‘just wants to get over with having sex for the first time so they can get over the mental hurdle and start dating around.”

    Summary

    Penelope and Colin haven't been friends in six years. Not after his cruel words. Not after her personal attack in the aftermath. Hate seems to come easy for the two of them, the simplest alternative to a once-special friendship.

    There's nothing Colin loves more than goading Pen into a fight. And if she's going to be a brat about it? Well, then he's going to have to teach her a lesson.

    Over, and over, and over again.

    AKA the one where lemon desserts keep leading to depravity in the various Bridgerton homes.
