Summary
Colin lives in Paris. And when Penelope comes to his city on her book tour, it's the first time they've seen each other in two years.
Penelope only has an hour or so before she has to take a train home, so they make the most of the time they have, wandering the city, catching up.
But what starts as two friends reconnecting quickly feels like something more. Something familiar. Something irresistible.
OR: a story of Polin in Paris, inspired by the Before Sunset movie.

Summary
“I, uh, guess I’ve put on a bit of weight?” He doesn’t know why it comes out as a question. He chews his cheek. “I suppose I hadn’t quite realised how much.”
His eyes dart away, not wanting to see the pity on her face. He knows he doesn’t have to say anything else and she will understand. She always does.
But she turns to face the mirror, her back pressed against him. “Colin,” she says softly, and he is forced to look back into the reflection.
“You have no idea, do you?” Her eyes regard his in the mirror, her lashes fluttering as she blinks at him. “How gorgeous you are. How much I want you.”

Summary
"How do we do it?" he said, his voice rough as she continued to feel him through his pants. He was painfully hard now, so still that he might rip the seams, pop the buttons, burst through the wool.
"Anything spoken is binding," she told him. "But I prefer to seal the deal with an exchange of bodily fluids."
"Blood?"
She giggled. "No. Something infinitely more enjoyable."
Of course. She was a succubus.

Colin Bridgerton is unsatisfied with his magic. Compared to his siblings, he feels rather useless. So, against every warning he'd ever heard from his father and eldest brother, he takes the family spell book and summons a demon.
The woman who arrives isn't exactly who he wanted, but he finds that she's precisely what he needs.
