    Summary

    “We should date,” Colin said, putting his empty beer bottle on the table to join the rest of their empties.

    “What?” Penelope exclaimed, her blue eyes going wide as her heart thumped in her chest.

    This was her dream. This was a nightmare.

    “We should date for cuffing season,” Colin expanded, a grin slowly crossing his face as he became more enamored by his idea.

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton is nearly three and twenty and— according to his brothers— entirely too old to be a virgin. When they suggest bringing him to a brothel to gain some experience, he agrees; after all, he could certainly enter the establishment without engaging its services, and perhaps make Anthony and Benedict finally see sense. He couldn't have anticipated that Penelope Featherington would plop herself down in his lap, nor that he would start needing her so much.

    Summary

    “Colin!” Penelope shouts, her face lighting up with a smile that had to be a million or two watts, rivaling the brightness of the sun.

    “Pen,” he says, feeling some kind of weight drop from his shoulders, replaced by her when she jumps on him. Her arms wind around his neck and instinctively, he catches her, one hand on the back of her thigh and the other pressed against her lower back.

    “Fuck, I missed you,” she breathes.

    It’s exactly the homecoming he’d wished for. His heart takes off in his chest. She smells like vanilla and lavender, and her whole body is warm and wrapped around him, and he wonders if maybe they could stay like this for the rest of their lives, because God, he’s missed her, too.

    With his face buried in her neck, Colin murmurs, “Yeah, me, too.” Neither of them really let go, and he doesn’t want to read into it that much because—he doesn’t even know. Because he’s scared, maybe. Probably. Because he doesn't understand it and doesn’t want to. Because for all his exploration of caves and canyons, he isn’t sure he’s ready for whatever he’d find the second he reads the text of their friendship and discovers something hidden between the lines.
