Summary
“This is…a bingo board,” Colin said slowly. He enjoyed the colouring—blue and yellow, somewhat complimentary, with black and cursive writing—appreciative of Penelope for taking the time to create such a thing, despite not knowing what it was supposed to represent or make him feel better.
“A sex bingo board,” she corrected, her heart pounding out of her chest in anticipation of his reaction, and by the looks of it, he was utterly confused.

Summary
“Look,” he says, his voice low, his eyes cast down. “You’re not, like, wrong, exactly.” His cheeks are flushed a delightful pink, and Penelope thinks, not for the first time, how good he would look in makeup. He has the features for it, cheeks begging for blush and those full lips. Long, fluttering lashes.
“Wh-what?” she stutters, the intoxication of having him this close making her lose it, just a little.
“Since Marina, I can’t… I can’t. You know. Finish.”
Penelope blinks at him. “Um. Okay.” She doesn’t know what to say.
“I kind of have this pretty specific thing I need to happen for me to, you know.” God, he’s still speaking. Colin Bridgerton is talking to her about his orgasm. The negronis are suddenly making themselves known in her limbs and chest. She feels woozy. Are they really talking about this? “And usually I have a way I manage it, but since Marina it’s just not working.” He bites his lip and for the first time since he leaned over the bar, his eyes flicker to hers nervously. “It’s actually making me go a tiny bit insane, I think.”
OR: Colin can't come. Penelope offers to help - as friends, of course.

It isn’t until Debling’s dark secret is exposed for the world (and the tabloids) to see that she begins to realise that maybe her resistance is futile. Especially when Colin is so set on supporting her through the worst time in her life. Will she be able to get through this whilst also keeping her already battered heart protected?

Summary
After Penelope confided in Colin that she was still a virgin at twenty four, he propositioned her for one great night together so she could finally overcome a hurdle that she felt had been holding her back. The idea of a week at Aubrey Hall turned into a complicated chain of events as Colin found himself suddenly grappling with his feelings for his best friend whose virginity he just took.
-
“You think you’ll regret losing your virginity to me?”
Summoning up as much courage as the moment called for, Penelope took a few steps forward.
“No. I’m worried that I won’t.”
Colin reached out for her. She saw him coming and still didn’t believe it when he placed his hands on her waist. She looked up at him, her light blue eyes shining in disbelief. His thumbs dug into her sides, massaging in soft circles.
“Kiss me, Pen.”

Summary
Eloise may be keeping a secret pregnancy, but Penelope has secrets of her own as well. Will they be able to keep their secrets from each other, and the rest of the Bridgertons, when Colin moves home from NYC for the first time since he was 18?
...
“Did you see Colin in New York?!” Hyacinth asked excitedly. At 14 years old, she hardly remembered a time where Colin had lived close by. She never had a chance to see him more than a few days a year. Naturally, she was curious about him and eager for any information about him.
“Duh, we stayed with him,” Eloise whined in response, slipping onto the stool in front of her and into her natural persona of annoyed older sister.
Hyacinth spun around to rummage for more serving dishes. “We basically didn’t see him for the first few days because he was working a lot but then he came out dancing with us on the weekend and then he wouldn’t leave us alone for the rest of the trip,” Eloise laughed. “We even tried to—”
“What are these?” Hyacinth asked as she slowly turned back with a large pink vitamin bottle in her hand. In her quest for more serving platters, she had accidentally stumbled upon the vitamin cabinet. Upon Eloise’s prenatal vitamins.Bookmarked by berry__blue
