    Summary

    When his best friend Penelope has her baby, Colin Bridgerton finds himself sliding into a sweet sort of domesticity beside them. That's okay, isn't it? People can be platonic step-fathers.

    Yeah. Everything is really great, actually.

    Until Penelope jokes about him drinking her breast milk.

    Summary

    Shaking off the daze, he becomes aware that Anthony is staring at him through the mirror pensively, eyes bobbing up and down from his chest to his eyes. “You should probably tell her you have feelings for her before you show her that.”

    “Feelings?” Colin turns to look at his brother.

    “You cannot be this dense, Colin,” Anthony says, expression deadpan.

    “Dense about what?” Colin says exasperatedly. “It’s just a tattoo. I already have a bunch of them. Besides, I think she’ll find it funny.”

    “You wanna tell a joke? Send her a meme. You don’t get a tattoo of her name.” Anthony rolls his eyes and shakes his head, which, to be fair, is what he does at most of the things Colin says anyway.

    or; the one where colin get's pen's name tattooed and realizes he's in love with her.

    Summary

    “Can we be closer?”

    “How much closer?” His eyes, blue and dark and watching her so intently, make her feel too vulnerable. But she might start crawling up the walls if she can’t get a handle on this, and that makes her braver than she ever thought she would be. She shifts, rocking her hips forward, watching his response, the way his mouth parts with a sigh and his fingers tighten against her hips. “You want me inside you?”

     

    She knows she’s blushing; she wilts against him. Her tits press into his chest and his breath is hot along her jaw when she leans in and drags her nose along his temple. “I’ll be so still, so good,” she whispers, a barely-there plea for him to anchor her somehow. “Like maybe,” she explains, “if you fill me up, I won’t have any room to think about anything else.”

    or; friends help friends

    Summary

    At Penelope's 30th Birthday celebration at Aubrey Hall, some unexpected news throws her for a loop. This causes her to divulge her greatest wish to the man she trusts most, leading to a conversation that ends up changing both of their lives.

    -----------

    “And you are going to start a fire on the carpet with your frantic pacing. What is wrong?”

    There was a plan, she had a plan, exact, nice words that were carefully chosen to save embarrassment if it came to it. Such a pity it was when they were completely abandoned when she looked up and straight into his stormy blue eyes, blurting out exactly the thing that had been swirling around her mind all night.

    “I wish to be a mother, and I wish for you to help me”

    Summary

    "I want your help."

    Her eyes meet his. They're too fucking blue, dark and deep and surrounded by long, pretty lashes.

    "Help writing?" She imagines late nights standing behind him as he writes by the glow of his laptop, bending down so their cheeks hover with only warm inches of air between them. Letting her chin rest on his shoulder for a second, her nails tapping the screen. Feeling his breath hitch as she presses herself to him. She shifts in her seat and tries to pull herself together.

    He shakes his head. "No. Help with the sex."

    She laughs. It startles out of her in a bubble. "You want me to help you find someone to shag?" she asks incredulously, raking her fingers through her tangled curls (she was too hungover this morning to brush them properly).

    But Colin doesn't laugh, and his eyes don't leave hers. "No. I want to shag you." He grimaces. "I've never said that word before."

     

    Or Virgin Professor Bridgerton asks his colleague Penelope for some help...
