--
Colin stopped short when he re-entered the bedroom at the sight of his wife sitting at the edge of the bed, her legs crossed in front of her.
“God, you’re so fucking hot.”
When he reached her, he dropped down to his knees and leaned forward to kiss her. She spread her thighs to accommodate him, sliding her hands behind his neck and pulling him closer.
“What do you want?” he asked, his voice gravelly.
“Absolutely anything.”

Summary
Colin and Penelope hook up and shit gets complicated. But at least the sex is good.
--
Penelope was standing at the edge of a cliff, debating if she should fall. She knew he was baiting her. Why he was baiting her, she didn’t quite understand yet. At the end of the day, whether it was the alcohol, the endless sense of frustration, or moreso just the idea that she had nothing left to lose, she decided to leap.
“I wasn’t. I wasn’t thinking of them when I drank.”
Colin turned his head away from her and looked out at the street in front of them, a smile pulling at his lips. “No? Well that’s interesting.”
“Is it?”
He faced her again, taking half a step forward. “Who were you thinking of?” His eyes drilled into hers with surgical precision, the dark blue getting darker.
She took a deep breath, feeling the blood heating in her veins.
“You.”
“Me?”
She nodded pathetically, any attempts to be playful and witty blown away with the breeze.
“You want to fuck me, Pen?” His smirk was subtle, but wicked, his words sending a delicious zing down between her legs again where she throbbed at even the notion.

Summary
Penelope has spent half of her life alone in love with Colin Bridgerton. In an unexpected development, she finds herself falling into a friends with benefits relationship with his brother, Benedict.
When the entire Bridgerton family gathers at Aubrey Hall for Christmas, Penelope included, she finds herself caught up in trying to keep her encounters with Benedict hidden from the family, preventing her feelings for Colin from spilling over, and making it through the holiday with some semblance of dignity.
--
The guest room in Aubrey Hall was familiar to Penelope at this point. When she was younger, she’d share with Eloise every time they visited. She was always her plus one. After they graduated secondary school, Violet made a big deal about her having her own room for their annual summer visits and any other holidays Penelope joined for.
Moving around the room unpacking her items with a familiar cadence, she paused when she reached her toiletry bag. The box of condoms she’d hastily stashed in there stared back at her. Why had she packed them? This was absurd. She swore to herself she wouldn’t need them. That it was a family holiday and she was going to behave herself, not rouse suspicion.
