    Summary

    New restaurateur Kate Sharma is dreading a review from Anthony Bridgerton, a food critic at The Times who has a reputation for being sharp, quick, and a little too exacting.

    She thinks that one bad experience at her restaurant will send her reputation tumbling like a house of cards.

    But Anthony surprises her.

    And Kate slowly realises he’s none of those things at all.

    A restaurateur / food critic Modern AU.

    Summary

    "El — do you —" Penelope stutters, her body still, "— have an erection?"

    Eloise frowns. Her crotch is jammed into Penelope's hip, and when realisation dawns she lets out a sharp, bursting laugh. "It's my packer."

    Penelope frowns, her tits heaving underneath the diaphanous nightgown. Eloise can feel them brushing her torso with each gasped breath and she feels something spark and jitter through her body.

    "Your…" Penelope falters.

    Eloise gets off her and sits up on the couch. She spreads her arms wide over the back of it, sprawling with her legs apart. The bulge is satisfyingly obvious like this; Penelope's eyes drag straight to her jean-clad crotch, just as Eloise meant them to.

    "God, you're so straight," El laughs, as Penelope sits up uncertainly, kneeling on the couch cushions beside her. "It's easy to forget because of how little sex with men you have."

    Summary

    The gold clasp clicks. “There.”

    The necklace settles heavily around Penelope’s throat. It is rather short, the pearls pressing weightily against Penelope’s clavicle above the neckline of her simple dark blue uniform, and Penelope feels suddenly as if she is wearing not a necklace but a collar. A chain.

    Eloise’s eyes meet hers, and a soft little gasp escapes Penelope. Barely a breath, really, just the tiniest inhale, but Eloise’s sharp eyes catch it, lingering upon Penelope’s parted lips, and for some reason the young woman looks… pleased.

    A savage sort of triumph on her face, Eloise pulls away.

    Why is Penelope trembling so hard? She takes a deep, shaky breath.

    Summary

    “Hey Scully, you alright there?” comes a concerned voice from the other side of the door.
    She thinks about it carefully before answering. The water, a bit cooled now but still pleasantly warm, is covering her like a blanket, and the bubbles smell like Mulder’s ridiculous three-in-one shampoo. There is no wound in her chest, and the memory of the incident is fading like watercolors in the rain.
    “Yeah, I'm good," she replies, and means it.
