    “We could… maybe give it a try… you subbing, that is. You know, if you wanted to. It might help.”

    “I’m… not sure I know how to do that,” she murmured, even as the warmth of Carlos’ hands seeped through the thin straps of her tank top.

    “Me neither,” Carlos admitted with a chuckle, “Want to give it a try anyway?”

    Summary

    In an attempt to win his best friend back after putting her reputation in jeopardy at the Featherington ball last season, Colin offers to help Penelope in her quest to find a husband. They meet every week in the privacy of his home for a set of lessons to boost her confidence when interacting with eligible gentlemen.

    On Penelope's most recent visit, a mix-up in the kitchen has her accidentally consume a rather large portion of the tea he had acquired during his travels. While Colin desperately tries to ensure for her safety, Penelope appears to be determined to send him to an early grave as not only does she shake up his entire worldview with each new revelation, she would also not stop flirting with him, making it rather difficult to remember she was a lady and his friend.

    Or perhaps, she was a lot more than that...

    Summary

    “Read it again Pen,” Colin said softly.

    She looked back at him, eyes wide and blinking, biting her lower lip, drawing in his attention.

    Until today, not an impure thought had passed through his mind of Penelope. He suddenly felt like the wind was knocked out of him. His eyes snapped up to hers, her blue eyes wide and blinking rapidly. He wasn’t sure what to say. It felt like the air had changed around them. All he could think about was her in that moment. Touching her hair, caressing her cheeks, kissing her lips.

    He took a deep breath. He could not make sense of the impulses he was having, “please, read it again.”

    She swallowed, turned back to the page, and started reading it again. He listened to her sweet voice recite the words of Byron. Did she pick this poem on purpose? ‘How could she’ he reasoned, ‘she’s never seen this book, how would she know’. He was so lost in thought; he didn’t realize she had finished. He wasn’t ready for her to stop reading, what was the last part? She looked over at him again. Had she moved closer to him? Or was he leaning into her?

    “Again,” He said, wondering if she could hear him as it came out almost as a whisper.
