Work Text:
When Colin "Powers" Bridgerton whispers, "Do I make you horny, baby?" to Penelope Featherington, he is expecting only one reaction.
This. Was. Not. It.
Penelope runs her hands all over her body to check for horns and says, "No, I don't think so!"
Then, he has absolutely no idea what to do with himself. She was supposed to say YES. So, he doesn't know what to do now.
He just stares at her, eyes wide and says, "Throw me a frickin bone here, Pen."
"But you already have 206 bones, Colin. What could you possibly need with another one?" Pen mused.
"Sex, Pe-ne-lo-pe. I want sex." he rasps.
"With a bone? I don't know how you are going do that, but, okay, I'll go grab you one," asks an extremely confused Pen, as she turns to leave to get a dog bone from the yard.
"What?? Wait!" Colin isn't sure how they got to this point in the conversation, "No! I don't want to have sex ... with a bone." Good gawd, where has he gone wrong? He decided to try a different approach.
Grabbing her her hand, and pulling her close, Colin looked her in the eyes and whispered, "I want to have sex with you, Penelope. Only you."
"Oh, Colin, why didn't you say so then?" Pen says as she starts taking off her shirt.
Colin decided he had to be more specific next time.
