Work Text:
Colin paces around his study. Despite being the third born, his father and siblings had been diligent to teach him the basics of managing a household and the ledgers. Unfortunately, it seems like no amount of training could prepare him for the kind of mess like the Featherington estate.
Stack of papers are in the corners of his desk and a few papers are on the top of the ledger. This is ridiculous, someone must create an employment for a person to balance this kind of ledgers and manage the finances.
It seems that the new Lord Featherington felt his ire as the baby in his arms grunts, feining a cry.
"Ohh.. Hush Thomas. I am here my love." Colin cradles the baby in his arms. He started humming his favorite song.
🎶"Come stop your crying, it will be alright. Just take my hand, hold it tight.
I will protect you from all around you. I will be here, don't you cry."
Penelope watched them from the gap of the opened door, her heart melted by the way Colin looks lovingly as he sings to Thomas and how his little son grabbed his Papa's thumb.
She could not wait till the little performance is over before she opens the door wider and comes in. "Is everything well?"
"Never better." Colin smiles but Penelope could see that it does not reach his eyes. She knows how worried he has been since Thomas was born and the finances are still unkept.
"Really?" She raises a brow.
Colin sat on his seat behind the desk, he puts Thomas on a sitting postion on his lap. "We are.. singing." He changes the subject and kissed Thomas' cherubic cheeks.
🎶"For one so small, you seem so strong." He raises his tiny fist up in the air.
🎶"My arms will hold you. Keep you safe and warm." Colin hugged him tight. Thomas coos and giggles.
"Oh he is so happy, Papa." Penelope grins.
"What can I say? He is a happy baby." He bounces him on his lap.
"Should I get him while you work?" Penelope offers.
"No, love. He is learning." With one hand, Colin flips a page and points on the writings. "See this Thomas? This my love.. is from the modiste." Thomas stares at the paper his father is pointing at. "We buy Mama her dresses even though Papa likes her without one."
"Colin!" Penelope gasps but she giggles. "Stop teaching him those."
"You can go now, my love. Thomas and I will be fine. Go enjoay with my sisters." Colin offers.
Penelope stood up. How lucky she is to have a supportive husband, she bends on the table to give Thomas and Colin a kiss. "I shall see you later. Okay?"
Penelope left for the afternoon tea of the ladies at the Bridgerton House while Colin and Thomas finishes off the review of the ledgers the whole afternoon.
Soon enough, the sun almost sets in and Penelope had to go home.
Penelope had planned this night perfectly in her head, Rae and a wet nurse shall be on Thomas' side through out the night so that she could spend time with her husband.
It had been five months since the birth of the new Lord Featherington and their lives have significantly changed. One of the most important aspect of her life that took a toll is her marriage with Colin.
Admittedly, Colin had been supportive and have acted nothing but a perfect husband and father to her and Thomas. However, the physical aspect of their marriage remained stagnant. It started with being celibate to allow her body to recover from birthing a large baby but it then progressed to them not being able to make a move on one another.
Marking the fifth month, Penelope had grown weary that something is a miss. That is why she ensured that tonight will be the night they will restart.
She peeked at the nursery and saw Colin soothing their child again. "Husband."
Colin faces her and smiles. "Wife." he walks to her and dipped his head for a chaste kiss. "He's about to sleep."
"I'll change now. Could you.. could you change then go to our bed after putting down Thomas?" Penelope asks while kissing the baby's bald head.
Colin blinks, it had been a while since Penelope had been assertive. "Oh.. uh.. Sure, my love."
"Good." Penelope tip toed and plants a kiss on his jaw. She walks away and asked Rae to help her to clean and dress up.
After a while, Penelope looks at herself in the mirror. She is wearing her blue and lavander gradient robe and she knows beneath that is her surprise to Colin. It took a big leap of faith for her to do this given the insecurities that came up with the changes in her body plus the fact that they had not been intimate for five months.
She walks to find Colin but she surprisingly found him at the guest bedroom. Wearing only his breeches and linen shirt, he seems to be asking Dunwoody to shave him.
Penelope cleaes his throat. "Dunwoody. You may leave."
Dunwoody looks at Colin then at Penelope then back at Colin. "Uh.. Yes, Ma'am." He bowed and lets himself out.
"Pen.. I.. uh.." Colin shifts the way he sat on the chair. "I was about to ask him to shave me. Thomas was unhappy with my stubble."
"Let me.." Penelope grabs the straight razor.
"Ooooh. I heard that one before." Colin wiggles his brows. "And that time you injured me."
"I did not!" Penelope stuck out her tongue. "It wasn't my fault that you injured yourself from brooding!" She went near him.
"Just afraid what my friend could have read in my journal." He blushes.
"Afraid she sees how big of a rake you are?" She surprised Colin by straddling his lap.
"Afraid.. that she sees what I've written about her." Colin lifts his chin up to give Penelope some space.
Penelope started shaving him. "Hhhmm... which ones?"
Colin tries not to giggle. "The one where he is brooding and thinks her eyes are thousand times more prettier than the ocean."
Penelope wipes the portion she has shaved with a washscloth and kissed the bare skin. "What else?"
"The one where the neighbor boy rereads every novel she likes just to get a glimpse of her mind once again."
Penelope could feel the tension between them, making her quick to finish the task. "I am almost done."
"I can see that." Colin looks at her with his eyes full of lust, she knows this look from him.
"Colin.. "
"I shall repay your kindness." Colin grabs the razor and washcloth from her hands and placed it on the table. He suddenly stood up, carrying her in his arms.
Their staring contest remained uninterrupted until she noticed that they are already in their bedchambers and Colin had dropped her gently, making her stand and face the bed.
Colin sat at the edge of the bed. "I'll unwrapped you now." His eyes twinkles in excitement as he unties the ribbon of her robe and takes it off slowly.
"I am ready for you to see me naked." Penelope gulps.
"Good." His jaw dropped once he realized that she is indeed naked except for the curious piece of clothing covering her quim. "What is that?"
Penelope smiles. "Genevieve gave it to me." Penelope shows the intricate design of the underwear, a butterfly in green.
"But.. it is open.. here." Colin touches her exposed slit.
"For your.. mouth.. fingers.. all of you." Penelope said with her breath hitching.
Colin excitedly moves and lays on the bed, flat on his back. "On my face.. now."
The curiousity and shock broke the spell of being in control for Penelope. "Wha..what?"
"You have not done it yet. I wanted to try. I want it now." Colin gulps, swiping a thumb on his lips. "Come now, wife."
Penelope gathered the courage and crawls to the bed. "Colin.. I have not lost all the pregnancy weight. What makes you think-"
"You are perfect." He swipes his tongue around his lips.
"I am heavy. You cannot die!"
"I'll die a happy man on your quim." He jokes.
"Colin." she warns.
"I am not fragile. Come now, Penelope." He said in a husky voice.
Penelope gently hover over Colin's face but she was surprised when he pulled her down and her quim perfectly lands on his mouth.
"Oh. God." Overwhelmed with how warm his mouth is, Penelope have forgotten what she is scared about the act. Her hand grabs on to the headboard.
Colin grips her thighs while he laps on her folds, his tongue grazing her nub.
"Colin.." Penelope tipped her head back. "More."
Colin twirls his tongue around her swollen nub, his one hand finds her slit and gently tease her opening.
"Coliiiiin." Penelope almost pulled herself up but Colin pulled her right back down, his two digits finding its way inside her.
"There.. Oh there.." One of Penelope's hand made its way to her tits, squeezing each before focusing on playing a pebbled nipple.
Colin looks up at her enjoying the view, he pulled out his finger and rubs her nub. He darted his tongue inside her, feeling her walls squeeze it each time it moves.
Penelope tugs her nipple then rolls it between her fingers. "Colin.. please.."
Colin played her nub mercilessly, his tongue thrusting inside her.
"No...no.. I need your cock." Penelope groans in lust. "Please."
Colin stopped and looks at her. "You're ready for.."
"I am ready... please?" Penelope rocks her hips onto his face.
Colin taps her ass, signaling her to move.
Penelope moved and hovered over his cock, she gave a surprised look when her hand found his rock-hard cock. "Bloody hell, Colin!"
"That happens when you're into celibacy." He winks, thrusting his hips on to her hand.
Penelope winks at him as her other hand touches her quim, wetting her palm with her own juices before using it to pump his cock again, coating every inch of him with her wetness.
"Fuck.. Pen."
"You will." Penelope grins smugly.
"Now, please."
Penelope nods, lining his hard cock at the entrance of her quim. Her warm walls clenched him as she burries him whole inside her.
"You feel so good." Colin's hand touches the soft of her belly. "So beautiful."
Penelope moans. "I miss you inside me."
"I know.. but you have to move now." Colin squeezed her thighs, his fingernails digging on her skin.
Penelope touches his chest, anchoring herself on it. She moves her hips in a circular motion, feeling him in all angles.
Colin squeezed her thighs again. "Move. Or I'll pound you till you see stars."
Penelope nods and starts to ride him. She moves up and down, plopping herself hard back down each time. The air was filled with the sound of skin slapping onto each other and squelches from their union.
"Colin.. " Penelope moans. "I would not last much-"
Her words were cut off by Colin lifting her by her thighs, he thrusts upward, pounding into her. "Touch yourself."
Penelope found her nub and rubs it while Colin is hitting him raw. "I ca...can't" She tries to keep her eyes open, her mouth agape as the feelings overhelms her.
"Let go, my love." Colin says in between grunts.
A hard thrust hits something in her and made her shatter on top of him, she moans loudly as she came and fall on top of him.
"Pen.. fuck.." Colin continues to pound into her as he seek his own release, the quevering of Penelope's walls finally made him reach his ends, shooting all his seeds inside her.
Both panting from their release, the couple hugs each other tight. "You .. are so.. so.. beautiful.. Do not forget that." Colin said in between pants.
Penelope nods, her head stays on the crook of his neck. "I am reminded now." She kissed his jaw. "I love you."
"God, I love you." Colin lifts her chin and kissed her.
Reality sinks in and Penelope abruptly sat up. "Colin.. you came inside."
Colim chuckles. "I know. I am still inside." He points down.
"Colin." Penelope gulps. "We could get pregnant."
"Ow.." Colin sat up straight, holding Penelope. "I am sorry, Pen. I suppose I should've asked. We have always done it that way." He gulps.
"I guess.. I wanted it as well." She cups his face. "It is fine."
Colin smiles. "I guess Thomas wants a sibling."
"He didn't say that!" Penelope playfully hits his chest.
Colin rubs her back. "I am sorry for making you insecure. I was trying to protect you from me."
"From you?"
"Yes. My wife had just given birth to a big child. To be honest, I am quite unsure how long of a rest would you need." Colin admits.
"Why did you not try?"
"I felt like I will savage you once you say yes." He blushes. "Sometimes I want to rip your clothes and pound you senseless."
Penelope gulps. "I like that."
"Well. I know that now." Colin winks and kissed her lips gently.
"We can start." Penelope rolls her hips, testing if his cock would respond.
"Are you sure?"
"I told a wetnurse.. and Rae to stay for the night. I am all your." She grinds on him harder.
"All fucking mine." Colin manuevers her and flipped her on the bed. "All night."
