The Penny Quandry

Friday Night, 9:00pm

Sheldon's reading material had dramatically changed over the past few days, it was Friday night, Penny was working later at The Cheesecake Factory, which gave Sheldon some time alone, they have been together almost every waking hour since their eventful Tuesday night; Leonard was also absent from the apartment.

The physicist sat in his spot on the sofa, the TV on in the background, but his attention was fixed on the book before him, it was one he had purchased not long ago, Amazon Prime was definitely one of his best investments. Sheldon read the book red-faced; determined to continue, despite the uncomfortable nature of the material. The current chapter was aptly titled: the wonders of oral sex; luckily for the man the first paragraph explained what oral sex was and the various forms it could be played out. The man had of course learnt about this through his distasteful friendship group and through the awkward lessons back in school, but this book was a helpful indicator and refresher. Sheldon snapped the book closed, breathing heavily, his attention finally turning to the programme on TV, regretting the decision instantly; a rather scandalous and erotic Game of Thrones episode, the man lurched forward, quickly flicking the channel over to the crime network and a rather gruesome murder case, the perfect distraction.

The man watched the drama over enthusiastically, analysing every detail in an attempt to distract the nature of his thoughts. He could almost feel the books presence as he tried to focus on the rather sketchy crime programme, they were always so predictable, like Scooby-Doo.

The book once again found its way into the man's now sweaty hands, he continued through the chapters, moving onto even more embarrassing ones. Eventually Sheldon reached the penultimate chapter; which was rather poorly named in Sheldon's opinion, but this chapter was the first that clearly described about how to prepare for and initiate sex, something he was definitely lacking in.

Sheldon's cheeks couldn't have been redder if he tried, his mouth became increasingly drier the deeper into the chapter he got, the tightness in his trousers also increasing. The man looked down at the bulge, contemplating on whether or not to do what the book had suggested in the 'Discovering what you like' chapter. His hand reached down, undoing his belt and zipper, relieving some of the pressure, swallowing down the lump that had formed in his throat. He placed the bookmark on the page he was reading, setting it down on the coffee table.

Sheldon sat for what could have been 5 minutes or 25 minutes, staring at the bulge in his underwear, he understood the concept of what it was most men did, but Sheldon had never ever done it, he had never felt the urge, and it was far too unclean for him, but after the past few days he was finding it harder and harder to resist, especially after the night at Penny's, both naked in the shower, hugging, kissing – the man took a deep breath, his manhood twitched at the memory, a shiver running up his spine, how could he not want to take things to the next stage with Penny, he was finding it impossible to resist her or his human urges.

Sheldon's Vulcan hearing soon picked up on footsteps in the hallway and he panicked, leaping from the sofa, running to his room, quickly stuffing the book under his pillow, returning to the living room, hearing a door shut; Penny must be home, he sighed, relieved it wasn't Leonard. Butterflies began to stir in the man's stomach as he thought about the woman, his mind pointing out he had gained new knowledge that he could put to the test and he quickly swatted the thought. He stood in the middle of the apartment, contemplating whether or not to go over to Penny's place. Before he realised his body was reacting on its one and without thinking the man was striding across the hallway; the usual three knocks at the door along with rather husky calls for Penny. It didn't take long for the woman to answer.

"Hey Sheldon." She smiled, still in her uniform. The man hesitated, his mind foggy with what he could only presume was lust and testosterone, he reached out, pulling the woman's face to his, his lips crushing against hers with some newfound passion and want, he took Penny's breath away, this was very un-Sheldon-like; he was a hot, horny mess. Sheldon moved one of his hands from the woman's face, sliding it down her neck, her chest and then snaked it around her waist, pulling her body flush against his, his hand finally reaching round to grip her bum; a very bold move indeed. Their lips parted for the briefest of moments, their foreheads gently pressed against one another.

"I missed you," Sheldon panted, Penny equally breathless, her fingers gripped the fabric at his collarbone, half out of frustration he had pulled away and half out of swooning.

"I missed you too." Sheldon panicked as he regained some control over his lust-addled mind, releasing Penny. She looked at him questioningly, her brow furrowing. The man took a couple of deep breathes, offering the woman a small, apologetic smile. "H-how was your day?" he asked, fidgeting.

"It was busy, glad to be home." Penny was slightly annoyed, Sheldon's kisses and exploring had excited her and now he was back to his usual refrained self. "Do you want to come in?" Sheldon hesitated, looking back at his apartment then down at his watch. He wanted very much to go over to Penny's, but he was scared what he would do, he had never been so intimate with another human and he didn't want his newfound lust to ruin things with Penny. He was also petrified that he wouldn't be good enough for the woman; she was far more experienced than he was. He had come over with bold and exciting intent and had completely chickened out.

Penny grabbed the man's wrist, dragging him into her apartment, kicking her door shut, pushing Sheldon against it, making sure it was locked. Before Sheldon knew what was happening he felt the delicate fingertips of Penny's hand brushing against his jeans, his eyes wide, staring at the woman. Sheldon was still, like a rabbit in headlights, utterly shocked. Penny's lips pecked at Sheldon's encouragingly, her fingertips still exploring the bulge in his jeans, the feeling was unlike anything he had ever felt, he was finding it hard to concentrate on anything but what the woman was doing. He argued with himself, shouting at himself to move or do something, but he didn't know what to do.

His state of paralysis seemed to suddenly lift and his hands reached out to snake around Penny's waist, pushing her against him, his tongue coming out to greet the woman's, the sound Penny made when he did was almost enough to send him over the edge, his legs were turning to jelly. The man pushed the woman away suddenly, his face bright red, he wanted Penny very much, and it was obvious she wanted him. Sheldon grabbed the woman's hand, guiding Penny towards her bedroom, turning so his knees knocked against the bed, causing him to gently fall onto the soft mattress and bedding, pulling Penny on top of him, she adjusted herself so she was straddling his thighs. They were both bright red with what could have been lust or pure embarrassment, Sheldon wasn't good at this kind of thing, whereas Penny could have been considered an expert. Penny suddenly moved, pushing herself against the man's bulge. Sheldon squeezed his eyes shut as she rocked back and forth, causing his pulse to quicken and blood to run the wrong way.

Penny reached forward, bringing her lips to his ear.

"I didn't realise you missed me this much," She whispered, her tongue flicking out to lick the lobe, her hand reaching between them to brush against Sheldon. The man squirmed beneath her, Penny's name getting caught in his throat. Penny had waited a long time to have Sheldon like this; she was surprised he had been the one to initiate, but now she wasn't going to let this opportunity to pass.

Shaking hands began to trail up the man's stomach, pushing the fabric of his clothes up his body and eventually over his head. Despite his lanky appearance Sheldon was deceptively muscular, not what she was used to, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless. The man's hands reached out to grip the woman's hips, encouraging her to grind against him, like she had been before.

Both froze when there was a knock at the door. Penny groaned, about to get up, Sheldon's grip on the woman's hips tightened, pushing her down on him again.

"Leave it." He panted, thrusting his hips as he pulled Penny onto him, moaning at the feeling of the woman been against him; the noise that escaped Penny's lips was equally encouraging. Penny did as she was told, ignoring the knocking at the door and lent down, kissing Sheldon desperately, continuing to grind against him, her movements becoming more desperate and frenzied. Penny placed her palms against Sheldon's chest, pushing herself up and off of the man, crawling down his body before reaching down to undo Sheldon's jeans. The man brought his hands to his face, covering his eyes, feeling the cool air on his most intimate area, he sucked in a gasp.

Sheldon's eyes flew open, his hands flying out to the side to grip something as Penny lowered herself slowly down onto him, feeling the foreign warmth and tightness around him. His heart rate had shot through the roof and he was desperately trying to stay calm and remember how to breathe, unable to hold back the moan that escaped his lips as Penny convulsed around him as she adjusted to his size.

The pair were still for what seemed like forever, Penny waiting patiently for Sheldon to adjust and get used to the feeling so he didn't finish, despite her own desire to ride him until she did. She raised herself slightly; watching Sheldon's face wrinkle in silent concentration, sliding back down and watching his face relax again. Penny moaned as she sheathed the man completely inside her, beginning to gently rock back and forth; Sheldon's mouth fell open in response, his back arching slightly in response. The man ran his hands up Penny's thighs, weaving them beneath her skirt, resting them on her hips, trying desperately to remember what the book has said, but his usual photographic memory was fogged by the lust, so he improvised. Penny's movements became harsher as her excitement built and Sheldon felt himself thrusting into her, his hands fisting the covers, in the distance he could hear the woman moaning his name. Something began to build deep within him, a feeling like no other and all he could do was encourage Penny to go faster, he wanted more, he wanted her closer, his body instinctively thrusting as his hips bucked. Without the man knowing his voice was begging and moaning as his head rocked from side to side, the feeling that was taking over was too strong, too much and too hot.

Sheldon lurched forwards, his body convulsing as he cried out, his hands reaching out to grab Penny as he came unexpectedly. The woman followed soon after, continuing to bounce on Sheldon as she rode out her orgasm, her hands kneading his chest, collapsing on top of the man, nuzzling into the man's neck.

Penny wasn't sure whether or not Sheldon had passed out or not; his eyes were closed, and his erratic breathing had calmed but he didn't speak or move, she took this rare opportunity to openly stare at him, he was very handsome and his features were perfect, in their own way. Realisation hit and she became aware of what they had just done. Not only was she mortified that she had just taken Sheldon's virginity but that they had done so out of lust, rather than taking it slowly. Penny was shocked that she had done something so irresponsible, especially with someone like Sheldon. She was crazy about the man, but he was so…Sheldon, not like other men she had been with intimately. Penny wasn't sure whether she had done the right thing, should she have said no to Sheldon's advances?

Sheldon woke to the sound of his name being called, his head was groggy, it reminded him of the time he had gotten drunk and this was the hangover. The man shuffled, groaning; his eyes shot open in sudden realisation, bolting upright, staring at the woman who had been saying him name.

"Hey sleepy." Penny reached up, stroking the man's cheek, his eyes were wide and he shuddered, his arms covered in goose-bumps. "Should we shower?" Penny sat up smiling, still in her work uniform, Sheldon looked down at himself, wrinkling his nose; yes he needed a shower. Sheldon lent forwards, planting a kiss on Penny's lips quickly and without saying a word stood up, stripping off and headed into the bathroom, leaving the door open. Penny was unsure whether or not she should follow, she wasn't sure how he felt about what had transpired between them. Sheldon hadn't said anything, and surely the kiss meant he didn't mind. Did Sheldon even remember what happened? He was acting so nonchalant about the situation.

"Penny? Are you coming?" she heard Sheldon ask, before the sound of water running cut through the silence in the apartment. Penny quickly stripped off, carrying her clothes to the wash basket as she wandered to the bathroom.

Sheldon was stood on the nonslip ducks in her bathtub, blushing and turning away when he saw that the woman was naked. Penny rolled her eyes; despite what they had done he was still acting like that. Penny carefully climbed into the bath, pushing the plug into the drain, turning the taps on and the showerhead off; sitting down in the tub, forgetting that by doing so she would be at the same level as Sheldon's manhood. Sheldon swallowed, pretending not to notice, but was betrayed by his body, quickly sitting in an attempt to hide the stiffness that was growing. He was annoyed that his mind was beginning to trail to such dark and dirty places. Penny lent forwards, almost crawling up Sheldon's body, whispering into his ear.

"We could do it again, if you like?"
