Time for a few shout outs ^^
qazmlp: I like longer reviews, much better than a five word comment :D Also, I saw yesterday that you were the one with the all-caps review on Chapter 30 on AO3 ^^
Guest: Yeah, I blundered with Thomas' age, I had a little thought error in conjunction with my other story ^^ Was already fixed a few days before your review but I forgot to replace the chapter with the repaired one ;)
But now, enjoy :)

"Penny?" a nagging voice was inexorably pulling her from sleep. "Penny! Can you let go of me please?"
"No, I don't want to." she mumbled, recognizing Leonard's voice. "It's comfy."
She was on her left side, Leonard's body aligned with hers, his right arm around her which she was holding tight to her body with her own right arm. His hand was a warm fixture on her stomach just below her bellybutton in a place where it could dip down an inch or two at the spur of the moment.
After their reconciliation sex, they had kissed until he was ready again upon which they repeated their performance from earlier. Penny had kept him busy with kissing for up to two hours until they had done it four times in total, and every single time had been tender lovemaking, never degenerating into simple fucking.
Their speed had been slow, it had been giving and she had tried to show him what she felt. For his part, he had never shown hesitancy, never took it for granted and had always given as well as he received. Which for him was easier to do since he was able to pleasure her during his down times, something she couldn't reciprocate.
Although the evening had been young after their fourth time, since they had started after their lunch, both had been too exhausted to do anything but shower, brush teeth and fall into bed at eight, both falling asleep immediately after getting into the position they found themselves in now. Penny opened her right eye a fraction and found the room dimly illuminated from the dawn light coming through her windows.
"Penny, I really need to pee." Leonard's voice became more urgent.
"I don't." she grumbled sleepily. "Sleep more. Sex again later."
"I didn't say sex, I said pee." he tried again, slightly poking her in the side, making her body twitch until she let go of his hand.
He got up, taking the comforter with him in the process, and used the toilet, while Penny rolled onto her stomach, shivering slightly from the air in the room. She heard him clear his throat and then gargle. Her sleepy mind went back to the day before and what they did and despite her tiredness, she felt heat pool in her lower abdomen and moisture pooling a little further down.
The click of the light switch, loud in the silence of the apartment, announced Leonard's return to her. She squirmed a bit, still feeling the cooler air of the room on her skin and was impatient to feel his warm body against her again. She felt the bed dip slightly when he got on and smiled at the soon to be returning feeling of comfort and safety she had in his arms.
"UGH!" she groaned when he suddenly penetrated her from behind, causing immediate explosions of pleasure in her brain.
"Oh no, did I hurt you?" he asked worried. "Are you sore from yesterday?"
"No, it was just surprising." she assured him. "We didn't do it hard and fast enough for me to get sore."
"Alright." he chuckled and started moving gently, causing her to moan in delight.
"Mmmh, that feels so good." she commented, the position perfect for him to hit her g-spot while the speed let the orgasm build instead of letting it crash against her too quickly.
He draped his body over her back and laid his head on the bed next to her, turning her head to meet her face. She closed the distance and their lips connected, their tongues intertwining and dancing a slow dance of love with each other all the while he kept up his steady strokes. His arms stretched forward and his hands covered hers, making her think that he would go into that position that was basically holding her down.
Instead, his arms turned so the palms of his hands faced up and without ever opening her eyes, she glided her hands into his and let their fingers intertwine. Since he was prone on her back, he didn't have to carry any weight on his wrists. She held his hands tight as his speed increased marginally, his breathing and indicator that he wouldn't last that much longer.
Not that she was faring any better. His faster speed had her groaning into his mouth with every thrust, the familiar fire inside her roaring to almost unbearable heat spreading through her body. Comparing it to a flood, which she liked to do, the tide was reaching the crest of the dam and would soon topple it down, causing the endorphins to ravage her brain with pleasure.
"God!" she groaned, feeling her body starting to shake.
"Thanks, but you can call me Leonard." he chuckled breathlessly and moved his right hand under her body.
She knew what he was attempting and tried to shoo his hand away but to no avail. And as soon as he connected with her clit and started rubbing it, she shattered, the dam broken and her brain overloading. She keened under him while he stayed buried to the hilt and ground his hips in every direction.
When she had calmed down, he suddenly started moving rapidly, slamming into her in fast intervals, chasing his own climax. She screamed into her pillow at the sudden sensation, her still sensitive insides stimulated again by the onslaught. She heard him groan and felt him spill into her and during those last thrusts of his, she climaxed a second time, although not as hard as the first time.
"Good morning." he chuckled from above her, his body again covering hers.
"Good morning, my love." she replied, smiling widely. "And what a way to wake me up."
"Well, since I had no coffee on hand, I thought this was the only thing I could do so you wouldn't hit me."
"Come on, that happened only a few times." she defended.
"Twelve so far." he reminded her.
"So, shouldn't you have learned by now?" she grinned back and pushed him off her, turning with him until she was on top.
"Can't help it. You look cute when you're half asleep and don't know where you are."
"Are you saying I'm not cute anytime else?" she accused mockingly, pouted.
"No, the other times you're stunningly beautiful." he smiled and cupped her ass, gently squeezing her cheeks.
"Nice save." she winked and kissed him, grinding herself down while knowing that nothing could happen now.
"Penny, I'm not a machine." he commented her grinding with a smile.
"Really? The fact that we did it four times yesterday and once already today belies that statement."
"Well, it was spaced out regularly." he grinned and kissed her again. "And when you're naked, it's hard to say no."
"I noticed. Was almost asleep before you entered me fifteen minutes ago." he said between kisses.
"Couldn't help myself. You're legs were a little spread, I could see your folds and they were somewhat glistening."
"Yeah, I thought about what we did yesterday." she hummed. "I'm so glad we talked it out."
"Me too." he admitted. "The thought of another man doing this with you was unbearable to me."
"Agreed. No matter how many guys I see, I don't even look at them as possible partners anymore. Doesn't stop them from hitting on me though."
"Does that happen often?" he asked.
"Yeah. Especially at the gym. I usually try to keep to myself, listening to music while I work out and most get the message. But there are some who think any woman has to swoon over them just because they are there. One even pulled my earphones out because he though I couldn't hear his weak pickup lines even though I was simply ignoring him." Penny told him.
"That's a little brazen." he commented.
"Yep. I gave him an earful in front of everybody present." she grinned. "Even funnier are those guys who put up tremendous amounts of weights in hope of impressing me when I'm on the treadmill or cross trainer. They load their bars up with two hundred pounds and can't lift it afterwards until a trainer rescues them."
"Ah well." he sighed. "I think I will have to endure other guys hitting on you. Although I wished they would stop it when I'm right next to you."
"If you weren't so reluctant, nobody would mistake us for not being together." she winked.
"Honey, remember that time we were in the park and started making out while sitting on my jacket under the tree?"
"Yeah, why?"
"A cop needed to stop us, otherwise it might have gone too far."
"Your point being?" she asked.
"I don't want to get arrested for indecent exposure. It's hard enough to stop myself when you wear certain form fitting or skimpy clothes." he smiled dreamily.
"Are you picturing me in tight clothes while I'm naked on top of you?" she wanted to know, seeing his look.
"Sorry." he said and focused back on her.
"No, I don't mind as long as it's me." she giggled and kissed him again.
"What time is it anyway?" he asked.
"Um... it's... a crap, I have to be at work in an hour." she told him after taking her phone and checking the time. "It's almost seven."
"How long do you have to work?"
"Until three. Then I'll head over to the gym, get a little cardio in and use their showers, saves me some water."
"That makes sense." he conceded. "Since you pay your monthly fees, you could shower there every day without working out."
"I could. But I usually feel bad doing just the showering. I always feel I should get at least some alibi workout in."
"Suit yourself." he grinned. "But we should get up and get a shower in."
"Alright. Want to have breakfast here?" she asked while getting up, albeit reluctantly.
"What do you have?"
"Coffee and dry cereal."
"Coffee sounds nice." he grinned and walked into the kitchen to start the coffee maker while Penny moved towards the bathroom.
She opened the tap and stepped into the tub, closing the curtain so the water wouldn't spray onto the floor. She let the warm water run down her body, running her hands over her skin to wash away the grit of the night and the sweat that had surely accumulated during the events of yesterday and this morning.
Suddenly the curtain opened and Leonard stepped in, getting right behind her and taking the shower head out of her hand, using it to first wet his back and then on her front along with his other hand, caressing the skin on her stomach and breasts. She leaned into his touch as he ran his finger along the underside of her breasts, a feather light tough that was making her hot all over again.
She turned in his arms and simply hugged him while he used the soaped up soft side of the sponge to scrub her back before he handed it to her and she did the same for him. As soon as he was all soaped down, she washed his back with the shower head and handed it back to him, leaving her head on his shoulder and breathing in the mix of him and her soap.
"Ok, we're done." Leonard proclaimed, shutting off the water and hanging the shower head into its slot.
"Do we have to be?" she whined, wanting to stay like this a little longer.
"Unfortunately. We'll get cold in a few minutes and you have to go to work."
"Ugh, don't remind me." she huffed and stepped out of the tub, handing him a towel and taking one for herself.
"You know, I like your straight hair, looks good on you." he commented as she combed her long strands.
"Really?" she eyed him.
"Not that your other hairstyles didn't look good too." he added with a wink.
"Good call." she smiled. "Hurry with getting dressed, coffee's done. You want some dry cereal?"
"Nah, I just eat something at my place."
"Okay." she said and went into her bedroom while he finished up in the bathroom. While she always dressed for work before going there, today she would find something civilian to wear since she wanted to go to the gym and not leave it in her work uniform again. So she picked out and tried on a pair of jeans and a white-blue shirt with red dots and buttons covering her chest.
"Are you trying to kill me?" Leonard's voice made her turn around.
"What are you talking about?" she asked confused.
"Those jeans." he groaned. "Have you any idea how great your ass looks in them?"
"Actually, I do." she grinned and opened the button to take them off again so she could change into her work clothes. "I thought I give you something to look forward to for after work."
"Won't get much work done today, my head will be filled with that image." he said as he was getting dressed while Penny packed her gym bag and finished putting on her uniform.
They drank their coffee in silence, standing next to each other at the kitchen island, their hips touching. Penny liked the silence, and his presence was comforting next to her. Once again, she thanked her lucky stars to have someone like him, willing to forgive her a drunken indiscretion she had. And while she knew that he would think about it for some time still, she also knew that he would manage to process it.
"You need to get going." Leonard proclaimed and washed his coffee cup, prompting her to empty hers and handing it to him for cleaning before she grabbed her purse and gym bag and both then headed out of her apartment only to run into Sheldon, who was standing in the open doorway to the guys' place.
"Leonard? Why are you exiting Penny's apartment at seven-twenty in the morning?" Sheldon asked.
"You're supposed to be a genius, why do you think?" Penny asked before Leonard could respond.
"Huh." Sheldon huffed, looking at both of them. "Well, the explanation is quite simple then, I had to watch certain movies in the past. You had your bonus night."
"Bonus night?" Leonard repeated.
"Yes." Sheldon replied as if it were obvious. "A night simply for coitus without the emotional attachment of a pair bonding."
"Yeah, right." Leonard said sarcastically.
"Of course I am." Sheldon retorted, again oblivious to sarcasm and walked back into the apartment.
"Just wow." Leonard chuckled.
"I think we need a lot more bonus nights, what about you?" Penny asked.
"Oh, tons. It will take a couple of thousand more at least before I'm over you." he said, mockingly serious.
"A couple of thousand? Not nearly enough." she added, nodding.
"Then I think we have to get an early start with those."
"Agreed." she said and kissed him. "But now I got to go. See you tonight."
"Bye." he bid her farewell and disappeared into his apartment while she walked downstairs.
After the drive to work, she grabbed the notebook and downed another cup of Cheesecake Factory coffee before starting her shift when some customers occupied one of her tables. Since it was Tuesday, the amount of work was underwhelming, except of course during the breakfast and lunch rush where she got great tips thanks to her great mood.
"You're in a good mood." the high pitched voice of Bernadette startled her while she was busy counting her tips from the lunch crowd.
"Why shouldn't I? I got cash." Penny grinned. "Hey Bernie."
"Hey. I'm just asking because I read on Howard's facebook page, and I quote, 'as expected, my friend Leonard couldn't hold on to the gorgeous neighbor' together with a short video of you storming out at a bowling alley while Leonard looks distraught."
"Really?"
"So, are you okay? I know breakups can be hard, depending on the reason."
"I'm okay. More than okay." Penny smiled.
"Which means you already have a new boyfriend. Otherwise you would be more depressed."
"No, I don't have a new boyfriend." Penny grinned, stretching the word new.
"Then I don't understand."
"Can you keep a secret, especially from Howard?" Penny asked.
"That won't be a problem. We broke up weeks ago." Bernadette told her.
"What? Why did you breakup? Why didn't you tell me? Howard always said everything was fine.
"I don't want to talk about it." Bernadette sighed. "What's the secret?"
"I never broke up with Leonard. We had a big fight because I did something really stupid but we made up yesterday." Penny admitted to her.
"Then why did Howard say that?"
"Because we never corrected them. Leonard and I have been together for almost three years now, and for the first two years the guys, albeit them being geniuses, never figured it out. And we decided to see how long it'll take them now until they figure out that we're still together."
"That should be pretty easy to do once you kiss." Bernadette pointed out.
"You would think so. I kissed Leonard long and deep during New Years Eve and the guys still didn't get it."
"Then you should have sex in front of them." Bernadette laughed.
"Are you crazy? And let Howard and Raj see me naked? But I plan on having sex with Leonard tonight in his bedroom."
"Good luck with that." Bernadette said.
"Also, Sheldon saw us this morning when I left my apartment with Leonard. Of course, him being Sheldon, he assumed that Leonard and I had a bonus night."
"A bonus night? You mean a night with the ex with only sex without emotional attachment?"
"Correct. How do you know about that?" Penny asked,
"I watched Friends. Though Rachel got pregnant during their eventual bonus night." Bernadette said and looked at Penny with a grin.
"I have an IUD." Penny lifted her arms. "So I'm save in that regard."
"And you're also off duty." Mike, the manager interrupted them. "Whereas Bernadette has some tables to wait on."
"On my way." Bernadette said and quickly hurried off.
"Me too." Penny said and got her purse from her locker in the employee lounge before heading out of the restaurant and into her car.
She drove to her gym and parked her car on the adjacent parking lot, taking her bag and walking up the stairs to the entrance. As she waited in front of the counter for the key to her locker, she received some looks because of her outfit, someone wearing a Cheesecake Factory uniform apparently a seldom sight here.
After getting the key to her locker, she walked into the changing room and got out of her uniform before putting her gym clothes on, consisting of some yoga pants and a loose shirt. She tied her hair into a messy bun and walked into the studio, past the mirror area where all those buff guys were lifting weights and adoring themselves in the reflective wall.
As she stretched, bending her body down which pulled the shirt above her ass and presented it to anyone looking, she noticed several guys staring and promptly preparing heavier weights to lift. Shaking her head in mirth, she climbed on one of the stair masters and started her standard program of the analog of one foot high stairs, knowing that this was a great exercise to get a rock hard ass.
Before she could really start the workout, she took her phone and plugged the earphones in, sticking them into her ear and starting her playlist to make the time go by faster. As she took step after step, she felt the sweat starting to pour and her thighs and calves starting to burn. She watched with malicious joy as the guys who had put on heavier weights struggled to lift them and subsequently dropped some before giving up and reverting to the lighter ones.
She noticed a guy standing next to her, doing nothing. Resisting the urge to turn her head, she simply stared forward and concentrated on her workout while listening to the current song. Suddenly, her left earplug was pulled out of her ear again, causing her to almost lose her footing.
"What the fuck?!" she shouted.
"You weren't hearing me." the guy said.
"I wanted to be left alone. Now go away." Penny growled and started her stepping again.
"Hi Penny, I'm Zack. I heard you're single."
"I'm not. Now go away." she said and was about to put her earplug in again when she stopped short. "Wait, how do you know my name?"
"Some guy on facebook wrote that you're single now and shared it with everyone." came the reply.
"I'm gonna kill him." Penny growled, imagining herself force-feeding Howard with peanuts.
"There's a party next week, you're invited."
"Thanks, but no. Go away." she shook her head and turned back to her workout.
"I'll pick you up at nine." Zack said and left her open-mouthed.
"Boy, that guy is an idiot." she muttered and tried to put him out of his mind.
After another hour, she was sweating profusely and her legs were burning. She looked at the wall clock and saw that she could get to the body shaping course that was beginning in two minutes. She hurried to the training room where it was supposed to be and found herself some room in one of the corners.
Using the two minutes to stretch her limbs, she saw the trainer walk in, a small girl about the height of Bernadette but a lot more petite but with a wiry strength that belied her appearance. But what caught Penny's eye first was the woman's hair which reached her hips and was tied into a tight braid.
"Alright, on three." the woman shouted without much preamble and started the fast music
"Oh god." Penny groaned as she walked into her apartment, showered and changed but with still burning leg muscles.
The body shaping course had been a grueling exercise and Penny had been on the verge of quitting several times with only her stubbornness keeping her there. She had been amazed at that young trainer who had done the entire hour without ever taking a microphone, always shouting the instructions while never not doing any part of the choreography without them.
"Ah crap, forgot my mail." she groaned as she hung her sweat soaked clothes into the bathroom.
She overcame the temptation to simply flop down on her couch and went outside her apartment and down the stairs. She opened her mailbox, finding advertisements and a bill from her cable company. After looking at the envelopes, she closed her mailbox and turned around to find Sheldon entering the building, a large shopping bag in hand.
"Hey, Sheldon." she greeted him.
"Oh, Penny, excellent. I have a question about these maxi pads. Are the wings truly functional or have I fallen victim to marketing hype?" he asked her, showing her a box.
"What?" she asked confused. "What are you doing with... what?"
"The stock boy at Walgreens was frustratingly uninformed on the subject."
"Sheldon, what are you doing with maxi pads?" she wanted to know.
"I have a lady friend who will be staying with me for a few days." he told her as they walked up the stairs.
"Oh." she nodded, then did a double take. "What?"
"I want her to feel at home. I also bought scented soaps, pantyhose, Midol, calcium chews and what is apparently a yogurt specifically designed to regulate the female bowel." he continued, holding up the yogurt in question.
"Wait, wait, hold on, back up. You're having a woman stay with you?" she stopped his rambling.
"Yes. Why does that seem to flabbergast everybody?"
"Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm not flabbergasted. I'm puzzled. Yeah, let's go with puzzled." she tried, still attempting to process these information.
"A word of warning. My guest is Elizabeth Plimpton, a noted physicist and the leading expert on quantum cosmology, so please try to avoid wasting her time with female jibber jabber."
"Female jibber jabber?"
"Shoe sales, hair styles, mud masks, gossip about your friends Brad and Angelina."
"Oh, they're not my friends." she corrected him.
"I'm not surprised, considering the way you talk about them behind their backs."
"So, run this by me again, a woman is staying over?" she asked again.
"Yes."
"Where will she sleep?"
"In my bed of course." Sheldon replied matter-of-fact.
"With you?"
"No, of course not. I will, for the duration of her visit, occupy the couch in the living room."
"I thought you don't sleep on couches. You stated that many times." she said.
"When one of the great minds of the century is playing host to another great mind, one must make a small sacrifice for that duration." he stated.
"When will she arrive?" Penny asked.
"It's planned that she arrives at nine-thirty at my apartment if her plane doesn't get delayed. Then we will get acquainted and then go to bed and tomorrow she will accompany us to the university to see if she wants to work there." he told her.
"What did Leonard say?"
"He was like a kid in a candy store. Apparently he is a huge fan of doctor Plimpton and was a little disappointed that I didn't tell him that I knew her."
"Is he home?"
"Not yet. He had to finish an experimental run and then he wants to get primed for her arrival, whatever that entails." Sheldon told her.
"I see." she said, strangely worried and walked into her apartment while Sheldon went into his.
Penny wondered what to do now. She knew that she had to let Leonard meet this woman since she was an idol of his but not knowing what she looks like worried her. Nevertheless, she still was determined to spend the night with him, she wanted and needed him to much, needed to feel his touch, his warmth, his love. But that was still a few hours away, giving her enough time to prepare to wow him.
First, she put a random Friends DVD into the player and started it, landing on the fifth season. As the first episode played, she made herself some dinner, a ready-to-eat meal of pasta with cheese and vegetables warmed up in the microwave. She ate while watching the rest of the first and half of the second episode before throwing the plastic box away and washing the fork.
Since she had already showered at the gym, she didn't need to do that again and simply took off her clothes. She looked at her reflection in the floor length mirror, looking for the areas to work on. Her legs needed shaving and she could use another bikini wax but for now, she would have to use the razor.
She walked into the bathroom and sat down on the rim of the tub, her legs inside it. By using her shower to have water smooth her skin, she quickly took the short hairs from her legs without foam. For her center, she used some of Leonard's shaving cream, since it was very good on her skin and then carefully removed the hairs from that area. Once that was done, she washed it clean and toweled it dry before applying some cream to prevent spots to appear and to prevent itching.
After exiting, she simply threw her robe over her, forgoing any clothing until later and returned to her living room to watch the remaining minutes of the last of the four episodes on the DVD. She looked at her clock and saw that it was close to eight, ninety minutes before the planned arrival of Sheldon's guest and at least two hours before they went to bed.
She put in another DVD, the episodes being the uncut versions making most of them half an hour long and leaned back while watching four episodes, all the while snacking on some non-salted peanuts which reminded her to find a suitable punishment for Howard that didn't involve putting him into mortal danger. Maybe some laxatives into his food at the Cheesecake Factory the next time he ordered something.
Since she knew the episodes, having them seen several times, she wasn't really on the edge of her seat and the time didn't go by as fast than it usually did when watching something she liked but that was probably because of her eagerness to go over there. She was already regretting her suggestion of keeping their continued relationship quiet but her stubbornness had her seeing it through.
At one point, the last episode of the DVD ended and she jumped up, putting it back into its box and turning off the TV. She walked into her bedroom and picked out a thong that barely covered anything and a bra that wasn't a wonderbra but still pushed her breasts up so they were presented amazingly.
She grabbed her pajama shorts and tank top and stuffed them into the pockets of her robe, then took her slippers into her hand before heading back into the living room to take her keys and then leave the apartment. She crossed the hallway and used the emergency key to open the door as quietly as possible, pulling it out and inserting it into the lock again from the inside.
She turned it and pressed the door shut to avoid any sound the door might make during closing so Sheldon, who was sleeping on the couch, wouldn't wake up. As she tiptoed past him, she noticed that he looked strangely serene for someone who was adamant about not sleeping on a couch if a bed was available.
When she sneaked past Sheldon's bedroom, she could hear soft female humming coming from the inside, indicating that their guest was still awake. She continued on to Leonard's room and quietly opened the door, peeking her head inside and seeing him lying in bed and reading a book. He didn't even notice her until she closed the door again and cleared her throat, making him startle slightly before relaxing.
"Hey." she smiled, walking closer to the bed.
"God, I missed you." he groaned and suddenly she was being pulled down and over him until she came to rest to his left.
Any retort from her was stopped by his lips on hers and she moaned into the kiss, having missed it terribly since the morning. She wondered how she could be so sappy after three years of their relationship but decided not to fight it, simply enjoy.
"Someone's eager." she commented once he released her lips.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"Well, I missed you too." she admitted and smiled at him.
He pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear, an action so innocent yet so intimate, Penny could barely fathom it. She shifted her body a bit and Leonard's gaze fell downward. She followed his eyes and realized that her robe had opened slightly, revealing her breasts, the left one almost falling out of the cup holding it.
"Hey, how was meeting the physicist woman? What is she like?"
"She's a nice person. Unfortunately I made a fool of myself when greeting her. Too starstruck I suppose." he sighed, pushing the robe more open and starting to trace lines over her skin when there was a knock on the door and it opened slightly without any verbal prompt from him.
"Shit." she hissed and let herself drop from the bed, effectively hiding her from whoever was walking in, which most likely was Sheldon, as long as he didn't walk around the bed too far. She was even more surprised when she heard a female voice.
"I saw your light on." she heard Elizabeth say.
"Is everything all right?" Leonard asked.
"Yeah, I just couldn't sleep."
"Me neither. Oh, look what I'm reading. It's you." Leonard told her and held up the book he had already been reading when Penny came in.
"I thought you already read it."
"I did, but it's been a while, and I wanted to sound smart over breakfast."
"Aw, you're smart." Penny heard Elizabeth comment, and ground her teeth, trying to will the woman out of the room. "What chapter are you on?"
"Uh, six."
"Oh, the extra-galactic distance ladder. Want to know a little secret?"
"Sure." Leonard said hesitantly.
"I wrote the section on the Wilson-Bappu Effect completely naked." came the secret and Penny thought that it was a strange thing to say.
"Really? Uh, sure doesn't read that way." Leonard stammered and Penny ground her teeth even more.
"Here, let me show you. When we consider the brightness of pulsating variable stars, we start to seea possible explanation for some of the discrepancies found in Hubble's constant." she heard the woman say and finally peeked over the rim of the bed, finding a rather young and attractive woman standing naked in front of Leonard, who was gaping at her in shock.
"Excuse me, what do you think you're doing?" Penny hissed and stood up, holding her own robe closed.
"Who are you?" Elizabeth asked, not making any move to put her robe back on.
"I'm Penny. Leonard's girlfriend." she growled back.
"Girlfriend? I asked doctor Cooper and he told me that Leonard was no longer with that waitress from across the hall."
"Sheldon is wrong about that. He just assumed it was over."
"Oh, I don't mind." Elizabeth said cheerfully. "I'm okay with a threesome. I don't mind sharing."
"Huh? What?" Leonard stammered, overwhelmed by the situation.
"Well, I do mind, so please get out." Penny said menacingly, prompting Elizabeth to don her robe again.
"Too bad. If you change your mind, I'm right next door." she said cheerfully and headed out.
"What just happened?" Leonard asked, looking at the door and then at a point of the far wall.
"Leonard, you better not be thinking about that woman now." Penny said with squinting eyes upon seeing his faraway expression.
"No, at least not the way you think." he assured her. "I'm trying to reconcile the world-class cosmological physicist that I'm a huge fan of and which I have never met in person before, with the woman we just saw, who was willing to have sex with me after meeting me an hour earlier."
"Sweetie, remember, that's basically what happened between us."
"Yeah, but that was different."
"How?" she asked.
"Well, there was alcohol involved and more importantly, I didn't fall in love with doctor Plimpton after meeting her." he replied.
"Aww, that's so sweet." she gushed and straddled him. "But now we should get to the reason I'm here."
"Didn't you want to hide our continued relationship from the others?"
"Eh, screw them. If they find out, they find out, if not, I don't care." she shrugged and bent forward to kiss him.
"Then why did you just fall from the bed to hide?" he asked.
"Oh, shut up." she huffed.
As her upper body descended, he opened her robe and pushed it off her shoulders, staring at her cleavage until she was too far down. As they kissed, his hands went down to her ass again, finding the thin line of fabric covering basically nothing of her cheeks. He right hand moved to her front and found the same lack of cover, the whole piece on the wrong side of decent.
"When did you get that thong?" he asked her.
"A while ago. Hadn't had a chance yet to wear it. Thought it would get you going."
"Honey, you don't need to wear something like this to get me going."
"I want to." she breathed against him and pushed herself forward, so her breasts were over his head.
He grabbed around her and opened her bra, pulling the offending piece of fabric out from under her and throwing it unceremoniously to the floor. He started sucking on her nipples, treating both the same but she still noticed his penchant for favoring her left with his lips while using his hand more on her right.
After several minutes, she needed more and lifted her body up again, scooting forward until his hands had enough leverage to pull her the rest of the way so she was sitting on his upper chest. He quickly pulled the fabric of her thong aside and as soon as his tongue touched her clit, she was in heaven again.
He proved again to her that he truly was the king of foreplay, not just in regards to duration but also skill. He expertly pleasured her, every move and every pressure point timed perfectly for the maximum effect. She couldn't stop herself from starting to grind, her hips moving forward and back, as if she was riding him, creating friction against her folds as they rubbed over his stubble.
After her inevitable climax, she climbed off him and turned around after dropping the thong completely, swinging her leg back over again before sinking down once more. She stretched her legs and let her feet dangle in the air and the different position allowed him to push his tongue deep into her, letting it roam freely inside her folds, while she pushed his shorts down and off him.
She started stroking his already hard manhood, pressing her lips against his base to muffle her groan. When she had calmed down as best as she could, she took his cock into her mouth, sucking on the tip for a while before pushing her head down to get him into her all the way until it reached her throat. He groaned the same way she did, maybe a little louder even and licked her even harder if that was possible, causing her to suck harder and creating a circle where each tried to outdo the other.
She lost the battle when he dipped the tip of his left index finger into her anus and used his right thumb to massage her clit while his tongue moved rapidly inside her. She climaxed hard, forcing her to release his manhood so she wouldn't bite it as she tried to ride it out, her entire lower body moving in pleasure which he increased by simply not stopping what he was doing.
"Harder!" she commanded and he complied and the next climax felt as if it simply continued on from the first, causing her to scream into his mattress.
"Never fight against the king of foreplay." she heard him chuckle and rolled off him, breathing heavily.
"Smug bastard." she huffed but couldn't stop herself from smiling. "Fuck, you're really good at this oral thing."
"Good."
"And since I know that you love it when I ride you, let me show you what I can do." she winked and straddled him again, holding his erect manhood against the skin of her center and abdomen and stroking it gently.
She lifted her body and sank down on him, enjoying in the feeling of him filling her out. She let a few seconds pass before she slowly began her grinding movements, forward and back, left to right and a circling motion that made her shutter. She leaned back a bit and used her arms on his knees to hold her self up before starting a faster riding motion, still way below the speed that would have the bed banging against the wall.
"Jesus Christ, keep doing that." Leonard groaned, his hands grasping the bedframe and his head pressed into the pillow, his face contorted in a mix of pleasure and effort to keep himself from climaxing too quickly.
She was happy to oblige. Since she had no problems to keep going even after a climax, she kept the pace steady, only increasing it slightly after she had another orgasm and trying to control her breathing to prevent herself from yelling. She had no idea how much time had passed but Leonard's groaning had become a constant and she herself had sped up even more, making the bed springs squeak in protest. His hands had gone from the bedframe to pressing into her thighs and she was sure that she would have some spots in the morning shaped like his fingers.
Suddenly, Leonard's upper body shot up and grabbed around her, pulling her down and forcefully slamming his cock into her in a furious pace. She clenched her teeth at the sudden sensation and bit into his shoulder as another orgasm crashed through her while he gave out a last mighty groan and climaxed into her, breathing hard as he pumped out his spill, his hips still moving.
"Wow." she breathed. "Kinda surprised me with that."
"Couldn't help it. After you rode me like this for forty-five minutes, I needed to finish, otherwise my brain would have overloaded." he panted.
"Forty-five minutes? Really?" she asked shocked.
"Yeah. And just a suggestion for the future. Please to that again soon. That felt so awesome, it's hard to describe."
"Gladly. If you lick me again like today when we were doing the sixty-nine." she grinned.
"I kinda realized you liked it when your hips started moving like they did." he chuckled.
"Couldn't help it. My body really didn't know what to do. One the one hand, I wanted to get away to ride out my orgasm, then again I wanted your tongue to stay inside me. Are you sure that you're not some kind of lizard? It always feels like your tongue is a foot long the way it moves."
"No, I just have a regular tongue." he shrugged. "But I'm glad you like it."
"Well, you are the king of foreplay." she hummed and rested her head on his chest.
"We should get cleaned up." he said and tried to push her off.
"No, it's comfy. Don't want to move."
"If we don't, you will feel icky later." he told her and grabbed a box of wet wipes, handing her several.
She groaned and stood up, cleaning her skin and holding one between her legs, jumping up and down to help gravity along until she was clean on the inside as well. She took the pajama shorts and tank top out of her robe's pockets and put them on while Leonard grabbed his own shorts, making Penny realize that he had had his shirt on the entire time.
"You should change your shirt too, you were sweating." she mentioned, pointing to his upper body.
"I think that came from you." he replied after sniffing the moist spot.
"Ew." she winced. "Change."
"Yes, dear." he pouted and changed into another white shirt, his closet full of them.
She smiled and waited on the bed until he had gotten back in before snuggling up against him and closing her eyes. She shut off the light and breathed in her scent, both basking in the afterglow of their lovemaking. She was about to fall asleep when a thought occurred to her.
"Leonard?"
"Yeah?" he said tiredly.
"Have you set the alarm? I have another early shift tomorrow."
"No, what time do you need to get up?"
"Seven." she groaned.
"Done." he proclaimed, setting his phone down again and pulling her against him.
When Leonard's phone started playing it's wake-up tune, Penny groggily opened her eyes. She found herself on her side, with Leonard spooning her, wondering how they had gotten into that position without waking up when she had fallen asleep with her head on his shoulder. She reached over to turn the alarm off and yawned, trying to get awake without falling asleep again.
Since the only way to prevent it, she got up, turning around and planting a big kiss on Leonard's forehead. His mouth turned up into a smile and he hummed in satisfaction without waking up and Penny put her robe and slipper son before heading quietly out of his room. When crossing the living room, she saw Sheldon asleep on the couch, this time more peacefully and slowly opened the door, closing it again with the key trick to prevent slamming.
After walking into her apartment, she brewed herself some coffee and headed into her shower to clean herself. After that was done, she donned some practical underwear and her work uniform, then drinking her coffee to finally get awake. Half an hour later, she left her apartment again and walked down the stairs to her car, entering it and putting the key into the ignition.
She turned it and the car coughed a few times, not starting. She calmly turned the ignition off and waited a few seconds before turning it back on, getting the same result. She left it on and searched for clues as to what was wrong. The check engine light was still working but the gas needle stayed at the lowest end, making her groan at her own stupidity of ignoring her reserve tank light. She got out again and walked back up the stairs, hoping that Leonard was already awake so he could take her to work. Since the emergency key was still in her apartment, she simply knocked on the door to find Sheldon opening it after a few seconds.
"Oh, good, you're up. Look, my car won't start. I need a ride to work." she said relieved.
"Did you once again ignore your check engine light?" Sheldon asked her.
"No, Mr. smarty-pants. I ignored the fill gas tank light." she replied embarrassed.
"Leonard, Penny wants to exploit any residual feelings you have for her in order to get a ride to work." Sheldon called into the apartment and Penny saw her sweetie standing at the kitchen island in his robe, the slutty doctor standing way too close to him for her liking.
"Oh, yeah, sure, let me just put this in a travel mug." Leonard called back, holding up his cup.
"Oh, Penny, this is Dr. Plimpton, a leading expert on quantum cosmology. Dr. Plimpton." Sheldon introduced her, not knowing that she had already met the woman the night before. "Penny is a waitress who doesn't understand the role gasoline plays in the internal combustion engine."
"Nice to meet you." Elizabeth greeted her, playing along.
"Nice to meet you, too. Are you enjoying your stay?" she asked.
"Yes, last night was very entertaining." Elizabeth said, looking pointedly at her and then Leonard.
"Good." Penny smiled.
"Excuse me." Sheldon interjected. "First, Elizabeth, Leonard's bathroom time is coming up, and believe me, you do not want to follow him."
"Excuse me." Elizabeth said to everyone and went to the bathroom.
"And second, am I to imply that something happened last night?"
"Why, whatever do you mean Sheldon?" Leonard grinned.
"I woke up last night thanks to some carnal noises coming from your room."
"Did you now?" Penny asked. "What do you think happened?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Sheldon asked irritated. "Leonard used some form of seduction, most likely chemical, to lure doctor Plimpton into his bedroom and have his way with her."
"Yeah, sure." Leonard sighed sarcastically.
"How could you do this? This is a such a betrayal of my trust." Sheldon whined.
"Wouldn't it be a betrayal of me?" Penny asked incredulous.
"No, me. Doctor Plimpton is my guest and he is playing with her." Sheldon directed at her.
"Sheldon, if she had sex with him, I'm sure it wasn't playing." Penny smiled knowingly, since she had been the one having the sex.
"That's not for her to decide, it's about me." Sheldon stated defiantly as Elizabeth returned.
"Sheldon, just get dressed." Leonard sighed and disappeared into the bathroom.
Penny poured the coffee into the travel mug Leonard had been holding while he used the bathroom and then got dressed. Sheldon and the slutty doctor took turns getting dressed in his room while Leonard was busy and a few minutes later, everyone was dressed and ready to go in the living room.
"I put the coffee into the mug for you." Penny said to Leonard, who was looking around in the kitchen.
"Thank you." Leonard smiled. "Lets go everybody."
"Elizabeth, you will sit in the back with..." Sheldon started after they had exited the building.
"Shotgun!" Penny interrupted him with a shout, running to the passenger door.
"Penny, how many times do I have to tell you, I sit in front." Sheldon whined.
"Not today, you're not." she returned, poking out her tongue.
"Leonard, she's no longer your girlfriend. Tell her." Sheldon stated defiantly.
"Let me open the door for you." Leonard chuckled, letting Penny into the front seat.
"Leonard..."
"Sheldon, we had this situation before, do you really want to break the shotgun rule?" Leonard asked.
"No." Sheldon replied dejected and got behind the driver's seat, Elizabeth on the other side.
"Please hurry up, I'm already running late." Penny told him and he started driving and to his credit, he did hurry up, despite Sheldon's attempts at making him go slower but only twenty minutes later, they stopped in front of the Cheesecake factory where Penny gave him a quick kiss on the lips and jumped out of the car.
"Leonard, why did Penny just..." was the last thing she heard Sheldon say before the door slammed shut and she had to rush into the restaurant.
"Sorry Mike, I forgot to get gas yesterday and had to hitch a ride with my boyfriend." she apologized to the manager who was standing next to the bar.
"No worries, you still would have had a minute to spare." Mike winked at her.
"Man, I could have slept a minute longer." Penny whined mockingly as her first table was being occupied and her work started.
The breakfast crowd took up every ounce of attention she had during the next two hours, the day apparently again one of grand slam breakfasts and large groups of hungry people. She had to carry plates of food to one table and drinks to another and sometimes even help out the busboys to clean one of her tables so it would get free for another group of people. Shortly after nine, she finally had a minute to rest and used it to communicate with her sweetie.
What did Sheldon say about the kiss? she typed to him.
He asked what it was about and I used your reply of What do you think?
What did he say?
He's still trying to figure it out while at the same time mad at me for 'playing with his guest'
And he always claims to be a genius :) My place again tonight?
Sure. But tonight is Halo night at Koothrapali's. Could get late.
Don't care. If I fall asleep, lick me awake ;)
If you want to, I'll eat you as much as you want :-x Love you.
Love you too. See you then.
She put her phone away again and sighed in content. She was sure that if she and Leonard had broken up or not managed to reconcile yet, Leonard would probably have caved and slept with doctor slutbunny. She shook her head at the thought of that woman. A world renowned scientist, according to the guys, and such a promiscuous slut at the same time.
Penny knew that she had been the same during her youth, having had a lot of guys in her bed in her later teen years. Even when she had been with Kurt, the thing stopping her from picking up guys had been his threatening presence, completely opposed to now where she wouldn't even consider picking up a guy in a bar because of her feelings for Leonard. Another wave of guilt about the thing with Kim and Cheryl washed through her and luckily, a customer waved her to him, giving her the opportunity to push the thoughts aside.
After getting home using the bus, she made a mental note to ask Leonard to drive her to a gas station so she could get a canister of gas for her car. She walked up the stairs and headed into her apartment for her customary shower after work and then put one some underwear, pink shirt and her flower sweatpants before grabbing her laundry basket and heading downstairs.
She used the time her laundry was washing to dust her apartment, a task she loathed but nevertheless had to do. After getting done with the bedroom, her oven timer dinged, signaling her laundry being done and she headed back down to the laundry room. She took her clothes out of the washer and walked to one of the dryers, opening it to find a set of Amazing Spiderman underwear.
She set them aside and put her clothes into the dryer, starting the program and deciding to wait for it to finish, primarily to avoid having to clean her living room. She put her head on her hands and thought about what to do tonight while Leonard was at Raj's place and deciding on the spot to do something for her, painting her toenails, which she hadn't done in a while.
Finally, the dryer was done and she collected her clothes into the basket after folding them, placing the Spiderman underwear at the top to bring it to the guys' apartment. As she walked into the hallway, she saw the front door open and Leonard walking in.
"Leonard?" she wondered. "I thought you were at Halo night."
"Hey." he said. "Yeah, I thought so too. But there was a little hiccup."
"Why, what happened?"
"Doctor Plimpton was there when I came in."
"Really? What was she doing there?" she asked.
"Well, she came out of Raj's bedroom in a skirt and bra with an open robe."
"Eh?"
"Apparently, Raj was her new landlord and me and Howard were the movers and she had no money to pay any of us so had to offer a different form of payment." he told her.
"What the hell?"
"Exactly."
"What happened then?"
"Raj shooed us out of the apartment and then locked the door from the inside. So I guess he's already done screwing her."
"I knew she was a slut when she offered to take part in a threesome, but this?" she shook her head and then picked up the Spiderman underwear to show it to him. "By the way, I found these in the dryer. I'm assuming they belong to Sheldon."
"Thanks. It's really hard to find these in his size."
"One other thing, can you drive me to the gas station? I need to fill a canister."
"I have a full two gallon canister in my trunk." he said. "You can use that and then drive to the gas station."
"Oh, thank you so much." she said and kissed him before looking at him with pouting lips. "Can you fill it for me?"
"Yes, dear." he sighed. "You really know how to make me do stuff."
"I know." she grinned. "And admit it, you like it, especially in bed."
"That I do." he nodded and walked out of the building while she went up the stairs again.
She opened the door to the guys' after finding it unlocked and placed the briefs on Sheldon's spot so he would see them immediately. After walking back to her own apartment, she put her clothes away and got the nail polish she wanted to put on her toes but before going out, she had a thought and undressed before putting on her pants and shirt again, leaving the underwear in her bedroom. She sat down on her couch and put the toe dividers on her feet before grabbing the bottle she chose.
"Okay, Babydoll Pink, let's see if you can cover up the fact that I got my dad's feet." she said and suddenly heard a loud argument erupt between Sheldon and Leonard, something about two degrees of temperature change, before someone knocked on her door.
"Who is it?" she called out, knowing full well who was standing outside.
"Who do you think?"
"Hang on." she said and walked to the door on the balls of her feet to keep her toes off the ground, opening the door she accidentally locked.
"I need to stay here tonight." he sighed.
"Well, you can try, but the people across the hall are being very noisy." she grinned.
"You heard that, huh?"
"Apparently, the one fella tried to adjust the thermostat, then the other fella went bat-crap crazy. And by the way, didn't we agree that you slept here tonight anyway?"
"You're right, we did. But you agree, he's nuts, right?"
"Well, not as nuts as the guy who chooses to live with him." she pointedly looked at him.
"Believe it or not, he was worse when I met him." he claimed.
"Oh, I do not believe that." she chuckled.
"You are so naive. Just like I was seven years ago." he huffed and flopped down on her couch.
"Why? What happened?"
"I had just started at the university and I needed a place to live. Since the rent prices are ridiculous for somewhere nice, I looked through the ads at the university notice board and found an ad for a free room in a nice apartment."
"Sheldon's?" she interrupted.
"Yeah. On my way into the building I ran into an asian guy who was carrying a box. I asked him about Sheldon's apartment and he told me to run away as far as I could. That should have been my first clue."
"So Sheldon's last roommate tried to warn you off?" she asked incredulous.
"For all I knew, he was the crazy one. He had this really deranged look." Leonard tried to defend himself.
"Well, yeah, he'd been living with Sheldon."
"Sure, it makes sense now." he agreed. "Anyway, I went upstairs and knocked on the door. Actually, I knocked on your door."
"Mine?"
"This apartment's. A large black guy with diamond earrings wearing a pink dress opened."
"What?"
"Yeah, before you moved in, a transvestite lived here. Anyway, I asked if he was doctor Cooper and he said, and I quote 'No, you want the crazy guy across the hall.' In retrospect, that was clue number two."
"And you still didn't run?" she chuckled, continuing to paint her toenails.
"I had to see for myself. When I knocked, Sheldon opened and asked me some question as a first barrier test."
"What kind of question?"
"What's the sixth noble gas and Kirk or Picard."
"What?"
"I guess it was his way of determining if I really was a nerdy scientist. I passed them and he allowed me inside."
"What did the apartment look like?" she asked.
"Two lawn chairs, a TV and some whiteboards."
"That's it?"
"Yep. Comfort was something that happened to other people. And according to him, not having anything to welcome guests kept people away."
"What was the second barrier?"
"My agreement to be his driver, though I was stupid enough not to make a condition that me being his driver is only regarding the way to the university and back, and my answer to his question what to do in a post-apocalyptic world."
"I'm almost afraid what his options were." she interrupted.
It was locating a sustainable food source, re-establishing a functioning government, procreating, or preserving the knowledge of mankind."
"What did you choose?"
"Preserving the knowledge. And then Sheldon said that he would have accepted anything but procreating."
"Typical."
"You could say so. Barrier three was hedging out the bathroom schedule. He was quite surprised that I chose to evacuate my bowels only when I need to and not on a fixed timetable like he does. But I accepted his time table."
"Yet you didn't run away."
"Anyway, since that was barrier three, he showed me my room. It was bare, as you might expect with the words die Sheldon die, all caps, written in red paint on the wall. He simply commented by saying I should repaint."
"Okay, and after all that, you just moved in?" she asked and seeing that her toenails were dry, she got up to get something to drink.
"No, I didn't just move in. First we had to iron out a few details." he replied. "We spent hours going over the roommate agreement. Every little thing, including the Friday night TV schedule, the apartment flag and what to do if one of us invented time travel."
"Why on earth did you agree to all that?" she asked, handing him a can of soda, taking the water bottle for herself.
"It was the best apartment I'd seen, the rent was very reasonable and after you've passed the first three barriers you kind of want to take it all the way."
"Well, I'm sorry, Leonard, it's very hard to feel sympathy for you." she said and handed him the bottle of nail polish, putting her feet on his legs. "Your hands are better suited to finish my man-toes.
"Okay, how about this? Let me tell you about the first time I brought a girl over."
"Why, what happened then?"
"Her name was Joyce Kim, she was from South Korea on an exchange program and she approached me in the university cafeteria. We hit it off and that night, she was spending it with my at my new apartment."
"So?"
"Sheldon knocked and came in, already spouting off about me violating the roommate agreement because I didn't tell him twelve hours in advance that I would be having sex with a woman in my room. Not to mention the fact that I didn't even know Joyce twelve hours before."
"Oh, my God." she chuckled.
"Do I get some sympathy now?" he asked.
"A little bit." she nodded. "Okay. Let me get this straight. You move in with this guy, he makes you sign a ridiculous roommate agreement, then he walks into your bedroom while you're doing this Joyce Kim, and you still stay?"
"Actually, I couldn't get too mad at him about Joyce Kim." he told her while painting her nails.
"Why not?"
"Well, I was doing some government research at the time, you know, military, rocket fuel. It's kind of secret."
"What does that have to do with Joyce Kim?" she asked.
"As it turns out, she was a North Korean spy. Luckily, Sheldon drove her out before I revealed anything important. Which I'm not saying I would have." he replied, knowing she wouldn't believe the last sentence.
"So what, that's it? You've stayed with Sheldon all this time because he kept you from going to federal prison?"
"That was part of it. The other part is what happened with the elevator."
"Oh, yeah, I'm wondering about that. You said it was working when you moved in."
"It was, but one night, Sheldon came home from work and on that day, I had met and invited Howard and Raj. I had bought the couch and they had helped get it upstairs and when Sheldon came home, we were playing a video game."
"Was that the day he created his spot?"
"Pretty much. After me and the guys went to Howard's house while Sheldon proclaimed the left side of the couch to be his spot."
"Okay, how do you know he did that? You weren't in the room anymore."
"Hey, do you want me to finish working on your man feet or not?"
"Man feet? Say the one with the girly hands." she huffed and received a glare from him. "Fine. Go ahead."
"You have met Howard's mom, haven't you?" he asked.
"Yes, why?" she nodded.
"Well, when Howard brought us to his house, the first thing I asked was if she was his dad."
"Why?"
"Her voice was much deeper and she had hair in her face, apparently she had some hormonal treatment." he told her and released her feet. "All done."
"Thanks." she smiled. "Give me your hands."
"Why?"
"I'm gonna paint your fingernails." she stated, holding up the small brush.
"Again, why?"
"Because it's fun."
"No, it isn't."
"Shut up and give me your hand."
"Fine." he sighed and let her paint his fingernails.
"So, what does this visit to Howard have to do with the elevator?"
"Getting to that. Howard had a rocket in his room."
"A rocket? Now you're being ridiculous."
"Not a full-sized one. It was a scale model but it was able to fly if it had the right fuel, the same fuel I was working with so I told him that it was his lucky day."
"Why was it his lucky day?" she interrupted again.
"Well, it turns out I had a little rocket fuel in the apartment." he replied.
"What were you doing with rocket fuel in your apartment?"
"Joyce Kim was kind of curious about what I did for a living, and I was going to kind of show it to her."
"I knew it." she chuckled. "Always thinking with your other brain."
"Anyway, it's not important. The point is, the guys and I went back to the apartment..."
"Are we ever going to get to the elevator?" she stopped him again.
"Yeah, we're really close. So, we're at the apartment and I got the canister with the fuel basis. Since my formula was based on full-sized rockets, I adjusted it for the size of Howard's but I made a teeny-tiny mistake."
"Define teeny-tiny."
"The canister started spewing smoke and I was about to bring it outside. As the elevator opened, Sheldon ripped the canister out of my hands, put it into the elevator and pushed me out of it. A few seconds after it closed, the canister exploded, taking the elevator with it. Not only did Sheldon save my life, he didn't rat me out to the landlord. Or the police. Or Homeland Security."
"Okay, so, basically, you're the reason I have to walk up and down three flights of stairs every day?" she asked.
"So I did something stupid. I'm sure you did stupid things when you were younger. What were you doing seven years ago?"
"Excuse me, I was in high school. Studying, keeping my nose clean, doing volunteer work for the community." she protested.
"Yeah, right." he laughed. "You were probably partying or hoping you didn't forget to take your pill after waking up with yet another guy."
"Hey!" she slapped his leg. "Fine, something like that."
"I knew it." he grinned.
"All done." she proclaimed, putting the brush back into the bottle and shutting it.
"Great. Now hand me the remover."
"You're no fun." she pouted.
"I'm fun. I just don't see much sense in painting parts of myself." he said and started to clear the pink off his nails. "By the way, did you know that Howard and Bernadette had broken up?"
"Yes, Bernie told me yesterday. But she didn't want to tell me the reason, only that it's apparently something very embarrassing." she replied. "How do you know? Howard always said that everything was fine."
"When Raj asked him why he would want to participate in a three- or foursome, he spilled the beans or according to him, he was waiting for the right time to tell us and that was the right time."
"If Howard was willing to do a threesome, why didn't he stay?" Penny asked.
"When I pointed out that we all would be naked in front of each other, he opted out immediately."
"Oh, well... you wouldn't have had anything to worry about." she winked at him.
"Thanks. I do my best."
"Oh, you do so much more." she sighed dreamily.
"By the way, do you have any summer plans?" he suddenly asked.
"You mean apart from spending it with you? Nothing actually planned, why?"
"When you were at Disneyland with Sheldon, your mom and I had a little talk and she told me that she'd be happy to welcome us on the farm again." he told her.
"What did you say?"
"That nothing was concrete. Remember, we hadn't yet made up."
"Right." she nodded. "So, you want to?"
"Do you?"
"Of course, I always love to see my parents and spend time on the farm."
"Then I think we should go for a week or two again." he smiled. "After next week, I have three weeks of vacation coming up, so if you can manage to get two or three off as well, we can go."
"I love you so much." she gushed and kissed him. "I just have Mike move my shifts around but then I will have more ten hour days again. Hey, want to know something crazy?"
"Sure." he hesitated.
"Remember when I told you that I had a guy at the gym pull my earplugs out because I wouldn't recognize him?"
"Yeah."
"Yesterday at the gym, it happened again. Some guy named Zack said he heard that I was single and asked me to go to a party. I told him to go away and he said, he'll pick me up next Friday."
"Where did he hear that you were single?"
"Apparently Howard shared the video of me running out of the bowling alley with everyone on facebook with the caption 'inevitable end of a relationship'. Although I didn't even change my facebook status."
"I haven't either."
"So either that Zack guy is a complete moron or simply doesn't listen when a woman says something." she shook her head.
"What kind of party? Private or some event somewhere?"
"Don't know and don't care."
"Okay." he nodded. "Want some dinner?"
"Sure."
"What do you have here?"
"Um... pasta, potatoes, some eggs." she recounted the contents of her cupboards and fridge. "I need to do some grocery shopping."
"Tomorrow, you need to get gas first." he reminded her. "Wanna eat fried potatoes?"
"Why not." she said and smiled at him as he stood up and rummaged through her potatoes to find the smallest one he could find.
He took a moderate sized pot and filled with to half with potatoes before filling it with water and putting it on the stove. While the potatoes boiled in their skin, she made him watch another episode of Sex and the City, the sixth season he had dreaded already being in her possession. After half an hour, he excused himself to peel the cooked potatoes, cursing at how hot they were.
After peeling them, he cut them into slices and prepared a large pan with some cooking fat, waiting for it to get liquid and cooking before putting the sliced potatoes into the pan. He stirred them a bit, then covered the pan with its lid and let them fry while he cracked three eggs and scrambled them in a glass to create a yellow-y thick liquid.
Penny watched him work in fascination, his every move comfortable as if he was doing them every day. After ten more minutes of frying and stirring, he poured the eggs over the entire potato mass and stirred them again for two more minutes before shutting off the stove and putting an equal amount of food on two plates while she got some forks and placed two plate coasters on the kitchen island for them to put their plates on.
"Mhh, that tastes good." she commented and blew some air on her next helping, for they were really hot.
"Thanks. One of the meals I can cook really good since it doesn't really take much effort." he said.
They both ate in silence while the episode ran its course on TV and the second started automatically, much to Leonard's chagrin. When both were done, Penny took the plates and washed them, then dragged Leonard back to the couch to make him watch the episode. She put her head on his shoulder and her feet on the coffee table, with him copying her action after taking his shoes off.
He closed his eyes and let the boring dialog wash over him, trying to count the seconds away by doing equations inside his head. Opening his eyes, he looked at his girlfriend when she shifted slightly and his eyes wandered down to her chest, where he saw that she apparently wasn't wearing a bra.
"I can see your nipples through your shirt." he chuckled, staring at the two points poking against the fabric..
"That's because they are hard." she said. "And I'm not wearing any underwear." she added with a whisper.
"Really?" he grinned and gripped her sides, tickling her gently in the ribs. "And what are you trying to tell me with that fact?"
"You're a genius, figure it out." she chuckled.
"You want to make love again." he stated, sure of himself.
"Actually, no." she shook her head.
"No?"
"No. We made love several times during the last two days and believe me, it was amazing. But when Sheldon said that thing about the bonus night, it got me thinking." she mused.
"About what?"
"I want you to fuck me." she stated, looking him straight in the eyes to make him realize that she was dead serious.
"What?" he squealed, swallowing hard.
"Fuck me as like this really was a bonus night. Hold me with my hair, fuck me hard as if this was the last night we ever had." she said. "Which it won't be, of course." she quickly added.
He scrambled to take his pants and shorts off, revealing the impressive erection she so loved in all its glory, making her proud that she had achieved that just with her words. Suddenly, he jumped up and ran into her bedroom, ignoring her questioning look. She had waited only for a couple of seconds when he came back out, busy with wrapping one of her rubber bands, which had a clip to close it, around his base, making her shudder with anticipation.
Before she could comprehend it, Leonard grabbed her legs and swung her around, turning her on her stomach and letting her legs go down to the floor so that she was standing bent over the side of her couch, her ass in the air. He shoved her pants down and ran his hand over her folds, feeling the moisture that had appeared there minutes ago.
"Hrghn!" she groaned when she shoved his entire girth into her in one swift move, filling her out completely again.
"Did I hurt you?" he asked concerned.
"No, now start mov... fuck!" she cursed when he did just that, slamming into her in a fast interval, the angle reliably perfect for maximum pleasure.
"Uh... uh... uh... uh... uh..." she groaned in sync with his thrusts.
He grabbed both her arms and held them at the elbows, using them to hold her upper body straight and as leverage to thrust into her. He slammed into her with a force she had never experienced, with any guy she had, and soon cried out her first climax which he, as usual, ignored to continue nailing her.
To her ears, the sound of their bodies crashing together must have been audible from across the street and for minute after minute, Leonard rocked his hips forward and back with every ounce of strength he possessed, causing black spots to appear in her vision from her eyes fluttering and rolling back.
"Christ!" she shouted in another climax and he pulled her body vertical so that they were standing right behind each other while he continued moving.
One of his hands moved between her legs and started rubbing her clit, causing her to experience even more pleasure while the change in angle brought a very slight easing but his hand evened that out easily. When he suddenly stopped moving, the silence in the room was deafening and Penny thought she had lost her hearing altogether when she realized that she heard him pant over her own breathing.
He wrapped one arm around her midriff and the other around her upper body over her breasts and lifted her up an inch to carry her into the bedroom. She pushed her legs behind his and pressed her feet against his calves, her own weight impaling her on his manhood, causing more explosions of pleasure just from the bouncing of his walk.
After reaching the bed, he dropped her almost unceremoniously, pulling out of her in the process, much to her dismay and walked around the bed. He grabbed the back of her head and lined his manhood up with her mouth, which opened almost automatically at his approach. He pushed into her mouth and groaned at the sensation while she let her tongue twirl around the tip and tasting herself on his skin.
His display of confidence and self assurance paired with this dominating streak that was such an antithesis to his shy behavior out in the world sometimes had her obey him, even though he never ordered her around. But she knew that the only reason she was so submissive to him in that regard were the facts that he would never hurt her on purpose during sex and that he was willing to do the same for her. The four hours of constant licking he did on the day of the Kim and Cheryl reveal was prove enough. As he kept thrusting into her mouth, she let her mind wander a bit and realized her position on the bed, making her snort.
"What's so funny?" he asked, pulling out.
"Nothing. I just realized, the way I'm lying here, if I had a tail, I would be wagging it." he laughed.
"Well, we did doggy already." he chuckled. "Get on your back."
She did as he said and turned around, squeaking in surprise when he immediately pushed her legs back and to her shoulders before entering her again. He placed his feet on the bed and began pummeling her hard, the familiar sound of slapping reverberating through the room. She squealed in pleasure at his effort, he was doing exactly what she asked him.
She knew that she was flexible but had never thought she was able to have her legs bend into a position like she was in now. Her left was over his shoulder, her knee pretty much squeezing her left breast while her right was straight and at an angle to their bodies, his left hand holding it down so that her foot would be touching the wall is her leg was any longer. She could see and hear him trying to hold out longer but knew that the only thing keeping him from climaxing right now was the rubber band.
Remembering that he had asthma, she grew concerned at his labored breathing even as yet another orgasm crashed into her brain, making coherent thought almost impossible. She blindly grabbed between them, fingering for the clipper that held the rubber band together while he made it hard with his fast and hard thrusts.
After a minute of unsuccessful attempts, not helped by the constant moaning she couldn't stop, she pressed two of her fingers against his manhood to get a sense of size and placement and felt her fingertips getting coated with her arousal fluids. On his thirtieth thrust, or more, she finally managed to grab on to the clip and used her two fingers to open it, causing the rubber to snap away like someone had thrown it.
Leonard climaxed immediately, sounding almost in pain as he groaned while he unloaded. He let go of her legs and collapsed onto her chest, his head next to hers. She blindly grabbed to her left, opening her drawer and getting his inhaler out, holding it out for him.
"I'm okay." he panted but took it anyway, belying his statement when he did take a deep gulp from the inhaler and his breathing calmed down. "Jesus, that was something."
"I know." she grinned and stretched her body.
"I'm totally bombed out."
"When I said fuck me, boy, you didn't mess around. If this is how you do a bonus night, maybe we should break up." she joked and saw his shocked expression. "Kidding!"
"I hope so. Would be hard to find another woman to keep up with me." he laughed.
"Keep up with you?" she mocked. "Sweetie, I would beat you at this every time."
"Well, true, but you have the advantage of not having to reload after a discharge."
"I know, I'm awesome." she chuckled.
"You are."
"And next time, I'm gonna show you what I would do if that had been our last night." she pointed out. "Including making you lick me as long as I want. And if you think I will be anywhere but on top, you will be mistaken."
"Not really a threat, you know I love it when you're on top." he winked.
"You know, a cynic might say, we're sexually incompatible." she mused.
"Why?"
"Well, think about it. We both love it when the other is dominant. I love it when you take me from behind when I'm prone, you love it when I'm on top."
"True. But since we both have no problem with taking charge, that cynic would be wrong."
"You're right." she sighed and stretched once more. "Boy, I'm sure I will be sore tomorrow. And don't you apologize, it will be the good kind of sore."
"I wonder if Sheldon has figured out that we're still together."
"What a way to crush the mood, talking about your crazy roommate." Penny shook her head as Leonard's phone buzzed with a message.
"Can you get my phone please?" he asked. "It's in my pants pocket next to the bed."
"Sure." she leaned down and got the phone, handing it to him. "Whose it from?"
"Howard." he replied and read the message. "Oh boy."
"What? What did he say?" she asked and he held the screen to her so she could read for herself.
Penny is already shacking up with a new lover. Heard her screaming through the wall. Sorry buddy.
"Then will get old fast." Leonard sighed.
"Meh, don't sweat it. Just remember that you're the one making me scream in pleasure." she grinned and then her own phone rang. "Boy, luckily they didn't call ten minutes ago." she added and picked it up.
"Who is it?"
"It's Marie." Penny said surprised and clicked the accept call button. "Hello?... Hi... I thought you moved away?... Really?... Sure, a party sounds nice... what?... He is? I already shut him down... Fine, but I don't know if I can come, I need to do some double shifts so I can take a vacation... Sure, see you there... Bye."
"Marie?" he asked after she had put her phone down again.
"Yeah, you know her. You picked me up from her place once, remember?"
"Right. When you jumped me and basically licked my face." he chuckled. "What did she want?"
"That guy Zack I told you about, the one from the gym? He's a friend of Eric, Marie's boyfriend. He was supposed to invite me to her welcome back party but he didn't mention her."
"You want to go to this party?" he asked.
"I would like to go, been a long time since I've seen her. Why, you want to come with me?"
"Not really. But if you wanna go, I have no problem."
"Great. And I promise I won't get smashed." she smiled.
"Come on, lets get cleaned up and then to bed. You have an early shift tomorrow again."
"Ugh, don't remind me." she groaned and followed him into the bathroom.
As they lay together in the bathtub, soaking in the scented and soapy water, she let her mind wander to the near future. She hoped that Mike would be able to give her those two weeks off and if that worked, they would soon be back with her parents, enjoying the summer on the farm and with the horses. And now that Marie was back, she might get a little female companionship again, now that her two former best friends had moved away.
Or she could try to really befriend Bernadette. Ever since she dated Howard, for however short it was, Penny had seen what a nice girl she was and how much worth to know she is.
Gonna stop here. I caught a cold and I fear it's going to really hit me tomorrow or on Tuesday.
Still, review please :)
