"Uggs with shorts, those were the days" - Kaley Cuoco

A/N: A silly little thowback to the BBT golden days, inspired by her recent interview for W Magazine

Penny dropped by her neighbours for dinner and a movie evening routine. Even though she had to put up with Howard's neverending flirts and Sheldon's rules, it was still better and more importantly, cheaper entertainment compared to spending her mid week evening alone or clubbing out.

"Hey guys! What are we watching tonight?"

As always, her entrance drew the attention of the three nerds already sitting around the TV. This time with a flowery purple, slim tank top and a tight mini skirt, reaching to her mid thighs.

She sat in her usual spot in the middle of the leather couch and bent one leg under her, like she usually did when she came over to 4A. She bent the other to rest her heel on the edge of the cushion.

Raj made a puppy noise and Leonard tried to warn her, but Sheldon already noticed. He returned from the kitchen to her and stared into her feet. She was wearing her latest purchase, resting her feet on the cushion.

"Hey Sheldon, like my new Uggs?" Penny wiggled her feet a little and looked up at him teasingly. They proved to be very comfortable and kept her legs warm when wearing her usual scanty attire around the apartments. She waited for his reaction, not moving on purpose. She quickly noticed his serious gleaming stare and dark blue eyes she adored more and more.

"While I do find your company pleasant during movie nights, would you mind taking those off my couch?"

"But I'm more comfortable this way..." She tried to flirt her way out of the confrontation with her sad puppy eyes.

Sheldon suddenly grabbed her smooth calves, one with each hand. He pulled her down to half-laying, with her legs now up in the air and spread apart. Enough to make her shriek. Her getting pulled down also made her skirt hike up her legs a little.

"Sheldon! What are you… Let me go!" Penny was taken completely by surprise. She did not expect him to be this direct or rude.

She tried to wiggle and kick free, but his grip was strong enough. She was in an inferior position to put up any resistance but also didn't want to kick him in the face by accident.

"As soon as I get these boots off."

"Ugh… Fine." Penny sighed and let him do that. She stopped moving around and relaxed.

He slowly slid his hands upwards, over her ankles and heels to pull her boots off, both at the same time. Her sexy feet with red painted toenails revealed when her footwear fell down on the floor.

Penny was short on her breath, knowing he could see right under her short skirt, which already slid up her thighs when she struggled with him. Their stares remained locked, she felt completely submitted at this point. Lying down trapped on his couch, her feet held firmly in his hands, as his tall figure towered over her. Sheldon couldn't resist a little tickle of her soles, which inadvertently drew a faint moan and a giggle from her lips.

He held her feet up with his left hand and leaned down. He put his right hand next to her butt and wiped the leather a few times to make it clean. Even though she wore those fuzzy boots only around her apartment for a few hours after buying them, it was enough to set off her neighbour's cleanliness alarms.

"That's strike one, Penny." He brought her legs back down.

Penny was blushed and a little embarrassed after he finally let her go. She pulled herself up and quickly straightened up her skirt. Never had a guy have his way with her like this before. A thought which got her libido humming again.

Holding her up like that by her legs, her instincts desired more from him. If the room was empty, he could easily take off her skirt as well… Her naughty mind couldn't stop thinking what else he would have in store for her after disobeying his rules.

Raj and Howard remained speechless about what just happened, but Leonard felt the need to apologise.

"Penny, I'm so sorry. What the hell, man? How can you be this rude to her!?"

"It's ok, Leonard, really." Penny smiled and once again noticed how different Leonard was from Sheldon. He was always giving her free passes on everything and always trying to protect her. She knew he was just trying to be being nice all the time, but that's just not what she found attractive.

"I always hold everyone to the same level of behaviour. Are you suggesting I should ignore hers because of her looks and you expecting coitus? Your white-knighting knows no bounds. Now hush. Movie is about to start."

Sheldon resolved the situation in a way which was much more to Penny's liking.

"Maybe later you can take off more than just my Uggs" she whispered to his ear, when he sat down next to her. This made his lips curl a little in a mischievous smile as he hit the play button on the remote. Score one for dominant behaviour.

THE END
