Penny left her apartment with her basket of half worn, half unworn clothes. She didn't have enough to make a full load, so she unfolded some t-shirts and made it look like she had worn enough clothes to do her laundry. It was 8:20, Penny knew that he was already downstairs. She could picture him checking his watch and huffing about her lateness. She quickly walked through the lobby toward the laundry room. She felt nervous even though she had done this a thousand times before.
She stood in the door to the laundry room and watched Sheldon as he filled a washer and carefully measured out his laundry detergent. Penny cleared her throat and walked to the washer beside him. She looked at him as she set her basket down on the washer beside her washer. He continued doing his laundry.
"You're late." Sheldon lightly scolded, clearly enunciating his words. Penny watched him as he poured his laundry detergent into the wash and closed the lid. As soon as the lid closed, his eyes snapped up to meet hers. Penny felt like her body was on fire. The way he looked at her made her feel like she could melt onto the floor.
"Sorry." She quietly said as she opened the lid to her washer and stuffed her clothes inside. A pair of turquoise panties fell to the floor and Sheldon was quick to pick them up for her. Penny blushed as he handed them over to her. Penny didn't hesitate to grasp at them, but when she went to take them out of his hand he wouldn't let go. They stared intensely at each other for a few moments before Sheldon let go with a sly grin decorating his lips. Penny blushed even further and stuffed them into the wash, dumped some detergent over her clothes and started the machine.
Penny jumped up onto the washer and let her legs dangle over the edge. She could feel the machine filling up underneath her. Sheldon quickly moved between her legs and carefully placed his hands on her hips. Penny smiled as he studied her face.
"You know the washing machine isn't a chair, right?" Sheldon sardonically asked her. Penny rolled her eyes and softly ran her finger tips up his forearms, gently gripping at his bicep, and finally settling on his shoulders. She pressed her lips together and narrowed her eyes at him for a moment. She smiled.
"I know." She simply replied. Sheldon nodded and he gripped at her hips a little tighter. Penny licked her lips. Sheldon wasn't one for chit chat any way. She ran her hand through his hair and gently held the back of his neck as she kissed his lips. Sheldon softly kissed her back as he allowed his hands to explore the small of her back.
Penny knew that things could get carried away, again, but she didn't care. She let him slide his hands underneath her shirt so he could further explore her soft skin with his hands. His fingertips were cold against her warm skin, a shudder ran down her spine and she could feel her nipples harden. She kissed him harder, pulling him further into her. Her tongue crashed against his as he softly parted his lips. Penny felt him pulling her lower body further toward him, she wrapped her legs around his waist to steady herself.
Sheldon's hands were quick to move down her back, past her hips and grip at her thighs. Penny softly sighed into their kiss as she felt her body tingling. Sheldon kept one hand on her thigh and the other traveled up her body, he hesitantly hovered over her t-shirt covered breast before he placed his hand at her side. His hand rubbed her ribs as he gently sucked on her lower lip. Sheldon's teeth lightly grazed her soft flesh as he pulled away from their heated kiss.
Penny tried to catch her breath as Sheldon placed his lips just under her earlobe. His hand twisted into her hair and Penny felt her heart pounding in her chest. Sheldon softly kissed at her neck and it drove Penny crazy. She licked her kiss swollen lips, they ached to be kissed again. She pulled away from him and brought her lips to his ear. Penny gently teased him as she licked and nibbled at his earlobe.
"Oh God." Sheldon whispered. Penny grinned against his neck, she resumed kissing at his ear lobe, softly letting out a moan into his ear as his hands dug into her. Sheldon pulled away and looked Penny in the face. His expression was vacant, but his eyes were wild. Penny had seen this look many times. She knew that if they didn't stop, they wouldn't be able to. Penny tried to control her breathing. She watched as Sheldon's chest heaved while he tried to do the same.
"Penny-" Sheldon began. Penny quickly interrupted.
"I know, I'm sorry." She sheepishly apologized. Sheldon licked at his lips and continued.
"Penny, I think that we need to stop doing this to ourselves. It's getting to be too much an-" He started to explain, but Penny interrupted him again.
"Sheldon, I'm sorry. I'll behave. I promise." Penny said as she held up her two fingers to give him the Scouts honor. Sheldon softly smiled at her gesture. He pressed his forehead to hers. She could hear his soft shallow breath and she could smell his fresh scent. It was oddly intimate sharing the same oxygen with someone like this.
"What if I don't want you to behave?" Sheldon softly asked as he pulled away to look into her face. Penny sat speechless on the washer. Sheldon searched her face for something.
"Then I don't have to behave." Penny answered. She bit at her lip as he continued his search. He brushed her hair behind her ear and cupped her face as he kissed her. Penny felt dizzy. Maybe she was dreaming. It was another Sheldon sex dream and she was in her apartment asleep on the couch. Sheldon gently coaxed her off of the washer and led her toward the door with her still firmly attached to his lips. Penny stopped and looked into his face. It was soft and full of this need to be satisfied.
"What about the laundry?" Penny asked. As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted them. It was almost like she was sabotaging this experience. Sheldon grasped her hand tighter.
"Forget the laundry." Sheldon said as he lead her out of the laundry room toward the elevator. As soon as the door opened, they got in. Like magnets, they found each other. Penny couldn't get over the fact that Sheldon was taking her upstairs to have his way with her. It reminded her of his party, only this time he was the boyfriend. There was nothing standing in her way.
The two stumbled into Sheldon's apartment and as soon as the door closed, he picked her up and walked toward his bedroom. His kisses became more urgent as he walked down the hallway. Penny was surprised with his physical strength, though perhaps it was one of those things where the adrenaline gives you super human strength. Penny pushed the thoughts out of her head as Sheldon placed her onto his bed. His room was dimly lit by his night light, but Penny liked it. She thought it added to the mood.
She watched him as he watched her. His breaths were ragged like hers. She noticed the outline of his arousal in his pants and she couldn't help but grin. She hoped that wasn't a phaser in his pocket. Sheldon moved between her legs and pushed up her t-shirt. His lips pressed softly against her abdomen in slow agonizing kisses. Penny quickly removed her shirt. She wasn't wearing a bra.
Sheldon ran the tip of his tongue along the swell of her breast. Penny softly moaned as he licked at her nipple. A chill ran through her body, peppering her flesh with goose bumps. Sheldon grinned and continued his way along her body. He kissed at her collarbone and nibbled at her neck, while Penny reached for the button on his pants.
Penny unbuttoned his pants and began pulling them past his hips, down his thighs. Sheldon sat on his heels and quickly removed his shirts. Penny's eyes traveled from the trail of hair the disappeared into his briefs to his solid core. Penny was shocked at the amount of muscles on this skinny nerd. Though she had seen his chest before, this was the first time she was actually seeing him. He was full of sharp angles and edges. His clavicle jutted out above his pectoral muscles and his hip bones pressed against his flesh.
Penny licked at her suddenly dry lips as she stared at his arousal. It was straining against his briefs. Penny reached out to touch him and he quickly stopped her. He grasped her wrist and pinned it above her head. Penny grinned into the kiss that he planted on her lips. His chest brushed against hers and she tried getting out of his grip, but failed. Sheldon was quick to pull her sweatpants down her legs and off her feet with his free hand.
"You don't have a boyfriend do you?" He teasingly asked against her lips.
"I do, he's a Nobel Prize winning physicist. Maybe you know him." Penny whispered. As Sheldon kissed her, he pressed his body against hers, the only thing separating them were his briefs. His arousal strained against hers and Sheldon moaned into their kiss. Penny's head was swimming, she wanted to feel him inside of her, her whole body ached for the sensation. Sheldon pulled away and went digging through his nightstand. He pulled out a condom and clutched it in his palm as he took off his watch and tossed it on the table next to the lamp.
Penny gently tugged at his briefs, letting his hardness spring free from their confines. He quickly removed them and Penny stared with wide eyes. He was even more impressive outside of the briefs. Penny studied him intently. Sheldon was a tall guy, and Penny was happy with the way he was proportioned. She watched as he opened the condom and slid it onto himself. He brought himself closer to her, his lips hovered over her body. Penny let out a shaky breath as he brushed his hardness against her slick folds.
She could feel him press against her entrance. Sheldon stared into her eyes and Penny felt like she was doing this for the first time. She nervously licked her lips and felt him pressing into her. She stretched around his swollen tip as he entered her. Penny watched his expression as he filled her with his arousal. His face was soft and his eyes were closed. He lightly bit at his lip and she was sure he was logging everything into his memory.
Penny felt him slowly move in and out of her and it felt amazing. She could feel him throbbing inside of her, he would pull out only to thrust back inside of her. Penny moaned as Sheldon found a comfortable rhythm and he buried his face into her hair. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and held him closer to her as they worked their way toward bliss.
Sheldon managed to wrap his arms around her and he pulled her up, into his lap. Penny sat on him with her legs wrapped around him, she slowly worked herself along his length. Penny felt the room start to spin and the edges of her vision began to blur. She could feel her climax building and she wanted to get there with Sheldon. He held her close as he thrust into her, meeting her halfway.
"Oh God Sheldon." Penny groaned into his neck. Their chests heaved against each other as they fought to breathe. Their bodies stuck to one another as they writhed perfectly in sync together. Sheldon kissed at her neck and pulled her harder onto himself. His breath was shallow, he softly whispered 'Oh God' in her ear over and over as he was getting closer to his orgasm. Penny was close too, she cried out and buried him deep within her.
Sheldon pushed her back on the bed and selfishly drove into her. She let him. Penny watched his face as he came, his brows furrowed and he bit at his lip. Penny felt him thrust deeply into her one last time, he ground himself against her clit and that sent her over the edge. As he twitched inside of her, she felt her walls tighten around him. Penny came just as he finished.
Sheldon collapsed on the bed beside Penny. He stared at her, examining her flushed face. His eyes traveled down her body, she glistened with perspiration. Penny turned to him and smiled. He breathed heavily, offering her a soft half smile in return. They studied each other in silence.
"I'm sorry." Sheldon apologized. Penny softly raised her eyebrows at him.
"Don't be, that was amazing." She reassured him. Sheldon smirked.
"No, I mean I'm sorry that I made you wait for so long." He restated. Penny nodded. She wasn't sorry, the sexual tension between them built for so long that it made the sex explosive. She turned on her side and placed her hand on his chest. He placed his hand over top of hers and gently ran his fingers over the back of her hand.
"This is slightly embarrassing, but I've known you for years and I just didn't want to be another guy who didn't come back." Sheldon told her. Penny licked her lips. His eyes met hers.
"I wanted to be the guy." He further explained. Penny couldn't help but grin. She gently kissed his cheek and laid her temple on his shoulder.
"Don't be sorry that we waited. It was totally worth it." Penny told him. The two laid in silence for a few moments. Sheldon held onto her hand and kissed her forehead.
"Sheldon, growing up in Nebraska sucked. I was treated like a boy until I hit puberty, I was always dad's farm-hand because my brother was too busy hanging out with a bunch of stoners and my sister, who was eight years older than me, got pregnant at sixteen. I may not be a genius, but I was the only person smart enough to leave that hell hole as soon I could." Penny finished. Sheldon was quiet. She knew that he was probably judging her and she instantly regretted her decision of opening up to him.
"Penny?" Sheldon softly asked. Penny propped herself up on her elbow. His blue eyes settled on her green eyes and he softly smiled at her.
"Thank you for sharing that with me." He said. Penny returned his smile and leaned in to softly kiss him. It was quick and chaste, but when he kissed her back, she knew she was done for, he was definitely the guy.
"I want you to know that I would never be critical of you, Penny. I'm here for you, you know that right?" He continued. Penny nodded.
"I know that." She confirmed. Sheldon smiled.
"Good." He said as he turned his attention toward the ceiling. Penny laid back down and stared up at the ceiling too. Her mind wandered to the laundry.
"I wonder if the washers are done." Penny wondered out loud. Sheldon quickly sat up in his bed and grasped his watch off of his night table.
"Shit." He said as he pulled off his condom and tossed it in the trash bin beside his dresser. He quickly put on a pair of flannel pajama bottoms and a white t-shirt. He tossed his flannel pajama top onto his bed as he searched his closet for his robe. Penny was quick to pull his pajama top over her naked body. Sheldon turned around and eyed her. He pressed his lips together and threw his robe on, grabbed a fist full of change off his dresser and left to attend to the laundry.
Penny was quite sure that she had never heard him swear before, and she was beginning to think that maybe she broke him. It didn't matter though. She liked the Sheldon who threw his caution to the wind and let a few profanities slip out. She smiled as she walked into the kitchen wearing his pajama top. She picked up the kettle, filled it with water and turned on the stove to heat the water. She pulled out two mugs from the cupboard and waited for his return. Her mind wandered to the amazing sex that they had together and how spur of the moment it seemed.
The kettle whistled and Sheldon returned. He took off his robe and tossed it on a stool at the island. He wore his t-shirt and pajama bottoms. It was so sexy. Penny had never seen him only wear a t-shirt, he always wore a long sleeved shirt underneath. Penny put two peppermint tea bags into the mugs and poured the hot water over them. She set a mug in front of Sheldon and watched his bicep flex as he wrapped his hands around the warm mug. His gaze caught hers and he smirked.
"Comfortable?" He asked. Penny nodded.
"Yep." She replied, popping the 'P'.
The two drank their tea in silence, Penny decided to move their tea party over to the living room. After all, she had about an hour before her clothes were dry. Sheldon put on the Firefly blueray, and they began watching the episodes with commentary. Penny could get accustomed to doing her laundry with Sheldon again. She almost forgot how much she missed laundry night and liked it even more, now there was a twist to it.
After finshing their laundry and staying up to watch Firefly, Penny told him that she should be going. Sheldon offered a better solution, he proposed that she stayed the night. Penny agreed and they ended up having sex twice more that night. One brick at a time, and the walls could slowly come down.
