"Brother, Is it true? Am I to be an auntie again?" Hyacinth squealed. Gregory remained silent next to her but had a grin on his face as well.
Colin did not answer, he simply groaned and whispered a curse underneath his breath. Hyacinth began to approach them and directed her attention then to Penelope who simply nodded and smiled at her.
"AHH!" she screamed excitedly and embraced Penelope in the tightest embrace.
"Hyacinth! Please you need to learn that cannot keep embracing my wife so tightly." Colin stated with a chuckle.
Both Penelope and Hyacinth, however, were in a fit of giggles. Tears brimming in their eyes.
"Congratulations brother." Gregory looked up to Colin. "I do hope you have a son so I may be able to teach them to fence and use a bow as you've taught me." He beamed.
"I think I would love that very much brother." Colin looked at his younger brother with pride. Trying to stop his eyes from glistening at the thought of seeing Gregory with his future son. He wouldn't dare tell anyone, but he was secretly hoping for a little girl with bright red hair and even brighter blue eyes like his wife. The thought of it alone was enough to make his heart melt.
"Well, should we celebrate with some tea in the drawing room?" Violet interrupted the moment.
...
Penelope closed her book and removed the covers. Placing her bare feet on the cold floor, rearranging her nightdress slightly, she placed the book down on her vanity in the corner of the room. She sighed it was getting late and Colin had yet to enter their bedchamber. She opened the door to the attached study finding her husband exactly where she expected to find him at his desk writing. She took a moment to take in her husband's appearance. His eyes were sunken in the circles under them darker than usual. His jaw was clench she could feel the tension radiating off of him.
"Colin, are you coming to bed soon?" she asked as she circled his desk. Running her hands along his broad shoulders and down his arms trying to relieve some of the pent-up tension he's been carrying with him. She leaned down and gave him a gentle kiss on his neck followed by another slightly further down moving his open shirt lower kissing him where his neck met his shoulder. He groaned.
"I apologize. Time must have passed me by."
"What are you working on?" she inquired as she continued to run her hands up and down his arms.
"I have been trying to write to Anthony and Kate. Well and also Francesca and John. And Eloise. I seem to be stuck. I can't seem to articulate my words properly." He sighed.
"Perhaps I could help you?" He craned his neck back to look her in the eyes. "Afterall it is both of our happy news, no?" She grinned at him.
He gave her a quick tender kiss.
"Of course. But maybe tomorrow?" He gave her a smirk. "Tonight, I would like to take my wife to bed." He said as he stood up and leaned down, surprising her by placing one arm under her knees and the other on her waist, lifting her up and turning towards their bedchamber. She squealed.
"Colin! Put me down." She was giggling. All he could do was grin as he placed her gently on their bed. His letters were quickly forgotten as he had much more important matters to tend to.
"As lovely as this nightdress is-" Colin began moving the sleeve of the silky blue material off her shoulders. "I would much rather be seeing it on the floor." His voice deepened.
Penelope began breathing heavily as her eyes darkened in anticipation. Colin started by kissing her neck then her shoulder her collarbone he continued as more and more skin began to be exposed to him. Kissing lower and lower until he was able to pull the nightdress off her completely.
Once she was completely bare before him couldn't take his gaze away from her stomach which was once soft and lush is now delightfully round growing their child. He immediately reached for her stomach rubbing gentle circles along it. He leaned down and whispered in her ear. "This will forever be my favorite sight. Watching you grow knowing our child is growing as well fills me with so much pride Pen."
She looks up at him with tears in her eyes. Pulls him down by the base of his neck and gives him a deep passionate kiss.
Pulling their lips apart her hands quickly began untucking his shirt and pulling it over his head. She reached up grabbing him by his shoulder dragging him back down towards her attaching their lips this time more hungrily. His hands continued to roam over her body taking his time to admire every curve. He moved his kisses back towards her collarbone. His hands massaging her breasts making sure to give her nipples the attention she desired. She began to stir beneath him, her arousal growing stronger.
"Colin, please." she whimpered.
Colin grinned and he stood up to rid himself of his remaining clothing. He watched her as he did so. He will never get over seeing her cheeks blush a pretty pink color as she watches him undress.
Her eyes darkened as he covered her with his body again. His hands traveled towards her center he watched her face as he touched her. Memorizing every inch of her face as he watches the pleasure wash over her. Pushing two fingers into her center and slowly building up a rhythm. She drew her head back arching her back as her arousal grew stronger. She pulled his face down towards her in a hunger-filled kiss as she was chasing her release. He kissed her back sloppily as his rhythm grew faster curling his fingers to hit her in her sweet spot. Her hands buried in his hair as he used his thumb to circle her nub. Her moans became louder as she hit her peak. Colin gently pumped his fingers slower as he felt her clench his fingers and her legs began to shake her center gushing as she came. He kissed her more passionately pumping his fingers a few more times bringing her down from her release.
He withdrew his fingers from her center licking them clean.
Her eyes were closed as she was trying to regain her bearings and control her breathing when she opened them again, she found his eyes locked on hers as her gently brushed a curl behind her ear. She could feel him hard and long pressed up against her thigh. She let her hand wander closer to his member and heard him let out a low groan as she gently brushed her hand along the side of his length.
"Pen. I'm afraid this will be over before we begin if you touch me there."
She grinned at him.
"Well then shouldn't you begin then? Mister Bridgerton."
"Christ." He swore under his breath. "You are going to be the death of me woman." He said as he raised her left leg up opening her up to him and positioning himself.
He slowly entered her. Stopping for a moment once he was filling her completely, allowing her to adjust to the fullness. She moaned and began wiggling slightly letting him know she was ready for him to start moving. He began slow at first painfully so if you were to ask Penelope.
"Colin. Please." She groaned.
He grinned at her. "What do you need Pen?"
"Faster Colin." He began rocking faster against her hip. She began rocking upwards meeting him halfway. Her hands roaming his body from his broad shoulders to his back and suddenly he felt her hands on his hips. This woman really was a minx he thought as she began pushing him towards her harder and faster setting the pace for herself.
"Pen" He moaned as he was getting closer to his release, but he needed her to come undone again first so he reached down between them circling her clit. She clutched on to his shoulders as she felt her walls clenching around him.
She screamed his name as she came trembling again. Colin groaned as he kept pumping into her, his rhythm becoming more erratic. He moaned as he filled her with his own release. He did not pull out basking in the moment of closeness. He was trying his best not to crush her as exhausted as he was. After several seconds he gained enough energy to move and lay down next to her. His head nuzzled in her bosom and one arm draping loosely around her stomach.
She was running one hand up and down his arm, the other buried in his hair.
"I love you." she whispered.
He smiled up at her still comfortably nuzzled on her chest. "I love you too Pen."
