[TBBT] Ch: 23 [Penny’s Private Lesson 1: Kissing & rewards] (Patreon)

AN: This is a 2 part chapter. I'll drop the next one tomorrow. Oh, there's a cliff. Don't hate me. Really need to sleep lol.

[Apartment Building]

The walk upstairs felt completely different from the one we'd taken earlier that evening.

Penny was still wearing my jacket over her red dress. The sleeves hung past her wrists, and her heels clicked with each step. I walked next to her with my hands in my pockets, trying to act like I wasn't thinking about everything that happened at dinner.

I remembered her beautiful smile, the teasing, the way she looked at me when I said she could compete with the women on America's Next Top Model. And that one little sentence that had been stuck inside my head ever since we left the restaurant.

'Next time.'

There was going to be another date.

That alone should've been enough to make tonight a spectacular success.

Instead, somewhere between the second and fourth floors, my mind began focusing on another problem.

'Do I kiss her goodnight?'

That question shouldn't have been this complicated.

Millions of people managed first dates without constructing decision trees inside their heads. Teenagers with acne and questionable judgment had been figuring this out since the invention of romance.

Meanwhile, I had two doctorates and could model closed-loop life-support systems, yet kissing Penny suddenly felt like an unsolved problem in theoretical physics.

'Okay. Stop thinking.'

That was easier said than done.

We reached the fourth-floor landing, and Penny walked toward Apartment 4B while fishing her keys from the small purse she'd carried with her.

I followed until we reached her door.

Then I stopped.

She slipped the key into the lock and turned it before pushing the door open. She then took a step in, switched on the light, and looked back at me. 

At this moment, my heart was hammering like a jackhammer. 

For a moment, she stood with one hand resting against the edge of the door before looking at me. I wondered what was going on inside her head. What was she thinking?

"Do you want to come in for a drink?" Penny asked sweetly with a cute smile.

My brain immediately supplied approximately thirty possible interpretations of that sentence, and I ignored all of them.

"Yeah, sure." I nodded.

Penny's smile changed slightly. She stepped inside, and I followed her through the doorway. I then pushed the door shut.

Penny turned around.

Before I could say anything, she moved straight toward me.

Then she threw the jacket on the couch and jumped into my arms.

"WOW...!"

My hands caught her automatically around the waist as her arms wrapped around my neck and her legs went around my waist. She was so light! 

And then Penny kissed me.

Every thought inside my head disappeared.

There wasn't any warning, preparation, or graceful transition.

One second, I was wondering whether she wanted wine.

The next, Penny's lips were pressed against mine, and every carefully rehearsed idea I'd ever had about what my first kiss might feel like became completely useless.

'Oh, sweet.'

That was the first coherent thought my brain managed.

Penny kissed me harder. Her lips were soft and insistent, tasting faintly of wine and chocolate. 

I stumbled backward half a step before my shoulder touched the door, and I tightened my hold around her waist instinctively. The red dress was thin under my fingers. I could feel the heat of her skin through it.

Her body pressed close against mine while her fingers slid into my hair. Her breasts were pressed against my chest and I got an instant boner. I'm sure she noticed it, considering how tightly she was holding onto me.

My heart was pounding so hard that I could feel it inside my chest... It was 10% more than the jackhammer beat.

I kissed her back.

At least, I tried.

The first few seconds were probably embarrassingly clumsy. I didn't know exactly what I was doing, and knowing the biological mechanics of kissing and porn knowledge turned out to be completely worthless when an incredibly beautiful woman was actually doing it.

Penny noticed.

Of course she noticed.

She pulled back barely an inch, her lips still close enough that I could feel her breath against mine.

Her eyes were bright with amusement.

"First kiss?"

I stared at her.

"You already know the answer."

Her smile became downright dangerous.

"Oh, I know," She said with a little peck on my lips. "Want me to teach you?"

"Yes."

The word came out considerably faster than I'd intended.

Penny's eyebrows lifted, and the dangerous little smile on her face grew wider. "Wow. Didn't even have to think about that one."

"I've been thinking too much tonight. I'm trying something different," I replied.

"Good choice," she murmured, giving me another quick kiss before pulling back slightly. "So, you wanna take me to the couch, or can you keep standing there holding me?"

I adjusted my arms around her waist. "I can hold you. You're too light."

Penny stared at me. "Did you just call me light?"

"Very light."

"Keep talking like that and you might actually get a nice surprise tonight."

"I'm looking forward to it."

Penny smiled wider, clearly pleased with the answer. She shifted a little in my arms, getting more comfortable. "Okay then," she murmured. "Lesson one." She brushed her nose lightly against mine. "Don't freeze up. Kissing isn't a science experiment. You're not going to break me."

I nodded once, still a little breathless.

"Second," she continued, her voice low and teasing, "you can use your hands a little. Not just standing there like you're afraid I'll get angry."

Her fingers slid slowly through my hair again.

"And third... relax your mouth. Let me show you."

She leaned in and kissed me again, slower this time. Soft pressure at first, then a little more. Her lips moved against mine in a way that felt deliberate, almost patient, like she was guiding me instead of just taking what she wanted.

I tried to match her.

When she tilted her head slightly, I did the same. When she parted her lips just a fraction, I followed. The second attempt already felt better than the first. It was less clumsy and slightly more natural.

Penny made a small approving sound against my mouth.

She pulled back just enough to speak, her forehead almost touching mine.

"See? Not so hard."

"You're a better teacher than most of the ones I've had," I said.

She laughed quietly. "Flattery will get you everywhere, Honey."

Then she kissed me again, deeper this time. Her tongue brushed lightly against my lower lip, testing. I opened for her without thinking, and the next second her tongue slid against mine. God, she tastes so good. 

My hands tightened on her hips. One of them drifted a little higher along her back, feeling the smooth fabric of the dress and the heat of her skin underneath. She pressed closer in response, her chest against mine, and I could feel every curve of her through the thin material.

Penny broke the kiss just long enough to whisper near my ear.

"You're learning fast."

"Good student," I managed.

"Mm. Let's see how good."

She kissed me again, more confidently now, her fingers curling in my hair while her other hand slid down the side of my neck. I kept one arm locked under her thighs and let the other explore a little more freely, tracing the line of her spine through the dress. She shivered slightly against me when my fingers brushed the bare skin just above the zipper.

Every time she moved against me, the pressure of her body made my already hard cock press more firmly against the soft place between her legs.

She pulled back just enough to look at me, eyes half-lidded and amused.

"Someone's enjoying the lesson."

I didn't bother denying it.

"Hard not to," I said.

She gave me another soft, lingering kiss, then rested her forehead against mine again.

"Ready for the next part?" she asked, voice low and playful.

I nodded.

"Pull the zipper down," Penny whispered.

I pulled the zipper down. The back of her dress parted under my hand, revealing warm skin and the thin strap of her bra.

Penny smiled against my mouth.

"Put me down," she said.

I lowered her carefully until her feet touched the floor. She stepped back half a step.

The red dress slid off her shoulders and fell in a soft heap around her heels.

She stood in front of me in a red bra and matching panties. The bra pushed her breasts up and together, the soft upper curves spilling just enough over the cups to make my mouth water. The panties sat low on her hips. 

I could not look away from her chest.

Penny stepped closer without a word and started unbuttoning my shirt. One button after another. Her fingers moved steadily down the front while my eyes stayed locked on her breasts rising and falling with each breath.

When the last button came free, she pushed the shirt open a little wider and ran her fingers against my chest. Her fingers felt kinda warm and... okay, a little ticklish.

She glanced up at my face, then followed my gaze down to her chest.

A small, knowing smile curved her lips.

"Find anything interesting?"

"Yeah," I said, my voice lower than usual. "A lot."

Penny's smile widened. She finished pushing my shirt off my shoulders. It dropped to the floor behind me. Then she pressed her body against mine.

"Next lesson," she said. "Kissing and a little touching."

She took my hands and guided them down to her buttcheeks. My palms settled on the warm, soft skin of her ass. I don't feel the fabric of her panty. Well, who cares. I squeezed them gently, feeling the firm and soft butt cheeks fill my hands.

Penny made a quiet, pleased sound against my mouth as she leaned in and kissed me again. Her lips moved slowly at first, then deeper, her tongue sliding against mine while she kept her body flush against me.

One of her hands drifted down between us. Her fingers found the hard bulge in my pants and began stroking it lightly through the fabric. The pressure and friction made my breath catch. She rubbed along the length of me in slow strokes, never breaking the kiss.

I tightened my grip on her ass, pulling her hips a little closer. She responded by pressing harder against my hands and increasing the pressure of her strokes over my cock. Every movement of her fingers sent heat flooding through me.

Penny pulled back just enough to speak, her breath warm against my lips.

"Feel that? That's you, hard for me. And these," she said as she grabbed my hands and moved them up. She placed them over her boobs. "are all yours right now... and so are my butt cheeks." 

She flicked the tip of her tongue over my lips as I gave her boobs a quick squeeze. God, they felt heavenly soft. 

"And as a reward for learning kissing within a few minutes, I'll allow you to do anything with them..." She moved her face near my ears and whispered. "...anything."
