Sweet Little Loaf (A Drabble)
I have no idea what to title this, so... yeah. This. This is a random drabble of 935 words based on a tweet that @folklauerate thought was very Kate and Anthony. In a nutshell, a woman was driving home from the shops and saw someone walking a corgi, came to a stop and went to say hi. Turns out, it was her corgi and her husband. So, I made a drabble out of after writing some random dialogue between Kate and Anthony. Enjoy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tapping the steering wheel with a hum, Kate’s eyes slid from the empty road to the path closest to her. The warm evening sun had cast a golden hue upon the dark concrete, bereft of the life she had witnessed just a half hour ago.
Then, she saw it: a glimmer of red and white, streaks of late summer sun bouncing off soft fur. A wiggling bottom and a wagging tail, attached to a loaf-shaped body and carried by stumpy little legs. His ears pricked up, eyes bright as the little guy turned his head, tongue lolling and trying to keep up with his owner’s pace.
Gasping, Kate slowed her car until she crawled to a stop, her own eyes wide and shining at the sweet little corgi. She had to say hi, perhaps give the sweetheart some scratches, a little bit of fuss and love because, well, he simply deserved it.
At the very idea Kate’s own fingers began to itch and, opening her car door, stepped out onto the pavement a short walk ahead of the precious loaf.
She felt her smile stretch across her face when the corgi caught sight of her and, with an energetic yip, began pulling on his lead, his tiny paws scrabbling to get to her. Kate nearly melted at the sight, his precious face lighting up at the thought of being adored.
Bending down, Kate laughed when the corgi all but shoved his head into her hand, his paws resting on her knees with eyes shut, enjoying the fuss. Above her, Kate heard the owner groan and even tap his foot. Good God, she hoped the poor baby hadn’t been stuck with a miserable bugger for an owner.
“Babe,” the voice was low, a sigh heavy on his lips. “I thought I told you to stop coming up to strangers who have corgis.”
Looking up, Kate scowled at Anthony, now tugging on Newton’s lead, and narrowed her eyes. Shit.
“Oh, shut up,” she muttered, and with another stroke of Newton’s beautiful fur, she stood to her full height and snatched the lead from Anthony’s grasp. “It’s not like you haven’t done it yourself.”
A low growl fell from Anthony’s lips and, turning on her heel, Kate walked Newton over to her car. Opening the back door, she picked up her – admittedly, quite heavy – dog, and placed him on the seat where he obediently parked his bum and panted up at her excitedly.
“I was chatting you up, Kate,” Anthony hissed from behind her, one arm wrapping around her waist and tugging her into him. “I was not interested in the corgi.” Flattening his other palm onto the window of the car door, Anthony slammed it shut.
Huffing, Kate wriggled in Anthony’s grasp, which only served to make him pull her that much closer.
“Funny, because I distinctly remember you only asking about Newton when you pulled up beside us,” she teased, and lowering her voice to a gruff cadence, continued with a grin. “What was it you said? Oh, yeah, What a beautiful little dog. You take such good care of his fur…”
Anthony groaned, his head dropping onto her shoulder, his arm tightening. Before Kate could finish her impression of their first meeting, she felt her body turn until her back was pressed up against the car, Anthony’s face mere inches away from her own.
His eyes were dark, lips slightly parted while he took her in, his gaze lowering down to her mouth before returning to her eyes again.
“I only asked because you were walking him, you menace,” he murmured, his nose barely brushing against hers. Kate shivered. “You can’t believe that everybody who walks up to a corgi has innocent intentions, sweetheart, nor should you believe all corgi owners won’t think twice about asking you out.”
Sliding her hands over his shirt, Kate hummed. “So, you didn’t have innocent intentions, then?” she asked with a tilt of her head, her arms wrapping around his neck and tugging him closer. Anthony smirked, a low chuckle rumbling from his chest.
“Not even one,” he whispered, his lips impossibly close to hers. Kate’s eyes fluttered closed.
“Poor Newton will be heartbroken,” she sighed softly, her fingers playing with the curls at the nape of Anthony’s neck. “He really thought you liked him.”
“Oh, I do,” Anthony admitted, his nose brushing against her cheek as he inhaled. “I like that he adores you just as much as I do.” His lips ghosted over her cheek and over her jaw. “I like him because he makes you happy.”
He kissed her brow, her chin, the tip of her nose, both of his arms crushing her against him, and Kate sighed contentedly.
“I like that fat corgi because he’s yours, Kate,” Anthony murmured, giving her hip a gentle squeeze. “I like him because he gave me a reason to meet you.” And then he captured her lips with his in a bruising kiss, swallowing any further arguments.
They broke apart moments later when a whistle sounded in the distance. Faces burning brighter than the evening sun, Kate rushed to get in the car and started up the car again, Anthony sliding into the passenger seat beside her.
They started the quiet drive home, Anthony’s large hand resting on her knee. Looking up into the rearview mirror, Kate spied her beloved corgi, now snoozing on the backseat and smiled to herself.
She loved Newton, her perfect little corgi, and she had to thank him, too; without his aid, Kate probably wouldn’t have met the man she now called her husband.

Kanthony and I am a gentleman
"I am a gentleman," Anthony says into the room, in response to Benedict's question. Next to him, shoulders brushing, Kate places her tea down onto the table to cover her mouth with her hand.
"Kate, are you alright?" Colin asks.
She nods quickly, waving her hand in the air. "Pefectly fine, thanks." She inhales slowly, calmly, but makes eye contact with Anthony, and the giggles erupt again.

Sophie's idea was to send them into the wilderness on a hike to make them at least stop sniping and bickering with one another...

So what happens when the Best Laid Plans really do come to pass...
warnings: Enemies to Lovers, Hiking, Outdoor Sex, Platonic Cuddling, Smut, Vaginal Fingering, Sex on a Car, Bickering, Forced Proximity,
word count: 5607 words
author's note: this was a fic formerly on ao3. It’s an mature fic. So Minors DNI
"I've never known anyone so uncoordinated in all my life." Anthony laughed as he gripped the handle on the top of Kate's backpack. "You're hopeless," he said, dragging her none-too-gently onto the boulder where he'd spent the last five minutes waiting for her.
"Oh, fuck off." Kate gained her footing and shoved his hand off her, annoyed by the way everything physical came so easily to him. She turned her back on him and stood facing the valley below, taking in the peaceful scenery so at odds with the tension inside her.
She'd pulled her black hair into a ponytail; the cool breeze whipped the ends and rippled across her Nirvana t-shirt while she mentally cursed her best friend for putting her in this situation.
"I've heard unrequited love often makes women a bit testy. Now I know it's true."
She sneaked a glance at him and snorted in spite of herself. "You wish." Kate pulled her water bottle from the side pocket of her bag and popped the top, tilting it to her mouth to take a drink.
He moved in beside her and bumped her shoulder, causing her to lose her grip and send water dribbling down her chin. Kate shot him a lethal glare. She caught the droplets and wiped her damp fingers on her shorts. "You did that on purpose."
His mouth tilted in a half-smile and he turned the full weight of his striking brown eyes on her. "I need to make my own fun. In case you haven't noticed you're shitty company."
"I'm normally delightful, Trust me, it's you , not me." Kate watched as the afternoon sun played across his features, wishing he'd at least show some sign he was as tired as her. The breeze ruffled his dark hair and his skin glowed with a light sheen of perspiration. He wore khaki shorts and the straps on his backpack stretched his navy top across his chest. Her slim figure and curved features always made her feel insignificant standing next to him. She continuously tried to make up for it with a healthy dose of attitude.
"I've never seen you as anything other than a smartass," he said.
"That's because you're always around at the time." She slipped her bottle into her backpack. "You bring out the worst in me."
"Is this a sexual tension thing? If I let you get into my pants will it help improve your mood?" Anthony lifted his arms above his head and his eyes remained on her while he indulged in a leisurely stretch.
"Hmm...no. There are things I want to do to you but none of them would be enjoyable… well not for you, anyway." She hated the fact that she couldn't stop her attention from drifting to the enticing vision of a flat, taut belly revealed by his raised top. Her eyes followed the trail of dark hair from his navel to the waistband of his low-slung shorts.
A deep chuckle brought her gaze back to his and she had to steel herself against the humour his knowing smile stirred inside her. "Just checking," he said. "I'll take one for the team if I have to. Keep that in mind."
She rolled her eyes and tried to decide which would be more painful, diving into the valley below or spending another three hours with him. "I honestly don't think I can take any more of this."
"Blame your best friend," he said, dropping his arms to his side. "She's the one playing the peacemaker."
"All the stress of planning the wedding must have finally driven her insane. Anyone can see you and I are never going to get along." Her best friend Sophie began seeing Anthony's younger brother Benedict two years ago, becoming engaged to him twelve months later. As the maid of honour at their wedding next week, Kate had been paired with the best man. Two guesses who that happened to be.
Sophie decided a spur-of-the-moment bonding session in the mountains was just what Kate and Anthony needed to end the hostility between them because she was not having the sniping ruin her wedding day and there wasn’t much either would do for Sophie so they had agreed despite neither wanting to. However, so far the idea was turning out to be a complete flop.
Kate couldn't stop sniping at him and he hadn't even tried to hold back from needling her during the two hours they'd already spent together.
"Aw, don't say 'never'." He rested his arm across her shoulder and pulled her in against his side. "We'll be BFFs after this, I just know it."
Kate pressed her lips together and tried to keep a straight face. She pushed his arm off her and took a deep breath, forging ahead in an effort to hide her amusement. Anthony only let her take the lead for a few minutes before he gripped her shoulders and physically moved her aside so he could pass through. She sighed and tried to focus on the scenery to take her mind off her predicament.
Her pack was a heavy burden at her shoulders, blisters had formed on her toes and sweat trickled down her spine. The trail grew denser and the terrain more challenging the deeper they hiked into the mountains. They hadn't passed a single person on their journey which only served to make her feel even more isolated. In normal circumstances she had a lot of patience, but her control began to slip as the minutes ticked by and her exhaustion grew.
She continued her verbal jousting with Anthony, becoming more personal and less tactful as the hike progressed. The main problem she faced was that her behaviour appeared to annoy her more than it did him. Sometimes he'd reply with a witty comeback and other times she'd notice his shoulders moving in a silent laugh as he turned his head away from her.
Kate was twenty-two and Anthony twenty-four when they were first introduced to each other at a barbeque thrown by his parents. The intention had been to bring the families together since Sophie and Benedict were beginning to get serious. Sophie had no other family save for Kate who had been her best friend since she was 12 and had been by her side through her father’s divorce from Sophie’s wicked step-mother and then her father’s death four years earlier.
From the Kate and Anthony had met, sparks had flown between them, sometimes driven by attraction but more often annoyance. Eighteen months later nothing had really changed but neither of them had tried all that hard to improve their situation either. Up until now their usual method of dealing with the tension had been avoidance, which really didn't solve anything.
Kate released a loud breath and shook her head, knowing what needed to be done. There was nothing like an over-long hike in the fresh mountain air to help bring some clarity to your thinking. For the sake of her best friend’s happiness on the big day she had to put more effort into being less...abrasive toward Anthony.
Over an hour later they reached a clearing and Anthony slipped his arms from his backpack, letting it drop to the ground. He rested against a rock and pulled in air. Kate wanted to cheer with relief as she slid free from her pack to join him. Even though it was the middle of autumn and the days had begun to cool she felt unusually warm.
A smile hovered at his mouth as he glanced at her. "I only stopped so I could take a break from listening to you wheeze."
Kate moved in beside him to share the rock. She let out a breathless laugh, too tired to fight with him. "I'd kiss you in gratitude if I didn't think you'd hurt me." She stared at the tree-filled landscape, listening to the wind rustle through the leaves while she braced herself for his reply. When the silence stretched on her gaze shifted to him. "Why so quiet?" she asked. "No more digs?"
Anthony's body remained facing straight ahead; only his eyes slid in her direction. "We need to stop that."
She threw a furtive glance his way. "I've been thinking the same thing."
"It's going to take a lot of effort, more on your part than mine."
She hummed her agreement, the humour in his tone making her smile. Kate soaked up the silence with him for a while, losing herself in her thoughts. She couldn't imagine what it would be like being friends with him now, they'd spent too long as...she didn't even know what to call the relationship they currently shared. Maybe a truce was the easiest option.
"Say something nice to me," she finally said, wanting to test him. "I bet you can't even come up with one thing."
He pushed off the rock and took a couple of steps away, turning to face her once he'd put some distance between them. He appeared to be thinking it over but it didn't take him too long to find an answer. "All right," he said, "even though you dress like a sixteen-year-old skater chick I can tell there's a hot body hidden somewhere under there."
She shifted gravel around with the toe of her sneaker and hid her amusement. "Wow, thanks. I guess a backhanded compliment is better than nothing at all." Kate looked up at him, deciding to have a try at this nice thing herself. "I like you’re erm… that bit," she said pointing to the area between his navel and waistband.
"This?" he asked, lifting the hem of his top. She kept her mouth shut and nodded, not trusting herself to speak. He let his top fall back into place and said, "Okay, I'll admit I also find your sense of humour entertaining."
Kate bit the inside of her cheek, enjoying herself. She wanted to draw the moment out even longer but figured she'd be pushing her luck. "I think you're annoyingly funny sometimes, too," she finally relented.
He laughed as he bent to pick up her backpack. "Thanks. That's more than enough for one day. Let's keep moving before I get all emotional." He helped her slip into her straps, the gesture so considerate it left her feeling unsure how to respond. She made the wisest decision and just offered a simple thank you. When he'd shouldered his own pack he tugged her ponytail, a reminder they weren't quite friends yet, and headed off to begin the rest of their journey.
Kate stood there for a while longer, feeling hopeful about this new development. A sense of warmth had begun to develop between them that she'd never experienced with him before now. Maybe Sophie had been right and spending time in a situation where they couldn't avoid each other was just what they needed. She'd have to keep an open mind about it all and see where it headed.
His movements distracted her from her thoughts. Kate's gaze lowered to his legs and she watched him walk, taking note of the way the muscles shifted beneath his smooth tanned skin. His shorts were just tight enough for her to get a decent rear view and once she'd set eyes on him she couldn't look away.
"You have a nice ass!" she yelled out before she could stop herself.
Anthony lifted his arm, did a fist pump above his head and kept trudging on.
"So that's it, then." Kate shoved her backpack into the trunk of her car and lowered the lid. Sophie had urged them to travel in one vehicle but there's only been so much togetherness they were willing to tolerate. Anthony drove himself here and parked alongside her in what was now an otherwise empty lot.
Having already stowed his bag he stood with her between their cars to say goodbye. His hands were splayed low on his hips and he regarded her with a friendlier expression than she'd grown used to expecting from him. "Yep. It didn't turn out too badly after all," he said.
Her mouth curved with a hesitant smile. "You're actually an okay person once you stop trying to be so irritating."
He chuckled as he looked her over. "And you're pretty good company when you're too tired to speak."
She huffed out a laugh and looked away, surprised by how much easier it was to be around him. The last few hours had opened her eyes to the man hidden beneath the antagonistic exterior and Kate had to reluctantly admit she liked what she'd discovered. "I hope everything's going to be okay between us at the wedding now," she said, meeting his eyes.
Anthony leaned past her to open the driver's side door, resting his arm along the top edge. "If we can manage to find some tape for your mouth to match the colour of your dress I think we'll be fine."
She laughed and gave him a playful shove. "I was being serious."
"Hey." He let go of the door and grabbed her wrists in defence, holding her at bay. "So was I."
His patient amusement and the feel of his warm fingers on her skin encouraged a twinge of something intimate and unexpected inside her. She stared at him while he held her, not sure whether she wanted him to pull her closer or release her. Going by the expression on his face she guessed similar thoughts were whirling around in his mind. "I'm done attacking you," she said, reminding him that he still held her.
"I know. I'm not letting you go just yet." Anthony kept his eyes on her while he tugged her slowly toward him. "I want to show you something."
Kate's gaze narrowed. "What?"
"Relax. Stop looking at me like I'm going to hurt you." A sliver of space separated their bodies. She could feel the heat emanating from him. "Benedict and I used to beat the crap out of each other when we were younger, as did the rest of our siblings" he said. "Our mother always stopped the fighting and made us hug, her theory being that you can't be angry at someone when you're hugging them."
"Your mother's a hippy. I'm not getting all cuddly with you." Kate teased
The sound that came from him was somewhere between a laugh and a growl. "Let’s just Try it, Kate. You can Give me hell later if it doesn't work."
Anthony released her wrists and slid his hands slowly over the curve of her shoulders. He watched her while he touched her, somehow making the connection more personal. She shivered and before she could take a bracing breath he drew her into his arms, wrapping her up in a hug so tight, so comforting, that she actually sighed.
Kate sank into the moment and turned her head to rest her cheek against his chest. Her arms came up to encircle his waist and she held him, immersing herself in his strength and warmth. His heart beat strong and steadily beneath her cheek, his chin resting on the top of her head while he kept her close. She had no idea how long they stood there like that but the feel of his palm stroking her spine, squeezing the back of her neck before it slid down again, felt so good she didn't want him to let her go.
She could've sworn he placed a soft kiss on her hair before he eventually clasped her arms to pull her back from him. The separation made her want to cry out in protest. Kate looked up at him, still dazed by the contact.
"Do you feel like arguing with me?" he asked, sweeping his thumbs over her shoulders.
She moistened her lower lip and shook her head, overwhelmed by the tenderness of the moment. Kate felt like doing something but it had nothing to do with arguing. "I take it back. She was right." Her body swayed toward him of its own accord. She laughed, uncomfortable with her needs but unwilling to give up the opportunity for more. "You're good at that. I want another one," she said.
A look of amusement passed over his features and he tugged her back into his arms without even questioning her request. She surprised herself by hugging him tightly and rubbing her cheek against his chest, soaking up the solid heat of him. His hands warmed her back, his fingers flexing against her muscles in a rubbing, massaging motion that had her closing her eyes to savour the touch. Kate's own palms moved tentatively over his spine, stroking, soothing.
He located a sore muscle just above her shoulder blade and she arched her back, pressing her body closer. She heard and felt the groan that travelled through him; a responding tingle of excitement hit her deep in her belly. Even though she'd always found him physically attractive she hadn't been able to see him as anything other than just the annoying brother of her best friend’s boyfriend. Now she could barely remember what it was about him that had rubbed her up the wrong way.
Anthony dipped his head and left a soft kiss on her temple. He kept her snugly against him with one arm while his other hand tilted her chin. She clutched his waist and held her breath as she gazed up at him, wondering what she'd find in his expression.
His brown eyes were intense as they met hers, his jaw clenched while he looked her over. His thumb swept across her lower lip and his mouth tilted in the slightest of smiles. He leaned closer and said in a low voice, "If I knew in the beginning all you needed was one good...hug to make you more agreeable, I would've done it when I first met you."
Kate scowled at him while trying to hide her smile. Just because there was a chance he might be right didn't mean she wanted him getting ahead of himself. "You think you can shut me up with a hug?"
"I doubt that'll keep you quiet. This will, though." His hand curved around her neck and he pulled her up on her toes to press his mouth to hers.
Her eyes closed and a sigh rippled through her. She grasped his t-shirt and held on. Her heart thudded and her stomach plummeted at the suddenness of it all. One thought filled her mind in that moment: Oh, God...Finally... Finally .
The kiss started out slow, his warm, firm lips coaxing hers to respond. She let him pull her along with him, opening her mouth to accept the silky invasion of his tongue. Just the tip flicked over hers then retreated, his hands resuming their arousing caresses up and down her back.
Kate trembled with a quick shiver, flattening her palms against his chest. She no longer noticed the chill in the air, the tiredness in her bones. Her mind focused entirely on Anthony, still reeling at their change in circumstances. She leaned into him. A moan came from her as her arms slid around his neck and her tongue thrust against his. The connection went deeper, the kiss turned wilder. His hands supported her while his mouth took control, guiding, arousing. She couldn't get close enough. The urge came over her to climb his body and clamp her legs at his waist.
Anthony's fingers wrapped around her ponytail and he broke the kiss to tug her head back. His lips moved over her exposed throat, flicking his tongue here, sucking lightly there and driving her to the point where she wanted to beg him for more. He dipped his tongue into the hollow at the base of her throat and her mouth dropped open. She let out a sigh, neediness growing inside her until it took on a life of its own. She sank her hands into his hair and pulled him up so she could bring his mouth back to hers.
"You're a good hugger," she said breathlessly, brushing her lips over his, "and a good kisser. That mouth...I knew you would be."
His teeth nibbled her earlobe while he gripped her ass and pulled her against him. "Wanna see something else I do well?" he asked.
Although she heard the humour in his voice his erection was impossible to miss. She knew the offer was a serious one. Desire rolled through her and she laughed when she least expected to want to laugh. "Yeah."
A husky chuckle vibrated against her throat. "Here?"
Kate's eyes flickered open, sweeping over their surroundings. They were still alone. At this late hour no one would be starting out on a hike. "Yeah," she repeated.
He groaned and took her mouth again, one hand cradling the back of her head while the other squeezed her ass, grinding her against his erection. He was hard... so hard. She slipped her hand between their bodies and stroked him, her fingertips running along his rigid length. He growled and his tongue swept over hers, his hands growing more demanding. She massaged his cock, wanting to feel his silky skin without any barriers, to find out what it was like to have him, the last man she'd ever expected to actually be with in this way, thrusting inside her, filling her, making her come.
Anthony pulled his mouth from hers and spent one breath-stealing second looking into her eyes then he turned her and closed the door, pressing her against the car. She'd expected him to drag her into the back seat, now her stomach churned in anticipation. Kate closed her eyes as his hands slipped under her t-shirt and smoothed over her ribs, roaming upwards to enclose her breasts. She let out a harsh breath, her ass pushing back against him. His hands kneaded her flesh, his thumbs slowly sweeping over her hardened nipples.
Anthony leaned down and kissed the back of her neck. His fingers tugged the cups of her bra down, shoving them under her breasts. He teased her nipple with one hand, the other drifting over her stomach to work on the button at the waistband of her shorts.
He released the catch and dipped his hand inside, slipping his fingers under her panties to discover her wet warmth. The rapid change in movement and the confidence behind his touch had her heart pounding. She pushed back even harder and let out a whimper, needing to feel his cock.
"Fuck, Kate, you're so wet." Anthony clasped her breast, teasing her nipple while his fingertips stroked her pussy.
"I need you," she said. "I need..." She dragged in a breath and leaned her forehead on the car, the cool metal a stark contrast to her flushed skin.
His hand released her breast and he grabbed the hem of her top. "Get rid of this," he said.
Kate straightened and tore her t-shirt from her body, dropping it beside her. The haze of desire had her barely able to comprehend what was happening between them. She'd started the day arguing with him and now he had her pinned against her car with her top off and his hand in her panties. "Inside me," she said. "Put your cock inside me."
He groaned and gripped the back of her shorts. "Not yet." He yanked them down with her panties until both dropped freely to her ankles. She only had a moment to feel exposed before he shocked her again by pushing his hand between her thighs. His fingers slipped into her pussy from behind while his other hand teased her clit from the front.
"Anthony!" Her hips jerked and a husky moan tore from her. Her body wanted to push back against one hand and buck forward against the other. His wrist nestled between her legs, his fingers driving slowly into her. Her eyes clenched shut and she felt him kiss her throat. The cool breeze caressed her bare skin.
He circled her clit, teasing and massaging, his strokes firm and thorough. His fingers kept steadily pumping, lifting her to her toes with the pleasure they brought to her. He surrounded her, overwhelmed her. She could smell his clean sweat...feel his strength. He aroused her beyond control.
Kate pressed her palms to the roof of her car, needing to hang on to something, anything. Her eyes flickered open and she focused on his reflection in the glass. His mouth moved to her jaw where he left soft, damp kisses on her skin.
"I'm going to make you come," he said, his voice a low rumble beside her ear. "Then I'm going to fuck you hard...right here...outside...where anyone could see you." He timed his words with the thrust of his fingers, each pump growing in intensity until he had her begging for release.
She lowered one hand to her breast, cupping her flesh, rubbing her nipple. He massaged her clit, caressing the sensitive bud until she just couldn't take any more. Her hips moved back again and again to meet the slide of his fingers. She bent her head and sucked in air as it came over her. Her body shuddered and her hips lifted from his hand. She moaned, losing herself in the moment until she finally closed her eyes and cried out, "Anthony. Oh...my God!"
She nearly collapsed but his arm wrapped around her. Kate relaxed against him, letting him take her weight as her body shook with the last of her tremors. He groaned and kissed her cheek, his lips lingering. "You might be a pain in the ass but you're an unbelievably sexy pain in the ass."
She managed a smile; she would have laughed if she still had her wits about her. Kate leaned her head on his shoulder and felt his fingers leave her. He kissed her jaw and moved behind her. A few seconds later the sound of a zipper filled the silence and a new wave of desire crashed through her.
She closed her eyes, tilting her hips backwards to welcome the thick glide of his cock. He sank inside her, filling her, letting out a deep sigh as she took him in. His hips rested against her then he drew back and plunged inside her again. "Ohhh...that feels..." Kate tried to put the words together but they wouldn't come. "I can't even speak."
Anthony slipped one arm across the front of her hips, keeping her right where he wanted her. His other hand gathered her wrists together and rested them on the roof of her car. Her breasts flattened against the glass. He leaned on her back, his thrusts gaining intensity. Kate felt his harsh breaths on her neck, the flex of his fingertips digging into her hip. The sensations were almost too much but she didn't want him to stop. She wanted the closeness between them to continue on...and on.
His hold on her tightened as his cock plunged inside her. He lowered his head and pressed his lips to her cheek, her throat, his mouth hot and damp on her skin. "Kate," he said, his deep voice sounding breathless beside her ear. "Kate."
Her eyes drifted open. The way he spoke her name made her stomach flutter. He drove into her so hard that she cried out with every thrust. He kept up the pace for so long that his stamina left her breathless. She braced herself for something that seemed just out of reach but then without warning it came over her again. Her muscles tensed as it hit her in a rush. She pulsed deep inside, her stomach clenching, her thighs clamping around him. A low scream came from her and she quivered in his arms.
Anthony gave her a squeeze and let go of her wrists. He cupped her breast, holding her while his thrusts slowed to a deep grind. Kate rested her palm over his hand, whispering unintelligible words. He pressed his lips to her cheek and let out a long, shuddering breath as he came inside her.
The only sounds for a while were the wind rustling through the trees and the distant call of a flock of birds. The afternoon had begun to slip into early evening, the shadows lengthening across the ground. Neither of them spoke as he withdrew from her and tucked himself back into his shorts. Kate felt exposed now the urgency had passed, the cold air sending a shiver through her. She pulled up the cups of her bra and busied herself redressing, trying not to think too much about whether or not she'd get the opportunity to do this again with him. Now she'd experienced a taste of him; it only made her want more, much more.
She finally looked up only to discover Anthony standing there with his hands in his pockets, watching her with an amused expression. "You're overthinking this now, aren't you," he said.
"No, I'm not." Kate smiled at him, refusing to let on what had been going through her mind just now. "I'm wondering how you're going to go about telling my best friend you seduced me and took advantage of me."
His eyes glimmered with humour as he looked her over. "Some things are best kept quiet. I'd hate to stress out the bride. She has enough to worry about." He dipped his head and pressed his lips to hers, silencing her with a deep leisurely kiss. When he eventually pulled away the sweetness of it had her leaning forward for more. He smiled and kissed her again, slipping a hand from his pocket to curve around her neck. This time when he broke the contact he rested his forehead against hers. "I'm giving you fair warning we'll be doing this again soon ...and if you say no I have my ways of convincing you to change your mind."
Kate bit her lip to try to contain the happiness that wanted to break free. Despite everything that had occurred between them she still couldn't resist the temptation to stir him up a little. "No," she said, her smile issuing a challenge she knew he'd take on.
~*~
Kate stood with the other guests and watched as Benedict led Sophie through the bridal waltz, the vision of them together under the subtle lighting one of the most romantic she'd ever seen. Sophie looked stunning in her strapless white dress with diamonds sparkling at her neck, her blonde hair arranged in a bun. Benedict made a handsome figure with his dark hair and charcoal suit. Neither of them could take their eyes off each other.
The wedding and the reception had turned out to be perfect. Everything fell into place just as Kate had expected it would under the supervision of her well-organised best friend. Even the weather had cooperated.
She heard the DJ interrupt the music to announce the best man and maid of honour would now be joining the happy couple on the floor. Just as Kate turned her head to search for Anthony he appeared at her side and held his elbow out for her. No matter how many times she'd seen him today dressed in his suit and crisp white shirt, he still took her breath away. She smiled up at him and linked her arm through his, following him out to the middle of the dance floor.
He took her in his arms, gazing down at her as they danced. The intimacy in his expression would be impossible to miss for anyone who happened to be watching them. Kate had given up trying to hide the developing relationship between them now the formalities of the day were over. She'd chosen to just enjoy it for what it was and try not to think too far ahead. They'd spent every night together this past week and the passion they shared in the parking lot had turned out to only be a hint of what was to come.
"I like you in a dress," he said as he turned with her in his arms.
Kate wore a strapless berry-coloured gown and her hair had been styled similar to Sophie's, sitting off to the side in a low, intricate bun. "So you've said about a hundred times. I like you in a suit but that's not going to happen every day either."
He raised his brows and gave her a once over. "So this is the first and last time I'll ever see your legs, apart from when we're..."
Her eyes widened and she spoke to him in a loud whisper. "Oh, my God. Don't talk to me like that in front of everyone. They're all watching!"
"What?" Anthony stared at her as if she'd taken him all wrong. He kept his voice low as he continued on. "You have a dirty mind. That was completely innocent. I was just going to say 'when we're fucking'."
Kate tipped her head back and laughed, her body swaying toward him. He pulled her closer, wrapping her up in his arms. Even though they were surrounded by family and friends and supposed to still be dancing Anthony had a way about him that made her get all caught up in his world and forget about what was going on around her.
He dipped her in his arms, leaning down to press his lips to her throat. She closed her eyes and smiled, realising she couldn't think of anywhere she'd rather be in that moment

Thanks to @crookedchildpanda for the prompt including JB's glasses! I am a huge sucker for that look (and so is Kate).
She’s done just fine resisting Anthony Bridgerton so far.
Well, maybe not just fine. Maybe that’s an overstatement when she still loses her breath at that dark flash in his eyes that comes out when she’s competing with him over something stupid. When she spends hours thinking up new insults, new criticisms, new weaknesses to needle at to piss him off the way he regularly pisses her off. When she lays in bed and thinks about his eyes, his jaw, his mouth, the annoyingly perfect cut of his face and his body as she touches herself.
But she’ll never actually fuck him, she swears. Kate will not be a notch on the bedpost of London’s most notorious trust fund slut. She absolutely refuses, no matter how many times he looks at her a little too long or brushes a hand over the small of her back or murmurs in her ear and she’s instantly horny in a way that feels like a medical condition.
In the end, it’s a complete surprise. The thing that does her in.
“What the fuck are you wearing?” Kate asks extremely impolitely over the table at brunch. Anthony hasn’t even sat down yet, and all of their friends – well, her friends, his family – whip around to look at her. Whoops. Her ribbing is typically a little more…discreet than that.
He makes a show of looking down at his chest. “A jumper?”
The jumper is sexier than it should be, stretched tight over his absurd muscles, but that’s not what she means. “No, your…” He raises an eyebrow, and Kate feels heat rush to her cheeks. “Never mind, you look stupid, is all.”
It’s lame and uncreative, as far as insults go, and Kate buries her face in the menu even though she gets the same thing every time they come here. Anthony slides in across from her, and- fuck.
Does she have a glasses thing? It feels like maybe she has a glasses thing. Or maybe it’s just an Anthony-in-glasses thing, because she’s never noticed it before, and suddenly she is more attracted to him than she’s ever been to anyone in her life and fuck that, honestly, it’s so unfair.
The following ninety minutes are pure torture, as Anthony keeps looking at her and Kate steadfastly pretends not to notice, and his foot bumps against hers in a way that’s probably accidental, given their positions, but sends a sharp jolt through her nonetheless.
“I like the glasses,” Daphne says, tapping the corner of her brother’s frames as he tries to duck away. “They make you look smart.”
“They make me look old,” he protests, and Kate thinks a little hysterically about how not true that is. “But my contacts were on back order, so it’s this or be blind and walk into traffic.”
“There’s an option,” Kate says chipperly, attempting to regain some of her balance after her slip-up earlier. And Christ, that's a mistake. His eyes flash behind the glasses, and Kate thinks she has just discovered her own personal kryptonite.
She needs some air. In a performance that is probably unconvincing, but everyone else is too lost in conversation to notice, Kate pretends to feel her phone buzz and tugs it out of her pocket.
“It’s Edwina,” she says pointlessly. “I have to call her. I’ll be back.”
Her waffle lies half-eaten on the table as she strolls out of the restaurant and slumps against the wall, inhaling deeply. She will not blame herself for being an adult woman with a healthy sex drive, but she will blame herself for directing that sex drive toward fucking Anthony Bridgerton, of all people.
He’s kind awful. He’s smart arrogant and gentle condescending and he loves his family hooks up with too many women and almost certainly has some type of infection and he looks at her like he wants to take care of her conquer her.
Not for the first time, Kate wonders if she secretly wants to be conquered by him. Wonders if she could forgive herself for letting it happen.
“You’re off your game today.”
Kate jumps off the wall, her eyes snapping open. Anthony looks unbearably smug, his arms crossed over his chest as he smirks at her. “Yes, well, occasionally I do have better things to do than tear you apart, Anthony.”
“Could’ve fooled me,” he hums, taking the smallest step toward her. She has a dozen ways to escape, knows Anthony would never actually pin her down, but she feels trapped anyway. Trapped by his gaze and the heat from his body and the shiver of arousal that travels slowly down her spine. “If I’d known the glasses would do something for you, I would have worn them ages ago.”
It should be taunting, but his voice is unexpectedly soft. Like he’s not teasing her. Like he means it. “Who says I care about your glasses?”
That would have worked better if she didn’t sound so shaky. Anthony leans toward her a little more, his confidence growing in small bursts, and this is humiliating. It’s eleven in the morning and she’s creaming her knickers over this man she wants hates so much.
Anthony swallows, his eyes trailing over her face, and all she feels is desire. In her blood, in his gaze. There’s nothing but a burning heat and a cautious, tentative hope. “I absolutely hate these glasses, Kate,” he says. “But I would wear them every day for the rest of my life if it made you tremble the way you’re trembling right now.”
And that’s the worst part of it all, isn’t it? He’s standing here, telling her that he would do it for her. That he would do anything to please her, to stoke her lust, to win her affection.
The worst, worst part is that he doesn’t need to do much of anything. Kate devotes ninety percent of her energy to keeping him at arm’s length, and it’s been a losing battle from the start.
Fuck it. She’ll forgive herself later. Or not.
Her lips are on his and however she expects him to respond, it is not to yank her against him on this public street and tangle his hand in her curls and lick into her open mouth until she moans. It’s not for his glasses to bump against her nose and for that to be some weird turn-on in itself. It’s not for him to literally fucking growl in his throat as he kisses her with mind-numbing intensity.
Kate is disoriented when he pulls away, her lungs burning from the lack of air, his large hands still taking up an insane amount of real estate on her waist. His glasses are slightly askew and really – that’s it. She’s filing an insanity plea. There is no other excuse for why she feels so dizzy, why the thought of going back to her waffle and forgetting all of this feels like madness.
“Tell me what you want,” he says, his thumb stroking the soft skin peeking out from her top, his eyes blown out. “Tell me to go back inside or tell me to take you home. Just tell me.”
And it’s suddenly crystal clear that there’s only one option. She’s going to fuck this stupid man and make him keep his glasses on and it’s going to be the best shag of her life, regardless of what happens after. And she’ll regret it, or she won’t, because maybe he does actually want her this badly.
“Go back inside,” Kate breathes, and his shoulders slump, but he simply nods. “And pay for our meals. And tell everyone I have a family thing and you’re going to drive me home.”
Anthony grins, his eyes lighting up behind the glasses, and Kate thinks she might have been wrong before. That is her ultimate weakness. “Don’t go anywhere. I’ll be back in two minutes.”

Kanthony song fic drabble
i can’t love you (yet)
Kanthony drabble inspired by The Healing by Zara Larsson. This song immediately made me think of his confession speech at the end of the Featherington ball.
The Anthony before the Anthony that existed now, that didn’t know Kate Sharma, wasn’t careful. He was reckless. That Anthony lived his life with thoughtless abandon. That Anthony would’ve kicked his own heart around, if ever allowed or let in. His heart was at a core he couldn’t even reach himself anymore, battered and bruised and neglected. For eighteen years he grew up seeing a fairytale, without knowing love could be a contact sport.
It wasn’t Kate’s fault, none of this was. It’s not Kate’s fault that he didn’t allow himself to love her. Now, in humility, he all but kneels before her. He wants to be with Kate, this woman he loves more than air itself, but only when he knows he will be the man she deserves. He wants to be with Kate as he heals, and after he heals. After he stops carrying the hurt and burden of his father’s death and his mother’s grief, he wants to be with Kate. After he releases the monsters living in his father’s absence, he wants to be with Kate. He all but kneels before her, every fibre of his being desiring her to desire him the same way.
The Anthony before Kate checked his pocket watch more than was healthy, as a distraction and a comfort. That Anthony had found a moment of pain in every second since the timepiece became his. That Anthony felt like he was gripping the edge of a cliff at every heightened emotion, at every raised voice, or every tear stained cheek, to happen in his household. That Anthony closed his eyes and only remembered the darkness of mourning, kept awake by the feeling of a bee sting he never even felt.
Anthony all but kneels before Kate, swearing that all he needs is time. He does not promise he will cry, or that he will not. He just promises that it is his burden to bear. This Anthony knows that this Kate has been unduly plagued by responsibility, and so he swears without contemplation to the fireworks above Featherington House that he will heal for her. He will not be healed by her.
Anthony Bridgerton requests, most humbly, if he may have the honour of Kathani Sharma’s presence after he has healed. After the healing is done.
[Thanks for reading, sorry if you cried, I like to write these short song inspired pieces. Let me know if you want more. Ideas/requests always welcome.]

9 | Temperature
Fandom: Bridgerton
Character(s): Anthony Bridgerton x Kate Sharma
Rating: T
Summary: kate catches a cold
Wordcount: 100 | ao3
Prompt: stranded (from @whumpster-dumpster ’s 100 Drabble Challenge: Whump Edition)
“It’s just a cold,” Kate told him the first day.
By the third, she was ashen and shivering under thick blankets.
Anthony managed an hour by her bedside until he found it hard to breathe and had to go outside. He pressed his forehead against a cool wooden gable and closed his eyes. If the idea of losing her then had nearly wrecked him, the idea of losing her now…
No. He could not let his fear make him hide from her. Not again.
He took a deep breath.
Kate smiled weakly when he entered again. Anthony took her hand.

Allow me to give a synopsis of the Bridgerton Strictly Come Dancing AU I will never write:
After losing a bet to his brother-in-law, Anthony Bridgerton tells his agent to accept the BBC’s offer (one they have approached him with countless times over the years) to join the cast for the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing. Coming from a prominent acting family where his parents, siblings, and extended family are all highly regarded, Anthony doesn’t have anything to really gain from the show’s exposure and views his contestant role as nothing more than a bit of a joke.
Upon an initial meeting with all the professional dancers for the producers to figure out the pairings, Anthony makes a offhand comment to fellow contestant and TV presenter Thom Dorset. “With any luck I’ll be eliminated early and not have to put up with these professional dancers for too long. Honestly every single one I’ve met throughout my career always have an air of desperation to them. To quote my little sister; it’s super cringe.”
What he didn’t realise was that one of the show’s dancers, Kate Sharma, had just been behind them, ready to introduce herself when she overheard his patronising comment. Despite finding him attractive and initially believing him to be quite charming, after hearing his comment Kate despises the man. She complains to the newest professional dancer, Sophie Beckett, about how arrogant Anthony is and says she hopes neither one gets lumped with him.
Fortunately for Kate she ends up paired with Thom - but she’s disappointed on her new friend’s behalf when Sophie is paired up with Anthony. She had wished for Sophie to have had a better and more willing partner for her very first series and feels sorry for her.
“Honestly, you deserve so much better, Soph.” she said to her friend when they met up for drinks ahead of the first live show. “It’s so unfair you get lumbered with a contestant who’s not even going to put the effort in.”
“He’s actually not that bad.” Sophie replied. “In fact, not bad is a complete understatement. He wants this a lot more than you might think.”
“Hmph. I’ll believe it when I see.”
And then just days later Kate does in fact have to eat her own words when much to her shock and great horror Anthony Bridgerton proves not just to be a contender but the very one to beat in the contest.
Kate had always been determined to win the Glitterball trophy but now she was more motivated than ever to clinch the title, if only to wipe off that smirk off of Anthony Bridgerton’s face. Meanwhile in the run-up to his first dance, Anthony had discovered that he actually loved dancing more than he realised and his previously blase attitude towards the competition is quickly replaced by an innate competitive nature that he can’t wait to put to good use.
Before the second live show he came across his dance partner talking with Kate - who in Anthony’s opinion is the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen - and came over to introduce himself.
“Sorry, I would humour you with conversation but I know just how cringe you find us professional dancers to be. You know, what with our desperate air and all.”
Anthony was left dumbfounded as Kate strutted away and when he tried to apologise to her later on, to tell her he hadn’t meant what he had said and that he was just talking shit, Kate refused to hear him, telling him to just stay out of her way so she could win the trophy. Riled up and agitated (and on some subconcious level feeling rejected), Anthony decides to get even with her for not accepting his apology by working even harder to remain the frontrunner of the competition.
As the weeks go by the top scorers on the leaderboard alternate between Kate and Thom, and Anthony and Sophie as the competition heats up. Anthony and Kate remain at loggerheads and constantly throw barbed comments at one another behind the scenes, all of which Anthony recounts and complains to his brother about. As supportive as he is of his brother, Benedict isn’t all that interested in the non-stop moaning about Kate Sharma. The only time his ears ever prick up during Anthony’s rants are when he mentions Sophie.
The Strictly newcomer has occupied Benedict’s mind ever since she was paired up with his brother and he’s been trying for weeks to coax any information he can find out about her from Anthony without making it obvious that he’s crushing on her. He had tried to play it cool, telling Anthony to invite his dance partner along to the opening of Benedict’s new play on the West End, but due to Anthony’s mind being clouded by his immense dislike for Kate Sharma, he had forgotten to ask her. Benedict would have liked nothing more than to be in the audience during the live shows in the hopes he could finally meet Sophie but unfortunately the Saturday shows coincided with his play.
As put out as Benedict was, little did he know that his crush was actually reciprocated. Sophie had been in the audience of one of his plays a couple of years previously and she had had the biggest crush on him ever since. When she learnt she was paired up with Anthony, she didn’t even care that he thought she was cringe or anything; all she saw was an actual opportunity to meet Benedict Bridgerton. It was a secret she kept to herself, being a Benedict Bridgerton fangirl, and she extensively read and watched every interview he gave, went to see every play he was in and watched any film or TV show he had a part in. Perhaps she was being silly in thinking her celebrity crush might like her back - but oh god what if he did? (And while she didn’t agree with Anthony’s opinion that all professional dancers were cringe, individually she couldn’t help but agree that she herself was quite cringe for fanning over his brother like she was a teenage girl all over again.)
Whenever Anthony mentioned his brother in passing, Sophie tried her best to play it cool and enquire after him, seeming like she was just making conversation. One day when talking about Benedict she quite daringly asked if he was seeing anyone.
“He doesn’t really talk to me about that stuff but I think last I knew he was hooking up with that supermodel that got stunt-casted in his play before last. Tessa Somethingorother.” Anthony had shrugged, completely oblivious to the palpable disappointment on his partner’s face and lacking the inquisitive nature to even consider why Sophie was asking about Benedict’s relationship status in the first place.
Halfway through the competition and much to the shared horror of both Kate and Benedict, the celebrity gossip blog, Whistledown, claimed that Anthony Bridgerton was in a relationship with his dance partner Sophie Beckett. Kate couldn’t believe that Sophie would be any bit interested in someone as pompous and entitled as Anthony, while Benedict was devastated at the thought that his brother was dating the woman he wanted to be dating.
“I really can’t believe you, Soph.” Kate had said to her colleague when she next saw her after her supposed relationship had made the headlines. “I thought you were better than that. Dating Anthony of all people!”
Sophie had laughed it off, assuming Kate was joking because obviously it wasn’t true, seeing as the tabloids felt the need to speculate every year that a contestant was seeing one of the professional dancers on the sly - but Kate thought Sophie had laughed off her comments to dismiss the conversation about the relationship, thinking she didn’t want to talk about it, especially when Kate was so pissed off about it.
Meanwhile Benedict had decided to torture himself by rewatching all of Anthony’s dances, trying to look at them through the lenses of his brother being in a relationship with his partner. When he had caught up with the dances before, he honestly paid no attention to his own brother as his eyes remained transfixed on Sophie, in awe of the way she moved her body so effortlessly, wishing he was the one who got to hold her close as they swept across the dancefloor. Now that he properly took his brother into account in the dancing, Benedict inflicted even further anguish on himself by convincing himself that Anthony and Sophie were clearly into each other, completely forgetting the fact that a key part of the performances included storytelling and emoting and thinking the way his brother and Sophie looked at each other during the more romantic or heated dances was because they really felt some type of way for one another.
After the show held in the Blackpool Tower ballroom, all the cast and crew have a wild night out in celebration. Kate finds herself carefully watching Anthony and Sophie, completely ignoring Thom’s drunken attempts to flirt with her. She can’t help but think that for a couple in the early stages of a relationship that they’re not very touchy-feely and she’s never spotted them kiss either. Sophie had previously shared with Kate before the start of the series of what she’d want from a relationship; to be with someone affectionate, who didn’t shy away from her, who was proud to be with her and show her off. Knowing Sophie’s background, Kate firmly believed her friend deserved the world and nothing but the best; and she knew she certainly wasn’t going to get that with Anthony. He was friendly enough with Sophie in public but from what Kate could see he wanted to save their relationship for behind closed doors. Sophie didn’t deserve to be kept a secret and even though Kate understood that there was a need for privacy when in the public eye like they all were, this party was exclusively for everyone who worked on the show and nobody would say anything if Anthony dared kiss his girlfriend or even simply hold her hand.
Later on after one too many drinks Kate made her way back to her hotel room only to find Anthony, also inebriated, as he sat in the middle of the corridor. When she asked what he was doing there he drunkenly informed her that he couldn’t remember where his room was or even what floor he was meant to be on. Kate rolled her eyes and went to grab her phone to text Sophie asking if she knew where Anthony’s room was (and thinking that there was a possibility that the pair were sharing one) when she discovered she had left her phone behind at the party. Groaning at the effort of having to go back downstairs, she decided to just leave it till morning. With a weary sigh she beckoned Anthony to crash in her room because as annoying as he was she would feel bad for just abandoning him in the corridor.
Once in the room they raided the mini fridge and shared the snacks and much to Kate’s surprise she found she actually got along really well with him. They shared a few laughs as they lounged on her bed and began chucking peanut shells at one another, with Anthony cackling with laughter when Kate tried to dodge a shell so hard that she ended up falling off of the bed. She clambered back on, laughing at herself and being able to see the funny side, and then she noticed a piece of shell in Anthony’s hair. Without thinking she reached out to brush it away but the second she did the air around them stilled. The single touch of her fingers through his hair had suddenly shifted the tension between them and Kate could feel her entire body tightening with anticipation.
“Your hair... it’s so soft.” she slurred. “So fluffy...” she said as she continued to card her hand through his hair.
“You... you smell pretty.” Anthony responded dopily.
“Lillies.” she said. “I use a lily-scented bath soap... soak... suds...” she informed him (even if she was struggling for the right word).
“Lillies.” he echoed with fascination and leaned in closer.
As she continued brushing a hand through his hair, he brought his face closer to hers and inhaled her scent. They had never been so close to each other and it was the most weirdly intimate moment that Kate had ever experienced. She turned her face to meet his - he was even closer than she thought - their noses practically touching, their lips mere inches away from one another.
She wasn’t sure who moved first, who initiated it, but either way they both wanted it. Their lips sealed together in a gentle kiss, which turned into a more heated second kiss, and then a more fervent third kiss, and then an even deeper fourth kiss, and then clothes were flying off and kisses were being trailed all across each other’s bodies and soon enough they were rocking their hips together, their hands clutched tightly as they cried out at the same time...
And when Kate woke up the next morning and realised she had spent the night with Anthony she was momentarily stunned before the guilt sunk in - she had just slept with Sophie’s boyfriend. Anthony stirred seconds after she did and he seemed surprised with where he was waking up but she didn’t give him a second to fully process it all before she was ushering him out of her room.
Kate was wracked with guilt for betraying Sophie so horribly and she had to try and weigh up when the best time to tell her was. She feared if she told Sophie right away that it would jeopardise Sophie and Anthony’s partnership in the competition. They could so easily win the whole show but if Kate told Sophie this terrible thing she had done her best friend might be too heartbroken to even want to continue in the contest. In the end Kate knew it was best to come clean now instead of letting her best friend have a false sense of trust in her relationship. When she sat Sophie down the next day she told her what happened and burst into tears as she braced herself for Sophie’s reaction.
What she wasn’t expecting was Sophie’s very impassive response. “Yeah, I saw that coming from a mile off.”
Mystified by such a reaction, Kate asked her what she meant by that - did Sophie truly think lowly enough of her to predict that she’d sleep with her boyfriend? Sophie shrugged and explained that it was obvious that the mutual loathing Kate and Anthony shared was all based in sexual tension. Kate was shocked by Sophie’s nonchalance and questioned why she wasn’t angry with her for sleeping with her boyfriend.
“What fucking boyfriend?” Sophie spluttered.
“Anthony! Your boyfriend Anthony! You’re together!”
“What?! Ew! No! God no! Not Anthony! Never!” Sophie squawked.
Kate then realised that she had fallen for the tabloid fodder and had stupidly never directly asked her friend outright if she was actually seeing Anthony.
“Kate, please for the love of god date him all you want, or at least fuck him all you want. Whatever puts a stop to you two constantly arguing with each other, please!” Sophie begged of her.
That week the show was thrown into chaos when a stomach bug took down several contestants and professional dancers, Thom and Sophie included. It meant a reshuffle of partnerships for the one week which is how Kate and Anthony found themselves paired up for the samba. Neither had spoken to the other since their hook-up and while Anthony wanted to talk about it, Kate wanted to focus on the dance and avoided the subject altogether.
Meanwhile as she recovered from her illness, Sophie was pleasantly surprised with an unexpected delivery of flowers. She of course thought it sweet that someone had sent them to her as a get well soon gift, but she nearly dropped them when she saw they were from Benedict. She had never met the man and yet here he was being so thoughtful and generous to wish her well. Sophie knew she had to grab this bull by the horns and later that evening after Benedict’s latest performance he returned to his dressing room to find a bouquet of flowers from the woman his brother was dating. He felt giddy as he read her handwriting, telling him to break a leg, and his heart felt so light at the sweetly returned gesture from her - until he reminded himself that she was his brother’s girlfriend. That was a line he would never cross even if he thought that there was a possibility that Sophie might just be the woman he could see himself marrying one day.
In spite of the tension between them, the inherent passion between Kate and Anthony worked massively in their favour the following Saturday and as a result they scored a perfect 40 for their samba. In that moment Anthony felt like kissing Kate from the euphoric high of such a score - but for god’s sake they were live on air, he had to control himself, not to mention that Kate was barely talking to him even when they weren’t on camera. Backstage after the show he finally caught a moment alone with Kate and got the chance to bring up what happened between them the week prior only for Kate to wave it off.
“We had fun. It was a good time. We can just leave it there.”
She may as well have kicked him in the crotch while she was at it. He couldn’t understand how she didn’t feel the palpable tension between them still, how she seemed so removed from what they shared and how it had felt, like it was meaningless. He wanted to argue, to fight for whatever it was they had, but in the end he thought it best to not push it. If Kate didn’t want him then she didn’t want him and he was powerless to change her mind on that.
But little did he know that Kate did in fact feel just as strongly for him - she just wasn’t ready to put her feelings out there, to make herself feel vulnerable, to let herself be used by Anthony until he got bored and left. She had never felt like this about anyone before, had never felt such passion and desire for another human being; but irregardless, she had to keep Anthony at arm’s length. It was for the best.
With Sophie and Thom recovered, the partnerships continued with both Anthony and Kate trying to forget about the other by putting all their energy into the next week’s dance. Benedict’s play had wrapped up after it’s ten week run and so he popped in while Anthony and Sophie were rehearsing for a VT to offer his brother some advice ahead of Musicals Week, seeing as Benedict had once played the character Anthony was taking the role of for the dance. He hugged Anthony first when he entered the room and then he came face to face with Sophie for the first time - it would be a moment Benedict would look back on the rest of his life. She was somehow even more beautiful in person and the way she smiled at him... he had never experienced the fluttering in his heart that he was feeling. They politely shook hands in greeting even though Benedict could have easily swept her up into a kiss, hoping she would want him as much as he wanted her, and they would melt into each other’s arms before Anthony and the camera crew took the hint and left them to it - but once again, he had to remember that it didn’t matter if that wasn’t the proper way to behave in public with someone you’d only just met; she was dating Anthony. It wasn’t meant to be even if his heart felt so very differently.
After his visit Anthony walked him back out and once they were out of hearing distance, his brother whacked him on the back.
“Ow! What was that for?!”
“You idiot, why didn’t you tell me you liked her?”
Benedict stilled as he stared back at Anthony at a complete loss of words. He couldn’t believe just how obvious it was that he clearly liked Sophie for his brother to notice and feel the need to remark on it.
“I uh... I... what?” he tried playing dumb.
“You like Sophie.” Anthony stated.
Benedict’s mouth opened and closed before he sagged in defeat. “Okay, yeah. I do. I do like her.”
“Well why didn’t you say something sooner?”
“Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t think you’d want to hear me saying that I can see myself marrying your girlfriend one day!”
“Girlfriend?!”
It was then that Benedict realised that instead of believing everything he read in the papers about his brother, that he could instead, you know, ask himself for clarification.
“So... so you two... you’re not actually together?”
“Of course not! She’s just my dance partner! And besides I’m in love with Kate-”
“Wait, what?!”
“Oh. Uh...” Anthony had not meant to let that one slip. In fact he didn’t know he felt so deeply for Kate until the words had left his mouth.
“You’re in love-”
“We’re not talking about me right now, okay? We can circle back to that another time - Sophie is single, Ben.”
“And... do you... do you think... she would be interested-”
“I think she would be if you were single.”
“... Which I am.”
“You are?”
“Yes?”
“I thought you were with Tessa?”
“... Yeah, eighteen months ago now, Ant.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah.”
“... You think we should maybe learn to communicate with each other better?”
“Obviously.”
As soon as Anthony returned to rehearse with Sophie, he gave her Benedict’s phone number, saying that he thought they’d make a great couple, leaving Sophie so thrilled she was rendered speechless.
She and Benedict began texting all the time, doing video calls and talking non-stop. At Musicals Week Benedict finally got the chance to sit in the audience and experience Sophie’s mesmerizing dancing ability with his own eyes, feeling as though he could watch her dance forever with how perfectly she moved with the music. He brought her flowers after the show and the following day they went on their first date as they went for a brisk December walk around Hampstead Heath. Neither one had felt so at ease with another before and Sophie even found herself admitting she was a fangirl of his. She was momentarily mortified at letting that slip, terrified he would get freaked out, cut the date short, and never want to hear from her again. But on the contrary, Benedict loved that she was already a fan of his, considering he was certain he was her biggest fan (and would happily fight anyone who challenged him).
While they still talked all round the clock they didn’t have a chance to meet for another date, what with preparation for the semi-finals and then the finals the following week, which Anthony and Sophie, and Kate and Thom sailed through to. In the dressing room ahead of the final Sophie and Kate were getting made up for their respective first dances of the night as the former told the latter all about Benedict. Kate was over the moon that her best friend was so ecstatically happy and just from listening to her, Kate was sure Sophie had found the one.
“I’d recommend it, you know.” Sophie raised a brow at Kate.
“Recommend what?” Kate frowned.
“Dating a Bridgerton man.” Sophie smiled simply. “They are very lovable. And sweet. And very easy on the eye.”
“I don’t want to get hurt.” Kate said quietly so only Sophie could hear.
“He wouldn’t hurt you.” Sophie assured her. “He’d never dream of it.”
“But... but...”
“But what?”
“... What if he still thinks I’m cringe?”
“Oh, but my dear Kate; what if he thinks you’re hella dope?”
“Sophie.” she rolled her eyes.
“No but come on, Kate. Anyone with eyes can see just how much he likes you. You should see the way he looks at you when you’re not looking.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
Before they made their grand entrances Anthony wished Kate the best of luck and she squeezed his hand back, a gentle smile on her lips as she took in the joy on his handsome face from the interaction.
“You’ve got this.”
“That’s no fighting talk, Kate.” he noted. “What happened to wiping your arse using my white flag of surrender?”
Kate grinned broadly. “That was one of my best lines.”
“It’s certainly my favourite line of yours.” he laughed.
Kate did humour him with some playful fighting talk but there wasn’t as much heat behind the words. He had been the bookie’s favourite pretty much from the beginning and there was no denying the show-stopping performances he did with Sophie made them the worthy winners that they became.
Later that night at the wrap party everyone celebrated and while Anthony was the man of the hour, all he wanted was to do was dance with Kate, the pair of them dancing freely without any choreographed technical steps. When they finally broke free outside for a breath of fresh air, they found Benedict and Sophie cuddled together waiting for a taxi, Benedict’s jacket wrapped around Sophie as they traded kisses.
When the taxi pulled up Anthony wished them a good night, knowing they probably wouldn’t resurface from Benedict’s flat until Christmas (plus he had the misfortune of being present when Benedict came to congratulate them after their win and Sophie kissed her boyfriend before saying the only way the night could get better is if he provided her with an mind-blowing orgasm). Before he whisked his beau away, Benedict pointed out the mistletoe hung up above Kate and Anthony and left them to it as he closed the taxi door.
Kate didn’t hesitate to pull him in for a kiss and after he wrapped his arms around her and held her to his chest, she couldn’t help but confess that she was in love with him. To her amazement he returned the sentiment, kissing her sweetly, before taking a leaf out of Benedict and Sophie’s book, hailing down a taxi and leaving the party early to spend the night back at his flat (and hopefully not resurface until Christmas).

Wrote a little something because I felt ✨inspired✨
Edmund Bridgerton II learns an unfathomable fact about his father (aka Anthony’s dad lore is crazy)
Edmund Bridgerton II had earned himself a bit of a reputation. If you asked Eddy, he would swear up and down that it wasn’t his fault. It was just that Eddy had grown up surrounded by women he loved and admired, starting with his Amma. Since the very day he was born, he had been his Amma’s boy. He loved toddling around after her and being allowed to pick out lunch menus or to go to the stable with her to brush his pony. His Amma was the one who taught him numbers and letters and even today, after having been to Oxford and having learnt from world renowned scholars, he still believed that the most knowledgeable person in the world was his Amma.
Then there was Char his little sister. He was too young to remember her birth but since the day Charlotte had become a little person instead of a squealing baby, she was determined to make him proud, by being brave when she scraped her knee, by learning to make a jump on horseback just like him, by finding the best spot at hide and seek to impress him. So when she’d cried to him about being terrible at embroidery after having gifted him a handkerchief with crooked stitching, he hadn’t thought twice about promising to practice her stitches with her, so she wouldn’t be stuck inside while he ran around playing with Miles. Turns out embroidery was rather relaxing and he liked adding an occasional rose to the corner of his kerchief and on one memorable occasion pranking his cousin Augie with something rather rude embroidered on his neck cloth.
Then there was Mary, his baby. Well, she hadn’t been a baby in many years but he swore that sometimes when he looked at her, she still looked like the palm sized infant she used to be. Was it any wonder then that he was willing to sit down and listen to the baby he swore had gone from infant to little girl in the blink of an eye, chatter about bows and colours and hat pins. He had accompanied his baby to many a modiste, enough to learn about the different kinds of tulle and lace.
Which brings him to his current predicament. By the time he was old enough to be a commodity on the marriage mart, Eddy found himself at a great advantage compared to many of his peers. He could talk to debutantes about the things that interested them, like laces and bows and hand embroidery. He knew enough on how to run a household that many girls found it easy to keep up a conversation with him for the length of a waltz. He was popular with women. And truth be told, he enjoyed it. It was never more than a light flirtation but seeing shoulders relax and smiles widen in his presence? Damn it all, it felt good. And so he did nothing to discourage his reputation. His reputation as a rake.
Which is what Lady Danbury was currently telling his bemused mother while Edmund tried to stare very hard at the ballroom floor. Lady Danbury was like a hundred years old and attended about four balls a year. How had she even learnt of this talk about him being a rake?
Having completed her humiliation ritual, Lady Danbury tapped her cane, patted Edmund on the shoulder and moved on. Leaving him to face his mother, who was giving him a bemused smile and a raised eyebrow.
Unable to resist that eyebrow, he began spluttering out an explanation when it got worse. His father clapped him on the back and then looked at him quizzically when he gulped dramatically.
“What’s the matter?” his father asked. And now Eddy had a worse problem. Not only did he have to explain to his mother that he liked flirting with women, he also had to tell his father, his hero. The man who didn’t even know women other than his wife existed. Eddy felt his shoulders slump miserably. His father thought the sun rose and set at his mother’s feet. His father never spent more than hour at his gentleman’s club because he said he got bored without Amma and his children. Eddy loved his father and often went to him for his insight but in this, he didn’t believe his father would have anything to say. His misery was interrupted by a giggle from his Amma.
While he’d been wallowing in his misfortune, Appa had now moved to Amma’s side and was getting his lapels straightened while beaming down at Amma. Eddy stifled a groan. This was not going well.
“He’s your son after all”, Amma was saying. “Rake with a capital R”, and then she winked.
Father inexplicably went bright red and then brought his hands to rest over his Amma’s on his lapels. “Thoroughly reformed now and that’s reformed with a capital R, I’ll have you know, Kathani Bridgerton”. He leaned forward to rest his forehead against Amma’s.
Well used to this by now, Eddy simply cleared his throat. His mother turned to him and laughed with soft delight and his father winked at him playfully.
Feeling something settle in him at the sight, Edmund asked, “Rake with a Capital R? What is that about?”
And this time, it was Anthony’s turn to splutter as Kate chortled once again.
A few minutes later after his father had made a hasty departure with Amma in tow, in the wake of his halting explanation about his reputation before marriage, Edmund felt dazed. His mind felt sluggish, like a cart wheel caught in mud.
His father? A rake? Surely, it was a jest. His gaze drifted to where his parents were waltzing together, standing far closer to each other than was appropriate. He watched as his father pressed a tender kiss to his mother’s forehead, eliciting gasps of disapproval from some of the stricter dowagers. This whole Capital R Rake business was probably his parents idea of a joke, he decided.
I think a lot about the fact that Kate and Anthony’s kids grow up with parents that are so devoted to one another they can’t even fathom their father as anyone other than the doting family man.
Imagine Edmund, 20 and sending all the debs into a flutter when he walks past them with a wink.
“Edmund, you shouldn’t-”
And Edmund just groans “Father, some of us weren’t born romantics.”
And Kate’s behind them snorting into her glass of lemonade.
“I was… certainly not a romantic.”
“Of course you weren’t.” Edmund scoffed skeptically.
“I wasn’t! I was horrible to your mother!”
“Oh I’m sure.”
“It’s true unfortunately,” Kate sighed. “I really was just taken in by a smile. Embarrassing for us both.”

Kathani Sharma hates the summer It doesn’t take long for her to tan. For her skin to turn from brown to dark brown. While her friends skip and chase and spin in the sun, shorts and crop tops and the heat burning into their skin, Kate walks in the shade. A distant aunty still sends her ‘Fair & Lovely’ as a birthday gift each year.
I love projecting onto fictional characters

14-"This is so stupid."
let's get that muse going
I’ve no idea what this but I hope you like it…
“This is so stupid”
Anthony scowled as he looked at himself in the mirror, his fingers moving to the top of the costume and he let out an annoyed growl as the door opened and Benedict walked through the door, his own costume on and looking as thrilled as Anthony looked.
“This is so stupid” Anthony complained again, “how on earth did we get roped into this”
“Because Sophie was desperate for characters for the school kids as an end of term treat and I find it physically impossible to say no to Sophie, and Kate threatened you if you didn’t agree…” Benedict sighed
“I know but really, Spongebob and Patrick?” he groaned
“Yes but the kids are into Spongebob at the moment… and at least you got to be Spongebob! I look ridiculous as Patrick…” Benedict groaned
“You’re Patrick because you’re taller, at least neither of us are Squidward…” Anthony sighed.
“I wonder which poor soul she’s roped into doing that or if it’s just us two… but come on, we’ve gotta go, the kids are waiting for us” Benedict said, grabbing Patrick’s head.
As they made their way out of the changing room and headed down the corridor towards Sophie’s classroom feeling completely ridiculous but knowing it was for a good cause.
But what they didn’t know was Kate was in the classroom waiting with a camera to film them with the kids and in their costumes.
Anthony jammed the top of his spongebob costume, rueing the day he let Kate introduce Benedict to Sophie as they knocked on the door.
The excited chatter stopped and they heard Sophie’s voice “I wonder who that could be…”
There was a giggle and a squeak from the kids and then a shhhhh from a few of the kids and they heard Sophie’s footsteps coming towards the door “ohhhh kids, I think we have some extra special guests waiting for us… can you remember the words of the song that introduces them?” she asked brightly.
As Sophie opened the door, the words of the Spongebob Song started being sung loudly and very out of key and Anthony and Benedict, fully dressed in their costumes, bounced into the room singing along with the kids.
Kate sat at the back of the room trying not to laugh as she filmed the entire thing. “Oh this is so stupid I love it” she laughed as Sophie made her way over as Anthony and Benedict had started answering questions that the kids were asking.
Sophie giggled “it is rather stupid but it was a genius idea”
“Well Anthony, did say he’d do anything to make up for stepping on Newton… but Benedict…?”
“Spongebob would have been lonely, and honestly, I didn’t think he’d go for it…”
“Just shows you how much he loves you” Kate grinned
“Very true… and they are very cute with the kids” Sophie sighed happily. “They’re going to be amazing dads”
“One sooner rather than later” Kate said quietly.
Sophie gasped, “you… your?!”
“We told our parents and Edi last night…” Kate said her voice low. “I wanted you to be the next one to know… and I wanted to see Ant around kids so this was just a win win”
Sophie squealed and hugged her best friend happily “best news ever”
Their hug was interrupted by a loud grunt as Anthony lost his balance in his costume and toppled to the floor and was being hugged by all the kids “Kate… babe… a little help…”
“Should we?” Sophie said,
“Nah, he’ll work it out, or Ben will when that little boy stops swinging on his arms…” Kate laughed moving the camera back onto them, laughing as they watched the school kids with their husband and boyfriend.

Came across this photo and wanted to do a cheesy little drabble for it. Not set in any specific universe of my fics, just its own thing.
--
Everything would be fine.
She had been to dozens of awards shows before Anthony, sat through the nerve-wracking hours of speeches as she told herself that she wouldn’t win and sometimes she didn’t, and sometimes she did.
But she hadn’t been to one alone in years, and her stomach was churning in a way she hadn’t felt in forever. It wasn’t Anthony’s fault that his flight from Copenhagen had been delayed three times – he’d sounded crushed when he told her that he would keep trying to get back before the ceremony, but he didn’t think he would make it.
Kate tried to sit still, tried to breathe as her hairstylist smoothed out her curls. Tried to think about anything else other than how much she missed her husband after a week apart, how much she wished he would be there holding her hand through every excruciating second.
What if she didn’t go? Would that be so terrible? The fashion designer who had made her gown would probably be pissed, as would her agent, but at least she wouldn’t have to walk down the carpet by herself and sit in a seat next to someone she barely knew and slap on a smile like it was the only place in the world she wanted to be.
She flinched a little as the front door slammed shut – she would really need to tell the makeup artist to tread more quietly, or maybe it was her assistant, or someone making a delivery-
“I’m here.”
Kate whipped around at the breathless voice, a ridiculous grin coming over her face at the sight of her husband standing in the doorway. In jeans and a t-shirt, his hair disheveled and dark circles under his eyes, but he was there and suddenly she could breathe again.
Jumping up, Kate practically raced to him, not particularly worried about her hair or makeup as she fell into his arms. They could always be redone.
“You’re here,” she breathed, clinging to him, soaking in his familiar citrusy scent. “How are you here?”
“Uh, it might have involved generously bribing someone to let me take their seat and pulling a family favor with the airline that felt like a gross abuse of my privilege,” Anthony chuckled, his arms comfortingly tight around her. “But I didn’t want to miss your night. I did everything I could to get back on time.”
Kate laughed thickly, taking his hands in hers and pressing a kiss to his knuckles. Sometimes it felt like she never stopped falling in love with this man. “I didn’t want to go. I didn’t want to do it without you.”
“But you could have.”
“But I didn’t want to.”
His gaze was so soft, so warm, that if they weren’t on a deadline she would have dragged him to bed that minute. As it was, Kate suspected they would only be making a short appearance at the afterparty. “God, you're beautiful,” Anthony sighed. “I’ll go get ready, okay? I need a shower. I can’t be on camera looking like this when you win.”
She laughed, sending him on his way and settling back into her chair with a newfound lightness.
Whether she won or not, it was going to be a perfect night.

Target Practice [Drabble]
Pairing: Benedict Bridgerton x fem!reader
Summary: Benedict teaches his wife how to handle a rifle...
Warnings: Mostly fluff, a couple of suggestive moments, and one explicit line of dialogue. Married couple teasing each other.
Word Count: 0.7k
Author's Note: This is a request fill from DM chat with a lovely mutual who wishes to remain anonymous. They wanted to see a similar teaching scene to the infamous Kanthony gun moment... but with Benedict and his wife. Sorry it's taken so long to write this and that it's so short, but I hope you still enjoy <3 This is set in the Innocence universe.
“Concentrate,” he murmurs, each syllable elongated, the tone teasing and resonant.
You purse your lips and shoot him a sideways glance, feeling his heated breath dusting your cheekbone.
“Maybe it would be easier if you weren’t crowding me out, husband,” you point out with more than a hint of snark.
Benedict lets out a quiet chuckle.
“I’m merely trying to provide ample instruction, my love,” his voice tinged with amusement as a gust of wind makes the trees surrounding you rustle slightly, whipping the points of his cravat up to tickle your neck.
You hum, sceptical of that assessment. He seems to be doing his darndest to distract you as much as assist you.
“Here, hold it… like this,” his arm snakes around your back and his long, warm, agile fingers curl around yours on the barrel of the rifle.
“You are just doing this in sport now, aren’t you?” you pout.
“Not in the slightest,” he lilts, “you just have to be the very best at everything, don’t you? So here we are.”
You almost hate how accurately he can sum you up with such an economy of words.
“Now look down the barrel of the gun along the aim line; line up your target with that v-shaped notch and fire at will,” he tutors softly, his lips brushing the shell of your ear.
You take a calming breath and line up your aim with the empty wine bottle he has placed on the old stone ruin in the forest, some distance away.
He is silent as you cock the trigger, but just as your trigger finger moves to fire, he leans right in and rumbles right in your ear.
“I love seeing you handle my weapon.”
The gun fires loudly and ricochets you backwards.
And… you miss—by a country mile.
Your whole body instinctively reacting to that bedroom voice he can affect whenever he wants to rile you.
“Not fair!” you huff loud and indignant. “I call shenanigans! I demand a redo!”
“All is fair in love and war, my darling,” he chuckles, already turned away to load and prepare his gun for the same shot.
“That was not done out of love,” you counter, brushing a stray hair from your face, “but it was a declaration of war, Mr Bridgerton.”
He guffaws louder. “Do your worst, my darling. I was a crack shot at Eton, and I'm still not bad now,” he simpers, the confidence oozing from him both attractive and galling.
He really needs to be taken down a peg or two.
To be fair, he looks an innate natural with his rifle as he checks the barrel and lines up for his shot, his hold one of practised ease and years of tutelage. You’re almost annoyed at how good he looks, just how damn attractive he looks—his tan britches and blue overcoat straining in all the right places over his muscular outline. Damn him.
“Now darling, once I’m done tutoring you, maybe you will be this good,” he states airily, shooting you a crooked, sideways grin without taking his eyes off the target.
So you deploy the one weapon you have in your arsenal that obliterates him—every time.
Just as you see his trigger finger squeeze, you lean in and slide a hand heavily over the front of his trousers.
“I am so wet for you right now….” you exhale, biting his earlobe, breathing hot and heavy into his ear.
The gun fires…. And he has missed by a mile too.
He swings his head to look at you, mouth hanging open in disbelief as you simply tilt your head and raise your eyebrow.
“What? You did it to me,” you shrug.
“You brazen little minx,” he growls, and its equal parts impressed and annoyed.
“Husband, you told me, on our wedding night, if I recall, if I were ever in such a circumstance that I should tell you right away,” you continue in that smug tone. “I am merely abiding by your ‘ample instruction’,” you volley, echoing his own words right back at him as it's his turn to quirk an eyebrow.
You squeal as he tackles you to the ground. And there is no more shooting for a while… at least not with rifles.

Kanthony Prompt #12
From Anonymous:
Looking at your profile pic, I would love a drabble about what they could be whispering to each other in those moments from the promos.

Kanthony mini Drabble that I thought up just for fun:
"Didi, if I tell you we have a problem, you won't be angry at me right?" Edwina mumbled as softly as she could, as they were getting ready for bed that night
Kate frowned " what is it Bon?" Edwina was a gentle young woman who rarely voiced dissatisfaction at all and tonight was supposed to be the night of her dreams
"I feel awful about this, especially considering how kind Lady Danbury and the Queen have been to me" Edwina looked around as tho she was looking out for any suspicious servants "But it's Viscount Bridgerton, the man I danced with... I simply don't like him"
"You don't?... great, I mean, I support you love, of course you don't" Kate sat with her in the bed and patted her hand "do you want to tell me why?"
"oh it wasn't anything he did, the man was perfectly amiable but he just looked at me like if I were a prop on a mantlepiece Didi, Edwina Sharma, another checkmark on his Todo list" Edwina groaned " I can't imagine such a man courting me "
"Oh dearest, if you truly don't like him you don't have to entertain him, nobody will force you to marry him" Kate counselled
"I can't exactly turn him away, he's the most elegible bachelor of the ton, everyone would think I'm insane" Edwina continued leaning on her elder sister "That's why you should get rid of him for me"
"Are you sure?" Kate was known to be heavy handed after all
"Yes, I may not be able to tell him no, but you can! Just drive him away and he'll leave me alone long before he finds out I don't like him" Edwina thought about it for a second "better yet, make him regret even trying to court me in the first place "
_-----------------
One month later
Edwina shook her head looking at her sister and the besotted Viscount glued to Kate's side " you know Didi when I asked you to take him out of my life I didn't mean for you to take him out for a special marriage license"
" I tried" Kate defended herself "I swear I did" trying to push the smirking Anthony away from her " Short of killing him myself he just wouldn't quit coming back"
"forgive her this once Edwina, it was all my fault" her new brother in law chuckled hugging Kate and placing his head on her neck "Kate truly did try her best to drive me away"
Edwina shook her head " And to think during the dinner with my grandparents we were so close to getting him to stop pestering our household"
Kate sighed " I know Bon, I Know"
Au in which instead of asking Kate to get along with Anthony, Edwina asks her sister to drive the man away because she doesn't like him, and Kate spends all the season sabotaging Anthony's life in various ways, until he clues in and starts pushing back against all her dirty tricks. Culminating in a game of pall mall where a sexually-frustrated Anthony decides the best way to finish driving Kate crazy for the rest of his life is to marry her. Leaving Edwina very disappointed at her sister's lack of success getting rid of the Viscount.
