A/N: I wanna thank BurberryCat for the suggestion and all the feedback during the making of this fic, hope you guys enjoy it! Story is set in the 21st episode of the 11th season.
Leonard did not sound convincing to Penny when he returned to their apartment from his quest. Trying to convince Raj to include her name on the comet, which she yesterday photographed with his equipment.
"He won't buckle. Said he already sent out a memo to everybody and needs this for his career."
She thanked her husband for trying and knew it was now up to her to try and convince her Indian astronomer friend. Or at least patch bad feelings between them. She never saw her friend this decisive before.
"Thank you for talking to him, now I should too. At least trying to get an apology for when he called me a monkey. That's apparently all that guys see in me..." She bowed her head.
"I'm sorry. He's a good guy, you know he didn't mean it like that." Leonard cocked his eyebrows and rubbed her shoulder, trying to consult his wife.
"I guess..." Penny sighed. "But I need to hear it from him."
She saw no other option to try and convince him in the only way she knew.
She put on her go-to seduction outfit. Black leather thin trench coat reaching down to her knees, covering her favourite clubbing mini dress underneath. She topped it with a pair of high-heel stilettos, which she put on after parking her car near his building.
Before Penny walked up his floor, she carefully looked around the hallway and took a deep breath. This is where she reached a point of no return. Last chance to cowardly walk away and admit defeat. But remain with her conscience clean and faithful to Leonard. She leaned on the rail and took her another minute, going over the plan.
"Sorry, Leonard. But I always get what I want. Right now it's my name on that comet." She thought to herself, exhaled the breath she held and hiked up her black dress. She quickly pulled down her see-through black lace thong and threw it in her purse. If she's going to do this her way, might as well go all in on it.
She twisted off her wedding ring without much remorse and put it in a small pocket inside her purse. She took another shot of Vodka from her liquor flask and walked up to Raj apartment. Her high heel stilettos clacked over the building's hallways accompanying her confident catwalk.
"Hi, Raj. Can I come in?" She knocked on his door.
"Sure, come in. Welcome." Raj answered after a few seconds. He was surprised to see her at his doorstep. After all these years, he was still crazy about her, even though she was married to his best friend. He always wanted another shot at her after that spent night together a few years ago, which ended prematurely on his end.
Her stilettos made a distinct noise on the wooden floor when she made her way to his couch in the living room. That's when he noticed her sexy calves. She took a seat on his couch and crossed her legs.
"Leonard told me what you guys discussed. I understand you. I really do."
"I've been thinking about it since he left. I should apologise to you, Penny. When I said a monkey could take that picture, I never meant it as an insult." Raj tried to look away, but his eyes still lingered over her legs. Her jacket slid back and revealed enough of her thighs to catch his stare.
"Thank you, Raj. This is really kind of you." Penny brushed his shoulder and looked at him flirting.
"Umm, would you like something to drink?" Raj dared to bring it up a notch. She's here basically flirting with him, he needs to be a good host.
"Yeah, sure."
"I'll be right back. He politely smiled and tried to walk calmly to the kitchen without bumping into something.
He brought back two glasses of wine and handed her one.
"There you go." Raj took a sip, but Penny threw down the whole half glass of wine at once. This looked a little strange to him, but at the same time, very promising.
"Mmm... that's a good wine." Penny cooed and loosened her coat a little. A bit more spiked than usual, the alcohol heated her up.
"Would you like another?" Raj couldn't believe it was actually working.
"Yeah, please. But then we really need to talk..." Penny slid her hand over her leg, letting him know what might follow. Raj chugged down his glass of wine and went to the kitchen for a refill. Penny knew she had him, judging by his nervous walk and shaky hand pouring her another glass.
This time he brought her a glass almost full. Penny immediately downed half of it and looked at Raj, her green eyes filled with lust.
"Soo... what is it you want to talk about?" Raj asked her, now he was flirting with her. He sat a bit closer and put his hand on her knee.
Penny looked at his hand and up into his eyes.
"I think we both know what needs to be resolved between us." She uncrossed her legs and let him slip his hand a little higher up the inside of her thigh. "I really... want my name on that comet."
"A correction like that would cause me quite an embarrassment at work. My boss will not be satisfied with it..." Raj gently scratched her thigh with his fingernails and looked at her with a sad face.
"I think I know how to make that easier for you..."
Penny stood up and gulped the rest of the wine. She slowly untied the belt strap which kept her coat covered up. Her deep cleavage underneath came into his view, which instantly made his cock twitch. She was always so beautiful in his eyes, even when she was not even trying. Penny slowly slid the opened jacket off her bare shoulders.
Underneath she wore her favourite sexy mini black dress. Tightly wrapped around her curves, with thin shoulder straps and deep cleavage pushing up her breasts. It reached down just enough to cover her lush ass, not even to her mid thighs. Similar to the one that almost got Leonard the tenure, but a little shorter and tighter.
