Penny could hear the shouting from across the hall, mostly from Amy.
"What's Sheldon done now? Man, she's really pissed!"
Penny thought to herself. Never one to miss a chance for gossip material, Penny stood closer to her own door to see if she could hear what all the fuss was about. But, alas, she could only hear shouting, not the words that were being shouted. Still she thought to herself,
"I can't wait to tell Bernadette!"
Eventually the shouting stopped. Through her peephole she saw Sheldon leaving the apartment and walking towards her own.
Knock-knock-knock. "Penny and Leonard." Knock-knock-knock. "Penny and Leonard." Knock-knock-knock. "Penny and Leonard."
She opened the door. "Hi, Sheldon. Leonard's not here. Is there anything I can help you with."
"I suppose," he replied with a long face. "May I come in?"
"Of course."
Sheldon went straight to his spot on the couch and slumped into it, putting his elbow on the arm of the couch and resting his head in his hand. Penny sat down next to him.
"What's wrong, Sheldon?"
"Amy's mad at me."
"Yeah, I heard. I'm sorry, sweetie," she replied, rubbing her hand tenderly on his shoulder. "Why is she mad?"
"I'm not sure." He paused. "I think she's upset because I touched another woman's breasts."
"What?! Sheldon!"
"Interesting. That's the exact reaction Amy had."
"Why were touching another woman's breasts?"
"Well, some colleagues and I were talking about the amazing advances that have been made in the plastic surgery field and how they could take a male and turn him into a female without there being a hint that woman was once a male." He paused. "One of the new female professors mentioned that she had recently had her breasts augmented and wondered if I would give her new breasts an evaluation in private and offer an opinion based strictly on science and physics."
"Sheldon!"
"I don't understand. It was strictly for scientific purposes."
"Did she take off her shirt and bra?"
"No." He paused. "She took off her shirt. She wasn't wearing a bra."
"Sheldon!"
"Help me understand, Penny. What did I do wrong?"
"Sheldon, when you're in a relationship with somebody, there are boundaries that each person in that relationship doesn't cross. Touching another woman's breasts, and other private parts, is a pretty big line most women get upset about her mate crossing."
"Penny, I don't understand all these rules in relationships. It's one of the few things I'm not good at. And now I'm afraid I've ruined things with Amy," he said in a forlorn voice.
"I know, sweetie, I know," she said as she rested her head in his chest, her hand now wrapped around his waist. Sheldon uncharacteristically wrapped his right arm around Penny, still resting his head with his left hand. "Relationships are hard. You guys will figure it out. It just takes time."
"But she's so mad. She told me to get out."
"I'll talk to her. She'll get over it. You two odd ducks are meant to be with each other."
"Thank you, Penny."
They stayed cuddled on the couch for a few moments. Then Penny glanced down and could see a bulge had grown in Sheldon's pants.
"Sheldon? Sheldon, are you getting a hard on?"
"A 'hard on'? What's a hard on?"
"Your penis. Is your penis getting stiff?" She ran her hand down and began to rub his growing bulge.
"Penny! Why are you rubbing my groin?!"
"You do have a hard on! Is this making you horny?"
"Horny?"
"Sexually aroused, Sheldon."
"Well, let's see. I like us sitting like this. Your scent is quite intoxicating. Your skin is so soft where ever I touch it. My heart rate and breathing patterns are higher than normal. Yes, all signs point to being sexually aroused."
"God, Sheldon. Only you could make being horny sound like a trip to the doctor."
"Do you think I need to see a doctor?!"
"No, Sheldon, you need a release," she said as she undid his belt buckle and the button on his pants.
"Penny?! What are you doing?!"
"I want to see what you're hiding in here, Sheldon," she said as she unzipped his pants.
"But Penny, you said couples shouldn't touch other people's private parts."
"People in relationships also need to find their own boundaries, boundaries that work for them. Not every couple will have the same boundaries. This is a boundary Leonard lets me cross from time to time. And this is one of those times."
"Well, okay," he said while shrugging his shoulders.
Penny was stroking his cock through his tighty whities. She looked up at him. "Tell you what, Sheldon. Let's consider this an experiment. If you like the results, I'll teach Amy. If not, then we throw the results away and never speak of it again."
"Oooooooo, an experiment where I'm the test subject?! Sounds like fun!"
"Trust me, Sheldon, it will be fun," she said with a sly grin.
"So what's the experiment?"
"I'm going to give you a blow job, Sheldon."
"A 'blow job'? What's that? Will it hurt?"
"Not if I do it right." She got off the couch and got on her knees between his legs. She tugged on his waistband and he lifted his butt out of his spot so she could pull them down. As she pulled down she could see his pole trying to pop free. And then...
His cock sprang from his pants like a jack-in-the-box, firm and straight. It matched his body build, long and lean, probably 10 inches long was her guess.
"Holy crap on a cracker, Sheldon!" She grabbed its base and began to slowly stroke it.
"What? What?! Is something wrong?!"
"Absolutely not! You have a beautiful cock, Sheldon. Now I see why Amy puts up with your shit."
"Cock?"
"Penis, Sheldon, penis." She moved closer and lightly kissed the head of his cock, then ran her tongue around its edge.
