On his coming-of-age birthday, Benedict receives comprehensive guidance from his older brother and a tour of houses of tolerance as a useful gift. ────୨ৎ──── Surrounded by burgundy fabrics, candles, velvet and silk sheets, Benedict Bridgerton, on his coming-of-age birthday, felt both thrilled and a bit anxious. He was looking forward to an unforgettable experience of real male, albeit carnal, joys, and he was determined to take full advantage of the opportunity that his older brother Anthony had kindly given him by secretly taking him to a house of tolerance after a party at home. Soon enough, his one-night sweetheart appeares...

"Good evening, my lord."

After giving him a polite bow, a scantily clad young girl approaches him, graceful as a cat, and tilts her head slightly, probably surprised by his confused state and saucer-like eyes. Then she smiles warmly at him.

"It's an honor for me to brighten up your routine today."
