The Hand Touch Between Simon And Daphne Is *Actually* The Steamiest Scene In "Bridgerton"

    Broke: library scene. Woke: hand touch by the portrait scene.

    Bridgerton has been all the rage since it premiered on Christmas Day — thank you, Shonda — and I consider myself a loyal member of the BFC (Bridgerton Fan Club).

    Now, in case you weren't aware, Season 1 follows Daphne Bridgerton and Simon Basset's enemies-to-fake-dating-to-lovers-to-passionate-enemies-and-then-back-to-lovers storyline*.

    Much to everyone's surprise and, ahem, enjoyment, there is a LOT of sex in this show. SPECIFICALLY, the stirring library scene™ has been all anyone can talk about:

    Well, dear reader, I am here to direct your attention to ANOTHER scene that deserves our attention: the HAND TOUCH!

    When I say I stan...

    give me a gentle hand caress between upper class 19th century men and women too stubborn to express their love for one another over a steamy sex scene any day

    So, needless to say, when I saw this scene in Bridgerton I just about fainted:

    LIKE!!

    HELLO!!!

    Upon further inspection, Daphne is seen putting her glove back on. Which means she WANTED TO FEEL THE DUKE'S TOUCH!!

    Before you get your corset in a twist, I'm not the only one who! thinks! this!

    I’ve never gotten so hot and bothered over a hand touch #Bridgerton

    I never imagined that a touch of a hand would make me shiver. #LiveTweet #Bridgerton

    The hottest scene in #Bridgerton isn’t sex it’s when Daphne is talking about his painting and then their hands touch! Makes me as happy as the hand flex from pride & prejudice (2005)
