23 Overwhelmingly Sexy Simon GIFs From Bridgerton, For Your Repeated Viewing Pleasure

Do you have some extra antiperspirant on hand? Because you're gonna need it after making your way through this article, so consider yourself (and your sweat glands) warned. Now that I've had ample time to fully process that Regé-Jean Page will not be returning for Bridgerton's second season, I'm paying tribute to the handsome Duke of Hastings by — what else? — reminiscing on his sexiest season one moments. We may not witness any more of Simon Basset's seductive spoon licks or sultry smolders when the Netflix series returns, but at least we have these GIFs to look back on when we're craving a steamy walk down memory lane. Shall we embark on the sweat-inducing journey, dear reader?
