Penelope lifts her head and looks down at Luke, looking at her. She tries to push herself up but Luke tightens his arm around her, "No."
"Let go of me Luke." Penelope says as she struggles to get out of him arms.
"I said no." Luke holds on tighter at the waist. She must be furious he thought because he was actually losing his grip on her. The suitcase between his feet was preventing him from getting a proper full body hold on her. The suitcase makes a small screeching sound as it slide away by Luke's kick. Penelope gets slightly distracted from the noise and he feels her body loosen. Luke takes the opportunity and flips them over. He grabs her hand and pins them next to her head
"What the.. Luke get off of me. Let me go." She struggles under him. Lifting her pelvic area and tries to bend her knees to push him off.
Due to Penelope rubbing against him, his body begins to react. "Penelope would you please, for the love of God, stop moving or you won't like what happens next."
"Keep your threats to yourself Luke. Get off me or I won't hesitate to scream and your new friend across the hall will be more then happy to call security on you." She continues to try and lift herself off the floor, struggling and rubbing up against him. Looking at her hand trying to get them release. The moment she looks at Luke to say something he crashes his lips on her. He kisses her and she doesn't stops him. She closes her eyes and slowly begins to give in, she missed him. He begins shuffling on top of her and she could feel how hard he was between her legs. She opens her eyes and bite down on his lip.
"Ow!" Luke releases one of her hands and touches his lip. He removes his finger and saw the pinkish tint of blood. He quickly grabs her hand again and pins it down when she begins to try and push away from him. "I told you you wouldn't like it. Now stop fighting me." Luke said with a cocky smile.
"You asshole." Penelope looks off to the side upset that she almost began to give in on that kiss. But she gives in to his request and lays down quietly under him. Waiting for him to release her so she could get away from him
"Penelope look at me." Luke said looking down at her. She huffed and continued to look to the side, ignoring him. "You don't know me right? Well let me tell you one thing. I can be a real stubborn asshole." Penelope let out a ha followed by a huff. She didn't believe it. He tried to act stubborn in the past but he always failed in front of her. She always got what she needed out of him. "I can stay like this for a long.." he leaned down to whisper in her ear. "long time." He felt her shivers under him. He smiled and his lips brushed her ear. She clenched her fist. He pushed himself to look at her. He kept staring at her as she rolled her eyes. She could feel him staring. She was having feelings she didn't want to have. He shifted to get more comfortable and she felt how hard he was again as he press harder against her. She released a groan and turned to look at Luke. "I will never be unfaithful to you." Luke said the moment she looked at him.
Penelope body stiffen by the sincerity in his voice. His eyes were remorseful but she looked away. She couldn't see him that way. Also she had heard this way to much in the past. She was native then but she wasn't anymore.
"Penelope, me and Matt were leaving the restaurant when this drunk girl bumped into me and her lipstick rubbed off on me. Matt told me to clean it off but it didn't seem necessary. It was a accident. Cleaning it off felt like I was wrong. Like I did something I wasn't suppose to do. When you saw it and didn't say anything. It built a new confidence in me about us." Luke wasn't going to mention that he felt bad that she didn't approach him because he, himself, didn't know why he felt this way. "Then when you left your phone at home when you went to visit your sister. You weren't answering your calls and several things were running through my head I couldn't think straight." Luke grasp on Penelope wrist got tighter. It was hurting her a bit but she welcomed it. This moment and everything in it felt different. "I began thinking you were mad at me or worse something had happened to you. Miles away and no one to contact. It was driving me nuts and Matt kept poking the idea that you were probably sitting there thinking about me having an affair. I could never be unfaithful Pen. That is not who I am. I might just be a bit too faithful." Luke chuckled at himself remembering Scarlett. "I ended up using Prentiss lipstick and perfume to prove to Matt, more to myself, that the trust you had in me was unbreakable." Luke released Penelope hands. Penelope felt the weight leave her wrist and quickly turned to look at him. He was still on top of her looking down at her. "Pen, our marriage isn't based off love. We don't have the luxury of love. All we have is trust and with it gone, everything will come crashing down like a house of cards." Matt words never effected him that much before but that day it did. If Penelope didn't trust him then what did they have left. He was afraid he would lose it all. He needed to reassure himself that she trusted him and that they relationship was safe. He never thought it through. "You weren't answering, my mind kept wondering was the foundation of our marriage broken. The person on the phone that day in the closet was Matt. I wanted to tell you but then Matt announced his engagement and this party. As far as I knew, you hadn't seen the shirt. I thought you threw all the clothes in together and didn't get a chance to see it. So I had time. I would of told you earlier but I didn't want you walking around this weekend hurt. I never once took you anywhere and you never complained once. I just wanted you to enjoy this weekend with me before I told you." Luke lifted himself up and sat on his knees as he pulled Penelope to sit up as well. He held her hands in his looking at her. He kept his eyes on her the entire time. Never once did his eyes move. Not even to think of a better word to say. Everything he said was coming straight from his heart. "The first time is was an accident but the second time I intentionally did something to hurt you and I am sorry Pen." Penelope thought back to the words that Luke whispered in the closet that day, '…you know the first was a mistake but yesterday.. yesterday was intentional…' Luke helped Penelope off the floor and walked her to the edge of the bed. He had her sit down on the bed as he kneeled in front of her. He placed a hand on her face, looking at her. "Penelope, I am sorry for hurting you and putting you in a position where you were unable to trust me. But everything I just said was the truth. I have never been unfaithful to you. I am not going to ask you to believe everything I said because that is on you. If you don't trust me then we have nothing left. I leave it on you Penelope. Do what your heart tells you." Luke gets up and walks over to the window to look out to the highway across from him leaving Penelope with her thoughts."
