Penelope gave a small nod as he assured her it wouldn't happen again. "Good." she mumbled softly. Though she hadn't been overly upset about what had occurred, there was still a small feeling of unease that lingered due to him nearly falling for the temptation but his words comforted her enough to lessen it. He had remained faithful to her so she remained trusting of him and the promise he gave her.
The knight closed her eyes serenely as he began to kiss along her neck. With the issue discussed, she was able to lose herself more deeply in his touch, which became more familiar now that it lacked urgency. She relaxed in his arms and trailed a hand up to rest against the side of his neck as he kissed her again. As she felt him loosen the fastening of her dress, she didn't stop him and instead helped him remove the clothing. She took a small step back from him to slip out of the dress.
Letting it fall to the ground, Penelope pressed deeply into him again and kissed along his jaw. She trailed kisses all the way to his ear, pausing only to take the lobe between her teeth in a gentle yet playful bite. Her heart raced excitedly, driven by both passion and affection that felt like they had been building up during her three weeks apart from him. However, now along with it, was a desire to give him more of a reason to remain faithful to her.
That uneasiness she felt didn't disappear completely. He had nearly been swayed by Rikki and though she trusted his word, part of her still felt worried the female thief might still figure out a way to get between them. After all, Penelope was only able to see him on occasion while Rikki saw him every day and slept near him every night. Knowing that, the knight felt a bit pressured to make sure he had good reason to wait for her in between their meetings. Her hand slipped down to the hem of his tunic, beginning to help him take it off while her fingertips traced over the sides of his torso.
