"I know." She met his gaze with a smile. She already knew that he would never force himself on her, which was why she Trusted him so much. She could even lie down on his bed, under the same covers and still be fearless about it. Besides, he paid so much attention to her feelings that he let her decide what she wanted to do, and when she wanted to do it, and when she wanted to stop. It was as though her feelings and comfort mattered to him more than his own needs did.

He pulled a strand of her hair behind her ear. "I will not force you to do anything else either."
She nodded to his promise, which meant the world to her.
