"Wait!" Katelyn insisted, pushing him away again, establishing a small but necessary distance. "Will you be sincere?" Her eyes were piercing. "What about the women you've seen in the past? What did you do about Evelyn? She came to lecture me the other day!"
Her voice escalated as she delivered a clear, fiery warning. "What if more women come later? I swear, you'll die by my hands if that happens!"
Sage listened without flinching, knowing he deserved this scrutiny. "What Evelyn did was indeed my negligence in the matter," he admitted honestly. "I ended everything with her on a good note from my side. As for the others, no one has returned to me. It never happened, except for a very few old acquaintances."
He stepped closer. "Kate, I swear, I am not the man who is relieving his stress through sex only. In the huge amount of time we spent together, you must have seen this as well. My views have changed. Did you not feel it even once? Tell me."
