He nodded, still caressing her. "It was a small thing," he said. "Look at me," he said, pulling her back up to look at him. "I love you, and I don't say that lightly. There's so much that I want to say and do with you that it scares me a little bit. You're an amazing girl... woman, and I can't believe that I'm so lucky to have found you. I know that you have a hard time controlling your urges, and I think I can handle an occasional mistake, as long as you're honest with me."
She smiled at his sincerity, and looked like she felt better.
"I promise you here and now that I won't leave you for any indiscretions," he said, surprising himself. It was even more surprising to him that he meant it. He wouldn't leave.
"As long as you're honest with me," he said, "I'll always love you."
