Tense Moment

After an intense and passionate night in Kael's arms, the following morning raised questions about our future and whether his words during our intimate moments were genuine or just a ploy to persuade me into an empty night of pleasure. Kael had never needed to lie to get what he wanted before, and indeed, he hadn't this time. However, his coercive behavior revealed much about his character. If he was capable of using coercion to achieve his desires, he would surely be capable of lying as well.
