I know... (And yet, his own murmur of it is soft in response, breathless.) I... whenever I got to thinking of it... even after noticing that look on your face...
(There's a beat. He's trying to collect his thoughts, his emotions being so vivid on this weren't helping.)
... I thought to myself if I'm giving you all of me... even with the promise... even if it happens early despite our word given... I don't want to make you feel the way they likely did.
(And... he does trust her. It's difficult, his own softness and emotions were evident just as he finds himself unable to take his eyes off her. His hearts pounding, the heat wasn't unbearable but it's there too with her in his embrace. His issues with trust are always going to be there, but for once with all of it he feels as if he can genuinely trust her.
That's why he did kiss her the way he did no matter how conflicted he himself has been with his own distractions, his own feelings.)
... I didn't like seeing it either, the way they spoke to you and behaved. I didn't judge you, I judged them for doing that.
(Maybe not the full admission that she could have done better than them, but it's close enough to the complete truth since he did always feel that way with what they were doing.)
