"Is it easier to handle her when I am not around?" He frowns. Danny had always had the impression that having him around helped Steve be calm when Catherine was there. "Eliot knows. He knows we sleep together, he knows I will smell of you. Heck, you don't think he smelled it on Monday? He knows what he is getting into. I am not going to let him go feral."

He frowns at Steve's words. It actually hurts that Steve thinks he will leave him. Hasn't he proven his loyalty by now? Shown Steve he can be trusted. "I have a fully functional Sentinel already, I always have had. There is nothing wrong with you, Steve, and fuck them for telling you otherwise. And I don't want to bond with anyone if that means I can't still be your guide. I am your guide first and foremost. I have promised you that a million times. Trust me, Steve. Trust me to have your back. You ask that of me every single day. Let me show you that it isn't a one-way street."
