Sonny was a little different back then, he was still essentially the same Sonny Claire Labine wrote for. He was less misogynistic, more in control of his libido, and he would have tried to keep himself from Brenda. Lily wasn't really the threat, it was the baby. That's why I think Brenda kind of gives up and gives in to Jax, because she needs the distraction and the comfort, and that baby is the one thing she thought would make a vow Sonny would not break for her. And that was just an unborn child, imagine if Lily had more kids and didn't die right away. But Sonny did not love Lily, that was a huge part of his breakdown after she died, and the feelings they both expressed about how wrong it would be to give in at that point. He felt guilty for dragging her into a marriage and his feelings for Brenda are what set up the chain of events with Lily's father having the bomb planted. And Brenda's own actions with the wire had betrayed Sonny so much that Lily was able to slide right in there.
To me, the most important and defining line of their relationship until the conversation they had at the end of her last full return was the one about Sonny always leaving her in the rain. Dramatic and overwrought as it was, but that's Sonny/Brenda!
