He was taken by surprise when she took his face in her hands. When she brought her forehead up against his own. There was no small amount of shock written on his face. He was almost sure she'd end their short relationship. He listened to her little speech, and was about to admit that he didn't expect her to say it to him. He didn't expect any of that. But he was cut off from the thought all together when her lips met his. He couldn't help but groan at the feel.
He'd missed it so much. His arms circled around her waist and he drew her up against him, kissing her back with just as much passion as she offered, and then some. He wanted her to feel his words. To know he meant them with every inch of his body. He'd kiss her breathless if that's what it took. He wanted her to never doubt he meant them when he said it, even if she never returned them. He still meant them.
