When she froze, looked at him like that, his heart nearly stopped beating--literally. He couldn't think to breathe while she wasn't, and he had an image in his mind of her fleeing from the room and back home because he'd crossed that line and asked too much of her. But the words had been pressing, begging to be said, some sort of assurance for them both that this was something more.
When her words came, there seemed to be a rushing sound in his head as the world started spinning again. He swallowed, fingers moving to caress her cheek, run through her hair, tug her lips to meet his in a soft kiss.
"As I do you..." When or how it had happened, when he told himself it wouldn't, not again, not after losing Lauren, he wasn't sure, but he recognized the feeling, and he wanted her to know.
