I stared at him in disbelief as he stared back at me, unable to find the words to follow up on what he had just said. The words hung between us as neither one of us moved, each waiting for the other to break the spell.
"What did you say?" I finally said in a soft voice, "I think I may have stroked out there for a second."
Striker took a step forward until we were toe to toe, "I said I love you, dammit."
Without thinking, I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him. I felt his arms snake around my waist, pulling me even closer against him. Somehow, that kiss managed to say everything we could not find the words for.
"Striker?" I murmured against his lips.
"Hm?" He kissed his way along my jaw and down my neck.
I was worried words would fail me again, but managed to say in a breathless whisper, "I love you too."
