I was at a loss for words

I was at a loss for words.i didn't know what to say back to him after his declaration of love for me.I was never good with verbally talking,or expressing how I felt,Only on paper,But I was good at Showing how I felt.And looking at
Peter right now shirtless,vulnerable,admist in the moonlight and hot tub lights.....I could see it.I could see our future.Maybe,what I've been feeling for the past couple months was reciprocated.So  that's  why I did what I did.I drew back my shyness,and slowly eased my way down on the hot tub ledge.All while having complete eye contact with Peter.He automatically leaned forward ,but stayed there.Waiting.His hazel eyes were glistening with golden specks in anticipation,of what I may do next.For the first time in our relationship,or "fake "relationship ,I was the one making the decisions,the first lead.
      I let my feet,with my light blue nail polish, gently touch the inside of the hot water on the bench.The new warmth was definitely helping with my nerves.i slowly undid each button on my flannel,all without breaking eye contact mind you,I saw Peter gulp ,his Adam's apples bobbing up and down,and was amused that I could make him this way.Once I was done,I slowly slid it off my shoulders and set it down on the ground.With my new set of braveness,I slowly eased my way in the tub.
     His eyes widened for a second,I guess he didn't think I would get in all the way.
"What about your nightgown?"he said in a husky whisper.
"What about it,Kavinsky ?"I said back with a little smirk.
Any reply died on his lips.
    We were now face to face,and to be honest,I wasn't calculating every step or move like when I'm around him in public,or what I was going to say or do,I was at ease with him,just the two of us.
    He reached up and tugged on a stranded hair,curled it with his finger and cupped it behind my ear.
     Sigh,I loved it when he did that.
His gaze was scorching me from the inside out,my tummy was fluttering with butterfly's.
He reached around my neck with his calloused strong hand and made a little design with his finger on the back of my neck.he went up and tugged on my loose messy bun on the top of my head.
   "God....your so beautiful"He idly traced with his fingers down my neck to my ear,then to my collarbone.It felt oddly wonderful,and sensual at the same time,but he wouldn't go any further.
And I wanted more.
He set his hand on my hip,the short night gown,was floating in the water,so his firm grip was actually touching my skin under the dress.He gave me a reassuring squeeze.And then sat back down in the hot tub ,lightly pulling me with,but only to where I was standing still.
I knew what he was doing.He was letting me choose.He wasn't pressuring me,but only giving me some space to do what "I" wanted.And I loved him even more for that.Love.huh,I never really thought more on the subject,I knew I liked him,ever since 7th grade and we had our first innocent kiss with spin the bottle and now.....Yup,I was definitely in way over my head.
