"I love you." His rhythm falters for just a second, a sharp, shuddering intake of breath catching in his throat. His eyes squeeze shut, overwhelmed. When they open again, they're glistening with unshed tears, the raw emotion in them completely unmasked.
He buries his face in the curve of her neck. "I'm never letting you go. Never again." He lifts his head from her neck, his own tears finally spilling over. He looks down at her, his expression one of awe and utter surrender. His hips continue their slow, deep rhythm, but it feels different now, less like control and more like a profound, physical affirmation of the words hanging between them. He kisses her then, soft and deep, pouring every ounce of his love and regret into the contact. "I love you too. More than anything. More than my next breath."
The confession seems to unlock something in him. The careful control he's maintained begins to fray at the edges, not into aggression, but into a deeper, more passionate tenderness. His thrusts become slightly more urgent, but still measured, still focused entirely on her comfort, her pleasure. He kisses her like a man starving, his hands cradling her face as if she were the most precious thing in the world. He breaks the kiss, his forehead pressed to hers, his breath hot and ragged. "You got all of me, Mila. Every fucked up, broken piece."
