There are several moments spent just feeling the flush of my cheeks and the warmth of Dex's gaze while I remain without any words to respond to him.
I would tell him that he is breathtaking, too, because it's true. It's so true. His beautiful full lips and the dimples behind his reddish brown beard when he smiles; the honey brown of his eyes that are so deeply soulful and expressive; literally every line of his body, from the angles of his face to the strong rounds of his shoulders to the ridges of his abdomen and the tapered V at his hips that points to where my desire always leads. Every single inch of him is heavenly.
But since he said I was breathtaking first, it will only sound like I am compelled to return the compliment. And I don't want to gush, but I have a feeling that is where it will go. Instead of saying all of that, I keep it in… this tension that builds in what remains unsaid and only felt.
