Secrets Promised and Hidden

His hands shake whenever he holds her; he's almost always nervous, but she doesn't mind. He is gentle, delibrate in his physical affections towards her, yet initially hesitant, and it often takes coaxing on her part to calm him down whenever they touch. A hug, a caress, sometimes even kisses, slow and deep--these things are quick and sweet when the others aren't around, precious moments stolen in shadowed corners and behind closed doors, where they know they are safe from questioning, prying eyes. His hands are large, gentle, and the sensation of his calloused fingers and palms against her skin sends her spirialling into moments of shivering pleasure, with her hands holding his face and his hair tickling her cheek and their bodies pressed close together.
She tells him she loves him everyday; a whisper in his ear, a breath against his lips, a strong and sure confession while she stares him in the eye. He himself has never openly told her he loves her like she has to him, but she is an understanding person and knows that fear is something that is rooted deep within his mind and heart, something that holds him back from many things--but what he cannot portray in words he makes clear in his actions--his love is a secret revealed gently from fingertips and inside yellow-gold stares, a promise murmered in ghosting breathes, running deep beneath smooth green skin.
