Lightning laughed slightly, letting out a relaxed moan at the feel of his hands. "Mmn... Zack..." Her voice was a soft, contented whisper as she scrubbed lightly at the skin on her chest, gasping slightly louder at the feel of her hand against her own sensitive nipple. Blushing, Lightning leaned into the man, tilting her head up to nibble his earlobe just lightly. She wasn't so much of a sexual person until she'd met him and the way his fingers felt... it made her skin tingle. In the best way possible, of course.
Zack shivered a little, still hand-scrubbing her back, though he took the time now to let his hands linger at her shoulders, stiffened fingers passing over her flesh to help relax her. Someone like Lightning, he presumed, would wind up tense and knotty, maybe stressed, and Zack knew how to work that out, the added benefit being that he felt very strongly towards Lightning, so it was no trouble at all for him. He thought he might be having a bad influence on her, when she started on his ear, but Zack didn't mind that at all, really, "Yeah Lightnin'..?" he did his best to keep his voice steady, smooth even, keeping an almost innocent tone.
Her hand curled around the back of his neck, threading in his black hair a little. "I... I think... n-no, it doesn't matter." She looked away, unsure of herself and uncertain of the things she was thinking. If she said it, truly said it, would it change things between them? Her hands rested in place on his neck and shoulder as the teen just enjoyed the way he worked her muscles and flesh under his skilled fingertips.
Zack made a small noise, still rubbing with a smile, "Of course it matters. Whatever's on yer mind, Lightnin', y'can tell me." he wanted her to know he was supportive, and there for her, that the girl could always count on him. But that was the way Zack was when he was committed; totally committed. "Last time I didn't wanna tell ya somethin', yer glare looked like I might need stitches. I can't glare that well, y'know, so pretend I can, hmm?" Lightning laughed softly and she toyed gently at his hair, soon lifting her head.
The young girl moved closer, resting the back of her knee over his thigh and kissing his face, right by his ear. Her stomach was aching and she could barely keep her breath steady nor her heart still but she just went for it, because unless you go after what you want, you never get to feel that thing in your arms. "Zack... I... I think I'm in love with... you..." Her voice was soft as she spoke but that lightness carried more weight than it ever had. She was more than certain of her feelings but... she wasn't sure if he would be so certain of his.
His fingers paused for a brief moment, that in retrospect must have been an agonizing while for the young woman, before starting up again. Zack held her close, smiling softly and looking at her, not daring to question her after she took such a risk with him. He was rather glad he felt the same way about her, so he didn't have to see the hurt in her eyes that would have come if he didn't.. "I.. well, at least I don't have to keep it from ya.. I love you." he'd been in love before, knew what it was like, and regardless of anything else, he was always on Cloud Nine when he was with her, his heart pounding just as he went to see her, and other things. "Have for awhile, I reckon." Who said reckon anymore, either? He must have been a little more nervous than he let on, to slip into hick-speak.
That brief moment had been complete torture to her; her heart stopped, she was sure of it, but when he spoke... and returned the sentiment, she managed to let out a shaky sigh before just burying her face in his neck, laughing lightly at the amusing and adorable way his accent and words came out. She couldn't even think of any witty dig or sarcastic comment; instead, she just pulled back slightly, to look at his face, smiling so openly and warmly at him.
Zack held tightly to her, not wanting to let the girl go, his smile somewhat shaky.. Suddenly, he just hugged her close and tight, his arms strong as steel around her, keeping her against him, with him.. "I'm not lettin' ya get away, Lightnin'. Never ever." he swallowed hard, pleased with how things were right then.
