Anthony was kissing him back and touching him. This was all very encouraging. He kissed him back still light and careful as if one wrong move would ruin it all. He hesitantly held the man's arms a bit tighter, not gripping but as if to just make sure he was solid and not an apparition from a dream. His form leaned in to relish in the kiss every sensation of it he wanted to lock into his mind forever. He then pulled back, realizing if he had it his way it wouldn't end or would proceed. He wanted to hold some control over himself and keep things slow, like he promised he would. "W-wow." He smiled at him, hoping it was mutual.
