What does it mean if a guy says "I want to take care of you"?

Anonymous
During intimate relations with my boyfriend of a few months he said "I want to take care of you, you are so beautiful"...I'm an established woman with a career and independent as well so what do you think he meant by this? Sex with him is like nothing I have ever experienced ever - it's definitely love making and we have both cried in each others arms, very intimate & for the first time in such a long time I feel completely vulnerable and madly in love with him.
