It's a word Will's never used before to describe a partner, though it's been a long time since he's had the need to use any words at all, considering how infrequently he's been involved in a relationship approaching something romantic. But he likes the use of lover between himself and Hannibal. It encompasses a lot of things, emotional and physical, a bond that's deeper than anything Will's shared with another person before in his life. He doesn't plan to use it excessively in mixed company, but he likes the idea of having in his pocket for those moments when he might feel the need to demonstrate his claim on Hannibal. He's giving up his life for this man, and gladly, but as such he has no intention of sharing Hannibal with anyone else.
It's less a worry about Hannibal straying, because now that they're here, the only way Will can see Hannibal leaving him is by killing him. It has to do with anyone else who might get an idea that Hannibal might be available. He knows there might be times where Hannibal's ability to attract and sway another person will be quite the asset, but at the end of the day he wants to be the only one sharing Hannibal's bed.
By accepting the term Will knows Hannibal has similar feelings about him, and Will is more than a little glad for it.
"Giacomo," Will repeats, a small smile touching his lips, amused not only by the fact that Will will be able to call Hannibal Giac as an endearment (the irony coming in that it sounds very much like 'Jack'), but also in that it's the same name given to the infamous Lothario Casanova. Will licks his lower lip, then drags his teeth over the flesh as he watches Hannibal's face. "I like it," he says, reaching to cup Hannibal's cheek in kind, moving forward until he can kiss Hannibal's lips gently. He knows it's time to go, and he's more than ready to embark on this voyage, but getting out of the bed seems like an enormously insurmountable task.
