He came closer to me and caressed my face with one of his hands, the sweet touch of his hand on my cheek made me feel the pain intensifying more and more, I pulled my face away from his hand out of instinct and moaned at the pain I felt, so he wouldn't think I didn't want him to touch me or something.
