I lean forward and place my forehead against his bare shoulder. I close my eyes and take a deep breath as he licks the bite again. I hiss in pain yet again and tense up but I refuse to bite him. I know just how sharp my teeth are so I can't bring myself to do that to him.
He reaches up with his other hand and gently holds the back of my neck as he continues to lick the bite. If this was before, I would have smacked him for trying to lick it! I would have poured rubbing alcohol on it, put a bandage on it, and called it a day.

I try to think of something, anything, to distract me from the pain but it was hard to do. Alec was kneading the back of my neck, trying to bring me comfort but it didn't do much in the face of this pain.
