Seth did hear her little curse when he touched her skin, he assumed that it meant even his feather light touch hurt her. He really hated himself at that moment, with her job she couldn't go out there with a bruise, she was supposed to look perfect and flawless. He hoped that he didn't ruin her job because of a moment of stupidity on his part.
When he met her eyes he saw that she forgave him and for that he was grateful. He braced himself for a shock from the hand that was on his cheek. It reminded him a bit too much of earlier. However he was pleasantly surprised when she kissed him tenderly. It didn't take him long to respond and pull her closer to him. He moved one of his hands from her waist to cradle her neck and jaw as he tilted his head to deepen the kiss.
