When at last she was back under Boss's protective arm, she touched her stinging cheeks.

He brought his hand up to the stinging cheek, felt the angry welt rising there.

Her hand went to her stinging cheek on its own volition.

I rubbed the knuckles of my other hand against my stinging cheek.

Marie glared at him, feeling the heat grow in her stinging cheek, refusing to rub it.

Next I became aware of stinging cheeks and nose, and could feel blood dripping on my face.

"Just like him," she had said with her hand to her stinging cheek.

They ran down my cheeks, hot and stinging.

He brought his hand up to his stinging cheek and felt it covered with tiny sharp fragments.
