Liliana's Caress

AKA, "we only hurt the ones we can excruciatingly draw psychic nourishment from." A couple of friends posed for this in my kitchen. I just said, "act out what it's like to be married."

Just kidding. They're not acting.

All torment-savoring sexism aside, this was a really fun piece. The juxtaposition of the gentleness of her touch cradling his head, with the abrupt berserker-turbo-migraine thing is neato. That's right. I just used the word juxtaposition. And there's nothing you can do about it.
