caressingly
In gentle strokes
Caressingly means in a gentle, affectionate manner suggestive of a caress—soft, tender, loving.
The word applies to touch but also to voices, glances, or movements: She spoke caressingly, her voice barely above a whisper.
The breeze moved caressingly through the curtains.
