Love bites are the strangest thing. One minute you are petting and cuddling with your cat, he is enjoying himself, purring up a storm and then all of the sudden he bites your hand. What just happened?
This was not an angry bite, don't worry. He simply got a little bit ahead of himself and over excited. The bite was his way or releasing that tension. Usually those so-called "love bites" don't break skin or even hurt, but should your cat's love turns out to be painful for you, the best thing you can do is to completely ignore him. Do not even look at him, walk by him and do not fall for his begging for attention. Give him treats when he is calm and refuse to pet him when he attempts to nibble on you again.
