Blinked again.
My brain stalled like a broken wagon wheel. His words echoed in my skull like a drum, heating my face until it felt like steam might burst out of my ears.

My knees wobbled, my heart felt like it wanted to break out of my ribs, and I pointed a trembling finger at him. "Y-You—you can't just—say things like that so shamelessly!"
He tilted his head, blue eyes smoldering with amusement, as if my panic was the funniest thing in the world.
"You—!" I grabbed the nearest pillow and hugged it to my chest like a shield, fanning my burning cheeks with my free hand. "That wasn't flirting—that was filthy! Do you even realize how bold you sound?"
