Thoughts ran through Misaki’s mind at a hundred miles an hour, her mouth failing her as it dropped open in shock when Ikari placed his hand over hers. His suggestive tone made her skin even hotter than before, visibly turning red from the neck and spreading to her entire face. She was utterly dumbfounded, stuttering unintelligible words. Is he teasing her right now? Whatever it was, it was making her normal body functions go out of control. She underestimated him and this situation, clearly not expecting to turn out this way. 

His following words barely managed to process in her, but she heard something about money. “M-mo-money? I er- I n-no,” she needed to get a hold of herself! She was supposed to deny any suspicion that she was selling herself! Extremely flustered, she tried to clumsily unclasp their fingers. Misaki must look like a complete dork right now, she hasn’t even had a first kiss yet! How did this escalate so quickly?!
