The heat doesn't hit at first, the really strong peppers don't work that way. They're that slow, sneaky heat and then suddenly you're all red in the face and sweating and gasping and begging for anything cold to cool your whole body down because you feel on fire.
I can actually hold my spicy heat pretty well, but I don't think there are many out there that can take the full force of a ghost pepper just popped into one's mouth. I bite my tongue, trying to ride out the heat as it builds, but eventually I have to breathe and that just comes out as a choked gasp.
"You," my voice is a croaking thing, but I'm smiling, because it's funny damn it. Even with the pain rising in my mouth, it's damn funny that he got me so good. "You bastard!"
I try to laugh, though it's more of a stuttered cough.
