blink into my neck

Is it correct to say 'blink in neck'?

She had placed her head on my shoulder. I could feel her blink into my neck.

Thanks

"Blink in neck," definitely not. "Blink into my neck," probably not. First of all, since the eye sockets are recessed, I'm not sure this is really possible.

"Blink into my neck," probably not. First of all, since the eye sockets are recessed, I'm not sure this is really possible. Secondly, "into" often has the connotation of "within": "She fell into my arms." This isn't universal (consider "She ran into me.") But blinking into necks is too unusual to work. How about

I could feel her eyelash
