Closer Heartbeat Novels & Stories

Faint, rapid, but unmistakably present. My blood went cold as I realized what I was hearing. Two heartbeats. Coming from my mate's body. I shifted position carefully, not wanting to wake her, and pressed my ear closer to her chest. Claire's heart beat with the strong, steady rhythm I'd grown accustomed to over months of sleeping beside her. But underneath that familiar sound, almost masked by her own circulation, was something smaller. Faster. Different. My hands trembled as I moved lower, following the source of that second heartbeat with supernatural focus that blocked out every other sound in the room. When I reached Claire's abdomen, the truth hit me like a physical blow.

My heart is beating with its maximum pace and it's feel like my heart is going to explode in any moment. He came closer to me decreasing distance between us. He is only few inches away from me. I lowered my head and looked down. He make me turn by my shoulders to face him and lifted my chin with his forefinger. My heart beat increased rapidly ready to come out from my chest and my face is all beetroot red due to the blush. There is silence around of us that I can hear his heart beat too. His heart is also beating faster like mine. He moved his hand from my shoulder to my arms and put his both hands on my waist and pulled me closer to him by my waist that our foreheads are almost touched.

“I think you, out of everyone in the world, need one person who can show you how to love again.” “And you think your cousin could do that for me?” she asked as she watched him as he thought about her question. The simple question was more than he had thought it would be. He knew it was two-sided at best. “I think my cousin could help you. I don’t know if it would be the key or not. I do think that he would help open your heart again in a way I don’t think anyone else can. You had someone like him before, so you understand.” Garrett said. “He is alone now. He needs help in life and people to love him back. For you, it may help both of you.”

She asked him in a small voice. “Take all the time you need. Just remember that my heart only beats for you.” He kissed her forehead.

he screamed. Hopelessness washed over me as I watched the tip of the blade get closer and closer. I squeezed my eyes shut, but the pain that I expected to feel never came. I opened my eyes, only to see James shielding me. The knife had pierced his heart through his back, and blood leaked endlessly from his lips. "I'm… filled with so much regret… Katherine. If I had… cherished you… perhaps we… could have grown old… together…" He reached out a hand, wanting to caress my cheek, but in the end, it fell bonelessly to his side before it reached me.

Swiftly flicking his cigarette, he forcefully turned the steering wheel in the opposite direction, causing the car to spin in circles around the girl. On the other side, Hiya, with her heart pounding, witnessed a black Mercedes approaching rapidly. Overwhelmed with fear, she clasped her hands over her ears and shut her eyes tightly, anticipating an imminent tragedy. In that moment, she believed it was her last day in this world, facing an inevitable and untimely demise.

It feels like death, just the same as bereavement and in quiet moments, it chokes my breath. Only Marvis whom I loved so much could be my assassin. It takes an inside job to attack one so resilient to emotional injury. That is my heartbreak. My heart has been shattered to millions of pieces that I don't even know how to pick and gather them so I can mend it.

"How can I stay away from you when you're bound and etched in my heart. I can't live well anymore without you. I need you Carina. I miss you so much. I'm losing my mind Carina, please just give me a second chance to make things right between us." He's so close to me that I can feel his heartbeat. I should move away from him or I won't be able to control myself around. I tried moving back and slipped. Luckily he was there to catch me before I fell. He pulled me up and I landed on his chest. He held me close that I felt so much comfort I didn't want to let go. "Drake please... Just let me go. We can't be together anymore." I said and pulled away.

Or so I deemed him to be. “You’re the burberry guy performing at the music festival five years ago, aren’t you? Why do you sound so different?” “Aren’t you supposed to practice on your own sound?” He rolls his eyes at me. “Stop paying attention to anything and focus, will you?” I sigh deeply and pick the other stick up, “Fine.” I glower on my feet. He started counting on cue and strummed his guitar strings. The first four beats went fine. We harmonized our sound, and I actually felt happy for a second before everything started to went downhill from the second four beats.

He grabbed the necklace from the floor. "I think you should have this," He added. "But-" "It looks like it would seem good on you" he smiled and leaned closer. Unhooking the necklace, he hung it around my neck and leaned even closer so he could see behind me. His breath hitting against my neck had me shuddering. He slowly pulled back, so that we were practically leaning into each other. I watched his eyes fall to my lip and they darkened. I took in my bottom lip as I watched him move closer, my lips parted slightly unconsciously when his lips were just an inch away from mine.
