His Heart Still Beats For Me Novels & Stories

"And I’m yours." The room erupted into cheers, but all I heard was the steady, unshakable beat of his heart—and mine, answering in kind.

My heart skipped a beat, my tears moist right then. I dropped to a crouch and held him, pressing my ear against his chest again. I could hear his heartbeat, thumping powerfully through his thin shirt. It was such a familiar sensation. It was Stan's heartbeat. As I closed my eyes, my tears flowed ever so quietly. We stayed like that for a while, and as I wiped my tears, I held Nathan firmly in my arms once more. "Please live a good life with Stan's heart." - Nathan walked with me to the gates of the orphanage, but I never once turned to look at him again.

Kendrick smiled with his bloodshot eyes, looking just like the teenager who used to sneak glances at me from the back of the classroom all those years ago. He leaned in and kissed my lips, saying, "I'll be the one to find and love you first in our next life, Jasmine." I faded into glowing fragments of light, taking a final look at the man I had loved my entire life. I knew that inside his chest, the heart that once belonged to me was still beating strongly and steadily.

"I thought I had lost you, I thought I would never see you again." "I would never leave you again." "Do you promise?" "Yes," I say weakly. "Why?" "Because I am yours, because I belong to you, because I am your heartbeat." I understand. I finally understand what he has been trying to explain to me. He is my heartbeat; I have never truly lived until he found me. He makes my life make so much sense, he is ready to protect me, kill for me, and die for me because, without me, his life makes no sense.

“Breathe, Sweetheart! You got this, I believe in you” I hide my face into his chest listening to his heart beats. Everyday that goes by I find myself more and more in love with him.

Lucas grabs her arm as soon as she drags her heavy feet. She sniffles turning around to gaze at the hook pulling her backward. Her eyes were filled with tears, she couldn't turn around to look him in the eye. Her lips quake. “I tried….I tried to let go but….m…. my past keeps haunting me. I can't be heartsease after discovering that pervert is euphoric after inflicting my whole existence.”

His heart was thumping rapidly inside his chest and for some reason Little Bee developed nostalgia over it. The man held her in his arms and spoke in an especially mellow tone, “I won’t let anything ever hurt you; you won’t regret trusting me.” Little Bee had no idea what got into him all of a sudden and neither was she paying attention to words; she buried her ears deeper into his chest and listened attentively to his beating heart. His heart went like ba- dump, ba- dump, ba- dump and ba- dump.

He said and made a pause, during which he studied my expression. “My father said that if one’s heart beats for someone, that person should be willing to do anything to be with the other even if the world is against them.” He told me and then took up my hands in his and looked back at my face. “And that made me realize how intensely my heart has always been beating for you.” He added and I grew a gentle smile.

For a split second, I could have sworn I saw his lips stretch with his lopsided smirk, but when I blinked, it was gone. “Vincent, can you hear me?” I asked, sitting up expectantly. No reaction. “My baby, no matter what happens, I will always love you, and I’ll always fight for us,” I promised fervently, feeling my heart swell with inhuman courage and renewed determination, as my eyes filled up with unshed tears.

I can’t help but smile at his response and I hear him say, “You know, I’ve pictured this moment a thousand times, but I never thought it’d be that great.” I feel my cheeks heat from his sweet words and he chuckles and I lean against his chest, enjoying the vibration that comes from his chest and once he stops laughing, I enjoy the steady beat of his heart. The heart that isn’t supposed to be mine, but I want it to be. I want this heart to beat for me and me alone and I know I will have to move past this. Tears sting my eyes, but Kodi chastises me, "Enjoy right now! Don’t think of that."
