While My Heart Is Still Beating Novels & Stories

Waiting. My heart is pounding; I swear it’s so loud that the sound of it is echoing through the forest around me. Is it starting to beat even louder, even faster? No- that’s not my heart. It’s the drumming of hundreds of paws against the earth, the sound building as they draw closer. Ready or not…

I answer, unsure. “You’re not even aware?” I scratch my head in embarrassment, and he sighed in response. “You’re too conscious of what’s around you. You’re not paying attention to your own sound at all, idiot.” Idiot? “Here. Let’s try again, only up to here.” He points at the first rest of the arrangement. “This time, don’t listen to anything else besides your own. Okay? One, two, three–” We started playing one more time. I was so scared when we synced at the first measurement, but I tried as hard as I could to listen only to my sound. I didn’t even look up. I was just staring down on the drums after we reached the first rest.

Piercing, dark, locked right on mine. My heart stuttered, like it had forgotten how to beat. A rush of fear filled my head, drowning everything else out.

My heart beats a thousand per second, but it's because I'm still somewhat young and inexperienced. Why does he play with me, not caring how I feel? Does he only think about his selfish heart?

KIVA I stared up at him, unable to look away. "The only reason I didn't completely lose my goddamn mind when everything started falling apart…" He tapped his chest once, right over his heart. "Was you." Another tap. "This." His voice broke on the last word. "This thing only beats for you." I placed my hand over his where it rested against his chest. "Only you." He pressed my hand harder against him. "You give it life." I could feel his heartbeat beneath my palm, strong and fast and unmistakably alive. My eyes filled completely, spilling over.

Frost My heart is beating toohard. It should be painful, but somehow, it’s not. I feel like it’s trying to crack my ribs open so that it can get closer to Amora, but I already know that even if it could, it still wouldn’t be close enough.

Slowly, I move my hand to my chest, and they both beat in the same rhythm. Thump. Thump. Thump. They beat the same way, with the same sync and rhythm, and it finally dawns on me. Her heart beats for me. And me alone.

“All of that is going to wait...however nothing is stopping me from giving you a taste of the pleasure that is to come” Her heart was beating rapidly in her chest.

“ Stop right there you b****.’ The Beating of my heart doesn't seem to go back to normal. I am paralyzed with fear. I have never done something like this. Not even with Brian. I'm never going to get used to standing against a warrior or anyone in particular. I know nothing but to obey and to submit.
