when you can feel her heartbeat thumping faster and harder under your fingers with every flick and lick to her nips

when they hug or spoon you from behind, and you can feel their heartbeat against your back

when you’re kissing so close, you can’t tell apart their pounding heart from yours

your heartbeat reacting to their heartbeat reacting to yours

when your hearts are pounding so hard, you can hear each other without an ear steth

the thought that an intangible idea can make your physical heart race

when you lean in to kiss them, hand over their chest, and their heart starts immediately thumping against your hand

when you know they’re so close because of how hard their heart is pounding underneath your hand

when their heart starts pumping so hard, each exhale comes out as a shudder.
