I could hear the beat of her heart against my ear.

I sat there with the phone against my ear for almost ten minutes before she came back on the line.

I had to force myself to keep my mouth against his ear.

Holding the phone tight against his ear for a long while.

It took two hands to hold the phone steady against his ear.

He leaned over and put his mouth against her ear.

He picked up the phone and placed it against his ear.

He got up on one elbow and put it against his ear.

Getting level with him, I leaned across until my mouth was against his left ear.

And stood, phone in hand, still pressed against her ear, to move closer to the window.
