All that time, she heard absolutely nothing, and finally expelled her breath in a rush.

Now it was she who expelled breath, softly, between her teeth.

Then she heard the hiss of his breath expelled in wonder.

Then something broke within him, and he expelled his breath forcefully.

The hands forced his jaws open; the mouth expelled breath into him.

They all could hear the breath momentarily being expelled from her lungs.

Her head sank to the floor as she expelled one long last rattling breath.

Once and then again, each dragon expelled his powerful breath.

The girl expelled her breath and caught it again.

There was an intake of breath, expelled on soft laughter.
