Against her ear, she could hear the steady beating of his heart.

To his joy he heard its steady beating beneath.

Two geese flew overhead with a steady beating of wings.

A silence dropped upon the chamber, intensified in some odd fashion by the steady beating of the drums.

Beneath her cheek, she could hear the steady beating of his heart.

The steady beating of his heart thrummed against her ear.

But inside, where her heart kept its steady, relentless beating, she ached.

Beneath my palm I felt the warmth of flesh, the steady beating of her heart.

"Center your attention on the steady beating of your heart."
