For @fantasiesoftheheart inspired by your head in lap stething idea.
You sit on the sofa, slightly out of breath from rushing to the living room to nab your favourite part of the sofa before your love gets to it. He'd chased you down the hallway the second you'd suggested watching your favourite show, and you were determined this time you wouldn't let him take over your favourite spot.
It was a fun game you both played, for as long as you'd been living together.
You'd just spent the day out together hiking, so some relaxation time was in order anyway.
You plonked down on the sofa and smugly laughed in his direction.
"Not fair... Dammit. I almost had you!" he laughs, also out of breath and panting as he flopped down next to you heavily.
"snooze you loose!" you tease.
He narrows his eyes at you playfully and then turns his back on you, shifting his body and bringing his head down to rest in your lap.
"Nope." he says. "Now I win!"
You glance down at him and roll your eyes, smiling at his silliness. You run one hand through his hair and his eyes close momentarily at your touch.
You just watch him. His neck exposed and beads of sweat slightly appearing on his face from the heat, his chest rising and falling, slightly quicker than usual with each breath. His gorgeous face now adorned with a smirk.
Wait. What was he smirking at?
Before you could ask out loud. He brings his hand to his chest, keeping it there for a few seconds and then to his neck, clearly taking his pulse. He frowns, as if concerned and looks at you.
Your heart gives a slight jump, and he takes your hand. "My heart is absolutely pounding...." he says, sounding concerned.
He puts your hand directly over it, pushing your palm flat against his sternum to emphasise what he just said.
You'd only recently "came out" to him about your fetish. You'd told him to be upfront about it and because him, being your first serious partner in a long time, deserves to know. You were so nervous you had to sink a few drinks beforehand, but he said he was totally cool with it and found it kinda interesting.
Since then, sometimes he's made the odd comment in public about how his heart is racing, or simply placed your hand there when he kissed you, but in this situation... You were alone.
You gulp, feeling his pounding heart beneath your palm, already feeling turned on.
"It's going kinda fast, huh?" he asks, his concern faltering and the smirk back on his face, more mischevious this time.
You take a breath, trying to think of a response, when he grabs your hand once more and moves it up, underneath his tshirt, against his bare chest. You breathe in sharply. Who'd have thought a tshirt would make such a huge difference. You could feel it so much better now, and he knew you could.
"uh..." was all you could manage to say. He had no idea the effect this was having on you. You were so fixated on his heartbeat that you forgot to answer him.
He looks at you questioningly, his other hand moving to take his own pulse once again. "hmmmm..." he hummed, a smile forming on the edge of his lips.
He sits up quickly, your hand still over his heart, and looks into your eyes. "I've got an idea...." he whispers, biting his lip slightly.
He leans in closer and tucks your hair behind your ear. "Why don't you go get that stethoscope you said you own..." he whispers "and you can take a listen?"
You could swear you felt his heart speed up under your fingertips as he said this. Your own speeding up to match it. You breathe in, swallowing hard and nod. Your mind had completely gone to fog and your ability to speak seemingly gone forever. He plants a kiss on your lips, lingering for a moment, sensing your nervousness, his heart giving a hard thump from the kiss, but also as if in encouragement.
You get up and leave the room to go get it, your littmann you always kept in your nightstand since you told him. You hadn't used it on him yet, this would be the first time.
You take a moment to allow your brain to process what is happening. The love of your life, sat on your sofa, is asking you to steth him. You roll your eyes at your nervousness and try to slow your breathing down before going back in there.
As you head back into the living room, he's now sat up and shirtless, the sight of his bare chest causes your heart to accelerate once more. Dammit.
You notice he's holding something but sets it down on the floor. He looks at the stethoscope in your hands and smiles. "So...this is your toy, huh?" he reaches out for it.
"Sure is..." you manage to say. Why are words failing you right now?! Get a grip!
You hand it to him and he looks at it, as you sit back down on the sofa. He twirls it around in his big hands, and suddenly you're aware of what is about to happen. You glance at his bare torso, not quite believing this guy is willing to indulge in your fetish so much.
If you're not mistaken you see a slight nervousness on his face, as his jaw clenches while he swallows and he breathes in heavily through his nose.
"Well..." he hands it back to you, and shifts to lay with his head on your lap once more.
"Go ahead... I'd be interested to know how it sounds"
You stare at him and put the earpieces in, taking in the sight before you. His toned chest and stomach just a perfect sight, skin soft yet firm, the small patch of chest hair between his pecs slightly damp from sweat, which he seems to be slightly glazed with, despite removing his tshirt.
He looks up at you with those stunning eyes, the naughty smirk gone from his face but replaced with a look of slight vulnerability and a hint of nervousness.
You take a breath before bringing the diaphragm of the stethscope to his chest, making contact and feeling him flinch slightly.
The sound of his loud heartbeat fills your ears, elevated and getting slightly faster. You take in the sound, so loud, so powerful, so incredible.
You move the stethoscope to his mitral region, hearing the increase in his heart once more. You look at him. He's still looking at you. Your eyes meet and he smiles nervously.
"I've never done this..." he says, still looking directly into your eyes. "But... Its hard to describe what I'm feeling right now..." he chuckles slightly. You hear his heart react.
"... Try. Trust me, no judgement here." you let out a slight laugh, nodding towards the stethoscope.
"For some reason... nervous. For some reason... turned on. For some reason... closer to you..." he says, maintaining eye contact.
You smile. Moving the diaphragm back up his chest, to his left pec this time. His heart beating faster once again.
"Tell me..." he breathes. "When you move it around... What is that for? Like, what are you listening for?"
You just love his curiosity, and by asking you to explain those things, you feel your own nervousness dissappear slightly.
"Well..." you clear your throat.
"Different areas have different sounds...and in the medical profession it helps doctors detect any issues that may be underlying..."
He relaxes too "I see..." he says. "... And what are you listening for?"
You inhale. "I...have a vague idea of how this works, but I'm no doctor... I just like the way your heart sounds."
You hear his heart skip. You look at him. "You can be my doctor any day..." he bites his lip suggestively. "And how does it sound?"
He moves his hands up behind his head, clearly more relaxed about the whole thing, even if his heart is still slightly faster than usual. His chest is stretched up and more exposed now due to this, and it's your turn to bite your lip at just how downright sexy he looks.
"It sounds... amazing." you begin. "Beautiful. Strong. If a little fast..."
He chuckles and shrugs, as if acknowledging he was aware of this. "I like that you find it beautiful." he smiles.
"It is." you smile back, making eye contact once again.
You run your fingers through his hair once again, moving the stethscope lower on his chest, fingers idly playing with his hair, scratching his scalp. He closes his eyes and you hear a jump in his heart. He breathes out heavily through his nose and his smile grows wider.
"Isn't it funny how our hearts just... react?" he muses.
You tilt your head, questioningly.
His gaze meets yours again. "well, it's the one thing we can't control... God knows I've been trying to keep mine under control since you started listening, but I can feel it giving me away the whole time..." he laughs.
"You can feel it?" you ask, turning the diaphragm of the stethoscope over before clicking the bell into place, and placing it over his mitral region, with a little more force than last time.
"Always..." he looks down at the stethoscope "What are you doing now?"
"Ah, I... Just switched to the bell side, it picks up in lower pitched sounds." you state, listening intently to the sounds you were getting. His heart speeding up again, he was clearly enjoying this.
He raises an eyebrow, breathing in slowly, and looks up at the ceiling. "I know it's racing...as I said, I can feel it."
You were about to ask why, but found yourself once again lost in the sound of his heartbeat. Your nails still scratching his scalp and his heart reacting to your touch.
He looks you in the eyes once again, and you keep his gaze this time. No words needing to be said, just eye contact. His eyes saying a million words to you that his heart can't say, and his heart telling you things words cannot. The longer you gaze into his eyes, the faster his heart seems to be beating.
You move the stethoscope further up again, and leave a finger on his chest to feel his apex beat, his heart reacting once more. He didn't question you this time, instead he took a deep breath once again, trying to calm his heart down, but to no avail.
You smile. "Wow...." you begin... "You should really hear this... Its incredible...."
You begin to take the earpieces out to let him listen, but he interrupts. "It's OK..." he begins, dropping one hand down the side of the sofa to the floor, fumbling around.
"I came prepared..." he presents another stethoscope. Your mind and heart races as he fits the earpieces into his own, and places the diaphragm on his chest, close to where yours is placed.
You shift in your seat. Watching him listening to his own heart and being able to hear what he was hearing was doing things to you that you didn't think possible. You felt your own heart increase in pace too.
He looks at you again and sighs. "I thought it'd be fun to be able to share this... And in all honesty, I think i'm developing a new fetish..."
He takes the diaphragm off his chest and moves it up, underneath your top, placing it directly between your breasts. Your heart jumps at his touch, and starts hammering incredibly fast.
He smiles. "Yeah... I know. This is how I've been feeling since you started doing this." he let's out a small, amused laugh.
You hear his heart increase as a reaction to hearing yours. And so it continues.
You both silently listen for a moment, hearts showing no effort to slow down. Eye contact maintained, letting your hearts do the talking.
"Fuck..." he begins... "this is turning me on so much."
"I get it. I understand. Now... Can you show me how to use this thing properly? I want to hear every sound your heart is gonna make when we take this to the bedroom later."
Your heart races, thumping wildly at his words. And so does his.
