Sounds of Silence

I'm used to the quiet now. Silence blankets the room like a shroud. The only thing I can hear is my own heartbeat. For a moment I think I'm alone, but then the bed shifts under his weight, reminding me he’s still here.

Sighing, I crawl across the silk sheets until I'm lying on his chest. My ear is directly above his heart, and yet I can hear no sound. There is no rise and fall; just muscles moving while he sleeps. He's dreaming of the past again, I can always tell. I know he’s dreaming of whom he lost.

Lovely line, espeically considering what the final one is. And yes, a vampire really would be silent when asleep. Actually kinda eerie, a feeling very nicely captured here. Well done! :)

Beautiful, and sly, letting us fill in our own pairing. Sensual and lovely.

This creeps me out a little. Lying next to someone whom you really can't detect until he moves. *shivers*
