Pressed up against him, I can feel the thud of his heart against mine, his ribcase expanding and contracting rapidly against my chest, the warm whisper of his breath tickling the side of my neck, the brush of his leg against my thigh.

Simple. I got very bored and depressed, so I went and plugged myself in to its external computer feed.
