Each breath burned as he drew it through the constriction at his neck.

Each breath burned all the way down into his lungs.

Her breaths burned as she dragged them in through her open mouth.

His breath burned through the fabric of her bodice.

Her breath burned in her lungs as she struggled to support him.

Thakur felt the breath burn in his chest as he panted.

Cop's breath burned hot with desperation against the back of his neck.
