Chapter 17: Warm Water
The water in the tub was as hot as I could stand, and I lay back in it against his chest.
It was February, sleeting on the window, and I was twenty-four weeks along.
My belly rose out of the bathwater, round and pink with heat.
Levan sat behind me with his knees up on either side of my hips.
He had lifted my braid out of the water and laid it over my shoulder.
Three lights burned over the mirror, and the white tile threw them back at us.
"I'm going to take the horn at the wedding," I said.
His hands were on my shoulders, and they stopped.
"I'm not asking you to like it," I said. "I'm telling you."
"I heard you."
"Good."
"Say it again," he said, "so I can hear it differently."
"I'm taking the horn, Levan."
His hands began to move again, slowly, down my arms.
He did not answer, and I let him have the quiet, because the quiet had his mouth against my wet hair in it.
"Your skin is red from the heat," he said. "From here to here."
He drew a line with his wet fingertips from my collarbone to the top of my belly.
"The water is making your breasts float," he said. "The tips are dark, and they've come up hard in the cold air."
"Levan," I said.
"I like to see them break the surface. Is that all right?"
"Don't ask me that," I said. "Tell me they're yours."
"They're mine tonight," he said into my ear. "And I'm going to put my hands on them."
He cupped them in the water, one in each palm, and held the weight of them.
His thumbs circled the nipples, slow, again and again, until I arched.
The water slopped over the rim of the tub.
I reached back and found his thigh and dug my nails in.
"Your feet hurt," he said. "I watched you limp up the stairs."
"They always hurt."
"Give me one."
I lifted my left foot out of the water and he took it in both hands.
He pressed his thumbs into the arch and dragged them back toward the heel.
I moaned out loud.
"That is the worst noise I have ever heard," he said, "and I want it every night."
