Chapter 10: The Piano

Calvin's POV

She had my belt open before I had finished lighting the lamp.

I am fifty-six years old.

I have buried more than two thousand people, and I have never once lost my place in a sentence.

I lost it then.

"Miss Gervais," I said.

"Naomi," she said.

"Naomi. I had meant to offer you tea."

"Later," she said.

She stood in front of my late wife's piano in the lamplight with her hand flat on my stomach.

She looked at me directly and without apology.

I took her face in my hands and kissed her.

She tasted of cinnamon gum and the rain on her coat.

Her fingers found the buttons of my shirt and went down them one at a time, and I did not stop her.

I had not been undressed by anyone in six years.

My hands shook when I tried to return the favor, and she covered them with hers and set them on her own zipper.

"There," she said. "Slowly. You're good at slowly."

I undressed her on the rug in front of the piano, with the gray cloth over the keys beside us.

She was perfect, and I do not use that word.

When she stood bare in front of me I felt something rise in my chest that was not only desire.

I had thought that part of me was buried with my wife.

She opened her purse and took out a small object, smooth and purple, no longer than my hand.

She laid it on the closed lid of the piano.

"I want you to use that on me," Naomi said.

I looked at it.

"I have not..."

"I know. That's why."

She pulled me down onto the rug with her, and I let her.

She lay back on her elbows and drew her knees up and apart.

"Watch me," she said.

She took the thing and switched it on, and it began to hum.

She pressed it against herself, slowly, and a long breath went out of her and her head tipped back.

I watched.

I could not look away.

I saw her thighs tremble and her stomach tighten, and I saw her whole body begin to rise toward something.

"Show me where," I said, and my voice was not my own.

"Here."

She put the toy in my hand.

I held it against her, as she guided my wrist, and I felt the vibration travel up my fingers.
