Chapter 21: The Night After
He unzipped my black dress in the bedroom with the wine from the horn still drying on the front of it.
The house was quiet around us.
Natia had gone home, and the driver had gone, and we were alone with three lamps and my shaking hands.
"You're trembling," Levan said.
"I just told two hundred people what my brother did," I said.
"I know. I was there," he said.
"I'm not sorry," I said. "I'm shaking."
"Sit," he said.
I sat on the edge of the bed, and he knelt on the rug in front of me.
He lifted my left foot out of its shoe and held it in both hands.
He kissed the arch of it, once, and then the ankle bone.
"You stood for an hour in these," he said.
"I'd have stood all night."
"I know you would have."
He kissed the inside of my calf, slowly, and the soft place behind my knee, and I laughed in a thin shaking breath.
He kissed his way up my thigh, and the black dress slid higher with his hands.
At the top of it he stopped.
He looked up at me from between my knees.
"What do you see?" I asked.
"A woman who stood up," he said. "Your face is flushed, and your eyes are bright, and there's a streak of red wine across your collarbone. Your mouth is still open."
"I'm out of breath."
"I know. I was watching you breathe."
He eased the dress off my shoulders and over my belly and down to the floor.
I sat in my slip and my stockings with my stomach bare and round between us.
He put both hands over it.
He pressed his lips to the high curve of it, and then lower, where the skin was tight and warm.
"Hello, you," he said. "Your mother made the whole hall cry."
"She did not," I said.
"Natia cried. I cried," he said.
"You did not," I said.
"I did. You didn't see," he said.
I put my fingers in his hair, and tears came to my own eyes, and I let them.
"Take your clothes off," I said. "I want you against me."
He stood and undressed, and I watched.
