CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Hannah

December 1951

Outside Cairo, Egypt

Inside the car, hurtling down the highway, they might have been traveling at any speed at all. Hannah had to check the dial between the prongs of the steering wheel to see that Lucien was pushing the Mercedes-Benz to nearly a hundred miles an hour.

Lucien glanced at her and smiled. “Afraid?”

“Just curious. Nothing really frightens me anymore. If I die, I die.”

“But I would rather you didn’t die, sweetheart.”

“Don’t call me that. I’m not your sweetheart.”

Lucien reached in his pocket and drew out a cigarette case. With his thumb he sprang it open and offered the contents to her. She selected a cigarette and stuck it in her mouth while he lit her up, then himself, as he directed the Mercedes-Benz down the strip of asphalt at a hundred miles an hour with one hand on the wheel.

“I have a question for you, Hannah,” he said.

“What’s that?”

“If you’re not my sweetheart, then whose sweetheart are you?”

Hannah turned her head to stare at the fields rushing past, the fertile Nile delta that spun outside the window. She thought of János, bending the Daimler around the hairpin curves of Capri. Her heart choked her. She couldn’t breathe. She reached across the seat and pulled Lucien’s shirt from the waistband of his trousers. He looked at her in shock, then back to the road, then down to her hand, unfastening his trousers. Back to the road while she eased his penis free from the layers of trouser and shirt.

He remained silent as she worked him with her mouth and tongue, except for these little sighs that escaped his lungs, almost of pain. The car roared happily along the road. When his balls tightened, he murmured, Hannah, I’m going to come, and pulled to the shoulder of the road. The car skidded to a stop in the gravel and he slid both hands into her hair and shouted her name.
