Chapter 17
After lunch they went for a walk around the neighborhood. Previously Lena had been briefly in Brooklyn Heights only in passing and the neighborhood of high historical value was professionally interesting for her as an architect. It was raining at times and the proximity to the sea brought gusts of cold wind. At one point the woman approached her mouth to Federico's ear and whispered.
"Let's go back to your house. I want to go to bed with you and ask you to rub me and warm my body. I want you to kiss and caress my whole body.”
They had spent three hours in bed, and both were exhausted and satisfied. Still naked, Lena sat down leaning against the head of the old bed, suggesting that she wanted to talk. The woman was exultant in the middle of an afternoon that had filled her expectations and fantasies. Some of the boy's caresses had brought to her memory the evenings with Tiziana, whom she frequently missed.
