“It was very frightening,” Largo said. “You scared everybody.”

Remy patted his cheek. “You don’t have to worry about me, silly boy. I’m not going anywhere.” Before he could say anything, she looked down at herself and then at Largo. “Why are we still dressed?”

“I told you. You were sick. Dr. Venohr and I put you straight to bed.”

She tilted her head and looked at him. “I don’t mean why are we dressed. I mean why aren’t we undressed?” Remy pulled her dress off and threw it on the chair. Naked, she began to unbuckle Largo’s belt as he quickly unbuttoned his shirt. He barely got it off in time. Remy tugged his pants down over his thighs and climbed on top of him, guiding his cock inside her. Together, they rocked and thrust and scratched each other’s bodies. Largo was amazed that this was the same woman he’d carried home comatose the night before. However fragile she’d seemed then, that was all gone now. This was the Remy he knew. His Remy. And she dug her nails into his chest as she made a few last violent thrusts down onto him before holding still and squeezing him with her thighs. He laughed. Her strong, athletic body held him in place. He couldn’t have moved if he’d wanted to. Finally, Remy relaxed and fell heavily on top of him.

Still breathing hard, he said, “Well, that was unexpected.”

“Because I’m such a delicate flower?” said Remy.

“Because you were as dead-eyed as one of your theater dolls last night.”

“I trust I’ve convinced you that I’m not about to collapse like an old hausfrau or deflate like a balloon?”

“I pronounce you fit enough to fight an ox.”

She kissed him just as the bell in the Triumphal Square rang the half hour. Largo sat up and looked at the little clock on Remy’s bedside table.

“Shit,” he said. “I have to get to work.”

Remy rolled off him reluctantly and said in a joking whine, “I want to prove to you how well I am again. Can’t you be just a little late?”

“I’m sorry. I can’t. Herr Branca promoted me to chief courier, and he can take the promotion away just as easily.”
