With Forgiveness...Comes Happiness

Chapter Fourteen

" Metin, are you sure, do you think it would help if I talked to Mr. Aubrey myself." Can was desperate to get this settled. Metin had been on the phone with the lawyer from the cosmetic company, trying to iron out the details of the contract. " Can I don't think that's a good idea, it may make it worse. Even though we know the contract was setup to destroy you and the agency they made it a binding and lawful contract." Can was silent, his mind thinking about day he had told Polen he would take the job as a photographer and go to the Balkan Mountains. He had been blindsided by Sanem, just finding out she had agreed to give Fabri her scent, his heart was broken into a million pieces. The words that came out of his mouth that night at the cabin when he accepted the job seemed to be the right think at the time, he never gave himself time to think about it, he just agreed. He knew it would hurt Sanem, him leaving with Polen, that's why he did it, he wanted to hurt her as she had hurt him. The minute he accepted the job, in his heart he knew it was wrong, but it was too late....Polen had won.

Metin questioned him, "Can, do you understand what I'm saying, the only way out is to drop them as a customer, but that means the agency will suffer and the publicity alone may cause you to lose out on other customers. Along with that will come a monetary fine, but that would eliminate the possibility of the company's retailiation." Can cleared his throat, " Metin I will need to discuss something with my Dad and Emre, before we make a statement, but if I leave the company, if I step down as CEO, that would lessen the backlash, right. We could do it more discreetly, maybe the contract wouldn't have to become the issue." Metin thought a minute, " Is that something you want to do, that's a big step to take. Who would take over for you, Emre?" Metin asked, thinking that just might solve the whole problem. " We'll talk tomorrow, ok and thanks for being on my side. I know I can be difficult sometimes." 

He felt like he had solved the worlds problems as he thought about that decision, but how would he explain it to Sanem. He would just tell her the truth, that was the only way. After dinner he and Emre took care of the kitchen while Sanem tried to find out what was wrong with Leila. They watched the stars together, something that they used to do as kids. Sanem asked, " Do you remember going to the coast when we were young and watching the stars just like this. We would try and name each one, then we would lose our place and have to start all over again." Leila laughed, "Yes I do, that's seems like a hundred years ago.....Sanem, I think I may be pregnant and I'm to scared to take the test." Sanem squealed with delight, " Abla, why are you scared, take the test. Did you and Emre not want babies, I thought you did. He will be so happy." She hugged her sister tightly, as the tears of joy welled up in her eyes. A baby, she had never thought of that but it made sense now, all the emotions. Her heart felt a twinge of jealousy but she pushed it away and kissed her sister on the cheek.

Sanem and Can said their good nights to Emre and Leila, making their way to the bedroom. Can know she would be determined to find out what was going on between him and Metin, so for right now he would have to lie to her, but just until he could talk to his Dad and Emre. He hoped his Dad would stay on there to help Emre with the transition to CEO, that was the only way. Can closed the door to the bedroom and turned to face Sanem, standing there with her arms crossed, " Ok, I've waited long enough for you to tell me what's going on, it's time. What are you and Metin discussing so secretly?"  Her eyes showing she meant business. Can stammered at first, trying to find the right words, " Oh...well...its just some contract problems, nothing for you to worry about." She studies his face, " Are you sure, cause it seems like more than that to me." He closed the distance between them, pulling her up against his body, his face breathtakingly close to hers, " My beautiful wife, such things should not be talked about in this room." His lips brushed gently across hers, as his tongue traced the outline of her lips. She gasped as the feeling sent a jolt of electricity thru her body. The heat from his body rose a few degrees as he felt the goosebumps rise to the top of her skin. She felt his hands run over her, finding the zipper of her dress and sliding it down ever so slowly. She surrendered, her body accepting his touch as he let the dress fall revealing this perfect woman. She found his eyes, " Can Divit you're good, " she whispered to him, " You know how to keep from answering my questions." That slight smile came across his face, " No my dear, I just know what's important and what's not." 

He stripped off his t-shirt tossing in the chair, while she unbuttoned his pants pushing them down his muscled legs. He stepped out of them kicking them to the side and moved his body up against hers, letting their skin touch. He guided her backwards to the bed, with his eyes locked with hers, until they reached the bed. He had already reached a peak of desire for her, his insides trembling and begging to have everything he knew she had to offer. She was the only woman that had ever satisfied him, the only one that could grab his heart and make him whole. He let his hands feel her as the passion of his love for her grew. She closed her eyes, arching her back as he sent her into this world of a heated frenzy. He was ready, as he covered her with his body, she whispered his name, "Can, I love you more and more each day, ...I need you." The rest was mind numbing, as they satisfied each other fully and without reservation. His heart had been conquered by this extraordinary woman and he would held captive by for the rest of his life.

Sometime later as they held each other, loving the feel of this love, Sanem's thoughts went to her sister. " Can, have you ever thought about babies, I mean our babies." She felt his body tense a bit, " Sure, haven't you, I mean I just expected to have babies. Are you ready now to start a family." He asked, a little afraid to hear the answer. A family has always been his plan, but right now he wanted to enjoy these times, right here in her arms. She giggled a little, " No, not right now, but have you thought about it, like how many children do you want, how far apart. I know there's not anything we can do about it, but do you want girls or boys." She asked rolling over to look at his face. Her beauty took his breath away, that natural beauty that she didn't even realize she had. 

"Well, I think 2 girls, and they both look just like you, and they would be the apple of my eye." He spoke soft and low. "And 2 boys that look like me, to protect their little sisters of course. 

She smiled, " I'm not sure the world could handle two more men like you".........
