The House Where Love Grows

Chapter Two

Can felt as if he was standing in front of the judge and about to be sentenced for speaking before thinking. But Luis took it all in stride as he bounded down the stairs, stopping long enough to kiss his mother on the cheek and give her a quick hug. " Ok Mom, see you after practice, remember don't make the other children wait on me for dinner, I will eat when I get home." He spoke. 

Sanem patted him on the cheek and let a slight smile ease across her face, " Ok son, but come straight home after practice."  And with that he hurried quickly out the door to catch the bus. She turned her focus back to Can as he walked slowly down the stairs, not so sure of what he was walking into. " My love, we will talk it over and decide together what will be the best for Luis. I didn't mean to make it sound like we would trick you into agreeing. I know how you feel about those kind of things." By that time he had made it down the stairs and was standing directly in front of her, his large body that towered over her, hovering, smothering her with his presence. She wanted so badly to look away, or to at least still be angry with him, but all she felt was that tingle and that surge of heat working it's way up her body. 

She had no defense when it came to her husband, as he placed his hands on her shoulders and pulled her closer to him. She could feel herself being sucked in, but there was nothing she could do about it but accept it. He smiled, " Come on let's have our tea together in the garden. I have to go soon and I don't want to leave on a sour note."  Sanem nodded as he leaned down and kissed her on the forehead. She knew he was right, he was always right about these things. He always saw the practical and the logical side of things, where she always saw the side that she could view with her heart. The thought of something happening to Luis, Beni or the three babies wasn't anything she wanted to think about....

As they entered the kitchen all four of the children squealed with delight, " Daddy, Daddy, come sit be me." Eve begged, thrusting her arms up towards her father. Can always took the responsibilities of these children in stride, so patient and loving. He reached for her hands as me walked around behind them, giving each one of them a kiss on top of the head. Beni was never left out of this morning ritual of affection from their Dad. He kissed him and then playfully ruffled up his hair. " You all need to finish your breakfast and Beni you need to get ready for school if I'm going to drop you off." He said softly, never raising his voice..

Beni quickly nodded, and went back to the task of finishing his cereal. Sanem had poured their tea as he was having his time with the children, marveling at the way he could always get them to do whatever he said. She smiled as she handed him his tea, " Thank you for taking Beni to school." She whispered as they walked out to the patio. Can shook his head, " No need to thank me, I love doing it. It gives us a little one on one time. Did you know he asked me if he could use one of my old cameras to learn photography? I didn't know he was interested In that, did you." Can asked as they snuggled up together on the lounge chair. 

" Beni wants to learn photography, no I didn't know that. So are you going to let him?" She replied, knowing the answer before she asked. Can smiled that wide and inviting Divit smile, "Of course, I would be happy to teach him. If he is interested enough to ask me about it then he must want it pretty badly." He said feeling that twinge of pride and excitement inside him. He pulled Sanem closer to him, needing to feel her body against his. He never got tired of that feeling, the emotion that it stirred inside, she was the one that made him who he was, and he couldn't love her more. 

It seemed that after the triplets were born there seemed to be such a deep connection between the two of them. Much deeper than before, it was almost eerie at how they were drawn to together. She had never felt stronger than in the past year, it was as if they had become one. She couldn't live without his touch and he couldn't live without touching her.. This was their love, a love that had grown into maturity, a love that had passed the test of time. 

Sanem slid her hand down his chest feeling the tightness of his muscles. His body had always been fit and very physically appealing, but this morning he had unleashed a whole new array of excitement inside her. With just a feel of his skin, she had that deep down need to whisk him away to their bedroom and lock the door.

Can cleared his throat, " Look don't get me wrong, this is all very nice, but if you touch me there one more time I won't be going anywhere and the kids may see more than they ever should." He replied in a whisper. She moaned, "Hmm, please don't threaten me my love. Just let me have my little dream about what could have been this morning." She smiled, giving him a quick peck on the lips as she started to move away. Can caught her arm, " Not so fast there my lady." He spoke, pulling her back against him firmly. " What kind of dream are you talking about, maybe we can make it a reality." He said, his lips only a whisper away from hers. Her breath caught as he touched her lips with his tongue, licking them gently before covering her lips with his. 

That kiss was more than a kiss, it was an open invitation for her to have her way with him. His breathing had changed as he deepened the kiss, making her feel weak and out of control. Can rolled over, covering half of her body with his as the kiss intensified. The whole thing seemed to happen so quickly it took them both by surprise, but neither was ready to break that spell. That was until Beni said, " Hey Dad, what are you doing. I think I'm going to be late for school."  That pretty much broke the spell for sure.

Can jumped back away from Sanem, looking at Beni as he stood there no more than a foot away from the lounge chair. " Huhh, nothing son. Ok, yes ok, I guess we should get going." He stammered and stuttered around trying to get his wits about him. Sanem closed her eyes, refusing to look at him out of sheer embarrassment. Can patted her on the arm as he got up, "Ok Mom, I will see you later, I should be home early today." He mumbled, as he rushed Beni around to the driveway and into his car. He knew his face was red, because it felt like it was fully engulfed in flames, but he didn't look Benis' way, he just drove..

He could feel Beni looking at him, but he didn't return the look...

" Please don't let him ask me about what he saw......please."

He said to himself as he focused his eyes on the road....
