The House Where Love Grows

Chapter Ten

It was later in the evening when Can excused himself and went upstairs to make a call. " Ok but hurry, we will have to tuck the babies in for the night soon, and you know that insist on you doing it." She whispered as he leaned down to give her a kiss on the cheek. He smiled and nodded his  head, " I won't be long, it's about a new client that my Dad  wants us to check out." He told her, as he turned to go upstairs. 

He quickly made it to his office that was at the end of the hallway and closed the door. He wasn't sure how he had held in all that fear and anger from earlier in the day, how he had kept it from showing like a neon sign, how he had hid from her that there was something terribly wrong. He needed to talk to his Dad, he was the only one he trusted with this kind of information. 

He gathered all his thoughts as he sat down to make the call. He didn't even turn on a light, there was just the light from the aquarium that sat across the room. That soft glow of light that shimmered from the water had always seemed so peaceful, so serene as the fish swam around without a care in the world. But tonight there was nothing that seemed peaceful or serene to him as he placed the call..

The phone rang a few times before the sound of his voice came on, " Hello son, how are you." His Dad said. That's all it took to release all that pent up fear inside him, the excruciating pain that was cutting into his heart. There were no words that came from his mouth, " Can, my son what is it, are you ok?" His Das asked, hearing the uneven breathing from the other end of the phone. "Dad, I really need your help." Can said, when he finally got the words to come out. " I don't know what to do,...for the first time in my life, I don't know what to do Dad." He spoke, the words coming out as a whimper. At that moment he couldn't control his feeling any longer, and released the tears that had been caught up inside him since he had been home.

Aziz felt the pain from his son, as he listened. " Can is there something wrong with the children, son get ahold of yourself and tell me what's wrong."  He begged. Can leaned back in the chair, trying to find the words, " Dad, it's about Beni." Can muttered. " What about Beni, is he hurt, do I need to come over. What son....talk to me." The elder Divits voice riveted through the phone. Can took a deep breath, " His biological father has asked for him back, he is protesting the adoption."  Can spoke, gasping as the words stung his heart. 

Aziz sat silent for a second, processing what he had heard. " Can, please calm down, ...tell me how did he find out about him. Wait, ...where has he been all this time?" He asked feeling a raging anger begin to build. Beni was his grandson, and no one was going to take him away. He stiffened and cleared his throat, " Can pull yourself together, get control. Does Sanem know about this?" He asked but he knew the answer. Can would never tell her something like this without having all the facts and a plan of how to handle it. Can moaned and wiped the tears from his face, " No Dad she doesn't know anything, I can't tell her, it will kill her."  He replied, as he acted out the scenario in his head, but quickly dismissed that thought.

Aziz took control, " Ok look, you get yourself together, don't let Sanem see you this way. Lets meet tomorrow and you tell me everything. We will find a way out of this. Son, ....don't worry, you have done everything legally. Try not to be so upset." He said, trying to soothe all of his sons fears. Can tried to do just as his father had said as he ended the call. He wiped his face, removing all the tears and doubt as best he could. 

The door opened suddenly, " Can why are you sitting in the dark, are you still on the phone." Sanem asked as she flipped on the overhead light. The brightness of it made him look away and close his eyes, " No, just got off." He replied, blinking his eyes. "Well come on, the three are ready for bed. And they want their daddy." She said, as she leaned over his chair from behind and slid her hands down his chest. She kissed his cheek, " And I kinda want their daddy too, so let's get everybody tucked in and then...well, I won't say it out loud, but you can use your imagination." She whispered seductively into his ear. 

He grasped her arms, holding on to them tightly. He needed her more than ever at that moment, but he was so afraid she would see the fear in his face. " My imagination you say, well I have a very vivid imagination you know. Are you sure you can handle it?" He asked, pulling her around the chair and down onto his lap. She giggled as he showered her with kisses, starting at her cheeks and traveling oh so daringly down her neck, ready to explore what was beneath her clothing. 

Within seconds the fire had been lit. He pulled her closer and tighter to him, feeling like she was the only one to save him from this pit of anguish that he had fallen into. He wanted to feel her skin next to his, that heat they always generated between them. He tugged at her shirt, pulling it down further and pushing it off her shoulders. His breathing was short and labored as this feeling of desire took him over. Sanem grabbed his arms stopping him, " Can stop, we have to take care of the little ones first, ..are you ok?" She asked, cupping his face in her hands. Can leaned back against the chair, " I'm fine, sorry, I think I got carried away." He said. She leaned forward, resting her forehead against his, " I know, me too. Lets get the kids to bed, ok, ...then we can pick up where we left off." She murmured, grazing his lips with hers, lingering there for an instant, letting her breath spread over his lips.

She could place him so completely under her spell that sometimes he didn't know where he was.  All he knew was, he wanted her, all of her, as he felt that throbbing ache grow more intense between his legs. She smiled, " Take a couple of minutes daddy, before you come into their room." She told him, feeling the beating of his hardness against her leg.

He smiled slightly, " Ok, but I don't think this ones going away very easily, ...not without your help my love.....

She slid from his lap slowly, teasing and tantalizing him with her hands, " Don't worry, I will be more than happy to take care of that for you. But first the kids," 

For one glorious minute Can had forgot about the lawyer......forgot about the documents........

She had taken him away from their problems.......

All he could think about was her......
