On Divit Island...Love Over Forgiveness

Chapter Ten

      Polen had rented a small room for the night in the villa. The only place that offered any accommodations on the almost deserted island of Antikythera. It was just for one night so she was sure she could endure anything for that long.

      The trip to Divit Island had been invigorating, but also, it had made her even more determined to take back what was hers. Her next move would have to be calculated precisely, and discreetly. What is that saying,..." You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar"....She smirked.

      She pulled Can's necklaces from her bag, admiring it as if it was a strand of highly cut diamonds.  She remembered this necklace, so when she saw it lying on the dresser in their bedroom, well,.. she just had to have it. Can had found this stone on one of his trips to the mountains. He had it strung on this braided leather rope when he returned to London after that trip. 

       She remembered it as if it were yesterday. She relived that time as she did each and every time that he visited her in London. She remembered them all, they were the thoughts that kept her going. 

      Polen held up the necklace letting it dangle in front of her. " I will keep this one my love. For old times sake." She whispered...as she closed her eyes as if she were making a wish. 

      Now that she knew where they lived and what she had to do to get there, her next visit would be a lot easier.  She was already making her plans to return, but the next visit she would make sure they were home when she arrived.

      She snuggled down in bed, completely content with how the day had gone. Just holding Can's necklace in her hands would be enough for now, but she wasn't going to stop until she was holding him once again. 

      The ferry would leave Antikythera early the next morning for the trip to Kythera, and from there she would catch a flight to Athens. She would need to get to sleep early, the trip back to Istanbul would be a long one, she thought as she drifted off to sleep, caressing his necklace against her chest.

      The water was cold at first as he walked out into the sea, but it warmed quickly as he ventured out further into the water. The sun was just edging it's way up above the horizon of the water, spreading out those streaks of amber light across the aquamarine colored water. Can walked out about waist-deep before he dived in. This was his most favorite time of the day, the time that rejuvenated him.

      He had swam out a ways before turning and heading back toward the shore. His mind was still thinking about home, and why he had such a desire to get back there. He stopped about 50 yards out, flipped over on his back and just floated there, wishing that he was in the water that surrounded his Island. He closed his eyes, " You're being stupid, what could be wrong at home?....nothing." Can said out loud, talking to himself. He flipped over quickly and swam back in the direction of the beach.

      When Sanem turned over to hug up to her husband and he wasn't there, she knew actually where he was. She wrapped her robe around her naked body, tieing it securely with the belt, grabbed a towel and headed out to the beach.

      She watched him as he glided his way thought the water like a fish, so strong and agile. She always worried about him swimming out that far all alone, but at just that moment he turned and started back toward the shore. Then for some reason he stopped and turned, beginning to float. Was there something wrong, she wondered, as she strained her eyes to see him in the distance. Her heart was starting to race and a wave of panic traveled down her body as she watched him. Then he turned again and swam on toward the beach.

      She breathed deeply, a sigh of relief, watching him as he got closer to the beach. " Good morning my love. How was your swim." Sanem called out to him as he rose up out of the water, smoothing back his long hair as he walked toward her. 

       "Good morning babe. It was great, do you want to take a dip?" He asked, leaning in to give her a kiss. She giggled, " Not now, but maybe later." Sanem answered, letting her robe fall open just slightly to reveal her nude body underneath.

      Can hadn't missed the subtle sign from his wife. He reached for her, pulling her close against his wet body. " Did you have skinny dipping in mind my love, because if you did I would be more than glad to join you." He grumbled under his breath, boldly sliding his hand in the opening of her robe.

      Sanem felt her heart jump and she sucked in her breath as he ran his hand around her body, down her back and over the fullness of her hips, pulling her forcefully against his wet body. His breath was short and labored as he leaned  in to kiss that special spot on her neck.

      " Babe, let's take up where we left off last night." Can whispered in her ear as he massaged her bottom, pulling her tighter to his body. Sanem wanted nothing more, as she felt his erection growing through his wet swim trunks, nudging gently against her bare skin.

      If only we were home, she thought. Home on their private island where there wasn't that fear of someone watching them. She leaned back, " Can there are other people here, let's not get carried away." She said, shifting her eyes from side to side, scoping out the beach for the other guests. Can smiled, " There's no one else here my love. The beach is deserted. So relax." He mumbled, continuing the assault on his wife.

      Sanem sighed, feeling her body begin to give in, as he laid her down easily on the sand.  Her body had began to react with his, as he moved his hand miraculously over those defined areas of her body that made her want him even more. Her mind had blocked out everything else but him, the thought of someone else coming along, the thought of the Tana coming out and finding them in this most precarious situation, all of those things disappeared from her thoughts. All she wanted was him, her husband..

      In what seemed like only seconds, Can had brought her whole body to a fit of frenzy. Quite unlike her to throw such caution to the wind, especially in an open area like this, but there were times that she had no will to resist. 

      This was one of those times where things started, then escalated into the hightest form of ecstasy before they even knew it. With both of them reaching that point of jubilant release at the same time, this savage encounter was over in mere minutes, leaving them both breathless and thoughtless.

      Can rested there on top of her for a second just catching his breath, before he slide gently over to her side. Sanem was breathing heavily, trying to catch her breath as well. Can reached over, pulling her robe together protectively covering her body. " My love, that was beautiful. I am sorry that it was over so quickly." Can whispered as he leaned over giving her a full open mouth kiss, accompanied by his tongue.

      The whole event was over and done in minutes, but never had she felt so much like a woman.  Her husband always had that effect in her, but just the fact that she could still bring him so much satisfaction so quickly and so fully made her feel special.

      She wrapped her arms around his neck, not willing to let him go. " I love you my husband, more and more each day. May we never lose these feelings for each other." She recited breathlessly, as if she were repeating their vows.

      That spell of their undying love was broken as the voice of their daughter rang out across the beach, " Mommie, daddy, I'm ready for breakfast. What are you doing.

      Can smiled at his wife, " Never my love, you will never get rid of me....I am yours, heart, body and soul." He recited. Then he jumped up, reaching down to give Sanem a hand up, " We are coming Tana." He called out to his daughter, jogging through the sand to their cottage.

      Sanem watched him with such adoration as he scooped up their daughter in his arms.....He was so much more than just her lover,...he was the person that had given her this wonderful life...
