If You Tell Me To Stay

Chapter 9

Authors note:

So a few things before we get this party started. First off, I have hit that Maturity button. Now we aren't there quite yet. Just know we are leaving the G rating behind. I will gradually be climbing the American ranking system of G, PG, PG-13, and so on. I know some of you out there are going "YAAASSS!" and it makes me smile, but there's still a ways to go before we get to that juicy R rating. Hang in there my thirsty ladies.

And while I have your attention, I am also going to be bringing up some other adult themes. I'm not sure how dark I am going to go yet. Sex between two consensual adults is one thing, but some of these other topics I plan on having in the story... well I'm just not sure yet how I will be at writing them til I get there. I don't think I will go too dark or go into a lot of detail. But like I said, I won't know until I get there. All of these chapters will of course come with a preceding warning (Then you can skip those chapters if you like).

So if any of this sounds like its not for you. Just go ahead and hit the 'back' button at any point. And for those of you who do choose this option but are sooooo hooked and just haaaaave to know Sanem's story (which I hope all of you are), keep following the story updates, and when it's completed- shoot me a message. I'll happily let you know or tell you what chapters to read to put you out of your misery.

Okay, so for those who are continuing on this journey with me! Onto Chapter 9!!!!

Previously:

He laid down next to her and watched her as she fell asleep. She smiled a little and her breathing became slow and relaxed.

'Look at her! How can she be so sexy and innocent at the same time?'

Can thought about earlier this evening. To the thought of someone hurting her and causing her to have nightmares. He wondered how it could possibly be true. 'It's possible I missed something.. Maybe it was something else Leyla and Emre were talking about.. How could anyone hurt this angel? It's obvious she's scared. And the look in her eyes when she woke up. I've seen that look in animals. When they have spotted danger and are just about to bolt. She's running. That much I know. But running from what? An abusive relationship? Please please let me wrong.' He started to get agitated again. So he comforted himself with the thought that no matter what happened in the past, she was safe now. He would be there for her, like he promised. Even if he only promised to himself, he would somehow let her know that she could count on him. He fell asleep soon after with the thought that he would get to wake up with her tomorrow and just how right that felt.

------------------------

Sanem felt a comforting warmth surround her as she woke up. She let her brain play catch up before opening her eyes.

I had a nice dinner with Leyla, Emre, and Can. Emre mentioned the Kimysal trial. Can and I watched TV. I fell asleep and had a nightmare. Can invited me to stay and brought me here. And he stayed with me.

Sanem smiled. And he's still here.

She opened her eyes and saw Can's face right next to hers. He was breathing slowly, still asleep. Bright daylight was filtering into the room from the window, glistening off of Can's blonde highlights. Sanem felt a weight on her and realized it was his arm laying across her waist. She could smell his woodsy scent. He smelled like juniper and sage. Her stomach filled with thousands of butterflies and she felt this pull somewhere she had never felt before. As much as she loved the feeling of him being close to her, this intense physical reaction she was feeling scared her. She needed to get up.
