“So let’s start carving our own path
One day it will become a road
And we’ll drive down to the countryside”
"Love Is Beginning” by Imaginary Future is the song for this chapter. I like that it is so upbeat, and it really helped me picture them in this scene. Their love isn’t beginning, but they are starting a new phase, so I think it fits.
-Her-
She had her right hand hanging out the open window and the wind that whipped in made her hair swirl around her shoulders. She had never been this incandescently happy in her whole life. The love of her life was driving her home after stealing her away on a romantic weekend getaway in which they had sex for the first time. They had sex many times after that too, and each time was better than the last.
She hadn’t given sex much thought before she met Can. She thought she would either live at her parent’s house and work at her father’s store the rest of her life and never marry, or she would get stuck with the first man that asked for her hand and be forced to clean his house and have his children. She’d always had a lot of romantic daydreams, but they didn’t turn sexual until after she met him. Suddenly the memory of being on the beach in Agva almost exactly one year ago came to her. Then she thought he was a bad man, but her brain insisted on showing him coming to her in the water, shirt plastered to carved abs, his hand touching her lips. That was the first time she considered that sex might be fun, instead of just a function of marriage.
To be honest, she never even entertained the thought of having sex before marriage until recently. Now that she had shared that part of herself with the person she loved most in the world, she couldn’t see how anyone could call it a sin. She wanted to get married and live with him and do things “properly”, but that would come in time. Their love was new and vibrant, and it would be a shame to waste this time.
“What are you thinking about my love?”
She turned toward him. He couldn’t look at her because he was driving, so she took the opportunity to stare. He was magnificent in his tight, short sleeved Henley. The sun was shining on his cheekbones and she could see some of his chest hair peaking out the top of his shirt. She was becoming obsessed with the veins and tendons in his neck and how they connected to his clavicles and spread out on his broad chest. He was the most beautiful man she had ever seen.
“You.”
She could see a smirk creep up under his beard.
“Of course. What else?”
Now it was her turn to smirk. “I was thinking about our trip here a year ago. How I thought you were a bad person then, but I still couldn’t help but fall for you.”
He looked at her quickly and put his big hand on her thigh. “You know that’s when I fell in love with you, right?”
She put her hand over his on her leg. “You did?” he’d never told her exactly when he fell in love before.
“I don’t think I fully realized it at the time, but looking back that’s when I knew.”
“That’s so sweet, canim.” he was the cutest man.
“You know that’s why I planned this trip to Agva? It was kind of like our anniversary. To me anyway.”
She leaned all the way over to kiss his cheek. “I love you Can.”
He looked really pleased with himself, but she supposed he earned it. “Do you want to rest for a while baby? I know I didn’t let you sleep much last night.”
She swatted him on the arm for his cheeky comment, but smiled regardless. “I think I will.”
After a few minutes of shifting around to find a comfy spot she huffed in frustration.
“Here.” he put a hand on her knee and pulled. “Take your shoes off and put your feet in my lap. Can you stretch out with your seatbelt still fastened?"
“Yes.” she toed off her white sneakers and set both ankles on his thigh.
She wouldn’t dream of taking off her seatbelt. He’d have a fit. He was protective to a fault.
“Sweet dreams, bebek.” he had one hand on the wheel and used the other to rub the top of her foot.
He knew exactly what he was doing to her. She would have sweet dreams, sweet and sexy and all about him.
