Our Memories......The Second Time Around

Chapter Eight

It was late in the afternoon, Sanem was curled up in a ball, with her her hair spread across the pillow. Her breathing was steady and deep, letting him know she was in a sound sleep. The sight of her aroused him, but he knew they needed to eat and drink something. They hadn't eaten since the the wedding, 18hrs ago. He had fix a tray of fruit and cheese for them, and made tea. He was starved and he knew she had to be. He set the tray on the bed, " Sanem, my love, Sanem, wake up." He whispered in her ear. He let his beard tickle her ear and she swatted at it and shifted around in the bed, moving the sheet, revealing her body. Her skin, bronzed and glowing, made him want to forget about the food and crawl back in bed with her, but he dismissed that thought, and stuck with his original plan. Oh the willpower he was going to need, it would test him, but she needed the rest. He kissed her shoulder, traced his fingers down her arm and circling back up her stomach, they made a stop as he arrived at her breasts. He could see the goosebumps rise on her skin and she moaned his name. That's all it took, the food could wait a while longer, he thought, as he threw back the sheet and rubbed his pulsing body against her, she turned to meet him, searching for him, hungry just for him. 

He woke startled, sat straight up in bed. It was dark out, " What time is it anyway," he tried to think. He was confused, searching the bed for Sanem, he switched on the lamp. His phone said 12:34, " My god, we have slept for hours." He thought.. He saw the light in the bathroom, and then heard the shower. He started to calm down and regain his composure a bit. The water turned off and she entered the room wrapped in a towel, " Well, there you are, my love." She spouted. " I thought you would never wake up."  He smiled, still a bit groggy, " How long have you been up," He asked. " About 2hrs I guess, oh, sorry I ate all the fruit and cheese, but I'll fix you more." She said, leaning over to kiss his lips. He reached for her to bring her close to him, but she put up her hands, " Can, no bebek, you need to eat something, here drink this tea while I go get some more fruit and cheese. She jumped up, striding off towards the kitchen, " Do you know it's been 26 hrs since you have ate anything, you have to be staving." She stated. " Oh and your dad texted you too, it looks like he's going to be staying here for a while." She yelled from the kitchen. Can smiled, glad to hear that bit of news. She brought the tray full of fruit and some vegetables, a little cheese and some more tea. She crawled up in the middle of the bed, chatting away, as she usually did, while he listened intently, munching on the tray of food. His mind roaming with thoughts of his new life, how full and content he was a this very minute, he could stay like this forever. With the food making him feel awake and her voice making him content, he reached for her, she stopped her chatter,  returning the gesture and letting herself surrender again to the man that would be her whole world.

The daylight was streaming in around the curtains when he opened his eyes. Looking around, again Sanem was gone from the bed, his phone said 10:02, " Wow, I have to get up, I think I  going to die if I don't. Her towel still laid crumpled under the covers of the bed. His memory of the last few hours made him smile and feel a bit wicked. His wife was a quick learner, that's all he had to say. He climbed out of bed, and headed for the shower. He needed it bad, If just to soothe his aching muscles. The shower made him feel human again, sliding on a pair of shorts, he went out to find his wife. She was lounging by the pool, talking on her phone, " Bedir, I really don't want to go right now," she stated. " We just got married,..well ok Bedir 2 days ago, but still I'm not going to leave now." She spouted.  " I don't care if it's just for a week, I'm not going." She said with defiance. He listened at the door, " That's my girl," he thought proudly. " Show them who's boss."  Sanem argued, " But why now, Bedir, Rome's isn't going anywhere, can't we schedule it for later." Can had a sneaky feeling she was going to give in, and wasn't happy about it. He walked out sitting down beside her, she smiled and waved at him, and then made a face at the phone, mocking what Bedir was saying to her. It made Can laugh, but the sad feeling of her leaving was creeping in, making him regret the fact she was a famous writer. 

Nothing had been settled when she hung up the phone, but he could see the writing on the wall.    " So Rome is it," he asked. She wrinkled her nose, and shook her head, " Dont worry about it, I not going." She said. " Do you fell better, are you hungry." Let's eat something." She chirped. Trying to change the subject.  " Don't get excited, don't argue, everything will be fine." He pleaded with his mind. The rest of the day was consumed with cooking and eating, before they fell back in bed, full and ready to fill the night with pure and raw desire of each other.  

The plans for Rome seemed to be going along, even with the denial by Sanem of going. It had been a week since the wedding and they hadn't been away from their home for a minute. This place soothed them, Lulling them into a sense of peacefulness. " How could she leave here now, leave him," she wondered. They were riding the wave of sensual desire and she wasn't about to to rock the boat. But her book was gaining popularity and her presence was being demanded.  Maybe just this one last trip, then she would call it quits. Her nice quiet life here was very appealing, and there was no way she wanted to cause any problems between her and Can. 

Can knew she had decided to go on the promotional visit, but the thought of it hurt him down in his gut. He couldn't let her go not even for a week, he would go crazy. " What if I went too," He asked himself. " It's just a week, they could do without him at the agency, they were technically still on their honeymoon." He reasoned with his mind. "This is a great idea, a honeymoon in Rome, what more could you want."  Now....to surprise her with it." 

" What Can, you want to come with me, are you sure." She shouted.  " That would be great, we can finish our honeymoon in Rome." She said with a wink. He circled her body with his arms, picking her up and starting off to the bedroom. She giggled and struggled to get away......

He tossed her on the bed, climbing on top her with that look of raging desire in his eyes. "Our honeymoon will never be finished." He growled.......
