Safe In the Arms of Love.....Part 3 of " Yes, Let's Just Be Friends

Chapter Three

"Can, Abi, are you there?" Metin asked after a few seconds of silence. All the events of the last couple of weeks were reliving themselves in his head as he rubbed his face with his hands, "Yes, Metin I'm here. So, how did that happen, how did they get the evidence against her?" He inquired, knowing what the police had told him on that first day. Metin smirked, " Well it seems our friend Taner wasn't about to face this alone. He gave up all the info and plans they had, making it more than enough to bring her in. He even tried to make it sound like it was all her idea." Can paced the floor, " But have they found her yet, she may try and leave the country. I know how scared she was that night on the mountain when I overheard her conversation with Taner." Metin reported, " Her father is turning her in, but of course they are denying all the claims." 

" What conversation Can?" Sanem asked, as she listened to Can's side of the phone call. Can whipped around to face her, his eyes wide. " Sanem, bebek, I didn't know you were up. Uhh, just a minute, let me get off the phone." He stammered. Metin knew that Sanem had no idea that Ceyda had been a partner to Taner on all that had happened to her, and he didn't envy the fact that Can would now have to explain it all to her. " Metin, let me talk to you later, ok. But thanks for letting me know." Can spoke quietly into the phone. Sanem stood firm, her eyes drilling into his. " Who did you have a conversation with, and why was Metin calling you. Can, please don't keep things from me about Taner." She ordered, as her eyes filled with tears. Can closed his eyes,  this was the last thing he wanted on their honeymoon. He didn't want to think about Taner or Ceyda, but he knew he had to tell her about this or else. 

He cupped her face in his hands, wiping the tears from her face. " Let's not think about it right now my love, it's really nothing." He explained, trying to dismiss the subject. Sanem stepped back away from him, " No Can, you will tell me now, then I'll be the one to decide if it's nothing." She told him, holding that look of defiance on her face. He took a deep breath, " Ok, here sit down." He said, leading her to the couch. There wouldn't be any way to sugar coat what he had to tell her, so it would be best to just come right out with it. " Metin called to tell me they are charging Ceyda with aiding Taner in your abduction. They had it all planned together, she even knew where the cabin was that he took you to. She is the one that called him to warn him, and tell him that I was on my way back to Istanbul." Can remarked, feeling that anger start to rise up inside him again. Sanem sat staring blankly across the room, hearing those words brought back the memory of what she had overheard between Ceyda and Taner that day at the agency. 

So they were in this together, all of this so Ceyda could get her claws into Can. She rested her head in her hands, " Did you already know this Can, when did you find out." She spoke her voice trembling.  Can knew he had to choose his words carefully, the last thing he wanted was for her to feel betrayed. Can started, " Well you know that Taner sent that video to me, and that's when it went to Ceydas tent to ask her if she knew where Taner could be, and that's when I overheard her on the phone with him. She was yelling at him, saying he hadn't stuck to the plan, and that's when it lost it. I threatened her, demanded that she tell me where Taner had taken you." Can paced the floor, feeling the restlessness of hearing the whole scenario again. He continued, " I ran out to the truck and headed to the airport, and I called the only person I felt could help find you, Metin." 

Sanem reached out for Can's hand, grabbing it tightly. " I'm sorry you had to go through that, especially being that far away and knowing you couldn't get to me." She wrapped her arms around his neck, " Nothing will hurt us again." She told him, kissing him in the neck. Talking about all that unpleasantness had stirred the already vivid memory of Taner and what had happened. Sanem smiled, " Let's  not let them spoil the rest of our honeymoon, come on I'm starving. I'll help you cook."  They both busied themselves in the kitchen, preparing a beautiful table of food. They ate, laughed, planned what their life would be like until all the stars of the night had made their appearance. They laid on the lawn, wrapped in a blanket together, " Let's make a wish Can." Salem suggested, snuggling up closer to him. The heat from his body warmed her through and through, making to hard to concentrate. Can laughed his hardy laugh, " I already have my wish, and then some." He pulled her closer, slidding his hand up under his t-shirt that she had on. The feel of her body drove him crazy, it made him almost lose control. He rolled over on top of her, " You are my wish, this is my wish, just us like this for the rest of our lives." He spoke, allowing every fiber of his being to surrender to her. 

Sanem didn't have to say a word, just the look from her eyes and the way she welcomed his body to join with hers was enough, no it was magical. It was as if the stars had served as their own personal fireworks show, twinkling and glittering as the couple found even a greater satisfaction from the feel of each other. Her legs wrapped tightly around his body as he thrust himself deeper inside, Yes....she was his only wish, and no matter what, he intended to keep her safe and secure.

He fell to the side of her,  exhausted but completely satisfied. All his years of living had never brought him this much joy or pleasure as being with her. She moaned as she rolled over, draping half of her body across his, " My husband, I think you have outdone yourself, and I will expect nothing less the next time and the next time and the next time." She whispered with a giggle. His heart jumped at the mere thought of what that meant, it meant the rest of his life he would feel her, smell her, touch her, satisfy her. Sanem raised up on one elbow, looking seriously into his eyes, " How many babies would you like, I mean when we're ready of course, but how many?" She questioned, her eyes sparkling brighter than the stars in the sky.

Can smiled, " More than one that's for sure, so maybe two. I don't know, what about you." He asked, feeling the excitement of being a Dad began to surface. She sat up quickly next to him, crossing her legs, " I think three, that seems like a good number to me. Close  in age so they could grow up together. A boy first, then the girls, you know so he can protect his sisters."  She spoke her face taking on a glow he had ever seen before.

" OK, then three it is, and when do you propose we start this arrival of our offspring..

She tilted her head slightly, " Well that my love will be totally up to you, and how energetic you are." She replied, gliding her hand over his muscled chest, and making her way to a very important part of his body.....
