Adam Yilmaz POV

Being back in Istanbul was so good for me. Just breathing in and out with closed eyes brought me calmness and peace. I was holding Emily in my arms while my fingers were intertwined with Lena's. At first, she didn't want to come, saying she'd prefer staying in New York but I wasn't taking no for an answer. I did what Emily does best and threw a tantrum like a little kid. Emily found it funny and joined me as well. At last, Lena gave up and here we are, walking out of the airport with my friend Johnny D.

"OMG! You're finally here! I thought that plane would never land!" I heard Serena squeal as she ran to us and gave Lena a hug.

"And here goes my peace" I muttered looking at Johnny D who just rolled his eyes with a shrug. I didn't mind have Serena around me, she's a very nice person. She just gets so excited when she gets together with Lena squealing and giggling a lot.

We all greeted each other with hugs and handshakes before jumping into Keram's jeep. They were all chatting away happily but I wasn't really listening. I was giving Emily a small tour, pointing to things and places as Keram was driving around the city. Emily was so excited and happy and kept letting out gasps of excitement.

Keram dropped Johnny D at Kayra's place so he could surprise her and took us to our family house where my grandparents and family were eagerly waiting for us to arrive. Even though we were tired, we spent the whole day with my family. Every time we tried to excuse ourselves, they would tell us to spend a little more time with them. Emily just loved my grandpa right away and sat on his lap the whole time. Sanem, my mother's twin was so taken with Lena. She kept chatting with her and got to know her better.

"How is Celine Adam?" Sanem asked me out of the blue as we were all drinking tea. In Istanbul, tea is essential.

"She's good. She's working with me in the company but I think she'll come back here soon. She keeps saying New York isn't for her."

"I would rethink that if I were her" Keram chuckled, "Her grandpa is so mad at her he promised to shoot her on sight".

Lena gasped and covered her mouth making me laugh a little "Don't worry, her grandpa only makes empty threats. But he might not allow her to visit them. He already cut her off, that's the worst he could do."

"Maybe it is but it's still wrong, she's their family."

"Don't think too much about it Helena, family feud happen all the time here. Would you come to help me make some elmali Korabiye?"

"Elma what?" Lena asked confused and directed her gaze to Serena who was giggling.

"Just apple biscuits. It's actually mouthwatering! Come on" Serena took Lena's hand and followed Sanem to the kitchen.

My grandpa gave us one of his cars so we could move around town freely. We left rather late that night. They all wanted us to stay over, stating how big the mansion was for all of us to fit. But I knew Lena loved her privacy, so I declined their offer and took them to my house. Thankfully, Keram thought of bringing someone to clean it and had stocked our fridge and cupboards.

"How thoughtful of him" Lena smiled closing the fridge and leaning her back over it.

"He thinks of everything."

With a seductive smile, I closed the distance between us and pressed her against the cold surface of the fridge crashing my lips on hers kissing her hungrily. We spent the day together but without actual contact and now I was craving her like crazy. Lena automatically wrapped her legs around my waist bringing me closer to her pressing my body harder over hers.

"Emily?" I whispered against her soft skin before nibbling her earlobe.

"Asleep" she let out with a moan.

"Good" I let out huskily kissing down her neck. I wrapped my arms around her butt and made my way to the stairs without breaking the kiss.

I heard giggling and felt something hard crash on my back. Letting out a groan I sleepily opened my eyes and found Emily sitting on my back and giggling with Lena.

"Daddy wake up! We made breakfast!"

"Ohh you did?" I turned around engulfing her in a bear hug "what did you make for breakfast angel?"

"Momy made some perdu thing" she cringed "what is it called mommy?"

Lena chuckled "We made some Pain perdue, and pancakes and a fresh fruit salad"

"Your famous Pain perdue! Then to the kitchen, we go monkey!"I leaned over and kissed Lena on the lips before stretching a little.

They went to the kitchen and finished setting the table while I took a quick shower before joining them. We decided to spend the day in the house together playing games with Emily, and it was much needed. Around five in the afternoon, we heard the main gate open and looked out the window to see Keram, Serena, Johnny D, and Kayra coming out of the car. Emily ran to the door and opened it for them.

"Hi little monkey!" Johnny picked her up and pecked her cheek before she wrapped her arms around him.

"We decided to ambush you and take you out" Serena smiled at Lena "You cannot come to Istanbul and stay home young lady!"

"She's right Helena, our city is so beautiful you have to see it" Kayra joined in before hugging us both "I'm so happy to see you!"

"So are we Kayra" I smiled and looked at Lena who smiling ear to ear.

"So what do you say?"

She looked at Keram raising an eyebrow "Depends, where are you taking me?"

"Let's start with the Galata Tower, it's in Taksim and will give you a perfect view of the city. And we can have dinner by the Bosphorus you'll love it!"

I chuckled "this is so touristic Keram, but yeah let's show her our touristic sites before showing her the real beauty of our city."

"Oh I leave that to you dear nephew" he winked before pushing us toward the stairs "Get ready and don't take long." He warned us playfully.

Lena and I rushed up the stairs to get changed. I pulled out my black jeans and a black shirt and was dressed in a couple of minutes. I sat at the end of the bed to put on my shoes and that's when I was met with a view I would never get bored with. Lena was in nothing but her red lace underwear. I cleared my throat as I felt myself harden a little.

"What are you doing?" I didn't recognize my voice as it came out a little hoarse.

"I'm looking for my earring, must have dropped it somewhere last night," she said oblivious to the effect she had on me. She leaned down a little to search in one of her drawers giving me an amazing view of her perfect tight butt.

"Can't you do that fully dressed?"

Lena looked at me confused for a few seconds and then it hit her. I think the lust in my eyes gave it away as she slowly let her gaze drop down to the bulge in my pants and she let out a heavy sigh.

"You are insatiable Adam" She burst into laughter and quickly reached for her pants and blouse.

"It's not my fault you're so sexy! But you're lucky we have people waiting for us or else I wouldn't have let you go."

"I know you wouldn't, but no worries big boy, you'll have me tonight" she giggled "And I'll make the wait worth it."

Keram had gotten a black minivan so we could all fit and enjoy the ride around the city together.

Lena and Emily were awestruck with the beauty of the city, Lena fell in love with it and joked about moving here permanently but I knew she would never leave her parents behind. Heck, I wouldn't leave them behind, I've already lived a few years apart from them and wouldn't do it again. We went home late that night and Emily was fast asleep in Johnny's arms who helped me put her to bed before leaving with the others.

"Someone gave me a promise before we went out" I teased lying on the bed in just my boxers."

"And, that someone is going to fulfill the promise." She said sexily crawling on the bed only to straddle me. And she did as promised, taking us both to cloud nine.

The next few days were well spent with our friends and family as we showed Lena and Emily around. We even took them to Rize, where my dad came from. However, we didn't go see his side of the family. They never wanted me so why bother? We stayed in a nice hotel and explored the area for a couple of days.

On a Saturday night, a week before we had to leave I contacted a restaurant in the city that was located on the rooftop of the highest building there was in Istanbul. I sent the manager a few pictures of what I wanted them to arrange our table and the atmosphere around us. I wanted to surprise Lena and wanted it to be as perfect as her.

Keram and Serena offered to watch over Emily while we were out, they even came earlier so we could take our time getting ready. Keram kept throwing me teasing glances and smiles as I paced the living room in my black tuxedo.

"Why do you girls always take so much time to get ready?" I asked Serena rolling my eyes "Seriously it took me half an hour to shower and get dressed".

"Women need more time than that! We need time to shower, apply our face care, makeup, and pick the right outfit. Don't worry you'll get used to being waiting every time you'll be going out" She laughed and Keram nodded in agreement.

"Trust me, Serena starts getting ready a couple of hours before we need to head out, but I'm okay with it. I only start to get ready when she's done with her makeup and is about to get dressed. That way I don't feel like I've waited too long."

They both laughed and started teasing me and throwing jokes but soon I had them shut out of my mind and focused my gaze and brain on the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life.

Lena was descending the stairs in a black off-shoulder long dress. It hugged her figure perfectly, and even though it didn't show any cleavage, she looked sexy as hell. A slit on the right showed her flawless toned leg.

"Lena..." I whispered joining her by the staircase and taking her hand in mine.

"Adam" She responded with confidence "I hope I didn't make you wait long?"

"What no... not at all" I heard Keram snicker and ignored him "You look amazing baby"

"You don't look so bad yourself" she smiled and leaned over to peck my cheek. Even with her heels on, she was still shorter than me, her head reaching just above my shoulder.

We went back to the living room where Serena was coloring with Emily and Keram was pretending to watch TV, while in fact, he was trying to hear our conversation.

"Thank you so much guys for helping us with Emily."

"No problem Lena, don't mention it. You look gorgeous! You better watch out Adam, someone might snatch her out from your grip"

"They can die trying" I glared at him. The thought of Lena being with someone else could bring out the worst in me.

We bid them goodbye and went on our date. The whole drive, Lena was singing Turkish songs playing on the radio, no word she was saying was actually right making me laugh heartedly.

"I promise I'll teach you the language"

"I'd love that" She said laughing before the valet parking opened her door and helped her out.

I met her in front of the building and smiled at how happy she looked "This is beautiful, I wonder how it looks from the rooftop. Do you think they will let us check it out?"

"Baby, that's where we're going" I grinned remembering when she drunkenly kissed me on The Walton's rooftop. I took her hand in mine and guided it to my lips placing a soft feathery kiss on it. "Come on" I lead the way inside the building and into the elevator. I noticed she was holding a paper bag but didn't give much thought to it.

Knowing she didn't like being in elevators for too long, I engulfed her in a bear hug and kissed her passionately until we heard a 'ding' signaling we reached our destination.

Once the doors opened, Lean gasped at the view in front of her "Adam..." I barely heard her whisper "You did this?"
