Chapter V:

"Ahem! Am I Interrupting something?" Jo asked looking completely flustered and frustrated at you. Probably because she doesn't want you to be with Mr. Sourpuss over here. Either way, you, and Morpheus both acknowledged her.

"Yes."

"No."

Uh oh. What did he just say? YES?!

You are waving your hands frantically as you see Jo's face turn to complete and utter fury. Lord knows that you would have been sent straight to purgatory if she had the power to.

Thank God she didn't.

"What. Do. You. Mean. Yes?" seethed Jo

"Exactly what I said, yes." Morpheus said unfazed.

If only you could teleport, you would have. Or at least died in embarrassment.

"You interrupted me personally thanking this beautiful woman for saving me"

Yep, you died.

The End.

If only it could be that simple for you. But the fates would have resurrected you before you even got the chance to move. They are determined to see the God of Dreams happy….and they might have a soft spot for you.

Jo was just as shocked as you. Too shocked that Matthew had to caw in order to get both of your attention.

"What the fuck is wrong with woman?" Matthew thought.

"Boss, you sure got a way with woman. And clearly not in the good way"

Lucifer herself would shiver in her boots if she was on the receiving of Morpheus's glare. Good thing she wasn't, but unfortunately for Matthew, luck was not on his side.

"Hehe it's..it's..just a joke BOSS, you know I'm sure woman love you" squeaked Matthew

" .HEW." spoke Morpheus as his eyes darkened and his shadow started to elongate.

"Oh shit."

Before Matthew could finish saying his prayers of apologies, someone decided to save him at the last moment.

"Uh.. Morpheus? Are you okay?" You asked concern as you noticed his tension.

Concealing his nightmarish power so it wouldn't scare you, he answered softly " I'm fine, I just wish to get my pouch back and save my realm."

Understanding, you motioned for Jo to go look in her office, while you searched high n' low everywhere else in the apartment. Of course, life couldn't be simple for you, Jo just had to open her big mouth about the Burgess Family.

"You know, I heard that Roderick Burgess had the devil hiding his basement and under his command, that wouldn't grant a single wish. Do you k…."

"JOHANNA CONSTANTINE, KINDLY SHUT THE FUCK UP!" You screamed at her, in complete fury for her lack of empathy at the man before who was growing tenser with each moment Johanna continued to speak.

Absolutely flabbergasted by your outburst, Johanna grew quiet.

"For once Jo, learn to think before you speak." You said not turning around being on the verge of tears.

"Mina, I.."

"Is this you in this picture?" Asked Morpheus holding a polaroid of two woman who were absolutely in love with one another.

"Why? Do I look younger?" Asked Jo, taking the polaroid out of his hand

Morpheus looked at you, then Jo and said "Happy."

"Shit…I know where you pouch is."

Johanna and Morpheus found his at his pouch at an ex-girlfriend of Jo, Rachel, house. Unfortunately, Rachel was overcome with the power contained, that she died. From your understanding, Morpheus helped her die in peace, but you knew it was a heartbreaking moment for both of them.

It had been a few weeks before you talked to Johanna again. It had been a month before you saw Morpheus again. You were completely worried about him, but you knew he was okay since, according to Christian, Jo's nightmares had stopped.

You hadn't been sleeping. The Burgess Family history still on your mind. The transgressions and torment they lived for on a man that wanted nothing but to cherish humanity and give them peace. It never set well with you, but then again a lot of things don't.

In a way you not sleeping was a way of avoidance. As much as you would like to pretend, you couldn't deny that you didn't feel a connection to the man of dreams.

Little did you know, he felt the same.

"You haven't been sleeping." a voice spoke as you jumped in surprised.

"I'm not tired. I haven't been tired lately."

"You're lying." said Morpheus, as he advanced towards you.

"I'm not, not everyone is tired all the time." You turned around as he kept approaching you.

"If that is true, then why not face me? Why not look me in the eyes and speak your truth."

Feeling angry, you took the challenge and turned around, ready to tell him off, but you couldn't speak.

Morpheus was so close to you that if you moved your head upwards, you would have kissed him.

You were staring directly at his chest.

"Well? Cat got your tongue?" Morpheus said looking at you.

Still not able to speak or move, Morpheus grabbed your chin and forced you to look at his piercing blue eyes.

You could feel pulsing, but it definitely was not coming from your chest.

Before you could stop yourself, your lips touched his.

As you were about to pull away, Morpheus grabbed your hips and pushed you against the wall pinning you to him.

He grabbed your wrist and held them above your head.

Piercing blue eyes meets Hazel.

No one moving or breathing. The only sound that could be heard was coming from the heavy breathing by both participants.

Until Morpheus kissed you back. This time filled with a burning passion that neither of you have felt before.

Tongue meeting tongue.

Bodies pushed up together trying to feel anything, wanting nothing more than to rip each other's close off.

Cold hands traveling up your spine making you whine and arching into the perpetrator even more.

With one hand, Morpheus wrapped your legs around his waist, trailing kisses down your neck.

Ready to rip your shirt off to feel more of your heat, a pecking at the window stopped him from doing so.

You ready to yell at Matthew to go away, Morpheus put down and opened the window with a sharp look that could have killed the poor raven.

"It better be important Matthew, I'm busy." Morpheus stated sharply. No expression on his face, but clear fury swirling in his eyes.

"Trust me sir, I would love to not be here right now and deliver bad news as you're trying to get your cucumber wet but unfortunately we can't all have it our way." Matthew said being irritated with being the messenger.

"Matthew I promise …."

"Anyway, Lucienne sent me here because there is a concerning rumor swirling around the dreaming."

Before Morpheus could apologies, you walk up to him, give him a tender loving kiss, and tell him to go.

"Go. I'll be here waiting. Your realm and your people need you." You smiled while holding his cheek.

"I will be back. We have much to talk about." Morpheus spoke leaning into your touch

"Yes we do." You smiled as he and Matthew disappeared.
