Morpheus (5 page)

She had contacted his people and tried to
convince them. They had said they would check things out and she
could only hope they would. They couldn’t have too much help to get
Morpheus on track and her and the kids back to their lives. She
felt a slight pain run through her chest at the thought of Morpheus
leaving them. That was just silly, they hardly knew each other and
she wasn’t the best judge when it came to men. She just needed to
take a deep breath and get through this.

“Why here?” Morpheus asked curiously.

“I think they’ll look in the flea bag motels
and the ones at the edge of town. We’re paying cash, no card to
track and we look like any other family that would stay in a place
like this.”

“Makes sense,” he said approvingly.

She went inside and used cash for the room
and a fake ID she had used as a teenager to get in bars for the
required ID. She knew they wouldn’t run the ID unless there was a
problem. She got them a two bedroom suite. It wasn’t like these
places were cheap, so she figured that would make it the last place
someone would look for escapees. They would figure out where
everyone would sleep when they got to the room. She went back to
the SUV and drove them to the building they would be staying in.
She had gotten the room for two nights and she hoped it would be
enough.

Everyone grabbed some things to carry to the
room. She had put all of Morpheus’s things in a carryon she had
bought him. They were traveling light so one trip did it. She knew
she should call Slay, but what did she have to tell him? Morpheus
followed her right into the master bedroom and started putting his
things away.

“Hey, wait a minute, Hoss,” she said. “Never
mind, you’re right. You should get the big bed, you’re a mountain
of a man.”

“We need to share this room, El,” he said
using her nickname for the first time. He like the way it slid over
his tongue. It sounded good when he said it and it implied an
intimacy they didn’t yet have. Hopefully, it wouldn’t be long.

“What do you mean?” she looked nervous when
she asked.

“The maid will come in and see we’re not
together. We also need to get used to acting like we’re close so we
don’t give anything away. Come here!” he demanded with his arms
held out.

It was like she was in a trance. She slowly
walked to him like she had no choice. What the hell was wrong with
her. Her breathing got heavier the closer she came. His strong
masculine scent wrapped around her when she was right in front of
him.

“Closer,” he whispered, his voice husky and
less demanding now than appealing.

She stepped forward that little bit more that
put her right in the circle of his arms. He looked into her eyes,
he was either looking for permission or denial. She wasn’t sure
what he found but his mouth dropped to her. She had never felt lips
so soft and sensual as he began his assault. His hands seemed to be
everywhere stroking and touching. He cupped her ass and she gasped
in surprise. He took the opportunity to spear his tongue into her
mouth and explore every hidden recess.

She felt like a virgin who had never before
experienced a man because he was so much more than she had even
ever imagined. She felt a rush of fluids to her pussy preparing her
for his penetration. He lifted her and her legs wrapped around him
hugging him tightly as if afraid he would let her go. her nipples
were so hard they hurt. At least she could feel a response from him
in the form of a long hard bulge that pressed between her legs
telling her if they weren’t wearing clothes, he would already be
inside her. She moaned softly, need enveloping her. She forgot for
a moment who and where she was and all she thought about was this
man, this perfect sexy creature in front of her.

He groaned as he humped against her.
Oh,
dear Lord he feels so damn good.
His hands slid up under her
shirt rubbing her back as if to relax her, but it didn’t. It only
added to the almost painful arousal she felt. She needed relief,
they were in a bedroom for goodness sake and she had to have him,
now
.

A loud noise made its way into her passion
soaked brain. “Mommy and Morpheus sittin’ in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G,
first comes love, then comes marriage, then we get a baby sister in
a baby carriage,” Cassie said with Donnie trying to keep up with
her fast sing song voice. El was mortified at being caught in a
liplock with Mr. Sexy and she froze up unable to say a word.
Morpheus just looked…tickled, for lack of a better word. He seemed
happy the kids had caught them and she couldn’t understand why.

She dropped her legs and arms from where they
were wrapped around him and moved back so fast she almost fell onto
the bed she had wanted just moments before. She finally found her
voice, “Cassie, it was just a friendly kiss,” she said.

Morpheus stood looking at her disbelieving
she would even attempt to put such a mild term on what had just
passed between them. Even Cassie and Donnie didn’t look convinced.
She turned bright red, not so much from having been caught in a
totally compromising situation by her children, but because she was
lying and doing it badly. Even a kid could see she was totally
crushing on the massive god. Ah, hell, what was she going to do
about it?

“It’s okay, kids. Me and your mommy were just
practicing acting married in case someone comes looking for us,”
Morpheus said. It looked like he was going to back her up even if
he wasn’t happy about it.

“Uh, huh,” Cassie said still looking
completely unconvinced. She took Donnie’s hand leading him out of
the room. “Let’s let them get back to their…practice.” She closed
the door as they left with one look back at them and a shake of her
head.

“Oh my God. What will they think?”

“That their mother is also a woman?”

“You don’t understand.”

“Are you ashamed of wanting me?”

She looked at him. What woman wouldn’t want
him? “No, but they need their mother to be focused on them. I’m all
they’ve got.”

“They have a large extended family. They’ve
told me quite a bit about them.”

“I mean I’m their only parent. I have to be
both mother and father to them.”

“Maybe you need to find someone who’s willing
to help you with that.” His beautiful gray eyes were warm and
willing. If only she could just forget her crazy life and take the
shelter he offered even for a little while. And why couldn’t she?
Didn’t she deserve a little something for herself?

She stood still looking at the big, sexy
man/god in front of her. She could hear the kids in the living room
watching cartoons. No matter where they were or what kind of TV
services, cable, satellite, or the old fashioned antennas, Cassie
had a talent for finding every and any cartoon on whatever station
it was on. They were laughing uproariously, it must be a funny
cartoon.

Morpheus was standing close to her now,
almost touching. When had he moved? She lifted her face up to look
at him. He was so close it put a cramp in the back of her neck to
look up. He knew just what to do, he lifted her with his hands
squeezing her ass. She barely knew him yet she felt oddly drawn to
him. The kids liked him too and she had found they were a good
judge of character. As young as they had been when their father
left, neither of them had liked him much. Cassie especially had
kept her distance from him and had a cool relationship with
him.

He hadn’t cared, he hadn’t wanted her to
shower him with affection or show him love in any way. She should
have realized as soon as Cassie was born that he was no good and
sent him on his way, but she wouldn’t have Donnie now if she had.
She could feel Morpheus pulling her up against him and her arms
wrapped around his neck as her legs wrapped around his waist. Was
it wrong to take this moment for herself? To take what pleasure he
wanted to give her even if it was just for the moment?

His lips descended on hers and he consumed
her. Any thought she might have had, was impossible to follow. She
opened up to him letting him lead her down a path of pleasure
impossible to deny. How could anything this unbelievably good be
wrong? She lifted her arms as he pulled her shirt over her head.
She wanted to feel her skin against his, the need was simply too
overwhelming. She took off his shirt and tossed it to the floor.
OMG, he does look like a god.
His muscles flexed as his arms
moved back around her .His skin was soft and smooth, but his
muscles felt hard as stone.

He popped the fastener on the back of her bra
like a pro, she didn’t even want to think about that. Now they were
truly skin to skin from the waist up. Her nipples hardened as they
rubbed against his chest and his male nipples pebbled. She flushed
slightly as she looked into his eyes and saw the lust shining in
them. She knew he could see the same desire reflecting in hers.
Maybe not glowing, like his, because she had never seen that kind
of glow in any human’s eyes before.

It no longer mattered because she wanted him
too much to stop now. Her belly was heated, her pussy soaked with
love juice, and her whole body tingled with need. He kissed her
briefly before he moved to the bed gently lowering her to the
center of the mattress. He stripped his pants quickly and she was
shocked. She had never seen him hard like he was right now and
frankly, it was almost scary. His cock pointed to the ceiling, long
and broad. She knew it would fit, hell she wanted him badly enough
to make sure it fit, but damn. Just damn!

He helped her slide her pants off and he
smiled at her sexy undies. It was one of the few concessions she
gave herself. She spent money on some sexy underwear so she could
feel like a woman sometimes instead of just a mother, sister,
friend, and landlord. Everyone had their little things, and that
was hers. Morpheus seemed to appreciate it leaving them on as he
started stroking her through them. That felt so damn sexy. She
could feel damp heat between her legs and his stroking was making
it hotter and wetter. She watched him as he slid off her silky
panties and moved his head between her legs. Anticipation of what
was coming next made shivers run through her.

The feeling of his tongue as it slowly
stroked her was incredible. His tongue parted her folds as he slid
from her passage to her clit and back. He impaled her on it and
continued to tongue fuck her with enthusiasm. He slid in and out,
her channel becoming more and more sensitive. He paused and moved
his tongue up to her clit causing her to jerk at the unexpected but
delicious feeling. Now he centered his attention on her tiny bud,
laving heated moisture on it. He circled, pressed, and nipped until
she exploded, keening her joy as she jerked against him and her
hands ruffled through his hair.

He wasted no time sliding up her body and
sinking his impressive hard cock into her tight but accepting
sheath. Her muscles hugged and pressed into him making him shudder
with need. Her legs wrapped around him and her toes sank into his
tight ass when she arched against him striving to have all of him.
She had never felt anything so perfect as making love to Morpheus
and she was sure she never would. When he drove into her she swore
it felt like they melded together, two people becoming one. She
could feel him shiver and shake, she could sense his pleasure and
feel his need.

He rubbed every spot that needed attention
lighting her up as no one ever had. Her hands grabbed at him,
unable to believe she was so close to release this soon after the
first time. She could feel every inch of him pleasuring her. His
body sliding over her felt so damn good it just brought her closer.
He whispered sweet words in her ear and she tensed, her whole body
alive ready to explode. She tried to hold back, but it was too much
and she screamed his name. She bit into his shoulder to muffle the
sound. She’d never done that before, but the sweet taste of his
blood didn’t disgust her as she might of expected. He bit into her
neck, but she could hardly complain.

She shook, weak after two orgasms so close
together. Morpheus held her, his breath and heartbeat hadn’t slowed
yet either. She just wanted to relax and go to sleep, but she
couldn’t, not until the kids were put to bed. She went to take a
shower, but Morpheus joined her. He just helped her clean up,
washing her carefully, almost worshipping every bit of her flesh
that he soaped up and rinsed. She got out leaving him to finish
showering.

She threw on a robe and went to the living
room where the kids had both crashed. She picked up Donnie first,
carrying him to bed. He had already changed into PJs as had Cassie.
They were such good kids, nearly angels really. She put Cassie to
bed next to him, just for tonight. They hated to share a bed
because Cassie said Donnie snored, which he sometimes did, and he
said Cassie was a bed hog, which was true. El often woke up with
Cassie on top of her when they shared a bed, no matter the size of
the bed.

She went back to the master suite where
Morpheus was throwing on the sleep pants she had bought him. “I
usually sleep naked, but I saw you bought those and I thought about
the kids,” he said when he noticed where her eyes went. The look in
his eyes said volumes and ramped up her desire all over again.

“Thank you,” she said, her voice rough. The
man was so sexy it just wasn’t fair to women. He should come with a
warning label, because once she had touched him she was lost. Now
they were stuck in the awkward feelings after intimacy, or at least
she was. He didn’t seem to feel awkward. He opened his arms and
motioned to her. Ah, what the hell! She moved into his warm
comforting embrace. Once he felt more relaxed, he let her go to
pull back the sheets and invited her to move into his arms once
again. She did and then they relaxed together as he soothed her by
rubbing her arms. She started to get really sleepy and decided she
would figure things out in the morning. Right now, she just wanted
to enjoy sleeping in the arms of the sexiest man she had ever
seen.
