Summary: Morpheus ends his marriage and in his heartache he summons you to the Dreaming calling on what his heart desires.
Pairing: Morpheus x Human! Reader
Part I
A year had passed since you last saw Morpheus’ even when you were the one to end things, part of you hoped he would look for you, but he didn’t.
The man had vanished into thin air after that night, you weren’t the same after you two took separate ways, being haunted by the memories of you and him, smelling his cologne on your sheets, your pillows.
Yes, everything you had built was a lie, a beautiful lie sometimes you wished to hold onto, but you could not live with yourself knowing you had gotten in the way of a marriage, that when he left you, he was going back to a wife, to a completely different life.
For a while you tried dating, but it was useless because it didn’t matter how many dates you went on or how many of them you sneaked into the bedroom in seek for dullness to your broken heart.
Because nobody felt like him and nobody ever would.
And you hated him even more for it, for being so deeply rooted to your body, mind and soul.
Every time you went to bed it was a hundred times worse, as you couldn’t seem to get any rest, even if you slept.
For the billionth time, you laid on your bed, placing your head on the pillow and softly hugging it from underneath your head as you closed your eyes.
Something felt oddly different, everything was awfully quiet, even in the darkness you could not recognize a single thing, like you were in a different world.
Not knowing what to do you started walk, trying to get acquainted to the unknown territory, hoping to find someone, anyone.
Your heart skipped a beat, if not several as you looked at the man you were trying to escape from at your every step sitting on the stairs with a lost expression. Then, as if he had felt your presence, he looked up.
When his eyes found yours again, after so long, you could not explain the look on his face, the astonishment and confusion.
Morpheus looked over to the woman beside him, looking for some sort of explanation.
“I don’t think she’s an invention, my lord” she spoke softly, his eyes landed on you again, now hopeful as he stood quietly, scared he might startle you if he did any sudden motions.
Your heart roared in its cage, you wanted to run away but your body was completely unresponsive to your brain.
“Y/N…” he said making your heart flutter, his voice making you weak to your knees, you hated that even now he had such control over you.
“Where am I?” It was all you could say as a mixtape of anger and want invaded you.
“The Dreaming” your whole world came crumbling the minute he spoke those words, this was in fact, another world. But why were you here?
You stood there, awfully silent as you took all of that in, Morpheus looked at Lucienne.
“Leave us, please” he requested, the woman was quick to nod as see her way out, closing the doors to the throne room.
“Not consciously, but yes” he was speaking quietly, looking at you when the only thing he wished was to hold you and tell you how much he had missed you, that every day that passed without you was the most cruel punishment of all.
“Then consciously take me the fuck back” you hissed through your teeth, it was as if you were living it all over again.
“I need you to listen to what I have to say”
“You think I’m going sit here and listen-“ you started saying feeling like a teapot sitting on the flame.
You blinked a few times, registering his words before scoffing at him.
“No that’s just another lie of yours” you deadpanned “You just want me to run to your eyes so you can have me and break me all over again, when is it gonna be enough for you?!” You were speaking from your disappointment, for your fear.
Your former lover grabbed your waist and forcefully pulled you into his chest, even as you tried to set yourself free, but it was pointless as he had a strength beyond human capabilities.
He was determined to not let you go this time around.
“Y/N look at me” he pleaded you, but as you truly had nowhere to go you were forced to comply. Being so close to him after all this time felt good but the fact it did made you feel guilty as well.
“I ended my marriage because Calliope never compared to you, you’re all I want, my sweetness. Even as you stand here, hating me rightfully, I am only thrilled by the mere fact of having you here”
Your heart was beating so loud for him you thought it would come out of your chest. He still lied and you too still loved him.
But it was wrong of you, all of this was wrong even as he had ended his marriage your brain reminded you of all his lies, as beautiful as it was, he had deliberately dragged you into this situation, taking away your choice.
Adrenaline filled you as you felt the urge to run away from your heart desires, from him. You started hitting his chest, attempting to squirm away from his grasp.
“You ruined us! You did this, not me!” You exclaimed, his eyes glowed with indescribable emotion as he grabbed your jaw and kissed you. Surprisingly, you reciprocated to his actions.
When you pulled away from him, you were still breathing heavily but now you launched forward, kissing him fervently, sending out the window the last bits of willpower left in your body.
Both of you gave into what your hearts desired, Morpheus’ started stripping you out of your clothes as he now perceived them as obstacles to reach his goal.
Your body was consumed by the fire, the intoxicating need of him, you roughly pulled on his hair making him hum in your mouth, his hands massaged your ass cheeks aggressively making you gasp in delight.
The clothes served as some sort of improvised bed as Morpheus roughly pulled you down on the floor, making you fall on his lap, straddling him.
He grabbed the back of your head to kiss your neck, you breathed heavily as you ran your fingers to his chest feeling yourself growing wetter under him, the Lord of Dreams groaned at the feeling of yourself pooling under him.
“I see you haven’t been taken care of properly, my sweetness” you moaned unable to form any coherent words, you both knew what he was implying, of course he knew you had been with others, seeking pleasure.
As bad as it may sound, Morpheus found satisfaction on the fact you were this needy, that your needs hadn’t been met properly, the satisfaction only he could suffice you was everything he needed.
Because it didn’t matter how many people tried, nobody would know your body like he did, nobody made you this much of a mess.
There was no time for foreplay or build up as you both were already heated far beyond what you thought possible.
Morpheus’ lined himself to your walls and entered you with a single thrust, being so deep inside you that you could almost feel him in your stomach, he didn’t even gave you proper time to adjust to him before his started grinding his hips violently, the room echoed with the sounds of pleasure and your skin crashing on and on.
Your body was shaken to its core, you could feel your legs trembling like jelly as he kept thrusting inside you relentlessly, your body was barely able to contain him as he went feral on you.
The Endless had always held back when being with you, as you were human he needed to be cautious, but right here and now he had forgotten of that, as his mind was clouded by his lust.
You held onto him as tight as you could, you were breathing on each other’s faces heavily, Morpheus’ took in the look in your face, how you were drunken in the high of pleasure, in the delicious mixture of pain and pleasure, you wished for him to never stop, even if it felt like he was ripping you apart from the inside.
Morpheus’ clawed his nails to your sides and you were sure that would leave a notorious bruising but as you felt yourself pulsating, strangling his cock as your release was building, you could only worry about that later.
Finally, both you and Morpheus came undone, his seed welcomed itself inside your body, as you sighed softly in utter contentment.
The king cupped your face in his hands, looking at your sweaty flustered face as if you were the greatest work of art ever made.
“Let us have another chance, rewrite our history. The way it should’ve been from the start” you looked at him dead in the eye, you could tell he was being sincere as you knew there was nobody else for you in this universe that wasn’t him.
“Listen to me, because I will only say this once” you spoke carefully, all his attention was on you as you grabbed your arms around his neck and nuzzled the hairs at the back of his head.
“If you mess this up I will kill you, I don’t care if you’re the actual personification of dreams” Morpheus’ smiled from ear to ear as he chuckled. Regardless of your aggressive threat you were giving him a chance to mend his mistakes.
He grabbed his arms around you and embraced you fully, feeling whole again as you melted in his touch at last.
The world made sense again.
