I woke up with a start. I jerked in my place. I was breathing frantically heavy and my heart about to fly out of my chest.
I felt arms tighten around me.
"You're safe" he whispered in my ear.
I came to realize I was laying on my side with Phoenix's arms around me.
I tried to calm down but I couldn't. The fearsome thoughts ran through my head.
"Okay what's wrong?" He asked moving around a bit. "Face me if you will?"
I turned to my other side so I could face him. He rubbed my arm and pulled the blanket over to cover me.
"What happened?"
"Just a dream.." I answered quietly.
"Oh.. So why are you so worked up about it?"
"Nightmare.."
"About what?"
"Well there was this weird light person talking to me and everything was white and shining and then when he left a dragon came for me."
"Oh... Okay, they are testing you. Don't be scared please."
"Who's testing me?"
"The Angels. Usually it starts at the moment you embrace but, you didn't."
"Oh, but then what was the dragon for?"
"I'm not completely sure."
"Oh okay.." I just wanted to sleep. It was dark outside with rain and thunder pouring.
"Come here.. Go back to sleep" he kissed my forehead and I buried myself into his chest.
I felt safe with him. He had his arms around me protecting me from anything.
"I got you, don't worry about anything. I'll always protect you okay?"
"Okay." I yawned and I couldn't go back to sleep.
"Hey what time is it?"
"3 in the morning"
"I can't sleep"
He laughed "you wanna kiss me that's why"
"What...no...um no...I just can't sleep!"
I started blushing.
"Mmhmmm" he shifted around a bit so he can see my face.
He was smiling at me, staring into my eyes.
"You know you want to" he grinned sexily and tightened his grip around me.
"Maybeee" I smiled

I put my hand on his chest and I shifted closer to him. We both moved closer, our lips colliding.

My hand moved to behind his head. I shivered when his hand moved to my back, underneath my shirt. I didn't notice my shirt had rolled up a bit while I was sleeping.
He was totally warm, and I, I was always cold. He pulled me more towards him, deepening our kiss.
Then i broke the contact.
"Relax?" I whispered.
He tensed up more and I think he actually tried to relax but he couldn't.
"You are my lover too.." I whispered again.
He looked at something beyond me and he let a breath out. I instantly felt emotion trickle into me. I tried to stay in my same mind and put my walls up. But when I did Phoenix caught me by surprise in another kiss.
My walls came crashing down and I accepted all the emotion, all the good and bad. I felt his relief as he held me. He slid his hand up to the side of my face.
Then he suddenly pushed me to my back by my shoulder, him hovering over me. I mean I was shocked and I had no idea what to do. But he just lowered his body onto mine and gave me never ending kisses. Some were more passionate. He grabbed a bunch full of my hair. I felt the lust pour into me. Just at that moment, in the process of making out, my phone went off vibrating in my pocket. He obviously felt it and began to pull away.
"No," I sighed
I pulled him back towards me with my arms around his neck now. He lowered himself to kiss me again and caressed the side of my face with one hand. I fell into him and I didn't want to leave.
The vibration stopped and Phoenix broke away from me, sitting up.
"Hello?.... Yes this is Phoenix... Oh she's sleeping right now, I'm watching the news"
I mouthed him a what-the-hell-are-you-doing. Who-is-that.
He mouthed the word dad back at me.
Oh shoot. I'm screwed.
I stayed quiet.
I listened carefully so I could hear my dad over the phone.
"Did you take her phone from her?! If she was sleeping next to her phone how did you pick it up!" My dad took every damn thing into consideration.
"I simply came in to check on her to see if she wanted something to eat because she fell asleep out of no where on the couch. And I hear her phone vibrating on the table."
"Can you please wake her up so I can speak to her?"
"Okay but she's asleep"
"Okay tell her to call back as soon as she wakes up."
"Okay."
"Bye" my dad sounded harsh
"Goodbye."
And Phoenix hung up.
I gave him a death stare.
"Hey before you start yelling at me think about how suspicious it would've been if you picked up the phone at three AM saying that you and me were awake watching TV. He would never buy that!"
I took a second to think.
"Okay fine you win."
I plopped myself back on my back and tried going back to sleep.
"Hey!" He called to me.
"What!!" I mumbled into the pillow
"I thought you liked to kiss me at 3 am" he laughed.
"Mmhpphh" I laid completely on my stomach, talking into the pillow. I raised my head a little.
"I sleep.. at 3 am" and I yawned.
He started rubbing my back and I felt the want for him flow into me.
I sighed into my pillow.
His hands crept to my lower back, and he pushed up my shirt a little.
I made another muffled sound but he didn't stop. He continued pushing emotion into me.
His warm hands touched my bare skin.
I flinched as a reaction and I started shivering.
"I won't hurt you. Don't be scared" he repeated.
"Mmmph, I need sleep!" I said raising my head up a little.
"What about our 3 am kiss?"
"Sleep-"
"Okay fine." He removed his hands from my back.
I think I actually relaxed a little. I felt his emotion slowly pour into me. I just tried to go to sleep. I honestly just want some sleep!
I didn't feel like putting my walls up because it took strength to actually keep them up. And I was planning on having a good sleep tonight.
"Phoenix..!"
"Yes lover?"
I turned around to lay on my back so I can see him.
"May I sleep?"
He chuckled "you may not"
My eyes were closing on me and it was fluttering open and shut.
"Phoenix.." I said sleepily
I didn't get a reply and I couldn't see through my now-closed eyes.
"Let me help you sit up" he said softly.
I gave into him. His emotion enveloped me and I didn't want to reject him.
He helped me sit up and I laid my head on his shoulder. He obviously didn't accept that since he lifted my head back up. My eyes were half lidded at this point, and I was going to pass out the second I'd be able to lay down again. I felt his hand grip my face and I couldn't comprehend why. Then I felt the warmth of his lips on my own. I immediately melted into him and he took full control, and advantage. It started out as a soft, loving kiss. Then he pressed harder sending the passion. He made me stay awake for this. I sure as hell was going to enjoy it too. I slid my hands over his shoulders and inched closer to him.
I broke away from his lips and tried to find dominance in the next one. Well that was a fail.
I tried to kiss him with more force but he quickly countered me with just a dash more of emotion.
I fell away from his lips and it's like he took the strength away from me. I rested my head on his chest and closed my eyes.
He helped my back up and to lay down on the pillows properly. I curled up and he covered me with the blanket. I knew I was gonna fall asleep right now. He laid down next to me and put his arms around me. He pulled me into him so my back could be right against his warm muscled chest.
"You may sleep now" he whispered
My eyes closed and I was captured in the darkness.

//I couldn't open my eyes. I felt something touch my feet. Sand? I heard waves clashing. Was I by the beach? I struggled to get my eyes to open but I couldn't so I tried not to panic. I felt eyes on me. Someone was in front of me.
"Who are you! Are you that guy from my last dream?!"
"Oh no... I'm more like his perfect opposite" I heard a male voice speak
"You may open your eyes now" he said
I immediately opened my eyes and saw him. He was wearing a crisp tuxedo and I was on a black sand beach.
"Who are you?" I asked
"I am here talking to you, preparing you. That is all you need to know for now."
"Preparing me for what!" I almost yelled
"For your test... But I'm sorry I must be leaving now. You'll see my brother later don't you worry" and he turned around and walked into the distance disappearing.
"Wait what!" I got no reply.
And then the blackness surrounded me and I felt a throbbing pain in my head. I fell to my knees and covered my face with my hands. When I pulled my hands away I noticed something peculiar about my wrists. I was shocked, my veins were doing some weird pattern on my wrists. //
I opened my eyes. I was still In bed. I rolled over. I was by myself. I crept out of bed and grabbed my phone. It was 5:56. And a bunch of spammed messages from my friend Angie.
There was about 20 to 30 messages and a few calls from her.
I shoved my phone in my pants pocket and slowly tiptoed towards the door. I heard talking. Well just one voice being phoenix's, and I can guess he was on the phone. I listened closely.
"No I told you I'm not!... I can't... No... I have a visitor over... No... Are you not strong enough?... " I couldn't hear who was on the other line.
"No for the millionth time!.. Remember who you're talking to... Yea you should be worried because I'm stronger than I was even in New Orleans, or Santorini...yea I can show you..." He was practically yelling.
I flipped my camera on on my phone and checked how I looked. Eh, could've been worse.
"Lincoln! This is the last time I'm telling you no!"
Who the hell has a name of Lincoln?
I slowly walked out of the bedroom and I made sure I left my phone on the bed.
I saw Phoenix on the far side of the living room by the window. His back was facing me so he didn't even notice me.
He was just yelling at this Lincoln guy.
I quietly approached him and hoped he wouldn't notice me while I was walking.
I worked my way till I was about a foot away from him. He was still yelling at Lincoln and I guess that helped covered up whatever noise I was making.
I put my walls down and I slipped my arms around his waist, hugging him from behind. He didn't look back but he lowered his tone and became a little less tense.
"Lincoln listen, I can't do this right now and you have to understand." Phoenix squeezed my hand.
"Alright, whatever you say Phoenix. But when Violet gets severely injured we'll see who'll coming running back here looking to see if he can help." Well I already hated this Lincoln guy.
"Violet is more powerful than you will ever know. Bye Lincoln."
And Phoenix hung up before hearing anything else. Who was Violet?
I tightened my grip around him a little and he chuckled, obviously exhausted.
"Hey, what are you doing up now?"
"Hugging you." Then an idea popped in my head. "...and waiting for my 6 am kiss" I giggled.
I let go of him when he started moving, to face me. He grabbed both my hands once we had eye contact. He looked exhausted.
"Phoenix you need to rest, how long have you been talking?"
"About half an hour"
"Oh Phoeni-mph"
His lips were so warm on mine.
I wanted to take away his pain, but I couldn't.
I fell into the kiss and he seemed to struggle. He felt tired.
I pulled away.
"Phoenix you need sleep"
"No I'm fine, trust me. I've been through much worse"
"Now."
"No."
I started to pull him and I tried to make my way to his room. I pulled him a good 2 inches and that was it. He laughed at my efforts.
I took a few seconds to break but he quickly tossed me over his shoulder and started walking.
"HEY!"
"Yes?"
"PUT ME DOWN!"
We were already in his bedroom and he plopped me down onto his bed.
