A/N This is a sequel of sorts to my original one shot A Crush so it is a good idea to read that first. has been written in response to a review I had from Shadowkyoko and it has been a nice distraction from my other stories which Yes I am still writing. As always please excuse my poor grammar.
I do not own Labyrinth although it would be nice.

Obsession and Lust

He sat back in his throne, leg resting on the armrest, his crop tapping rhythmically against his thigh. The throne room was filled with noise as goblins laughed, drank ale and generally caused chaos within it. A small group huddled in the corner had gained his interest sometime earlier, it wasn't the fact they had retreated to the furthest corner of the throne room, or the chickens that they had abandoned but the fact they were whispering in an attempt not to attract his attention. Jareth presented an air of indifference as he quietly listened to the small group argue amongst themselves. This wasn't the first time during the day his attention had been caught by this group, he had noticed them that morning huddled close to that scab of a dwarf. He cast his eyes in the opposite direction and continued to listen, it seemed his far from loyal subjects had received a mysterious summons from the lovely Miss Williams, one they intended to answer it would seem but for what reason did she require the idiots?
A faraway look appeared upon the Kings face. Yes, the lovely Sarah, damn girl. She occupied most of his waking hours, invading his thoughts at the most inappropriate moment throughout his day but the night times were far superior. Those dark hours where sleep and dreams invaded both their worlds and brought them far closer than reality ever did. Jareth let out a sigh, why the hell did she have to utter those words, the things they could be doing right this minute if she had only said yes. He could have taught her so much. Silly mortal did she not realise just what she had turned down, the sheer pleasure he could give her would have surpassed any dream she could ever have.
A smile spread across his lips as he thought of Sarah's last dream which he happened to spy upon, it seemed as her body grew and matured so had her mind and the innocent dreams of her youth had been replaced by far more adventurous adult ones, of which he seemed to take a starring role. Jareth shook his head, why did he torture himself in such a way, he should forget her, move on and leave her behind. Yet he couldn't, he readjusted his position on his throne as his pants became slightly tighter.
"Dear Gods I am obsessed" he muttered to no one in particular
That was it he was in the grip of an obsession and was powerless to resist. He was fixated on the girl, now a young woman, the passion he felt for her was nothing like he had experienced before. It was lust, it had to be pure and simple, he had an intense sexual desire and needed to satisfy his appetite. Once the desire was achieved he would be free, surely? The problem was it had been six years and not once had she so much as whispered his name. With a flick of his wrist, a book appeared within his hand and he began to flip through it, pausing briefly on a certain page.
Obsession, Warning signs
Thinking of marriage almost immediately
Well, yes he had thought of that although not immediately he had waited a few hours before asking the girl.
Invading Privacy
He had observed her frequently within his crystals and sat and watched her in his owl form in the park. Well until she had spoken those words.
Following/Stalking
Well, he had just admitted to that already but it was purely for safety reasons.
Jealousy
Yes, he had been jealous, he had sent the dwarf Hogwarth to the bog for kissing the girl. He had gone into an immense rage when he first heard his subjects discussing her impending date. A small smile spread over his lips as he recalled those dates. While he may not have power over her that did not mean he had no power over the pimply faced youths that tried to touch what belonged to him
Ownership
He considered her his, she had always been so. Damn it
He flipped over a few more pages that described many aspects of lust, fixation and desire. All of which he found mirrored his behaviour towards Miss Williams. In his annoyance at the whole situation, he threw the book across the throne room where it collided with an unfortunate goblin called Ramble sending him flying forward with such force he spilt his ale over two others and a rather vigorous fight broke out.
Jareth had been so lost in his internal debate with himself he had failed to notice the group of goblins leave the throne room. Where the devil had they gone, their strange behaviour was intriguing. It was as he pondered this bit of information that he felt the call, his name had been spoken and a large smile crossed his lips at the realisation of whom the caller was.
Jareth appeared in Sarah's bedroom within moments of his name leaving her lips. He stood behind her as she paced back and forth across the floor in front of several of his subject including the group from the throne rooms. He saw the wide-eyed expression on their faces at his sudden appearance. He saw the panic fill the eyes of the dwarf as he uttered a courteous "Majesty" in a hope to alert the girl. Jareth waited patiently for her to also acknowledge his presence.
"Don't look at me like that I can't help it. I think about him all the time; he invades my life constantly. I dream of him every damn night and before you ask no I am not going to tell you about them"
Jareth listened to her ramble on and was amused at the failed attempts of the dwarf to warn the girl of his presence. He leant back and seated himself upon her vanity with his arms crossed and shot a warning glare towards the little scab as Sarah scolded him.
"Hoggle stop interrupting please" Sarah sighed "yes, as I was saying, he is cruel and generous and his obsession with glitter is rather disturbing but he is so alluring, handsome, charming and god damn sexy"
Jareth's eyes grew wide in surprise, his eyebrows shot so far up they were lost within his hairline. Obviously, young Sarah had given him a lot more thought than he realised over their years apart and while he had been fantasising over her in his lust filled state it seemed she had been doing the same. So, she found him handsome, charming and sexy, well well, this could be rather interesting indeed. Jareth smirked as Hoggle huffed in annoyance at Sarahs refusal to listen to him. Jareth mind began to wonder as he thought of the many possible outcomes. Sarah had, although rather unknowingly it seemed called him back into her life, that simple slip of using his name meant that Jareth could now appear before her as and when he wished.
"Well, what I am trying to say is that…. well, it would seem that….. god I fancy the goblin king like made, in fact, I think I am in love with him. Everything about him those eyes of his, the way he moves I know he is a proper arrogant jerk at times but that voice of his just does something to me"
Jareth almost fell off the vanity at her sudden confession, had he heard correctly, did she just state that, she loved him? He noticed the dwarf trying to stifle his laughter at his shocked reaction. He would be bogging him later that was certain. The information she was parting with was utterly priceless. So, the simple sound of his voice was enough, was it, mmm. His smile grew wider, now he just needed to pick his moment. He continued to listen to her trying to explain her feelings away. By now Hoggle had completely given up and it was the fox knights turn to warn her. It seemed he was also having little success. He heard the annoyance enter her voice at being constantly interrupted. Maybe the time had come for him to offer his subjects a little assistance. Pushing himself away from her vanity, he took the few small steps needed to bring himself right behind her. His body now mere centimetres from her, he leant forward inhaling in her beautiful scent. He bent over her shoulder bringing his lips close enough to her ear he could kiss her and he whispered in the most seductive manner possible.
"I believe they are trying to tell you I am stood right behind you"
Jareth straightened himself back up and stepped away waiting for her response. He hadn't enjoyed himself this much in a long time and he was eager to see how she would react.
Sarah glared at her friends, her face now a glowing red colour. She crossed her arms across her chest in a manner similar to that of Jareth. He could hear her cursing repeatedly under her breath as she continued to stare forward.
"You could have warned me" she hissed at Hoggle
Hoggle began to stammer and mutter about the fact that he had tried and she just did not listen. She still faced away from him and he took the time to study her at close range. She had kept that beautiful long hair of hers resisting the temptation to have it shortened like so many of her age group. Her body had never been overweight but as a woman, her curves were more defined and her waist it seemed had slimmed slightly more. How had her face changed he wondered while he waited for her to acknowledge his presence?
"Well, they did try precious, unfortunately, you refused to listen"
Sarah finally spun around and locked him with an angry glare. Her arms fell to her sides and her hands clenched into tight fists as she took in the arrogant smirk that adorned his lips. He quickly noticed just how beautiful she had become and how those eyes of emerald green still tore right into him.
"Why are you even here? How are you here? I don't recall wishing anyone away"
Sarah watched him closely as he moved towards her, she drank in every ounce of him as her eyes roamed over his body from the black boots that finished at his knee up over the grey breeches that fitted his firm thighs like a second skin, she tried desperately not to focus on his manhood but found it utterly impossible not to, surely he isn't that well-proportioned she thought, at this point her inner voice decided to rear its head begging to be allowed to find out. Sarah ignored it and continued to roam Jareth's body with her eyes, she swept up his white poet's shirt and onto the medallion that sat upon his bare chest, I bet his skin is lovely and soft her inner voice commented once more, Sarah scowled at it. Slowly her eyes reached his face, his lips drawn into a small smile seemed to call to her and o how she wanted to kiss them, yes please, her inner voice piped up, go for it girl. Finally, Sarah's eyes met Jareth's, those mismatched eyes that sparkled with mischief.
Jareth's amusement grew as he watched Sarah slowly devour every part of his body with her eyes. Here she was mere centimetres away, not even touching him yet he found himself reacting to her in the most delightful way. Yes, it was lust and soon you will have her and your appetite will be satisfied the little voice told him. But would it, she had said she loved him? Did she mean it?
"Like what you see precious"
He watched her turn an even deeper shade of red as she pulled her eyes away from his. He heard the small snigger behind her reminding him of the audience that sat in her bedroom.
"Castle NOW" he ordered and every single subject disappeared immediately from view "That is much better"
"Hey, you can't do that, I invited them here" Sarah protested
"They are my subjects Sarah dearest and I have no intention of discussing my private affairs in front of that bundle of misfits"
"There is nothing to discuss"
"O but I think there is" he moved himself even closer towards her "In fact I think there is rather a lot to discuss regarding the fact that you find me, how did you phrase it now" he placed his finger against his lips in a pretence of contemplation "are yes that was it, God damn sexy"
"O God" Sarah placed her head in her hands and fell backwards onto her bed. Almost immediately she realised the mistake she had made but it was too late as the Goblin King was perched above her. His eyes had dilated slightly and she could feel every part of his body as it rested just slightly on her own.
"It would seem, my darling that we are both suffering the same affliction here and can offer each other a simple cure"
Sarah stared up at him, her inner voice begging her to simply grab his shirt and pull him down upon her.
"Really and exactly what is that"
"Well, I believe we are both infatuated, suffering a simple case of lust and desire and to free ourselves of such an infliction we simply need to satisfy the beast"
It was taking every ounce of willpower he possessed not to ravish this girl, he could smell her arousal and it only fuelled his own. He could see her thinking over his words but he had simply waited long enough. Jareth quickly bent his head down placing his lips against Sarahs, as she gasped in surprise he took the opportunity to slip his tongue into her mouth. He felt her stiffen just for a second before she began to respond to his kiss he felt her tangle her hands in his shirt and pull him closure.
Desire, just that not love. As the king continued to devour her lips with a frenzied passion Sarah felt his hands slip up her body. Her inner voice began to sing and dance as every fantasy she had ever thought of was beginning to come true. Jareth removed his lips from hers and gazed into her lust filled eyes, yes, simply indulge the obsession and it would be over, he would be free. He placed his lips against her neck and began to trail small kisses down towards her collarbone, he heard the soft moans that began to leave her throat encouraging him to continue. He slid his hands along her abdomen and down into the waistband of her trousers. Suddenly he felt her push against him
"Stop, stop, we can't, I can't"
Jareth removed his hand and leant up to face her
"Why ever not, we are certainly both old enough and fully consenting. Sarah, precious this lust filled obsession we have with each other will not just go away by itself we need to satisfy the desire within" he watched as she turned red as the flush crept up her neck and into her cheeks. She lowered her eyes away from his. He found her reaction to him most delightful.
"How can you be so sure that it's that and not" she paused
"Not what," Jareth said "Love, come now Sarah we spent ten hours in each other's company, in fact, less really you spent more with Higgle"
"Hoggle"
"Yes, him" Jareth replied "I have considered this; I am Fae we don't love and what do you base your assumption on. You, yourself stated you thought it was a crush"
Sensing the hesitation in her Jareth moved back in and captured her lips once more, his inner voice cheering loudly. He had waited such a long time for this moment, he had played it out in so many delicious ways. The frustration he had inflicted upon himself had been almost painful and now he could finally release it.
Feeling Sarah once more pushing hard against his chest to remove him from her body he paused, irritation now creeping into his voice.
"What now women"
"We can't do this, I can't"
"Why the hell not" Jareth temper was beginning to grow as his frustration built
"Because" Sarah paused "Because" she turned a deeper shade of red as she brought her eyes up to meet his. She swallowed and took a deep breath before continuing "I have never done it before"
Jareth froze and immediately stood up, had he just heard her correctly. She had been on numerous dates; some had gained his interference of course but others he had not known of until after the event. He glanced at Sarah who now sat up on her bed nervously twisting her fingers into the blanket, her eyes downcast towards the floor to avoid his gaze. He did not know what to say, he needed to think about this.
"I will return later precious"
Sarah's head shot up at his words and she watched as he faded from her room. Sarah picked up her cushion and threw it at the space where Jareth had just stood.
"Way to go Goblin King" Sarah hissed before dropping back onto her bed feeling extremely frustrated. Why did she stop him, she should have just kept her big mouth shut? But he would have known, after all, someone like him would have had plenty of experience. Sarah's inner voice was screaming at her, didn't he say he would be back. Well, he better hurry or she was taking matters into her own hands.
A/N This is fun I will continue it I think but need to finish my others first
