Sarah sat in the almost deserted coffee shop a large mug cocooned within her hands and her gaze fixed towards the main door while her mind drifted. She had tried everything, cold showers, long walk, reading and any other distraction she could think of. She had become so desperate to get him out of her mind she had even phoned Karen for a 'girly chat' ending with a 'girly shopping trip' resulting in a lot of awkward questions, it seemed Karen was a lot more astute than Sarah gave her credit for. neither of these had helped and had merely left a rather large dent in her finances. Then how could she expect anything to help when the image filled her mind as soon as she walked in her room of him pinning her to the mattress, his body pressed against hers, even though she had washed the bedding his scent still clung to it. Why the hell did he have to kiss her? because if she had wanted him before she wanted him a whole lot more now.

"It would seem, my darling that we are both suffering the same affliction here and can offer each other a simple cure"

The words swam in her head, you are certainly suffering something, her inner voice piped up, sexual frustration, just call him already.

"No damn way", Sarah hissed, "he walked out on me". She looked back at the steaming mug in front of her with its layers of whipped cream, marshmallows and chocolate sprinkles. Diabetes waiting to happen wrapped in a mug.

"The man is like a drug and I'm completely addicted" she mumbled to herself yes so go get a fix already her inner voice shouted.

Feeling someone else watching her Sarah lifted her head up. Her eyes met those of a young woman of a similar age, her blonde hair streaked with purple and blue tones cut just past her shoulders, Sam flopped into the chair opposite her with a large grin. Her eyes falling on the large mug.

"Shit, this is serious stuff if you have ordered large hot chocolate with all the trimmings "Sam leant forward "Come on, you don't text me for nothing, spill girlfriend, who is he, where did you meet, why do I not know him already"

Sam s smile faded slightly at the uncertain look on Sarahs face "fuck what has he done?"

Sitting further back in her large leather chair Sarah sighed deeply, she had called Sam after everything else had failed. Sam was the one person who would listen to the whole story, although she would leave out the fact the guy was a magical Fae King from another realm. Sam would have an answer, she was sure of it. Sam went through guys faster than most people went through a bag of sweets. They had met in this very place six years ago, two days after her return from the Labyrinth and she had been sat with the same drink and possibly the same expression on her face when Sam had walked in looking as lost and lonely as she did, an instant friendship had blossomed. They had each gone over every detail of their individual predicaments, the result being Sam saying "Fuck them, their loss" and Sarah bursting into laughter.

Sarah began her tail with a few minor points missing. Like instead of it being a dwarf, fox terrier and the other inhabitants of the Goblin Kingdom that she had been confiding in when he had overheard, they were simply just some friends.

"So, let me get this straight "Sam said taking a quick sip of the skinny Latte "This guy, the same guy you had a major thing for at fifteen, who sent your hormones soaring sky high, who is older than you are. Who we spent hours discussing and concluding that he was too old and it was simply too complicated and a misunderstanding on your part. Hears you saying how you still fancy the shit out of him, gets rid of the rest of the group, has you just where you want him to have you" Sam grins" Then just gets up and puff he's gone"

"Yep "Sarah replied "Puff gone just like that"

Sam's eyes narrowed while watching Sarah closely "What did you say"

"Nothing really" Sarah began to fidget in her seat and turned her eyes back to the chocolate drink "Well, only that he was the first"

"SARAH, have I taught you nothing. There is a time to tell a guy things and right at the moment he is about to devour you, just like you want is definitely not it. Certainly, a way to kill the moment. Although I have told you numerous times virginity is over rated. Hell, most guys would be thrilled to be the first, in fact, most guys wear it like a badge of honour"

"Exactly, yet puff gone he said he would be back. "

Sam lapsed into silence and sipped the drink while thinking the whole situation through. Studying Sarah for quite a long time. It had been some time since she had seen her friend in such a state over a guy, in fact she had only seen her in this state once before over exactly the same guy.

"My god, you have been saving yourself for him, That's why you always backed off from the guys in college. You really have it bad for this guy don't you?"

I can't stop thinking about him and trust me I have tried. It's like he is the only one that can fully satisfy me and all I have done so far is kiss him. Let me tell you Sam, no one has ever kissed me like that before"

"You want this guy right"

"Yes" You have no idea how much her inner voice said

"And you scared him off with your pure as snow speech"

"Yep"

"Right well the way I see it is this. You have two choices. One, make him think you are not that bothered and find some other guy. a substitute Two, drive him crazy with desire and seduce the bastard"

Sarah burst into fits of laughter at Sam's straight forward approach

"In fact, you could do both, together if you wanted and with me on your side well, what could go wrong"

Sarah's inner voice gave an almighty cheer and began to dance on the table screaming look out King I'm coming for you.

Arriving back in the throne room Jareth sent the first goblin to cross his path flying with pin point accuracy out of the window. He had been so close, he had her there beneath him and by Danu, it felt so good. Her body, he could feel it wanting him, then she had to go and say that. Why, if she had told him afterwards then he would have been unable to do anything, it would have been too late. What college student at the age of twenty-one has their virtue still intact anyway. His inner voice complained, surely during all those drunken parties and fumbles in dark corners she could have. The image of Sarah wrapped in the arms of one of her previous dates flashed into his mind and his anger sored. Gods be damned he had interfered but had never stopped her.

The small sniggers and various other noises from the far corner of the throne room drew his attention. Many goblins were crouched together, Ramble had a bunch of what looked like dead flowers and weeds in his hand, another had what looked like a curtain attached to its head and another wrapped around it like a toga

"What in tarnation are they up to now" Jareth mumbled pinching the bridge of his nose

"No idea but they have been like that for the past half hour and entirely entertaining"

Jareth glanced over his shoulder to find the elegant form of Drake casually lay across his throne

"Lost your way to your own throne have you, Drake"

"No just find yours a lot more comfortable"

"Eeeeewwww, I aints doing that" Ramble snorted and the other goblins began to snigger and fall about the floor.

Jareth and Drake turned their heads to the small gathering in the corner Now intrigued as to exactly what they were fascinated by Jareth stepped over to the group

"Whys he eat her face," Bigget asked

Jareth immediately saw what they were referring to and as he reached out to grab the offending item another hand grasped it before him. Drake burst into fits of laughter

"Now Jareth you know better than to leave such sensitive material lying around especially where there are impressionable minds" Drake Laughed "Just be glad they are still on the first chapters concerning courtship, I would hate to see the carnage if they had moved onto the chapters near the back"

There was an audible groan from the gathered crowd as Drake waved the book in the air.

"If you are desperate enough to use this damn thing you need a distraction"

Jareth slumped into his now vacant throne tapping his riding crop against his thigh a lot harder than he normally would. Damn right he needed a distraction but he had tried so many times. He had attended every court function possible, horse riding, terrorizing that little scab of a dwarf. None of that had worked then and now he had felt her beneath him, tasted her sweet lips. A load growl left Jareth lips and he slapped his free hand against his forehead.

Drake narrowed his eyes at his friend "Wow, you have it bad. So out with it, which delightful Lady of the court has your attention. Not seen you like this since the little mortal girl turned you down" He saw the flash in Jareth's eyes and groaned "Please tell me it is not her?"

Jareth smirked up at his friend who stood towering over him with his arms crossed across his chest and a stern look upon his face. Seeing their chance Ramble and the group crept across the floor towards the distracted Drake, their eyes locked to the book that dangled loosely from his hand.

"I thought we agreed to forget the girl"

"That was before said girl spoke my name then announced to several of my subjects how much she wanted me, in fact, I believe she described me as god damn sexy" Jareth's grin grew even wider "She even declared her love for me although I have since rectified her understanding of that"

"I see, so why are you here mopping and not their devouring"

"Because, as things began to get interesting and the lovely Sarah was wriggling in the most delightful way beneath me, she decided to inform me how inexperienced in that particular area she actually is"

"And I see little problem there, I am sure you are more than capable of enhancing her limited knowledge. In fact, I am more than sure you would delight in the role of teacher"

"Quite so, except, her limited knowledge is no knowledge at all, completely innocent and untouched by mortal or fae"

"O shit, now that really complicates things" Drake leant back against the wall "But you still want her"

"Damn right and I will have her, then I can move on"

"Not if you're her first you can't, she will be yours for eternity, if you think the desire she has now is bad it will be nothing to how she will be affected after"

"Well do you have a solution"

"I have two actually, first forget the girl, go to court or go above, find a girl who resembles her in some way and forget her, or two, seduce the girl and be done with it, hang the consequences"

Jareth sat up straight, maybe Drake had a point, he hadn't tried a replica, it might just work. Well if it didn't he would have fun trying.

"In fact, I know just the place" Drake smiled handing a paper to Jareth

The goblins chose that moment to strike, they launched themselves towards Drake sending him flying into Jareth's lap before racing out of the throne room waving the book and cheering loudly. The remaining goblins in the throne room began to snigger at the sight of Drake falling to the floor as a furious Jareth jumped to his feet.

Jareth flicked his wrist and the book immediately appeared in his hand. Seconds later a large splash was heard from the direction of the bog of stench. He held his hand out to Drake to assist him up from the floor. Before Jareth had the chance to release him he heard Sarah utter his name and both were pulled from the underground to the above.

Sam and Sarah sat in silence both absorbed in their own thoughts. Sam, now on her second coffee tried to figure things out.

"This guy is certainly a strange one. Most guys jump at the chance to deflower the maiden" Sam stated "and you are definitely desirable" Sam's brow furrowed "Hey, no chance this guy is, you know?"

"Know what," Sarah asked placing her fingers into the thick cream and rescuing a drowning marshmallow before depositing it into her mouth.

"Gay"

Sarah began to splutter and choke. Sam sat there sipping her drink while watching her friend with little concern as she struggled to regulate her breathing.

"Jareth" Sarah sniggered "Jareth may be many things but I am sure Gay is definitely not one of them"

Sarah placed her finger into the cream once more, as she moved it towards her mouth she felt a hand encircle her wrist and looked up to find her finger in Jareth's mouth as he removed the cream. A Large smirk spread across his face as he watched Sarah's face turn crimson. Sam sat speechless watching the exchange as she eyed up the man who seemed to have appeared from nowhere. Her eyes danced over him. She had no doubt that this guy was the one Sarah had been talking about. His blond hair, hung down over his shoulders, while his clothing although modern seemed to cling to his body in an unnatural way.

Jareth leant down placing his lips next to Sarahs ear

"Trust me darling I am definitely not gay" Jareth whispered "And am only too happy to prove the point"

Sarah's mouth fell open as she watched his gloved finger scoop up more of the cream. Her eyes followed his every movement as he sucked the mixture from his fingers

"Utterly delightful, light and just sweet enough." He said "I am sure you taste as divine, precious"

Sam sat quietly watching the display, she had to give this guy due credit, he certainly knew how the whole seduction game worked. It also explained Sarahs obsession with skinny blond guys during their college years. Sam was now trying desperately to hold back the laughter as she observed the shock on Sarah's face It quickly died away as she felt a presence behind her and two hands slide down her arms as she tilted her head ready to give this person a piece of her mind her eyes met two deep blue ones and before she could move warm lips brushed hers causing her whole body to tingle. Sam sat in stunned silence as the stranger brought his lips to her ear.

"Care to accompany me in observing this little game my pet"

Sam was rendered immobile and speechless as the stranger released her and placed two tickets onto the table

"Be here later, if you wish to enjoy the fireworks" His voice was smooth, deep and seductive.

"Drake, shall we" Jareth said as he scooped a marshmallow from Sarahs drink and placed it into his mouth before briefly kissing her.

"Later precious"

Both girls watched open mouthed as Jareth and Drake moved with grace around the tables and out of the coffee shop. Minutes passed before Sam turned back towards Sarah

"Holy shit girl, you are in deep trouble and who the hell was that"

Sarah slumped into her chair and groaned loudly deciding to just answer honestly.

"That was the King of the Goblins and I have no idea who the Drake guy with him is"

"Well, whoever he is he, with a body like that he definitely isn't a goblin" Sam replied smiling

Sam picked up the tickets left by Drake, once she had read it she handed to Sarah. The Club mentioned on the front both girls knew although they had never ventured into it. Fantasia was the type of exclusive place you visited by invitation only and tonight they had both received just that.

"Looks like you have jumped into the big league and you won't need a replacement after all. Once I have finished getting you ready tonight, that tight clothed smug get will be begging you to take him to bed and don't worry I will give you a few pointers to get you started" Sarah was about to protest when Sam waved a finger back and forth in front of her face "Tut, tut, Miss Williams, don't you dare try and back out now, You started this."

"I am so done for" Sarah groaned.

"Yep but you will love every minute" Sam smiled

The hot chocolate now holding little appeal Sarah reached down to retrieve her bag from the floor, she paused as her fingers encountered something solid. Pulling her gaze from Sam she looked down to where her fingers now rested against a leather bound book. Sarah furrowed her brow, where had it come from. She wrapped her fingers around it and lifted onto the table the pages falling open as she did so.

INTOXICATION

Intoxication can come in many forms but will produce similar feelings. Light headedness, a feeling of bliss and happiness

I am right the man is a drug and I am intoxicated Sarah mumbled

To stimulate or excite

"Well yes, he certain did that", she had never felt so excited by the mere touch from someone. Her mind filled with the image of Jareth pressed against her, the feeling of his lips as he kissed her, the warmth of his mouth as he removed the cream from her finger.

Provocative, arousing sexual desire or interest

He was definitely provocative and as for sexual desire, the man sent her libido into overdrive.

Sam intrigued by Sarahs reaction to a mere book leant forward and spun the book round to face her while continuing to read.

THE LURE

Tempt, entice, attract, persuade.

The lure can come in any form, a gift or even a promise or suggestion

Sam slammed the book shut her eyes wide and staring straight at Sarah

"Where did you get this"

"Me, I didn't get it anywhere it was on the floor"

The lettering on the book glistened unnaturally in the dull light Rules and guidance governing the game of Enticement

"That crafty bastard" Sarah hissed "He has been using this"

"Sarah that guy, King, whatever he is has far more experience at playing the game than either you or I" a sinister smile spread over Sam's face as she tapped the book "this might just be the upper hand we need. It might even give us the answer to why he backed off so quick"

"Maybe" Sarah said grabbing the book and placing it into her bag "But right now this place is closing and we have a night out to prepare for"

"Yes, and it has just got a whole lot more interesting"
