Chapter 4: Gift

After a fulfilling meal Sarah had returned to her room for a nap. It was a strange habit of hers to fall asleep after she ate. Lying on the top of the sheets she grabbed a pillow and dozed off. And dreamed.

"Just let me rule you, and you can have everything you want." Jareth held out his crystal for the first time. The look in his eyes showed pure desperation, "Just love me, fear me, do as I say and I will be your slave."

It would be an offer she accepted.

Jareth sat in his throne again lounged back and nearly asleep himself.

"Uh. Sire." Hoggle slowly walked in.

"WHAT HOG BRAIN!?!" screamed Jareth jerking up.

"I was just wonderin' are you gonna tell the little lady the other reason you brought her here."

"What does it matter to you?"

"Well I'm afraid if you don't tell her soon, it might come back to bite you."

"And now you are concerned about me? That's a first for you Higgle."

"Hoggle."

"What ever." huffed Jareth, "I'll let her know when the time is right, so you just continue your job as a servant and leave the rest to me. Okay?"

"There's only one question I've gotta ask." said Hoggle.

"What?" asked Jareth rolling his eyes.

"What are you gonna do if she says no?"

"She won't. Promise. I mean we love each other enough. I would be unlike her to say no."

"Just be careful sire."

"Look Hog Head just go back to work."

"Yes sire."

Hoggle then started walking out the room "stuck up. No good for nuthin-"

"What was that?"

"Uh nothing sire."

"Oh I thought I was hearing you say, I can't wait to be the Prince of Stench."

"No sire." the dwarf then sighed as he walked out of the throne room.

*dreaming*

The Goblin King had Sarah with him on the small black couch in her room.

"Jareth…."

"Shhh…." his fingers lightly grazed her neck right before pulling her into a kiss.

"Let's not carry this too far." Sarah managed to say.

Jareth leaned into her ear, "If I go to far, just let me know. I won't do any to hurt you."

He then started kissing her down her neck. "Oh, Jareth."

When Sarah called his name it sent lighting through her body. He leaned her back further on the couch, "Sarah."

Jareth ran his hand down her side causing her to arch against him.

"I…"

The goblin king gave her a deepened kiss as she wrapped her hands around his neck. She felt hesitant when she realized he wanted the kiss deeper, so she allowed. Their kissing started short just allowing little access for their tongues, then it frenzied. Soon their tongues were dancing inside each others mouth. She never would have believed he tasted so sweet.

Jareth occasionally bit her bottom lip to make her moan his name. She wanted him and he knew it.

Then Jareth slightly started to unbutton her blouse. With each snap she turned gaze to the ceiling higher. She now laid there with an open blouse that exposed her blemish free skin and a black bra.

Jareth started running kisses down her neck again and trailing them to her stomach. She arched again causing his blood to boil.

"Please…"

"Am I going too far?" asked Jareth lifting up.

"No. I want more."

Jareth smiled showing his teeth. "Yes. My Love."

Sarah closed her eyes as she felt him scrape his teeth slightly against her skin as he worked his way back up to her face.

"I've go to tell you something, Sarah."

"What?"

"Wake up."

"Huh?"

"SARAH WAKE UP!"

Sarah's eyes shot open to see the white canopy.

"Sarah? Finally you are up."

She turned her head to see Jareth standing at the side of the bed.

"Oh. Hey." Sarah sighed a bit from the adrenaline rush she had from the dream she had.

"You okay?'

"Yeah. Still tired I guess."

"Well, I've got something for you." said Jareth holding a crystal in front of him and then putting it behind his back.

Sarah sat up, "What is it?"

Jareth smirked, "I thought you'd like to have a pet, so."

"Mew." Jareth then pulled out a small black kitten with a white patch of fur on its chest.

"It's about two month's old." said Jareth, "Her name is Starburst."

"Awww….She's so adorable." Sarah reached out and picked the kitten up from Jareth.

She snuggled it to her, "Mew."

"She seems to like you." Jareth smiled.

"Oh thank you." Sarah reached and kissed Jareth, "I love it."

"Mew. Mew. Mew"

"There. There. Starburst it's okay."

The black kitten snuggled to her and began to purr.
