He looked me over with hooded eyes. Slowly, and with apparent appreciation, he crooked a finger towards me.
"Come and sit dear, I won't bite ...hard"
I Slowly moved towards him, and was surprised when the throne stretched a little- Becoming large enough to fit two people with a little over-lapping.
I pushed his leg off of the arm of the throne, forcing him to sit up. I quickly claimed the seat beside him. He looked slightly affronted, so I couldn't help but grin at him.
"Beautiful and Deviant Eh?" came out out of his mouth, along with his signature smile.
Damn the man, he's just TOO yummy!
"Alright your Majesty"
"Call Me Jareth"
"Fine, Jareth, I have a few requests. They're reasonable, and will lend a sense of normalcy to the entire situation."
"go on" he urged, sounding wary
"You can't use visitation with my brother as blackmail to force me to do what you want"
"alright" he conceded
"you can't hurt us physically, or be emotionally abusive"
"I would Never" Jareth started...
"I'm just setting ground rules, not making accusations" I stated, calming him down. I kept going
"I've been a Dancer, Singer, Musician and Actress for my entire life. Mom told me that you are Excellent at all of the aforementioned activities, so you would make a perfect practice partner."
I looked at him hoping desperately that he wouldn't laugh at me.
"Really Tawny? You wish for me to be of assistance?"he looked rather shocked, but with a touch of amusement. My Favorite part, however, was how he said my name like a silken caress.
"Yes Jareth, I do"oh gods, this is gonna be ...HOT.
"Well then," Sounding very business-like "What kind of dancing have you learned?"
"Ballroom, Irish Step, Tap, Jazz, Lyrical Point and Soft shoe Ballet, Flamenco, and Belly dancing"
"Well Tawny, I can help you out with everything but the last. Although,"he added with a wicked gleam in his eye
"I would be more than happy to serve as an audience"...Bad Tawny,Very Bad Girl!
"Maybe," I responded "But only if you behave yourself" He Smirked again.
"What if I don't want to dearest?"
Oh, Crap. The Voice. I dub this the Jareth wants me to cream my panties, and he's about to get his wish Voice.
"Well Jareth while I appreciate the offer,I won't be able to take you up on it just yet. I've been through a lot sweetie, and I don't want a pity screw. I want to be truly happy, and for it to mean something when I agree.
"And, I will agree Jareth. I just can't turn down a Sweet Sexy guy in leather...at least, not this one."
He looked a little put out, so I stroked his face lightly, delighting in the perfectly smooth feeling of his skin on my fingertips. Gently, I teased.
"you remind me of the man" I started, smiling
"what man?" he responded, a half smile gracing his features.
"The man with the Power" I started singing the lead of the song, and pulled Jareth off of his throne to dance. He was Amazing.
His body was fluid, and moved smoothly like an extraordinarily sexy cross between a Jaguar and a python. He Twirled me around as we sang together. I couldn't tear my eyes away from him no matter how hard I tried. When the song ended, and we had come to a halt, I circled his waist with my arms and pressed my face against his chest.
Pine, Cool Spring Rain, Lightning. That's what he smelled like...Fantastic, alluring and intoxicating.
I closed my eyes to Inhale mire deeply.
It Didn't matter how much I wanted him, I Started to Sob anyway, Shuddering further into his torso
. I finally let myself go, allowed myself to grieve for the last time. I felt his arms encircle my shoulders firmly.
" I miss my mom. Right now, she'd reassure me that I'm doing the right thing, and make me feel safe again."
"Darling girl, you are doing the right thing. I'll never allow any harm to come to you,even by my own hands. And I will miss your mother as well. She had a Beautiful Mind, and the Gargantuan ability tho dream even when the people around her tried to hold her down. She was very Brave, and I Loved her very much."
I Sniffled, hating how pathetic I sounded, and leaned back just enough to see his face.
"Thank you for everything Jareth, I appreciate everything you've done for us tonight."
I stepped back from his embrace, Smiling and went over to the knapsack I had brought, and pulled out a cream colored envelope.
I held it out to him.
