Ch. 4
Sarah cringed she was a virgin but she didn't want his Royal Pain in the ass to know that. He already had some kind of control over her body's responses. The last thing she needed was him to know just how inexperienced she really was.
"What? No, that's ridiculous. Who ever heard of a 22 year old virgin?" She yelped. Sarah tried to put on a confident façade to disguise the fact that her innocence was still intact but apparently she failed, miserably.
Jareth began to laugh, and not his normal condescending chuckle. Oh no. He let out a hyena's roar clutching his sides. He brought a whole new meaning to the letters LOL. He tried to contain it but he couldn't. His Sarah, his precious perfectly pig-headedSarah, was untouched. Over the years he had been nearly eaten alive with jealousy of her boyfriends; the ones he would see her snogging as if her life depended on it, but he always left before he could witness her going any farther.
He wouldn't have been able to take seeing her participate in such an intimate act with another man. Not when she belonged to him and him alone. She tried to deny it, but he could see the truth all over her face. She was pure; he would be the first and only to taste her to enjoy the haven of her body. It would become his own personal playground; he would make sure of that. His mirth and inner musings were abruptly cut off when he was suddenly hit in the face with a dainty slipper. That stopped his laughter immediately suddenly his anger was back in full force.
"How dare you!" The Goblin King bellowed.
Sarah had no idea what had come over her. She just couldn't take it anymore; she had to find a way to shut him up and all she could think to do was throw her shoe at him. He'd discoveredone of her most private and embarrassing secrets and he just laughed at her because of it. Robert was the only other person to know for sure she had never slept (as in have sex) with anyone before. He had been supportive and reassuring telling her it didn't matter to him and she could come to him when she was ready. And here the Goblin King was laughing like it was the first time he had ever heard a joke, a bad one at that.
"How dare I? How dare you! I admit it; I'm a virgin. So what...How can you justify ridiculing my personal choices...and so what. Just because I don't want to be poked by every Tom, Dick, and Harry out there doesn't mean I am the butt of some kind of joke!" She screamed. Jareth burst into laughter once again.
"What! Why are you still laughing at me? I don't understand what is so funny." She asked exasperated.
"Oh, precious, replay your last few sentences and you will see what is so funny." Jareth managed to get out after a minute or two.
Sarah looked back on their "conversation" and the word "poked" and the names "Dick and Harry" came back to her. She then joined the king in his laughter.
