Chapter 9

DISCLAIMER! I OWN NOTHING CALLED LABYRINTH!

AN: Alrighty then. I am so proud! I finally got around to drawing a character from my own book! Ok sorry don't destroy me. Yes, it has been 2 whole weeks. Sorry. So without further ado: HERE'S THE NEXT CHAPTER!

I stared at the door; hand on the crystal door knob listening to Jareth rant to someone who sounded strangely like Ryan. Taking a deep, shaky breath I knocked and waited for the "Enter" That signaled his preparedness to speak to me.

Turning the knob I entered the room, well aware of his appraising gaze upon my figure. His lips parted slightly as he stared in awe. I was aware my lips were parted also and the fact that I was staring at him. He looked handsome in a baggy poets shirt with a plunging neckline, tight breeches that left next to nothing to the imagination, and polished black leather riding boots that if one would only look one could see their reflection. As always, his feathery golden hair spiked wildly in every direction, creating a halo around his head. He looked enchanting.

"Jareth" my chest swelled with pride at how calm I sounded. "Why is it that you brought me here?"

He looked at me for a moment more "Sarah" I shivered, he said my name in a way that made it sound like a caress "You my dear, wished yourself away to me. You are mine."

"So I've heard. But we both know that's not the only reason I'm here." My eyes began to wander about the study, taking in its quiet elegance. "Is it?" I finished eyes after finishing a circuit of the room came to rest on his blue and brown ones.

He sighed "No it is not. But it is of no consequence why you are here." His stormy eyes flashed dangerously, daring me to pursue the subject.

Defiantly, wanting an adventure, I accepted his silent challenge. "Oh but it is my dear." I mocked his British accent.

He flinched at having his words and accent thrown in his face. I stood stock still, eyes trained on him as he unfolded his body from the chair. Jareth then prowled over to where I was standing a wicked grin gracing his face, shooting chills down my spine.

He must have seen me shiver because he then teased "Did a goose walk over your grave?" I shook my head signaling no "Ah then Sarah mine I suppose you are scared of me?"

I glared at him only succeeding in drawing a long chuckle from him. "So I'm right? The great Sarah Williams is afraid of me?" I held my silence knowing he would just turn anything I said against me.

Whilst we were trading verbal jabs at each other three things escaped my notice. One, I had totally forgotten what I'd come in here for. Two I failed to notice the shadowy corner of the room that a figure stood in, enshrouded in darkness. Last I, lost in thought failed to notice Jareth's arm had snaked its way, entwining my waist, pulling me against his chest.

By the time these discoveries were made the last one over shadowed all of them. My breath started to come in short gasps, my neck went limp making my head fall back on his exposed chest, hairless and smooth but muscular and well toned, his scent assaulted my senses, he smelled spicy, and dark. Like a meadow under the full moon. My knees turned to jelly and he caught me as I fell, picking me up bridal style.

His full lips parted in a smirk as he looked at me. "A penny for your thoughts?" my voice came out a husky whisper.

His shoulders rose and fell rapidly in a silent chortle "Oh, my thoughts are worth much more to me than that!" his voice was also a whisper. His eyes glinted and we were back in my room, gingerly he lowered me back to my bed. He tarried for a moment longer before turning and disappearing in a cloud of glitter. My heart constricted with loss before registering the fact that consciousness was fleeing. Black dots danced in my vision, mesmerizing me until finally, I was lulled into a deep sleep.
