Hello everyone sorry for the long wait, please enjoy the chapter. I'm going to be receiving a lot of writing time this Friday so maybe I'll be able to upload chapter 12 as well :)

Chapter eleven:

That next morning Sarah woke up, before him. Feeling something holding her in place, tightly yet at the same time lovingly. Opening her eyes she saw that it was Jareth who was holding her, a smile graced her lips.

A battle had begun with her head and heart. It was like the scenario with the devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other. Her head was telling her to try to wiggle free from him. Her heart on the other hand, was telling her to stay, wrapped in his strong arms. For that is what she truly wanted.

For the first time in her life, she felt what she has always wanted to feel, always needed to feel. Safe, warm, but most of all loved. Feeling like she truly belonged somewhere, truly wanted by someone.

Unbeknownst to her, Jareth was wide awake. Awaiting to see what she would do. Although what he found out, left him lost for words.

Not wanting to escape this feeling, she decided to ignore what her head was telling her. Snuggling up closer to him, inhaling his scent. Almost swearing this is what heaven felt like, she couldn't get enough of this.

Deciding to break his cover, raising one of his hands he begun to gently run his fingers through her hair. "Good morning precious"

Sarah's head shot up once more and a blush hit her cheeks. "Um...good morning Jareth." Sarah looked down in embarrassment, as her face became an even more red. "I'm sorry for falling asleep on you...I feel bad for preventing you from returning home."

Jareth shook his head, "Sarah, you did nothing of the sort. Honestly if I wanted to leave, I easily could have. Do not be sorry, I enjoyed it." He explained gently to her, causing a smile to appear on her lips.

"I enjoyed it as well"

"Then don't be sorry" Jareth said with a chuckle.

Sarah looked over at the clock, making her eyes grow wide. "Oh no, I'm going to be late!" Trying to get up, Jareth wrapped his arms around her even tighter, making sure she could not move.

"Jareth I have to go to work, let go of me" Sarah said sternly while smiling at him.

"Sorry precious, I don't think I can do that. I am after-all quite attached to you." Jareth replied with narrowed eyes and a devilish grin.

Sarah let out a deep sigh, along with rolling her eyes at this impossible man."You will see me later, don't you remember? We're going to take the children to the underground today." Wiggling her arm free, bringing her hand up to his face, caressing his cheek

"Please Jareth?"

"Looks like you'll just have to take me with you."

"How can I when you wont let go?" Sarah said playfully

"Hmm...Interesting question there precious." He said back causing Sarah to roll her eyes, giving a sigh she said, "Alright, you wont let go? I'll just have to free myself."

"Oh really?" Jareth said while arching one of his brows.

Sarah smiled and slowly laid on top of him, acting like she was going to kiss him. Noticing he was distracted, she quickly rolled off and on to the floor. Quickly standing, "Looks like I win again, your majesty." adding a small fake crusty.

Jareth let out a small sigh, just before giving her a dangerous smile. As he slowly begun to rise from the couch. Sarah decided to take off running.

"Oh no you don't" Jareth called as he begun to run after her.

"Watch me!" Sarah called playfully back to him. As she was running up the stairs, Jareth close behind her.

Making it to her bedroom she quickly shut and locked the door.

"Really Sarah! Do you honestly believe that a locked door is going to keep me out?" Jareth called through the door in a tone Sarah didn't recognize.

It was a mixture of dangerous, fear, playful and with a hint of sexy.

Within seconds Jareth the mighty Goblin King stood in front of her. Much like the first time, five years ago.

Capturing her in his arms.

Sarah screamed and laughed as she tried to wiggle out. Soon she admitted defeat and stood there, smiling happily at him. He was happy to have earned a smile like that from her.

"Whose the victor now, my Sarah?" Jareth asked as he brushed a piece of hair behind her ear.

The way he said 'my Sarah' made her cheeks turn to a light shade of pink and her heart pound.

"You are, my King" Sarah said while mimicking his moves and brushing a stay piece of blonde hair away from his face. Keeping her hand there she brought the other around him to complete the embrace.

Jareth couldn't take this temptation any longer, and before either of them knew it. He had closed the gap between them kissing her. Sarah's eyes went wide in shock, but soon surrendered into the sweet bliss that engulfed them. It was like a small wave of magic that encircled around both him and her.

Closing her eyes she began to kiss him back, raising her hands, running her hand throughout his blonde hair.

Pulling apart both were breathing heavily. Jareth's heart was soaring but at the same time he truly felt, like the villain she had portrayed him as all those years ago.

"Sarah, I'm - "

"Jareth, never apologize for kissing me" Sarah interrupted him as she came back up hungry with the need for more.

"As you wish, my precious Sarah" He breathed against her lips as he too came back just as hungry.

Sarah never wanted this to be over, but it needed to in order for her to get to work. Besides who says that this will be the last time, for this sweet pleasure? Certainly not her.

"Now I really do need to get ready for work. I can't go into work looking like this and especially without brushing out my hair. I'll be out in a few minutes, promise."

Jareth hated the thought of leaving her, but was in understanding of why. Giving her a slight nod he left the room, down the stairs and back into her comfy living room.

A true smile graced his lips, for the first time in thousands of years. Never had he felt so alive and happy. It was as if he's been dead all the way up to this point. Sarah, the love of his life, had broken down all the strong walls he had built over his heart and brought life back into it.
