Chapter 12: He loves me, he loves me not

In the dark kingdom king Marcus was sitting in his throne room looking out onto his maze. With a loud thud the nearby doors opened and Claude strode in wiping smudged lipstick from his lips, Marcus laughed "I take it you had a productive evening with that servant girl , did Alicia accept my gift?"

Claude smirked "yes sire she took it without hesitation, although i suspect she wouldn't have been able to resist regardless, the spell you but on it was quite potent even I could feel it".

"Ha ha yes well if her highness proves stubborn I have enchanted the necklace to ensure everything goes to plan, how about the girl does she trust you?" Claude finished withe his handkerchief and smiled as he held it to his nose.

"Yes sire I believe so, I was surprised how easy it was to seduce her",

The king smirked "yes well women are such simple creatures like moths to a flame. But Jareth will be the one who BURNS!"

Later that evening Alicia was looking out her window admiring the beauty of the labyrinth in the moonlight when she heard raised voices below her "Sarah please I'm sorry" she saw Sarah walking towards the Goblin city.

"No Jareth I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I stuck around and watched you marry my best friend and turn me into the fucking third wheel" Jareth grabbed her arm and pulled her close to him which she resisted.

"No Sarah please I love you I want you for my wife Alicia is a mistress in my eyes. She is just a solution to a problem you are the one I want, you are the one I love please stay and talk to me" Sarah fought his grip with tears pooling in her eyes.

"Don't give me that I saw you, looked like way more than just problem solving".

Jareth held her steady lightly stroking the back of her hair "I promise you I will not touch her again, perhaps I was wrong in my choice she is still so young and naive but I couldn't think of any other way to keep you in my life". She looked up at him as the tears began to flow down her cheeks he gently wiped them away, when he opened his palm he revealed that he had turned her tears to crystals.

"Do you remember when we first me? Despite your childish demeanour I fell in love with you almost immediately you were so beautiful" he juggled a crystal ball in front of her eyes which showed her and Jareth dancing in the white marque, something she had not seen for a very long time.

"And my feelings remain unchanged since that day. That girl will provide what I need to keep my kingdom safe and you and I will be together forever" 'These feelings I have will pass i'm sure of it I do not love her I love Sarah I LOVE SARAH!'

Alice felt her heart break when she heard those words but instead of crying she grew angry and balled her fists. They continued their exchange, but Alice had heard enough, and she closed her window.

"He will never love you as he loves her".

She recognised the voice and bowed her head int "your right, I knew it would happen but in my naivety I didn't really believe it" she let out a defeated sigh and turned to see Marcus standing next to the fireplace holding the necklace he had given her.

"Do not weep for him, he does not care... but I do" she walked over to him and welcomed him putting the necklace on her. She fingered the filigree and felt that strange sensation overcome her again.

Marcus placed a hand on her shoulder and slowly his hand glided downwards to her abdomen. She grabbed his hands and with moved them away with a gentle force "please I can't do this...I...".

He grinned and forced his hand further until he found the top of her underwear. She breathed heavily, and his face moved closer to hers "tell me to stop and I will stop" his fingers slid beneath the thin fabric and found their way to her slick folds "but I can feel that you want this" his free arm moved around her waist forcing her still as his fingers worked their magic.

"I know you want me" and without warning he thrust two fingers inside her, as she let out a harsh breath in shock she was quickly silenced by his mouth crashing down on hers.

She tried to resist, but each time she tried to push him away her arms gave up it was like she had no control. And eventually the room began to fall away as she became lost in the magnificent sensations.

When she finally took a moment to look she was no longer in her chambers instead she had been transported to what she could only think was Marcus's room. The walls were as black as night and the bed was covered in red satin, there were candles all around giving a warm Gothic glow.

He pushed her to the nearest wall and continued his assault with his fingers "I can see that impotent fool has left you wanting, he is as useless a husband as he is a king" she moaned louder pushing herself into him wishing that moment would last forever.

Before she could reach her peak Marcus stopped and laughed "oh no not yet I have much more to do to you before we can be truly satisfied". With a quick swoop she was lifted onto the nearby bed, she glided her hands over the red silk and felt herself feeling at home. Marcus laid himself on top of her and began laying kisses on her neck, slowly making his way down he lifted her dress.

He spread her legs with both his hands and lightly glided his fingers along her inner thigh "you are my queen" his kisses got lower and lower until she gasped "oh Marcus what….oh god don't stop" he raised his head and smiled. "I think you are ready for me my dearest" he rested himself between her legs and quickly undone his tight trousers revealing himself to be very well endowed.

Alicia was no longer afraid of what was coming and welcomed him in as she pulled him closer to her. He slowly entered her, savouring the sensations of her tight opening "oh my love you feel divine" he continued his slow movements.

She could not stop herself from moaning. Her voice echoed throughout the hallways and corridors and Marcus grinned in triumph 'yes my little songbird give yourself to me'.

Back in the castle beyond the goblin city.

Hugo and his goblin assistant Mughet where pouring over the weeks royal affairs attempting to organise the long list of grievances and complaints. Noisily a flustered and dishevelled Lydia entered holding a tray of food and wine "good evening my lords I had a feeling you had not yet eaten your supper so I had cook prepare your favourites before I retired for the evening".

The two dropped their papers and Hugo eagerly accepted the tray licking his lips "my my you look positively ravaged my dear what on earth have you been up to" the young maid bashfully attempted to fix her hair.

"Oh nothing I was just with a friend..." Hugo grinned and poured a glass of wine for the two of them.

"Ah a friend I see, my dearest I would not dream of interfering with your affairs but I would caution you a lovely young maiden such as yourself should not give yourself over too easily. You should find someone who truly cares for you and not someone wanting to take advantage of you".

Lydia smiled and gently patted him on the shoulder "such a sweet man you are, do not worry for me I promise you I am fine although I cant say the same for our young queen I do not think she is coping too well with the kings arrangement and with King Marcus advancing on her..."

Hugo choked as he sipped his wine "Marcus has been intimate with the queen?" Lydia shook her head as she took a gulp of her wine regretting bringing up the subject.

"No no she..."

Mughet took a large bite of his food and chuckled "Two kings one queen eh? Lucky girl" Hugo smacked him in the back of the head.

"Do shut up will you, Lydia this is very important I need you to tell me everything about the dark king's interactions with the queen"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Alicia was blinded with lust as Marcus's sweaty body moved in perfect rhythm with hers, the room seemed to get darker and darker until the only light was coming from the candles hanging above the bed. She could see the wild look in his eyes and it began to scare her "Marcus...Marcus please I..." her mind grew cloudy and her voice gave up.

He looked deep into her eyes and all of a sudden his body went stiff and a sound only comparable to a lions growl erupted from deep within his throat. And just like that his sweaty body collapsed beside her. Alicia clutched her breasts and pulled the duvet over her naked body.

Marcus laughed at her shyness and caressed the skin around her necklace and she shuddered "a little late for that my love don't you think?" Alicia chuckled nervously still flustered by what had just transpired.

"I'm just a little cold is all" she scooted closer to him and he wrapped his arms firmly around her.

"Is that better my love? I cannot have my queen shivering" his hold tightened and she kissed him softly on the lips.

"Much better thank you." She ran her fingers across his hairless chest tracing the outline of his perfectly trimmed pecks "I feel like i'm dreaming".

He smiled and kissed her head "maybe yes maybe no, i'm glad to hear you have been dreaming of me, sleep now my love I you will see me again very soon I promise"

She tried to protest but he closed her eyes and she feel into a deep sleep.
