Maturity warning: this chapter gets a bit steamy.
Okay, so here is another chapter today. I hope you enjoy. Review if you would like. I think I will let this be the last chapter for today.
Jareth reappeared in the room that Sarah had been being held in. He waited for Kanol to come for Sarah the morning of the wedding. When Kanol entered anger covered his face at seeing Jareth reclining on the bed. Jareth glanced over and smiled.
"Ah, Kanol, I wondered when you would be coming here to get Sarah." Jareth said standing up.
"What are you doing here, Jareth?" Kanol asked clinching his hands into fists. "You weren't even to know that she was here!"
"Oh, didn't you know that Archirion would hear about what you were doing and tell me?" Jareth replied with a laugh.
"But you couldn't come here unless…" Kanol started then paused.
"Unless she called for me?" Jareth finished for him. "Well wouldn't you know, she did call for me! Now, Kanol, leave Sarah alone! I have already claimed her and she wants nothing to do with you!"
Almost a month passed since she had been returned to her parents' house. She was still visiting with her family and checked in with Kyle for work. As the time passed Sarah kept thinking about Jareth's lips on hers and his arms holding her tightly to his body. Some night she would lay awake thinking about how she wanted to be back in his arms with his lips on hers.
One night, Sarah was awoken by a breeze that came through her open window. She stood up slowly with a sigh and walked over to the window. She looked out into the night for a moment before closing the window. She wore a light green silk nightgown that hugged to her body and enunciated her curves. Turning she almost screamed before a gloved hand covered her mouth.
"Now, Precious." Jareth almost laughed with a smile on his face. "We don't want your family to come rushing in, now do we?"
Sarah shook her head and he lowered his hand from her mouth.
"I see you have been out of work," he said as he glanced around her room with almost boredom.
"Yes, I have." Sarah replied as she watched him look around her room. "But I have money saved away for times like this. After all I got paid well from the last gig I got."
Jareth laughed and looked to her. A genuine smile graced his lips as he looked her over. Noticing where his eyes were she turned and quickly picked up her robe and covered herself with it.
"Is there something I can do for you, Jareth?" Sarah asked as she turned to look at him again.
His eyes sparkled with mastiff as he approached her. Sarah did not move as he came near.
"You can sit with me." Jareth replied and moved with her to her bed.
They sat down, Jareth sitting as close to her as he could get. He shifted some so that he could see her better.
"Sarah, do you realize how beautiful you are?" Jareth asked as he brought a gloved had to her cheek gently.
Sarah closed her eyes as his hand touched her face. She could not help but want his skin to be touching her own and not a gloved hand. She leaned her head into his touch, longing for more.
"Kiss me, Jareth," she softly breathed before even thinking about what she was asking and a smile graced his lips.
He leaned his head to hers and kissed her deeply. Sarah threw her arms around his neck and kissed him in return. She opened her mouth to his tongue when it ran against her lips. She gripped his hair in her hands as the kiss became more passionate and demanding. He gently pushed her back to the bed as he continued to kiss her. She did not fight him, nor did she want to. For just a moment he broke the kiss and pulled his gloves off before touching her face with his bare hand gently. She opened her eyes and looked into his. He brought his lips to her ear and smiled. She shivered as his breath graced her neck.
"If you want me to stop, tell me now!" Jareth whispered into her ear before gently nibbling on her earlobe.
Sarah moaned softly but said nothing to stop him. His hands slowly moved from her face down to her sides and Sarah gasped as they ran over her breasts. He smiled as he looked her in the eyes once again. He moved his hands up again but paused before touching her breasts.
"Do you want me to stop?" he asked searching her eyes.
Should I stop him? She asked herself as she looked up into his searching eyes. I want this. I don't know why but I have wanted this for so long. I don't want this to stop.
She bit her lip for a second before pulling his head down to hers and kissing him deeply. Taking that as a no Jareth smiled and moved over her. He pulled away from her lips and moved down her jaw line to her neck. He gently kissed at her neck as one of his hands moved to one of her breasts. As he started to gently nibble at her neck. He opened up her robe enough to get to her breasts through her silk nightgown. He caught her nipple in his fingers through the silk and started to tease it. Sarah started to gasp and softly moan as he played with her nipple and neck. Her fingers dug deeper into his hair and she held on. As his fingers continued to play with her nipple Jareth took ahold of her neck with his mouth and started sucking. Sarah gasped loudly as she opened her neck up to him more. After he let go of her neck she moved her lips to his and kissed him. He let go of her nipple and she moaned in disappointment. Jareth pulled back and looked down at her with a laugh.
"Patience, Precious." Jareth said at seeing the need for more in her eyes. "Patience!"
Sarah watched him as he removed his shirt and tossed it to the side. She moved her hands to his chest and gently started to run them over his muscles. Jareth paused and smiled as he watched her touch him. After a moment he closed his eyes and marveled in the feeling of her hands on his body. With a deep breath he stopped her.
"Sarah," he said his voice filled with need. "If we continue down this path, there will be no going back to the life you have lived up until now!"
Why am I stopping her? Jareth asked himself as he waited for Sarah to reply. I want her now! But if I don't tell her what is at risk and she finds out that I knew that she would lose everything she would hate me.
He ran a hand through his hair as he waited for her response.
"What do you mean, Jareth?" she asked confusion evident on her face.
He sighed and looked into her eyes again before replying. He stood and turned his back from her.
"I want you, Sarah. When I wrote the play at first I wanted revenge. Then I saw you again and knew that I wanted nothing but you to want me like you are now. But I can't do this to you without you knowing what is truly at risk." Jareth said and turned to her to see she was sitting up on the bed. "If we continue and have sex you won't be able to stay here with your family or other mortals."
"You mean I will have to return to the underground with you?" she asked.
Jareth nodded and waited for her to choose. He so wanted to take her and just be done with it but he could not bring himself to hurt her like that. He wanted her to be sure that this was what she truly wanted.
"Once it is done, there will be no going back, Sarah." Jareth said as he continued to watch her reactions.
"I… Jareth…" Sarah started then paused. "Jareth, do you love me?"
He looked at her for a moment in confusion, caught off guard by her question.
"Sarah, Precious." Jareth said and sat down next to her on the bed.
He brought a hand up to her face and sighed.
"Do you love me?" she asked again. "I have to know. I have to hear you say it!"
"Precious, I have loved you since the first time I laid my eyes upon you!" Jareth replied and kissed her with all that he felt for her.
Sarah wrapped her arms around him and kissed him back her eyes closing. He pulled away and looked to her face again. Her robe hung off her shoulders and he avoided looking down at her full though covered breasts.
"Jareth," she said softly a smile playing at her lips. "I want this but I don't know if I can give up my family and Tsai just to be with you. I love you, with everything I am."
She did not know how much she truly cared for him until the words were out of her lips. Jareth smiled and touched her face again gently.
"I understand." Jareth replied and stood.
He walked over to his shirt and put it on. He covered his hands with the gloves again and turned to look to Sarah.
"I don't want to hurt you, Sarah," he said and walked over to her again. "That is why I told you what would happen if he had continued. I must return to my kingdom now. Call me if you ever need me!"
His voice seemed sad to Sarah's ears and she wanted to take the sadness away but knew that the only way she could do that would be to give up her family and Tsai and have sex with him. He brought a hand to her chin and tilted her face up to him. He gently kissed her lips before releasing her and standing.
"Until next we meet, Precious." Jareth said before disappearing in a shower of glitter.
"Jareth…" she said softly and closed her eyes.
Yes, he gave her the choice. I know you wanted more. Lol. Sorry I didn't feel that I should let you have it all in this chapter. But I wanted to show that Jareth wants Sarah to chose to go with him on her own accord. Review if you like. I would love to hear your input and see what you all think of this chapter. Thanks for reading. Oh and to all who have reviewed that I have not mentioned thanks. I really do love to hear from you all.
