Disclaimer- I own nothing Labyrinth...as always.

Sarah looked at Jareth, her tired green gaze widening. "Literally?" She whispered, nuzzling his neck slightly, delighting in the smell of him. Sarah had come close to losing herself, now, she felt as though she was entitled to a night of close contact with her love. Even if he could not love her back. She watched as Jareth sighed, his wonderful chest rising and falling just as gracefully as he walked. She listening to his wild heart, just as wild as hers now was. She delighted in the steady rhythm closing her eyes, waiting for him to continue.

"A soft hearted boy cannot rule a kingdom such as this Sarah. He cannot control the Labyrinth, bend it to his will." This caught Sarah's full attention.

She leaned up, the blanket still over her reddened face. "You didn't make the Labyrinth?" She asked, resting her chin on his chest. She almost purred as he ran his fingers through her hair and down her back. She felt a comfortable warmth flood into the skin that he touched, relaxing her.

"No, the Labyrinth is a living, breathing entity, feeding off of the energy of those that enter it. Why do you think you needed to be stronger, or even a goblin to survive here?" He smirked. Sarah found herself almost liking the familiar action. "Mortal Sarah, they may be strong, but their hearts," He paused looking into her eyes, looking at her Fae heart. "They cannot survive in a realm such as this, not for long."

Sarah nodded her understanding. She put her arm around his middle, taking a deep breath which led into a yawn. "I should let you sleep." Sarah shook her head as she finished the tired gesture.

"I have no wish to sleep." She said in a quiet voice, smiling slightly at him.

Jareth raised a fine eyebrow. "You are tired Sarah, you've been through quite a bit tonight. Another change in fact." He rested his hand on the top of her head. Truth be told, sleep was also the last thing on his mind. He was delighted at the sudden change in her. He knew the reason; he could read it in her mind. She had almost been lost to him, and it had scared her. Jareth closed his eyes, leaning his head back for a moment. He listened to her heart, he looked at the organ. There was the smallest fleck of ice embedded there. Her heart had once again been enchanted, though he did not think it an improvement.

"And there is a small piece missing from your heart." She whispered. Jareth opened his eyes and nodded. He knew this to be true. She had taken from him a burden that he had not wished to share. "Why did you do it? Why would you change such a beautiful heart?" She asked, leaning her cheek on his chest, her hair covering his pale skin in glorious softness. He ran his gloved hands through the softness, not surprised when his gloves seemed to evaporate, leaving his hands bare. When his hand touched her back, it was heated flesh that met with his fingers.

"Sarah?" He looked at her, the brightness of her green eyes, even in the dark shocking him.

"Love me Jareth."

Sarah's gaze remained steady. She noted the pause in his caressing fingers. His eyes searched her face, her mind for a hint of doubt in her words. He wouldn't find any. She had waited so long for him to come to her, as he truly was. His courtiers need not know, his kingdom need not know. She wanted him tonight, all of him. In the purest way, in the most animalistic way known to all beings throughout the realms. She needed him.

He brought his bare hand to her chin, pulling her forward. "Come to me." He whispered. She smiled when the choker around her neck didn't move. It wasn't a command. She raised herself on her elbow, pulling her body forward. She stopped above his face, his handsome, alluring face. He watched her still, his strong arms coming around her bare middle. Jareth then pulled her down to meet his lips.

Sarah met his touch without hesitation, without worry of magic being used. There was magic, but it was something more carnal, older than even Jareth. She closed her eyes as his warm lips moved against her own. She could feel his love. Through their simple, tender kiss, she could feel the emotion that had taken over his very soul. His tongue ran along the crease between her lips, asking for entrance. She opened her mouth to him, tasting him. He tasted like magic, like starlight and faeries. Her hand moved to caress his cheek, and in a moment she found herself underneath his powerful body. Her arms wrapped themselves around his neck as his hands moved down her bare hip. She shivered underneath him. His fingers found her breast, fondling the soft mounds tenderly.

"Tell me again Sarah." He whispered against her lips.

"I love you." She replied just as quietly.

He knew it to be true. She told him with her touch, with her lips and with her eyes. He could feel it in her heart, just as strong as it had been when she was an innocent, naïve fifteen year old girl. Only now she was a woman. His beautiful Sarah. She was a woman in love, in passion, and she wanted him. He reveled in the feeling of her soft body, amazed that his hand met with not a single sore from their previous mishap. Her skin seemed to have healed, faster than the turtle like healer had predicted. He pulled the green blanket away from them, leaving only the air around them and the mattress beneath them.

Jareth continued to kiss her, his hands touching every part of her body that they could reach. He wanted to know all of her, by touch, by heart. He watched as magic enveloped him, his clothes evaporating just as his gloves had. The mist surrounded them for a moment before fading away into the dark air. He heard her intake of breath as their bare flesh met for the first time. Both heated, both wanting. He felt her legs wrap themselves around his waist, ready for him, waiting for him. Their eyes met. Then Jareth loved her, just as she had asked him to.
