As their lips joined, both felt a strong gust of warm wind push them closer together. Jareth knew that this was the Labyrinths sign of approval as he responded by deepening their passionate kiss and allowing both his hands travel beneath the jacket she wore and around her waist, feeling her warm skin under the thin fabric of the nightgown she wore.
Sarah responded with her arms wrapped around his neck, she knew that this was too quick and was so unlike her but there was something in that kiss and the way he held her that drove her to madness.
"Sarah my love, if we do not stop now, I don't know if I will be able to resist you" Both took deep ragged breaths recovering from their kiss. She knew that this would be a proper time to stop but everything in her body was telling her to continue. In response to his warning, she let one hand slide down to his jaw and pushed his chin down so she could give him a quick yet loving kiss.
"I don't think I want to stop Jareth" She looked down and felt her cheeks turn ruby red. She has never done anything more than giving a quick peck on the lips to another boy, let alone fully make out. Jareth saw her precious blush and thought back to how his Sarah changed and grew into a miraculous woman. He was expecting a full-blown war when she woke up. Of course, he didn't think he would have to save her from falling off his castle, but this was better than what he was expecting. Perhaps the Labyrinths magic was affecting her or she truly has been missing him as much as he missed her.
With a gentle kiss to the cheek and a calming hand through her hair, he asked, "Would you mind if we relocate to a more appropriate setting"
Sarah responded with a small quick nod while he smiled down at her and took her hand in his, leading them down the corridors of the castle. She was half expecting to see a bleak and depressingly dark castle but instead was shocked to see an inviting and regal-looking place. The corridors that they traveled down was lined with dark blue carpeting linked with golden trim that laid on top of the gray floor-stones. Along the walls were white columns that held small treasures like busts and vases filled with beautiful exotic flowers and plants. Between each of the columns were a beautiful set of unique medieval styled windows, some with stained glass, and all framed with heavy deep red curtains held back with gold threaded robe.
"Jareth... this place is stunning." He squeezed her hand slightly and smiled at her, responded "I am glad it is to your liking my dear. After all, it is your new home" That made her heart skip a beat and smile like a school girl. This felt like a dream that should never be interrupted. They turned a corner and she saw the most massive set of double cherry wood with two human looking guards on each side. As they approached, the guards bowed slightly and greeted them with "your majesties" before opening the entrance to the bedroom. Sarah saw this was the same room she awoke in earlier but didn't feel like that was an argument worth having at the moment. Once beyond the threshold, the doors closed behind them and he worked some magic to presumably seal the door and prevent any interruptions.
"I have a question," Sarah said as he approached her. He looked at her with a puzzled look and allowed her to continue.
"One, why did they said "your majesties"?"
He strolled over to her and said, "as the champion of the Labyrinth, you are chosen to be equal to myself and therefore a ruler of this realm. I as King and you as my Queen"
"wait... are you meaning to tell me that just because I successfully ran the labyrinth that I am now queen?"
"yes, Sarah. All within my kingdom were notified of your return and all rejoiced when they saw the labyrinth begin to heal and provide for its citizens with food. You have saved them from further destruction. I understand that this is rather shocking but before we proceed with tonight, I would like to be truthful about what the outcome would be"
She was confused but waited eagerly for him to continue.
