*Hey! Sorry it took so long to update it, but knowing me, I'm just a ditz with too many things to do. Lol. Anywho, enjoy the chapter!*
Julie opened her eyes the next morning, only to shut them immediately as a stream of sunlight shone through a crack in the curtains directly on her face. She shielded her eyes with a weary hand & looked about her, taking in her unfamiliar surroundings. Memories of last night filled her mind and she shot up into a sitting position, holding the red silk sheets about her protectively. She looked to the spot next to her; Jareth laid there, sprawled out on his back, right hand on his chest while the other dangled off the side of the bed, and the sheets just barely resting on his hips, threatening to fall lower. Julie caught some movement out of the corner of her left eye and she looked up to catch a pair of mismatched eyes watching her in amusement. Jareth had been watching her the whole time, a smirk playing across his lips, lightening his features. Julie yelped as he grasped her hips and pulled her naked form down to him, rolling on top of her with a devilish smile, "Good morning." He kissed her tenderly and then looked her in the eyes.
Julie smiled brightly, reaching up to stuck a wisp of unruly hair behind his ear, her fingers lingering across his jaw line, " Good morning."
Jareth' s smile widened, " Did you sleep well?"
Julie stretched languidly beneath him, " Mmmm… Yes, I did. Almost forgot where I was."
He grinned again and nuzzled her nose with his, " Well we can't have that now, can we?"
Julie giggled while shaking her head and ran her hands down his bare chest, causing Jareth to close his eyes in bliss at the sensation. She then ran a finger up and down his sides repeatedly, roaming lower at each descent. She felt his response to her caresses against her thigh and bit her lip at the sensation, moaning softly when he trailed open-mouthed kisses across her throat and collarbone. She rubbed his back as his lips found hers, kissing her deeply, Julie arching her back, straining to get closer as she wrapped her arms and legs around him. He pulled away a few seconds later, chuckled at the confused look she gave him and kissed her nose, " I've a gift for you, darling."
They both sat up and Julie looked in wonder as he conjured a crystal, holding it out to her, " For me?"
Jareth chuckled, "Yes, for you." She took it carefully from his hands and closed her eyes as a warm tingly feeling washed through her entire being. She opened them again and saw Jareth smiling at her softly and looked down to see the crystal gone. She looked back up at him and he motioned towards the bathroom, " Go look at yourself in the mirror, Julie."
Curiously she bounded off the bed and into the bathroom, squealing in happiness and surprise at her reflection. She was wearing a gauzy type of material, sky blue in color, just draping the necessary areas. Her skin sparkled with iridescent glitter, the tips of her ears pointed and her hair dangling freely, a few wisps curled. Then there were the angel wings. He had turned her into a faery! She fluttered her wings and giggled in excitement and dashed out of the bathroom nearly knocking Jareth over as she hugged him, " Oh my gosh! Thank you so much Jareth! Thank you thank you thank you!" She pulled back and kissed him deeply, causing him to chuckle at her response to his gift.
He stroked her hair, looking into her amethyst eyes, " You are quite welcome, my love. Anything for you." He put her at arms length, " Now let's see you use those wings…" Julie stretched out her wings, quite cutely I may add, and she turned her back to him, gazing over her shoulder seductively, while fluttering them. The look didn't last long as she broke out into fits of giggles, Jareth chuckling with her. (by the way, YES he is dressed. Lol) He took her hand into his, kissing it softly, " Care to go out for a morning flight?"
Julie's eyes widened, " Jareth, I can't do that. I don't even know how to fly!"
He smirked, " Just keep fluttering your wings and you'll do just fine." Angel-type wings grew out of his back then, between his shoulder blades, the wings reaching the floor, a feather grazing its surface softly. Julie looked in awe as she looked into his eyes, questioningly. He laughed, " Yes, my love, you can touch them. They're real, just as you and I." She tentatively touched his wings, stroking the soft feathers causing Jareth to shiver slightly. He chuckled again, " That tickles, Julie." He then stretched them out, the wingspan reaching 20 feet. He glanced at her over a shoulder, "They're owl feathers."
She smiled, " Yes, I know." He then turned around, gathering her into his arms, wrapping his wings around them protectively, his head resting on top of hers. He sighed, " I love you."
Julie smiled again and snuggled closer to his chest, " I love you too."
