Authors note: Once again short chapters, but I hope I am making up for that by posting two at a time.
I do know own the Labyrinth or its inhabitant.
Ambrea was in the library looking over maps. She had been here for several months now and was
becoming used to the castle. Jareth had never been anything but a perfect gentleman, but she still could
not bring herself to share his bed.
She sighed, they had been married 6 months now, she was hopping she could learn to love him, but it
had not happened. She then thought she might not ever love him. She knew that eventually she would
have to give herself to him, but she knew that if she did that right now she would hate herself for it.
Maybe in another month she thought to herself.
She rubbed her neck, she had been learning a lot about the Fey kingdoms, the Labyrinth was only one
of the many, as was the land that she was from. There were so many customs and traditions, and ways
they expected people to behave she was afraid that even a year from now she would still only know a
fraction of it.
Jareth passed by her in the hall, he almost went in the room but then just walked on. He was hoping by
now that they would have consummated their marriage, but he couldn't bring himself to force her.
Maybe if he started by simply kissing her, maybe that would help.
He turned on his heel and headed back towards the library.
He stood in the doorway and watched her for a moment.
"Do you need any help? Might I offer some assistance?" He asked
Ambrea sighed "Only with my memory, your highness"
Jareth chuckled "You still cannot call me Jareth"
"Forgive me, Jareth"
"It is not your fault, I am often away, and when I am here I am usually attending to business." He took a
deep breath "I have to go on a diplomatic envoy in a fortnight to Caryneth. And if you desire we could
stop in Lorenth and visit with your father."
She nodded, " I would be honored"
"Would you join me for dinner" He offered his hand to her.
She rose to accept it. They took a few steps and he pulled her to him and kissed her. She hesitated
and pulled away. She could not even look at him when she muttered her apology.
He sighed and continued to lead her to the dinning room.
She knew he wouldn't wait much longer, he was expecting a wife, sooner or later she would have to
act like it.
