Disclaimer: I own nothing at all. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed and everyone who has enjoyed this and all my other stories. I know I haven't updated in awhile, but I'm going to try and get at least one chapter a week up. And I'm also going to try very hard to make them as long as possible.
Sarah felt her senses begin to take leave of her. Was it really possible that Jareth loved her? Her breathing came in short gasps. It couldn't be. The man she had dreamt about for so long, the man she had wanted with all her being while at the same time despised, wished for her to marry him. To go back to the Underground with him and be his Queen. Sarah couldn't believe it.
Jareth smirked at her. "I see you're finally taking me seriously." "Are you saying that you..that you..." Sarah fumbled for the words to express her feelings. Jareth's mismatched eyes became clouded and solemn. "I'm saying that you made it through my Labyrinth. That you are the most capable..." he paused for a moment. Should he say the words? Admit his feelings for her and be done with it? Inside the Goblin King a battle was taking place between his heart and his mind.
He could tell her of his love;of how there were nights when his only wish was to see her again... to have her in his arms...in his bed. If he were to do so, he would lose any advantage he might have had over her, his mind said. And having the advantage is always the most important thing.
But it isn't everything.
"The most beautiful creature ever to enter into my castle." Jareth finished. Sarah's face was pale. He truly did love her. He must, or he wouldn't be calling her beautiful, would he?
Jareth took her hand. "Will you come with me, Sarah?" In his free hand he held up a crystal. "I can give you your dreams, if you would only take them."
