Chapter 3
Don't own Labyrinth
Sarah looked up in surprise. "Jareth." She whispered, barely audible. She reached up dumbfounded and touched his cheek lightly with her right pointer finger before cupping his face lovingly as realization set in.
Jareth just sat there and waited until full realization set in. When she touched him with her fingertip a shiver went through his body. When she cupped his cheek his body started shaking over and over again. He'd waited so long for her to touch him. Waited for her to look at him and want to touch him.
It was unbelievable. She finally realized it was him, her Jareth. The face, the mismatched eyes, and his sweet weight on top of her.
"Oh, Jareth." She cried out, tears slipping from her eyes. "I'm so sorry. I never knew." A sob caught in her throat and wracked her body on its way to being expressed.
Jareth looked down at his love as she sobbed and he felt his heart break. "Ah…My dear Sarah. My dear, dear Sarah." He said as he gently scooped her up to his body with one hand while using the other to hold most of his weight off her body.
Sarah looked up at Jareth and smiled sadly through her tears. "I never got the chance to tell you before but I want to let you know now…" She paused briefly to lay a gentle kiss on his unsmiling lips. "…I love you."
Jareth's mood changed from being somber to smiling happily the moment her words sank in. "Well, Sarah. I never got the chance to tell you either but I'd like to tell you now…" He bent over her with that sexy smirk on his lips, anticipation hummed through her, and then he finally pressed his smiling lips to hers and she decided she liked kissing him slightly more when he smiled. "I love you as well."
He kissed her again this time deeper, when his tongue started to explore her lips in an attempt to find its way inside. Sarah shyly opened her mouth and took his tongue. When he skillfully brought her tongue to play with his own she was convinced he was breathing for the both of them and she was just breathing his air.
He broke off the kiss heatedly. "Ah…Sarah, my heart, I love you. I love you. I love you!" He caught her lips again. This time she breathlessly opened her lips and introduced her tongue. He groaned and placed his hand on the side of her breast lightly. She whimpered and arched up into his touch.
Just then there came a knock on the door. Jareth growled, "What is it?"
A little goblin outside the door sighed. "The high counsel is here and they wish to speak with you."
"One moment." Jareth stole one last, lingering kiss." Sleep for now, love. I'll be back soon." He smoothed a rebellious strand of hair out of her face.
"Alright," she said quietly. When the door closed softly behind him she snuggled deeper in the covers smelling the scent that was Jareth.
Jareth smiled as he walked down the hall, knowing exactly what she was doing. He then frowned, however, because he knew what the high counsel were there for.
