Chapter 12: The Lesson

Nick pulled up behind the warehouse, he had just finished up with his classes for the day and he knew that the police were watching his every move. He had often been late in the mornings and would constantly appear dishevelled. His students had said he had become complacent and irritable, often smelling of a an obscene amount of alcohol. One of the teachers in the mathematics department had caught him in the staff room during one of the breaks, she had seen him sweating profusely and swigging back some sort of liquid that he kept hidden- when she tried to confront him, he made her wish that she hadn't. She decided then that it wouldn't be wise to turn him in, in fear of what he was capable of.

In addition to his erratic antics he had stopped handing out assignments and had cancelled his after school drama program at Sarah's university.

During the school year he taught AP high school English. He knew that with Sarah graduating he would need to put his finger into another pie in order to still see her. He knew that a summer drama class would no doubt spark her interest.

"Hook. Line and sinkered." He thought to himself, putting a devilish grin on his handsome face.

Sarah had been missing for a little over a week now and some of the students had been sending out Chinese whispers that he may have been responsible for her sudden disappearance, of course there had been no evidence to support this- he had made sure of that.

The school board had pulled him aside for a meeting and had told him, if he didn't clean up his act he would not only just loose his job at the school, but he would also find it very difficult to find another job anywhere else in the future. They had also implied that the police were on to him, just looking for him to drop his game, for even a second to charge him.

"Thanks for meeting me here, I know you are probably wanting to go home." Nick said to the grotty man.

"It's no problem I had a little extra skimmed of the top from our last shipment from Minnesota, so as long as you've got the cash its all yours." The large toothless man said, running his hand through his greasy balding head.

"Yeah, I've got it all here." Nick said bluntly, pulling a paper bag out of the passenger seat of his car. He passed it into the obscene man's hands.

It was dark now and Nick liked that, he felt covered by the darkness, if anyone had been following him he would have noticed on a count of the very dark road that would have been impossible to drive down without the use of headlights. Even if they had been able to successfully drive without the use of lights, they wouldn't be able to see clearly what he was doing now.

The man proceeded to roll the back door up of the building. Nick smiled greedily as he looked down at the contents on the floor. A very large piled of Iron ore.

The smile would not wipe off his face as he took in what this random pile of metal would mean for him. He would finally have her. Finally. He only cared about one thing and he was willing to do anything to get what he wanted. And what he wanted was -Sarah.

The man looked to Nick with a look of curiosity on his face.

"Mister, why'd you say you need this?" He said apprehensively.

"It's for a friend." Nick said sharply, transporting the contents into his trunk.

"What's with this private meeting? You know it ain't illegal ay?" He said a bit more confidently now.

"Enough with the questions, mind your own damn business." Nick said slamming the full trunk shut and heading into the car.

As Nick drove off he reached over to the glove compartment of his car and pulled it open. He rummaged around for a moment, he then pulled the small red leather book and smiled to himself.

"Goblin King, I'm almost ready for you and to get back what's mine. It's too bad that Sarah left this little book lying around, it tells all your secrets."

Sarah appeared in her bedroom, shocked when she took in her surroundings around her.

"Jesus. I didn't think it would work." She said shocked.

When she had said her wish of coming home, she assumed that since she now considered the Underground her home that she would have stayed right where she was. She had worded it that way, it was only to show Jareth that she wasn't kidding around and she meant business.

She felt her anger subside when she thought about her argument with Jareth, but decided that while she was here she would leave her room and see if her family was home. Jareth had said to her that they wouldn't have wondered where she was, since he had cast a spell to cloak their worries.

"Sawah!" Toby shrieked almost in tears at the appearance of his sister.

"Hey kiddo!" She replied back embracing him in a hug, a bit weary of his reaction at seeing her.

Karen suddenly came billowing up the stairs.

"Sarah, where the heck have you been! We were so worried about you, we called the police and have been looking everywhere for you!" she exclaimed, pulling Sarah abruptly into an intense hug.

Sarah stood shocked, "What do you mean, I have just been uuuhh...uhh... out of town?" She replied back hesitantly.

"Have you? Where? We were all starting to think that... something horrible had happened to you..." She whispered to Sarah so that Toby's ears could not hear.

"No, no. I went to New York to see my mother." She quickly replied back, knowing that Karen and her dad would not dare contact her mother to confirm.

"Oh... You could have called you know." Karen replied back, the anger evident in her voice.

"I know, I'm sorry. I'm actually hoping to head back to see her soon. I think I may even stay there if she will have me again. I don't think college was really for me to be honest." Sarah said honestly, know that by her "mother" she was actually referring to Jareth.

"I guess we can talk about that later when your father is back from work." Karen said sharply.

"If its okay Karen, I think I would like to take a nap." Sarah said with an exhausted look on her face.

"Yes, I think that would be fine, I'll wake you up before dinner." Karen replied back.

Sarah made her way back into her room, she collapsed onto the bed. She felt terrible, as angry as she still felt her heart missed her now home and she missed her husband, she felt a pain in her heart which could only be described as a longing. She reach other to her bedside table to find her little leather book, hoping that would help with her pain.

-it wasn't there.

"I must have left it in the library." She said quietly to herself.

"Jareth? If you can hear me. I wouldn't mind coming back home now." She whispered under her breath.

Sarah laid and waited. Nothing happened.

"Well if you are listening, remember that I am your wife and you're not allowed to stay mad at me for long!" She said angrily.

Sarah rolled to her side and within minutes was in a deep sleep.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jareth paced the length of study, dark eyes shining like black holes, absorbing everything in sight.

"What the hell was she thinking, recklessly wishing to go back to the Aboveground like some sort of half witted twit!" He shouted angrily.

"She can explain her disappearance to her family and authorities herself!" He said with malice.

In a swift blow, he pulled all of the items off his desk throwing them onto the floor, then he grabbed the desk where is stood and flailed it across the room with little effort.

Two helpless goblins sat as close to the door as possible, terrified of being in the cross fire.

Jareth stood angrily in the middle of the dishevelled room. Panting with anger, his pupils pin holes. He formed a crystal in his black gloved hand. Even though rage spilled through him, he could not tear his eyes from his crystals. He had to make sure that she was safe.

He had decided to teach his young bride a lesson. He knew that the power of the crystal wouldn't send her back to the Aboveground, he had made sure of that when he gave it to her, at the risk of her using it to return home and losing her again. Or at the worse possibility of her wishing for him to never be able to take her back to the Underground.

At that moment to instil some fear and obedience into her, He in fact, had sent her back to her aboveground. She need to know that she needed him.

So that she would know to respect him.

Jareth peered into the crystal, and heard Sarah's words.

"Jareth? If you can hear me, I wouldn't mind coming back home now."

"Well if you are listening, remember that I am your wife and you're not allowed to stay mad at me for long!"

Jareth smirked at her words and he knew she was right. He couldn't stay mad at her and he also couldn't stand to be away from her, he craved her touch, her smell, her voice, the warmth of her skin against his. He watched her roll over onto her side and fall asleep.

"Oh my love, I will come for you when you have learnt a bit more of your lesson." He chuckled to himself.

"Such a pity, for you that you must defy me."

"And such a pity for me that I just can't deny you." He said to himself quietly.

While Sarah continued to sleep, Jareth formed another crystal in his hand to find and see Nick, he had been trying to observe him on many occasions but found that other than a couple of times, something had been blocking his power, it concerned Jareth, but her knew that there would be a simple explanation for it. The thought had crossed his mind that Nick could have possibly learnt that iron was a weakness that he did possess, but he knew that in order for it to cripple him or block his power he would need an extraordinary amount of it. An amount that he didn't think possible.

He needed to find Nick and then he would deal with him swiftly. He didn't want Sarah being in the Aboveground with him still walking around, he felt even now a little apprehensive given the current situation even though he could see Sarah clear as day safely in her bed.

Nick returned back to his home, he placed the contents of his trunk onto a large blue tarp and began towing it into the house, down the stairs into the basement. He dumped it into an already large pile of iron. But there wasn't just one pile.

It was everywhere. All along the walls, along the stairs, hanging from the roof.

Everywhere.

Nick smiled and headed towards the corner of the room where he pulled a large metal dagger out from a trunk of the floor.

"I am ready for you Goblin king. And I am ready to take back what's mine. We all have a weakness and I think I have found yours." He thought malignantly.

He was interrupted from his thoughts when he heard the phone ringing upstairs, he placed the dagger back in the trunk and stomped back up the stairs to answer it.

"Hello." He said breathlessly.

"Hi Mr. Kendell, this is Chief Constable Connor Dixon."

"I wanted to give you a courtesy call to let you know that you are no longer a suspect in our missing person case for Sarah Williams. It appears she is back home and well with her family." The officer said apologetically.

"Oh that's fantastic to hear."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sarah began to wake, still in a subdued foggy state, a limbo of sleep and awareness. The room was dark and she couldn't see any figures. She felt herself rise to the feeling of bare hands massaging the gentle skin in between her thighs. A pool of wetness already soaked through her delicate panties as a rough finger moved her underwear to the side, then found its way through to her delicate folds.

She groaned at the contact as she felt two hands pry her open and a warm gentle tongue dart towards her most delicate spot, sucking and humming on her sensitive nub.

Obviously frustrated, her captor proceeded to rip her underwear from her body, causing Sarah to snap into focus.

She yelped at the sudden contact, loosing all sense of what was going on around her. Two hands came up from under the blanket and moved under the light fabric of her shift grasping at her round breasts and rolling them around between their hands. A deep growl of arousal came from under the blankets, where her captor laid, torturing her deep opening, reaching in as far as possible, trying frantically to reach her to her climax.

Sarah suddenly felt very alert to her surroundings. She had just remembered that she was in her family home. In her bedroom. Supposably Alone. She threw her hands under the blanket in a panic and pushed the naked hard chest away from her.

"Who are you?!"She screamed frighteningly.

Suddenly the lights came on and a devilishly handsome face appeared between her legs.

"It's me precious. Were you expecting someone else." He said grinning.

"Oh Jareth, I thought you might have been Ni..." she said faintly.

She reach down to him and pulled him up by his broad shoulders and embraced him, her warm full chest grazed nakedly against his also bare chest.

Jareth had thought his gesture had been romantic; taking Sarah where she slept and bringing her back home into his bed- their bed. But he could now see it had been a terrible idea as she sat in his arms disoriented and shaking uncontrollably. He could feel her heartbeat frantically in her chest.

"I'm a fool precious, I'm sorry." He whispered into her ear.

She pulled him away and looked deep into his eyes.

"I love you so much, I'm sorry too. I acted like a spoilt brat today. She said apologetically.

"I can admit when I'm too cruel precious, I forget sometimes that you are from a very different place - you are still so young. I need to be more patient with you." He replied.

Sarah held onto him tightly as if afraid he would disappear from her grasp.

"Make love to me." She said quietly.

"Please." She added.

Jareth grabbed her chin and pulled her face to his, he opened his mouth and kissed her mouth passionately.

Sarah weaved her hands into his unruly locks and moaned into his mouth at the notice of the erection between his legs. She opened her legs and straddled him where he sat.

Jareth grabbed her under her hips and lifted her over to the desk next to the wall. Sarah held onto him around his neck as he began frantically kissing every inch of her neck.

As they sat wrapped into each other, the tip of Jareth's shaft was rubbing on Sarah's nub, he could feel her pool of wetness he had planned to gently tease her senses but frustrated Sarah thrusted her hips forward causing her to take him fully inside of her.

They both cried out at the relief of him finally entering her. Jareth buried his head into her warm breasts, he opened his mouth to take them into his mouth, Sarah pulled his head in closer, enjoying the contact of it.

He relinquished all his self control and thrusted in and out of her with a sense of urgency that made Sarah feel like the queen she was. His desire for her was at a level that made want her want him even more.

She felt her walls closing in around him, tensing and throbbing, Jareth could feel it too, he pulled his head up from his heaven and placed his fingers into mouth, wetting them with his warm mouth he placed them between her legs and rubbed gently at her most sensitive spot, looking into her eyes with such hunger, all the while still pulling in and out of her.

Sarah cried out in ecstasy collapsing into his chest. A proud smile appeared on Jareth face at his achievement as he thrusted into her one final time emptying his load of seed, pushing in as far as he could as if making her as a possession.

He abruptly pulled her off the desk and threw her onto the bed.

"Now my Queen. It is time for your lesson." He said firmly with a low voice.

"My lesson?" Sarah whispered apprehensively.

"You didn't think your little stunt would go unpunished did you?" He said chuckling.

"Well I thought that we...we were..." She said frightened.

He pounced on top of her, straddling her between his legs, holding her wrists above her head.

"Repeat after me." He said slightly less confronting then before.

"I, Sarah, Queen of Goblins, will not defy my husband King Jareth King of Goblins and will listen to his instructions for all eternity. " He said playfully with a hint of seriousness.

Sarah looked at him and rolled her eyes.

"How about I Sarah, Queen of Goblins, will TRY not to defy my husband Jareth King of Goblins and will TRY to listen to his instructions."

Jareth smiled at her.

"I guess that's a compromise I'll have to live with." He replied sarcastically.

"You know everything I do is for you, I move the stars for no one except you." He said embracing her in a kiss.

"I know." She said nestling into his chest.

"Hey, what the hell happened to you so called spell? My dad called the police!" She exclaimed.

"Oh, that was part of the lesson." He chuckled.

"I'll fix that up for you again now if you promise to be a good girl and do as your told." He said condescendingly.

"Fine." She said defeated.

Hearing her reply, Jareth snapped his fingers.

"Done." He said kissing her forehead.

"Now lets get some sleep."
