Short, yet sweet like most of the chapters but with a subtle hint of intruige and suspense. I do so hope you enjoy. [LittlEm]
Their eyes stayed closed and their bodies stayed tight, arms wrapped around one another's bodies. Sarah buried her head into Jareth's chest. Neither of them could believe what had just unfolded nor that they were in the situation they were. But what's done is done and neither could turn back now. They had made their decision.
She had done it; she could hardly believe that she had done it. Sarah had gone and left her family behind. What would Toby do without her? How would they cope? Sarah didn't want her dad to think that she was dead, but what could she do now?
Jareth was in a complete state of shock and dared not let Sarah go from his warm embrace. He could feel her body within his arms and he loved her warmth. She was more than he could remember and had bloomed into a beautiful woman. Jareth knew she was delicate and something special and to be loved and adored and my god he would never let her go ever again.
Jareth knew that what Sarah was, he wanted. To keep and love and cherish for all time. Her breathing was soft and shallow as he held her, with her arms wound around his waist. He could not put his finger on what it was that must have drawn her too him. Why she chose him over her own family who had always been there for her- but he was not about to complain about it.
Sarah's mind flew and whizzed around full of unanswered questions surrounding her family and what she would do now that she had chosen to be with Jareth- to be his. She would be a Queen, his Queen. Yet would lose her family in the process. Did Jareth even have a family or had they been slaughtered so he could claim the throne that he held? Was Jareth the type to do something like that?
Sarah had gone and left her family for a man she had only just realised she knew nothing about. Only that he was the Goblin King and named Jareth…. And that he had strong feelings for her. She knew he was capable of magic, trickery. Yet had followed her heart to him. What was it pulling her closer to him? His arms were wrapped so tightly around her and he was just so warm that Sarah thought she would never want him to let go.
'Sarah, I will never let you go, so long as you stay loyal to me my little turtle dove…'
They both loosened their grip on one another before pulling apart ever so slightly just to lovingly gaze at one another- the beauty they saw within the eyes of the other caused both souls to ignite. They kissed and felt the whirls of passion and love flow through them.
Yet through it all a sense of something neither could quite put their finger on- could it possibly have been regret?
