The Underground Chapter 3

"Now we need to talk my dear." I said holding her upright I knew the kiss had left her stunned. When she regained her composure I set her back down on my lap and tucked a strand of hair that was falling in her face behind her ear. "Sarah love, I meant what I said back then and I would love to agree to your terms, but I need to know that I wont lose you again." I sighed looking deep into her eyes. "There is no challenge this time, no ultimatum the choice to be here was yours to make and now that you've made it there is no turning back. I may be the King of wishes, hopes, and dreams but there are some wishes I cannot and will not grant to you."

She nodded her face a serious canvas of emotion. "I understand and I don't want to go back I meant everything I said to you in your rooms, I belong here not there. This is where my life my heart and my soul lie." She stared intently at me trying to convey that what she said was truth, and I read it in her.

I nodded, "There are some things you need to know, my Labyrinth has chosen you, it won't survive without you, to everything here living and not you are the queen." I said avoiding her eyes now, this is what could make or break her. "I do love you it's not just that I need you but it's a factor. The position you would be put in here is not an easy one nor does it have the greatest perks."

"That doesn't matter Goblin King, the position I would take on would be and honor and a pleasure. Here is where I belong and nothing is going to change that or my mind. We may be just starting out, but I love you and I want no one else. There is nowhere in the world I would rather be." She leaned in and I knew what she was searching for. I was more than willing to give. Our lips met slow and steady passionate and chaste, everything a kiss should be. She pulled back and I was surprised by what I heard…

"Though we're strangers to love we're choosing a path between the stars, I'll lay my love between the stars…" our song came to mind sitting there with him bearing my heart and having him bear his to me. He was mine not something likely to change and I was his. I'd have it no other way. We belonged together through everything. He didn't hate me and I loved him all along he felt the same. He'd never forgotten and I couldn't have been happier.

"Our song, I remember that dream, nothing I've ever sent as beautiful as that. You know the whole time I was right there actually in the dream with you. The only time our minds were ever joined that night." He pulled me back into a fevered kiss mouths clashing tongues fighting passion igniting. Taking me higher and higher, but I knew he'd never let me crash. He pulled me fully over him and I straddled his legs, never breaking our kiss. I could tell where this would lead and I wasn't sure I was ready for that step just yet. We were starting over new; I knew we needed to take it slow. I wouldn't ruin this, I needed to slow down I pulled back slowly and looked him in his perfectly mismatched eyes. "We need to slow down Jareth I don't want to go too far too fast. I love you but I'm not ready for anything too intimate yet."

"I understand Sarah, love. I'll show you to your rooms it's late and I have a lot to teach you tomorrow." He said lifting me off of him standing and holding my hand before leading me back up the staircase I had just come from. When we reached the hallway at the top instead of going through the double doors to his chambers he led me left and down the way a bit before coming to a halt in front of a pair of almost identical doors. "Here we are my love I hope they are to your liking, sleep well and I will see you in the morning." With a small chaste kiss he left me there, I heard his door close and opened mine.

My rooms were beautiful. I walked in and was surrounded by pale white and blue. My bed looked like an ocean its covers were the most beautiful teal blue textured to look like waves. The walls were a mural of the view from a cliff of the sea. The whole room smelled of heather and roses it was magnificent. I almost felt bad as I crawled into the perfectly made bed and turned out the lights, but I didn't have time to think about it as I fell into a peaceful sleep filled with dreams of my new life.

She went into her rooms, and I heard her door click from my chambers. I walked over to my bed and stripped down before crawling under the silk covers. I fell asleep and my mind followed my heart into my dreams. As I slept I dreamt of her, her lips, her smile, and her laugh. She intoxicated me everything about her fascinated me. She was everything beautiful, amazing and perfect for the job she would take. She would be wonderful my love, my life, my wife, forever.

I couldn't wait for morning as I slept to see her and hold her in my arms again. To kiss her full luscious lips, and soon to make her fully and completely mine, she belonged to me and she would soon find out how much, how deeply she was mine. I loved her, and I swear I was never going to let her go.
