"mmmm.." Lana squirmed a bit trying to move away but Jareth kept her pinned only moving his mouth away to speak. "no..my dear. I'm not letting you go again. Its been six months of living hell for me. And now that I've spent even more time around you here in your world I know.." Jareth trailed off lost in her eyes. But Lana took the laps and jerked away from him. "Please..leave me alone. I told you, I don't want to go back there."

Jareth growled and turned to face her. "Lana.." But she shook her head. "No. I'm not going back." Jareth sighed and walked to the window. "Did you feel anything for me, Lana?" Lana didn't look at him. "I.." But she stopped and looked at him. His eyes were a blaze with the need to know. "There were times when I did." Jareth sighed and walked to her. "And now? Now that you know that I am James and I have been around you for the past few months?"

Lana didn't have much time to answer because he kissed her again. But this time he kissed her without the same force as before. He kissed out of need and love not just the need to kiss and touch her. It was like in the ballroom and when she left the Underworld. He was kissing her because he loved her and not because he lusted after her. "Jareth..I.." But he pulled her into his arms and covered her mouth with his instantly, not wanting to break the kiss or moment.

Lana gave in this time with a sigh of need and love. Her arms went up and around his neck as his circled around her waist and back pulling her closer. Lana opened her mouth as his tongue ran over her lips. Lana pulled herself closer to him. Jareth smiled in his minds eye letting his tongue explore her warm mouth and tongue. "mm.." Jareth picked Lana up and laid her on the desk his hands running down her sides as he kissed her.

"Jareth.." Lana whispered his name, half in need, half in fear of what could happen. Jareth smiled and pulled back ever so slightly looking into her eyes. "We don't have to do anything." He spoke softly his eyes kind and full of emotion unlike his normal emotional glare. Lana nodded and smiled softly. Jareth kissed her again deeply wanting nothing more then to hold and kiss her now lost in the moment.

A sharp knock on the door made them jump and gaze at it wide eyed. A shrill voice came from the other side. "Mr. Johnson. It's time for your meeting and I will not have you coming in late!" It called out and Jareth sighed changing back into his normal everyday human form for the aboveground. "I'm coming, hold on." Jareth smiled and leaned down whispering in her ear. "I'll see you later on. I've got a meeting so I wont be back for the rest of the day. Come by my place later." He gave Lana a soft kiss on the lips and left his frown back on his face and a slight glare in his eyes.

Lana composed herself and went back to her desk after they had left. She tried to work but he mind kept drifting back to him and their kisses. As the day went on she got a few phone calls and some rude looks from the other people in the office who didn't like her. But she paid them no mind and went about daydreaming and thinking of Jareth and their kisses in his office. Finally getting a chance to relax she let her mind wonder and waited for the end of the day to come.

Lana smiled as the clock hit five. It was finally time to go home and she was happy. Getting her things she left the office and headed for Jareth's apartment. On the way there she didn't pay attention to anything except when she needed to. She walked quickly wanting to get there as fast as possible. Once there Lana knocked on the door but found that it was unlocked and slightly ajar. "What in the world. Jareth?" Slowly pushing open the door she gasped.
