Can I Keep You?

.

Jareth opens his eyes to see Sarah sleeping next to him. Watching her sleep he tries to calm himself down. He feels her start to stir and closes his eyes.

Sarah stretches her arms and legs. I probably need to get up, but I don't want to. These silk sheets feel so good…..Silk I don't have silk sheets. She opens her eyes and looks around the room; no not room more like chamber. The bed that she sat on was beautiful dark wood, with black silk sheets. Hearing something she turns her head to find Jareth lying next to her. Slowly she starts to climb out of bed as arms wrap around her and pull her back against a very worm body.

Jareth pulls her to him. "And just where do you think you're going, my sweet?" He nuzzles her neck placing kisses from her ear to her shoulder. Sarah tries to pull away from him. "Jareth, you need to stop." She turns to face him. Jareth leans into kiss her. "No, my sweet, let me show you what I need to do."

Orlaith clears her throat. "Jareth, how nice of you to finally wake up, we were worried about you two." Sarah jumps away from Jareth and stands beside the bed. Turning to face his mother Jareth sets up. "Hello mother, how nice to see you again. What do you mean finally wake up?"

Tammi runs to her friend and pulls her into a hug. "Sarah I was so worried." Pulling back Sarah looks from Tammi to Jareth. "Ok if we're not dreaming then how did Tammi and I get here?" Orlaith sits next to her son."That will be explained but first things first. Korali will you take the girls to the room you had prepared for Tammi? I need to speak with your brother."

Korali bows to his mother and takes Tammi's hand. "Yes mother. Come now love and you too Sarah." Sarah looks at Jareth as she walks by.

Jareth gets up from the bed and walks to Sarah. He takes her hand and pulls her to him. "I will come find you my sweet. Go now, freshen up." Jareth leans in and gives her a chaste kiss. Watching as they leave the room, Jareth turns to his mother.

"Now mother, will you tell me what is going on here?" Orlaith pats the bed next to her. "Come now my son. Set and we will talk." He sets beside her and takes her hand. "Tell me how long was I asleep."

"My son, you where asleep for over two days, Firae called on me when he could not wake you. He also said that you have not been sleeping well, and when you do sleep you toss and turn with dreams. Tell me what you have been dreaming of?"

"I have been dreaming of Sarah or more like dreaming with her. I know that sounds a bit off, but every time it was as if she would pull me into her dreams. You said that you were worried about both of us." He turns to look into his mothers eyes. "Sarah could not be woken either could she?"

"That is right, my son, Tammi could not wake her so she tried to call on you. You called her name in your sleep."

Jareth pushes off of the bed and walks over to the fire place. "What happened to make us?"

Orlaith placed a hand on her son's shoulder. "What happed before you feel asleep?"

Jareth turned to face her. "She had pulled me into one of her dreams, and it did not end well." He looks away."We had a fight and I said some things."

Orlaith just looks at her son. "Jareth what did you say to her."

"I might have told her that she could no longer call on me, and I cut her ties to the labyrinth."

Orlaith didn't know what to say. "You did what? You are your father's son. Always letting you temper get the best of you. What happened before you woke up? By the looks of it when you woke up, I would say things are better."

Jareth smiles as he turns to her. "Yes they would have been a lot better had we been alone when we woke. As for what happened, I told her that I love her."

Orlaith's mouth dropped open. "You did? Then that is why you woke. You gave back to her what you had taken." She looks to her son. "I will leave you so you can freshen up."

Jareth runs his hands through his hair as he walks into his bathing chamber. He waves his hand at the tub and it starts to fill up. He thinks about Sarah as he waits for the water.

Sarah fallowed Tammi and Korali down to many halls to remember. They stop at a door and Korali turns to Tammi. "This is where I leave you my love. You will find all that you need. I will check on you soon." He leans down and brushes Tammi's lips with his."Until then my love."

Both girls watch him leave. Sarah walks into the room and Tammi after her. This room was just like Jareth's but smaller and without a fire place. The bed the same dark wood with purple sheets, a matching vanity and the biggest armoire she has ever seen.

Sarah walked through the only other door in the room. The bathroom was huge. The tub alone could fit maybe ten people. On the other side of the room there was a wall length mirror. Turning she walked out to Tammi. "I'm going to take a bath. Ok."

Tammi sat up from her spot on the bed. "Ok. I will take one when you get done."

Sarah walked back into the bathroom where she noticed that the bath tub was already filling up. Pulling off her pajamas she slowly steps into the bath. There is a knock on the door."Who is it?" Sarah sinks into the water as the door opens. Tammi's head appears first."Sara can I come in and talk to you?"

"Yes, I have some things I would like to ask you." Tammi walks in and looks around. "We could have a tub party in here. " Setting on the side of the tub, she looks at her friend. "I was so worried about you when I couldn't wake you up. I called on Jareth over and over, but when Orlaith and Korali showed up I knew that something was wrong. "

Smiling Sarah leans up against the side of the tub. "I got that Korali is Jareth's brother and how we got here, but what I don't get is why he called you love." Tammi turned her face from her friend. "I don't know but I like it and I like him. You and Jareth sure looked very friendly when you woke up."

Sarah blushed at that. "In our dream he told me that he loves me and I think if we had not woken up we might have.. umm you know." Tammi's jaw would have hit the floor if that was possible. "What? So that's why he was acting like he was to you. Are you going to do that with him for real?"

Sarah finished washing her hair and got out to dry off. "No. At least not soon, I don't even know him that well. I mean the things he was making me feel where…"

Tammi smiled at her friend as she handed her a second towel for her hair."I think I know what you mean. Well Tommy and I only did it once but I don't think he even cared if I enjoyed myself it was all about him."

Sarah wrapped the towel around her head and walked into the bedroom. "You never told me that. I knew that you were having problems with him." Sarah pulls open the armoire and smiles in delight. "Tammi you have to come see this."

She walks over to see what her friend is so happy about. The armoire was full of beautiful dress, corsets, full skirts, and poet shirts of all kinds. Tammi turned to look at Sarah. "You are going to be in hog heaven. I'm going to go take my bath."

Sarah ran her hands over the dresses. She pauses on a deep red dress and matching corset.

Tammi walks out of the bathroom to find Sarah in a beautiful red dress. "Looking good girl, did you see anything in there that I would like?"

Sarah handed her a black dress with matching corset. "I'm going to go find Jareth; I think we need to talk." Smiling at her friend she walks out the door. Not sure where to start looking for Jareth she decided just to start walking until she found someone to ask.

Orlaith was headed to look in on Sarah when she turned the corner and almost bump into her. "Oh, I am sorry my child." Sarah smiled at her. "No I'm sorry. I was trying to find my way to see Jareth, but I think I'm a bit lost."

Orlaith smiled at her. "My dear you're not lost, my son's rooms are at the end of this hall. Just tell him that I will see him at dinner." Sarah thanked her and knocked on Jareth's door. The door was open a crack so she walked in. "Jareth, its Sarah are you in here?"

"Sarah I'm in here." She walks into the room that his voice came from. She was standing in his bath room. Witch would not have been so bad had there not been a very naked goblin king in the bath tub. Blushing she turns around. "You didn't tell me that you were in the tub."

Smiling Jareth looks her over. Her hair fell in dark curls to the middle of her back, the deep red of her dress and the darkness of her hair paled her skin. The smoky makeup around her eyes really brought out the green. "No my sweet, I did not. Will you turn around I want to look at you?"

Sarah slowly turned around trying not to look at him. "Sarah, look at me." She looks up at him trying to keep her eyes on his face, but with the hungry look he was giving she started to walk out the door. She stopped when she heard splashing.

Jareth stepped out of the tub and walked toward her. "Sarah, why won't you look at me?" She turned to find him standing in front of her with nothing on. "Jareth, you're naked. I'm just going to wait in your room." As she turns to leave Jareth grabs her and pulls her to him. "Jareth you're going to get me all wet." She tries to pull away from him.

Jareth pins her between him and the door. "I plan on it, my sweet." He leans down and bushes his lips with hers. He ends the kiss and looks down at her. She looks up at him through half open eye lids. "Jareth, don't you need to get dressed?"

He wraps his arms around her and pulls her to him. He kisses her again, slowly at first. She places her hands on his still wet chest. She lets out a soft moan as he flexes under her hands. He deepens the kiss, wrapping one hand in her hair and placing the other one on the small of her back holding her to him.

Sarah runs her hands over his chest not sure wither to push him away or pull him closer. His hands fall to her hips as he pushes her up against the wall. She moans as her back hits the wall and his hands pull her hips to meet his. She wraps one hand around his neck and runs one through his hair. He fumbles with her skirts as he lifts her up and she wraps her legs around him.

She moans at the feel of him against her. At the sound of her moans he pushes his hips into her's as he breaks the kiss. "This is what you do to me my sweet. I need you Sarah. I love you." He drops his face to her neck and nips at her collarbone.

Sarah arches into him as she bites her lip. "Jareth, please." Jareth pulls at her corset, getting frustrated he waves his hand and it falls off, leaving just her dress. He tugs at the front of her dress as he kisses down her neck. Sarah's breath shallows as his kisses reach the tops of her breast. He pulls back and looks at her as the front of her dress pulls free.

She wraps her arms around him as he carries her to his bed. Laying her down his breath catches as his eyes take in her form. He pulls her dress the rest of the way off of her. Sarah's eyes widen at the sight of the naked man standing over her. Jareth crawls onto the bed and takes her lips with his as he pulls her against him.

He presses his hips into her and she gasps. Sarah pushes against his chest. "Jareth I've never …" He looks down at her and strokes her cheek. "Sarah if you're not ready I can wait."

Sarah starts to say something as there is a knock at the door and Orlaith's voice fallows it. "Jareth, I hate to be a bother, but there is a problem with some of your goblins."

Sarah laughed as Jareth rolled his eyes. He gave her a chaste kiss. "I am sorry my sweet. It will be the bog for the ones causing the trouble. We will finish this when you are ready." He waved his hand and they were dressed. "I will be there soon mother." Helping Sarah off the bed they sat off to find to trouble makers.

Jareth could hear the noisy goblin before walking into his throne room, to find his mother standing in between two little goblins. He turns his eyes to the loud one looking him over. The little goblin was not very tall his head came to Jareth's hip. He had to look at the little goblin twice. His hair or what was left of it was in a line form one ear to the other. He wore black pants that were too big, a dark gray shirt, and a strip of cloth tied around his head. "Ruckus, what have you done now? And by the gods what are you wearing?"

The little goblin looked up at the king. "I no did nothing. I was just tryin to play." A big smile formed on his face as he puffed out his chest. "I has on my ninja stuff. Do you likes it?" He looked up at Jareth wanting approval. Jareth just shook his head and look to his mother. "Mother what happened here?" Orlaith look back and forth from Jareth and Sarah. "Ruckus took MacKayla's toy and broke it." Orlaith steeped out of the way to reveal a girl smaller than Ruckus. Her dark brown hair curled at her shoulders with a blue bow on the side that matched her blue dress.

Jareth knelled down to be eye to eye with her. "MacKayla, what did her take form you child?" She looked at her king trying not to cry. "Ruckus killed teddy." She pointed to the floor were a teddy bear laid in two pieces. Jareth picked the bear up. He holds it in one hand and runs the other over it. Smiling he hands it back to the girl. "Here you are MacKayla. Good as new."

She smiles wrapping her arms around his neck. She started out the door and turned back." Thank you, da." Sarah smiled at him as he walked toward her. Feeling a tug on his leg he looks down. Ruckus looks over to Sarah then back to Jareth. "Who is she?"

Jareth looked at Sarah." She will be your new queen Ruckus. As for what you did to MacKayla, I think you should clean this room." Ruckus stared at Jareth. "Me ninja, ninjas no clean." Jareth looked down at him. "You will clean Ruckus, or you will no longer be able to play ninja."

Ruckus hung his head as he walked out of the room. "I clean ninja fast. You see."

Jareth wraps his arms around Sarah's waist and pulls her into a kiss. Sarah laughs. "He likes to play like he is a ninja?" Jareth takes her hand and leads her down the hall. "Yes, well I will take ninjas over that bloody song that never ends. I almost sent the whole lot of them to the bog over that." Sarah stops walking; she was laughing hard and holding her sides.

Jareth looked at her and tilted his head to the side. "What is so funny?" Her laughing slows and then starts up all over again. "I got a mental picture of you in a room full of goblins singing this is the song that never ends."

"Bloody hell Sarah, do not say that again. One of them could hear you." She walks to him and takes his hands. "Oh it can't be that bad."

"No Sarah, worse, picture about fifty or more of Ruckus in one room singing that bloody song."

Sarah smiles at him. "How did you get them to stop? Wait, how did they even learn that song?"

He pulls her to him. "I took their TVs away and MacKayla and I hid in the library until they stopped. Well it is not really a TV; it is just a crystal that plays kid shows from aboveground."

She leans back and eyes his face. "The goblins watch cartoons."

"How else would you have me keep them occupied?" He lowers his lips to her and kisses her with all the passion he feels. "Sarah?"

She opens her eyes and looks into his. "Mmm."

He cresses her cheek as his thumb runs over her bottom lip. "Can I keep you?"

Orlaith watches her son and his love. It is about time my son. Now I just need to see what your brother is up to.
