Chapter Three:

Let Me Sleep Beside You

Sarah was digging through her drawers looking for something for Jareth to wear. He was still naked. She pulled out one pair of her pajama bottoms and threw them at him. "Here put these on. You are not going au naturale."

Jareth looked at them distastefully. They were pink with little golden tiaras. His disgust grew when he saw the word, "Princess," in glittery pink bubble letters written across the rear. He scowled at Sarah, "I'm not wearing this. Its pink and quite untrue. I'm a King, not a princess. I'd rather be stark naked."

"You're not staying naked. I don't care what it is, as long as it covers your... area." Sarah gestured to his groin.

"I'll put something on, if it pleases you. Oh by the way, I found this under the bed while I was hiding from your stepmother. You've been holding out on me."

Jareth was holding the magic sack she got as Christmas present. "Sarah, why didn't you say you had a magic sack sooner?"

Sarah raised an eyebrow. "Oh, that thing? I don't know who gave that to me, but I use it to put stuff that stuff away that I don't want my parents to find. How did you know it was magic?"

"It positively reeked of magic. I could smell it. It smells somehow familiar, but I can't quite place it." Jareth replied.

Jareth then reached into the sack and Sarah watched his whole arm disappear in a space it could not realistically fit. She saw him pull out the questionable presents she got from all her friends one by one. His face lit up with delight when he saw the bottle of wine and the bag of herbs that had an unfortunate resemblance to a certain, illicit plant. When he saw the outfit that the goblins made for her, a wolfish grin appeared on his face. "My oh my, precious. What have we here?"

Sarah blushed and snatched the scanty outfit out of his hands. "The goblins made it for me. I don't think it'll fit you but you're welcome to try it on."

"I would much rather see you try it on. Besides, I do not have an ample enough bosom to fill these cups, and it would be uncomfortably tight around my rather generous crotch." Jareth purred.

Sarah blushed furiously as she instinctively glanced down. She tried to retort with something witty but thanks to his distracting crotch all she could manage was; "Just shaft it— I mean penis— I mean— just shut up!" Sarah turned around unable to face him. She wanted, at that very moment, to crawl under a rock and hide.

Although Jareth was having much fun teasing his queen, he decided that perhaps she'd had enough for one day. He picked up a blanket from her bed and wrapped himself with it. "You can turn around now, Sarah."

Sarah cautiously turned around, and she immediately relaxed when she noticed that Jareth's area was now covered. Jareth was reaching into the magic sack again with a puzzled expression. "There's something else in here. Something quite large and heavy. Sarah, could you hold this open?"

While Sarah held the magic sack, Jareth reached in with both arms and pulled with all of his strength. They both overestimated the effort required and when a large trunk came out, they both landed on their butts with a loud thud. Jareth stood up. Unfortunately, the blanket he used to cover himself got caught on the trunk and once again exposed himself to Sarah. "Jareth! Cover yourself! I'm starting to think you're doing that on purpose."

Jareth looked at her innocently. "I'm not flashing you on purpose, Sarah. Honest!"

Sarah sighed. Normally she'd argue with him until she was blue in the face, but she was tired, "Fine. You can stay naked for all I care. I'll just ignore you're thingy dangling there and staring at me. Piece of cake." The 'thingy' in question twitched. Sarah inhaled sharply and with all her will, she pulled her gaze away. Changing the subject she asked, "So, who's luggage is this?" She pointed at the large trunk.

Jareth was examining the trunk that came from the magic sack. Sarah did not recognize it. She leaned closer to examine it. It looked like an expensive Victorian era trunk made from mahogany with carvings of goblins and covered in glitter. It had the initials 'GK' painted gold and carved on the top of the lid. Sarah had a strong suspicion on whose it was. "Jareth? What's your luggage doing in my magic sack?"

Jareth was as puzzled as her and honestly replied, "I don't remember this trunk, it's not mine."

Jareth opened the old trunk. They saw stylish black suits, that would not have been out of place in a cabaret act, all neatly folded. They found a jewelry box that matched the trunk with gold cufflinks, a pocket watch with thirteen numbers, and a signet ring all made from solid gold with the same crescent shaped symbol Sarah had seen him wear around his neck. Sarah spotted a gold and mother of pearl snuff box and in it was white powder that glittered if looked at it a certain way. "Jareth? What is this stuff?"

Jareth looked at her nervously. He remembered what that stuff was. "It's fairy dust, made from dried flower fairies and ground into a fine powder. It has many uses, some of which are recreational. It's not mine. I'm holding it for a friend?" Jareth finished weakly.

Sarah turned the snuff box over, and on the under side of it was an engraving of Jareth's face. She smirked. "Hey, it's a picture of you!"

Jareth looked sheepish. "Okay maybe it's mine. Everyone was doing it many years ago, and it's one of many bad habits that I kicked the day I met you. I've cleaned up quite a bit for you."

Sarah was touched that Jareth changed a lot for her, but she still could help but wonder about his past. They also found several things that Sarah recognized; a pair of tight pants, a poet shirt, a leather belt with a buckle in the same shape as his sickle-shaped pendent, and a pair of leather boots that she remembered a certain Goblin King favored so much. Taking up the most room however were various toiletries and hygiene products ranging from basic shaving supplies to several cans of hair spray and a lots of body glitter. There was also a family-sized container of leg wax. Even Sarah's mother, the infamous prima donna Linda, never owned this amount of make-up. Sarah giggled and snorted at Jareth's vast amount of beauty products. "Not yours, huh?"

"Don't laugh, it's hard work being beautiful. Okay, maybe this is my luggage. It does bear the royal insignia of the goblin crown, and that is most certainly my hair brush, but I am telling the truth when I say that there is much that I cannot remember." Jareth admitted.

Sarah's eyes lit up when she saw black satin pajamas with the initials 'GK' embroidered in gold thread. She grabbed the pajama bottoms and threw them at Jareth. "Here put these on, and look they're not pink nor do they say princess, so you should have no problem."

To Sarah's relief Jareth was finally putting some pants on, but now she had bigger problems than a naked Jareth to deal with. "Okay Jareth, we have to somehow get you back to your world and hopefully restore you memory before my parents come back. I can't keep hiding you under my bed. We were lucky my parents didn't catch you. So any ideas?"

Jareth rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Sorry precious, I have none at the moment. Perhaps in the morning something will come to me. For now, lets sleep."

Jareth slipped into her bed and under the covers. He patted a spot next to him invitingly and smiled seductively at her. Sarah scowled at him, "We are not sharing the same bed."

Jareth's smile dropped. "Where do you propose I sleep? I cannot and will not sleep on the floor."

"You can always turn back into an owl and sleep in one of my drawers." Sarah replied.

Jareth sighed in disappointment and reluctantly got out of Sarah's bed. "Very well, but are you sure we can't share the bed? What if I turn into my owl form and stay in that form until morning?"

Sarah was tired from her long day and no longer had the energy to argue. "Fine. We can share the bed, but only if you stay in your owl form until morning. If I feel hands wandering where they shouldn't, I'm kicking you outside."

Jareth smiled happily, "Agreed. Good night, love. Ah, and happy birthday. Oh, I forgot to get you a present! Hold on, I think there might be something in my luggage that I can give you, and no its not a dead rodent this time."

Jareth dug through the trunk and pulled out a gold signet ring with his royal insignia that they found earlier. He remembered the significant meaning of a man giving a woman a ring among in this world. In his heart and in his kingdom she was already his beloved wife. He had wanted to give her a pendant that matched his own, the symbol of his office, but he thought that this ring would do nicely for now. Jareth handed the gold ring to her with a warm smile. "Here you go love, solid goblin gold, a gift worthy of a queen. Happy birthday Sarah, and I'm sorry I couldn't give you something more."

Sarah gasped at the beautiful ring and felt something in her chest flutter at his kind gesture. It's meaning was not completely lost on her but she dismissed it. 'It's just a birthday present. It's not unusual for girls to get jewelry on their birthdays, and it's not like he got down on his knees and proposed to me. Besides, how can any girl refuse beautiful jewelry?' So Sarah happily accepted the ring and she gave him a genuine smile. "Thank you Jareth, it's beautiful. This is probably the best present I got today."

Jareth felt his heart swell and overflow with joy when his beloved gave him a real smile. 'That's the first time one of her beautiful smiles was directed at me.' Jareth returned her smile and said, "You're most welcome, Sarah. Here, let me help you with that."

Jareth put his ring on multiple fingers for the best fit. It just so happened to fit her left ring finger perfectly and Jareth thought happily to himself, 'How does that human wedding ritual go again? Ah, yes, with this ring I do thee wed.' In puff of glitter he turned back into an owl and fluttered back onto her bed.

Sarah slipped under her blankets and felt Jareth cuddling her. Sarah smiled at her feathered companion and said to him, "I guess today wasn't a total disaster, good night to you too, Jareth." She had many questions running in her mind that she wanted to ask Jareth. Questions like what happened to her friends if he's been stuck in her world as an owl since she defeated him, but it would have to wait until morning. Instead, she admired the new gold ring on her finger, and a deep part of her felt like it belonged there.

Together they slipped into the world of dreams, and the Goblin King and his Queen slept peacefully. Unknown to both of them, one of the wolf shaped rocks that Ludo gave Sarah was glowing on her bookshelf. It was the pale colored wolf that had many deep scratches in it. With a brief glow of magic the deep scratches healed themselves.

Sarah woke up the next morning feeling more refreshed and relaxed then she had in years. She was laying on top of something warm and comfortable. Whatever it was smelled really nice. It was a sweet, yet spicy scent of leather and lilacs. She snuggled further into the warm and very comfortable pillow and inhaled the wonderful scent. Her new pillow made her tingle pleasantly in a way like she had never felt before, like there was a growing heat in her groin, and she wanted more. She ground her hips against her pillow to get more of that wonderful warm sensation, wanting more friction. Both Sarah and her pillow then groaned with pleasure. 'Wait a minute. Pillows usually don't groan.' Sarah realized who her 'pillow' was when she felt something long and hard grinding against her crotch. She opened her eyes, and sure enough, it was Jareth; awake, shirtless, and smiling radiantly at her. "Good morning, precious. Looks like someone is up for nice morning shag."

Sarah moved away from him as if he were made of hot coals and fell on the floor with a loud thump. She had forgotten that the Goblin King was here, and she remembered something else as well. "Hey! I said you could sleep with me only if you stayed in your owl form!"

Jareth raised his eyebrow at her. "I thought most women would prefer sleeping with me in my human form. I didn't know your preferences leaned more toward animals…"

Sarah threw a pillow at him where it landed square in his face. She growled angrily at him, "That's not what I meant, and you know it!"

Jareth threw his hands up in surrender and laughed. "I know, love! I was just teasing you a little, and I distinctly recall you saying to stay in my owl form until morning. The sun has long since risen, and it is well into morning. Besides, I kept my hands from wandering into places on your person that you did not want them to go. I simply let your hands do the wandering. Oh, and I have some great news, it seems that a little more of my magic returned during the night. Though, unfortunately, it is nowhere near what I once had, and nowhere near enough to take me back to my labyrinth. At least now I can do a few parlor tricks."

Jareth summoned a crystal and Sarah watched him gracefully move the crystal from one arm to the other. With a quick flick of his wrist the crystal turned into the most colorful butterfly Sarah had ever seen. The butterfly fluttered onto her nose making Sarah giggle, and it then disappeared into a shower of colorful light.

Sarah stood up and stretched her legs. Her stomach made its hunger known and she looked at her clock. "All right Jareth, my parents should be long gone by now. So lets get Toby and get some breakfast. My little brother should be waking up soon, anyway."

Jareth remembered her little brother fondly. "Ah, your baby brother. How is the little chap?"

"He's almost three now, and quite the mess maker. Last night he decided that applesauce made a great finger paint and redecorated his room with it." Sarah replied.

Jareth chuckled. "I've cleaned up worse. Try cleaning up the throne room after the goblins insisted on turning it into an ale hall. Now, if don't mind, I'd like to use your shower. Your wandering hands have given me a little problem."

Jareth stood up throwing blankets off himself and his satin pajamas did nothing to hide his 'little problem'. Sarah blushed and she couldn't help but blurt out, "Oh my God! You call that little?!"

Jareth grinned and waggled his eyebrows suggestively. "You're more then welcome to join me in the shower, precious. We can scrub each other's backs and get all those hard-to-reach places."

Sarah's face was now the color of a tomato. A part of her was tempted to join him, but vehemently denied that part. 'Why would I want to hop in the shower with him?! He's the Goblin King! Just because he has a sexy voice and a hot ass and a large peni— Whoa Sarah, stop that train of thought right there! We're just friends right now, and he hasn't exactly been the model of trustworthiness in the past.' She shook her head of dirty thoughts of just the two of them in the shower and managed to stutter out, "I need to get it up— I mean, I need to get Toby up. I have to go."

Sarah ran out of room, groaning in embarrassment and her hormones blaring at her to jump Jareth's bones. Sarah fetched Toby from his room and took her time getting him dressed so that she could think about Jareth. Around Toby she could think aloud and she could trust him to keep her secrets. "What do I do, Toby? Jareth tells me that he really likes me, and I'll admit, I've had this teeny tiny crush, okay maybe a huge crush on him, but I never thought it would turn into anything. He was a psychopath, a really sexy psychopath, but a psychopath nonetheless. I mean he broke into our house, stole you, scared me out of my wits with metal machines of death one moment and flirted with me the next. What if he's trying to trick me? What if he's lying about liking me? What if he leaves me like my mom did? Or worse what if just wants another notch on his belt?"

Toby gurgled and laughed at his big sister. "Wuv you!"

Sarah laughed at her little brother as she wrestled another sock on him. "You're right, Toby. What if this could be my chance at true love? Just look at the guy and compare him with rest of the guys at my school. Jareth is a plate full of chocolate truffles and they're all plain boring oatmeal with no spice. I'm not going to settle for boring oatmeal when I could have delicious chocolate truffles. After all nothing is what is seems, right? It's not impossible for yesterday's enemy to be tomorrow's lover."

Sarah groaned as she remembered yesterday's horoscope. "I can't believe this, that crappy horoscope was actually right! Well, I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day."

Sarah finally got Toby dressed and led him downstairs to watch TV while she figured out breakfast. She then heard Jareth calling her name. "I wonder what Jareth wants? Well, I guess I better go see."

As soon as Sarah ran out of the room, Jareth found his own way to the bathroom with a large box almost overflowing with what he considered the absolute basic necessities of hygiene. It was a fairly large bathroom that connected to her parent's bedroom and had a venetian decor. He suspected that Sarah had helped with the decoration. The shower was a large corner stall with a seat big enough for two people and transparent glass panes. 'Well, this bathroom was made with hanky-panky in mind.' Jareth chuckled to himself. He turned on the faucet and sighed with relief when he stripped himself of his restraining pants. The warm spray of the water helped him relax, and he gently lathered his body with a lilac and leather scented soap he remembered making himself. His hands slowly worked their way down to his growing erection as he turned his mind to pleasant thoughts of Sarah. Like, how perfectly she fit into his arms, or how wonderful it was to have her warm body pressed up against him this morning. He brought his hand around his throbbing length and started to pleasure himself. He memorized what her naked body looked like when she stripped for him thinking he was just a mere owl.

When Sarah ran his Labyrinth she was in that precarious stage between child and woman. She was a woman in body, but with those damn childlike eyes that reflected a mind that had yet to fully mature. Now she was most definitely a woman. He saw the way she had beautifully matured. Her once innocent eyes now looked at him with a decidedly adult desire, and she had generous curves that he longed to run his hands along. He knew those full breasts of hers were as soft and warm as they looked. He felt them pressed against his chest earlier this morning. He continued to pleasure himself as he imagined what it would feel like to bury himself in that warm soft place between her legs, and he chanted her name like a mantra. He quickened his hand's pace as he imagined himself thrusting into her until he finally climaxed, moaning in ecstasy."I love you, Sarah." Jareth watched his spilled seed go down the drain, the tension from his whole body had gone. So relaxed was he, that he did not hear the door open.

Author's Notes: In which Sarah sleeps with Jareth, literally, much to Jareth's dismay. And we discover Jareth's past fairy dust problem. Yes, it is a bit of a reference to David Bowie's past problems with cocaine. It actually got so bad that Keith Richards of all people told him to slow down. True story. Yes, I know, I'm a David Bowie nerd, I blame my upbringing and rock music nerd parents. Though, what I wouldn't give to be the fly on the wall for that conversation. I honestly believe Keith Richards was afraid that David Bowie might snort up the entire world's supply of the stuff. How David Bowie is still alive is a medical mystery, then again I wonder about most other rockstars. Thank you everyone for your kind reviews, and all the favorites! I will keep writing! I've got chapter four finished and I may post it sooner if people ask me enough, but I still need a beta. Next chapter will include: the labyrinth, first base, and a beast!
