Chapter 11
(Soon)
Jareth walked down the tower steps pleased. He was certainly feeling much better than he had when he'd entered the tower. "Feel free to help yourself to any of the wenches in the castle." He told his guards. "With the exception of Sarah that is."
Damien smirked. "No sire, I don't imagine you'd want to share that one."
"Sarah will please me and only me." He confirmed. However should you feel the need of another let me know. It's entirely possible I could even arrange for something from a foreign noble or member of royalty." With a glance at his captain he said, "I know for a fact you enjoyed Princess Nelissa's attentions."
"She was talented." Talon said unashamed. The other guards chuckled.
"I want everyone summoned to the sentencing square in the morning." The king said changing the subject.
"As you wish." The captain replied. "Do you want Lady Sarah bound again?"
Jareth thought for a moment. "No. I want her free to beg for me to show mercy to them."
"I didn't think you were planning on giving them mercy." Cannon commented.
"The only mercy they will be shown is in keeping their lives and only if Sarah completely submits to me." The King informed his personal guards. "After tomorrow morning no subject will dare oppose my commands."
"Shall I have a chair placed next to your sentencing throne for Lady Sarah?" Talon inquired. "Or do you wish her to be on the ground next to you?"
"No. Put a stool there." The Goblin King replied. "She will know her place. Besides I have a feeling she'll be on her knees begging most of the time for me to release those worthless creatures." he said with disdain.
"I shall retire for now." He said, reaching the throne room. "As I said before, feel free to make use of a wench." The guards nodded and Jareth walked away.
Calmly the king walked through the halls of his castle toward his room. The castle was very quiet now with most of its inhabitants asleep. He entered his rooms and closed the door.
Jareth walked over to a small cabinet within his chambers and poured himself a glass of brandy. The drink in hand he walked out to his balcony and sat down in a chair enjoying the calmness. He glanced toward the tower he knew Sarah was in. He wasn't sorry for whipping her. He wouldn't tolerate disobedience from a wench even if it was his dark haired obsession. He wasn't even sorry he'd made her pleasure him in front of his guards.
The King hadn't planned on doing anything with the girl until she'd agreed to appease him completely but his anger had gotten the better of him. It wasn't that he had planned to be nice to her and win her. He'd simply planned on conquering her all at once. Something he couldn't do until she agreed to give him full use of her body.
Jareth sighed, hating the stupid centuries old rule. So what if a woman was a noble? They were still his subjects. He should be free to have anyone at any time he wished.
Still he had thoroughly enjoyed the feel of Sarah's mouth on him. The girl might have been an innocent but he'd fully enjoyed every movement her mouth had made. He smiled knowing it would be even harder for the girl to resist him now.
His essence was now in her body. When she'd swallowed, even if forced to do so, his essence had been allowed to enter her body. Once a mortal tasted a Fae they were unable to resist them as they had before. Sarah would still be able to resist him easily enough unless he began giving her body attentions. Once that happened, it would be only a matter of time until the girl submitted. The King smiled at the thought. Sarah would be in his bed where she belonged seeing to his every whim.
Jareth took a drink of his brandy and sighed, letting the tension wash off him. Not that he had much after Sarah's administrations. Those three traitors may have disobeyed him again but they'd pay for it and make it impossible for him to deny him. She was too loyal to her friends to not accept his terms and spare her friends lives.
Jareth suddenly felt less relaxed as his thoughts turned to the three traitors. He wondered how Sarah could look upon a repulsive scab like Hoggle when he was around. She might have resisted him during her run but it no longer mattered. A wicked smile graced his handsome face as he thought of the fact Hoggle had ultimately delivered the girl to him anyway.
The Goblin King finished his brandy and had the sudden urge to see just how the traitors were enjoying the stocks.
"Don't stop what you're doing or who you're doing Talon. I've decided to see how the traitors are fairing."
"I'll follow." came an almost strangled reply.
"No need. I won't be there long."
Jareth smirked, knowing his captain had taken his advice to use a wench within the castle. He wasn't surprised though. The Goblin King imagined all his guards were enjoying a wench. How could they not after seeing Sarah naked, even if it was from the back. Not to mention witnessing him make use of the girl's mouth.
Jareth vanished from his room and appeared just inside the open area of the square. The two guards noticed him and immediately bowed. The King gave them a nod and walked toward the three traitors.
"Comfortable?" The king asked in his English accent.
"Ya know we ain't." Hoggle grumbled.
"Pity." He commented and looked up at the stars. "This could have been avoided if you'd simply kept your mouth shut and done as you were told." The Goblin King reminded them.
"Fair maiden should not be tricked." Sir Didymus told him.
The king smiled pleased. "Perhaps but it no longer matters. I no longer need to trick the girl." The Goblin King informed them.
"You can't take her title, she won!" Hoggle said horrified at what would happen to his friend if she lost her title.
"Not at all. Sarah will keep the title Lady for now."
"Sawrah." The gentle beast said sadly.
Jareth looked at the large hairy orange beast. The beast was the only one he felt any pity for. Ludo was big and perhaps strong but he was also gentle and easily led astray. It probably hadn't taken much for the dwarf and knight to persuade the hairy beast they should try to help Sawrah escape.
"Your friend will recover." Jareth told the beast.
"Recover? What'd you do to her?!" Hoggle demanded.
"I whipped her." The Goblin King said simply. "No one disobeys me. Not even a pretty wench like her."
"Fair maiden." Didymus said sadly.
"How could you?!" Hoggle growled at him.
Jareth laughed at the Dwarf. "You are hardly in a position to stop me now are you?" He watched as the dwarf glared at him and the King chuckled. "By tomorrow Sarah will be agreeing to anything I wish. Just think Hogrot if you hadn't given that peach to her she'd have actually escaped me. Thanks to you she's forever mine. Sleep well." The king said and calmly walked out of the square and out of view.
Jareth entered the gardens, pleased by the horror he'd caused the dwarf. The dwarf would be forever haunted by his deed, even with Sarah's forgiveness.
The Goblin King felt a shift in the air and then King Ormond, High King of the Unseelie court appeared.
"My Liege." The Goblin King said bowing his head to the higher king.
"Jareth. Things are beginning to happen. You must choose!" The Unseely High King said firmly.
"I already have." Jareth replied.
"Goblin King your little obsession is.."
"Sleeping in one of my towers." Jareth interrupted.
"You have her?" King Ormond inquired.
The Goblin King smiled pleased. "Yes."
"You can get her to agree?" The higher King questioned and rubbed his short well trimmed black beard.
"Oh come tomorrow she'll agree to anything I wish." Jareth said arrogantly.
"You underestimated the girl once before." King Ormond reminded him.
"True, but she'll do it to save her friends." The higher king gave him a questioning look. "The three traitors tried to escape with her this evening."
"Where are they?" The higher King said angrily.
"The traitors are in the sentencing square until they receive judgment in the morning. Sarah is of course in her room in the tower."
"You're going to let the traitors off if she agrees to submit to you? I can't believe you'd let them off so easy."
"Oh no. They will learn a very painful lesson." The Goblin King said not hiding his anger toward the knight, rock caller, and dwarf.
"Then why would she submit to you?" The Unseely high king questioned.
"She'll submit so that I spare their lives." Jareth replied coldly.
"If she doesn't?"
"I kill them and she'll still eventually come to me willingly." The Goblin king told him. "I made her taste me." He added a moment later.
King Ormond laughed wickedly. "Excellent. Yes, you'll have the girl. I'll give you tomorrow but I will return the following morning. We have plans to discuss. It's time the Seely court bowed to us." Jareth nodded and Ormond disappeared.
Jareth looked toward the tower, pleased. Soon Sarah would be in his bed and the UnSeely court would take over the underground.
