CHAPTER 12

Jareth stopped before they got to the castle and he pulled her into the entrance of the Labyrinth instead.

He said, "It does matter to me what you think about me as a person. We had such a misconstrued time eleven years ago and we both didn't understand what was happening. I thought you knew what I was offering you but I should have known you were too young to understand my feelings at the time. Besides, I should have known you probably thought I was trying to manipulate or deceive you after your run. Sarah, Toby was in his bed as soon as you made that leap of faith. The rest was unnecessary but you wouldn't have known that. I did a lot of thinking about it over the last eleven years." He was feeling vulnerable and he didn't like it. She reached her hand up and caressed his chin running her thumb over his lips. Her other hand slid up his arm and down his chest inside his shirt caressing his breast and heart.

She said, "Will you kiss me again, Jareth." He backed her into a tree trunk. His tongue was searing her and making her pulse rate go up. It felt so right and so good to both of them. His hand was rubbing her lower back and the other was in her hair cupping her head. He broke the kiss and started kissing her neck and ear.

He whispered, "I never want to stop. I crave you, Sarah. I could get lost in you so very easily and never stop touching you." She was lost in the feeling of his lips on her mouth and skin. She was breathing heavily and he was searing her skin with his teeth and tongue.

Sarah whispered and said, "We need to go inside. I want you. I've never been with anyone before, Jareth. It's too cold out here and my kitten will get cold." He transported them to his chamber.

They were unaware that they were being observed by unknown eyes in the Labyrinth…

When they appeared in Jareth's chamber. Sarah walked over to the fireplace, took off her cloak and kicked off her boots and socks. She fed the kitten and woke him up. She knew he would be crying any minute so she didn't want to be disturbed right now. He watched her gently say sweet words to the tiny creature while she fed it. She went to her room and had a small bag full of moss and she pinched a little and got the kitten to potty with it. She kissed his head and put him back in his pouch. She turned and smiled.

She said, "It's how a mother cat get him to go to the bathroom and the tummy rubs make him digest his food better. I read it somewhere long ago. I'm his mother now. I was very lonely coming here and traveling under disguise. If you want me you'll have to accept that my kitten needs my supervision every few hours. He is my responsibility I took on because I was abandoned myself by my family and I promised I would take care of him. Cats are very loving and playful animals in the Aboveground."

Jareth laughed and said, "I'll take you with your kit. You can find joy in him if that's what you want. It's nice that you are so nurturing. Your children will know they are loved with your affection." She stood up and took the kitten and laid the pouch on the side of the bed.

Jareth walked up to Sarah. He put his arms around her and walked Sarah backwards to the side of his bed, kissing her. She paused him and took off her belt, gun, corset and jewelry. She put them on the table next to the bed with the hair combs from her hair. He pushed her back and put his knee between her thighs and bent it to kneel on the bed, laying her gently backwards onto his bed. He broke the kiss and said, "Sarah, I'll be as gentle as I can. Don't be afraid. I'll take care of you."

She wrapped her leg from under her skirt around him and flipped him on his back. He was surprised. She licked his neck and started nibbling on his skin. She was so inexperienced and drove him insane with her doing such a sexy moves. She took possession of his mouth devouring him. She clasped his hands interlocking their fingers and she had them pinned on each side of his head. She pulled on his bottom lip until it snapped back. His blood was racing. She ran her nose along his neck breathing heavily.

She said, "You smell intoxicating."

He couldn't stand it any longer and flipped her on her back and released her hands and pulled her blouse off. He undid her bra and took it off and tossed it in the same direction. His mouth licked and sucked on her nipples while unbuttoning her skirt and putting his hands inside her leggings and underwear. His hands were inside her underwear running around her hips and cupping her ass pushing her pelvis against his very uncomfortable bulge in his own pants.

He suddenly sat up and pulled his shirt off over his own head and hovered, leaning over Sarah with his pendant swing back and forth over her. He was breathing heavily looking into her eyes. He said, "I'm in love with you, Sarah. I have been for a very long time. I thought I lost you forever." He caressed her lips and cheek with his thumbs as he leaned on his elbows. "I couldn't go through that and survive it again."

He started kissing her again and the rest of her clothes and his own vanished. He spread her legs and knees and lay between her thighs resting his pelvis against hers. He said, "You are the most precious thing to me." His hands were setting her skin on fire. His declarations were moving her beyond words.

Her hands were exploring his body gliding over his smooth skin from his shoulders to his buttocks and in his soft hair. She licked the tip of his ear and he let out an animalistic growl. She reached up and started massaging the tips of his ears and his one eye changed from a round pupil to a slit like a cat's eye and he let out a growl.

He said with intense restraining control, "Precious, please, I need you to let me keep control or I may hurt you during your first time." She let go and caressed down his back. She must have stumbled upon a fae erogenous zone. He put his forehead to hers and closed his eyes, reigning back his wild animal side. She deeply took possession of his mouth dancing her tongue with his.

His cock started slipping into her slowly until he hit her hymen. He paused and said softly looking in her eyes, "I'm sorry." He quickly punched through it and sheathed himself completely inside her.

She yelled out, "Ah!" in pain and grasped him with her arms around his shoulders and legs wrapped around his hips. He gave her a few moments to get settled and he started moving slowly thrusting. He felt her hips moving with his own. He sat up on his knees with his knees spread under her spread legs and was watching his bloody cock moving in and out of her perfect tight pussy. He couldn't believe the evidence of her purity was all over his cock. It was a beautiful gift for her to give it to him. No, he would never share her or love another woman. Only her, forever.

Sarah moaned and said, "Jareth, please go faster." He started pumping faster, hooking his hips and circling his pelvis to give her all the pleasure he could. He laid his body back down on top of her and started kissing her again. He felt her muscles flutter on the inside telling him she was close to orgasm. He increased his pace, grasping her hips for leverage.

Suddenly, she screamed his name and her pussy clamped down hard, strangling his cock. It caught him off guard and his ejaculation slammed into him taking his breath away. He came with a shout of her name on his lips. He came so hard he saw white stars explode behind his eyes. His magic reached out and twined around their bodies, but he felt another wild magic join with his. It heightened his awareness of her emotions. He felt her love radiating from her mind and spirit. She didn't say anything but clinched her eyes closed.

She whispered in his ear and kissed his neck, "I love you, Jareth." He forced himself up on his elbows and looked into her beautiful green watery eyes and saw everything he felt in that moment of their magic joining together until now. He had heard of this before but it was so extremely rare among the fae people because they only made political marriages and never stayed monogamous. It was called the "An Cheangail" to his people. When only two perfectly matched fae magics combine into one causing a communication link between each other. She was definitely fae and this just proved it.

He said, "I love you dearly, Sarah. There is something you should know, my precious. What we just felt was called the "An Cheangail". It's when two fae join together their magic when having sex. It's like a mental, physical and spiritual connection is formed between a perfectly matched couple. It's extremely rare and I've never heard or met anyone who has done this before."

Sarah said, "Jareth, I'm really a fae then aren't I?"

He said, "I think you are. I saw healing magic swirling around you while you were singing along with Orrian's diagnosis, your appearance and now this, just proved it. This couldn't have occurred if you didn't have magic of your own or not be fae. I feel you now, on the inside. Do you feel me now too?" She nodded yes.

She asked scared, "Jareth, what is going on with me. How could I have changed like this? Can we find out?"

He said softly, "I think you were fae in your family and your fae genes were dormant inside you. Now that you are exposed to magic, you turned into a fae."

She said, "I noticed a change in the shape of my ears, eyes and hair after returning from the Labyrinth when I was fifteen years old. It was about three days later but nobody else seemed to notice or say anything. I have always felt like a square peg in a round hole all my life. Like I didn't fit in, until I came here." He caressed her face and kissed her.

He said, "You'll always belong with me, Sarah my love." She started to cry. He held her to him and rolled them into their side. "It's ok, my love. I'll always be beside you, to love you and to help you anyway I can."

She sniffled, "Me too." She smiled through her tears. "Jareth is there anyway to find out what's going on with me?"

He said, "I'll take you to my father, mother and his healer tomorrow. They will know, if anyone will."

She said, "Ok." He sat up and cleaned their bodies and the bedding with magic. He turned up the flames on the fireplace. They got under the covers and cuddled with her head on his chest.

She yawned and said, "Goodnight, Jareth. I love you."

He held her tighter and said, "I love you too, my precious." He kissed her head and they fell asleep in each other's arms

—--33rd day

Sarah periodically got up in the night and sat the bottle of milk next to the bed. It was getting low and she was going to have to ask Orrian for more. She went back to sleep next to Jareth.

When morning came Sarah was so comfortable and warm. She snuggled into the warmth surrounding her. Jareth was awake watching her snuggle into his arms and neck. She made cute little squeaky noises. He loved how she felt against his body. She molded against him perfectly. Not too big or too small. She had her leg wrapped around his leg with her knee between his legs. Her hand was on his chest and her head rested against his shoulder. He could feel her breath on his neck and skin. He was truly content in his soul for the first time in his 527 years. He could say he wanted for nothing. She finally made him happy.

She stirred, making a little squeaky noise. She sat up all sleepy eyed and looked into his eyes and said, "Good morning, my loving king." He smiled at her and moved some of her wild dark locks away from her face.

He said softly, "Good morning, my most loveliest of creatures." She leaned in and kissed his mouth. Jareth buried both of his hands in her hair thoroughly taking advantage of the sweetest mouth he ever tasted. He broke the kiss and rolled her on her back and entered her. She moaned out loud in such a sexy way, arching her back into him. He closed his eyes at the sensation of how she made him feel when he connected with her. It overwhelmed his senses. Sex has never felt like this before and he had had a lot of it. It was all gratification and nothing else. This was the most euphoric feeling ever.

He began slowly thrusting his hips grinding his pelvis into her clitoris. He started to speed up and the rush of feeling of his body and the feeling of her emotions melding with his own were driving him into sexual stimulation like he never felt before. Everything had intensified. The only thing he could compare it to was like running really fast and jumping off a cliff when changing into his owl form. It was exhilarating.

Sarah said, "Faster, harder. I can feel you, Jareth. I love how we feel and taste together."

He started pounding her tight little pussy. He felt her relax and constrict the muscles as he moved; it was like she was milking him. He went wild and started kissing, licking, biting and sucking her skin. She tasted like ambrosia. He couldn't get enough.

They both detonated like dynamite at the same time. Like an explosion of the senses. He kept cumming, pulsing and squirting over and over. He felt her too. Sarah felt like she was having a spasm orgasm. She had masterbated before but never felt anything like this before until last night, but this time she sensed his ejaculation and her own it was unbelievable. They cling to each other's bodies wrapped around each other panting, sweating and gripping tightly.

She said, "I've never felt like this before. I'm floating."

He whispered, "I know, my love. Me too."

They were quietly just coming down together. He rolled her on top of his body. She laid her head on his chest brushing her fingers through his damp hair massaging his scalp. He was so relaxed.

There was a knock on the door and Jareth just wanted to ignore it. It rapped again. Sarah groaned. He kissed her head and rolled her to the side and sat up in bed. He magically cleaned himself and fully dressed himself. He rose to go answer the door.

He opened the door and found his advisor Malichi standing there. Jareth said, "What is it?"

Malachi said, "The Fairy King is here to see you about an important matter."

Jareth said, "Isn't he aware what time it is in the morning?"

Malachi said, "I don't think he cares, sire, and he never has when he wants what he wants." Jareth nodded and was angry at being disturbed at 7am, when he was so content to hold his Sarah after eleven long years.

He said, "I'll be down in the informal throne room. I must tell Sarah where I'll be. She will be my betrothed before the end of this day. I hope." Malachi's eyes widened. He couldn't believe Jareth was going to finally take a mate. His father had been hounding him for the last century to settle down. Sarah, wait, what?

Malachi said, "But, sire, she's human."

Jareth smiled and chuckled, "She's not anymore. Something wonderful has happened. I'll discuss it later."

Malachi said, "Yes sire, I'll be there too with the Fairy King, if you like, when you greet him?" Jareth nodded. Jareth shut the door and walked back into the room. Sarah was nowhere to be seen. A second later she walked out of the bathroom in his bathrobe.

He smiled and said, "I like how you look in my clothes." She shyly smiled at him.

Sarah said, "Jareth , who was that at the door?"

He huffed and said, "My advisor, Malachi. The fairy King is down in the informal throne room waiting for me. I have no idea what the hell he wants at 7 am, but I'll be back. Go bathe and put on a pretty dress in your room, if you want to, precious."

Her smile faded and she asked, "Whose clothes are in my room? I thought it was someone else's room I was sharing or something?"

Jareth chuckled and said, "No my love, those were all made for you and have been waiting for you to wear them for eleven years." She was surprised that he went to such an expense and thoughtfulness to have done all that. He kept them for her all these years. It showed her his hope for her to come back to him.

She had tears in her eyes and ran into his arms. She said, "Oh Jareth you waited so long. I'm so sorry."

He said, patting and kissing her head, "I'm not sorry for waiting. It's better this way. You're old enough and more beautiful than ever. I'll be back soon, precious. I need to ask you something important when I return." He kissed her and left for the throne room.
