A knock upon the bedroom door interrupted Jareth and Sarah's intimate embrace. "Sarah?", Karen's voice was heard from the other side. Sarah' s heart jumped up into her throat as she began to panic. How would she explain the presence of Jareth to Karen, much less try to explain what she was doing with him? "Uh..um..go away!" the girl shouted. "Sarah..." Karen's voice sounded from the other side, "please can we talk? I'm...I'm sorry. I'm just worried about you is all."
Jareth began to nuzzel into Sarah's neck and place little kisses along the base of her jawline. Aggravation re-surfaced from the girl. A green glare met a mischevious expression. He chuckled at how more flushed she had become. "Stop", she mouthed, but that only goaded him to continue his little game. Oh how he was going to enjoy teasing her for the rest of their lives.
Sarah grabbed hold of the smiling fae's shoulders and directed him to stand against the wall behind the door. She gave him a stern look and a finger to her flushed mouth to signal him to be quiet. A toothy grin spread across his face. Sarah's stern look turned beseeching. She gave him another signal to be quiet. Grabbing hold of the door nob she cracked the door wide enough to only allow her face to peek through. Karen was still in the hallway as expected. The older woman took in the girl's appearance. She looked disheviled and flushed. "Karen, I am fine, I forgive you. Now please will you leave me alone?" Sarah began with controlled nervousness. Karen picked up on the strange behavior. "Oh Sarah, I'm just concerned for you..." The girl jumped and hitched her breath with a strange look on her face. Sarah felt a hand lightly run up from her thigh over buttocks to the edges of her shirt. The hand grazed the sensetive bare skin ununder the hem. Another pleasurable sensation coursed through her.
Karen's look of concernen intensified as her brows began to knit together.
"Sarah! What's wrong?" Through clenched teeth and a fight for control, "Nothing's wrong I just had a nagging itch." An itch? Karen asked herself. Wasnt that a symptom of a drug addict? An angry look converted over the woman's face. " You're doing drugs right now arn't you?" Sarah couldn't belive what she had just heard, "What? No!"
The woman's jaw and eyes were set into a resolve. "Then let me inspect your room!" Fear highlighted Sarah's face. "No! You can't!" "Sarah get out of the way!" Karen began pushing on the door. Sarah began pushing back but did not have a good enough grip and Karen pushed and barged into the young woman's room. Karen began rushing about looking for forbidden substances. Sarah began to stammer to explain why there was a man in her bedroom, "K-Karen, I can..." but no one was there besides Karen and herself. Where did Jareth go? "You can what?" Karen tursely retorted. Hurt and anger reignited in Sarah. "I can't believe you don't trust me!" "You've been acting so strangely lately, that it's the only conclusion that I can come up with." "Well as you can plainly see that I AM NOT ON DRUGS!" Karen stopped her search and marched over to the girl. Pointing her finger, "Don't you raise your voice at me!" Sarah stubbornly glared into her step mother's eyes, "GET OUT!"
"No! You GET OUT!" The woman ground out from between her clenched teeth.
"FINE!" Sarah yelled.
