Chapter 34

Stay

Sarah's POV

(Sorry I am writing a lot from Sarah lately, but the chapters sounded better from her POV.)

Warning: Mature content.

This chapter contains sexual activity in graphic detail.

You have been warned.

The goblins had sensed the changes in the Labyrinth and had flooded out of the oubliette and all around the Labyrinth. Jareth had to go and prepare the goblins and the Labyrinth, and update them on his power stance. When I asked the Labyrinth, it said that, Jareth had told the goblins to stay in the city and that, only Jareth, Gareth, Ruby and myself would be entering the castle, and that we would be able to sneak in better with the goblins distracting the guards in the city. The Labyrinth had been told to summon the creatures within it, including the fireys and my friends Hoggle, Ludo, Sir Diddymous and Ambrocious, to come and fight with them. The Labyrinth was also told to stop any reinforcements that ass hat may call for.

I had decided to go along with Gareth in the new name for... HIM... and to call him ass hat from now on. The Labyrinth had laughed when I told it that.

Ruby had walked over and stood next to me on the cliff edge.

"You're scared." She said blankly.

"No, I'm just..." I didn't know what to say, I couldn't come up with an excuse.

"It's ok Sarah, you can tell, or ask, me anything."

I sighed, defeated. "Yes, of course I'm scared. I didn't even know I had power, now I've somehow got to give it to Jareth and keep him standing through a war?"

She smiled and put her hand on my shoulder reassuringly.

"Ruby?" I had to ask.

"Hmm?"

"What did you mean earlier? When you said Jareth had walked in on you doing... 'Things'..."

She laughed lightly. "Something you should know about me Sarah, I always mean exactly what I say."

"But... I know it's none of my business... But Jareth told me that you hated your magic because it kept you from the one you loved. But, you don't seem like the kind of person that would..."

She looked at me confused for a moment then realised what I was talking about.

"My magic doesn't exactly 'keep' me from them. Because of who I am, I am only allowed to marry one of my own kind. But I was born, not created, the only other like me is my twin brother, but they won't change the laws for me. They may have twisted them if the one I loved had been angelus, but he's not. I am with the one I love Sarah, we have a relationship, and have for going on a thousand years... But I can never marry him." She said, looking down sadly.

Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her into the body behind.

"Doesn't change anything in my opinion."

Ruby laughed lightly and I turned to see the one head lent on her shoulder that I did not expect to see.

"Gareth?"

He smiled at me.

Of course, it all makes sense. The grins Jareth gave them every time they left a room, The empathetic look Jareth gave Gareth whenever Ruby walked into the room, How happy Ruby had been so happy to see Gareth when we appeared back in the castle after 13 weeks. Gareth was the one that Ruby had fallen in love with. The chuckle from Jareth I heard in my head told me I was right.

The pair looked at me cautiously, I hadn't realised that I had been staring at them.

I walked over and hugged them, surprising them both.

"I am so happy you guys have each other. And, no matter what your laws say, after a thousand years, you guys deserve to be together."

They smiled at me.

"Thank you Sarah." Gareth spoke up.

I smiled at them and turned to walk away, but then turned back. "Oh and, when you are in the castle, you need not hide anymore. You can be open about your relationship with us, no-one will say anything, trust me on that."

They smiled and I walked away.

I'm proud of you. Jareth said in my head.

It is only fair, I answered. Can you imagine if we had to hide our feelings because of some law?

"I wouldn't even like to think about it." I turned to see Jareth stood behind me, and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"When are we attacking?" I asked.

"Tomorrow morning, at dawn. We will be staying here for the night." He flicked his wrist and a large, old fashioned tent was staked into the ground beside us.

"I give you magic, and you use it to pitch a tent." I mocked as he pulled back the door to let me in.

I gasped when I walked inside, it wasn't a tent, it was practically a house. There was a large table, next to an equally large kitchen. A sofa was sat in front of a fire place, an actual fire place, and in the corner of the tent, was a large four poster bed that looked exactly like the one from mine and Jareth's room. I had taken to calling it mine and Jareth's room as I only ever slept in the one he had given me twice.

"It is." Jareth said, walking in behind me.

"What?"

"That is the bed from our room."

I looked at him and saw that he was serious and we both burst out laughing.

After we had calmed down, I touched one finger lightly to the collar around Jareth's neck. I really need to start calling it a Rada'han, saying collar makes him sound like a dog.

"It's cold." I said, at least it's not red hot.

"It will be, it only warmed up earlier because it sensed my magic in you, now you have given that back to me it doesn't see you as a threat."

"So it won't burn me again?"

He shook his head.

"Good to know."  I smiled at him. And, going by the grin on his face, he understood.

He pulled me into a kiss. There was no need to ask permission in to my mouth, his tongue was already there, and I returned the gesture, loving the taste of him.

I slid my hands up his shirt, untying one side from his belt. He pulled away, looking me in the eyes, asking that silent question. Was I ready.

I answered by untying the other side of his shirt, and he wasted no more time and went back to kissing me.

Soon, I had his shirt off and discarded over the other side of the room. He took that as an invite and started to untie the lace to my dress. Shoes and other inconveniences had been lost at the door, so I was glad I didn't have to worry about getting those boots of his off.

I traced over the lines in his muscles on his chest with both my hands, from top to bottom, causing him to groan against my mouth.

As Jareth finished, I felt the softness of my dress slide off my body, taking my undergarments with it.

I suddenly lost all of my confidence and was about to cover myself, but Jareth beat me to it, pressing me against his chest. He waved his hand and I suddenly realised, there was no clothing between us. His warm, bare skin, was pressed against mine.

He lead me back towards a wall of the tent, that was made of wood for some reason, and pushes me against it lightly, then lent against me, pushing deeper into the kiss.

I ran my fingers down his spine, to the small of his back, and he lost his hands in my hair.

I lost control of my desires and pushed in to him more. He must have understood me because he smiled against my lips.

He lent his legs against the wall behind me, supporting me, then tucked his hands under my thighs, pulling me on to his hips, and walked over to the bed.

He lowered me on to the bed and laid between my legs.

I ran my hands through his hair as he began to kiss down my neck, over my shoulder and down my chest.

When he reached my lower stomach I gasped and pushed up against him.

He came back up to my face and looked at me, out of breath. I knew what he was asking. I couldn't say anything, I had long since lost the ability to think, so I pulled him into a kiss. And he took that as a yes. I gasped as he thrust in to me and I felt the last bit of innocence I had left leave me.

I thought this was supposed to hurt the first time?

Jareth smiled against my lips, and I understood. He had used magic to remove the pain.

I smiled back and figured if it wasn't going to hurt, then why not. I pushed my hips up against him, pushing him deeper, and caught him by surprise as he groaned. He continued to thrust in and out of me, but his lips never left mine. I didn't take me long to get into rhythm with him, rising and lowering my hips to the same pattern as he did.

As Jareth was going in, I raised my leg and tucked it behind his back and he groaned. At first I wasn't sure why, then I realised, my slight movement had allowed him to go deeper.

I felt my climax approaching and apparently so was his, because he kissed me deeper and more forcefully as I felt him explode inside of me.

When we calmed a little, our lips parted, only slightly. His hot breath against my lips was so inviting.

He went to pull out, but I used my leg behind his back to hold him in place.

"Stay." I begged of him, panting against his lips that were almost touching my own. I didn't want to part just yet.

He leaned back into me, complying with my request.

He kissed me again lightly and rolled us on to our sides, pulling the covers up over us, and we fell asleep, still connected deeply.

Hi guys, 34 chapters, that's a it took. Still, I think I held out a long while. Please don't look at me differently!!! I didn't want it to be a 'they kissed, door closed, wake up next morning' kind of thing. Sorry if I grossed you out.
