He reached both hands out then, pulling her to himself, and finally touched his lips to hers, his beautiful Queen.

Sarah felt him against her, hard, and so warm. Her lips dancing against his, her mouth opening for him..his tongue slipping into her mouth, playing against her tongue, then sliding her tongue into his mouth, tasting him..he tasted slightly of mint, and felt..tingly, not just with desire, but something more, his warmth, permeating her body.
Her hands slid up his chest, pushing his white shirt open, feeling his hot skin, smoothness over steel, she moaned into his mouth, and felt her desire making her nipples hard against his chest, her more private parts becoming moist.

She pulled away, suddenly afraid.
"Jareth, I'm scared of what this all means, I've lived for so long, thinking you were just a figment of my imagination. Why couldn't you touch me before, I was thinking, back then, until this very moment, we never touched except in that dream...why?"
Jareth studied her face, her lush swollen lips, her flushed cheeks, her bright eyes. "My sweet girl, you should know, for us to touch is to begin something, once started, can never be broken...and my kind and your kind, that bond, especially, it is very strong. You would eventually go insane, here in the above. Resigned to living a half life, and because I love you, I would wither away, and eventually die, without you near me always, if the bond was too deep, but not fully formed."
"What are you Jareth? If I may ask?" Sarah queried.
Jareth was highly aroused and wanted to grab her and lay her on the bed and take her, be within her..but again, he would put aside his desire for this girl. She needed answers, he understood that. Besides, it would better if they waited, if she decided to come with him, until the were in his world.
"It is hard to answer exactly, we are many things." He answered, sitting on the edge of her bed and gently pulling her with him. Holding her small hands in his, he continued.
"We are called many things in the above. Fae, Angels, Demons, even Vampires, for some of us. Often we were called Gods. But we are none of these things, and all of them at once...suffice to say, we are an immortal race of magical beings who live on a parallel plane of existence to humans. Similar, in our physical forms, but more highly evolved, and much less prolific in breeding. Being immortal, we have much less need, and ability, to procreate. Which is where I come in. The children, they are very precious to us, and it is my task to bring them to our world to become one of us. My kingdom, my Labyrinth is a gateway, if you will, and I am it's Keeper. You should know I take no pleasure it...well not the taking of children part, I admit the game is..enjoyable at times."
He smiled then. "Especially when instead of the usual lots I must deal with, people who abuse and neglect their children, or poor souls who can no longer afford their little ones, or the little ones who are too sick to stay alive here, I find a beautiful, green eyed, woman-child, who defies me and makes me angry at every turn. Yet with every defiant word, makes me fall so very much in love I would move the very stars for her."
Sarah had listened to his every word, more and more in wonder as all of her questions that had surfaced over the years, were answered.
When he paused, she once again asked,"but, why me Jareth? I'm nothing special, not then, not now, I'm just a normal human female, not magic...not much of anything. I just did what I had to do, to save my brother, to bring him home. I know what you say is true, but, I guess it's just hard to accept that you, who could have anyone, would want me."
Jareth's eyes, grew a bit harder and stormy as she talked, a fire growing behind them. "Sarah, you ARE the most unique being I have ever known, girl! Not have magic? You have more magic within you than any immortal in my realm! Although I am one of the strongest, magically, in any world, you felled me with one look, with a few words, with your strong heart and your soul that burns as brightly as any star."
He grabbed her shoulders and yanked her closer. "You command me at your whim, and you say you are not magic? Magic is not simply making crystals, travelling between worlds, creating things out of thin air..magic, real magic, is here." His hand slid down, to cover her heart. "Now Sarah, now, that you have said you love me, I can live within you, and I know. Your magic is the power of love, and faith, and strength, and kindness..now I can feel it, see it. Yes, I could possess anyone for a minute, and hour, a day, to satisfy desire, and I have I will not lie. Don't you see, Sarah mine, that I do not want to possess you? I want to be next to you, within you, and you, within me. My equal."
Sarah did not know what to say, she simply gazed into his face...let it all sink in.
"But you could not tell me before?" She asked.
"The rules, Sarah." Jareth replied, tenderly touching her face. "They do not allow an immortal to declare their love for a mortal, until the mortal realizes her, or his, as the case may be, love first, and says it, out loud. It is our way of protecting ourselves from bonding with one who does not really want it, and saves the mortal from such suffering. The rule is there for good reason, my love. I have seen the result of such things, it is a tragedy I wished to avoid for both of us."
How can I be with you, Jareth, I will die." Sarah wondered, contemplating how this could possibly be.
"Once we are fully bonded, you will become like me, because you will be my Queen and wife, and a Keeper of the Labyrinth as well." He said. "The Labyrinth itself will do this, for you."
Sarah's eyes widened considerably "You want me to marry you?"
Jareth grinned fully at his love, saying then, "of course, only you Sarah, only you have I ever wanted to share my kingdom with, because I know your heart. I know you are the perfect Queen, my most precious girl."
Sarah was blown away. In the course of a few hours, she had went to resigning herself that the one man she ever really wanted was just a fantasy, to having that man before her, telling her he wanted her to not only marry her but become a Queen in another world!
"Jareth, I want to, I mean with all my heart and soul, I know I want to, but what about Toby? I have no one else, I admit, nothing here I really care to stay for, but him. He is my only tether to this life."
Jareth, understood this, he knew how passionately humans loved their kin, unlike most of his own kind. Even marriage was rarely entered into for love..more companionship, and for purposes of procreation. Immortals, among each other, could mate without fully bonding, they could shield themselves, somewhat, from each other. Most of the immortals never spent time with humans, but his connection to the human world gave him a glimpse at real love and passion.
"Once you are a Keeper, you may travel between, and visit your brother, on a limited basis. I warn you, you will always be as you are now, and he will not understand, at some point, why you are not aging, unless you begin to glamour yourself to appear older. It will be hard for you, watching him age, and die. In reality, you will be little more than a ghost to him, an imaginary friend no one else can see, as no one else will know of you here. It must be done, to protect both sides."
"Can he...come to live there? I mean at some point?" Sarah had to ask.
"Yes, as he has been there before he would be accepted. He would not be a Keeper, so he would have to stay there, gradually my world would make him a changeling. Not immortal, somewhere in between, unless he eventually bonded with another there." Jareth answered.
"He may not want to Sarah, his mother is here, his other family, his friends. You must be able to accept this, he, even given that choice may choose to live a mortal life, and with that, you will have to accept his loss long before it happens, because it will hurt."
Sarah though a minute. "I think I can, even though I will miss him, we have been apart mostly for several years, and though I adore him, I can let him go. As long as I know he has a good life, I can let him go." She felt tears slip down her face, she loved Toby, gave up everything for him once, but he has his own life to live now, one she gave back to him after almost losing it, she was pretty sure she didn't want to take it from him. "Maybe someday, I will come to him, and let him know. If he ever needs me, I will be there. I think I have to live my own life now. I want to go Jareth, I want to be there, with you. It's where I belong."
Jareth, stood then, pulling her up with him, glowing with love for this woman. "Then we will go, but first, I want to you look around. I want you to take anything with you that you may want, for once we leave, you will cease to exist here, and all of this will be gone as well."
"Should I pack my clothes?" She asked. "What do I need?"
"All clothes, shoes, necessities, even furniture, can be recreated there..but memories, pictures, those types of things that connect you to anyone and anything, you should take."
Sarah went to her closet, and picked up a bag, wondering what she should put in it. She went to her jewelry box, and took out her mother's locket with the picture of her parents and her, and placed it around her neck, then walked into her small living room, and grabbed her photo album and stuck it in the bag.
The Goblin King followed, silently, letting her do this on her own, knowing she had to say goodbye in her own way. He would create a quick enchantment for protection on the bag and it's contents before they left.
Walking over to her bookshelf, she gently picked up the glass musical jewelry box with the little broach in the shape of a star within it, her father gave her when she turned 16...tears coming to her eyes..she missed him, but he was gone..car accident, 3 years ago now. He always wanted her to find her happiness. Sometimes he had watched his daughter with sad eyes, drifting through life. He would be happy for her now, she thought.
She grabbed the small throw her grandmother had made for her when she was young, and a few more pictures sitting around. Moving to the kitchen, she took a drawing Toby had made for her and sent last year, of all of them together like it used to be, it was really pretty awful, but so sweet, she couldn't bear to take it down off the fridge. She took it down now and gently folded it, sticking it in with the pictures. Looking around her small kitchen, there was nothing in here really, just the basics. She realized how bare her existence here was. Now she knew why. She belonged in another world.
In the bathroom, there again, was little, just her toiletries and the like. She did grab a perfume bottle from Paris that Karen had given her, it was pretty, and although a bit superficial..it summed up their relationship. Looked pretty for others, but rather shallow. Still she did bring Toby into this world and for that Sarah did not want to forget her. She took 2 small towels and wrapped it, and the music box, so they didn't break. Silly perhaps, magic could probably fix anything, but still, just in case.
Making her way back to her bedroom, she knew he was behind her, letting her do what she needed to let go. She went to her vanity, and picked up her other music box(for a while she was obsessed with them), the one her mother gave her when she was 14, the dancing girl. The inspiration for her dream in the Labyrinth. She could not leave this behind.
Turning her head and looking at Jareth, he gave her a knowing smile, understanding the significance.
In the bottom drawer she had a memory box, with little mementos of concerts, plays, her prom corsage now dried, and Merlin's collar...another tear escaped..Merlin, probably the best friend she ever had, also long gone. A wreath of faded flowers, from her playacting in the park. She stuck all of it in her bag. Then she when to her nightstand and pulled the drawer open, removing her journals, her sketchbook, and one last picture from the stand, her mother..who died from cancer when she was 20.
Turning to the bed, she picked up Lancelot, the bear who started this journey. She had given him to Toby, but one night when she was crying into her pillow about some now forgotten boy, he had returned him, stating he was too old for a teddy bear, and she probably needed him more. He was right.
Lastly, she picked up the little red book from the floor.
Looking at Jareth, she mused, "you know I really don't remember how I came to have this."
The Goblin King smirked, saying "Those books have a way of finding who needs them, there aren't many."
"Who wrote it?" Sarah asked him.
"I did." He said, laughing lightly. It makes my job a bit easier if people know I *might* exist, wouldn't you say?"
Sarah asked, "But, what about..what no one knew?"
Jareth got a strange look on his face as he answered her. "I do not know, I didn't not write that, it is only in your book. I guess someone knows something even I do not then." He smiled widely. "Sometimes, my dear, even I am surprised."
Taking one last look around after sticking the bear and book in her bag, she sighed. "I'm certain that is all, the rest of this is just, things...wait what about music?"
"Music, Sarah? Jareth asked "We have music in the underground..any song you can think of can play for you at any time, even aboveground music, because music is a type of magic as well, and universal among all beings. It travels in the air, and anyone can listen..it's all there, all around us."
"Wow!" Sarah said." I never knew...I love music, and never knew that."
"Most don't care enough to know, love." He replied back, "Those that do, do not have the ability to tap into it in such a way." Those that create it, do, of a sort, but not fully. They are after all mortal, mostly."
"Mostly?" Sarah asked, curious at his words.
"The more creative types in your world often have a drop or two of our blood within them, in the distant past there was more contact between us, and of course, children were born of that contact. Those that grew up here remained human, but with added abilities..those bloodlines still exist."
Sarah didn't know what to say to this. "Did you ever..have contact?"
"I say again, I will not lie, I cannot lie, to you. Yes, many many hundreds of years ago, I had..contact with other humans, not in a very long time ago now. The experiences were shallow and unsatisfying, in the end, and caused such pain to the humans."
Jareth said. "I did not love them obviously as I am here, but when you live forever, and are mostly alone, surrounded by beings that are, lacking at times, in conversation and companionship. Things happen, Sarah. We all have moments of weakness. I am not proud of it." He reassured her with his next words. "I am certain I did not leave children behind of my blood, because I watched closely, and made sure I did not leave seed behind. As I got older, I realized my mistakes, and left humans alone in that way."
"You can do that?! I mean control your, um, seed?" She was shocked to hear this.
"Yes, it is an advantage of having such control over one's environment and physical body, to be able to truly make love for pleasure alone, if one chooses.' Jareth answered. "Some were not so careful or simply did not care about the mess the left behind, the humans dying young, longing for something they could not have, the children often orphaned. Occasionally one was lucky enough to be wished away to me, these halflings."
"What will happen once we are...bonded, Jareth? I mean I'm a pretty liberal person, but I don't think I would be happy if I had to share you with others if you get bored of me." Sarah asked him.
Jareth replied back, a softness in his eyes. " Once we are one, my dear, I will want no one else, only you, and I have not wanted another another since you left my kingdom. When I say we will be bonded, it means forever, and to even think of such a thing would almost impossible."
"Will it hurt?" She asked.
Jareth answered quickly, "No, it is an extremely pleasurable experience, so I am told, in more ways than one. It will occur the first time we...are together, fully. It does not occur often. I spoke with the last human to be fully transformed this way, he told me it is incredibly powerful, but not painful. It requires a spell and potent sex magic. I will not let anything harm you."
Sarah blushed at that. True she was no virgin, but this was Jareth, and she felt suddenly very shy, thinking about being with him, touching him, and him touching her and..other things. "oh." she simply said, not knowing what else to say to that.
Outside the world was starting to awaken, dawn beginning. "Sarah, it is time, if you are ready, we must go...I am weaker in the sunlight, in the above."
Sarah turned around and looked, looked out the window...this is it, she thought. I'm leaving this world.
Jareth stepped towards her, and held out his now bare hand. "This direct contact gives me more power to transport us both, as it will begin the process of bonding."
Sarah placed her small hand in his larger, so very warm hand, and he grasped it tightly, and stepped to her and pulled her against himself wrapping his dark cape around them. He did the enchantment to protect her belongings.
"Close your eyes, Sarah, it is easier for you that way." He told her, his cheek laying upon the top of her head.
"Goodbye." Sarah said softly to her world, holding her bag to her chest, and closed her eyes, feeling the earth fall away, and she slipped away into the darkness, her not so imaginary king holding her tightly.
Behind her, something happened. within a matter a few seconds, all things that existed in Sarah's little walk up apartment, shimmered and disappeared, as if they never were. Some things appeared other places, as if they had always belonged to other people, and some things, just never existed.
Dawn broke, and the song of a little bluebird in it's nest, outside a little window where no one lived, rang out to greet the day.
I must admit, the music concept, was something that is a little bit of me. I'm an extreme music lover and audiophile, so I took that little liberty, since Jareth is obviously a lover of music and song, at least to me.
