Two Months Later…

"I can't believe you're having me do this. This is absolutely belittling and humiliating, Sarah!"

Sarah sat on the edge of a vanity with Jareth in a small dressing room at the local event that her marketing agency was a part of. It was a fair of sorts with live music, over fifty different food tents, wine tasting, art, and fun activities; all the proceeds would be donated to hospitals that aided children with cancer and Sarah had contracted Jareth to help out with some of the activities meant for the children.

"Hey, you agreed to this and you're gonna be great. Think about the children!" Sarah told Jareth. "They love magic and all that fun stuff."

Jareth sighed; children were always his upmost priority and of course he would do this not only to appease his lovely Sarah, but if it made the children smile, then who was he to let them down? He'd have to swallow his pride for one day and just do this. It was the costume Sarah made him wear that just about did it for him…

"I understand it is for the children, but must I wear this ridiculous outfit?" he asked with clenched teeth. "This wasn't part of the agreement."

Sarah tried to hide her smile but failed; she looked Jareth up and down and burst out laughing for the third time at his attire- he had on a long sleeved green shirt with a star design stitched down the middle, blue oversized pants with a star pattern and red suspenders, wore a huge yellow and red bow tie and topped it off with a blue, star themed top hat. He looked like something straight out a Disney kids show. Jareth looked infuriated as Sarah laughed at him and he took off the top hat and threw it across the dressing room, scowling at his beloved.

"I'm sorry, Jareth," Sarah started to say as she wiped a tear away from her face and put her palms on his chest. "It's better than an actual clown costume though; we wouldn't want you scaring the kids. You need to look somewhat dorky as a magician."

"I refuse to go out like this. I don't mind partaking in the magic show, but I am a king, and this is not acceptable," Jareth said as he folded his arms.

"Nope, sorry, pal. It's in the contract, and you'll look even weirder if you go out in your normal apparel," Sarah advised him. "It's just for a few hours, so stop your bitching." Sarah hopped off the vanity and went to pick up the hat Jareth so rudely tossed across the room. Situating it back on his head, Sarah gave him a quick peck. "Thank you for doing this though. It really does mean a lot to me."

Jareth put his hands on Sarah's waist and brought her closer to him. While he absolutely hated the fact he was to go on stage and entertain a bunch of families wearing this tragic get up, he couldn't deny he loved seeing Sarah happy, especially with him. He would have agreed to anything that one night if it meant her forgiving him for his past stupidity. Jareth kissed Sarah's forehead and said, "I sincerely hope I get something extra nice tonight for doing this."

Sarah pushed Jareth away lightly and laughed. "I'll be sure to make tonight worth your while, I promise. Now get your ass out on that stage, you're up in like forty five seconds."

Jareth took a deep breath and took one last glance in the mirror at his preposterous outfit. He huffed and walked out of the dressing room to go perform "magic" for the children. Sarah better give me several blow jobs tonight, Jareth thought to himself and went to do his gig.

Sarah watched Jareth from afar on a picnic bench as he performed his magic show and he was doing an amazing job. He really was good with kids, Sarah told herself. She couldn't help but chuckle and even more, she couldn't believe she had fallen this hard for him in only a couple of months. He was the most stubborn being alive sure, but he had more than made up for his actions back in Tahoe. And watching him now only made her feelings that much stronger. He had been so sweet and this was the cherry on top.

"Hey hot stuff!" came a voice from behind Sarah that interrupted her thoughts. She whipped around and saw her friend Meghan walking over towards her. She was carrying a plate full of food in one hand and held a cup of wine in her other as she joined Sarah on the bench.

"Hey, Meghan," Sarah responded. "Enjoying the festivities?"

"Yeah, dude! This turned out awesome! And how you got your hot boy toy to do that," Meghan said as she pointed to the stage in which Jareth performed on, "astounds me. You better have forgiven him at this point, that poor fool. I'm glad you guys worked everything out."

Sarah laughed and looked back to the stage. "Isn't he so cute? I didn't think he'd actually say yes, but I guess he was desperate for my acceptance. I left out the part about his costume though when I told him and… I'm pretty sure he wanted to kill me earlier."

"I don't blame him," Meghan stated as she laughed. "That's just awful. He must really care about you, you evil woman."

"I'll make it up to him tonight," Sarah teased. "He deserves something for going through with this."

"Well that's nice of you. Treating him like a king and everything," Meghan said.

"Oh Meghan, you have no idea…"

"Did you see how their faces lit up when I juggled the crystals? They looked so mesmerized!" Jareth exclaimed as he opened to the door to Sarah's house.

"Yeah, babe, you did great," Sarah said grinning. She knew Jareth would have a blast up on that stage. He was a big 'ol softie at heart. The event had gone perfect, and the children loved Jareth's show. It had been a truly perfect day. "Are you staying here tonight?" she asked Jareth as she walked to her bedroom to change clothes.

"Would you like me to?" he questioned back and joined her in the bedroom.

"Well, yeah. Obviously. Unless you have stuff going on at the castle or something," Sarah answered.

Jareth plopped down on Sarah's bed and threw his arms behind his head. He watched Sarah as she changed into her pajamas, and couldn't help but feel aroused when he saw her undergarments and the black, lacey bra she wore adorned with black panties. She really was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen and felt incredibly lucky to have her in his life. After all these years, she was finally his. Feeling eyes on her, Sarah turned around to face Jareth, who was grinning like a little boy in a candy shop.

"See something you like?" she asked, and put her hands on her hips, casting a seductive look in her eyes.

Jareth continued to lay there, all calm and collected. "Yes, actually. Would now be a good time to ask for my…special gift that you owe me?" he asked raising his eyebrows up and down playfully.

"You're incorrigible," Sarah said and threw her top from earlier at his face. "Maybe if you play your cards right, you'll get your treat soon."

"But darling, I've been a real friend today," Jareth retorted as he stood up from the bed to engulf Sarah. "We're not being very nice, now are we?" he chided, nibbling her earlobe.

Sarah let out a soft moan, and felt goosebumps appear all over her body. Having her earlobe played with was her weakness, and Jareth knew it. He never played fair. "It isn't very Christian of you to expect me to put out for doing something you agreed to, you know," Sarah pointed out in a playful tone.

"Well, it's a good thing I'm not Christian then," Jareth countered and picked Sarah up only to throw her on the bed, causing Sarah to yelp. Jareth took off his shirt and crawled towards Sarah on the bed, hovering over her slightly. She shimmied her way up along the bed further until her head reached the pillows and Jareth continued to prey on her.

"You're a fiend," Sarah tried saying in a serious voice, but her grin gave herself away.

"And you love it," Jareth reminded her, as he held her wrists above her head and trailed kisses along her neck.

Within mere seconds, both were completely naked and Jareth had pushed into Sarah. He whispered how hot and wet her pussy was, as he kissed her neck, her breasts, all the while thrusting hard and deep. And in the end leaving her just as sated as always.

"I thought I was supposed to give you a treat," Sarah said after Jareth pulled out of her.

"You will," Jareth replied in heavy pants. "I figured if I played my Ace, then you'd be more willing to surprise me later. Have I played my cards right, yet?"

Sarah rolled over to her side, propping herself up on her elbow. She gently brushed Jareth's long blonde hair out of his face, and smiled at him. "Yeah. Yeah I'd say you have," she said. The words had more meaning behind them than he knew.

Four Months Later…

Sarah and Jareth sat in the dim lighting at the bar, talking about their potential prospects. This had been a topic at works for quite some time, and now they felt ready to indulge in the steamy tryst. They had been together for six months now, and Sarah had been wanting to quench her thirst for this ever since their first night together. She needed something hot…something…dirty. Dirtier than the sex she and Jareth partook in, and boy could their sex life get dirty. In the best of ways.

"What about her?" Jareth asked as he nodded his head towards the blonde bombshell at the far end of the bar.

Sarah casually leaned over to get a look. "Hmm, maybe. She seems a bit too timid, but she is really attractive," she said as she sipped her Sex on the Beach.

"You're so damn picky," Jareth sneered. "We'll never find someone at this rate."

Rolling her eyes, Sarah said, "These things take time. Can't put all our eggs into one basket, now can we? It's still early, and when the right person comes…I'll know it."

"Ah yes, how could I forget that you're a professional," Jareth responded. "Also glad to know I'll have a say in who our third person is for the night."

Sarah rested her hand on Jareth's forearm. "I have amazing taste, you'll be happy with my choice."

"How exactly are you going to get her to agree to this?" Jareth wanted to know.

"You'll see," Sarah said winking. "I have my ways. Just…don't do anything creepy or weird, okay?"

Jareth lowered his head and gave Sarah a look that said, Seriously? "Sarah, need I remind you that I was able to seduce you the first time we had relations? I think I'm more than capable to lure a woman into my bed. Give me some credit."

"No no no, Mr. I seduced you," Sarah clarified.

"Pff. That isn't how I recall it," Jareth scoffed and took a sip from his bourbon.

"Fine. How about this?" Sarah started to say. "We both go our separate ways tonight, and the first person who is able to charm a female here tonight and…lure them as you put it, gets to choose who the lucky winner is?"

Jareth narrowed his eyes and liked the sound of this game. "Sounds tantalizing," he said. "But what if I don't wish to partake in such a game?"

"Afraid you'll lose?" Sarah teased.

"Never."

"Then how about it?" Sarah continued to probe. "Why don't you just…drink on it?"

Jareth took his glass of bourbon and clinked his glass with Sarah's. He loved this woman. Life with her would never be boring and he still couldn't believe they had ended up together like this. It took fifteen years to have her beside him, and he would never let her go now. "How you turn my world, you precious thing," he said.

Sarah smiled. "Game on."
