Sarah's feminine snores were light and breezy as she slept deeply, head resting over his heart. His bare hands played absently with locks of her silky hair. Sometimes, his fingers would trail lightly over her cheeks, lips and nose. He rather enjoyed the twitch her eyes gave when he blew gently over her lashes. But he soon gave up on teasing her in her slumber. She needed rest, and a lot of it. She had been through so much in such a short time.

His anger flared when he thought of it all. She had been physically hurt, almost killed, nearly raped twice, been forced to kill someone, had trusted him then had that completely shattered. She'd forgiven him, gotten ill, and then kidnapped. It was all too much for even Jareth. He had to commend her strength. But then again, Sarah had always been the resilient type. That was certainly to be admired, especially in a young mortal woman.

As she slept, his fingers drifted to her bare legs. The tips of his fingers and the palms of his hands burned with magic as he casted several small protection spells over her. He had been speaking truthfully when he'd said he did not believe Ifreann would bother them again, but he'd already made the mistake of assuming she would be fine for one night. He was not going to lose her again. He was not sure if either of them would be able to handle it.

His tickling fingers left goosebumps on her exposed flesh. He flattened his hand and ran his palm from her ankle, up her calf and around the curve of her knee then up her thigh, warming her skin carefully. She smiled in her sleep and snuggled closer to him. He bent his neck a little so that he could press his lips against her forehead.

She was dusty, covered in a thin layer of dirt from her dangerous trek through No Man's Land. There was sand between her toes, her hair was tangled and in need of a wash. Her skin was faintly sunburnt. Her toes were slightly bruised, probably from stubbing them on rocks, and there were small cuts on the soles of her feet. He was too tired to do anything about this. He would take care of it all tomorrow.

He sighed and shifted slightly so that he was lying on his back more comfortably, and pulled up a blanket from beside him. Sarah stirred as he draped it over the pair of them.

"Jareth?" she mumbled sleepily.

"Yes, precious?" he breathed back.

"Am I dreaming?" she whispered.

"No, love," he smiled.

"Hmm," she murmured. "I thought I was."

She didn't offer an explanation for her words, but he did not need one.

"Do you still sing?"

"Mm," he nodded.

"Will you sing for me? I want to hear your voice."

Of course she did, he thought. She was just as worried about losing him again as he was about her. She drifted back to sleep, as he whispered a song he'd only sung once to her, once upon a time in a crystal ballroom. He simply stared at her as she snoozed once again.

He wrapped his arms back around her and let his own eyes fall closed. Tomorrow was a new day, and he had forever to love Sarah. Assuming, of course, that that was what she wanted.

And forever was not long at all.

Yupp, I could have done a better job of ending that, but what you gonna do? Once again, a MASSIVE thanks for all your support and your reviews! Now I can focus on my other story, Remember.
