Jareth (The Goblin King) x reader

A rainy night

The night was rainy and cold. But, the castle was bright and warm and filled with life.

We were in the throne room. I was lazily sitting on my husband's throne. I was slightly tired from the day's activities. My legs dangled off of the arms of the throne while I watched as Jareth sang and danced with the goblins. I wasn't much of a singer or dancer, but never the less, Jareth has never stopped trying to get me to dance with him. This night was no less.

As Jareth sang his sweet melodies, he traveled over to the throne and extended his hand with a mischievous smile. "A dance my lady?"

I rolled my eyes but smiled as I took his hand. I stood up and he led me to the middle of the throne room. He sang a slower paced song. It wasn't one that would make you want to jump around and twirl, but one that had me leaning into him. I felt his hands wrap around my waist and my arms wrapped around his neck.

As he sang, I looked into his beautiful, strange eyes. The goblins were no longer throwing each other around or scream-singing. They sort of stood there, listening to Jareth's voice. His voice was smooth and warm. Like a rich cup of coffee on a cold winter's night.

We gently swayed from side to side as the rain pounded against the castle roof as if it is like a percussion ensemble to accompany Jareth's voice. 

When he finished his song, the goblins burst into cheers and applause. He smiled at me and I smiled back. He lifted his hand up to my cheek. He pushed back some baby hairs. I could tell he was admiring me, as he often does. As much he could claim how mighty he is, I knew that he was a softie.

"I love you." I say softly.

"I love you too." He said and he leaned in. He kissed me so sweetly, yet so passionately.

As we pulled away I said, "Well, as much fun I am having, I am a bit tired. I'd best be going to bed."

"Let me join you. I think that we need some...quality time alone, together, hm?" Jareth replied, a mischievous glint in his eyes appearing.

I quietly laughed and nodded.

"Alight. I will meet you at our room."

I smiled and walked out of the thrown room, hearing Jareth order the goblins to clean the mess up and to return to their homes.

I went to our room with our bathroom attached. I took a quick shower. As I stepped out I heard Jareth close the door. I wrapped a towel around my body and I stepped out into the bedroom. Jareth smirked and I felt his eyes trailing down my body.

I felt my face heat up and I turned towards the wardrobe. I pulled out a silky, royal blue night gown that hit about mid thigh. I could feel Jareth's eyes stare at me as I changed.

When I turned around, I saw him leaning on the bed's pole with the same smirk plastered on his face. "Well, don't you look absolutely beautiful this evening?"

I put on the same mischievous smile and put my hands on his chest. "We should get to bed, my dear."

"Yes, I suppose we should." Jareth said as he lifted my up, carrying me like we were newly weds. I laughed he dropped me on the bed and wrapped me in the warm comforter and he did the same for himself. We faced each other and smiled.

Jareth kissed me again. It was deep and more passionate than the one in the throne room. As I tried to pull away from a short breath, he only leaned in more, deepening the kiss. When I could finally breath again, he kissed down my jawline and then pulled away.

He looked into my eyes and asked, "What did I ever do to deserve someone as amazing and beautiful as you are?"

I softly smiled, "I don't know. But, whatever you are doing, you are doing it well."
