At one hand she was happy, on the other, she was confused and scared. 

Confused that he kissed her, why? Scared that it was all just an attraction and nothing more. Happy that she got a kiss from him.

By now she had totally stopped crying. He pulled her in for an embrace and whispered, "I'm sorry."

"Why? What are you sorry for?"

Her heartbeat increased as it raced in her chest. Why was he sorry? Did he hate what just happened? 

"For taking advantage of you!"

"You didn't take advantage of me, Jareth. If there is anything, I should be thanking you for making me feel better."

"It's okay," he replied. 

All he wanted was to make her not feel alone, she had him with her, by her side. He sniffed in her hair, he loved her normal scent.It always see pkmed to calm his heart and mind. 

She pulled away from his embrace a bit, so there was little s.p.a.ce between them and said, "On the other hand, I ended up causing trouble for you."

"Trouble? How do you mean?"

She felt so shy and embarra.s.sed as she pointed at his member and closed her eyes while doing so. 

Due to their closeness, he couldn't quite guess what she pointed at. This was because she closed her eyes and didn't know she pointed at his stomach. 

"Huh! Astrid! Where? Nothing is wrong with my stomach. Why are your eyes closed? Just open them."

He could quite guess what she was talking about, but he loved to see her shy side and feigned ignorance. 

"I mean here," she said as she opened her eyes. She only wanted to point but ended up touching him lightly through his trousers. 

At the contact between her small hand and his erected member, Jareth felt small sparks of electric shock flow down his spine to his member and it twitched. 

He gritted his teeth and fell forward a bit. His weight pressing her to the tree behind, as his head settled at the nape of her neck. 

What did she just do to him? The almighty cold, grumpy, hard, thick head Jareth, suddenly became weak from a woman's touch. 

"How could one touch from her, make me this way? Why does this little girl affect me so much?" He mentally asked himself. 

As she felt it move from her touch, she quickly pulled her hands back and clutched it close to her chest. 

She bit down on her lower lip nervously again and gulped at the bulge in his pants. Just then he turned his head to the side and from the corner of her eyes, he could see her biting down. Jareth was in for some crazy s.h.i.+t. 

"Oh Astrid, stop doing that with your lips, please." He let out a soft moan as he fought back the desire to claim her lips into a pa.s.sionate frenzy kiss again. 

She quickly let go of her lips and apologized. "I'm sorry."

"Silly girl. Would an apology fix this?"

"Then what can? What should I do?"

"When you ask that way... Nope, there is nothing you can do. No need to be sorry. I am a man after all."

"What does he mean by that? Ohh!! Men have needs and unlike ours, theirs seems to be more painful to control," she thought. 

Even though she had little to no contact with the villagers, she still read books, so she was vast in some of these matters, or so she thought. 

Rather than kiss her on the lips, he nibbled, sucked and kissed at her nape, earning a soft moan from her in return. 

Astrid widened her eyes when she noticed what just happened. 

She felt so good with what he did and didn't know when she let out a small moan. It was s.e.xy and music to Jareth's ears. 

Meaning, that was an errogenous zone, he couldn't forget. Astrid on the other hand, quickly covered her mouth with one of her hands, as she suppressed the desire to moan further. 

"Why did I just make such weird sounds. He must think I am not fine or that something was wrong. What do I do?" She thought. 

"For some unknown reason, I find it hard to stop. I want to keep teasing her. Her moans are pleasant to my ears. I really need to stop," he thought. 

He finally pulled back and smiled at the small mark he created on her neck. She looked down in embarra.s.sment, his heated gaze was enough for her to wish the ground would open up and swallow her. 

He stepped aside as he chuckled lightly. 

"Why are you laughing? What's so funny?"

"You are. Look at your face. You are all red."

"You caused it. If it weren't for you... Whatever."

"If it weren't for me what? You gave me permission."

Was he blaming her? 

How could he be so shameles? Who knew he had this side to him. He was cute when he was carefree. 

"Yes, to k–kiss me," she said very low, almost in a whisper. "But not to do the other."

"You touched me."

"It was a mistake."

"I've heard." 

He couldn't help the smile form on his lips when he looked at her. 

"Jareth!"

"Yes?"

"Do you... Don't bother. Let's head back."

He found it strange. He knew she wanted to ask him about something but stopped all of a sudden. 

He wanted to push it further, but decided to let go. She was already overwhelmed with whatever it was that made her cry and their kiss. 

Speaking of which, he was never supposed to act on his feelings. Wait... Feelings? He didn't want to lead her on as there was no future for them. 

Still, he couldn't deny the attraction he had for her. There and then, he decided he was going to kill it. It was what was best for both of them, her especially. 

She might hate him because of this, but... It's what's vest for both of them. 

"Astrid!"

She stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him. "Yes?"

He sighed, not knowing how to start. 

"What is wrong?" She asked, him with care laced in her voice. 

"I–I... Where do I start from?"

She could sense his uneasiness and her fear returned. "He is going to apologize for letting things get out of hand. I can't let him feel guilty about this. I know we can't be, but I don't want him ruining this memory," she thought. 

"Astrid, I... "

"Stop!"
