The Morning After The Night Before

TWTWTW

Ianto was standing by the coffee machine, fully suited and booted. He was thinking about the night before.

He was in Jack's arms after they had made love. Well, Jack made love to him.

Jack walked up behind him, placing a kiss on the nape of his neck.

"Thank you for last night."

Ianto moved back a little, away from Jacks lips.

"Why Ianto Jones, are you actin' coy with me?"

Ianto blushed. "No, sir."

Jack raised an eyebrow. "Then let me kiss you."

Ianto turned his head in the direction of Toshiko Sato. "Sir, we're being watched and I'm trying to make coffee."

"Oh, coffee." Jack smiled at Tosh. "Tosh isn't talking any notice, see."

Ianto looked again. It was true. Her head was down over her beloved laptop.

"All the same, sir, if you don't mind."

"Okay, my office, now."

"I'll just…."

"That's not a request, it's an order. Now!" Jack didn't raise his voice.

Ianto stopped what he was doing and followed Jack up to his office. Tosh looked up, just as they were going up the stairs. Ianto turned round, but she was looking at her laptop again.

"Close the door."

Ianto did so.

"Now, please, sit."

Ianto sat in the chair opposite Jack.

"Tell me something, Ianto. Do you regret what we did last night?"

"No, sir, it's not that."

"Drop the 'sir'."

"What do you want me to say, Jack?" he sighed. "I don't know what you want me to say." He shook his head, wringing his hands.

Jack got up, rounded the desk and perched on the edge next to Ianto. "What you feel, inside." He touched Ianto's face.

Ianto closed his eyes for a second, enjoying the feel of Jack's fingers against his skin.

"I thought…last night. It's what we both wanted, isn't it? Did I get it wrong? Did you just get caught up in it all?"

Ianto looked directly into Jack's blue eyes. "No, you didn't get it wrong, Jack. It was what I wanted, for a long time." He sighed again. "I am a very private person."

"I know."

"I find it hard to….express my feelings," he smiled. "I am not that experienced, sexually, with men or women."

Jack frowned, but didn't say anything.

"Yes, I've had a few girlfriends and we….dabbled, but I've only ever made love to one woman, Lisa."

"Go on."

"What we have….it's all new to me. I don't know what to say, what to do." He looked away. "I don't want to come on too strong."

Jack smiled at his innocents.

"You are still my boss, after all."

"Yep."

Ianto smiled, shaking his head. "Okay, it was fucking amazing', okay? It hurt like hell, but I enjoyed every bloody minute."

Jack threw his head back, laughing. "Now that's what I wanted to hear."

"I want us to be together, but I don't wanna push you into anything."

"Isn't that my line?"

Ianto frowned.

"I am the pursuer, after all."

"Not any more, Captain." Ianto pulled Jack's head down for a kiss. "I want you, now!"

Jack stood up and walked to the door. Tosh was still looking at her laptop, Gwen and Owen were still out on a routine Blowfish sighting. He looked at the hole in his floor that lead down to his bunker and bed.

"After you, Mr Jones."

Standing up, Ianto took Jack's hand in both of his, kissing it.

"Thank you, Captain."
