The sex had been more than fulfilling, with needy hands and rough teeth.
Ianto had held Jack all night, sliding out at dawn to return to the cell and Jack made a mental note to ask how.
The alarms announced Owen's early arrival and Jack couldn't help but show his surprise as Owen headed straight for him.
"How is your head this morning?" Owen started straight in.
"Fine, thank you" Jack smiled reassuringly.
"Good, I'm just gonna check the t-boy, have you heard from him yet?" Owen asked as he reached for his medical kit on his workstation.
"No, I think he's still sleeping, the poor bugger" Jack sighed.
Owen nodded and headed down to the cells as the alarms sounded again.
Toshiko, as prompt as always, slid in and looked around expectantly.
"Still asleep, Owen went to check on him" Jack smiled and she nodded, moving to her workstation and keying up the CCTV of the cells.
Ianto was crying as Owen comforted him, gently patting his back as he offered him a water bottle.
"Oh Owen!" the Welsh vowels came through the tinny speakers, "I'm such a fool!"
"Don't be silly. We are just all so sorry we couldn't do anything. A real fighter, right to the end. She must have been an amazing woman" Owen crooned and Ianto nodded and looked at Owen hopefully. "Maybe just one more day."
"She didn't suffer, did she?" he whimpered, "I can't … I don't seem to remember … I …"
"Selective amnesia. Not uncommon after such a horrible shock" Owen soothed, "Finding her passed on like that when you were so close. That little Asian fucker did have a bug up his butt when we met him at the airport and turned him around but we weren't going to let him touch her. Not now."
Ianto broke down, leaning against Owen and Tosh made a small noise of sympathy.
Gwen stormed in and slammed down her handbag, then looked over at the screen.
Ianto was really sobbing now, Owen crooning as he rocked him and Jack sighed, walking down to join the game.
"Hey" he said as he entered the cell and Ianto looked up with horror.
"Oh sir, please, don't look at me!" Ianto wailed, "I'm so disgusting. Please, I've let you down, let everyone down. Oh god, I let her down … I am a failure."
Jack sat and pulled Ianto from Owen's arms and into his own, crooning as he engulfed Ianto.
He felt the soft sigh as Ianto nuzzled into his neck and repressed a grin.
Little bugger was enjoying this!
"Owen, Gwen's here. How about you get everyone together in the meeting room and we'll have our morning meeting as soon as Ianto here is ready" Jack said softly with a meaningful look.
"Yeah, yeah. Right" Owen pulled his pants up higher and nodded.
As Owen left Jack felt the faint kiss on his neck and turned his head to block the camera as Ianto licked his neck and hummed.
"Stop it, you minx" Jack hissed and Ianto snorted.
Jack was enjoying this too.
