Next in the 'Just Like A Man' series - reading Just Like A Man is advised, but necessary.

Feel free to shoot me! I know I've been gone for a while, but seeing as I have this stuff on my computer again, I felt I should share with you all. I'll be posting a chapter a day (this part's only 2 chapters long, but there's three more installments of the series after this!)

I hope you like this :)

Chapter 1

You're cynical and beautiful
You always make a scene

It had been three days since Ianto had turned up in Jack's office for the final time and to Jack's intense pleasure, he'd barely left. Jack wouldn't normally lie in each morning, but with Ianto still sleeping peacefully when he woke, there was something in him that refused to leave the bed.

It was the third time that Jack had done this now, sitting up at the foot of the bed, back propped against the side of the cubby hole it resided in. In sleep, Ianto was stripped bare of all his mysteriousness and his cynicism. There was something which made Jack extremely protective of that side of his lover. He felt privileged to see it so often and didn't like the thought of anyone else intruding on the scene.

He felt himself smile when the form between the covers started to shift and curled up slightly, twisting round so he was watching Jack from the side, one eye cracked open, his forehead fixed in a slight scowl.

"What the hell are you doing over there?" He muttered, his voice husky with sleep. Jack didn't reply. Instead, he moved to lie on his stomach next to the other man, kissing him seductively on the lips before moving his attention to the jaw line and exposed neck.

"This is one hell of a way to start the morning…" Ianto groaned, eyes closing involuntarily as Jack did something particularly delicious to his collar bone. Jack didn't stop what he was doing, however, and continued his antics, making Ianto feel like he was stuck in that phase between sleep and waking, when the world was fully prepared to let you do whatever you wanted.

After several minutes of similar actions form Jack, he moved back up to capture Ianto's lips in another kiss, slower and more deliberate this time. He smiled as he felt Ianto's hands running gently over the bare skin of his back and moaned a little into the kiss. He pressed himself closer to the young man and moved his hand between them, running his fingers gently over Ianto's stomach.

"You really are incorrigible, aren't you?" Ianto murmured, the annoyed tone to his voice only half there, telling Jack he didn't mean a word of it.

"Uh huh…" He said in return, fingers moving down to clasp Ianto and stroke him gently. Ianto's breath hitched and Jack smiled, biting the young man's bottom lip gently.

"What is it," Ianto struggled to ask between kisses, "about you," he gasped as Jack sucked hard on the skin just below his ear, "and mornings?" The pressure in his stomach was building as Jack's hand continued to move languidly over his hard shaft.

Jack raised his head to look at the young man, a mischievous smile on his face which Ianto knew all too well. Before he had a chance to demand an answer, Jack was kissing down his torso, stopping to tease his nipples briefly before finishing the job his hand had been doing.

Another couple of minutes and Ianto was arching his back as a wave of pleasure hit him, paralysing his senses for a few blissful seconds. He remembered where he was and who he was with when he felt lips on his, gently brushing together.

Without a second thought, he wrapped his arms around Jack's neck and pulled him closer, tongues dancing over each other with both passion and affection. After several long, wonderful minutes, Ianto had recovered enough to pull back and smile, the roles discreetly reversed between the lovers.

"Your turn." He whispered in Jack's ear.

You're monochrome delirious
You're nothing that you seem

Thirty minutes later and Ianto was straightening his tie before smoothing it down, the dark grey material the same colour as his three piece suit, but fitting nicely with the light grey shirt he had on underneath. He looked round to see Jack lying face down on his bed again, head to one side so he could watch his lover dress for the day.

"I'm going to go make you some coffee, and I'm not bringing it down here." Ianto spoke softly as he crossed the room, crouching down to kiss Jack gently. He knew he would find the other man in his office by the time the drinks were ready.

He smiled and climbed up the ladder, heading to the coffee machine, as per usual. There was still another half hour before the rest should be in work, so he didn't bother setting up the other three mugs. Sure enough, when he returned to Jack's office with his blue and white stripy mug, Jack was tucking his dress shirt into his trousers and snapping his suspenders onto his shoulders.

As Ianto made to start tidying Jack's desk of old and completed reports, Jack placed his coffee down and rested his hand lightly on the younger man's arm. Ianto looked up to see a warm smile on the captain's lips.

"Let me do that." Jack said with a smile. Ianto watched for a moment, confused, before pulling his hand back from the folder he'd been reaching for and collecting his own mug. As he drank, he decided to start powering up people's computers.

As he was working through Tosh's many monitors, he felt hands pull him away. Looking around, he found Jack holding him away from the station with an amused smile on his face.

"I missed this." He said quietly, the hint of a laugh in his voice.

"What? Providing me with an obstacle course every morning?" Ianto raised an eyebrow in reply, smiling nonetheless. Jack chuckled and shook his head, leaning forwards and gently kissing Ianto, biting lightly on his bottom lip in a way that made the younger man just want to throw him on the floor. "Oh…"

"Great reaction there, Ianto." Jack laughed again, letting him go and heading back into his office. Ianto stood and waited for the feeling to return to his legs before blinking a couple of times and carrying on with Tosh's workstations.

Now that's something Tom couldn't do… Ianto thought with a wry smile, but then again, Jack is in a whole different universe to him.
