If You Blink, You Could Miss It
A Doctor Who (Tenth Doctor/River Song/Captain Jack Harkness) Fanfic
Part 1
"Peace at last!" The Doctor exclaimed, running a hand through his thick brunette hair. Tufts of it stuck out in a madcap tableaux as he strutted about the TARDIS. "The whole universe at my fingertips…" He let one palm glide over the TARDIS controls. "And no one to tell me where or when to go. Or what to do." A hearty chuckle escaped his throat, only to be halted by an unexpected burst of white light, shimmering into view out of his peripheral vision.
The Doctor spun around, and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw what had just occurred. Slowly and disbelievingly, he slid his glasses onto his nose, blinked thrice, and stared. There stood River Song, a vision in a form fitting black dress, clutching the wrist of none other than Captain Jack Harkness. A wrist that was, he noted, handcuffed behind Jack's back. Furthermore, a heavy strip of duct tape covered Jack's mouth. But rather than look alarmed or in need of assistance, Jack's eyes were smiling and fashioned into his usual cocky smirk.
"Hello, sweetie." River chimed, letting go of Jack's restrained wrist and prowling over to kiss the Doctor on the cheek. "Oh, pick your jaw up off the ground. Aren't you glad to see me?" She tweaked his nose playfully and smiled.
"Duct tape, River, really?" He gathered himself and blinked once more at River, who rolled her eyes.
"I appear inside your precious TARDIS with your friend Jack visibly taken hostage and your first question is why I used duct tape?" She threw her hands up in the air as the Doctor gaped, moving his mouth with a lack of sound.
"Well I wasn't quite sure where to start, River!" He exclaimed, running one hand over his limp mouth and jaw, which was lightly covered in stubble. Even Time Lords forget to shave.
"For the record, it's steel reinforced duct tape. You know very well that humans have made some very interesting improvements to common household tools in the future, pretty boy."
"Oh, right, silly me." The Doctor glared at her as the sarcasm nearly dripped off his tongue. He heard Jack chuckle under the duct tape and glanced over, only to whip his head back immediately in a furious double-take.
"Is Jack in his knickers, River?" His eyes were wide, but Jack only shrugged, his shoulders shaking with silent laughter.
"Ah, yes. I did forget to explain that. All in good time, my love." River patted Jack on the bum, her black heels clicking on the TARDIS floor. She dug one nail under the duct tape and ripped it off. Even the Doctor winced, but Jack just shook his head viciously, a long strip of skin turning pink in the tape's wake.
"Yikes, River. You sure do know how to make a man beg for mercy." River cheekily smiled and balled up the tape, throwing it at the Doctor, who caught it and quickly threw it out in the TARDIS wastebasket.
"Okay, what exactly is going on here?" The Doctor leaned back on the TARDIS controls and waited. River glanced back at Jack.
"Tell 'em." He encouraged, nearly grinning. "Don't worry," He said in an aside to the Doctor as River smirked. "You're going to really like this one."
"Well, sweetie, your friend Jack and I happened to," She paused and glanced back at Jack again, fluttering her eyelashes. "Have a bit of a kinky encounter, if you will, when we happened to bump into each other in our travels."
"Is it your prerogative to shag your way through the entire cosmos, River?" The Doctor smiled but had a slight edge to his voice. River only smiled back, saccharine.
"Oh, my darling. Every girl's allowed to have a little fun before she, you know," She scanned his body up and down once over. "Settles down." Her voice was deliberately coy, her large eyes gazing up at him through long eyelashes.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Utterly confused, the Doctor scowled. "Keep in mind I still have no idea who you are. Other than River Song, archeologist." He chuckled. To his surprise, River laughed as well.
"My dear, my dear, I keep forgetting! It's much too early for you yet. You're so young! And, might I say, so very dashing." She grabbed his tie and pulled him close, their lips almost touching, their eyes locked. "Ooh, I could feel your hearts speed up, just like that!" She snapped her fingers to illustrate her point, acting like a child completely entertained with a new toy. She released him, and he stumbled backwards. "If you must know, darling, our coming here was really an act of kindness."
"Towards whom, exactly?" The Doctor sputtered. River turned her glowing eyes back to him, lids lowered seductively. Jack smiled and stepped forward slightly.
"Towards you, sweetie." She purred. The Doctor's face flushed pink, and he felt hotter than he ever had before.
"Towards me?" He squawked.
"Oh yeah, big guy. You think we'd leave you out of the fun?" Jack cooed, stepping closer to the Doctor in unison with River. He paused, then sighed and grinned. "I'd run my hand through your hair, but, you know." He cocked his head to the side to indicate towards his handcuffs.
"You see, Jack and I realized that you were travelling all alone now. No companions, no agenda, utterly alone. And you are, of course, the best lay in all of time and space." River sized him up once more, paying special attention to his lower bits. Which, she noticed as she skimmed the front of his trousers with the polished red nails on one hand, were growing noticeably harder. "Ah!" She said breathily. "So you're not completely against the idea."
"With you two?" The Doctor exclaimed warily, putting on hand on his head and running his fingers through his hair in his typical nervous habit. Rather than answer, River cast one amused look towards Jack, then roughly threw her body on the Doctor's. Her full lips collided with his, and she kissed him with such heat that all thoughts were immediately swept from his mind. She lightly ran her tongue over his bottom lip, then simultaneously bit gentle on his lip and moaned into his mouth. It was such a gratifying sensation that the Doctor briefly lost control, groaning heavily in his throat and clutching his own hair, as his fingers were already laced in his locks. Then, River pulled apart, surprisingly rough, and locked eyes with the Doctor once more.
"Yes." She growled, then reached to her right to grab Jack by the waistband of his knickers.
"Ooh!" He exclaimed. "Frisky."
River's head snapped to the right to look lustily at Jack.
"Always, darling." She leaned over to kiss Jack on the lips, then gently let her mouth skim over his jaw line and neck, before kissing his lower neck roughly, biting and sucking while her fingers dragged across the Doctor's firm chest and abs. Her fingers lingered lower before leaving his body completely; the Doctor threw his head back and moaned loudly.
"God, River." He clenched his teeth. He wanted this more than he had realized, more than he would like to, and yet there it was. His arousal was not yet painful, but growing by the second.
"Ah, ah, ah!" River lifted her mouth from Jack's already lightly-bruised neck. "Spoilers."
Jack chuckled at the Doctor as River slid one hand down his knickers, watching the Doctor gaze in desire at River's hand, pumping up and down Jack's member, which stood at attention.
"C'mon, man." Jack managed to say between groans. "Don't get greedy, and don't get nervous, and I promise, you'll get yours." Suddenly, River stopped pumping Jack, and kissed her way up his stomach, chest, and neck. Placing one hand on Jack's trusting face and smiling, she kissed him once more on the lips, a long kiss with eyes open mischievously. Once she pulled away, she flicked the chain on his handcuffs gently, then turned to the Doctor. He grabbed her ferociously around the waist and pulled her close, but she placed one slender finger on his lips to quiet him.
"Shush, none of that yet, my darling." She purred and she slipped one hand between their bodies to cup his erection in her hand. He clenched his teeth. "I want you to watch us first. Let us give you a taste of what we were up to before we decided to grace you with our presence." She gently pried his arms from around her, then kissed him lightly on the lips before pushing him back gently against the TARDIS controls. His back hit the lever for the lights, which dimmed. River smirked. Then, with the agility of a shooting star, River pushed Jack to the ground on his back, his handcuffed wrists behind him. She stood, in her ebony low cut dress and heels, straddling him with her lean legs. She planted one stiletto heel square in the middle of Jack's chest firmly. Shaking out her blonde curls, she turned her head towards the Doctor, who was nearly panting against the TARDIS controls with his tie un-done. River Song cocked her head with near fascination as her sexy smolder locked on the Doctor.
"Let us show you how it's done in the 51st century."
