Untouchable Thoughts III

Untouchable Thoughts III

Jack's (pleasing) thoughts were broken into when somebody entered the hub. A voice echoed through, "Sorry, it's only me – I forgot my keys and I don't want to disturb Rhys more than I hav-"

Jack almost ran towards her, making her rethink.

"Jack? Are you oka-"

But she never got to complete her sentence, as her boss, Captain Jack Harkness, put his hands on her, one on her left hip, the other on her right cheek, and kissed her. It was a lingering kiss as he held back. This was wrong, and he knew it, but it was too enjoyable for him to force himself to stop. Gwen started to melt into the embrace and respond, but then pulled away, shocked. She took a step back and slapped him.

Jack reeled I surprise, clutching his cheek in shock; staring at Gwen with a horrified look on his face.

"What did you do that for?"

"Why do you think I just bloody well did that?"

"I don't know – would I ask if I knew?"

"Well, let me see, I come in to collect my keys so I don't disturb my husband too much when I go home after a couple of drinks with my friends, and my boss suddenly decides to launch himself at me and kiss me."

"Right? Your point is…?"

"I'm married, you're my boss, you kissed me, and you're gay."

"What gave you that impression?"

"You and Ianto in the office."

"Oh, yeah… Well what did you expect me to do?"

"Er…hmm…let me think… Let me collect my keys and go home without being kissed?"

"It isn't my fault – you shouldn't wear such tight clothes – too tempting you see."

"Yes, of course. It's my fault that you kissed me. I mean, that's what everybody's boss does rather than tell them that their clothes aren't appropriate."

"Can we just stop this conversation here? I'm sorry, but it all boils down to being your fault. I'll let you off this once though."

"What!? Fuck, men are really intolerable sometimes." Gwen grabbed her keys and ran out, throwing backward glances at Jack; worried he would be following her.

Jack sunk to the floor and shot himself as many times as he could until he died, repeating this about 5 times. He wished he really could die – Gwen was going to hate him and avoid him, making it even harder for him to tell her the truth. That he loved her.
