Summary: Ianto ponders about his relationship with Jack after Gwen's wedding.
AN: My first Janto ficlet. Unbetaed, so be warned.
I stop in the doorframe of his office. He looks up at me from behind his desk, that heart-melting, trademark smile in the corner of his mouth. Like moth to the flame, I'm drawn to this man; my feet automatically carry me closer to him.
I can't stay away from him. I'm weak. He just whistles, and I jump to fulfill his requests. Like a good dog. Like a willing slave.
Yes, that's what i am, Jack Harkness's willing slave. I do whatever he asks me to - work or leisure time, doesn't matter. And he is aware of that. He knows that I'm always there for him, and I admit that there are times he exploits that. But I don't complain. As long as he wants me. As long as he wants me better than her.
For I'm not blind. I know he wants Gwen. I saw him dancing with her tonight. I noticed the way he was looking at her.
He touches my cheek before brushing his mouth on my lips. I immediately pull him into my embrace, seeking comfort and love. The pleasure sends shiver down my spine as the kiss is getting deeper and deeper. The kiss is hard and fierce as always, but... something's different, I can tell.
He may hide and deny it, but it's her he is longing for. I can feel it in his kiss, his touch.
Damn you, Jack, if my love is not enough for you anymore, tell me! Why do you keep torturing me?
I don't ask him about it though. I can't. I don't want to be the one who breaks up. I need him. I have never needed anyone like this since Lisa. I may not be the only one he fancies, but it's me whom he shares his bed with. And that's what matters now.
I'm not a man to complain. I take what life offers. And Jack is on the list.
