Ianto woke up three hours after he had falling asleep, jumping slightly when he realised Jack was awake and watching him, something he could never get used to, the fact that his partner watched him when he was asleep was slightly creepy.

"Morning." Ianto yawned slightly.

"Technically its still the middle of the night," Jack said as he moved a little allowing Ianto to get more comfortable. "You okay?"

"Fine," Ianto lied, every where ached, and he could still feel invisible attackers hurting him making him want to be held tighter by Jack.

"Anything I can do?" Jack asked knowing Ianto was anything but fine.

"Hold me," Ianto whispered, Jack shifted from how he was sitting and pulled Ianto closer to him being careful not to hurt him. Holding him tight he felt Ianto's body relax a little.

"You know if you look past the ghosts, and the fact that you almost died last night, right here right now, this is pretty normal." Jack smiled as he gently rubbed his hand along Ianto's arm.

"None of our life is normal Jack." Ianto pointed out.

"I think we should do more normal stuff." Jack smiled.

"Like what?" Ianto asked his head resting against Jack's chest the constant beat of his lovers heart making him relax.

"Dates, you know dinner and a movie, we've been together six months and have only been on one date."

"Life gets in the way." Ianto said sheepishly.

"Well from now on, I'm not going to let it." Jack said strongly. "I almost lost you, if I would have been a minute later.."

"Jack please stop." Ianto whispered. "You saved me, you always save me."

"But it was so close this time, your heart.."

"Is gone any way." Ianto whispered.

"What?" Jack asked, not to sure if he heard what had been said.

"When Lisa died Jack, my heart was shattered, but then, us happened and my heart didn't have time to heal because you already had it, and I know that it might not be forever, but right now you have my heart." Jack felt silent tears fall from his eyes, and watched Ianto avoid eye contact with him, as though he had regretted what he said.

"I love you," Jack said softly kissing Ianto's forehead.

"I love you too." Ianto smiled leaning up for a light kiss. "Mm.. I guess now I might have to tell my parents I'm gay."

"You mean they don't know?" Jack asked a little startled, he knew their relationship weren't exactly exclusive but he always thought Ianto would have told his parents something as important as that, though come to think of it Ianto never spoke about his family.

"We're not very close." Ianto replied shortly.

"How come?" Jack asked.

"Me and Jamie have different dads, he didn't know his dad he left when mum found out she was pregnant, but then she met my dad and we played happy families for a while. But mum cheated on dad and out came Carys, when dad found out he went mad, he was hurt the woman he loved had stopped loving him. He stayed for a while, tucked me in at night told me I was the only reason he stayed because I was his blood and that was what was important, he didn't look at anyone else as family except me. He started drinking when I was fifteen, on my sixteenth birthday he was completely pissed, beat me up screamed at me saying even I wasn't reason to stay any more, so he left." Ianto felt himself cry at the memory and felt Jack's grip on him tighten.

"That's why you don't celebrate your birthday." Jack said gently.

"He left before we even cut the cake, we never did cut the cake. But every year its just a constant reminder that I'm useless, every one phones, maybe because they feel guilty, dad he stopped drinking he phones on holidays, mainly to make up for everything. I haven't seen my mum in two years, my brother visits some times, but I always tell him I'm busy, my sister phones all the time, but I never answer. Its just a little too late you know?"

"Yeah, but they're your family." Jack said relaxing as he felt Ianto stop crying.

"Yeah but some times friends make a better family." Ianto whispered. "But I'll tell them."

"You sure?" Jack asked.

"I love you, I'm not ashamed of it, even though my family might be."

"No matter what happens, we'll always be together." Jack smiled kissing Ianto passionately.

They had managed to fall asleep again, and Jack woke up when Ianto moved away from him, he missed the heat of the other man's body and watched as Ianto grabbed the laptop from the side and then sat back down.

"Did I wake you?" Ianto asked softly once he realised that Jack was awake.

"No," Jack smiled. "What are you doing?"

"Research." Ianto replied and waited for the computer to load, he looked at Jack and smiled his hair was sticking up and he couldn't help but lean forward and capture Jack's lips in a love filled kiss. "You look so cute."

"I don't do cute." Jack pouted and watched as Ianto went into work mode. Sitting up so he could hey a better look Jack moved closer to Ianto.

A few minutes later, Jack was starting to get bored he knew they were meant to be working any way but it was half six in the morning, and he was alone with his very attractive boyfriend in a hotel room, and all Ianto could think about was work.

"Hey look at this." Ianto said pulling Jack out of his dirty thoughts.

"What is it?" Jack asked moving a little closer the heat of Ianto's body so close to him making it hard to concentrate on anything.

"A newspaper article, look at the picture that's Jasmine and her dad. Her mum owned the hotel in the early 1900's, but in 1927 her mum died of a heart attack. They buried her in the garden area, after she died the hotel was home of several murders, five in total all victims having their hearts cut out in a way that only a doctor could manage. But then everything stopped, the hotel went out of business, then it we brought again two years ago when the murders and disappearances started again."

"So what do you think is going on, none of this is screaming alien." Jack stated.

"Ghosts, I mean the smoke that's definitely weird, poltergeists would be my best guess. I think the dad is trying to find a suitable heart for his wife, you know not accepting that she's gone and his desperation to save her is what's trapping them here."

"So how do we stop it?" Jack asked, never underestimating how smart Ianto was.

"I don't know," Ianto sighed leaning against Jack and putting the laptop down and settling back into the bed with Jack.

"We'll think of something in a slightly more human hour." Jack smiled as he started kissing down Ianto's neck, he couldn't help but smile as he felt Ianto lean into the touch. Ianto turned around so he could get better access to everything Jack. Their lips met in a very heat filled and passionate kiss, as Ianto moved so he was now on top of his lover.

"You know, I don't feel comfortable doing this with Owen in the next room." Ianto whispered as he ground his hips, making sure to rub his growing erection against Jacks who let out a loud moan.

"I don't care, we're doing this." Jack smiled as he turned Ianto so he was now on top.

Jack kissed his way down Ianto's neck, as he started taking of their boxers that they had slept in. He made sure that his hand rubbed against his length, hearing the satisfied moans coming from his younger love as he bucked his hips into Jacks hand.

Ianto stared into Jack's eyes as he lay on top, rubbing their erections together, the friction was enough to make Ianto moan in pleasure, they had never done anything so intimate before. After a while they both needed something more, and Jack leaned over Ianto reaching for his bag that lay forgotten on the floor. Once he had the bag, Jack was kneeling over Ianto's body, smiling to himself Ianto leaned up slightly taking Jack's length in his mouth, moaning in surprise Jack dropped the bag once he had the lube in his hand, he pushed his hands on the wall as Ianto continued to suck him off under him, his fingers fingering at his entrance making Jack moan loudly.

Ianto stopped when he knew Jack was close, he moved his body so he was kneeling to and Jack licked Ianto's lips, the taste of himself had never tasted so sweeter, "I want you to fuck me," Ianto whispered as he bit at Jack's ear. Jack didn't hesitate, once Ianto moved so he was on his hands and knees on the old hotel bed, Jack positioned himself behind him, he squeezed lube on his fingers and started to prepare Ianto who leant into the touch moaning Jack's name softly. Once Jack thought Ianto was ready and he removed his fingers from Ianto making the younger man moan in frustration, but the moans were then filled with pain and pleasure as Jack replaced his fingers with his aching cock and started pushing in and out of Ianto who was moaning loud along with Jack, who was biting and sucking on Ianto's back.

Jack couldn't remember when fucking Ianto had been so much fun, it could have been because Owen was in the next room, probably with a pillow over his head trying to block out the moans that were now becoming louder and louder as they both felt themselves loose control.

"Fuck Jack so fucking close." Ianto said in a ragged breath as he pumped himself to the same rhythm as Jacks desperate thrusts.

Thrusting harder pleadingly Jack bit at Ianto's neck knowing there was going to be very clear marks on his lover, they moaned together, screaming each others name as they came. After collapsing on the bed in a sweaty heap Ianto found himself lying back in Jack's arms.

"That was amazing," Jack said with a loud sigh.

"Mm." Ianto said sleepily. "Love you."

"Love you too." Jack smiled. "You know when this is over I'm going to take you to a nice hotel, you know with big king size beds, rose petals, hot tubs, the works, just you and me."

"I'll believe it when I see it." Ianto smiled.

There was a loud bang at the door and Owen stormed in, Gwen and Toshiko behind.

"What the.." Jack said pulling the blanket over him and a very blushing Ianto.

"You're meant to be resting." Owen snapped. "Any way there's a problem downstairs."

"What kind of a problem?" Jack asked as he and Ianto reached for their boxers.

"The ghost kind, a very pissed of ghost at that."
