Beyond the Stars Part 1 - Boe 3

by Awatere11

Ianto's family rules the poor planet, Jack's rule the richest. Middle planet of the Harts hates them both. An arranged marriage between the two families is under threat from the Hart family who love anarchy. A silly piece of fluff. Not canon, non compliant. A bodice ripper like a mills and boon set off world. Rated for violence and sex. "Flounce away stage left darlings" 1/3

Chap 4

The voyage would take a week, the first time she would travel off world and the new world she would disembark to would be her new home.

Johnny was overseeing the shuttle's unloading aboard the Royal Space Vessel Myfanwy and as Rhiannon looked around she spied her brother talking animatedly to a crew member.

She was so relieved that he was allowed to come with her, he had been off world loads of times during his tour of service in the military and had been a comfort as he whispered instructions for how to react to space and the conditions of travel while they ascended.

As she neared the two men she overheard the tail end of the conversation and understood that Ianto was questioning the reasoning behind the stacking of crates in the hold. Seeing her approach, Ianto finished the conversation and began to walk to meet her.

"Rhea, you should see the engines on this beast, she's amazing!" Ianto enthused and she smiled at the unusual excitement he showed when in space.

He did warn her that space made him a bit excited and now she saw what he meant. As they followed the ensign to their berth he again told her about the ship, fractions and technical terms falling from his tongue like sweet nothings to his lover.

She suppressed a giggle as she realised that he was in love with the ship.

Entering the private berth she found the rooms to be decadent in their furnishings of oversized furniture in hues of blue and silver. Again, Ianto was in love.

A small note from Prince Jack welcoming them to his "mistress" that had Ianto snorting with humour. Rhiannon shook her head. Men and their weird sense of humour!

When he found his berth with rich burgundy and gold he actually shrieked and threw himself on the bed. Rhiannon laughed as he showed the boy she had once known before that bitch, Lisa Hallett had broken his heart.

Jilting him at the bonding table had broken him in a way she had feared they might never fix. This was the first time she had seen him laugh since that horrible day. She hoped that the worst was over and her secret fear that she may lose him passed as he whooped and leaped again to land with a splat in the pillows.

Although the voyage was only to take four days she knew it would feel like an eternity without a friendly companion and when her parents had agreed to send Ianto she had almost wept with relief.
