"Sweet goddesses… you are absolutely incredible," Jack breathed, doing his best to keep from collapsing on top of Ianto.
"More than usual, sir?" Ianto asked after he caught his breath.
"Oh, there is no 'more' than usual with you, Beautiful. You're always the top. Even when you bottom," Jack grinned.
Ianto just gave him a look.
"Rule two?" Jack said, raising a brow.
Ianto rolled his eyes.
"Shoulda made rule two 'no eye-rolling'," Jack muttered. "But, then, I do happen to think it's cute," he whispered.
"You could make it a rule just to see how many times I'd break it, sir. I don't even know I'm doing it most of the time," Ianto admitted. "Can I have these off now, sir? My fingers are starting to tingle a bit."
"Oh! Yeah, sorry," Jack said, hurrying to unclip Ianto's wrists and loosen the cuffs before rubbing Ianto's arms carefully. "Was that bothering you the whole time?"
"No, sir. Just then, really. I'd have said if it was, sir."
"Ok. Now, come here and cuddle me and tell me what that was like for you, Beautiful."
"You give hard orders, sir," Ianto grinned, snuggling up to Jack. "I… well, I enjoyed it. It was different, not being very participatory and all. But you really did make me feel like it was about feeling it, and it was really obvious how much you enjoyed make me feel it… so I didn't feel as though I wasn't giving in return."
Jack smiled and wrapped his around tightly around his lover. "You always give in return. Just being around, Beautiful."
Ianto tucked his head against Jack's shoulder and closed his eyes. "It was fun, and exciting, and it did feel good. Don't know if I want it to be an all-the-time thing, but I liked it, sir," he said softly.
"Good. I'm glad I could do this for you," Jack said, stroking Ianto's back.
"Goodnight, sir," Ianto murmured, already half asleep.
"Goodnight, my Beautiful," Jack whispered. He wondered if he was guilty of breaking rule four by not adding the 'I love you' that he truly felt, but figured that technically they'd agreed the end point for their game would be when Ianto fell asleep after sex.
Besides, if Ianto had really wanted to know, he could have very easily exploited that particular loophole in the rules. If there was one thing Jack Harkness had learned in more than 150 years of living, it was that a broken rule was infinitely preferable to a broken heart….
The end...?
