Jack was apprehensive, really apprehensive. He had just shared the most amazing kiss he had ever had in his lifetime, with the most beautiful woman he thinks he has ever met, and that was fantastic, his problem was this, they now had to share a bed, and if he was being honest, he didn't think he would be able to control himself. He loved Zoey with all his heart, and the last thing he wanted to do was make things awkward, which he suspected they were going to be, as they climbed down the steps to his, their, bed, his heart began to beat manically and he was sure he was about to have a heart attack.

Zoey sat cross legged on the bed and bit her lip, nerves getting the better of her, she felt like a hormonal teenager, even though on her planet she sort of was, but that wasn't the point, her self-restraint was now virtually non-existent, and when Jack looked at her like that...

"Zoey, now what do we do?" he asks, sitting opposite her

"Honestly, no idea" she responds, trying to tear her eyes away from him, but she just can't bring herself to do it

Jack sat silently, he didn't want to say anything that was going to make the situation any worse than it already was, if anyone had to say something, it needed to be Zoey, and she had to set the rules here, not him.

"Ok, Jack this thing between us; it's like nothing I have ever known before, and it scares the shit out of me"

"Eww"

"Are you intentionally being obtuse?" Zoey growls in frustration

"Did you just call me fat?" Jack asks mock hurt tingeing his voice

"Jack!"

"Sorry"

"Look, I'm really worried about this, I love you and you know that, I hope, and that kiss just, I mean, wow, and now we have to share a bed and I am so worried that things are gonna get really awkward"

"Hey, I know, I feel exactly the same Zo"

"Really?"

"Of course I do"

"Good"

"So, what are the rules then?"

"Rules?"

"Yeah, of what we can and can't do"

"Oh right, ok, rules, um" Zoey fell silent, her brow furrowing in concentration

Jack smiled at her sympathetically, he knew how hard this was for her, the fact that she loved him and the master, it was a situation he himself was in, he loved Ianto, really he did, but this thing was Zoey, he felt like he was drowning, like this time he had gotten in too deep.

"Right, I got it, this thing between us, it can't get beyond a kiss Jack, and I'm sorry coz Rassilon knows that I want it to, but I just have to wait for him Jack, I know I'll find him again, and when I do I can try and figure out what my hearts are trying to tell me here"

"So we are stuck at kisses then"

"Yeah, I'm sorry"

"Sleep with me"

"Jack I can't"

"Please, just for tonight" Zoey's breath caught in her throat when she saw the sheer love on his face, she never expected anything like that, she felt her head moving up and down in a silent agreement. Jack's face showed that of relief as he moved towards her, pushing a stray hair out of her face, smiling softly as her saw her eyes drift closed, he pressed his lips to hers and she responded immediately, loving the feel of his mouth on hers.

The pair slowly fell backwards onto the bed, silently removing each other's clothes as they were locked in a passionate embrace, Zoey held her breath as Jack placed butterfly kisses down her jaw line and she couldn't help but let out a whimper, Jack immediately stopped and looked at her intently.

"What's wrong? Do you want to stop?"

"No, I just, that, I" she stammered and he smiled as her retraced his steps on her jaw, causing another whimper, Jack ran his hands everywhere over her body, wanting to remember every part of it, every little detail, all the points that made her cry out in pleasure, he grinned each time he found one. His hand moved to her stomach and she stiffened, Jack looked at her quizzically and he too stiffened as he felt the raised patch of skin, forming a long thin line on her abdomen, the scar ran almost the width of her front, and Jack stared at her frozen face.

"What happened?"

"The Time War" she replied casting her eyes away from his

"How?"

"I was at Palamaro, the strongest Gallifreyan outpost, second only to Gallifrey, I was sent to defend it, there was ship there, called the Kretarra it means literally Victory, and it's defences were excellent, and its fire power formidable, but it was nothing compared to the Dalek war machine that attacked us, 2000 ships to 1, we had no chance, it was blown out of orbit instantly, I thought that I had died initially, all I felt was a searing pain in my abdomen, I took a hesitant glance at it saw all the blood and blacked out, I woke to find myself with a dying doctor, a delirious master, and a big red button"

"I'm sorry"

"It's ok"

"Do you wanna..."

"No"

And so he started again, this time Zoey's hands were finding parts of him that made him scream, some he didn't even know he had, her fingers were devilishly quick, pressing gently into one area of sensitive skin before darting to another. Zoey huffed as she realised that the sheen of sweat had returned, she grinned when she saw it had brought a friend for Jack, she groaned when she felt his hardness press against her thigh.

Jack noticed and positioned himself, by her entrance, gazing at her, looking for any shadow of doubt in her eyes, she nodded silently to him and he entered her, eliciting a gasp of pleasure, and a low growl, he noticed that her eyes were squeezed shut, and tears were flowing gently down her face, he kissed them away and pressed a kiss to her lips. As he began to move slowly, he wanted this to be perfect...

TWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTW

Zoey lay exhausted in Jacks arms, she was sore and her limbs protested angrily when she moved them, but she felt as if she had died and gone to heaven, for want of a better way of phrasing it, her breathing once again rhythmic and her hearts beating slowly in her chest, she snuggled further in Jack's side, shivering as he continued to run his fingers up and down the sensitive area on her waist, she sighed in contentment. She felt her hearts swell in her chest as Jack sleepily whispered "I love you", she wanted to have some sense of guilt, but she just didn't, and alarm bells were ringing telling her that it was wrong. She sighed again, knowing that this couldn't happen again, it had been perfect, there was no other way to describe it, but now she had to wait, for the master, wondering exactly what he would think of this, no doubt he would be angry, but it was what she wanted, and there was nothing much that he could do to stop her, there was nothing to say that she couldn't, at least, there wasn't any more, with Gallifrey gone. Her eyes started to droop and she fell into a deep sleep.

TWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTWTW

Waking groggily the next morning, was it morning? Zoey stretched her aching limbs, ignoring the screaming of her body, wanting her to stop moving, but as usual, she ignored it, she needed to stretch to try and ease the aches and pains, bloody Harkness! She looked to her side to see a still sleeping Jack; she buried herself next to him, revelling in the warmth. She felt him shift beside her and she smiled, she saw his eyes trying to prize themselves open, and was met with brilliant, if slightly tired blue eyes.

"Mmph, What time is it?" he asked sleepily yawning

"I don't know, you aren't really a morning person are you?"

Jack shook his head lazily, and Zoey smiled fondly, her insides melting, she watched Jacks muscles roll as he stretched and pushed himself up into the sitting position, wiping the sleep out of his eyes. Zoey hauled herself up so that she was sitting next to him, the duvet wrapped around her body. Jacks arm immediately found its way around her body, pulling her close to him, kissing the top of her head. Zoey sighed contentedly, feeling herself complete.

"I love you" he whispered, almost frightened to say it, he hadn't told her last night, well not in so many words, and he was scared she would hate him

"Love you too" she grinned back and Jacks heart missed a beat, but her knew better than to hope for more of this, like she had said, she needed to find the master, and he didn't want to come between them, even if he already had.

"Well a new day" Jack said as he climbed out of the bed, grabbing some of his discarded clothes from the bedroom floor, he made his way to the shower.

As Jack came down the stairs into the hub he saw Zoey talking to Tosh, with what looked like a sonic screwdriver in her hands, he smiled, trust Zoey to make one of those for Tosh.

The rift alarm blared for a few seconds then stopped, Zoey looked around puzzled, she felt herself fading away, being pulled into the time vortex, she looked around to see the rest of the team fading away as well. She closed her eyes, and relaxed, letting herself be tugged to wherever she was needed.

Gwen awoke coughing and sputtering, she realised that she was lying on some kind of pavement, in the middle of a crowd of people, she stood up quickly, dusting her self off, she looked around, trying to work out where she was, and where the others were. Her face dropped and she felt her breath catch when she finally worked out where she was, she saw all of the banners, draped out of windows, people in uniform.

"Oh shit" she gasped, looking around in panic, she saw Zoey making her way towards her

"Gwen are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine, please don't tell me where I think we are"

"I'm sorry Gwen, but we are, I should know, we are in Nazi Germany in the year 1938"

"Shit"

"My thoughts exactly..."
