AN: Thanx everyone for the encouragement writing this. I have now completed this story and will be posting a chapter a day until it is completely posted. I will aim to post around 11am GMT each day, but it will depend on what times I am working.

Chapter 10

Gwen groaned as she hung up the phone, the damned girl had spoke to her kitty cat and now the lion appeared to be pining, if it was possible to pine and growl at the same time. The lion backed her towards the stairs, at which point Gwen turned and ran up them as fast as she could, making her way to the Master bedroom and shutting herself in. The box was exactly where she had left it earlier, and now with Rhys out of her way for a while and the fact that she would have no more interruptions she started to rake through the box.

She found what she had been hoping for after a few minutes; Jack had once mentioned some future toys that would make exact replicas of whatever parts the material was applied to. Inside the box where two toys, not much different in length and thickness, she pulled them out. After studying them for a few minutes she chose the one that was slightly thicker, Jack was always talking about how big he was, before trying to fit in her mouth. It wasn't possible for her use the toy in her mouth the way she wanted to, so instead she began to give it short teasing licks before trying again; after all she would need to get used to the toy before being able to take the real thing.

Gwen sat on the floor playing with the toy for a while, fervently wishing that it was the real thing when she felt someone else's presence in the room with her. Looking up she was surprised to see Jack in front of her, his hand closing his vortex manipulator. It was obvious to her that he had teleported to her, he must have been worried about her after Toshiko told him that she was ill. Her thoughts were confirmed in her mind when he yelled out her name to get her attention, the worry in his tone was obvious.

He stalked towards her, his powerful stride hypnotic as he came closer, she could watch him walk all day. Mere seconds after he teleported into the room was standing in front of her, he grabbed the toy out of her hands and placed it gently into the box after giving it a series of what appeared to be random taps. He then closed the box completely before turning to her, his eyes burning through her.

Gwen shivered at the ill-concealed lust in his eyes, lust for her, and smiled up at him with her gap-toothed smile. She was completely unprepared for the tirade that he let loose. Expecting a declaration of love, or at least happiness at her skill with her mouth, the complete and utter fury was startling and very confusing. In his anger his tirade wasn't making much sense and she only caught a few words every now and again, but she had heard the words "nobody...Ianto's...MINE".

Deciding to put a stop to his angry rambling Gwen pouted, looking up at him with the best alluring look that she had, "Jack, I know you enjoyed it. Why are you so upset?"

Jack turned to her, throwing her an incredulous look, how the woman didn't get why he was so angry he didn't understand. "Wouldn't you be upset if you found out that I'd forced myself on Rhys?" He asked, hoping that she would understand the comparison, but not holding out much hope.

Gwen looked up at him, a confused expression plastered across her face. She didn't know why exactly Jack was asking her this, but she thought about the question anyway. "I'd be furious." She replied eventually. She would be furious that he would want Rhys when he could have her, but she realised that the question was completely hypothetical, after all why would Jack of all people want Rhys.

"Exactly." Jack bit out. "Surely you understand now."

At Gwen's blank look he sighed, he opened the cover on his vortex manipulator ready to teleport away before he tried to make Gwen understand by shaking her or something. He picked up the box, determined not to allow Gwen anywhere near it again, then turned to her once more. "You wouldn't want me to force myself on Rhys, why would I want you to force yourself on Ianto, especially when he is not physically there to protect himself." Pressing a few buttons on his vortex manipulator Jack teleported out of his and Ianto's bedroom back to their flat, ignoring the look of shock on Gwen's face, he needed to call Ianto back.

Gwen sat on the bedroom floor a look of stunned rage on her face as she realised that it wasn't Jack that she had been practicing on, but Ianto. It just wasn't fair, the one chance that she had to get a feel of how she and Jack could fit together and she had ended up with Ianto instead. She got up as her stomach growled; she headed off in the direction of the kitchen, hoping that Rhys was back with some food. It occurred to her as she descended the stairs that Jack's anger was probably because she had been intimate with Ianto instead of him, if only he hadn't taken the box with him she could have made him feel better.
