A/N: This wasn't intentional, I've been dying to update like mad. I was restriced from FFN since I got my internet provider. I don't know why it's suddenly letting me on now but I'm not complaining! I'm looking through where I'm up to writing wise on here and I'll be putting updates up over the course of the next few weeks. It might be a few days coz I'm helping out with an open day for my LGBT group on Friday and have to help with the planning. But keep watching this space and enjoy this update! As always read and review!

Chapter Twenty

Jack dropped the bags down with a grunt as Ianto brushed past him, staring at his phone, on the way to the kitchen. He heard the click of the kettle being turned on and he shut the door behind him; they'd made good time getting back to Cardiff after leaving London at eight to miss the morning rush.

"My sister wants us over for dinner" Ianto announced loudly from the kitchen, he popped his head around the door as Jack was toeing off his shoes "Today. She said she's got some news"

"You want to go?" inquired Jack as he hung his coat up, he glanced at the bags but decided to leave them there for now

"Not if you're tired, baby, I'll try and get it out of her over the phone"

"No, no. It's okay... I'm not tired. We can go" the American told him

"Alright. I'll let her know" he replied before disappeared back into the kitchen.

Jack wandered into the living room and tumbled onto his couch, sinking back into the soft wide cushions and felt content. A year ago if someone had told him that he'd be living with someone and getting ready to commit to such a big step then he would have laughed in their face; he just couldn't believe how lucky he'd gotten! Ianto loved him, loved him so much that he completely changed his entire life and way of thinking... hell he'd given Jack his virginity!

"You are tired, aren't you?" Jack jumped in surprise. Ianto was standing in the doorway staring at him with a knowing smile on his face

"Nope, I was just thinking" he replied, Ianto smirked and came to sit down next to him

"So I should be running for cover then?"

"Hah hah, funny, no... I was thinking about you and how far you've come. With-with being with me"

"Do you... regret me being with you?"

"No! Never! It's just... is this where you're really meant to be? You were straight, Ianto, and I came along..."

"And made me happy" Ianto finished for him "So what if I was straight? I fell in love with you as soon as I laid eyes on you, yeah it took a while for me to accept everything but believe me when I say this, this is where I'm meant to be"

"I'd never forgive myself if you were missing out on the woman you were-mmmph!" Jack was cut off when Ianto kissed him soundly

"Shut up" ordered Ianto before he deepened the kiss, chasing any and all doubts out of Jack's head. Ianto pulled away and headed back into the hall to grab his coat

"Let's take Maggie" Jack's voice suggested from the other room, Ianto paused and walked back to the living room to see Jack pottering around

"Did you just..."

"Yeah. And?" smirked Jack

"I love you"

"I know" he replied then Ianto was off racing upstairs to get his leathers from the wardrobe.

Ianto watched Jack standing there holding the helmet and couldn't help but curse how good the leather jacket and thick denim jeans looked on him; the sexy bastard "I wonder what it is your sister has to tell us"

"Ten quid she's leaving Johnny"

"Is that an honest bet, or wishful thinking?" inquired Jack, Ianto just looked back trying not to be guilty "No, I reckon she's pregnant. That she's gonna have another one..."

"Really?" Ianto tipped his head back as he thought about it "It'd be so great if that were true..."

"Alright, mister, how much we betting?" Jack teased as he slide up in front of Ianto

"You're procrastinating. You don't want to go on the bike"

"I do" Jack stated emphatically as he literally backpedalled "I do, honest"

"You don't have to if you don't want to" Ianto told him

"But you've been trying to get me on the back for months" Ianto couldn't help but scowl and shook his head

"It's up to you, just because I've been trying to talk you into it doesn't mean that you actually have to"

"I know, I know. Let's just go, your sister is waiting for us"

Ianto shrugged and the pair of them headed out the door, he took the cover off his bike and carefully folded it and left it in the hall then Jack locked up and walked behind Ianto as he wheeled Maggie down the path to the road.

Jack had screamed like a girl for twenty minutes they were on the bike until he went hoarse and had clung to Ianto like he was going to fall off any second. By the time they got to Rhiannon's house Ianto was sure that he'd never be letting Jack on his bike ever again, he cut the engine and reached down to carefully pry his boyfriend's leather clad fingers from their death grip around his waist

"You can let go now" he said over his shoulder before pushing his helmet up so it rested on his forehead. Jack carefully peeled himself off Maggie and shook his legs out

"Sorry" he mumbled but the were distracted by something smashing inside Rhiannon's house followed by shouting and screaming, they both recognised that it was David and Micah screaming. Ianto jumped off the bike, digging quickly in his pocket for his keys to get the door open.

David was cowering against the wall with Micah in his arms, both of them were crying as they watched their tad standing over their mam hitting her repeatedly as she lay against the cupboard in the kitchen

"Hey! Get off her!" screamed Ianto as he raced forward and dragging Johnny back while Jack swept in and knelt down in front of Rhiannon to see if she was okay. Ianto manhandled his brother out of the kitchen and tossed him out the front door shutting it behind him

"Get out of my way you bent bastard!" Johnny snarled as he marched back towards the house

"No. You're not going back in there, you're not going to lay another finger on my sister or the kids!" hissed Ianto harshly pushing him back, Johnny scowled as a crowd was drawn by all the noise

"You don't tell me what to do you fucking queer" snapped Johnny before he took a swing at Ianto, he ducked it easily then socked his brother in law in the face. Johnny floundered under the punch and blood spilt down his upper lip

"Get lost Johnny, go stay in a hotel or something. You're not welcome here"

"I'll be back and then you'll be sorry" he stalked off down the road and Ianto sank into himself relieved that Johnny had had enough sense to go. He waited until Johnny was out of sight before he went back inside, Jack had gotten Rhiannon up and into the living room with some ice in a towel. Her face was swollen and the bruises were coming up, David and Micah were still cowering on the floor crying out of fear.

"Jack, take the kids upstairs" he ordered, Jack nodded and they swapped places. Jack ushered the kids out of the room while Ianto sat down next to his sister who was openly weeping with pain

"Ianto, where's Johnny?" she stuttered out between sobs

"He's gone, don't worry, he won't hurt you anymore. I sent him away"

"What? Why? Why did you do that?" she shouted at him, he leaned back in surprise

"You're kidding me, right? Rhiannon! He was beating you! What if it were one of the kids?"

"No, Johnny wouldn't do that. He wouldn't hurt them"

"Wouldn't he? Just like he'd never hurt you?" he nodded at her cheek "Let me take a look at that"

She carefully moved the makeshift ice pack aside and Ianto winced, her cheek was already colouring a dark purple and yellow and her eye was swelling shut "Where else did he hit you?"

"Just my face, I'm alright" she told him, he offered his sister a small smile

"Okay. You keep the ice on, it'll help with the swelling and I'm going to check on the kids" he stood up, Ianto was at the door when she called his name

"Ianto?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you" he nodded once more before he headed upstairs.

Jack was sitting on David's bed with his boyfriend's niece and nephew telling him stories about when he was little and all the games he used to play when he and Owen were kids; Micah seemed enraptured by the yarns he was spinning but David was still shaky. As soon as he saw Ianto he raced out of his room and into his uncles arms

"Hey, hey it's okay. It's alright" Ianto soothed him by rubbing his back while he cried "He's not coming back and he won't hurt your mam again. I promise"

"Ianto..." began Jack as he thought of what they were going to do, Johnny would be back sooner or later and they couldn't stick around forever "Could they stay with your mam or with us? Just till things get sorted?"

"Would that be okay?"

"You don't have to ask, baby" replied Jack "You know I don't really have much of a family and we've got the guest room and the couch"

"Are we gonna stay with you, Uncle Ianto?" asked Micah

"If your mam says so, if she's okay with it then it might be best. You'll be safer there"

"I'll go ask her, why don't you talk to the kids and maybe help them pack?" Ianto said before he went back downstairs. Jack sat back down and put his arm around Micah while David went over to grab his abandoned backpack, he upturned it so the contents spilt all over the floor

"Will me and David and mam live with you and Uncle Ianto now?" asked Micah

"Don't be stupid Micah, it's just until uncle Ianto makes sure that tad can't come back and hurt mam anymore!"

"But tad only hurt mam coz of..."

"Shut up! Shut up!" David shouted, turning round fast and invading her space

"Hey, hey now. There's no need to be mean to your sister" said Jack but David just scowled back at him. Micah cuddled closer to Jack while David just returned to packing up his bag

Ianto came back up a few minutes later and nodded at Jack; yes, they were all going to stay at their house.

"Are you sure you don't mind? It is your house after all" asked Ianto as they carried suitcases and backpacks out to Rhiannon's car

"My house? Last time I checked, we both lived there" quipped Jack

"You know what I mean" replied Ianto as he rolled his eyes

"I know" Jack nodded "But it's your sister and I owe her. If it weren't for her then we probably wouldn't have gotten back together. I wouldn't have you..."

"Jack" breathed Ianto leaning in to kiss him but stalled and looked away when he saw Micah sitting on the doorstep watching them, he sighed before leaning down to his lover's ear "We have an audience"

"So we do" agreed Jack looking over at the little girl "Continue this?"

"Later, yeah" nodded Ianto and they parted ways to help the Davies's pack up for their stay.

They'd been back home for half an hour and Ianto was downstairs unfolding the couch while Jack was upstairs helping Rhiannon make up the guest room with fresh sheets

"When was Ianto going to tell me that he'd moved in with you?" she asked quietly making Jack pause for a moment

"I don't know, but he was very excited about it. About telling you... I think he would have told you this weekend. He started moving his stuff in before we went down to Twickenham"

"Yeah? You asked him?"

"No" smiled Jack as he thought back to that night "He asked me, he was so cute sitting there all worried about me saying no. But I said yeah, I said yeah and said move in here with me because there's more room"

"You really love him don't you?" she started, it was more rhetorical than a question

"Yeah, I do"

"Then I want you to know that if you ever hurt him in any way, if for any reason he ends up staying on my couch like we're staying with you then I will..." she started crying, wiping furiously at her face

"I promise I'd never hurt him Rhiannon. I love him" he interrupted her

"Is that so" they both turned to see Ianto standing in the doorway, smirking at Jack before he looked at his sister "The fold out is all made up for David to sleep there tonight. Are you and Micah going to be alright in here"

"Yeah, we'll be fine. This place is incredible! Trust you to find the sugar daddy" she joked but Ianto couldn't help but blush "Seriously boys, thanks for this"

"You're family" said Jack with a grin. Rhiannon rolled her eyes and the three of them went downstairs to find David and Micah glued to Jack's flat screen TV

"Uncle Jack has all the channels!" announced Micah "Can we stay here forever?"

"It's just for a couple of days, until me and your tad get things sorted out. So don't get comfy, you'll both be helping around the house for Uncle Jack and Uncle Ianto"

"Yes mam" the two children chorused.

"So where were we?"

"If I remember correctly I was about to kiss you" replied Ianto. The kids were already asleep and Rhiannon had called it a night leaving them alone

"I think, Mr Jones, that we should move this to the bedroom" Jack smirked as he leaned teasingly close

"And what would happen once we get there?" he arched his eyebrows and Jack looked away, shrugging, before looking back at his lover

"Oh I dunno" he mumbled before licking his lips "How bout I fuck you?"

Ianto didn't say anything more just stood up sharply and began unfastening his shirt as he left the room, Jack's grin grew as he chased after his boyfriend.

Jack shut the bedroom door behind himself and turned the lights off so it was just light from the moon spilling in through the window. He took a predatory step towards Ianto before he pounced pulling his lover closer and kissing him desperately

"Jack" Ianto whined, dragging his lover's name out when Jack pulled away

"Patience, baby"

"I don't want patience Jack. I want you" Ianto hissed before biting his lip, his erection was starting to hurt. Ianto slid his shirt off before unfastening his jeans and shoving them down along with his underwear until he was standing there in the pale light

"Beautiful" murmured Jack unable to help himself from reaching out to touch Ianto's chest, his fingerstips splaying through the wiry strands before sliding down slowly to his lover's manhood.

Jack crowded him, skin to fabric and he knew he could never get enough of Ianto; every day, every touch, every kiss just wasn't enough... Jack always wanted more.

"Please" groaned Ianto growing impatient. Jack licked his lips before nodding at the bed as his eyes darkened

"Get on the bed. Lie on your stomach" he ordered and the temperature in the room rose as Ianto quickly hurried to do as he'd been told.

He watched Ianto lying there and took his time undressing, not daring to take his eyes off the muscular back tapering down to pert round cheeks; he's all mine thought Jack before he crawled up the bed over his lover.

Jack lay himself down atop Ianto, easily reaching round to push Ianto's hands out so their could link their fingers "Tell me what you want"

"In me" grunted Ianto, bucking up slightly but not enough to throw Jack off completely "Want you in me"

"Bossy bottom"

"Not really" Ianto replied, Jack could hear the smirk in his tone "Just like you fucking me"

It was Jack's turn to smirk; he knew what Ianto wanted now and that would be the goal once he'd wound Ianto to the very edge of his breaking point. He moved back onto his haunches, straddling Ianto so Jack could start massaging his lover's back "Jaaack" whined Ianto almost in protest

"Shh, Ianto. You'll wake up your sister and the kids. Do you really want Rhiannon coming in here to see you like this? Both of us naked? Me ready to fuck you?"

"God" gasped Ianto closing his eyes tight, the thought of getting caught wasn't helping. It was making things worse because it was so wrong!

"Just relax, be quiet and I'll take care of you" Jack told him and Ianto fell silent save the appreciative moans from the massage.

Jack moved following an invisible path down his lover's back until he was kneeling between Ianto's spread thighs

"Jack" murmured Ianto. Jack smirked evilly before parting those pale robe cheeks and leaned down to kiss the most sensitive place on his partners body "Oh god Jack!"

"You're so noisy" Jack chuckled softly as he rested his chin on the small of Ianto's back "But then again I guess you can't help it"

"Please" Ianto begged groaning breathlessly against the sheets "Stop teasing"

"Alright, cariad. I want you on your knees"

"Jack?" Ianto looked over his shoulder at Jack in surprise. They'd never done it like that before, even when Ianto topped Jack... to Ianto it seemed far too revealling and exposed

"Hands and knees Ianto" repeated the American. Ianto slowly lifted up and braced himself on his hands and knees "Good, I can reach what I want to play with now"

Jack grabbed the lubricant and dribbled some over his fingers, waiting for it to warm up before dropping his hand and sliding his fingers over the tight entrance making Ianto hiss. The welshman spread his thighs further apart hoping for more to erase the burn

"Please" he whimpered wanting to pull away yet lean back into it at the same time. Ianto was addicted to all the things Jack was doing to his body

"Soon, love" whispered Jack "Soon. How much do you want me?"

Jack's fingertips danced over Ianto's prostate making the other man arch desperately, his body curving like a taut bow string. He was starting to slip into a quiet place where nothing existed but the perfect feelings Jack was creating within him.

"Do you even have to ask?" he stuttered between breathes "Want you so bad. Please Jack! I won't last long if you keep doin... ahh that"

He pulled his fingers out and slid more lubricant over his erection before kneeling forward, Ianto was tight around his cock. Jack had to hold his breath as he worked inwards only when he could no further did he let that heavy breath out against his lover's neck making Ianto shiver

"Gonna fuck you"

"No Jack" Ianto cried suddenly, Jack froze and pulled out immediately. Ianto flopped onto his back and sat up "I'm sorry"

"Hey, shh... no it's okay" whispered Jack, afraid that he'd really ruined things

"I wasn't comfortable, I'm sorry... I didn't want you to have sex with me like that" he said before leaning past Jack to switch the light on

"Baby, you don't have to apologise. I shouldn't have... oh god I forced you"

"No you didn't and you stopped when I asked you to. That isn't force... I'm just not ready to be taken like that" Ianto told him before reaching out to brush his hand down Jack's thigh "I'm still hard"

"Ianto, I need you to tell me that it wasn't because I was going to be the one who... y'know" Ianto scowled before he shook his head and dropped his hand

"My fear of being taken from behind has nothing to do with you having sex with me. It's just when I thought about letting you... y'know... I thought about that and it turned me off. Not because it was you doing it but because it's such an aggressive position and I just didn't see you that aggressive and I still don't... I just got scared because... I didn't want to be so submissive" he trailed off as if he'd realised something "Jack I'm sorry"

"You have nothing to apologise for" repeated Jack, before a knowing smirk graced his features "I should have known. It kinda makes sense when you think about it... there's always been women so you're bound to be a top, no wonder you're conflicted about this"

"I do still want you" Ianto stated temporarily ignoring what his lover had just said "I want you to have sex with me but I want to see you"

"Alright then" chuckled Jack "And how do you want me to have sex with you? Like this?"

Jack pulled Ianto close by his hips so the younger man was draped over Jack's lap, erection pressed teasingly between the valley of Ianto's ass. Ianto swallowed hard

"This. This is good" Ianto stuttered as he carefully braced his hands on partner's shoulders

"Good" snapped Jack before kissing Ianto roughly as he gripped his hips tighter and pulled them chest to chest.

Ianto lifted himself up on his knees so he could grasp Jack's erection and slid down on it. He couldn't help but close his eyes as he felt it sliding in inch by inch branding and burning him with it's heat

"I'm not gonna last long, Jack, I'm too close"

"Yeah" mumbled Jack as his hands slid up Ianto's back mapping their way through the thin sheen of sweat that had broken out "You're so tight baby"

"Please" Ianto whimpered before burying his face in the crook of Jack's neck as he came, seconds followed and Jack was crying out in completion.

The pair slumped sweaty and sated down onto the sheets curling up under the blankets to keep in the warmth while they basked in the afterglow

"Are you okay?" Jack inquired once they'd recovered and they were putting on their pyjamas bottoms

"Yeah... Look Jack I'm sorr-"

"Don't!" snapped Jack "Don't you dare apologise. You have nothing to be sorry for! I sometimes forget you know"

Jack pulled back the blanket as he slid back inside and waited for his lover to join him; Ianto pulled on a thin shirt and climbed under

"Forget?"

"That you weren't as aware of your sexuality as I was. That somes things are going to be difficult for you"

"I... I never really thought about it" mumbled Ianto as he let Jack pull him close wrapping those big arms around him "Growing up, I didn't think I was any different because I wasn't a poof"

"Ahem" coughed Jack

"You know what I mean. I wasn't camp... I played rugby and football, it just didn't occur to me that I didn't like girls. So I didn't really see myself as gay until..."

"What? When?" urged Jack tightening his grip for fear that Ianto would tell him that there had been another man who'd shaped Ianto's homosexuality

"You" smirked Ianto sensing the American's jealousy and insecurity for what it was "I remember seeing you walk into that party and thinking you were the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen and God" he paused to laugh "Remember how nervous and shy I was around you? It took all my courage just to kiss you!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I did. I'm not surprised that I'm here though. With Lisa and with Tosh I always knew something wasn't right but I just didn't know what"

"I love you" confessed Jack adamantly which made Ianto chuckle again before he tipped his head back with a jaw-popping yawn "Did I wear you out? Get some sleep baby"

TBC...
