The penultimate chapter! I'm actually a little sad!
Day Thirteen.
Ianto woke up and peered carefully through his eyes at Jack.
"I know you're awake." Jack said quietly.
"I am not." Ianto whispered back.
"Yes you are you spoke to me."
"No I didn't you are imagining it." Ianto muttered again.
"I'm not you spoke again."
"I didn't." Ianto muttered. He felt Jack move and his eyes flew open as Jacks hands wrapped around his cock. Jack chuckled.
"You're awake." Jack deadpanned. He slid his hand up slightly and Ianto felt himself harden in Jacks grasp.
"Yes I'm awake." Ianto moaned as Jack moved his hand again. Jack moved forward and kissed Ianto.
"Your not going to argue anymore are you?" Jack asked quietly.
"I don't know about that." Ianto grinned and Jack moved his hand away from Iantos now very prominent erection. Ianto instantly regretted his answer.
"Are you going to keep on disagreeing with me Ianto?" Jack asked again. Ianto closed his eyes exhaling sharply.
"I'm not going to argue." Jacks hand found its way back to Ianto.
"And you're not going to disagree with me?" Jack whispered into Iantos ear. Iantos eyes were still closed.
"I'm not going to disagree." Jacks hand started to move very slowly.
"And you'll do exactly as I say?" Jack asked Iantos eyes opened to look a Jack he smiled slightly thinking it over as Jacks hand kept an agonisingly slow pace.
"I'm going to do exactly as you say."
"Then roll onto your back and close your eyes." Ianto did as he was told and he felt Jack straddle him and run his hands up his sides then down to take hold of his wrists and slowly raise his arms above his head. Jack kissed Ianto and Ianto realised to late it was a distraction as he felt the hand cuffs clasp his wrists and Jack let go of his wrists he opened his eyes. Jack was grinning.
"I can't believe you."
"Did I say you could open your eyes? Or do I have to blind fold you?" Ianto closed his eyes reluctantly. He felt Jack lean in close. "I'm going to blind fold you anyway." Jack whispered.
"No Jack seriously..." Jack silenced Ianto with a heart-stopping kiss and then slipped one of Iantos ties around his eyes. "No seriously. Jack the others."
"Well if you stop making me pause my ministrations, it'll mean the others are less likely to know." Ianto stopped wriggling, wishing he could see.
"Please let me see Jack." He couldn't see Jack smiling but he knew he was.
"Did I say you could talk?" and Ianto knew exactly what game Jack was playing.
"No you didn't, SIR." Jack shivered and started to kiss down Iantos body slowly.
"Just relax." He purred against Iantos skin. Enjoying the way Ianto squirmed as he moved down his body. "You know you're going to enjoy this." Jack kissed the tip of Iantos penis and Ianto gasped. "you know you're going to love every...single...minute." Jack punctuated each word with a kiss back up on Iantos lips. "and I'm going to tell you why you're going to enjoy it." Jack started with a kiss to the soft skin behind Iantos ear and slowly moved down to this neck, biting carefully at the soft flesh. "Your senses are more acute, you can't touch me or see me so your body is much more in tune to my hands...my lips...teeth...I think you understand that." Jack muttered stroking, kissing, and biting Iantos skin. "To start with it's because of fear." He nipped at Iantos nipples. "Then it's in expectation." He ran his tongue carefully over the erect nipples. "Then anticipation." He continued down to Iantos cock blowing lightly on it and watching Ianto shiver. "Then you know you're going to enjoy it because you've enjoyed it before." Jack kissed just above Iantos hipbone, "but this time it's going to be even more intense." And with that he took Ianto in his mouth letting the shocked Welshman buck his hips up with a moan.
Oh God, Ianto thought trying to keep his mouth clamped shut trying to stay as silent as possible. It wasn't working, the warm, soft, moist feeling of Jacks mouth gliding over him. Jack relaxed his throat muscles working with practiced ease to prevent the gag reflex, as he swallowed Ianto starting to suck in earnest. Iantos head kept lolling back then snapping up even though he couldn't see. Jack pulled back and looked up again, knowing Iantos eyes would be clamped tightly shut behind the blind fold. He took Ianto once again using his tongue and throat and just the barest scrape of teeth to get Ianto close, sucking the tip of his cock in his mouth and rolling the tip of his tongue over the slit making Ianto rock his hips. A few more glorious minutes and Ianto was coming into Jacks mouth with a stifled cry. Jack moved back up and kissed Ianto so he could taste himself in Jacks mouth. Jack carefully undid the tie and looked into Iantos eyes before grinning and saying,
"Now that wasn't so bad was it?" Ianto let out a long breath.
"We are doing that again." He sighed. "In a larger room with better sound proofing so I can really get into it." Jack laughed. "are you going to let me go now?" Ianto asked shaking the cuffs. Jack smiled and started to trace slow rings across Iantos chest.
"I'm never going to let you go but I may release you from these cuffs." Ianto sighed.
"Jack please let me go."
"Are you going to jump me?" Ianto pretended to think about it.
"Yes." Ianto said matter-of-factly.
"Oh thank god." Jack muttered as he undid the cuffs.
Owen sat in the living room reading the paper when Jack left the bedroom and went to make coffee for Ianto.
"Right if you two think you were being quite you weren't." Owen said loudly without looking up from his paper.
"I wasn't aiming for quiet." Jack said as he went around the kitchen.
"Yeh well do us a favour and leave off the rampant rabbit sex till your back at Iantos or in a hotel or something...just anywhere away from me!"
"I'll bare that in mind." Jack said picking up the cups of coffee and walking back through to Ianto.
"Here you go. How's the book going?" Jack asked carefully handing Ianto his coffee.
"No too bad I recon I could just get it finished before we get back to Cardiff."
"Glad to hear it." Jack sat back on the bed and looked at Ianto a moment longer just thinking about how this could look in a couple of years, then 5, then 10, then 20 he made himself stop knowing deep down Ianto wouldn't be here in that amount of time he prayed he would be here. He looked back at Ianto and imagined him at 40 book in hand in bed coffee on the side, glasses perched on his nose a few grey hairs the perfect match to him in age and looks. Seeing the look up over the glasses him taking them off and asking him what, before tutting, rolling his eyes and going back to the text on the pages whilst making some sarcastic comment about if he'd seen this coming. Jack started to wonder if he would ever need glasses. Would they still be like this in a week or two? He wished he could stop thinking like this but now he'd started he just couldn't do it.
"JACK." Ianto said loudly jolting him out of his thoughts. "Jack, what were you thinking about you were practically in a coma."
"Sorry zoned out."
"You didn't just zone out you went to a completely different zone in fact I would go as far to say you went to another era or planet even." Jack looked at him and smiled.
"I was just thinking."
"Careful you might hurt yourself." Ianto deadpanned.
"Yes I will be careful." He replied sarcastically.
"So what were you thinking about?" Ianto asked carefully.
"Wondering if I'd ever need glasses." Ianto laughed.
"I wouldn't worry about it Jack I'm sure you'll still look great in glasses and still be totally 100% attractive to everyone you walk past." Jack smiled again.
"I was wondering if you'd ever need glasses." Jack said not really looking at Ianto but staring just to the left of him.
"I probably won't." He said almost sadly. "Never know I might need reading glasses though, my sister needs those already, and my mum needed them." Jack looked at him and smiled before shaking his head.
"I was just thinking about..."
"The future." Jack smiled sadly and nodded.
"Well it's looking pretty good from my angle." Ianto said before returning to his book Jack nodded and stood up before looking back at Ianto before turning and leaving the room saying.
"Yes, it's pretty good."
Gwen had just finished cooking some eggs as Jack came into the living area of the boat.
"Morning Gwen."
"Good morning Jack how are you this morning?" she said slicing up some toast into soldiers. Jack looked at what she was doing.
"Did you just make us dabby eggs and soldiers for breakfast?" he asked incredulously. She looked at him and nodded.
"Yes I did could you please go get your better half out of bed before these eggs go hard please." She asked before handing Tosh and Owen their plates.
"Sure I'll go get him." Jack walked back to Ianto, "Breakfast is ready." He said smiling Ianto nodded and marked his page and got out of bed quickly pulling on a pair of jogging bottoms and a t-shirt. Gwen handed them their breakfast and they went and sat around the table. The all tapped into their eggs.
"I haven't had dabby eggs in ages." Jack muttered.
"You like scrambled." Ianto commented digging into his.
"Yeh but I like dabby I just haven't had them in a while."
"Well I will cook them more often." Ianto said shaking his head at Jacks large grin.
"And you'll cook your lasagne?" Jack looked at Ianto and Ianto smiled.
"You like my lasagne?"
"It's the best." Jack said dunking toast into his egg.
"I can cook it then."
"Great." Ianto continued to eat his breakfast. Tosh smiled absentmindedly as she ate hers and Owen read the paper as he ate. Gwen stared at her eggs and Ianto stole a dab out of Jacks only to be batted playfully by Jack who then quickly stole a kiss. This is what mornings would be like Ianto thought, him and Jack and papers and eggs or pancakes on a late morning when there were no rift alerts.
The day floated by in a haze of warm weather and cooling breezes. Ianto lay his head on Jacks chest.
"We have to drive back to Cardiff tomorrow." Ianto moaned lightly.
"Don't complain means I'm a day closer to carrying you over the threshold to our new home." Ianto laughed.
"You are not carrying me over the threshold."
"Want to bet?" Ianto laughed again.
"No."
"I'm going to carry you in and straight into the bedroom, and then we're going to do it in every room." As Jack whispered his plans to Ianto, he closed his eyes and so did Ianto. Tosh looked at the couple and smiled. She lay back down on the roof and looked up at the white clouds floating by. Gwen was still inside and Owen had taken his place at the helm early that morning and hadn't moved. She was sad the holiday was coming to the end but for Jack and Ianto it was really just the beginning.
"Come on let's get out of here." Owen yelled into the boat. Tosh and Gwen appeared ready to go and Jack came down towards them.
"You guys go, Iantos not feeling so great so I'm going to stay with him. Have fun though." Tosh looked concerned, "it's nothing to worry about just a bit of heat stroke." They all turned and walked away and Jack closed the door and grinned.
"Ianto what do you want for dinner?" he yelled.
"You, get your gorgeous arse down here." Jack chuckled and walked down to Ianto.
"They bought it then."
"Tosh did, Owen didn't and I didn't look at Gwen."
"She's been acting a little funny recently."
"She doesn't like me being with you." Jack lay down on the bed next to Ianto.
"That's her problem now." Ianto said kissing Jack softly.
"You sure you don't want to go out with the others you didn't have to stay in with me." Jack said after Ianto had finished kissing him.
"Yeh I'd rather stay in with you anyway."
"I'll make it up to you and take you out in Cardiff once we get back."
"Yeh there's a new club opening in the centre we could take a look or that new bar in the bay."
"That sounds great." Jack grinned as Ianto kissed his neck.
"Mind you, we are moving in together and we have that dirty weekend you're planning..." Ianto trailed off.
"It's not a dirty weekend; it's a romantic weekend away."
"Jack if having lots of wild, rampant and god damn fantastic sex in a large bed in a hotel counts as romantic then yes, it's a romantic." Jack smiled.
"Hey, I'm going to take you out for dinner and woo you, don't take the piss!" Ianto laughed.
"I think we are way past wooing Jack."
"Well I've got to keep you interested in me." Jack said seriously. Ianto looked at him.
"As if I'm ever going to not be interested are you mad?" Jack shrugged.
"Hey there are plenty of people out there who would quite happily take you from me, how do I know you're not going to run off with Tosh and get married?" Ianto laughed.
"Well for one thing Tosh loves Owen and the second thing is I love you." Ianto laughed again, "Oh you are funny Jack. Let's just agree to agree on one thing?" Jack raised an eyebrow, "We should agree to believe the other is never going to get bored and leave, or ever become uninterested in the other because otherwise we are just going to keep going around in circles!" Jack smiled widely.
"Alright I promise to always remember you love me and you will never leave me." Ianto smiled.
"And I promise to always remember you love me and you will never leave me." Jack kissed him softly.
"You know they sound like wedding vows." Ianto smiled and pulled back.
"I suppose they do." Jack gave a small smile.
"So how about it then?"
"So how about what?" Ianto asked confused.
"How about you marry me?" Jack said softly and he watched Iantos eyes widen.
Owen, Gwen and Tosh were sat outside the pub all of them nursing drinks and looking at the sunset. Tosh broke the silence.
"Ianto not really ill is he." She said with a smile.
"More than likely not." Owen grinned.
"I don't even want to think about what they are up to." Gwen said with a grin.
"Me neither I'm just glad I'm not there to hear it." Owen said stretching slightly.
"They haven't been that bad." Tosh said exasperatedly.
"It's debateable." Owen said darkly.
"So was it Ianto who didn't want to go out or Jack?" Gwen asked.
"No idea, probably both of them." Owen muttered, "Or Jacks got something planned." Tosh looked at him.
"What do you mean?"
"Well you know Jack; he's always got something up his sleeve." Owen answered and Tosh looked at him a sudden swirl of thoughts in her head.
"You what?" Ianto spluttered.
"Oh come on Ianto you know what I said."
"I well...I just never imagined those words coming from your mouth that's all."
"So?"
"Err...I...well." Jacks heart was sinking fast.
"You know what never mind it doesn't matter, should have thought though my timing a little better." He started.
"No Jack, you caught me by surprise that's all." Ianto quickly backtracked. Jack didn't dare say anything."So you have a ring or what?" Ianto asked with a small shy smile.
"I do have one." Jack rolled over and fished his hand into his coat pocket and pulled out a small black box. Ianto looked at it as Jack turned back to him.
"So Ianto Jones, Will you marry me?" Ianto smiled as Jack opened the box to show a band of white gold.
"Yes." Ianto said quietly.
"I'm sorry what was that?" Jack teased and Ianto looked at him.
"Yes." He said much louder and they started to laugh. "My god." Ianto breathed as Jack slid the ring onto his finger. Jack was grinning like a maniac.
"I love you." He said kissing Ianto fiercely.
"I love you too." Ianto smiled and them looked at the ring and smiled.
"I can't wait to turn that's into a gold band and have a matching one." Jack muttered looking at it and Ianto looked up at him.
"Neither can I."
The others arrived back later and went in and went straight to bed, Tosh looked along the corridor to see no light coming out from under the small partition door. Whatever they had been up to they were fast asleep now.
