Sorry for the long delay here's chapter 3 and 4 is close behind hope you enjoy it.

Alonso woke up to the smells of breakfast, he looked across the room to see all kinds of breakfast foods laid out on the table; everything from scones to sausages. The odors hung thick in the air, his stomach rumbled as he quickly exited the bed grabbed a robe and headed straight for the table. He wasn't sure where the food came from, and really didn't care, he just pulled up a chair and dug in. As he was eating a large sausage he remembered he hadn't come home alone last night. That tall rugged handsome man, what was his name, oh yah he remembered now. Not realizing it he spoke the name aloud, "Jack" , he was very startled when he got a response.

Walking out of the other room, Jack responded. "Yes". He waited as Alonso finished eating the sausage. I see you woke up with a good appetite.

Wiped his face off with the napkin. "Sorry Jack, I had forgotten you were here, and well this breakfast was so inviting I couldn't resist. Will you join me?"

" I thought you'd never ask. " Jack cracks a grin then strides over to the table pulls up a chair and looks over the spread on the table." It all looks good, have your tried the strawberries and cream yet?"

Eating another sausage, but this time carefully cutting it up. " No I must admit I have a weakness for sausages, especially large ones. I have been mainly feasting on them, and the toast. Though now that you mention it the strawberries do look appealing.

"Yes I do seem to remember your fondness for a large sausage last nice." He raises and lowers his eyebrows, they both laugh uproariously, then Jack reaches out for a strawberry finding a red ripened one, he leans in towards Alonso. Then places the tip of the strawberry on Alonso's lips. "Here try one let me know how they are."

Alonso takes a bite of the strawberry, chews is slowly savoring the taste then swallowing it. " Its actually very good, you should try it."

" I will do just that." Jack closed his eyes sucked at the strawberries juices then placed the rest of it in his mouth. He took a deep breath smiled and opened his eyes, " You are right these are good. I wasn't sure what you liked to eat so when I ordered room service I just told them to bring one of everything. " Alonso looked over everything smirked, then spoke," I don't believe they missed a thing, let's eat."

They both filled their plates with food, eating, drinking, and laughing as they enjoyed each others company and their meal together. Once they were feeling quite satiated, they both stood and together entered the bedroom. Without a word they undressed, and got into the bed slid in close to each other warm bodies entwined. Jack ran his fingers through Alonso's hair, and smiled as he gently kissed him. Alonso noticed the sparkle in Jacks clear blue eyes, how inviting and comforting they were, it only made him long for more. And more was exactly what he received.

Times passed quickly they are now laying in bed looking up at the ceiling, exhausted, but the good kind, the kind that made you feel wonderful all over. Jack figured it was as good a time as any to tell Alonso he would be leaving soon, and he was inviting him to go. He certainly couldn't think of a better time than after having mind blowing sex. Jack smiled.

Sounding a bit nervous Jack speaks, " Well that was nice." Alonso nodded his head in agreement thinking that was an understatement. "I want to talk to you Al," Jack sounded very serious so serious it made Alonso cringe a little while he waited for the bad news to drop." I have some things I need to say. I have told you little about me, and what I used to do. I am going to tell you some more things, but not all, then I will need a very important decision from you. Is that alright with you? Alonso not really knowing what else to do nodded his head once more. Jack told the story of Torchwood; about aliens and rifts, about a team of courageous people who helped him protect Cardiff, and sometimes the world. How many had died, and how he had left the survivors behind. His voice softened a bit as he continued to tell his story. " I am tired of running, it's time for me to go back," He couldn't stop the tears, so he just let them come. Once he had finished, he wiped away the last of the tears and waited silently giving Alonso a chance to digest it all.

Alonso rolled over on one side looked at Jack laid his hand on his chest. "That's a tragic and triumphant story. I am glad you shared it with me but why did you choose this time?"

Jack rolled over and looked him in the eyes. " Because I am going back there today, and I want you, I need you to come with me."

Alonso looked into those deep blue spheres, even if he wanted too he didn't think he could resist their pull. All he said was a simple, "yes".

Jack couldn't control himself and jumped up entering into a deep lip lock. When he finally released him his excitement burst. He started talking like an auctioneer, fast and deliberate. " You said yes can't change your mind. We need to get our things together and ready ourselves. Need to shower, probably apart from each other or we will never get out of here. You go first while I make the calculations and adjustments to get us there." He looked down at his wrist and realized his manipulator was missing. He looked back up at Alonso." Did I mention this wasn't your Earth but a time period from the past. if I didn't I am now." He laughed. Jack Looked around the room to spotted the manipulator on the night stand, he walked over to it, and began pushing several of the buttons.

Not really knowing what to do or say Alonso stood and headed for the bathroom. He looked back at Jack and grinned wickedly," Are you sure you won't join me?"

Jack looked up and smiled back raising both his brows. " Oh I would like to join you but I do need to finish this." He looked at him standing in the doorway looking so prime. " Oh to hell with it, wait for me." He set the wrist strap down and walked towards Alonso. As Jack joined him he thought this was all too easy, Alonso excepted so readily without question. he was going to have to ask him about that, but not now much later. Right now he was going to enjoy himself, and his new friend.

After awhile Jack appeared nude in the doorway, towel in hand as he dried his body. He walked towards the night stand once again he retrieved his wrist strap tossed the towel on the bed and pushed several of the buttons, then strapped it on his wrist. He looked around the room located his clothes and dressed. Alonso stepped out of the bathroom towel around his waist. " You are dressed already."

Jack looked at him longingly then snapped out of it. " Yes I need to fetch my duffel so we may go. Are you sure you want to go, you didn't take long to answer me. Jack felt his heart sink a little as he waited for Alonso to answer.

Alonso took a long pause before speaking. " It's really quite simple I figured The Doctor introduced us for a reason, I don't know what the reason is but I do know The Doctor is a very wise man and he wouldn't have done it unless he knew it would be good for us. I trusted him before with my life and I trust him now." He spoke without hesitation," so when do we leave?"

Jack stared mouth open eyes wide he sounded a little confused as he spoke. " As soon as I fetch my duffel we can leave."

" Then get going and hurry back I will start packing and be ready when you return."

"Okay I will be as quick as I can. " Jack put on his coat looked at Alonso a bit confused and slightly dazed as he opened the door and walked out closing it behind him.

Alonso started gathering his things, and spoke to the air. " Doctor I hope you are right about all this. "

Alonso finished packing as he waited for Jack to return. He looked around the room and thought to himself was he doing the right thing, he couldn't go back to his old life not after what had happened. They had offered him a promotion and a new position, but he just didn't feel comfortable with it. People died and he gets promoted it didn't seem right. Just then Jack walked through the door duffel in hand huge smile on his face. Alonso looked at him standing there as his heart lifted he knew then he made the right decision.

"Well what now," Alonso said inquisitively.

" Now I press these two button on the vortex manipulator and off we go." Jack raised his wrist putting fingers in place.

"That simple huh?" Alonso sounded a little nervous.

" If you are having second thoughts now is the time to change your mind." Jack was hoping he wouldn't. " Once I push these buttons there is no going back. I am pretty sure this will be a one way trip with the extra load I am likely to burn this out and I will not have access to the parts needed to restore it. If you have any doubts please tell me now."

Alonso looked at Jack he knew so little about him, but there was something in that face, the way he smiled, the caring he had when he spoke, the confidence he had when he walked not to mention the great body, tight arse and those deep blue eyes, eyes that had seen so many wonderful things yet had also seen horrific tragedies. The blue in those eyes seemed to reach right into Alonso's soul drawing him in, comforting him, warning him, he knew his life was about to change forever. The funny thing was he knew he couldn't stop it.

Alonso spoke softly, " Jack I have no doubts that I am ready for this so take me."

Jacks stiffened body relaxed at Alonso's words his heart warmed as he took Alonso's hand. " Hold on tight this could be a rough ride."

" Rough ?? You didn't say anythi..." Alonso's words were cut off as Jack pressed the buttons. In a flash they were gone.
