Sorry it has taken me a while to update. This chap is dedicated to my good friend Blak Candy for her b-day! (Sorry it took so long) And of course for Beccs (you'll see why lol) Enjoy!

Jack and Gwen returned to their camp late that afternoon. They had come to the conclusion that they would never truly be able to understand one another, but that it wouldn't stop them from trying. They were just too different, but in a sense they were the same. All that mattered was how they made each other feel and their love was worth everything.

As they walked up to their tent, they were shocked to find Ianto, pants pulled down, sitting in the portable cooler.

"Do we want to know?" asked Jack.

"Oh yeah" said Ianto humorously, almost in tears from the literal pain in his arse. "I got bucked, by a bull" Ianto said proudly.

Jack suddenly burst out laughing.

Gwen hit Jack hard on the arm. "How is that funny? That could have been any one of us" she said.

"Yeah but it wasn't" said Jack still smirking widely. "You see Gwen, Ianto has a wish list. You could call it a 'ten things to do before you die' list. And if I can recall correctly, number six was 'face death in the eyes of a bull'" he quoted.

"Actually I believe it was 'get your arse kicked by a bull so that you have an excuse to sit in the cooler'. Thanks for that Jack" said Ianto sarcastically.

"So what...you deliberately walked up to a bull and smacked it?" asked Gwen.

"No" said Ianto sternly. "First I pulled its tail, then I took its picture, then when that didn't work I started dancing around like an idiot" he said seriously. "And believe me it wasn't easy."

"Well, what goes around comes around" said Gwen bitterly.

"Don't worry Gwen, it's all taken care of" said Jack, pointing the video camera at Ianto. "I think your girlfriend should know how you spend your free time don't you?"

Ianto sighed. "What's my punishment then" he asked dejectedly.

Jack looked at Gwen who smiled back.

"Gwen" Jack asked. "How would you like to go swimming?"

"I'd love to Jack but who would watch Ianto?" Gwen played along, although she was slightly confused as to what his intentions were.

"Hmm...you're right. Lucky that I brought along these then isn't it" said Jack, holding up a pair of handcuffs.

Gwen looked at him suspiciously as he cuffed Ianto to the car door.

"No! That's not fair" Ianto whined.

"Jack" said Gwen warningly.

"You're right" said Jack. He walked around to the other side of the SUV and reached in to turn the radio on. As music blasted out he walked back around to Gwen. "Better" he asked.

"Jack we can't just..." Gwen protested, but before she could argue Jack had crashed his lips into hers and was kissing her fervently. As soon as his mouth had released hers, she swayed dizzily in his arms as she tried to find her voice again. "Um...ok" she breathed. It had only caught her 'a little' off guard.

Jack began to lead her away before she could change her mind.

"Where are we going again?" Gwen asked curiously.

"Swimming" Jack answered simply.

"Oh" Gwen groaned.

"Hey, guys?" called Ianto, still sitting in the cooler, pants down and cuffed to the car. "That's really cute and all, but I think I'm stuck. Guys? Any-" Ianto stopped short realising that he didn't want 'anyone' to find him in his current position. "Wankers" he muttered under his breath.

Jack lead Gwen to a secluded area where they were completely enclosed by willows that draped over the waters edge.

"Jack I appreciate all this, really, but I don't want to go back in there" Gwen tried, fear getting the better of her.

"Is that your fear of the water talking, or your fear of me having the upper hand?" Jack inquired.

"A bit of both" Gwen admitted sheepishly.

"It's perfectly safe Gwen. I've been to this spot before. The water's clear, there is nothing but pebbles on the bottom, it's a little above waist deep, and it's quiet and sheltered."

Gwen sighed, giving in as the only excuses left that she could make were well below her usual standards.

Jack moved to stand behind her and gently brushed her hair over one shoulder. He circled his arms around her waist and pressed his lips to the exposed part of her neck. He felt her body tighten beneath his touch and immediately pulled back. "What's wrong?" he asked, concern and worry evident in his voice.

Gwen slowly turned around in his arms so that she was facing him. Her expression was unreadable. "I'm sorry" she said quietly. "I just can't-" she paused, knowing how stupid what she was about to say would sound. "I just can't get use to it." Jack looked confused.

Gwen laughed lightly. "Never mind, it's stupid" she said.

Jack smirked. "So if I were to do this, for example..." he pulled her body fervently to his so that there wasn't an inch of their bodies that weren't touching, including his..."Then that" Jack continued. "Wouldn't make you feel uncomfortable at all, would it?" So he did understand what she meant.

"No" Gwen replied determinedly, her voice only wavering slightly. Jack immediately took that as his challenge to continue.

"Or this.." he leant back down and skillfully used his lips to caress her neck, causing her to moan in pleasure.

"And if I asked you to close your eyes..." there was no point. Her eyes were already closed. "Do you trust me?" he interrupted, whispering seductively in her ear so her only possible reply was "Yes". Then, he turned her around so that he was standing back behind her and began guiding her forwards.

Gwen was suddenly pulled out of her reverie as cold water engulfed her body, and she cursed herself for being so easily influenced. But she had to admit, it wasn't nearly as cold as it had been before. Nevertheless..."So much for trust" she yelled at Jack.

"Hey, it's not my fault you trusted me" he said, amused by her reaction. "Now don't you want to thank me for distracting you?"

Gwen glared at him for a moment, but soon enough she gave in to his infectious grin. She walked up to meet him and rested her hands on his shoulders as he lifted her. She wrapped her legs securely around his waist and leaned down to press her lips softly, teasingly to his. She pulled back and looked into his eyes, getting lost in their colour.

"So...your not mad?" Jack inquired.

"No" Gwen said evenly. Jack looked at her inquisitively. "Because I love you too much" she finished.

Jack smiled and moved one hand from her waist up to her cheek. He kissed her passionately, portraying the strength and power of his feelings for her in that single moment.

Gwen watched him intently as all traces of humour vanished from his features. His expression was serious and intense, like being with her was more than fun but fulfilment. She can see now that she is his purpose for living, and the realisation scared her as she felt just as strongly about him. She pulled her shirt quickly over her head as he held her firmly, desperate to feel his hands on her skin.

Jack set her down for a second while he took off his own shirt, and just as quickly she was back in his arms. Her hands tangled through his hair as she kissed him eagerly. As she pulled back, breathing deeply, he rested his head on her chest and reached around her back as he unhooked her bra. Then his hands were at her sides, his mouth planting open kisses around her breasts, tasting her wet skin.

After a few painful minutes off separation, Gwen was back in his arms. A pile of wet clothes lay at the water's edge. Everything was quiet, peaceful, as they took that final step...and their surroundings faded away, overcome by one entity so powerful...their love.
