A/N: For the prompt 'Blurred Lines', one of the prompts I didn't get around to using for tw100's challenge 292: Billboard Hot 100 last year. I've dug them out again to supplement the prompts I got from my f-list, just because there are still loads I wanted to use.

sandysan2013: Owen is as damaged as Ianto and Tosh in his own way, but it's made him cynical and unwilling to open his heart up to being broken again. He's not a nice person to others, he wants everyone to keep their distance so he acts nasty. I feel sorry for him.
Thank you!

Sleeping with Jack started out as a means to an end, a way to keep the man distracted; it kept Jack's attention away from things Ianto didn't want discovered.
He knew Lisa's life was at stake, had no illusions about what Jack would do if he found her, so he used whatever means necessary to protect her.
But somewhere along the way, the lines had blurred. He found himself craving the intimacy, the touch of another person, all the things Lisa couldn't provide in her condition.
The guilt was killing him. He loved two people, but was betraying them both.
