He's driving me crazy.

Okay, I admit it, I deserve everything he's doing to me and worse.  After the way I treated him I'm lucky he's taking me back at all.  I have no right to complain about how slow he's going or about him making me wait.

Wait while he marks me as his with public words instead of unseen bites and scratches.

Wait while he establishes his rights.

His right to set the boundaries.  His right to tell me what to do when it isn't a command decision.  His right to take me down a peg when he thinks I need it.  His right to yell at me when I get myself killed again.

His right to tell Gwen I'm an insensitive boob in bed?

Okay, I totally didn't see that one coming.  I'm not sure I like it.  I mean, I'm used to lovers who blab everything, but I don't know if I want us to be that way.  We're forging something different here.  That's going to be on the list of my boundaries.

When I earn back the right to set boundaries.

If it was up to me we'd skip straight to his right to nail me through the mattress, but he's setting the pace.  We haven't even kissed yet.  It's maddening.

Not that there haven't been touches.  Lingering brushes from his fingers when he gives he things, full-body rubs when he passes me too closely in the hallway, hands ghosting over my ass when no one is around.  All the things I used to do to him.  I lean in to them but he glares me back into my place.  I want to tear that bright red shirt off him and throw him over my desk, but that would be an "insensitive boob" thing to do.

I try fluttering my lashes at him and suggest that we could have a lot of fun exploring his sadistic tendencies in bed.  He smirks, and I can tell he's having a lot of fun now.

I want him so badly.  And that new confidence and sense of humor he's found?  I can come just from thinking about what that's going to be like in the bedroom!

Thank God he hasn't told me I can't wank off.  Not that it does any good.  Neither would going out to a club and picking up a one-night stand.  Besides being an "insensitive boob" thing to do, I'm tired of one-night stands.  I want someone who cares enough to yell at me when I get myself killed again.

Besides, when I look deep into his eyes, past the public mask, I can see the frustration that matches mine.   He's not going to make me wait much longer.

Is he?

 
Part 2:  Maybe

Awwww bless Jack. And who doesn't want to tare that shirt off him and throw him over the desk?! I don't care if it would be an 'insensitive boob' thing to do! Hehe! Great words!

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

I'd pity Jack if he didn't have it coming. :D

[fatchickengirl.livejournal.com]

Yet another virtue jack has missed out on...
Lovely!

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

Leave it to Ianto to not only wear a red shirt, but look positively gorgeous in it, and break the tradition of it being a mark for episode death :D

Lovely piece, poor Jack though! Really liked how you had Ianto being both the extreme tease that Jack himself once was and playing hard to get at the same time~

"What goes around comes around -- with interest!" ;)

[kerryblaze.livejournal.com]

Poor Jack. I almost feel sorry for him... but it's much more fun to think of Ianto teasing him!

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Yep! XD

[nightporters.livejournal.com]

Love it. Well done Ianto for making Jack wait. I love the confidence, then the uncertainty at the end.

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Only way to end it, really. ;)

[darketernal09.livejournal.com]

very nice. Jack defintily deserves this, and I like watching him squirm. great job!

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[flora2313.livejournal.com]

*happy sigh*

Wonderful, poor Jack!

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Wonderful, poor Jack!

Yes, picking on Jack is wonderful. :D

[theohsocurlyone.livejournal.com]

Ooo, just love sneaky!Ianto. And Jack's frustration is so sweet because he knows that Ianto is worth waiting for...good work!

Also, you might want to fix this sentence: Okay, i totally didn't see that one coming. Sorry to be a pain.

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Ooo, just love sneaky!Ianto. And Jack's frustration is so sweet because he knows that Ianto is worth waiting for...good work!

Deep down you know Jack's really enjoying being fussed over so much.

Also, you might want to fix this sentence: Okay, i totally didn't see that one coming. Sorry to be a pain.

Oh, thank you! Dh pointed that out to me earlier, but I lost track of it.

[ru-salki99.livejournal.com]

I love this. Jack is so Ianto's bitch :D

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

And loving every minute of it. :D

[tanarian.livejournal.com]

*smirk* Payback's a bitch, ain't it, Jack? Got to love this. And the mental image of Jack climbing the walls out of sheer sexual frustration is a beautiful one.

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

*smirk* Payback's a bitch, ain't it, Jack?

*wicked evil grin* Exactly!

[eumenidis.livejournal.com]

Bwahahahahah! *Love* it. Though if Jack really believes that once they hit the sheets again it'll mark the end of the matter--ahh, such a *rude* awakening.

Re: your family's attitude--well, that *is* typical, isn't it? My family is much the same, though since my mother's become increasingly dependent on me she treats me some better. These days it's mostly my oldest brother's & sister-in-law's underhanded spite that's a trial.

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

I've learned that as long as I don't expect them to be "any better than they are" (to use a fine old phrase) I don't get hurt. It's when I expect them to behave like decent human beings that I end up paying for it.

[badwolf36.livejournal.com]

Entirely amused by this. Poor Jack. This having to be at someone else's mercy regarding a relationship is new for him. And it's hilarious. :) Thanks for sharing!

"Karma's gonna get you if you don't watch out!"

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Sadistic!Ianto is totally made of win.

[tresa-cho.livejournal.com]

Hee, very well done.

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Thank yu. :)

[veejean45.livejournal.com]

Oh this was perfect! Who wouldn't love being in charge of Captain Jack? Hopefully we'll get to see more of this in a sequel...(hint hint)

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Oh this was perfect! Who wouldn't love being in charge of Captain Jack?

Who indeed? But it would take someone very smart, extremely strong-willed, a bit obsessive and more than a bit sadistic to pull it off.

Hopefully we'll get to see more of this in a sequel...(hint hint

We'll see what the muse brings.

Sweeeeeeeet! "What goes around, comes around" = some of the hottest damn foreplay imaginable. And I can't help but belive (hope, maybe?) that Jack realizes that "payback's a bitch" will apply just as well when Ianto finally lets them get overtly sexual. After all, Jack *is* thoroughly experienced--wouldn't that have to include experience in patience, tantric-like frustration, trembling on the edge longer than he thinks his nerves can possibly take....?

Or perhaps Ianto will make Jack tell him just how frustrated he is, show just how much he wants him, while Ianto considers whether Jack has suffered enough.... Gosh, it's just so much fun to watch these two now. Thanks so much for writing & sharing this!

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

I think that's Ianto's game plan. But life loves to throw curve balls!

[crowson75.livejournal.com]

*Grins* This made me smile. I dhould be thinking poor Jack...and I sort of am. But I also love that Ianto's getting to be in complete control. Lovely.

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Jack's getting a good case of "ask and ye shall receive."

[deadeven.livejournal.com]

Big smile on my face.Ianto in charge,setting the pace,love it.

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Yep! :D

[larielromeniel.livejournal.com]

What I really keyed in on was Ianto yelling at Jack when he gets killed again...it's something I've been giving a lot of thought to.

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

I know. From Jack's POV it has to be a more comforting reaction than Ten kicking Jack with his foot and not letting anyone to hug Jack.

[burntcopper.livejournal.com]

Heh. Brilliant. I hadn't really thought about Ianto's comments like that, but now I do, they make so much sense. 'See that? Mine. Not going to be a secret.'

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

A lot of things must change to Ianto's satisfaction before Jack gets any satisfaction. ;)

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

^__^Oh, that's marvelous and so cute, and Ianto groping him in the hallway ^__^ I love it

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

[noamjen.livejournal.com]

Awww, I love this.

Such a different take on their relationship that totally fits. I love how vulnerable (sp?) , yet not weak, Jack is.

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

"Vulnerable, yet not weak" is a very good description of being in love.

[windandsummer.livejournal.com]

Loved the very last. Nice work.~Bee

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

No other ending was anywhere near as good. Thank you.

[duskwillow.livejournal.com]

Love it, I could feel the UST. *g*

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

UST FTW!

[eliza2000.livejournal.com]

As much as I feel for Jack, how much fun must Ianto be having?

Mmm.

And Jack totally deservesthis, BTW.

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

It's because he deserves this that it's so much fun!
