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!

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

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~

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

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

[kerryblaze.livejournal.com]

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

[nightporters.livejournal.com]

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

[darketernal09.livejournal.com]

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

*happy sigh*

Wonderful, poor Jack!

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Yep! XD

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Only way to end it, really. ;)

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Wonderful, poor Jack!

Yes, picking on Jack is wonderful. :D

[nightporters.livejournal.com]

Because we don't know yet they will resume or you want your Jack not to count his chickens?

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure about when they will resume, but Jack needs a lesson.

[nightporters.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but Ianto needs a Welsh lesson and some tranquilizers *grumbles loudly*

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Oh I wouldn't say that. I was the same way at his age: shy and quiet around semi-strangers, becoming more open and more willing to crack jokes when I knew them longer and felt more comfortable around them.

[nightporters.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. I think he's had a personality transplant but still...it's my beef. I did love the fic btw.

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Eh, you should meet my dh. He's the joker among his friends, but my mother (whom he detests) thinks he has all the personality of a plank of wood. There's a certain resemblance to opinions about Ianto there.

I did love the fic btw.

Thank you! :)

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.

[nightporters.livejournal.com]

dh?

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

"Dear Husband" of 19 2/3rds years.

[nightporters.livejournal.com]

Must have made for some interesting family get togethers.

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.
