Jack was up with the lark the following morning, he dressed quickly and ran to the stables knowing that Ianto's day started early with mucking out the stable and feeding Myfanwy.

“Jack.” Ianto said a little offish as Jack ran in, carrying on with forking clean hay into the stall Myfanwy resided in.

“You weren't here.” Jack pouted a little, his tone conveying how he was feeling.

“When?” Ianto frowned as he discarded the pitchfork and placed his hands on his hips as he asked.

“Last night, after the party, I came to find you but you had gone.”

“I saw you, dancing with her. Kissing her, you seemed to be having a good time so I went home.”

“It was all a show, for them, surely you realise that?” Jack retorted angrily. “And she kissed me, not the other way around.”

Ianto shrugged. “You're a bloody good actor then, that was one hell of a kiss from what I saw.”

“I could hardly just shove her away when one of the guests opened the patio doors on us, could I? I have no interest in her, if it wasn't for my uncle I wouldn't be marrying her, you know that, I have no choice.”

“Stand up to him, tell him you can't marry someone you don't love.” Ianto retorted angrily.

“He'll kick me out, I have no money of my own and nowhere to go, you know that.”

“We can leave, go somewhere together, get work somewhere.” Ianto told him, moving closer.

“If I leave I won't get my inheritance until I'm thirty.”

“Is that all you care about, the money?” Ianto shouted.

“No, but if I go along with this marriage I'll have it in less than four years and then I can leave her.” Jack shouted back.

“And live with her, sleep with her.” Ianto replied snarled. “Fuck her?”

“Live with her yes, share a bed with her maybe if I have to but I never intend to have sex with her.” Jack argued.

“We've not even had sex yet, not actual sex, are you ever going to have sex with me?”

“Yeah ...”

“Before you get married, or do you want to be a virgin on your wedding day in every sense of the word.” Ianto snarked, cutting him off.

“Ianto, I ...” Jack began.

“Fuck off Jack, think about what you actually want and then if you really want to be with me you know where I am.”

With that Ianto stalked out of the stable and into the yard effectively ending the fight, Jack knew he couldn't continue anything where anyone could hear them and kicked a bale of hay as he swore under his breath and headed out across the fields, striding fast towards his usual spot.

Lying in the long grass watching the man with the biplane below once more Jack thought about what Ianto had said, it was true, they hadn't done anything past wanking or sucking each other off despite Ianto pushing for more and seemingly happy to settle for what Jack was ready to give but it seemed he had been wrong, Ianto wanted more.

It took Jack a couple of hours to come to his decision but by the time he was heading home for lunch, starving because he had missed breakfast he knew he was going to make it up with Ianto.

Tonight he would take the next step, tonight he would let Ianto have sex with him, surely it couldn't be as scary as he thought it might be? He was sure it was going to hurt and that was what was largely causing him to hesitate, but for Ianto he could cope with a little pain.

Over lunch Gwen talked and talked about nothing but the wedding, it made Jack smile a little when he watched the look of boredom on her brother's face but he knew exactly how he felt.

Jack spent the afternoon in his room pondering on his decision, except for instructing Martha that he would require a bath after dinner, and as soon as he left the dining room that evening she informed him it was ready and waiting for him.

Sinking into the hot water Jack tried to relax, before anything could happen he knew he needed for Ianto to have calmed down, he hated the fact that they had argued and wanted to sort things out and be in his arms again as soon as possible.

He could understand that Ianto was jealous of Gwen, hell he knew he'd be if the tables were turned and it was Ianto being forced into a marriage with someone and tonight he was going to give Ianto what he wanted, to let him know it was him he needed, him he wanted to take his virginity.

Dressing in clean but simple attire Jack headed out the house, ignoring Gwen when she asked where he was off to with a smirk on her face as he headed straight to the stables where he knew he would be settling Myfanwy for the night.

Jack stood at the stable door watching him as he brushed Myfanwy's coat with love and affection, from everything Jack has seen he knew Ianto loved that horse as much as anyone would love an animal and would never let any harm come to her.

Waiting until Ianto had finished with the brush and covered her with a horse blanket Jack made his presence known, giving a little cough as he entered the stable properly.

“I'm sorry.” Jack said quietly, stopping a few feet away from Ianto. “I do care about you, not the money, if I could find a way out of this arrangement I would do it.”

“I know, I should never had a go at you about Gwen, I was jealous that you got the spend an entire evening with her.” Ianto admitted. “I wanted to be the one you were dancing with, the one in your arms, the one kissing you.”

“I would rather have spent the evening with you, you should have known that.” Jack replied as Ianto closed the gap a little between them.

“I did, I do, I'm sorry.” Ianto told him, reaching out, his fingertips just reaching Jack's cheek as he trailed them over it.

Jack reached up and took Ianto's hand in his, kissing his palm as he closed the gap between them completely and placed a small kiss on Ianto's lips.

“I'm ready, I want to, sleep with you. Tonight, properly.” Jack whispered.

“You're not just saying that because of what I said this morning, I want to so much, but I don't want to pressure you, I should never have said what I did.”

“No, you made me think about it seriously, I want it more than anything, for you to make me yours completely.”

“Not here though, not on the floor of the stables, we need a bed.” Ianto told him. “Can we get to your room without being heard?”

“No, too risky, what if someone heard while we were ...”

“We could go to the cottage, but Rhys might be there.” Ianto suggested.

“You could bribe him, tell him you need to cottage to be alone with a ... lady friend?”

“He'd never say no for to a few shillings for the pub.” Ianto mused. “And he'll never fall for the 'lady friend' line, if Gwen has her suspicions about you you can bet she's told Rhys.”

“Do you have a few shillings?” Jack asked.

“Are you kidding?” Ianto retorted with a snort.

“Shit!”

“He's still in the garden, in the shed, let me go and speak to him.” Ianto replied, running from the stables before Jack could answer, leaving him standing there feeling a little out of place.

When Ianto returned ten minutes later he found Jack sat on a bale of hay waiting for him with what looked like a worried expression on his face, grinning from ear to ear Ianto told him it was all fixed.

“What did you say?” Jack asked as they walked towards the tied cottage Ianto and Rhys shared.

“That I needed the cottage for the evening to entertain a girl, I didn't think there was any harm in trying what you suggested.”

“And he agreed, just like that?, no argument?” Jack asked. “He didn't say anything about you and I?”

“No nothing, but he refused at first, until I threatened to tell the master that he and Gwen were indulging in their carnal desires with each other and he agreed to spend the night in the stables.”

“He must really care for her.” Jack replied.

“Or he doesn't want to lose his job.”

“Maybe both.” Jack chuckled softly, wanting to take Ianto's hand in his own but knowing it was too risky.

Reaching the gate the to the cottage Jack came to a stop.

“You okay?” Ianto asked, opening the gate.

“Yeah, of course.” Jack told him a little nervously.

“We don't have to do this tonight.” Ianto told him, meaning every word.

“No, I mean I want to.” Jack replied, striding past Ianto and up to the front door with a purpose in his stride.

Ianto caught him up and unlocked the door, once inside Ianto pressed Jack up against the wall as they kissed desperately, hungrily until the need for air forced them apart.

“Bed?” Ianto asked, taking Jack's hand in his. “If you're sure your ready?”

Jack just nodded and allowed Ianto to lead him upstairs and into his sparsely furnished room, closing the door behind them Ianto took Jack into his arms again and kissed him tenderly.
