Daniel set to work moving the butcher block over by the sink and locking it down. He began chopping up the tomatoes and lettuce while the ground beef began to brown in the frying pan. He shook his head at the maniacs in the living room as he stopped to pour himself a glass of wine. He really was doomed and he knew it. The honeymoon seemed to be over too, judging by the sound of arguing that he was trying desperately to ignore. He raised the glass of wine toward the ceiling.
"Happy Birthday, Daniel.....why thank you, Daniel, that's so nice of you.....oh, you're quite welcome." He snorted to himself then took a long sip from the wine. Done with the lettuce and tomatoes, he placed the chopped bits into bowls and started on the onions and chives. He grabbed a piece of celery and opened the container of already seasoned sour cream. Dredging the cut tip through, he brought the celery up with a precariously perched dollop of cream. Quickly sprinkling some of the freshly cut chives on top, he crunched into it, biting off the celery with a blissful sigh.
The noise level dropped suddenly and for a moment, he was grateful. Until he heard the interesting conversation start up between the two of them. He sighed. Supposed it was ultimately inevitable.
"He thinks we're ignoring him, you know?" Jason told Jack.
"I know, but I've learned the hard way that he likes to cook without interruption."
Jason nodded, making an agreeing noise. The game had just ended so there was suddenly nothing to do, except wait to spring their birthday presents on Daniel. Jason leaned his folded arms over the couch and rested his chin on them. He looked at Jack with a very serious expression. Trying to act as nonchalant as possible, Jack sat back against the tall cushions of the sofa arm and stared back.
"What's on your mind?" he asked curiously.
Jason let a tiny, crooked smile clip the corner of his mouth. It wasn't one of humour but more hesitant and unsure. "I was just thinking..."
Jack noticed and tried humour to dispel it. "Careful. Daniel's rubbing off on you."
"Oh, that I wouldn't mind," Jason said quietly, keeping his grin.
"You and me both," Jack replied, waiting for Jason to continue.
"Well, I was just wondering, since you and I seem to get on so well and have so much in common..." He paused, wondering if he should voice his thoughts or not.
"Spit it out, Jason," Jack said.
"Well, we're together now...aren't we?"
"We were last night."
"Was it...was it..."
"Jason, just say it," Jack told him, though he had a fair idea what Jason wanted to know.
"Was it okay?" At Jack's raised brow and the slight smirk, he amended, "I mean, was it okay enough that you wouldn't mind being with me when Daniel's not around?"
Daniel's brows lifted as he heard the questioning tone in Jason's voice. He knew where Jason was going with this and wondered how long his two lovers would figure this out.
"You mean, would we have sex if Daniel were busy, like on a dig or holed up in that office of his with a translation?"
"Yeah," Jason replied, now wishing he'd kept his mouth shut. It was too much to hope for. He loved Daniel to bits but he found himself realizing that he could fall just as hard for Jack. Though that wasn't exactly a surprise, but having that happen with two men was.
Daniel knew they needed to talk about this and wondered if he should join in the conversation or let them work out their end of it first.
"I suppose it's up to Daniel, isn't it?"
Uh oh, Daniel thought. "That's up to you two, Jack," he called out. "Can't leave everything up to me."
Jack and Jason rolled their eyes and got up from the couch and made their way into the kitchen. Jack headed to the fridge and opened the door to retrieve two beers then handed one to Jason. He gave Daniel a kiss on the back of the neck then leaned back against the opposite counter. As he looked back at Jack, Jason leaned over the butcher block to give Daniel a light kiss. He made a hungry noise at the taste of the sour cream left on his lover's lips.
Daniel licked his lips in return, then sighed. "I guess we need to talk about this three-way thing I started, don't we?"
Jack shrugged and Jason just leaned against the counter on the other side of the butcher block. Neither spoke.
Daniel sighed. "Jason, you wanted to know if Jack would be with you when I wasn't?"
Jason's cheeks pinked a bit as he suddenly felt like he'd overstepped himself. "Look, never mind. It was just a passing--"
"It's not a problem, Jace, but maybe Jack's--"
"I wouldn't be opposed..." Jack interrupted and caught an approving smile from Daniel. Jason sent them both a look of surprise, then widened his eyes as Jack moved over to his side of the butcher block. He dipped a pinky finger into the sour cream, pulled out a good amount, and then slowly put his finger in his mouth...all the while staring back at Jason, as if newly assessing him.
Daniel smirked. "Jack, you're being a tease."
Jack looked at them both as he pulled the finger from his mouth. "No, not...really..." Jason crossed his arms and smirked at him; so did Daniel. "Okay, maybe a little." His expression altered slightly. "Okay, now I'm the first to admit that I've been around, but I've never, ever, done anything like this. This...this is, well, weird, bizarre and...erotic...are words that come to mind." He cleared his throat then. "Shouldn't we wait till later to talk about this? Carter, T, and Janet will be coming over soon."
Daniel dumped the finished chives into another small bowl, then wiped his hands. "Jack, I don't think there's a better time. We really should get this sorted out. The two of you seem to be...well, uncomfortable. If we don't try and sort some of it out now, both of you will give off vibes in front of the others and you know how perceptive Janet can be."
Jason cleared his throat and took a swallow from his beer. "I'm not uncomfortable, Daniel. Not for the reason you mean. I'd be happy to be with Jack again," and hated himself as a blush appeared under Jack's gaze. "It's just that like Jack just said, I've never been in a three-way relationship, either. Are there ground rules? Do we...well, I'm sorry, Daniel but I have to say it like this. How's this going to work? Do we share you? Crap, that sounded bad. I mean..." and as he hesitated, Jack picked it up and ran with it.
"Do we draw up a roster or something?" Jack said sarcasticly. "I get to be with you Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Jason gets Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and then what happens on Sunday?"
Daniel stared at them as if they'd both said the funniest, most laughable thing. He gave them an open-mouthed short laugh. Before he could answer, Jason said something he'd never have expected.
"Daniel, maybe it would be better if I just, you know, bowed out of this thing gracefully--"
"Don't you dare!" Daniel exclaimed, and pulled Jason over the butcher block and kissed him, hard and passionately, inserting his tongue to let him know he meant it. Jason floundered for a moment in relieved surprise, though half his concentration was on not knocking anything off the butcher block as his hands sought for balance. Daniel abruptly released him, then sent him a challenging look. "Got it?"
Jason let out a slow breath. "Yeah, got it."
Jack was just as surprised and his surprise was added to by the warmth he felt watching them kiss. He cleared his throat with just a bit of embarrassment, then grinned a little as Jason and Daniel looked over at him. Daniel took a quick sip from his wine glass as he moved around Jack and took the frying pan off the heat. He ushered them both to the table and inserted himself in the middle chair.
"Okay, this is new to me, too." He looked at Jack first. "Jack, if Jason hadn't come to me, and if you hadn't had your head so far up your ass, it might have been just you and me. But he did and I love him for it. Just as I love you." His words were a bit of a shock, and from their expressions, Daniel knew that his lovers couldn't comprehend the idea of loving two men, though Jason's expression seemed a bit more open. "Look, I love both of you. I'm in love with both of you. I expect us to commit equally but, if either of you is too uncomfortable with having this kind of relationship, then it would be better to quit now before anyone's feelings get too hurt by feeling left out and-or jealous."
He pointedly looked at Jack when he said the word 'jealous', and Jack frowned indignantly, taking silent exception. Daniel cast him an apologetic look before turning to Jason. "Jason, you said you wanted to bow out. Do you want to break up?" he asked. The shocked look on Jason's face spoke volumes and the man shook his head emphatically. Daniel smiled and leaned over, kissing him softly. Releasing one lover, he turned to the other. "Jack? Do you want to walk away?"
Jack took a deep breath, looked across at Jason, then back to Daniel and slowly shook his head. "No. I'm in this way past my neck, Daniel, and there's no way I could walk away from you. Not now, not ever again." He took a sip from his beer, holding up a finger to indicate he wasn't finished speaking so the other two waited. "What I'm having a problem with is stepping on toes. I'm sorry, Daniel, for how silly this'll sound but how does sex work? Who gets to be with you first or when or how? Jason wanted to know if he and I could ever be together and...well, though I wouldn't mind...I'm a bit uncomfortable with it at the moment simply because I don't know him that well and...damn, I'm sorry Jason. That didn't sound right." He paused and took in Jason's stone-faced expression. It meant he was unhappy. Which also meant that Jack did know the man well enough to judge his expressions. "Jason, I stand corrected, because right now, I can tell that what I said bothered you."
"It's okay, Jack," Jason started, waving his hand dismissively.
"No, it's not okay. I just don't know how a relationship like this is supposed to work."
Daniel shook his head and sighed. "I won't share my time, only my feelings...equally." He could see his two lovers still didn't understand. "Okay...let's start with love first. Jack, you loved Charlie - totally - didn't you?"
"You know I did."
"How much?"
"What?"
"How much did you love him?"
"With everything that I was, Daniel, you know that."
"And if you'd had a second child. Would you have loved that child any less?"
"No, of course not."
"Would you have loved Charlie any less to allow yourself to love the second child?"
"No, that's not possible."
"Jason? If you had more than just Lysa as a sibling, could you have loved the others any less than she?" Jason shook his head. "Did you love your mom more than your dad?"
"No, just different. Neither one any less than the other."
"Exactly. That's the way it is for me, guys. I can love you both, equally, and I do. What I feel for you Jack has no impact on what I feel for Jason, or the other way around. You guys need to come to the same place if this is going to work. Can you understand that I love you both for the same and for different reasons? That I accept - and am frankly surprised - that you both love me?"
Jason and Jack both inclined their heads, beginning to understand. Jack, with understanding of Charlie; Jason, with understanding his parents and his sister. They both nodded at Daniel.
"I'm obviously, though who the hell knows why, less inhibited than the two of you about this idea. I should have thought that last night would have taken care of that, but I guess not." He took a deep breath, waiting for them to disagree and when they didn't, he knew this would be harder than he thought. Daniel hadn't actually planned on having a relationship with the both of them. It frankly surprised him earlier that morning when he'd realized that he did not want to be without either of them and it had nothing whatsoever to do with selfishness. He was in love with them both...he only had to get them to love each other. Putting a pin in that thought for the time being, he took another deep breath and went on.
"You want ground rules, Jack? There are no ground rules. Well, other than the following: if either of you feels uncomfortable or insecure, come out with it; no secrets where that is concerned. Agreed?"
Surprised, both Jack and Jason nodded. Daniel thought that was too easy but he put that thought aside as well.
"Now...as for sex...the best way to explain that would be an example," and he thought for a moment. "Okay, imagine that the girls and Teal'c weren't coming over today, and I was, say, doing what I was doing..." and he got up and went over to the butcher block. "And one of you came up behind me and began to let me know you were in the mood to make love...right here...in the kitchen," and he paused, watching them both grin, liking the image that came to their minds. He did as well and he cleared his throat to focus. "What would one of you do if you came in and saw that I was receptive to the other? Would you get jealous and walk off in a huff or would you want to join in? Or...would you do the wallflower thing and wait to see what I would want?" Daniel leaned against the block, folded his arms, and waited for the answer while images of his 'example' ran through his mind. He wanted both of them, there and now, but he focused on receiving an answer because, at the moment, it was more important.
Jack swallowed, wishing Daniel hadn't given him that arousing image...but only as it was a pleasant distraction. He had however, made a good point with it. "Well, would you mind if I were to do that, Jace?" Jack asked, using his nickname for the first time.
Jason shook his head. "You?"
Jack shook his head. "What would you feel about it?" he asked, taking a sip from his beer.
"I...if I wasn't in the mood for a threesome, I might be embarrassed, though probably very aroused, at walking in on you, so it's something I'd have to get used to. I guess we'll have to work this out along the way. What about you, Jack? How would you feel?"
"The same I guess."
"Okay," and Jason paused. "So, what about between the two of us?"
"I'm not in love with you, Jason...I'm sorry."
Jason gave him a tiny grin. "I know that...and I think you know what I mean. Just sex."
"Are you saying you'd want to make love to me...just me?" Jack asked, finally getting Jason's point. Took him a while.
Jason glanced at Daniel and he gave Jason an encouraging nod. Jason gave Jack an intense look. "Remember when we were in the elevator?" he asked suddenly. "I could have sworn that something passed between us. Or when we were alone in your office, didn't you sense something?" He paused for a moment. "I know there was something. I felt it, Jack. I saw it...in the look you gave me. We were flirting," and he paused, swallowing hard himself and noticed that Jack did the same. "I told Daniel about how I felt. It didn't bother him. And you should know that...I wanted you then...just as I do now," and he swallowed convulsively that time. "We may or may not end up loving each other, Jack, but I can see it happening from my side of things...since I'm already going there."
Jack felt another surprise hitting him. He had to admit to himself that he'd thought about Jason more than once, long before this, but he'd not once considered that Jason would feel anything for him...other than the flirting thing they seemed to have going...and he felt very flattered. Very flattered. He had thought Jason was interested only because of Daniel's presence. He cleared his throat, several times, before answering. "I'm very flattered, Jason, and I...wouldn't turn you down." Jack was remembering how he loved the feeling of being inside Jason and the sudden arousing image of Jason being inside him surprised him. He flushed at the unexpected arousal and had to will it away.
Daniel regarded them, realizing that his lovers would be fine. They just had a little testing ground to go through. He walked over and knelt down in front Jack, then pulled Jason's hand, drawing him to sit in the abandoned chair so that he'd be closer.
"You know, there's a bright side to all this."
"There are a few of them, but what do you mean?" Jason asked.
"One way to combat any sense of jealousy at seeing me with the other person is to give in to that kink of voyeurism I know you both have -- just like I do. I think of it now, watching the two of you, and it's a major turn on."
Their smiles were secretive, filled with desire.
"That does sound like it's..." Jack started.
"Worth investigating," Jason finished.
They grinned at each other, the embarrassment still present but diminishing.
"I love you guys so much right now," Daniel said suddenly and cleared his throat. "And you have no idea how badly that idea of mine makes me want to..." He placed his hands over their groins, stroking their firming cocks. "For instance, if I jerked both of you off..." They groaned soft noises and just when Daniel's fingers reached for the buttons to their pants, the knock on the door stopped him. He sighed, making Jack and Jason expel nervous, yet lustful, laughs. "To be continued," Daniel whispered and stood up. "Come on in," he called out and went back to the stove, returning the beef to the heat.
Janet, Sam, and Teal'c came into the kitchen and Janet whistled.
"Daniel, you look gorgeous in that shirt." She was referring to the cream-colored brushed silk shirt he wore with his light blue jeans.
"Oh yeah," Jason said and caught gleaming agreement in Jack's eyes. To the others, Jack merely smiled, but both Daniel and Jason knew what it meant. Daniel smiled happily. Yeah, things would be okay between them. He turned from the stove and gave Janet a hug, then saw Teal'c standing there holding a large cake platter in his hands. The frosting was light brown, decorated with white flowers. It spelled out 'happy birthday, Daniel' in small delicate letters. Daniel sniffed suddenly and walked toward the cake.
"Jan! Rum chocolate?"
She grinned. He started toward her then stopped, eyeing Sam.
"Sam help you with this?" he asked.
"Hey!" Sam protested and reached out from behind Janet and smacked him in the shoulder.
Everyone else, except Teal'c, sniggered. He actually liked Sam's cooking, which wasn't that bad, she just couldn't bake a cake to save her life.
"No, Daniel," Janet told him. He leaned down and smelled the cake, closing his eyes and making approving noises. He opened his eyes after another whiff, then put his arms around her.
"Marry me!" he breathed out and kissed her full on the mouth.
"Hey!" Jason teased back, pretending jealousy and slapped Daniel on the ass. Jack didn't pretend, unused to this sort of display from Daniel. It made him even more acutely aware just how much out of Daniel's life he'd pushed himself.
Janet, meanwhile, simply melted, then pushed Daniel roughly away. "You'll never know what you're missing," she said with a wicked grin and poked him hard in the chest. He grabbed her offending finger playfully.
"Jan, don't tease me," he said with a seductive voice just his other hand's finger made its way to the delectable frosting. Janet's free hand promptly smacked it away.
"Aht!"
"Minx! Come over here and tease me with your frosting and then you won't let me have any."
"Not till later."
Daniel pushed out his bottom lip in a pout, though he couldn't keep it for long as his lips curved upward into a smile.
Jack, Jason, and Teal'c stared at their display in amused tolerance, Jack having gotten used to it already. Sam, however, rolled her eyes in false boredom. She was used to seeing these teasing displays between the two of them.
"Jan? Please?"
She tried to hold back but Daniel started batting his eyes at her and suddenly she laughed and gave in. "Ohhhh, you!" and she swiped some chocolate rum frosting from the side of the cake and held out her hand in a sweetly provocative smile. "Dare you."
"You'll be sorry," Jason warned, having had this done to him with orange frosting from a danish. That little exercise in Daniel's office a few weeks earlier had Jason uncomfortably hard as he'd left soon after for his next mission.
Daniel took her finger in his mouth, licking off the frosting slowly, savoring it's flavor. He closed his eyes and moaned.
She abruptly pulled her hand away. "Holy shit!"
"I warned you," Jason said, laughing at the look on her face as he felt himself becoming a bit warm at his own memory.
"I need a cold shower now," she grumbled in mock-anger.
"At least you're in a position to take one. I was on my way to the gateroom when he pulled that on me."
Everyone but Daniel, who grinned evilly, gave Jason a puzzled stare.
He found Jack especially giving him a focused stare. "What? He pulled that on me in his office. "I stopped off to say goodbye before I left on my mission and he was in the middle of eating this orange-flavored frosted danish. I made the idiotic mistake of taking some of the frosting off with my pinky," and he made the motion with his hand, "and he then complained." Daniel laughed at him and Jason glared back. "So I asked 'you want it back'? - which was a big fuckin' mistake - so Daniel opened his mouth, practically daring me." Jason snorted, knowing damn well that when Daniel dared him to do anything, he would.
"Daniel?" Jack asked with that tone that hinted at something devilish that he was about to say.
"Jack?"
"You have a finger fetish we should know about?"
Sam and Janet's mouths dropped open as Jason covered his mouth, laughing at the double meaning. Daniel narrowed his eyes. "As a matter of fact, would you like to find out?"
Jack's eyes widened as he looked briefly at Sam, Janet, and Teal'c. He recovered quickly, however, as his own eyes reflected mischief. "No, I'm already on intimate terms with Fraiser's, but thanks for the offer."
Jason doubled over, laughing harder and Daniel's mouth dropped open that time. Sam and Janet, however, didn't bother to snigger as the ribald humour finally sank in. Teal'c even knew, for once, what they were laughing about and simply grinned tolerantly. Once the display was over, Daniel didn't fail to notice that both Teal'c and Sam were holding something behind their backs. Teal'c's was hidden but Sam's was obviously a store sack of some sort.
"Hi, Teal'c," he greeted. "What'cha got?"
Teal'c brought out his hand from behind his back. It nearly covered the item, on which Daniel could only see a large red bow. Teal'c then held up his hand. The item was a piece of pottery; a small, deep bowl and old by the look of it. It was filled with wax.
"Happy birthday, Daniel," he said, leaving off his last name (as Daniel had been asking him to do repeatedly for almost six years).
Daniel damn near went breathless, knowing exactly what it was. "A Chulak meditation bowl?" Teal'c nodded once. "I thought you couldn't find any more?"
"I found the means through Bra'tac to acquire two more. One of them is for you."
Daniel was overcome and he hugged Teal'c tightly, wrapping his arms not around the big man's waist but around his neck. Teal'c's browline skyrocketed in surprise but he smiled gratefully.
"Thank you, Teal'c," Daniel said, his voice half-muffled in Teal'c's jacket. He pulled away, taking the pottery bowl reverently from Teal'c's hands, then tugged at his jacket. "Take off your coat and stay awhile," he said as he moved over and placed it with his gift with other 'fine' artifacts; ones he actually used periodically: A small drum. A tiny flute device. A coiled set of prayer beads. Not that he prayed, but he did use them to meditate instead.
"Am I not invited?" Teal'c asked, trying not to smile at his own humour.
Daniel backhanded him across the arm, not bothering to reply, as he smiled broadly at him. His eyes then bugged out as he suddenly remembered the beef on the stove. He ran into the kitchen, then sighed, remembering that he hadn't turned the heat up yet. Janet startled him then as she tried to shoo him out of the kitchen.
"What?"
"If it's your birthday, you don't cook."
"Since when?"
"Since now."
"Uh huh," he argued. "In your house, not mine."
She peered at him, squinting in that look that usually turned all of her nursing staff too ash. It didn't work on Daniel.
"Compromise, then. You can help."
"Deal. You sit and supervise," and she shoved him down on the chair next to Jason. Jack started to laugh.
"You may as well give in, Daniel."
"Never!" he said, then turned, the cake catching his eye. "Oooh, on the other hand," and his hand reached out. Suddenly he found himself yanked out of the chair and pulled across the kitchen.
"Teal'c!" Janet yelled. "Guard that cake."
"Fuck!" Daniel complained. "He will, too, Jan. No fair."
"Backatcha, you little bastard," she hissed. "Sucking on my finger like that."
"Daniel, you should watch it!" Jack said, winking at Jason. "You don't know where it's been!" said the both of them.
"Ewww, gross," Janet and Sam complained in return. Daniel only sniggered.
"Don't start guys. You know I can get a lot worse," Daniel warned them all, and everyone promptly shut up. Daniel finally made his way over to Sam and gave her a hug. "So, what'd you bring me?"
"The cake," Sam said, pushing him playfully.
"Saaaam, I saw that bag. What's in it?"
The two of them playfully poked and pushed at each other like siblings as Sam played 'keep away' with the sack. Teal'c thought it was amusing and Janet was as bored by it as Sam had been with her antics. Jack, on the other hand, was not amused. The two of them together scared the shit out of him. He said as much in a whisper to Jason and Jason commented back to him in a quiet, secretive tone.
Janet stirred the meat mixture on the stove, turning the heat up a bit as she watched Jack and Jason and their private interaction. Something struck her about the two; their behavior was somehow different than in the past. Much friendlier, certainly, now that the estrangement between Jack and Daniel was over, but there was something more; almost...more...personal? Her eyes grew for a second, then she schooled her features carefully to make sure that no one noticed. She watched them surrepticiously, careful not to stare, and was grateful that Teal'c's attention was on the dueling pseudo-sibs instead.
Daniel, disgusted that he couldn't get a peek into the sack, came back into the kitchen, then seeing that Janet was busy, offered the women glasses of wine which they gratefully accepted. Sam sat down at the table and her stomach suddenly growled. Daniel snorted.
"Haven't you had anything to eat today?" he asked.
"No, she's been saving up for cake," Janet said and sent Sam a scolding look. Sam stuck her tongue out at her just as her sneaky finger retrieved some frosting and escaped into her mouth before Janet could do anything. Daniel and the guys, including Teal'c, laughed at that.
"Poor baby," Daniel sing-songed as he went to the fridge. "I may have just the thing," and he brought out a small smoked salmon deli tray and laid it on the table in front of the cake. "Here ya go, Sam. Have at it."
Sam inhaled, making assorted yummy noises as she took the small elegant knife and spread some pate over a cracker and popped the whole thing into her mouth. Daniel grinned at her as he handed her a glass of wine, then turned and gave Janet hers.
"I finally got those bushes in the ground, Jan. They look great. You wanna see them before the light goes?"
"Yes!" she exclaimed, half interested in the bushes and more interested in getting him alone to ask a burning question. She started to turn down the heat until Teal'c stood up.
"I will watch the stove, Doctor Fraiser."
"Janet, Teal'c. We're off duty," Janet told him as he walked up to the stove.
Teal'c bowed his head. "As you wish, but it does not sound...respectful."
"It is if I ask you to call me that."
He inclined his head, then nodded at the logic. The food was almost ready and Jack got up to get the tortillas from the fridge while Jason went over and grabbed the seasoning and water for the beef. Teal'c stirred while he added. Sam decided to go through Daniel's music CDs while he took Janet out back.
As he showed her around the yard, she nodded at the appropriate places when he'd gone on to explain what he'd used to prepare the soil with, then what fertilizer to plant with, but he didn't fail to notice that she was only half paying attention.
"Jan?"
"What?"
"Something on your mind?"
She looked at him seriously, hesitating. "Daniel, can I ask you a personal question?"
He eyed her, sensing something...not wrong exactly, but maybe concern and curiosity. "Shoot."
She pressed her lips together. "How's your relationship with Jason?"
He raised an eyebrow. "Fine. Why?"
"And your friendship with Jack?"
"Fine," he drew out. She was leading to something.
"I noticed that the Colonel and Jason, are...more...relaxed around each other. I don't know if the others have noticed, but they seemed more...I don't know..."
"Involved?" he asked, knowing damn well if he didn't own up, she'd guess.
Her expression told him everything. "Yes," she drawled.
Daniel cleared his throat. "I know you'd never repeat anything I'm going to say..."
"Never, Daniel, you know that."
Daniel nodded, considering his words. "Last night, the three of us got together."
She gave him a puzzled shake of the head, then...her eyes went wide. She thought that maybe they were both seeing Daniel, but...together? "Oh. My. God. How? No, scratch that."
Daniel found that amusing and he snorted. "I love them both, Jan. I started something last night that...frankly, feels natural. It still shocks me that Jack was...receptive. I already knew Jason would be."
"Wow," she said softly, shocked that Jack would even consider it, although she knew how much he loved Daniel.
"I know. I was finally able to trust Jack again and after he kissed me in my office--"
"When was that?" she asked in further surprise.
"Oh...day before yesterday."
"Go on," and she gave him a sisterly smirk.
"They gave me a...birthday present. It was beautiful." He looked away, suddenly embarrassed that he told her that.
"I'm fine with it, Daniel. I was only thinking of you. I saw something between them and I wanted to be sure you were okay."
He gave her a one-armed hug and kissed the top of her head. "Thanks."
"But, if this thing shouldn't work out and either of them hurts you, or you them? Well, I still do your physicals, capiche?"
Daniel winced. "Gotcha." He then let a smile spread across his face. "It'll be okay. Promise. Trust me?"
"With my life," she replied immediately.
"Good," he said, giving her a tiny smile of understanding that it worked both ways.
The door opened, interrupting them. It was Jack. "Hey," and he looked at Janet. "Carter's asking for you. She and Teal'c are having a debate about music selections."
Janet snorted and excused herself and left Jack alone with Daniel.
"So...what's up?" he asked as he walked up next to him.
"Bushes," Daniel said truthfully. The thought sparked a naughty bit of arousal in him.
"Bushes?" Jack asked, and Daniel took him by the hand.
"Yeah, like these tall ones," he said with a mischievous tone and pulled Jack next to a tall juniper, hiding him from the door. Jack suddenly found himself up close and personal with Daniel's lips and he didn't mind one bit. Just as he began to explore Daniel's tonsils and wind a leg around him, Teal'c called them from the door. Daniel winked and stole back into the house, leaving Jack in his wake. Jack paused a moment, then growled at Daniel's tease and following him back in.
Sometime later, after dinner had been served and heartily eaten, Daniel went to take a leak and ran into Jason coming out. "Hey, Jace," he greeted quietly, then pulled him back into the bathroom and gave Jason a feverishly passionate kiss. When Jason started to stir up the action, Daniel slowly let him go.
"Sorry, Jace, I gotta piss," he said apologetically as he gave him a short kiss, then gently pushed Jason out of the bathroom and closed the door. Jason stood outside the door, then growled deep in his throat. As he made his way to the end of the hallway, he found Jack leaning against the wall, watching him.
"He pull a kiss on you that would melt iron ore?" he asked suspiciously.
Jason nodded, his eyes looking similar to burning coals. They both made growling noises, almost in commiseration. Daniel came out of the bathroom just then and smiled as he sidled past them. His two lovers sent him glares of warning.
"I have an idea," Jack said.
Jason felt himself harden as he stared into the enigmatic and mischievous face of his...lover. Just the thought of the word applying to Jack made him even harder. "So do I," he murmured. He took Jack by the arm and peeked down the hall toward the living room before he guided Jack into Daniel's office and shut the door.
"What?" Jack asked, but the 't' was barely said before Jason took his face in his hands and kissed him deeply. Startled, Jack stiffened in his arms, but very quickly relaxed and wound his own around Jason. He was somehow different to Jack. He tasted different, and he definitely felt different. Jason tightened his hold and slid a hand down over Jack's ass, pushing down to bring their groins tightly together. Jack let out a short moan, matched by Jason's needful voice. When their kiss parted and Jason stepped back, Jack thumbed his lips while staring at Jason's. "Damn. What was that for?"
Jason smiled softly. "I wanted to. I didn't feel you object."
Jack swallowed, realizing that he was hard as nails. "No, I didn't object. It was nice, actually."
The evening wore on slowly and finally, before the cake was even cut and served, the guests gathered Daniel in the living room and corralled him onto the sofa for the gift-giving. Daniel was treated to two gorgeous sweaters from Janet and Sam, one teal blue and the other an eggshell white. Jason handed Daniel a rolled leather bundle, tied around the center. Daniel cast him a cautious smile as he hefted the item, testing its weight. It was heavy and slightly awkward in that its weight wasn't balanced. He pulled the tie and the bundle unfolded on its own. A new set of archaeological tools looked back at him.
Daniel's mouth dropped open. "I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for the requisition I sent in months ago."
"I know," Jason said with mock-sufferance at listening to Daniel bitch about having to wait for simple tools. Jason looked around at the others, knowing they'd heard the same thing off and on. "I thought it was time somebody did something, if only to get you to shut up."
Daniel smirked at him, trying to hold back his smile, but it burst forth anyway. "Sappy bastard, thank you." He leaned forward and gave Jason a hug.
His next present was from Jack, and Jack...well, Jack gave Daniel a bag of coffee beans.
"Uh...thanks Jack...um, it's my favorite brand." Daniel frowned in puzzlement. He knew Jack wasn't much on gift-giving but...Daniel started to put the bag on the table when Jack held up his hand.
"Check inside, Daniel. Make sure the beans are okay." He crooked the corner of his mouth upward then.
Daniel gave the same look back and opened the wired folds of the bag and glanced inside. He didn't see anything, so he shifted the beans about. Still nothing. He looked at Jack and began to squish and mold the bag, feeling with the tips of his fingers...then his eyebrows shot up in surprise. He felt something round and flat and very hard. His brows knitted in confusion, Daniel stuck his fingers inside and felt something like a plastic bag so he pulled it out. Clear plastic came out of the bag, spilling beans everywhere, which Daniel ignored as he spotted the contents of the plastic bag. He dumped it out into his hand.
It was a white gold pocket watch with Egyptian designs etched into the case. A long watch fob was attached and he wound it around his hand as he turned the watch over and over, examining the exterior with his usual diligence. He pressed the front clasp and popped open the cover. His mouth dropped open at the background and face. The background resembled parchment; the hands were akin to the markers on a sundial; the numbers of the clock were in the Egyptian numeral script. His mouth stayed open as he gave Jack a look of respectful surprise, then saw Jack staring at the watch suggestively. It told Daniel there was something more. He looked it over and then fixed on the inside of the cover. Engraved were the words:
"Even in the Book of the Dead,
Daniel, no one was ever late."
~ Jack
It was sarcastic and flippant, alluding to Daniel's habit of being late all the time, and he loved it. He was also speechless. Jack had gone to a lot of trouble for this unusual gift. It must've taken a while, too, which meant that Jack had never, ever, forgotten his birthday. Still waters. He desperately wanted to kiss Jack, in front of everyone, but had to rein the feeling in. Instead, he whispered in a very quiet voice, "Thanks, Jack." He sniffed then, pretending it was his allergies but everyone knew how emotional the gift from Jack made him. They laughed softly and said "awwww," including Jason, who was giving Jack his own look of respectful appreciation. Daniel rolled his eyes, getting over the loving embarrassment quickly.
Then someone made the suggestion that they cave into playing his favorite board game. From then on, the mood was friendly but combative...as it was nearly wholesale slaughter on Daniel's side of things. He'd figured he'd got a little of his own back.
At one point during the game, which ended up consisting only of Daniel and Sam and a plethora of 'evil genius' words, Daniel got up to go take a leak, begging everyone not to give his letters away to Sam. His friends pretended to be insulted, insisting that they would never stoop to such tactics. When Janet offered to do just that, Sam waved her off, saying that her vocabulary was just as large as Daniel's, which earned her a few grins.
As Daniel walked off down the hall, Jack caught Jason's attention. He gave a slight nod of his head in Daniel's direction and they both got up.
"Time for another beer," Jack said, and though he went and got one, it wasn't his main concern. They made their way down the hall and waited on either side of the bathroom door. When Daniel opened the door, he paused, and after taking in the predatory 'payback' in their eyes, he tried to back away and shut the door but it didn't work. Naturally, and how could it? He was dealing with not just one former Special Ops man, but two. He was, as he had intoned earlier that day, doomed.
His lovers pulled him into his office study and closed the door. Daniel found himself pushed up against the door by hands holding him by his biceps, then two faces nuzzled up against his ears. Their tongues went to work on his earlobes while their free hands groped him very firmly, making his dick half-hard. Jack kissed him first, hard, his tongue teasing Daniel's just before breaking away for Jason to do the same. The movements were highly eroticized and just when he thought he could forget about everything and everyone else in the house, his lovers abruptly let him go. His eyes then widened in surprise - just as Jason's did - as Jack took Jason's face in one hand and kissed him, long and deep. Jason grabbed Jack about the waist, returning the kiss with interest.
Daniel watched, swallowing quickly as he felt his dick thicken to full hardness. Gods, they turned him on. Just as suddenly as the action began, it stopped and his lovers broke apart, then pulled Daniel from the door. With two swift kisses on his temples, they left him alone in the office.
Daniel stood there, cheeks flushed, groin throbbing madly now, and no warm body beside him.
Oh, those rat bastards. He then forced himself to calm down, taking several deep breaths. It was only fair after what he'd done to them. Taking a deep breath, he walked out of the office. When he saw that no one was in the living room, he looked toward the kitchen and spied a flame reflection on the wall as he rounded the corner. He was then taken by surprise by a flaming cake and a round of "Happy Birthday."
Biting back an urge to say something smart ass, he simply took a breath and blew out all thirty seven candles. There was one precariously tilted and he rescued it out of the cake before the melted wax dripped. Licking off the frosted end, he handed it to Jack and smiled, then took out another candle, licked it and gave it to Jason, giving them both a huge Cheshire-cat smile. Jack and Jason had already been half-hard and had to occupy themselves with something else as they cleared their throats.
Sam, Janet, and Teal'c observed the display with quiet amusement. What the boys never realized was that neither Sam nor Teal'c seemed that surprised by Jack's reaction.
Sam cleared her throat. "Care for some of the cake, Daniel, or are you going to tease the good Colonel and Major into a coma first? I'd like to add that I've been dying for some of this cake all damn day."
"I concur," Teal'c agreed.
Daniel relented, laughing, though he gave each of his lovers a knowing wink as a send-off, getting smirks from them in return. Janet made a show of giving Daniel the first slice of the two-layered square cake, then waited for the sign of approval. When Daniel took his first bite, closed his eyes and moaned, Janet smiled happily and started slicing for everyone, who promptly gave her similar sounds of approval.
As they ate, Jack and Jason never took their eyes from Daniel as each had fantasies which involved their lover, some frosting, and a bit of candle wax.
Around 11 p.m., the party wound down and Teal'c, having finally been given driving lessons by everyone, took Janet's keys to drive the women home. Daniel thanked Sam and Janet again for their gifts and they gave Daniel a hug and a kiss in return, then chatted down the walk, slightly tipsy, on their way to the car. Teal'c gave Daniel a bowed head of respect, then inclined his head in a warning to the other two men - who tried to gave their best poker faces - then left without a word. Daniel stood at the door, watching after his friends, and waited until they'd backed out of the driveway and sped off before he stepped back in and closed the door.
"Well, that was fun," Daniel said earnestly, turning around. Just after he did so, Jack leapt. He'd been held at bay for the last four hours and normally it wouldn't have been such a big thing, but he'd had to pretend not to be interested, all the while teasing Daniel with looks and barest of touches, bold come-ons away from the others, and simple fantasies while eating cake. He glanced over at Jason and Jason inhaled silently at the predatory leer in Jack's eyes. Jack wanted Daniel and he wanted him something fierce, but he was telling Jason that he wanted him, too.
All Jack was thinking of was that he was mostly sober this time so there were no excuses for him. The little knowledge that came to him that he wanted both Daniel and Jason seemed to only increase the fire building in his belly. He pushed Daniel roughly against the door and kissed him hard, driving his tongue down his throat while his hands passed over Daniel's body in hard touches and caresses, his hands grabbing his ass, his thighs, and one hand pressing and rubbing over Daniel's stiffening cock.
Daniel gasped as he felt this incredible lust overtake his senses. He grabbed Jack in return and turned things around, shoving Jack back against the door as he ravaged his body with his hands. Jack suddenly took Daniel's head in his strong callused hands and held him as he began to bite and nip along his jaw and throat. Daniel felt his legs go weak at the wildness of it...and Jack felt it too.
Jason in the meantime, didn't know what to do with himself, and their earlier conversation came back to him. He was highly aroused and wanted to join in, but at the same time, he didn't exactly want to interrupt...but yet, he did. Daniel turned his head as Jack kissed his jaw and looked over at Jason, watching them with an aroused but hesitant look on his face. He shot out his hand and caught Jason around his neck, pulling him into a hungry kiss. As Daniel's tongue plunged into his mouth, Jason's hands sought out the bodies of his lovers, touching, caressing, and finally having a good grip on both their asses.
Sounds from his lovers' throat made Jack break up the momentum and step away. "Bedroom. Both of you. Now," he growled, and took them both by the hands and led them there. Inside, the startled, and highly aroused, pair found themselves shoved onto the bed. Faced with a bossy Jack, Jason stared at Jack incredulously, as did Daniel.
Jack started to tear his clothes off, and ordered, "Strip...unless you want me to tear that silk off of you..." Daniel's heart rate increased, as did Jason's. Purposely leaving his clothes on, Daniel refused to comply, wanting Jack to do his worst. His hands instead went to Jason's jeans and unzipped them, caressing the outline of his cock as he went. Jason returned the favor and then pushed Daniel back as he laid on top of him and kissed him. When they broke apart, they stared back at Jack with looks of defiance...and invitation. Dressed only in his boxers now, Jack rumbled deep in his throat and grabbed Daniel by the back of the neck, holding him firmly while he ripped the cream-colored silk shirt from him. Buttons ricocheted and the torn cloth slid down Daniel's arms as Jack took Daniel's mouth in a wild, erotic kiss, thrusting his tongue in and out. Daniel moaned out a long breath and his hand groped for Jason. When his other hand went for Jack's cock, he was abruptly released as Jack then turned to Jason.
Jason had been slowly removing his shirt while he watched. When Jack's attention turned on him, he froze. The man's gaze held him fast and if Jason thought he was hard before, it was nothing compared to now.
"You think you're getting away?" Jack growled.
Jason didn't exactly want his shirt torn off and tried to remove it as quickly as he could but found himself surrendering to Jack's passion as the man grabbed him and ripped his shirt open the rest of the way, sending the remaining buttons flying. Just as he tore it off his body and gave Jason a searing kiss, Jason pulled Jack hard against him, kissing back with equal force, reminding Jack just who he was dealing with. Jason pulled away then and bit at his lips, his alpha response igniting Jack even further. Jack pulled off Jason's jeans and boxers as Daniel grabbed Jason and kissed him just as hard, equaling the intensity, the roughness that Jack had initiated. Daniel felt two sets of hands removing his clothing and sought out their skin, lovingly caressing it with firm fingers.
Jack pushed them on their backs and knelt between them, his hands running over their naked skin. He smiled as he forced a gasp from Jason's throat, touching his cock firmly, hissing when Jason returned the caress. Equally busy with Daniel - stroking his chest, his abdomen, and finally, his cock - Jack growled as Daniel's hand met up with Jason's over his erection. Jack stroked them both for a few more seconds before forcing himself to move away to grab the lube. Pouring some into both hands, he began to stroke them again, loving the feel of them, loving to watch them writhe in the pleasure of it. He gasped, his eyes half-lidded as their hands increased the pleasure of their two-handed stroking.
Daniel was so turned on. He'd never - ever - suspected this side to Jack. He didn't know what Jack would want next, but whatever it was, he knew he'd give it to him. Jason felt the same. This was an Alpha Jack he'd never seen and he loved it. Loved him, too, quite possibly, and when Jack looked into Jason's eyes like that, a wave of intense passion hit him. He thrust up into Jack's hand as his strokes lengthened; tightening, squeezing, making him gasp.
"Oh God," Jason whispered, tilting his head back as he ran a hand over Daniel's abdomen. When he turned his head, Daniel's tongue found its way into his mouth, probing deep and heatedly, intensifying his passion along with each ardent stroke of Jack's not-so-gentle touch.
"Turn on your left sides," Jack ordered in a deep growl. They did so and as Jason settled in front of Daniel, he gasped as he felt Jack's fingers applying cool lube over his anus and cleft, then gasped again as those fingers gently pressed and entered him. He turned his head to be sure and yes, they were Jack's fingers. Jason closed his eyes and leaned his head back against Daniel as Daniel's hand slid around to his front. Jack leaned down, taking Daniel's nipple in his mouth to suckle and tease between his teeth. He felt Daniel cup his head and looked up, finding Daniel watching him. He slowly removed his fingers from Jason to grasp Daniel's shaft, stroking firmly, slowly, enticingly, rubbing the head firmly with his thumb. Daniel moaned as Jack followed his caresses by rubbed the glans of his cock against Jason's entrance.
"Yes," he moaned, sliding his arms around Jason. As Jason lifted his leg, he echoed the sentiment, arching back to give Daniel better access.
"Fuck him," Jack whispered against Daniel's ear, biting and pulling the lobe.
At his words, both Jason and Daniel again whispered, "Yes."
Daniel held onto Jason's hips and pushed, groaning as his cock was enveloped in the tight hole. As he sheathed himself completely, Jack kissed, suckled, and bit against his throat. He loved this. Loved every moment. Two men he adored more than anything, both in front and behind. Yet he wanted more as he heard Jason moan. "Jack...taste him," he panted.
Jason let out a harsh breath of excitement as Jack slid his body in front of him, his tongue moving Daniel's fingers aside to suck and pull at his nipples. A gasp escaped his throat when Jack worried one nub between his teeth, then another. "Yes," he said, his thraot dry from the constant heavy breathing. Then Jack's tongue was thrust into his mouth, fucking him, mirroring Daniel's movements. He broke away, taking in a breath before he grabbed Jack's cock and began to jerk him off with steady, firm pressure, twisting at the top before sliding his fist back down.
Jack groaned and thrust. "God, yes."
Daniel closed his eyes for a moment, unable to concentrate on anything but the sounds of his lovers and the heat of Jason's body. He rocked his hips; at first slowly, then with increasing the speed as he thrust deep, angling for his lover's prostate.
Pushing Jack away, Jason cried out, panting, as his small gland was caressed again and again. Daniel smiled against his neck, then bit down and thrust harder, loving the sounds that emitted from his lover's throat. Jack kissed him again before nipping his way down Jason's body, grabbing the nearby towel to wipe the lube from Jason's cock. The roughness of it, even as gentle as Jack tried to be, was making Jason wince and though it wasn't painful, it was excruciatingly sensitive. That sensitivity changed to something akin to nirvana as the wet heat from Jack's mouth engulfed him.
"Oh fuck!" he cried out as Daniel changed his thrusts, adjusting with Jack's motion.
Jack suddenly pulled his mouth away and reached between Jason's legs to take hold of Daniel's balls. He squeezed them - and none to gently, gaining a protesting growl from Daniel's throat. "Daniel, don't you dare come. I have plans for you."
"Goddamn you, Jack," Daniel complained harshly, watching as Jack lowered his mouth over Jason's throbbing cock. He slowed down his thrusts, changing their angle, moving hard and deep. Jason's breathing began to alter and Daniel could tell he was close. He leaned in, biting and grazing his teeth just under Jason's jaw. "Come for me," he demanded, and slammed his hips home.
Jack began to moan, creating a vibration that had Jason beginning to jerk and cry out. His left hand clutched in Jack's hair while his right reached back and clamped onto Daniel's thigh. He gasped loudly several times, then...
"Oh yes, Jack...Daniel...GOD!" and he screamed, loud and long, clutching Jack's shoulder in a vise-like grip as he came down his throat.
"OH SHIT!" Daniel cried out in warning as Jason's anal muscles contracted around him, then felt Jack's hand reaching underneath to squeeze his balls just past the point of pain. It stopped his orgasm, but only for a moment. If Jason squeezed him like that again...
The keen pleasure of Jack's mouth on his all-too sensitive dick forced Jason to push him away. "Jack, stop, stop," Jason begged, shuddering.
Jack swallowed all he could, then made his way back up to Jason's mouth and kissed him hard, giving Jason a taste of himself through his hungry mouth. Jason responded fiercely, his tongue dueling back, surprising Jack with his strength as he grasped hold of his arms, pulling him against him. His orgasm was still shuddering through his body as he held on to this beautiful man who'd just sent his mind into orbit. Jack found himself enjoying Jason's reactions as he rubbed his throbbing cock against his groin, making Jason twitch with the sensitive touch.
Pulling away, his need deep and heavy, Jack kissed Jason once more, softly, then settled behind Daniel, kissing the back of his neck. Daniel felt his tongue sliding down his spine and he moaned loudly, his hands caressing Jason's chest. Jack bit his way down, reaching Daniel's buttocks. Snaking his tongue between the cleft, he tasted the saltiness of the sweat and smiled at Daniel's reaction. It excited him even further as he moved his tongue even lower and found Daniel's sphincter muscle. The tip of his tongue teased around the opening, then plunged inside him, stroking, sliding, swirling.
"OH DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN!" Daniel cried out, gasping uncontrollably.
"Daniel, what?" Jason panted as felt Daniel's cock throb inside him.
"His tongue, Jace, OH GOD!" and he gasped continuously as the double pleasure sensations sent waves of pleasure through him. He felt a sudden coolness, both from the lack of Jack's tongue and the application of lube, then cried out with Jason as Jack impaled him with his cock in one smooth stroke, pushing deep and hard.
"Fuck yes!" Daniel's hand reached around and grabbed Jack's hip, clamping his long fingers into the flesh as Jack held himself still for a few moments while Daniel adjusted to him.
Jack lost himself in the feel of his gorgeous lover, closing his eyes and pushing deep. Daniel pushed back, demanding that Jack move so move he did. He began to piston, forcing Daniel to do the same into Jason and watched as Daniel bit his lips closed through the double stimulation. Suddenly Jack thrust harder and at the high moan from Daniel's throat, did it again...and again...and again.
"Oh God, yes, Jack. Fuck me hard."
They were long, hard strokes, deep and divine. He kept it going and going, and suddenly slammed even harder, making Daniel gasp out short cries of lust, begging to get off.
"You feel so good, Daniel. Gonna give it to you...now!" and as his words suggested, Jack slammed into him, hard and fast.
Jason gasped as Daniel rammed into him in reaction to Jack and braced himself, leaning forward and clutching the sheets in his fists. He looked over his shoulder and growled. "Fuck him harder, Jack. Make me feel it!"
"Oh yeah!" Jack whispered, and between this thrusts and Jason's braced body in front of Daniel, they both gave it to him.
"Oh...God!" Daniel cried and leaned forward, biting down on Jason's back, gasping out muffled high-pitched cries. He knew he was going to come now and there was nothing..."JACK!" he howled in surprise as his orgasm drove through him like a bolt of lightning. Jason followed him with a short dry climax as Daniel's semen hit his prostate. They both gasped and panted as Jack continued to piston rapidly into Daniel's tremorous body.
Jack finally let go, unable to hold back any longer. "YES!" and he bit down on his bottom lip, unable to keep himself from pumping and driving. The small cries that came from his lovers only strengthened the intensity of his orgasm, and he held on, giving a sharp thrust in reaction to every hard spasm that passed through his groin.
Finally, their collective spasms subsided and each held onto the other, with Jason's hands remaining locked on Daniel's thigh. Daniel slipped an arm around Jason's waist, just as Jack slipped his over Daniel's chest.
"That was your second birthday present, Daniel," Jack whispered.
"Second?" Daniel asked softly.
"Didn't you say you had three?" Jason murmured his question to Jack, his voice low, sleepy.
"I did," Jack said, breathless.
"I can't wait to see what the third one is," Daniel whispered, leaning his head back to capture Jack's lips with his. Jack's cock slipped out of him, making Daniel groan and break the kiss.
Jack sighed, happily content and sated. "You'll get it soon enough, Daniel. Soon. Gimme a chance to recover first."
"Are you talking about sex or my present?"
"Maybe both."
Daniel laughed. "Like what?"
Jack hugged him tightly. "How about a little bit of...candle wax and frosting?"
Jason groaned at the plan and Daniel rubbed his nose in Jason's hair. "You like that idea?" Daniel asked.
"Definitely," Jason said sleepily. "Thinking of ties that bind, too."
Daniel moaned as a wide smile spread over his face. "I love you two, you know that?"
"I know. Backatcha," Jack replied.
"What he said," Jason added as he arched his head back and brought Daniel's mouth to his for a long, lazy kiss.
Daniel abruptly ended their kiss with a laugh. "Jack!"
"What?" he asked innocently as he took a swipe of Daniel's ass with the towel.
"Asshole," he growled as he jerked at the lightly rough motion. It caused him to slip out of Jason, making his lover groan.
"Got one. I plan on having it used soon, providing you're up for it."
Jason grabbed the pillow in front of him and hit Jack in the head with it.
"Hey!" Jack protested, but smiled secretively as the pillow hid his face.
