Summary: Ianto sometimes doesn't appreciate how lucky he is.

'Ianto, put the damn book down so I can kiss you,' Jack demanded, clearly tired of Ianto's attempts to finish the chapter before bed.

'I don't think I'm really in the mood,' he replied.

'Sure you are,' Jack insisted, tugging the book from his hands whether he was done or not. 'You just don't know it yet.'

'Just because we can every night, doesn't mean we have to.'

Jack pouted at him. 'What's the point in being married if I can't indulge in making love to you every single night?'

Ianto did nothing to encourage Jack's hands as they began trying to work at his pajamas, but neither did he stop Jack. 'Most people can't match your libido. Even me. Even married.'

'Oh? Well, maybe indulging in a passionate ex-marital affair would heighten your desire for me. I know I'd get all hot under the collar thinking about you making love to someone else.'

Ianto snorted at the suggestion. 'You'd only want to join in.'

'Maybe I would. Maybe I'd like watching you get teased, hearing you moan and beg for more.' Jack arched a lascivious eyebrow at him. 'I could make some suggestions. Tell them all the ways you love to be touched.'

Whether he could bring himself to admit it or not, Ianto could picture perfectly in his mind the sort of scenario Jack was describing and why Jack would enjoy it so much. He might tease Ianto constantly about threesomes but he'd never forced the issue. Ianto couldn't help but think Jack would leap at the opportunity if Ianto would only just agree to it.

On the other hand, he could also picture perfectly how insanely jealous Jack could get when someone who wasn't on the approved list decided that Ianto was worth a casual flirt, or even something more. It was gratifying to know Jack would get all hot under the collar in the wrong way if anyone thought they could muscle in on his turf. Ianto was very strictly his to be shared only how and when it suited Jack.

More surprisingly, Ianto didn't mind that one bit. Knowing Jack wanted him that much made him feel funny, but in a good way. It also made it far less embarrassing to admit Jack was the center of his own universe, and that he'd never deny Jack anything. Whilst he let Jack flirt as much as he liked, he'd also deck anyone that decided to get between them. Jack wasn't the only one cornering the market on possessiveness. He didn't know whether he would enjoy having someone else there with them, trying to pretend he was enjoying an added sexual partner. Love had to have something to do with it, or he'd have to be really drunk. Perhaps best not to mention that to Jack.

Jack tugged his waistband lower. 'Is that a yes or an I'll think about it?'

Ianto sighed. 'Just shut up and make love to me so I don't need anyone else.'
