Dawn was on its way to breaking when I heard the doors. I didn't look up; consumed in my piano as my heart was breaking. The keys provide brief solace. Balloons and confetti lay all around the dance floor, discarded and sedentary.

"Hey."

"I thought you left the New Years party with the Doctor."

"I did. I piled him into a cab and sent him home with his girl."

I continue to play. "I thought he was the one you wanted."

Jack lights a cigarette and puffs away from my face as he sits, back facing the keys. "So did I. Sure, the man was captivating. But, in the end, what could he give me?"

"Adventure? Romance? All the things you've wanted."

"But he could never love me."

"I thought that didn't matter to you."

"Funny, so did I. But maybe, just maybe, there's more to life than adventure. Or maybe I'm missing the greatest adventure of them all."

"You're speaking in riddles, Jack Harkness."

"I love how you play Ianto. So clever and gentle; bending the keys to your will."

"You flatter me Jack."

"I'd like to do more than just flatter you."

I continue to play, but look into his eyes. "Prove it."

Jack gets up and begins to walk out. He gets halfway across the floor before he turns back. "How can you prove what you feel?"

I shrug and continue to play. Jack grabs a chair and the proceeds to climb up on the piano.

"What do you think you are doing?"

"Just play for me, Ianto." He stretches out, legs perched with his face maybe inches from mine. The piano player keeps going, but Jack begins to sing.

Sooner or later you're gonna be mine

Sooner or later you're gonna be fine

Baby, it's time that you face it

I always get my man

Jack flings my hat across the dance floor and strokes my face. I don't miss the beat, but sigh when the electricity from his fingertips meets my jaw line.

Sooner or later you're gonna decide

Sooner or later there's nowhere to hide

Baby, it's time so why waste it in chatter

Let's settle the matter

I'm yours on platter you know that

I always get my man.

Jack reaches into my breast-pocket and fishes out my silver pocket watch. He runs it down the length of his arm, puts it back and then leans backwards on the piano, almost standing.

But if you insist babe, the challenge delights me

The more you resist babe

The more it excites me

And no one I've kissed

Ever fights me again

His fingers reach for my lips and they touch briefly as he hovers over me. Outside the window, weak rays of the sun break through.

I'm gonna love you like nothing you've known

I'm gonna love you and love you alone

Sooner is better than later but lover

I'll hover, I'll plan

Jack brings his foot down and begins to shut the piano case before he slides down in front of me.

This time I'm not only getting

I'm holding my man.

We kiss as I slide down onto his lap. I can feel his hands around my waist, charging me forward like thunder. Jack, he whispers briefly as I bring my hands up and start to undo my buttons.

Ianto rushes forward and begins to nibble on my chest. I lean my head back and feel the intensity, the quickness of his heat.

His skin tastes like liquid honey as I reach lower and lower until I've undone his zipper. He is huge, but the challenge delights me. He wrestles to control himself as my lips take his mast in and he leans back against the piano, shirt half hanging on and half off.

"It's not fair for you to have so many clothes on." I feel myself being lifted as he races across the floor holding me and we tumble into the coat closet. I can feel him pressing into me, nuzzling and jutting forth with his member as we press against forgotten tuxedo jackets.

I bend so that he can enter and I feel him inside me, hovering close to the brink of madness. His pace and vigor are so well-contained and he begins to speed up ever so slightly, still at a maddening pace. Ianto Jones groans as he cums inside of me for the first time and lays against me, spent, the first day of the new year.
