I love it when he cheats :-)

Who needs birthday cake when you have sweet, delicious Sparrabeth like this? Thank you so, so much for the lovely birthday wishes and such excellent prompt usage. Of course she doesn't have any complaints ♥

Oh! And thank you so much for the cupcake! I get to read my cake and virtually eat it, too *g*

And he does it so well! (Pirate!) ;-)

Awww... thanks! (And Sparrabeth is so-o-o darned satisfying, and much less fattening, isn't it? One doesn't have to worry about an occasional indulgence in Sparrabeth going right to one's hips, eh?) ;-)

(That said, though ... I must confess that I've never said "no" to a nice, big slice of non-virtual b-day cake, either!) :-D

Thank you so, so much for the lovely birthday wishes and such excellent prompt usage.

I'm so happy you enjoyed the "gift". Heaven knows, it's the least I could do, for all the hours of enjoyment I've had reading your own J/E fics!

Of course she doesn't have any complaints ♥Well, honestly ... would YOU, if you were in Elizabeth's place? (And don't we all wish we WERE

[luvvycat]

Hahah, when will she ever learn it?

Yes, one would think Elizabeth would know better that Jack will ALWAYS cheat, if it means getting something he truly wants! (But then, knowing the "forfeit" Jack would exact, maybe she was actually hoping she'd lose!) ;-)

That was a great story, I love it!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :-)

Naughty, naughty Jack! Great little drabble!

[luvvycat]

Naughty, naughty Jack!

IMO, Jack is at his best when he's being naughty! (I'm sure Elizabeth would agree, too, in this case!) ;-)

Great little drabble!

I'm glad you think so! Thank you so much for reading, and Commenting! :-)

Caught quite nicely I would say and what a delight for the both of them that they were. Sounds just like something Jack would come up with tp baffle Lizzie. Lord love a duck, the boy had too much time on his hands if he has become so adept at cheating sleight of hand kind of card playing lol.

There's all kinds of ways to win at cards and Jack seems to have discovered one that suits his needs at every turn. Such a stinker that one and yet, don't know of anyone who'd kick him out of bed once there! Love your tale, love the lightness and playfulness that shines in his sparkling dark eyes and the darlin' pout he'd posture if questioned too sharply. He hates getting openly caught/confronted doesn't he? Thank you so much for the treat. I love pets, getting hugged/touched and this was such a sweet one! Pickle, youngest grey tabby it/girl sat right here in my lap and read it with me, offering her loudest sweetest purr at the end.

Absolutely! I believe, in this case, by Elizabeth losing, they BOTH won! ;-)

Of course! Jack's a master at manipulating a situation to get what he wants, and this is no different. (And, given what he hoped to gain, I would wager he took especial care to make sure the deck was stacked in his favour, and he ended up with the winning hand!) ;-)

Well, I certainly wouldn't ... would you? ;-D

Just love this, as you no doubt knew I would. ;) Many thanks for the birthday wishes, and the "hot, sweet" giftie -- the ficlet and the virtual chocolate cupcake! So kind of you!

Well, let's just say I had a pretty good idea that you would! ;-D

Many thanks for the birthday wishes, and the "hot, sweet" giftie -- the ficlet and the virtual chocolate cupcake!

You're very welcome! So glad you enjoyed both (but, if I had my druthers, I'd definitely take a hot, sweet interlude with Jack over a cupcake any old day!) ;-)

So kind of you!

Believe me, it's no more than you deserve, for writing all the wonderful fics I've enjoyed so much!

Hope you had a simply fabulous birthday! :-)
