Tsk, tsk, Jack, all you need is to ask. :) Ah, right, I can hear him, "An' where's the fun in that?"

Well, of course that would work for you or me. ;-) Elizabeth, though, can be a bit contrary, at times (which I'm sure Jack knows, and has found myriad ways around)!

Ah, right, I can hear him, "An' where's the fun in that?"

Absolutely! Half the fun of the game is in the chase; it make the victory so much sweeter (and infinitely more satisfying, as I'm sure both he and Lizzie will agree)! ;-)

Thank you so much for reading, and taking the time to Comment! Much appreciated, I assure you! :-)

Cheating has never been a more desirable personality trait ;D

"Desirable" being the operative word (particularly as it applies to Jack, as Lizzie no doubt has discovered). ;-)

Wonderful drabble! I loved it!

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed this little J/E interlude! :-)

Aw! This is kind of cute, in a way, but it begs the question: were the stakes the same if Elizabeth had won?

"I do believe...I win!"--This is a fine example of the pauses meaning just as much as the words in a sentence. It's that little "..." that makes me hear Jack's voice and that self-satisfaction that would be present. "And now I rightfully claim the agreed-upon forfeit..."--Hee hee. You have Jack's voice down.

Watch your timing, Elizabeth, because it sounded dangerously close to accusing Jack of somehow being a cheat at sex, which is where I'm sure he always brings his A-game and is a champion deserving of being on a Wheaties box.

"Inscrutable grin segued into a hot, sweet kiss."--It just makes me grin!

I'd guess they'd be somewhat along the same lines, but perhaps a bit less "adventurous" on Elizabeth's part than Jack would prefer. No doubt, given Jack's broad experience in certain areas, Jack's demand would have been considerably more imaginative than Lizzie's...

Ah, yes... Jack is the master of the pregnant pause, isn't he, and deploys it to great effect.

"And now I rightfully claim the agreed-upon forfeit..."--Hee hee. You have Jack's voice down.

Thank you! I'm so glad you think so! :-)

Lovely drabble! And so nice to hear from you again, Cat.

Lovely drabble!

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

And so nice to hear from you again, Cat.

Nice to be able to write again, even if it's only the occasional drabble. Real Life has been throwing me too many curveballs lately, and it seems my Muse has decided to steer clear until things settle down a bit. Hopefully, that will be soon!

Thank you again for reading, and taking the time to Comment! Always appreciated, I assure you!
