Warnings: Explicit het! Implicitly slashy thoughts!
Characters: Stephen (Diana/Jack)
Rum: This definitely doesn't fit the challenge. I therefore vote for rum all around.
Comments: Sequel to
"Pastoral" (read that first, it's right down the page). Mostly the fault of
fuschia, no thanks to several others of you. *g*
Once he calms down sufficiently to recognize the true source of his unhappiness, Stephen must admit that his present situation offers certain advantages.
He knows when Jack plans to return, leaving his mark on her.
He knows that, for all Jack's passion, a seaman does not have the subtle hands of a physician; Stephen's can convince Diana to open her door to him no matter how soon after Jack he arrives.
And he knows how to use his intimate knowledge of anatomy for their mutual pleasure -- the touch she seeks, the taste he craves -- with dear Jack none the wiser.
