“Jack asked me out on a date,” Ianto said when Owen opened the door.

“What did you tell him?” Owen said still standing in the doorway.

“I said yes,” Ianto admitted looking at his shoes.

“And then you came here.” Owen’s voice was cold.

“I needed to,” Ianto said. “I almost went back to the Hub and warned my earlier self. I’m sorry Owen, I just reacted on instinct.”

“Where’s Jack now?”

“Wandering the city, getting reacquainted with things. May I come in please sir?” Ianto hadn’t looked up but he could feel the strength of Owen’s gaze.

Owen didn’t answer but he stepped back to allow Ianto entry. Ianto stripped off and folded his clothes neatly to leave on the chair left there for the purpose. He dropped to his hands and knees and followed Owen into the living room able to ignore the exposing windows as Owen required.

Owen sat down on the sofa and Ianto crawled close enough to rest his forehead against Owen’s knee. Owen let him hold position for a few moments so he could centre himself in Owen’s scent, inhaling the washing powder he’d chosen because it was gentle against Owen’s skin and the underlying smell of the morgue that never left.

“Look at me,” Owen said. Ianto lifted his head. “Why did you come here rather than stay with Jack?”

“Jack is Jack,” Ianto said, “but you’re my Dom.”

It had been hard when Jack had disappeared. They had all thrown themselves into work to ignore the huge Jack shaped hole in the Hub but Ianto had begun to neglect himself. Nobody had noticed until he collapsed during a chase. Once Owen had established there was no injury he’d dragged Ianto back to the Hub and done a full physical revealing the extent of Ianto’s self neglect.

Owen had threatened tube feeding and extra large needles but it had taken a barked order to get Ianto to obey. From then each day Owen would order Ianto to eat, to sit and to rest until his health improved. The day Owen didn’t make it an order Ianto neglected to eat, sit and rest and yelled at Owen when confronted. Owen’s growl of displeasure made him step back and drop his head.

Owen had stopped and then told him to follow leaving Gwen and Tosh to monitor the Rift. They went to a nearby café and Owen forced sweet tea and a bacon sandwich on him.

It had taken a lot more than tea and sandwiches to get to where they were. Owen had never been a dom but he learnt quickly with Ianto's input.

“Do you still want Jack?” Owen asked.

“Yes.” Ianto would never think to lie to Owen. It had taken months for the trust to build but once they had broken through the jealousy and mistrust Ianto had accepted that Owen would be a good Dom.

Owen always gave his lovers what they needed and Ianto had needed an anchor, someone to let him get the job done when his brain just wouldn’t stop. Owen was pretty sure Ianto would have approached Jack for the role if things hadn’t gone so terribly wrong.

But now Owen was responsible for Ianto and somehow Ianto’s happiness had become as important to Owen as his own. Owen unzipped his pants and pulled his cock out.

“Open,” he said and Ianto lips obediently parted. “Don’t suck.”

Owen placed the head of his cock on Ianto’s tongue and let it rest there as Ianto’s lips closed around it. He would rest it there until the wet heat of Ianto’s mouth encouraged it to harden. The familiarity of the act would ground Ianto while Owen thought about what they were going to do. Then he would grab Ianto’s hair and fuck in and out without letting Ianto move until he shot his load across Ianto’s tongue and face so that Ianto would sleep with his scent mark.

The next morning after Ianto had made breakfast and was kneeling at Owen’s feet waiting to be fed Owen revealed his decision.

“If you want to date Jack you can but if he wants to have sex with you then you will say no and tell him to ask me for permission first. We’ll see how he responds to that first,” Owen said dropping a corner of toast into Ianto’s mouth.

Ianto chewed carefully and then swallowed before nodding in agreement. Owen continued to feed Ianto until he was satisfied and then allowed Ianto to suck him to completion.

Two days later Ianto knelt in front of Owen and asked for his cage and plug.

“You’re going to go out with Jack?” Owen asked calmly and Ianto nodded. “Tell me why you don’t trust yourself.”

“I want Jack to know that I belong to you,” Ianto said, “he can be very persuasive and quick off the mark. It will stop him long enough for me to explain.”

“Ianto…” Owen’s voice was soft but implacable.

“I’ve never been able to say no to Jack,” Ianto admitted, “I’m afraid I won’t tell him no fast enough.”

“Go and fetch them and the black paddle,” Owen said and Ianto quickly crawled off.

Owen fitted the cock cage first before Ianto could get hard then slicked up the butt plug with Ianto’s saliva. He liked to take it slow with the plug, watch it spread Ianto’s hole wide and then slide home. This time when it was seated he kept Ianto in position and picked up the paddle.

“I want you to feel this through the whole date,” he said, “especially if Jack gets persuasive.”

Ianto spread his knees and lifted his arse as Owen laid down a staccato of blows until his cheeks were glowing red and his cock was desperately trying to get hard. When Owen stopped Ianto shuffled around and kissed Owen’s fingers. He put on the suit Owen had picked out for the date frowning slightly when there was no waistcoat but accepting Owen’s choices as he always did.

“I’ll see you later tonight,” he said and Owen nodded. Whatever happened Ianto would be back to sleep at the foot of Owen’s bed, it was the only place he didn’t have nightmares.

At ten o’clock Ianto was back with a wry smile on his face and Jack in tow.

“You lasted longer than I expected,” Owen said as Ianto knelt before him.

“Jack was being the perfect gentleman,” Ianto said resting his forehead against Owen’s knee.

Jack leant against the doorframe and watched with a quizzical look on his face.

“Yes Jack?” Owen asked when Ianto was comfortable.

“Things have changed since I left,” Jack said mildly.

“Yes they have,” Owen said not letting his temper rise. Gwen had done the yelling for them all and it had no place in the discussion.

“How is this going to work?” Jack said.

“I’m Ianto’s Dom,” Owen said, “I’m not giving that up. If Ianto wants to date you, if you want to fuck him that’s fine just ask first, but he comes home to me.”

“You wouldn’t mind?” Jack looked surprised.

“If I wanted a boyfriend I’d have one,” Owen said, “the real question is whether you would mind.”

Jack’s eyes were bright with the possibilities. Ianto kept his head resting against Owen’s knee apparently not caring what was being decided above him. Owen’s fingers were absently carding through Ianto’s hair and Jack realised that he’d never seen either man so contented.

“I’m not sure about the boyfriend label but dating sounds nice,” Jack admitted.

“Then date and fuck if you both want to, hell I’ll even let him fuck you if that’s what rocks your boat. But it’s my role to discipline him and you will not question my decisions understood?”

“Do you really think you can handle it?” Jack said seriously.

“If I can’t cope with it then I’ll release him,” Owen added and now Ianto did react, a small gasp of dismay escaping.

“I think for Ianto’s sake we’ll do our best to make it work,” Jack said with a smile.

“Do you want to fuck him now?” Owen said.

Jack shook his head. “I’d like him to not be in a cage for our next date and I’ll bring him home to you after. Although I wouldn’t mind seeing what my hands so inconveniently found earlier.” He smiled lazily.

“Strip Ianto,” Owen said in agreement.

Ianto stood and quickly stripped naked folding his clothes neatly and laying them in a pile on a chair. He stood still as Jack circled him and admired the view.

“May I?” Jack gestured to the cock cage. Owen nodded and Jack lifted the Perspex cage examining how it restrained Ianto but allowed other functions to occur. He reached around and touched the end of the plug and Ianto automatically bent over to give him a better view.

“You’ve trained him well,” Jack said with reluctant approval.

“Didn’t really need to,” Owen said, “but he suits my needs.”

“And you suit his,” Jack said with clarity. “Most don’t get that. I’m glad that you found a way to cope, both of you.” He drew Ianto back down to kneel at Owen’s feet. “May I take Ianto out on a date on Wednesday?” he added in a much lighter tone.

“Sure,” Owen said, “but have him back by ten, I’m stretching his balls and I’m not changing my schedule to suit you Harkness.”

“May I stay and watch?” Jack said his interest definitely peaked.

“Maybe,” Owen said, “I don’t think Ianto would mind.”

And that was that. Owen’s job as Ianto’s Dom was to take care of his needs and Ianto needed Jack as much as he needed Owen. Somehow they would make it work otherwise they’d all fall apart.
