May. 25th, 2017 10:01 pmIt has been most of a month now since Jack came to Gondor's shores, a good two weeks since Faramir returned to Ithilien. Éowyn has meant, every day, to tell him the truth; every day, she has shied away from it. It isn't out of fear for her own sake, or Jack's, but when she comes to speak to Faramir, sees the familiar lines of his face and the gentle look in his eyes, she can't bring herself to hurt him that way. She keeps telling herself the time will come, must come, that she isn't avoiding it but only waiting. Deep down, though, she knows full well there's never going to be a right time, that she'll never tell him if things go on this way, and perhaps Jack was right, perhaps that's for the best. She's kept away from Jack for the most part, giving his care over to one of the serving-men of the household, and she's certainly never repeated the mistake of that first morning back in Ithilien. Faramir knows something is wrong, she can tell that much, but perhaps if she just lets it lie, tries to get back to normal...
It would be easier if everything else went back to normal around her. But it doesn't. It takes her a few days to be sure, to count off the days and know she isn't just being paranoid, that she really ought to have bled by now. She keeps hoping for a day or so after that, but when she comes back from her afternoon ride, strips down to change into a dress, and finds her underthings still clean, hope shrivels to despair.
Faramir is out, luckily. Éowyn dresses as quickly as she can, and tries to steady herself, to wipe away the tears that haven't quite spilled over, before taking a deep breath and heading out into the hallway. Jack's guard is outside his room, and looks at her with clear concern, but when she dismisses him, he goes without argument.
She locks the door behind her, not lingering in the doorway this time but crossing right over to Jack and grabbing his arm. The tears are threatening again, and there's a light in her eyes that isn't remotely one of happiness. "Jack. Listen to me."

"Could be." He finally moves to sink into the chair nearest to her, sprawled onto it with an elbow propped on the chair's arm. "Wasn't at all how I expected that to turn out." He grazes a finger against the line of his jaw, then eventually gives her a sidelong glance. "Are you all right?"
no subject
Date: 2017-07-04 02:41 pm (UTC)Sighing, she rakes both hands back through her hair, pushing it out of her face, and then wipes her eyes. There's no sense, she tells herself, in wishing for wrath. She doesn't want Faramir to be angry with her, after all. She loves him. But because she loves him, this frightens her - his acceptance of her betrayal, his forgiveness of her, when she fears he will not forgive himself. He has taken on the burden of what she and Jack have done, and taken it calmly and without fighting, and it unnerves her to think what that says of him. Or of her, that she let him.
She sighs again, biting her lip. "I do not think he means to make it harder," she says after a moment, slowly, "but I do not think I can come to you again, either. I owe him better than to have him feel replaced, to lock him out of that part of my life which most should be shared with husband and wife. Yet what choice is there, if we go on? He can hardly be a part of it." It's wistful, and there's something questioning in it, too, as if she's feeling out her position without knowing she's doing it: Can he?
no subject
Date: 2017-07-05 09:15 am (UTC)Jack doesn't seem much surprised by what she says next, nodding. "If that's what you'd like to do, luv." He'd had a feeling she'd react that way, was ready to accept that as a possibility as well. But still, Jack pauses and studies her face for a few moments, mulling over his next words. "With that said, if you chose otherwise and we were to continue on," his hand moves with a small gesture, "He wouldn't have to be locked out of it, eh?"
no subject
Date: 2017-07-06 05:02 pm (UTC)It's just that, to the best of her knowledge, sex is typically between two people. Typically a man and a woman, although if nothing else, her time in Panem has shown her that isn't a given.
"Have you done such a thing before?" she asks, picking at a loose thread on the hem of her bodice.
no subject
Date: 2017-07-07 07:27 am (UTC)" -- Anyhow, aye. With women, more times than with men involved. But I've done it." His preferences have always leaned heavily towards women in that regard, but that doesn't mean Jack hasn't indulged in his curiosity once in awhile -- especially when drunk and visiting brothels with a crewmate after a long voyage.
"There's plenty o' ways for him to be a part, so to speak. Certain positions. Depends on how creative you'd like to be."
no subject
Date: 2017-07-07 11:21 pm (UTC)Is it right? Is it right to push Faramir further into this mess she's created? To draw all of them deeper? She has a sense that the right, noble thing to do would be to pull away, as she said just a moment ago, to appreciate Faramir's generosity in the matter and let it be an end to things. She should take control of herself, of her wants and desires, and not touch Jack, but focus on her marriage. On her duty.
But she isn't sure she can. She thinks, perhaps, this might not be honourable, but it is more so than taking Faramir's gift of forgiveness without a second thought for him.
"I shall bring him here," she decides aloud. "If he wishes it. Tonight."
no subject
Date: 2017-07-08 09:24 am (UTC)When she finally does answer, a small smile tugs at the corner of his mouth. "All right. Tonight, then. If he wishes."
no subject
Date: 2017-07-08 10:59 pm (UTC)"This is my doing," she says, quietly. "It was I who brought you here, I who began our dalliance, I whose carelessness brought us to this pass. And I would have you know... I am sorry. Whatever should come of it. You are dear to me, after all that we have seen and done, and I risked bringing much down on you." Now she does stand, crossing the space between them and kissing him - not passionately on the mouth, but chastely on the cheek, a kiss between friends rather than lovers. "I am sorry for it. But I... I can no longer be sorry you are here."
She looks, for a moment, as though she might say more. Then she straightens up abruptly, tucking her hair back into place, and clears her throat. "Tonight," she says again, smoothing her skirts and turning away. "After sunset. If we come not then, do not watch for my return to your bed - I fear I shall come not at all."
no subject
Date: 2017-07-09 04:36 am (UTC)He hesitates, looking like he may leave his answer at that, then adds, "An' ... I am sorry, as well," he waves a hand, as if it'll help the rest of the words come out, "For me part in it. An' the way it's turned out." Even if Jack doesn't really regret laying with her -- in Panem and here -- while being aware that she's married, seeing the pain it's caused her in the meanwhile has caused him to feel some guilt. And getting her with child hasn't made him feel much better about it.
"Nevertheless, I am glad to be here." She's the only other person that understands what they've been through. And if nothing else, no matter how this shakes out, Jack is thankful for that. He settles back fully into his chair, looking to her, and a smile makes its way back onto his face. "Understood, darlin'. I'll be here."
no subject
Date: 2017-07-09 03:28 pm (UTC)She shakes off the thought, clearing her throat. "I will have them bring stronger wine. After all of this, I doubt not you shall want it."
And then she's gone, sweeping out into the corridor, the door locking behind her. True to her word, when his dinner is brought to him a half-hour or so later, it comes with a largish flagon of some dark liquid nearer to brandy than wine. After that, he is left alone. Around sunset, the door does open again, but it is only the serving-woman again, come to clear up his dinner things and light the fire.
It's another hour at least, full darkness now settling over the woods outside, before Éowyn comes to him, leading Faramir by the hand. The guard at the door is dismissed wordlessly, and this time when the door is locked, it is from the inside, Éowyn setting the key down nearby. The message is clear, she hopes: this is not a visit of jailers to their charge, but one of equals, if only for a time.
For a moment, both of them hesitate, as if uncertain how to proceed. Again, it is Éowyn who takes the lead, greeting Jack with a nod and guiding her husband to sit at the end of the bed. She leans in, pressing a long, deep kiss to his mouth, trying not to be embarrassed that they are not alone, and is relieved to find that he kisses back with barely any hesitation, even if his gaze flicks to Jack when she pulls away, his cheeks darkening.
"I put my trust in you," she tells Jack, turning to him. She is simply dressed, her long hair loose around her shoulders, and she looks nervous, but there's that familiar determination in the set of her jaw. "You know better than us what is to be done. So. Guide us."
no subject
Date: 2017-07-10 09:57 am (UTC)His gaze slips up to them as the door is shut, watching as she sets the key aside then leads Faramir over to the bed. He'd been uncertain as to whether or not she'd actually come tonight; even if Eowyn had shown interest in the idea, Faramir might've not been as keen on it. He's pleased, then, to see that they're here.
Once she addresses him, Jack kicks his feet off from the table he's seated at, sliding to stand with a glass of the brandy in hand and a smile curling at his mouth. "O' course." It's not hard to sense the nervousness in the air between them, but that's to be expected. He moves to where Faramir is at first, pressing the glass into the man's hand. "Helps soothe the nerves, if you find need of it."
Then Jack smoothly maneuvers to Eowyn, palms coming to rest onto her hips so that he can steer her to face Faramir. Once that's done, his hand rises to gather her hair and pull it over one shoulder, and his lips press warm to the exposed curve of her neck. Jack lifts his head a little, then, leaning to murmur into her ear, "Undress him."
no subject
Date: 2017-07-10 10:53 pm (UTC)Faramir sets his glass aside without drinking, and his hand traces the side of her neck where Jack kissed. He answers in the same tongue, eyes meeting hers, his tone firmer than hers. But he smiles as he says it, so it probably isn't anything too bad. As Éowyn starts to unlace his jerkin and then his shirt, slow and unhurried, Faramir turns his attention to the pirate. For a moment, he just regards Jack, with something between suspicion and concern and thoughtfulness, and then he beckons him closer.
"You would not have me be the only one so bared?" There's a hint of something like humour in his tone, albeit taut and dry.
He helps Éowyn by pulling his shirt off over his head, looking back down at her as she leans in, hands resting on his lithe brown chest, to kiss the scar at the base of his ribs. There's an air of ritual to it, of familiarity. Faramir smiles, touching her shoulder, and looks back up at Jack with one eyebrow raised.
no subject
Date: 2017-07-11 09:24 am (UTC)His fingers come to ghost over Faramir's bicep, and he's briefly reminded how much rougher a man's skin is to a woman's softer touch. Then that same hand trails a path downward, to touch across Faramir's forearm and gently draw the other man's hand to the buttons on Jack's breeches. He shifts to lean back just a little, angling his hips to give easier access.
"If you kindly would." He's taking a slower approach for time being, gauging Faramir's mood and response in the meanwhile. He'd gotten the sense that this may be quite new territory for him, and didn't want to overwhelm him too quickly -- particularly after the looks Faramir had just given him.
Then his gaze shifts to Eowyn, and once she's undone Faramir's trousers, Jack indicates with a gesture for her to join them.
no subject
Date: 2017-07-12 11:02 pm (UTC)Éowyn rises from her knees in front of him, folding his trousers over one arm to set them aside, and ghosts her hand against his thigh, and Faramir does his best to focus on this moment, this act. Clearing his throat, he unfastens the last button and helps Jack off with his breeches, mimicking Éowyn in folding them neatly before he puts them aside.
For her part, Éowyn smooths her skirt and sits down on Faramir's other side, determined to make him the centre of things. Her free hand rests on his leg, fingertips tracing lightly over the lighter skin of his inner thigh. As she reaches up to unfasten her own dress, though, it's Jack she looks to for guidance in the next step.
no subject
Date: 2017-07-13 09:28 am (UTC)Jack shifts his weight on the bed, aiding him in sliding off his breeches. It's intriguing, the way the two both neatly fold and set aside the clothing; he's always been more used to stripping clothes off and heedlessly casting it all aside to get down to business.
He catches the look that Eowyn gives him, the flutter of her hand to her dress, and answers it with a low, heavy voice, "Take it off. Then I want you to kiss him." The hope is to keep Faramir's focus on Eowyn for the moment, perhaps even loosen him up a little -- particularly as Jack leans a tad closer to him and palms a hand onto the hard, muscled plane of his thigh.
"If you'd rather all the attention come from your lovely wife, we can have it done that way. I can busy meself in other ways. If not ... " His hand massages on his thigh, drifting gradually upward.
no subject
Date: 2017-07-15 10:29 pm (UTC)For his part, Faramir considers what Jack says, gravely and seriously. His eyes flick from Jack's hand on his thigh, up to Éowyn's face. This is further out of his comfort zone than it is for either Jack or Éowyn - truth be told, he is not a man much driven by desire, and until tonight, Éowyn has been the only person he has ever lain with. Nor is he much prone to impulsiveness or wildness, though he is no coward.
At last, he clears his throat, and shakes his head. Éowyn sits back down beside him, but doesn't kiss him - not just yet, not when she can see he has something to say.
"I am not, I think, a man prone to such pleasures," he says at length, and frowns. "Not for my own sake, at any rate. Yet I would know what draws Éowyn to you, and I will not turn from her suggestion." He clears his throat, his hand shifting deliberately to echo Jack's, resting on the pirate's thigh. "If we are to do this, let us do it to the full. Do what you will, with me as with her."
Éowyn makes a little sound that might be a laugh, and leans over to kiss Faramir long and deep. It isn't that she's amused by what he's saying, so much as that she's amused (and touched) by how characteristically him it is to speak that way, at a time like this.
As she kisses him, she reaches up to guide his free hand onto her breast, holding it there as she pulls away, slow and lingering, her eyes holding his. Then she kisses him again, brief and almost chaste, before beckoning Jack to lean in so she can kiss him too.
no subject
Date: 2017-07-18 05:53 am (UTC)He's pleasantly surprised by Faramir's assent; he'd sensed the man's hesitance and had anticipated him wanting to limit his involvement because of it. And while the pirate didn't want to push him beyond what he's comfortable with, he's also quite keen on fully including Faramir in this.
Jack leans in to meet Eowyn's kiss, lips pressing to hers, mouth parting slightly. His free hand caresses against her neck as well, fingers burying into her hair and greedily drawing her into him. His other hand strays further up on Faramir's thigh at the same time, the touch light and warm. Then Jack slides his palm over, fingers finally coming to gently rub over Faramir's cock.
He momentarily breaks the kiss with Eowyn, breath hitched in his throat. Anticipation, mixed with a heady dose of desire, already has his blood running hot and heart thrumming in his chest. He angles his head towards Faramir, voice thicker this time. "Now put your hand on me," His own hand continues to stroke at a slow pace over Faramir's cock, "Like this."
no subject
Date: 2017-07-19 12:31 am (UTC)His own cock, in any case, stirs under Jack's hand, both from Eowyn's kiss and from the contact. Eowyn's warm body crosses between the two men, her belly pressing lightly against the top of Jack's hand, one hand supporting her between them. She licks her lips as Jack pulls away from the kiss, and looks back at Faramir. His hand shifts on her breast, teasing gently at the nipple, and it draws a moan out of her - one which she plays up just a little, for both men's sake.
Leaning in again, she kisses Jack again, but more briefly and less deeply, wary of spending more time, more contact, with him than her husband. To her mind, if ever there was a time to be conscious of his pleasure and his want, it is this time and this coupling. That's why she's the one to pull away from the kiss this time, to turn her attention back to Faramir, kissing down the side of his neck even as her hand comes down to rest on Jack's thigh, massaging beside Faramir's.

Date: 2017-07-19 08:37 am (UTC)In the meanwhile, Eowyn's moan, coupled with her kiss and the stroke of Faramir's hand, is eliciting its own reaction in him. He can feel the building warmth in his belly pooling downward to his groin, the muscles in his thigh twitching under Eowyn's hand, cock growing harder in Faramir's palm. A groan fights its way to his lips, coming out low and muffled. It's been awhile since Jack has lain with two people at once, and he's quickly remembering why it's one of his favorite things to do.
As Eowyn pulls away to give attention to Faramir, the pirate slides his free hand to cup her breast. His palm kneads against soft skin, then he lightly grazes his fingertips over and around her nipple.
no subject
Date: 2017-07-19 07:23 pm (UTC)She raises her head a little, nips at Faramir's earlobe, shifting until she's straddling his lap, her legs spread wide so she doesn't push Faramir's together, doesn't interrupt Jack's work. The air is cool on her wet cunt, raising gooseflesh briefly along the tops of her arms.
"'Tis sweeter than being touched," she comments aloud, with a smile, "to see thee touched so." She's talking to Faramir, but her eyes do flick over to Jack as well, dark and heavy-lidded. There's a huskiness to her voice that she makes no effort to disguise.
Perhaps it's that which pulls a shaky sigh from Faramir, or perhaps it's some movement of Jack's hand on the sensitive skin of his growing erection. Either way, he does sigh, his narrow hips bucking slightly against Jack's hand, his own hand hesitantly wrapping around the pirate's length. He lets go of Éowyn's breast to tangle his hand in her hair instead, pulling her in for another long, hungry kiss as his other hand starts to move almost experimentally, thumb running over the curve and the tip, back down over hot skin.
"He does feel different," he comments quietly, pulling back a way, eyebrows raised. Different to himself, he means, of course. "Is it..."
"Shh," Éowyn tells him, shaking her head, and leans in to kiss him again. Her hand comes up from Jack's thigh, feeling blindly over Faramir's fingers, and trails up over the pirate's belly, onto his chest, then up to fist in his hair. "Shh, love. Now is not the time for such questions."
Again, she glances at Jack, as if for guidance.
no subject
Date: 2017-07-20 09:37 am (UTC)He busies himself instead with that hand on Faramir; his fingers trace down from the tip to curl around his hardening erection, giving a gentle squeeze at the base then running his palm up once more along the sensitive underside. His own cock twitches beneath Faramir's light caress, hips arching to press into the touch, a shiver prickling through his body in the wake of Eowyn's hand brushing over his skin. Jack exhales a ragged breath, gaze dragging to Faramir and voice measurably soft, "You've nothing to worry about. Put your mind at ease, allow yourself to enjoy." Easier said than done, most likely. But hopefully it'll encourage Faramir to lose himself more in what's happening.
Prompted by Eowyn's glance, Jack withdraws the hand from Faramir and splays his palm over the man's chest, urging him backward onto the bed. "Lay back." Then his hand drops away from Eowyn's breast, fingers curling up into her hair, drawing her over into a kiss. It's only a brief touch of his lips to hers, then Jack leans in close to her ear, breath hot on her skin. "Place yourself over his face, legs spread, and have him pleasure you. I'll take care of him here."
Once she starts to move Jack will replace his hand on Faramir, thumb brushing light on the head of his cock, then over his frenulum, that sweet spot just beneath it. Then he'll bend forward, dipping to flick his tongue against the tip of his erection. He hasn't done this too many times in the past, but he's familiar enough -- and has had it done to himself enough times -- to know what will feel good.
no subject
Date: 2017-07-20 04:17 pm (UTC)Faramir groans low in his throat - tense or not, it's hard to focus when he's being touched like that - and nods, pulling her towards him. She settles over him, still holding his hand, her fingers lacing through his, and turns so she's facing Jack when she kneels over her husband's face. As she lowers herself down over his mouth, and as he raises his head a little to run his tongue through her wet folds, Jack's own tongue comes into play.
It isn't exactly unexpected, but on some level, it clearly is a surprise, from the way Faramir gasps, his hips twitching instinctively upwards, his fingers tightening around Éowyn's hand. That, in turn, wins a little moan from her, from his breath on her wet cunt and the sight of his arousal: she bites her lip and bears down against his mouth. This is far from the first time he's pleasured her this way, and he knows what he's doing, his tongue drawing patterns over her clit, his lips working against the inside of her thigh. If there was any question that he still knows how to please her, it's quickly resolved: within moments she's writhing and moaning, her eyes heavy-lidded and unfocused, but still fixed on Jack and his work.
no subject
Date: 2017-07-21 08:26 am (UTC)His eyes lock with Eowyn's for a lingering moment, watching her squirm with the pleasure Faramir is giving her and becoming sorely more aware of the nearly painful ache of his own arousal. He's finding quite a bit of enjoyment in the sight of her being pleasured while he does the same to her husband, in the noises that they're both making, the effect his efforts are having on Faramir.
Jack grazes a hand downward to cradle Faramir's balls in his palm, fondling him, his touch decidedly delicate there. His other hand is wrapped at the base of Faramir's cock, tongue working at his head, before the pirate shifts to take him more fully into his mouth. He can't take him in too deeply -- this is, after all, one of the few things he isn't well-practiced at -- but nonetheless, Jack begins a steady rhythm along the length of his shaft.
no subject
Date: 2017-07-22 01:39 pm (UTC)For her part, Éowyn finds her arousal mounting faster than she's used to. It shouldn't be a surprise, really, but she is surprised to find just how sexy it is to watch someone else pleasuring Faramir, to see Jack's mouth around him and know that they're all three of them turned on. When Faramir's tongue starts thrusting into her, she cries out sharply in esctasy, falling forwards onto all fours and grinding her hips down against his mouth. She's clearly already close to coming, her eyelids fluttering, her chest heaving, fingernails digging against Faramir's chest. Still, her eyes are fixed on Jack, his head between her husband's thighs, the flex of muscle under his bare skin. Éowyn bites down hard on her lip, moaning long and low, and raises their joined hands to kiss Faramir's knuckles. She hasn't entirely forgotten why they're here, or her shame, but it's hard to think too long on it when she feels so amazingly good.
no subject
Date: 2017-07-23 09:39 am (UTC)His hand rubs the base of Faramir's cock in rhythm with the dip of his head, mouth slick over him, sucking against the hot skin with light pressure. The other hand drifts to trace wandering patterns in his inner thigh with his nails, feeling the flex of muscle beneath his fingers. Every once in awhile, as his head rises and tongue makes a pass over the head of Faramir's cock, his gaze will flick to Eowyn positioned over his face. The breath is sharp in his throat, quick, even moreso seeing Eowyn's building ecstasy, the grind of her hips against her husband's mouth, the heaving rise and fall of her chest.
He then picks up his tempo with Faramir, lips wet and soft along his length, mouth engulfing him. His own cock is hard and throbbing, whole body warm and arousal almost agonizing.
