It had been another long but productive day at the station, and Jack was more than ready to unwind and spend time with his love. He was all smiles during the drive home and, sure enough, he found Thomas in the garden. Working hard, as usual. He stood there for a moment, watching the man he'd fallen so deeply for, until finally he approached him.

"It looks great here." He wrapped his arms around Thomas' waist from behind and kissed his cheek.

Thomas smiled, slight smug and knowing because he did know that Jack liked when he called him sir, the first time was a genuine mistake. There were no more mistakes with it since. He knew when to use it to best advantage.

He followed after Jack quite content. "I love when you look after me."

[jrobinson]

He'd never had something like this. Such a strong connection to someone that felt so right. No hurt, no uncertainty.

With Thomas, he found it so easy to discover new and exciting things. Things they both liked.

"I love looking after you." He kissed him again while waiting for the bath to be ready.

[hidden_heart]

Thomas felt it easy to let himself relax with Jack, after so long at Downton it was a different life comple tely for him but it was never a bad one.

Thomas stood closer to Jack, resting a hand on Jack's shoulder after they kissed. When Thomas started to help Jack undress there was no rush like their first time together. It was slow and careful, he carefully placed each of their clothes to hang up so they were safe. His a little separate because he didn't want the dirt of Jack's cleaner suit.

Taking glances where he could to admire Jack and marvel at the realisation that this man wasn't going anywhere and loved him like Thomas loved him.

[jrobinson]

He had noticed Thomas start to relax more and settle into this new life of theirs, and it made him so happy.

Jack couldn't stop smiling as he was undressed. Thomas was so careful and loving with it, the look in his eyes making it even better. Once Thomas stood in front of him again, Jack placed Thomas' hand on his chest to let him feel his heart.

"That's all yours now, darling. I'm not going anywhere." He kissed him slowly while undressing him. "I love you, Thomas Barrow."

[hidden_heart]

Thomas looked like he was going to say something at that but instead just let Jack undress him as he'd only moments ago done.

It was getting easier to accept that Jack wasn't going anywhere. He smiled, a little redness at hearing Jack say he loved him like that still. "I love you too Jack Robinson."

He reached to turn the water off fornthe bath. "Will you join me?" He asked a little coyly.

[jrobinson]

Jack couldn't help but stare at his lover's naked body. He looked so good all over and he felt like pinching himself to make sure it wasn't just a dream.

"Absolutely. It's always better together." He climbed into the tub and held out a hand for Thomas. "The water's perfect."

[hidden_heart]

Thomas was looking at Jack appreciatively as well. After everything he wasn't sure how he'd got lucky with Jack. He took his glove off as the last thing he had to do. He'd have kept it on if he could but he knew it wasn't practical.

"Always." He smiled as he took Jack's hand and stepped into the tub to settle in the water with Jack. "Everything is perfect."

[jrobinson]

He couldn't take his eyes off Thomas as he stepped into the tub. He couldn't wait to hold him and kiss him. It felt like paradise with Thomas, every single day.

"It is. All the pieces fell into place." Jack smiled while gently beginning to wash Thomas, helping him rid of all the garden dirt.

[hidden_heart]

Thomas leaned to Jack's touches he helped clean him up from the garden. He'd do it all over again the next day and it was a comfort.

"You know I only get extra dirty working in the garden because this is my reward." He smiled, reaching to hold Jack's other hand. It wasn't the only reason. Thomas enjoyed knowing there was fresh food he could cook with for them both. "I can help you when you're done." Because he wanted to touch Jack more.

[jrobinson]

"Is that so? Well, I'm happy to do this for you whenever." He held Thomas' hand with a fond smile, giving it a soft kiss. Thomas was an incredible cook and he looked forward to tasting more of his creations.

"I'd like that." He missed having Thomas' hands on him. He was so amazing with his touches.

[hidden_heart]

"I know. But I feel this way is better because it's after hard work." He couldn't help some things didn't change.

He has some of Mrs Patmore's recipes from his letters which he could try. He'd sent her his thanks for them.

"I'd like it too." He leaned to kiss Jack.

[jrobinson]

"It really is. Helping you relax after a hard day's work is a pleasure." He liked being able to look after Thomas after he'd done the same for him for so long.

Jack had grown fond of Mrs. Patmore. He'd never forget what she said to him, about how he made Thomas happy.

"We have all the time in the world now, love." He returned the kiss.

[hidden_heart]

"And I'm there for you after yours."

Even more so when things didn't go the way he always hoped they would. Thomas supported Jack without hesitating. He took the cloth from Jack. "Let me help you now." Soft, slow, caring touches across Jack's chest.

He savored the kiss. He always did. He gave a happy sigh as he moved. His back to Jack's chest. Resting his long healed hand out over the side as he closed his eyes a moment just listening ot Jack's breathing.

[jrobinson]

"It's helped in more ways than I can express. Some days really are tougher than others." He appreciated Thomas' support. Being a Detective Inspector took its toll sometimes. "Yes please." He sighed softly as Thomas ran the cloth on his chest, a fond smile on Jack's face.

His fingers danced along Thomas' arm while he planted light kisses beneath his ear and on his shoulder.

"This is the best view anyone could ask for," he murmured near Thomas' ear.

[hidden_heart]

It was those days when it was the other way around, even if Thomas' was working in the garden, their positions were reversed. Thomas had his arms around Jack and he would hold him. He liked doing that but Thomas also liked this way as well. Feeling Jack's muscles against his back and safe in his arms. Being in love with a policeman, detective inspector, definitely had perks.

He turned his hand over and caught Jack's hand, threading their fingers together. Leaning his head back against Jack's shoulder. Then he glanced at Jack with a little smile. Finally moving their hands back into the water, resting on Thomas' leg.

[jrobinson]

Thomas had kept Jack sane on so many nights, helping him forget about the horrors of the job. He appreciated him so much, and he really appreciated the gorgeous figure of Thomas and how good it felt to hold him. He'd be happy to stay in shape for his eyes and hands and lips to enjoy.

He smiled back while caressing his lover's leg, his gaze turning a bit darker. "I could help you relax even more."

[hidden_heart]

Thomas would do the same with Jack and tending the garden was the perfect way to do that. Also was going to the beach with Jack. It was something different than back in England. It was warm and little chance of rain at the times they went so swimming in the sea was enjoyable not a dare.

He turned his head to look at Jack, his eyes dark with the desire for his love. "Touch me Jack."

[jrobinson]

He did enjoy watching Thomas work in the garden, his hair unkempt and his arms flexing. The thought of it made his length twitch against Thomas' backside, and his hand moved upwards to start stroking his lover's cock.

"With pleasure Thomas." He nuzzled his neck with his lips and kissed it.

[hidden_heart]

Thomas felt Jack's cock twitch and smiled wondering what Jack was thinking of to cause that or was it just touching him.

He sighed happily at Jack's gentle touch and kissed. "Perfect..." He had his head back against Jack's shoulder.

[jrobinson]

"When I saw you working the garden.. Your hair like that, your arms. Bent over.. It made me imagine what I could do." He spoke with a low tone, moving his hand more firmly.

He loved feeling Thomas get hard in his hand, which aroused him more.

[hidden_heart]

Hearing Jack say what he was thinking, if Thomas wasn't already getting hard that alone would have done it for him. Being wanted like that from Jack and that he loved him that much to... in public. Sort of. Their garden.

Thomas's breath caught.

"You would cause a scandal." He managed, a little choked. Not that he was objecting to that at all.

[jrobinson]

Jack hadn't shown much of this assertive side, if any, with previous lovers. He hadn't found anyone like Thomas before. They just clicked in so many ways.

He liked toying with the idea of claiming his boyfriend in the garden, but only if it were truly safe.

"That's true," he smirked. "Detective Inspector Robinson making passionate love to his stunning boyfriend, former butler of Downton, right in their garden."

[hidden_heart]

Thomas could figure that out. Maybe even plant a few things to grow that could strategically help out with that.

"Oh shaming the house from all the way across the world." He leaned back again against Jack with a happy moan. "Oh that is something I could be proud of." With Jack. And only with Jack.

[jrobinson]

That would definitely make him want to try it. He wanted to do something spontaneous like that with Thomas.

"I'd be proud of it, too. Only with you, love." He nipped his lover's shoulder playfully while his other hand joined in to fondle his balls.

[hidden_heart]

Thomas would want to make it happen for Jack, yes it definitely helped that it would bring a certain excitement for him as well added to the fun of it.

With that Thomas could only groan again at how good Jack was with his hands, he knew what Thomas wanted or needed, the detective intuition was a blessing for Thomas.

"Are you going to let me finish here or would you like to take this to bed?" Thomas would be happy with either. But the latter meant he'd make sure Jack got the attention he was dying to lavish upon him.
