A/N: his is an AU fic I've had in my head for a while. I actually wrote the middle of this epic a while back and I just started the beginning to tie it all together. First part of fic is Jack/Daniel and does contain some Daniel/OMC offscreen non-con/abuse. Later chapters will be Jack/Daniel/OFC as they take in another abused slave.
It's a weird AU and I'm trying not to make these early chapters an information dump.
---------------
Daniel woke to the dimmed lighting of the infirmary at night. He blinked a few times trying to focus and felt sharp stabbing pains in his head where Arlis had slammed him into the concrete. He heard a gentle snoring coming from next to his bed and he gingerly turned to see Jack sprawled in a chair near his bedside, sound asleep with his head drooping forward and his chin on his chest.
He tried licking his lips to try and speak but only a croaky sort of a whisper would come out, it was enough to rouse Jack though, and that was what he wanted.
Jack quickly scrubbed his face with his hands and leaned closer to Daniel, “Hey. Back with us?”
Daniel managed to say, “Yeah. I think so.”
Jack reached over and cupped Daniel's cheek, and Daniel couldn't help himself and leaned into the comforting touch. And when Jack asked, “You okay?” Daniel knew he wasn't asking about the head injury, he had to know what Arlis had done to him.
Daniel averted his eyes in shame, and nodded in spite of the pain in his head.
Jack's thumb gently caressed Daniel's cheek, “Not your fault. And Arlis has been taken care of, he's gone and won't be coming back to the SGC.”
Daniel looked at Jack in horror, thinking that he meant Arlis had been sentenced to castration. At Daniel's look Jack clarified, “Not that, although I think he almost deserves it. He's been busted back down a rank and reassigned to work in the motor pool. He also got tagged in the system so he's going to have a hard time if he ever wants to claim someone and he's certainly never getting box twelve authorization for anyone.”
Daniel could see the worry on Jack's face, even without his glasses and didn't know what to say, he struggled to sit up, regardless of the thudding in his head. Jack perched himself on the bed and just pulled Daniel into a tight hug, knowing that Daniel would never ask for the reassurance that his whole being was screaming out for.
They sat there like that for a very, very long time and Jack felt the wetness on his shirt from Daniel's silent tears a moment before Daniel whispered hoarsely, “Why me? Why is he so fixated on me?”
Jack just rubbed Daniels back gently, “I don't know, Daniel. It's not you, though, it's like there's something hardwired wrong in Arlis. But I promise you, he's never going to come near you again.”
There was something more than a little ominous in Jack's words and Daniel shivered and pressed even closer to Jack. It was the first time on base that they had displayed this type of emotion and physical intimacy openly, normally Daniel was the one that was concerned with who might see and what it would do to Jack's career and would shy away from it. But not tonight, he just couldn't force himself to shy away from it tonight, and he didn't care who saw them. He just wanted the security he felt as Jack held him, but the longer he was awake the clearer the memories of his encounter with Arlis got and his emotions just kept rollercoastering. As Daniel sat there with Jack's arms and familiar scent surrounding him, Daniel felt safe enough to admit out loud, “I thought he was going to rape me.”
Jack's hand on his back paused and he heard Jack swallow strongly before saying in a low voice for Daniel's ears alone, “He wouldn't be breathing if he had. No one hurts someone I love and gets away with it.”
Daniel's sucked in his breath, neither of them had used that word before to describe their feelings for each other. He pulled back, desperately wanting to see Jack's eyes. His mouth opened but nothing would come out, all of the languages that he spoke failed him, he just didn't know how to acknowledge it, or how to accept that Jack loved him.
Jack saw that Daniel was struggling and his eyes softened, “I do you know. Love you. This isn't exactly how I wanted to tell you. But I really want you to know that, and believe it. Okay?”
Daniel didn't say anything, he simply plastered himself to Jack and squeezed him for all he was worth and when he finally found the words he spoke quietly into Jack's shoulder, “Me too, Jack, me too.”
---------------
The next morning Jack sprang Daniel from the infirmary as soon as Doctor Fraiser would let him go. They headed home and Daniel plunked down gingerly on the couch, his buttocks still a little chaffed even with the salve that Dr. Fraiser had given him to use.
Once Daniel was settled on the couch Jack was hovering about the living room. Daniel was just about to ask him what he was so excited about when Jack clapped his hands together and rubbed them together and announced, “I have a surprise for you.”
Daniel looked at Jack over his glasses, “A surprise?”
“Yeah. We have a week of down time and I think its time I showed you my cabin in Minnesota.”
The look of childish delight on Jack's face told Daniel that this was important to Jack, and special. They packed quickly and while Jack was out of the room putting a thermos of coffee together for the road Daniel raided the nightstand drawer and tucked the condoms and lubricant in his duffle bag.
They took turns driving, and Jack enjoyed himself as he pointed out interesting things along the way, Daniel had never before been this far north.
The sixteen hour drive was tiring and although Daniel wanted to explore the cabin and its surroundings as soon as they got there, it was late and they simply went to bed almost immediately.
The next two days were spent just relaxing, the weather was beautiful and they whittled away hours sitting on the little pier near the pond. Daniel wasn't particularly a fan of fishing, but enjoyed sitting out there with Jack and a book. The third day they drove into the little town and Jack introduced him to several of the locals that he had known for years.
There were several retired officers in the area, and as they made their way around the town, Daniel was surprised to see that there were many slaves as well, most with pledged concubine cuffs on their wrists. Daniel wondered about that a little, there were many pledged male slaves but he had yet to meet any female officers, where those male slaves pledged to male officers?
He knew legally it was possible, the laws regarding claiming and pledging were gender neutral, but seeing it in practice was something else. The only law that was gender specific was in the number of pledged concubines an officer was allowed to have, which was two, one of each sex. The law was designed that way to allow officers that wanted to pledge the breeder of their children the opportunity to be able to do so and it also allowed for them to pledge a same-sex concubine. It was a not so subtle acknowledgment of the homosexual relationships the military knew to be occurring.
Pledged concubines were as close to free as a slave would ever get, most other cultures would call them husbands and wives or spouses. They were beholden to none save their pledged officer. Becoming a pledged concubine was actually the one thing about their lives that slaves had control over, they could reject a pledge offer if they wished. Pledges were binding for life and it was not something typically undertaken lightly by either the officer or the slave.
As they drove back to the cabin Daniel allowed himself the daydream of what it would be like to be pledged to Jack. He knew they loved each other, they had finally shared that with one another in the infirmary, and he knew without hesitation that he would say yes if Jack asked to pledge him. His mind wandered further and he thought about a future where they were pledged with a breeder as part of their lives to give Jack a child that they could raise and cherish. Daniel had long ago given up hope of having his own children, he had just never caught the eye of a female officer looking to breed with him, but he could envision raising children with Jack and being a family. And the thought made him smile as he looked out the window.
Jack saw that gentle smile on Daniel's face and wondered what he was thinking about. The sun and fresh air had done Daniel a world of good, and as Jack admired the sun kissed look of Daniel's face he was hit with a powerful bolt of pure lust. He had lustful thoughts about Daniel often, but this was different, he wanted him, wanted to cover him and be inside him, and wanted to feel Daniel arching and sweating beneath him, enjoying it just as much. It was a good thing they had just pulled into the driveway of the cabin because Jack really needed to adjust himself in his seat, his jeans just not having enough room for his near painful erection.
As he put the truck in park, Daniel hopped out and headed for the cabin. It took him a second to realize that Jack hadn't gotten out of the truck. He turned back around to see Jack sitting with his head on the steering wheel. He walked around to the driver's side door and asked through the open window, “Jack? Everything okay?”
Jack swallowed hard and said without looking up, “Yeah, everything's fine. I just need a minute.”
Daniel reached in and ran a hand over Jack's back, “You sure?”
Jack forced himself to calm down and answered as he looked up, “Yeah.”
He opened the truck door and got out trying to stick his hands in his pockets to hide the bulge that just wouldn't go away.
They went inside and Daniel could see Jack trying to subtly adjust himself and he teased as he stared at Jack's groin, “Something I said?”
Jack just dropped his head in defeat, and it gave Daniel the opportunity to close the distance between them and tuck a finger under Jack's chin and lift it, “What were you thinking about in the truck that got you so turned on?”
Jack wanted to lie, or not answer at all, but that wasn't the type of relationship they had. He never wanted to pressure Daniel into anything that he didn't want to do, but he ached with the wanting of it. And it wasn't a dominance thing for Jack, although a lot of officers used penetration to assert their position of power over their claimed slaves. Jack just wanted to connect with Daniel, wanted to be closer to him than anyone had ever been. He wanted to feel Daniel all around him. And because he knew his motives were born out of love and desire he didn't feel guilty as he answered Daniel honestly, “I was thinking about you. Being inside of you.”
The hoarseness of Jack's voice coupled with the honest words shot arousal all through Daniel and his own voice wavered a bit as he replied, “I've been thinking about that a lot. And I want it too.”
“You do?”
“Yeah, I do.”
They moved almost simultaneously and meeting of their mouths was fierce and hungry. They managed to strip and stumble their way to the bedroom that was illuminated by the late afternoon sun. Jack almost had to will himself not to come as he took in the sight of Daniel standing there bathed in the yellow glow of the sun, deliciously nude, his erection strong and high. He was perfect, like something carved out of marble.
He watched as Daniel dug the supplies out of his duffle bag and it was Jack's turn to tease, “I guess you have been thinking about it.”
Daniel put the tube and the condoms within easy reach on the nightstand and sat on the edge of the bed.
Jack stepped over to stand in front of Daniel and gently took his face in his hands and bent to kiss Daniel ever so gently. He pulled back a little and said very softly, “I love you.”
Daniel's eyes crinkled as a warm smile lit up his face, “I know. And I love you too.”
Those would be the last words said in the room for a long time. Daniel tugged Jack down onto the bed and they fell into the familiar touching, tasting and teasing of each other. Daniel knew that Jack had the container of lube with in reach, and as they were lying on their sides, kissing with their aching cocks nestled together a little shiver of anticipation coursed through Daniel as he heard sound of the tube being opened and he closed his eyes so he could just concentrate on the sensations. Moments later he felt the cool slick against him and a moment after that a single gentle finger enter him carefully. Ever so slowly he felt that finger start moving in and out of him and he found himself rocking himself along to the slow rhythm grinding his cock alongside Jack's.
Jack's eyes were wide open, watching Daniel's face for any sign of distress, any inkling that he wasn't enjoying Jack's ministrations. He almost chuckled at Daniel's little pout of disappointment when Jack removed his finger to add more lube. The pout went away instantly as Jack replaced the finger, and added a second. When a third was added, Daniel actually started mewing and pressing back hard against Jack's hand.
Daniel felt Jack's hand pull away and he wanted to cry, it had felt so good. He expected Jack to replace it right way like he had done previously but he didn't. Daniel opened his eyes and saw Jack rolling on a condom. He swallowed hard as he watched Jack kneel up and he saw Jack's shaking hands applying a generous amount of lube to his latex covered erection. An erection that suddenly seemed way too big for what they were going to do. He tried not to dwell on that, tensing up would be bad according to the book he had studied, instead he rolled over on his stomach and tucked a pillow under his hips and tried to find a comfortable position for his own rock hard erection.
Jack had to close his eyes for a moment to keep himself from coming too soon, the sight of Daniel lying there with his ass poised and ready for him almost enough to send him over the edge. He positioned himself behind Daniel and reached out a hand to softly stroke Daniel's back to reassure him. He used the other hand to guide himself to that carefully prepared entrance.
Daniel relaxed his death grip on the pillow under his head when he felt Jack's hand on his back. And as he felt Jack start to enter him he exhaled deeply and tried not to tense up. He felt the persistent pressure of Jack slowly pressing forward, but Daniel's body seemed unwilling to yield to him. Just when the pressure almost got to be too much to bear he felt Jack's hand on his back again, lightly running his fingers down Daniel's spine and the sensation sent a shiver through his body. And as that shiver distracted him for a moment Jack pressed forward again, and this time Daniel's body yielded suddenly and Jack sank into him.
Neither of them moved for what seemed like an eternity, the only sound in the room was their ragged breathing. Jack's brain abandoned him entirely, his senses had taken over the moment his cock had finally slid inside of Daniel. It was so tight, and so hot. And he tried to force himself to think about anything but that or else he would be coming before he even got to move.
Daniel was trying to remember to breathe, the initial of Jack actually entering him and the accompanying sting had been a little shock. The sting had lessened as they lay there not moving, and all he felt was a fullness and a stretching. His own ardor had cooled a bit but he was hypersensitive at the moment and he knew it wouldn't take much for it to return in force.
Jack felt Daniel relaxing around him and he slowly pulled out an inch or so and gently pushed back in, when there was no sign of distress from Daniel he did it again and this time felt Daniel moving with him. They established a slow and steady rhythm that was bringing both men to the brink. Daniel had slipped his hand underneath himself to fist his cock tightly. But it wasn't enough, Daniel's body was telling him it wanted more, and he instinctively pressed back even harder against Jack's thrust. His action changed the angle a little though and Jack's cock dragged across his prostate, and all Daniel could manage through the intense sensation was a simply primitive sort of grunt. And when Jack drew almost all the way out and back in in one sure stroke that hit it again in both directions Daniel's release hit him like a freight train.
When Daniel's orgasm hit, his body was trying to fuck the fist holding his cock and buck backwards onto the hardness deep inside of him at the same time. It was all Jack could do to hold on and stay inside Daniel, all thoughts of finesse or technique went out the window as Daniel's ass contracted around his cock and with a loud grunt he pressed himself in as far as he could go and let the waves of his own release take him.
It almost took more energy than he had to carefully pull out of Daniel and roll to the side before becoming boneless. It took a couple of minutes before their heart rates and breathing settled back to normal. Jack rolled up onto his elbow and reached a hand out to stroke Daniel's cheek and was upset to find tears streaming down.
“Daniel? What's wrong? Did I hurt you? Oh god, I hurt you didn't I?”
Daniel put a finger to Jack's lips to shush him and followed it with his own lips. And as he pulled back from the tender kiss he whispered honestly, “You didn't hurt me. I just... I just never expected it to be like that. I didn't expect to feel like that. It was a little overwhelming, that's all.”
“What do you mean you didn't expect to feel like that?”
“I just never expected this to happen with someone that cared about me, and I really didn't expect it to be about my pleasure as much as whoever was breaching me's pleasure. I guess I thought it would be sort of cold and clinical, and this was anything but.”
Jack's eyes grew soft, “That's because I didn't just breach you, Danny, I made love to you, with you. Big difference.”
---------------
Later that night Jack slipped out of bed and after pouring himself a good belt of Irish whiskey he went and sat on the porch steps. His own emotions from taking Daniel for the first time were all over the place. It had been an amazing experience. He wondered if he should tell Daniel that it had been the first time that the had ever been deflowered anyone. He had been nervous about injuring Daniel and had really wanted to make the experience good for Daniel. Apparently he succeeded by Daniel's post coital tears and admission.
He had seen the same pledged concubines in town as Daniel. And seeing them had also started Jack's mind down a future road. But was it a step they wanted to take? Would Daniel really want to pledge himself to Jack for the rest of their lives? He let his mind wander a moment, envisioning them pledged, and Daniel finally being nearly free.
He wondered if Daniel might want children, it was something he had thought about now and then since Charlie's death, but he had never acted on although an occasional breeder would catch his eye. But he could see it clearly in a future time with Daniel, they could find a breeder that they both were compatible with and both men could father a child. As Jack's pledged concubine any child Daniel sired would bear Jack's name and be recognized as an officer's child and afforded all the rights and protections thereof.
He smiled as he pictured many little feet running up and down the halls of their home. He heard the cabin door creak open and he felt Daniel sit on the step behind him and wrap himself around Jack. “What are you thinking about out here all by yourself?”
“About us, about the future.”
“Oh,” was Daniel's quiet reply.
Jack reached up and rubbed the forearm that Daniel had wrapped around his chest, “Good thoughts, Daniel. Only good thoughts.”
Daniel rubbed his cheek against Jack's hair and asked, “Care to share?”
Jack sipped his whiskey and said, “That whole pledging thing, and us.”
Daniel stilled behind him and Jack twisted around to see Daniel's face, the moonlight enough for Jack to see the look of longing on Daniel's face.
“Is that something you want, Daniel? You've got to tell me.”
“I was thinking about that on the drive home from town, actually.”
“Is that what you were smiling about?”
“Yeah. And, ah, about us maybe raising children together. I was picturing us being a family.”
Jack smiled and chuckled lightly, “Great minds think alike. That's what I was thinking too.”
The men were quiet for a while, enjoying the closeness and companionship. Finally Daniel leaned in near Jack's ear and teased, “You do have to ask me you know.”
Jack's deep laugh filled the night, and he stood up and turned to face Daniel taking his hands, “Will you pledge yourself to me, Daniel Jackson?”
---------------
The next morning they drove two towns over to the closest Slave Oversight Officer. The proper paper work was filled out and signed by both of them and Daniel's voice was strong and unwavering as he recited the oath that sealed him to Jack for the rest of his life.
The Slave Oversight Officer promptly filed the pledge in the computer along with the date of Daniel's deflowering. And with those two things completed, unless he wanted to file a charge of abuse, Daniel would never have to deal with an Oversight Officer again, he was as free as a slave could be, and the thought of that made him a little high.
Their next stop was a military run jeweler's shop where they ordered the gold cuff that would replace Daniel's dog tags. While it was being sized and engraved with their information they went and poked around town, browsing in the little shops and having an early lunch. It was ready when they went back and Jack held Daniel's free hand as the cuff was wrapped around Daniel's wrist and soldered in place permanently.
When it was done the two men embraced fiercely, not caring who was watching. The jeweler was a retired officer with two concubines of his own, and the embrace didn't phase him in the least.
---------------
The news of Daniel's deflowering and pledging did phase one person, however. And as Arlis read the words on the computer screen that effectively took Daniel away from him forever his fists knotted in rage and his mind started plotting.
