Summary: Another Torchwood secret
This they will never talk about, Jack knows, no matter how many times it happens, or how much either of them enjoys it.
Owen is darkness and damage. What happens between them solves nothing, beyond providing a few moments of pleasure, and keeping Jack’s streak at Torchwood unbroken. Whatever marks he leaves don’t show; better for everyone that way.
Jack is willing to be discreet, in the name of Owen’s pride and the potential for hurt feelings among the others with their romantic illusions. For Jack and Owen, there are neither fantasies, nor words.
The code of silence prevails.
