Universe #4451

Characters: Jack, Claire, all of the Driscolls, Jake, EVERYONE present around 2002.
Rating: NC-17, eventually.
Universe: Jack and Claire meet at the Fourth of June celebrations at Eton after Avery's first year and Jack's final year. Avery is almost thirteen, Jake is his best friend, Frank only knows him by name, Jack is seventeen, and Claire divorced John some time ago (they remain friends, he stays around to take care of the kids often, and life is good for everyone).
Date: Beginning in 2002.

The Fourth of June celebrations were coming to a close and all of the families that had come to visit for the day were growing restless. Or perhaps it was the children growing restless. Claire Driscoll had been holding her six-year-old daughter for about ten minutes, and her ten-year-old son was clutching her shirt and yawning. Avery, her oldest and the Etonian of the current generation, was leaning against her, and Jake, his best friend, was leaning against him.

It was a hot day, a clear day, and everyone was eager for refreshments and to get out of the sun. But it was nice, really, to be with all three of her children for the first time in a year.

Jack was sick of this whole thing. It was hot, he was sticky, and all of his friends were with their families. Jack had spent the day wandering, being shooed away from babies he tried to play with, and generally hating holidays.

When he saw Avery, though, he decided to wander over. Avery was a younger--how much younger he couldn't ever remember--boy, who lived just a few doors away from Jack. "Hey, kid," he said, smiling at Avery, and dropping his cigarette to stub it out.

Avery looked over at Jack, who was much taller and much older and in his final term at Eton. He looked a bit rough around the edges, but Avery thought he was quite handsome, indeed. Jake was just handsomer.

"Hi, Jack," Avery said, leaning away from his mum in order to allieviate the embarrassment of having been leaning on her at all.

"And Jake," Jack said, nodding at him. He only knew him because he was probably sleeping with Avery--they were always together. "Enjoying yourselves?"

[info]dearest_thief

Avery nodded. "I suppose. It's a bit boring. At least it's your last, yeah?" he remarked, looking at his shoes for a moment before glancing at Jack again.

Behind them, Bess made an irritated noise and Claire shifted her. "Avery, who's your friend?" Claire asked softly, rubbing Avery's back as if she'd only just realised he wasn't pressed up against her anymore.

"Oh, er, this is Jack. Jack, this is my mum."

[info]thecurveof

July 13 2006, 22:56:10 UTC 5 years ago

"Hi." Jack tilted his head and stuck his hand out for Claire. "Jack Dickon, it's nice to meet you. And hello!" The last thing was aimed at Bess.

Bess sighed and gave him a bored, reproachful look that was at least fifty years too old for her, and Claire was the one to take Jack's hand. "Hello, Jack. I'm Claire. It's very nice to meet you." He was a handsome boy, certainly.

[info]thecurveof

July 13 2006, 23:03:46 UTC 5 years ago

Jack frowned at Bess and looked at Claire instead. Her voice was--he didn't let of her hand. "Very nice," he said, leaning in closer. "And you have a beautiful voice." She had a very beautiful everything, actually. He could tell where Avery got his looks.

July 13 2006, 23:08:09 UTC 5 years ago

"Ew," Bess said. "Let me down, Mummy." Claire obliged without letting go of Jack's hand. He was very charming. Too charming. Dangerously charming, in fact, and Claire had to will herself not to return the compliment. He couldn't have been any less than seventeen years her junior.

"Thank you, Jack. Is your family here?"

[info]thecurveof

July 13 2006, 23:13:30 UTC 5 years ago

"All of them," Jack said, letting go of her hand slowly, letting his fingers slide across her palm. "If you'd like to meet everyone, I can show you to my room. I know they'll be there." He resisted the urge to wink, but gave in to the temptation of grinning at Avery.

Avery made a slightly horrified noise. Jack was hitting on his mum and it was very disgusting. Bubt it was Jack's way, really, to hit on people. He had done the same with Avery cute a few times, but eventually took the hint and stopped. Well, for the most part.

Claire, however, wasn't as horrified or disgusted as she ought to have been. The attention, especially attention from someone so much younger, was flattering. And, as she had thought before, Jack was a very handsome young man. "Aren't the rooms rather small for families to be staying in them?" she asked, half-teasingly.

[info]thecurveof

July 13 2006, 23:23:46 UTC 5 years ago

"I wouldn't call it small," Jack said, smiling at her, "but I can fit my whole family in that room. Now, who are your young siblings here?"

[info]yourclaire

July 13 2006, 23:27:55 UTC 5 years ago

Avery was too busy rolling his eyes and making choking noises to answer. He grabbed Jack's wrist and escaped.

"Avery!" Claire said, just as she was going to answer Jack's question. "Where are you going?"

"Away!"

Claire sighed and shook her head. "Well, they aren't my siblings, but, this is Bess, and this is James." James looked more exhausted than it was worth, and Bess was squinting up at Jack as if he had a frightening growth coming out of his forehead.

[info]thecurveof

July 13 2006, 23:35:12 UTC 5 years ago

Jack tugged on Bess' hair to get her back, and waved at Avery as he left. "If they're tired, I do have a bed," he said. "Close to Avery's room so it's no problem." They could even put them in Avery's room, and be alone in Jack's. "Unless your husband can come get them."

Then they could really be alone.

"It would be difficult for him, as he's no longer my husband and he's at home, in Cape Town," Claire said. It was far enough after the divorce to pull all of the humour out of it. Besides, that was probably the information Jack was looking for.

Bess, stomped on Jack's foot. "I want to go back to Nana."

"I don't know where Nana went. James, why don't you take her and go find your brother and Nana."

James sighed and did as he was told. Very begrudgingly, as he was seconds from falling asleep.

Jack grinned. Could his day get better? "I don't have any family here," he admitted, and took another cigarette out of his pocket. "So I'm bored as all hell, and actually am on the way back to my room. You still need to join me."

[info]yourclaire

July 13 2006, 23:46:10 UTC 5 years ago

Claire watched him, watched his lips and the cigarette that would soon be between them. "There was no possible way for me to believe you had any family stashed away in your room." Against her better judgment, against everything morally right, she did want to join him. She had only had one relationship since her divorce four years earlier, and it had been as boring as the tailend of her marriage.

Still, this was a boy. A boy who was likely of age, but still just a child. A child who could look her in the eyes, a child who had probably gotten a bit friendly with most of the school, but a child.

July 13 2006, 23:49:10 UTC 5 years ago

"You can get to know me extra, then." Jack put his hand on the small of her back and paused, curling his fingers against her skin while he lit his cigarette. There.

"Just come with me," he murmured, hoping she would get the chance to. "I can't tell you how glad I am to have met you, Claire. It was so dull a minute ago."

[info]yourclaire

July 13 2006, 23:50:57 UTC 5 years ago

Fuck her better judgment. He was turning her on and that very fact turned her on more. "I'll come," she said, meaning every possible aspect there was for her to come. "You'll have to take me."

[info]thecurveof

July 13 2006, 23:52:56 UTC 5 years ago

"It's this way," Jack said, grinning openly now. "Up the stairs. You can lead." He had to, after all, study her arse. "Three doors past Avery, on the other side."

[info]yourclaire

July 13 2006, 23:56:23 UTC 5 years ago

Claire knew where that was, at least. Warre. She gave Jack a look and left the crowded banks of the river for the shade of the lane Warre was on. If this was to be a quick and dirty little fuck, there was no need for anymore exchange of words. Claire led them silently on, glad, for once, that she was wearing a dress that hung around her mid-thighs. Hung and swayed with every step up the stairs and every step to the third door past Avery's.

[info]thecurveof

July 13 2006, 23:58:51 UTC 5 years ago

Jack could see where Avery got his arse. He wanted it. Wanted her. He came up behind her, grabbing her arse in both hands and pressing her against the door as he pressed against her back. The cigarette was still in his mouth and he ground it into the door over her shoulder, letting it burn a circle that would remind him of just how Claire's arse felt forever. He let go of the butt and wrapped his arm around her waist so that he could open his door with his free hand.

"Welcome," he purred into her ear.

[info]yourclaire

July 14 2006, 00:05:24 UTC 5 years ago

This was new, but hardly unwelcome. It made Claire weak and hot to such an extent that when the door fell away, she almost stumbled into the room. How was it that a boy who was most likely sixteen or seventeen, had her in just fifteen minutes? Had her not only in his room, but had her in his hands. Had her wet and wanting for the first time in years.

[info]thecurveof

July 14 2006, 00:14:29 UTC 5 years ago

Jack shut the door behind them, but didn't lock it. Why would he need to? He took off his shirt and the uniform jacket, took them off and had them on the floor in a second. Her dress would go, but first he loosened his belt and, watching her, dropped it to the floor.

"Come here," he said, reaching out his arm to cup the back of her neck. He bent his elbow, ready to pull her in if need be. First, he would kiss her. Then they could deal with that dress.

[info]yourclaire

July 14 2006, 00:17:45 UTC 5 years ago

Claire watched him with darkening eyes and stepped forward without any further encouragement, kissing him hard enough to send them both back against the door. She hadn't been laid in two years. Now she was more horny than she could ever remember being in her life.

[info]thecurveof

July 14 2006, 00:23:01 UTC 5 years ago

Jack kissed her back, pulling her against him and testing his fingers in her long hair. she felt good against him, but Jack wasn't paying attention to the fit as much as he was to his cock against her hip. They were the same height and he could reach the bottom of her dress. He tugged it up, stepping away from her so that she could help him finish the job.
