Jack Harkness didn't remember the last time he had been so carefree and released. And it all was because of this a bit clumsy, but strong and charmingly innocent ex-police officer, called Gwen Cooper. Her childishly innocent astonishment at this new world he had pulled her in was that he liked the most in her.

He wasn't able to resist to put her on the test of the irresistible charm of Captain Jack Harkness while showing her how to use a gun properly. He was teasing her shamelessly, amazed by her persistence to stay focused, in more ways actually. They were so close that he could feel her heartbeat quickening anytime he touched her. Yet, her hold on the gun was firm, not a tiny sing of shaking limbs or sweaty hands. She must have been a hell of a police-officer if her concentration was so excellent.

The first bullet hit the target right where it should have. Proud and content smile spreading on his face, he pulled her into a hug from behind. And it was never part of the test. Loosening up, she burst into a giddy laugh.

"That was a joint effort. Try it again," he said, his smile never fading.

Noise of the bullets and their laughter were echoing on the walls in the next hour.

He hadn't had so much fun for a long while. Ever since his journey with the Doctor and Rose ended.

Jack took a sideway glance at Gwen. Smiling, he watched her focusing on the target, biting her lower lip in concentration. She was damn sweet. Suddenly, he caught himself staring at her lips, wondering what they might feel like.

"Yesss," she bounced as the last shot hit the target hard too.

Her glowing face, those shimmering brown eyes, her cheerfulness amazed him. Gwen brought freshness into his life ever since their first encounter - the taste of something old he had missed, yet something new he badly needed.

"Have I passed the test, Captain?" she gave him a proud smile.

His mouth curved into a mischievous smirk. Not saying a word, he stepped closer, and kissed her.

His lips tasting hers tenderly, he placed his hands on her hips. She didn't resist. She couldn't. She lost all her strength concerning Captain Jack ever since he slid his hand on hers for the first time during the training. She couldn't help but surrendering to his intoxicating charm. Jack could feel her hot breath, and confirming it as an approval of his action, he deepened the kiss, pulling Gwen closer. Her heart throbbing faster, she felt the heat rising in her body. Overwhelmed by his power on her, she let herself fall into the sweet sensation.

"Now you have," Jack replied contently when breaking away from her.
