Improving Lessons (Jack/Stephen/Sophie)

Written for Porn Battle XIV, though it's barely PG. My first fic in the fandom; still feeling my way. I don't usually attempt this level of pastiche, but apparently O'Brian's diction and phrasing is as much a kink for me as anything else.

Title: Improving Lessons
Fandom: The Aubrey-Maturin series, Patrick O'Brian
Characters/Pairings: Jack/Stephen/Sophie
Rating: PG
Word count: ~1,400
Spoilers: this is a coda for the last chapter of H.M.S. Surprise --spoilers through to that point.
Disclaimer: not mine, no profit

a/n: for the prompts: teaching, sharing, comfort

Summary: Surely it was not the thing, not the thing at all, for one man to kiss another man’s betrothed, no matter how particular a friend the first man was of the second.
