Ok Gang here's the next update. Also something that came to me, my description of Phukett is totally fictional I have never been there so if there is a chance someone who has been or lived there or in Thailand please don't take any offense to my last description or any other descriptions of the city there might be.
CHAPTER 3
Jack led Kate quickly and quietly through the streets and alleyways of the city. They eventually ended up in front of a hotel that Kate didn't recognize. Compared to the other section of town they had been in this building didn't look half bad. Jack gently eased her against the building and looked around.
"Ok, I'm going to go check in. Just in case there are any of Marco's men keeping an eye on hotels and hostels. I know the owner of this place so we should be able to lay low but just in case I want you to stay right here. I want it to look like I'm only one person checking in." He reached into his waistband and pulled the gun she had seen earlier out and he held it out to her. "Do you know how to use this?" he asked and Kate nodded, one thing about dating a con-man was she had to be able to take care of herself. She hated guns though and took it gingerly from him.
"Good" Jack said with a nod and looked around again. "Anyone comes near you I want you to scream like hell, if that doesn't work, you shoot them.' Jack said dead serious. Kate looked at him and he could see the worry and anxiousness in her eyes. "I swear Kate as soon as we're inside and safe I will tell you everything ok, but right now we just need to get to the room." He looked at her and she gave him a small smile.
"Ok" she whispered and Jack couldn't help but feel distress, it was the first time she had spoken since Whore's Alley. He just wanted to get her inside and safe. He pulled her close and Kate snuggled close to his chest, the gun felt heavy in her hand and she wanted nothing more than to throw it away and just curl into Jack. He kissed the side of her head and gave her a reassuring squeeze. With another look around he headed inside. Kate leaned against the wall wishing she could just sink into it; every little noise she heard was putting her on edge. She took a deep breath and gripped the gun tightly in her hand. Get a grip she told herself. She looked around and didn't see anyone; she heard a noise and quickly turned ready to fight. She let a relieved sigh when she saw it was Jack.
"Come on Kate, my friend is inside. We're safe now." He took the gun form her hand and tucked back into his pants. Kate reached out and gripped his hand tightly as she followed him inside. When they entered the small lobby she noticed a bald man leaning against the desk. He was looking at them and Kate wasn't sure what to make of him.
"Kate, I want you to meet John Locke. John this is Kate." Jack said leading her over to the man. John smiled at her and Kate couldn't help but smile back.
"Well hello Kate." John said. "Jack has told me you've had a rough night, well don't you worry you're safe here."
"Thank you" Kate said gratefully. John handed Jack a key and gestured to the elevator. "Go on up, as far as anyone is concerned I rented this room to a large black man here on business and I haven't seen a young couple at all."
"Thanks Locke" Jack said. "I appreciate this and I promise we'll be out of your way by tomorrow."
"No worries Jack, you're safe here, I don't scare easily." John said with a smile but Kate saw steeliness in his eyes that made her know he wasn't joking.
Jack led Kate to the elevators and they got onto the car. He hit the button and when the doors closed he looked at the woman next to him and he felt his conscious kick in if he had just stayed away tonight none of this would have happened. He sighed and found Kate looking at him.
"That was a pretty big sigh" she said concerned as the elevator doors opened. He gave her a grim smile and led her into the hallway and down to their room. He opened the door with the key and held it for her as she slipped past him into the room. He closed the door but not before taking one more look both ways down the hallway and then flipped all the locks on the door. He set the gun on the nightstand and rubbed his eyes wearily. Even though he knew of all the places, John Locke's hotel was the safest. That didn't mean that made Jack feel completely at ease. He turned to see what Kate was doing when he felt something hit his chest with a thud. He looked down to find himself being tightly embraced by the beautiful brunette. Her arms were wrapped tight around him and her face was buried in his chest. He awkwardly patted her shoulder and then gently eased his arms around her in a hug. He couldn't help but smirk to himself as he held the woman that in this night alone he had more human contact than he had this whole year. He heard her sniffle and gently eased her face up to look at him and he saw the tears in her eyes. He moved her over to the bed and sat her down and sat next to her. He removed his hands from her tight embrace and she made a sound of disapproval at the loss of contact. Jack felt bad but he needed to focus on the situation at hand and he needed for her to concentrate as well.
"Ok I guess you would probably like to know what's going on" he said with a sigh. "Tonight Atid brought me in to play in a poker game against some out of town business man. I won fair and square but it seems the man didn't take to kindly to me winning. Somehow he came into contact with Marco and ended up putting a hit out on me." Jack said and he heard Kate let out a small gasp. He looked at her and he saw her eyes flash with fear and worry. "From what I understand Marco has been waiting for the opportune time to take out Atid and to take his business for his own. I guess tonight was the night and he took the hit on me since he knew I was already there, two birds one stone. Atid also told me Marco was pretty upset you were with me. That's why I took you with me Kate. If it was just me in trouble I would have left you alone but I couldn't just leave you there for Marco to find. I'm so sorry Kate." He said meaning every word of it.
"Marco is after me because he wants me and he is after you because someone paid him to kill you" Kate said wearily as she tried to wrap her mind around it all.
Jack nodded and rubbed his eyes again tiredly. "I'm sorry Kate if I had just turned Atid down when he offered you, you would have…"
"I would have what Jack?" Kate asked sternly. He glanced at her slightly thrown by her serious tone. "If you hadn't been there, Marco probably still would have come in and shot the place up, except I would have been there and he would have taken me and right now he would be doing god knows what to me and I…" she was becoming hysterical and out of breath. Jack grabbed her hands trying to calm her down but she fought him breaking his grip. She started to hit him but her blows had no real force behind them. Jack pulled her against his chest and she collapsed against him in tears. He stroked her back not sure what else he could do for her. Finally he heard her small voice.
"Some of them were my friends Jack, I mean I was alone and abandoned and some of the girls were nice to me and tried to make it easier. Now they're dead, I mean no one could have survived that right?" she looked up at him and he looked into her red tear stained eyes.
"I don't know Kate, I don't know" he said with a sad shake of his head.
"I mean you know what kind of man Marco is, if any of the girls made it and he's in charge?" she shuddered so hard that it ran through her body and into Jack's. "I just don't know how things got so screwed up, I was on vacation with the man I thought I'd spend my life with and he basically sold me into slavery. I meet you and have the most incredible night of my life and now I'm on the run from some insane man who wants to kill you and rape me. How is this happening?" she asked holding onto him tighter. He moved her into his lap and she curled into him burying her face in his neck. He stroked her hair gently and tried to wrap his own mind around the events of the night. Disturbing enough the strangest event wasn't the bloodshed and death but the fact that he was holding a woman in his arms that he barely knew and was actually caring about her. He really had no idea what he was going to do; he knew he needed to get her out of the city probably the country, but what about him? He wasn't sure if he was ready to leave Thailand yet. He decided to worry about that later.
"Hey Kate, come on look at me" He adjusted her on his lap so she was facing him and she wrapped her legs around his waist. She looked up at him and Jack felt shaken by the trust and care in her eyes when looking at him. He shook off his unease and continued on looking into her eyes.
"Kate I know the world feels like its spinning but I just want you to know that I'm going to get you out of here. Tomorrow I'll make the arrangements and you can get the hell out of here and go back home ok?" he said and Kate looked at him and gave him a watery smile and nodded and hugged him.
"Where will we go?" she asked him stroking his back lightly with her nails. Jack tried not to stiffen at her question. He didn't know how to answer her question. He hated to admit but in this small amount of time Kate had managed to make a place in his cold heart he was going to hate having to let her go. He knew he would have to though. She had said she was a writer, she had a real life to get back to, probably family and friends. He had nothing to offer he, he was a lousy drunk with a washed out medical career. His money wasn't made by hard work and long hours at the hospital anymore; it was by card games and under the table favors. That was no life for her; in that respect he was no better than the motherfucker who left her in Thailand. He felt his grip tightening on her a little bit harder and she snuggled closer to him.
"Wherever you want" he said and he meant it wherever she wanted to go he would move the heavens to get her there. He sighed as he felt her place tiny kisses along his neck and he sighed he knew he should stop her but the selfish bastard in him wanted to give into her one last time, to have her and to let her be his once more. He pulled back and cupped her face in his hands and she leaned in and pressed her mouth against his in a sweet kiss.
He gently pulled away and kissed the tip of her nose. "I think I could use a shower" he said with a smirk. Kate grinned and grinded against his lap.
"Can I wash your back?" she asked seductively and Jack gave her a wolfish smile.
"Only if I can wash yours." With that he stood and Kate let out a yelp as she gripped him tight with her arms and legs so as to not fall off of him. He carried her into the bathroom and kicked the door closed behind him. He slowly undressed her and then himself and she started the water. They stepped in under the hot spray and both let out appreciative groans as the water washed away the dirt and grime from the day. Kate watched as he took the bar of soap in his hands, he quickly washed himself off and she looked on hungrily as his hands moved over his strong hard body. He then gently turned her around so she was facing away from him and he pulled her close so she rested against his chest. She sighed as he began to lather her arms and shoulders with the soap. Soon his hands began to roam and he was cupping both of her breasts in his hands gently massaging them and causing them to suds up. She moaned appreciatively and leaned harder against him. His hands continued south as they caressed and stroked over her stomach. To her surprise and disappointment he eased past her sensitive center which was throbbing for him at the moment. He knelt in the shower and gently washed her legs. He then stood and stepped back and gently began to wash the back of her in the same fashion, slow and luxuriously. His hands made their way down her back and to her firm backside where he gave her a gentle squeeze making her giggle. When she was completely rinsed off he slipped his arms back around her and pulled her back against his chest once again. This time his hands traveled over her breasts but there was a different feeling to his actions, where before it was almost non sexual but just calming and reassuring. However, now his hands had purpose as he gently tweaked and soothed her nipples causing her to buck back against him. He bent his head and gently places soft kisses along her neck.
"Jack what are you doing?" her voice came out in a whisper as the feeling of pleasure was beginning to wind its way through her. She gasped slightly and his talented fingers made their way past her belly and suddenly his finger was delving deep inside her causing her to release a pleasured moan. He smiled and continued sucking and nibbling her neck. He added a second and third finger and she gasped and her body instinctively began to rock up and down on his hand.
"You've had a rough day, let me pleasure you" he whispered in her ear and she let out another cry as he thrust deeper within her.
"Jack, please in me please" she gasped as she realized she was getting closer and closer to the edge. Her body erupted when he took his other hand and gently flicked her clit sending her into a thrilling orgasm. She whimpered and rocked back and forth as the waves of release worked through her body. She leaned heavily against him her body sated from his actions. He gently eased his fingers from within her and gently turned her to face him. Never breaking eye contact with her he brought his fingers to his lips where he licked the remnants of her off. Kate watched him her eyes darkened with passion as he cleaned his fingers.
"You taste so good" he said and Kate blushed slightly. "Good enough to eat" he said with a wicked grin and seconds later he was on his knees in front of her. The water was still warm so Kate just enjoyed the feel of the shower as Jack brought one of her legs over his shoulder as he buried his tongue inside of her causing her to cry in ecstasy. Jack massaged her ass with one hand while tongue fucking her and slipping his fingers inside her simultaneously. Kate tried to balance but found her self leaning against the shower wall as Jack made love to her with his mouth. She whimpered and twisted in his embrace as she found the familiar pangs of ecstasy beginning to wind through her body once again.
"Oh God Jack" she moaned her hands running through his short hair. Her cries seemed to spur him on as he began to lick and thrust harder and deeper in her. Her legs were trembling and she was afraid she couldn't stay standing much longer. Suddenly a flash of white light burst behind her eyes and she came hard and fast screaming his name. Jack gently lapped up her release with his tongue and gently eased back up her body leaving kisses all over her. When he was standing again he embraced her tightly keep her upright and kissed her hungrily and Kate moaned as she could taste herself on his tongue. She wrapped her arms tight around him and held him close as they kissed sensually. Kate suddenly became aware of the water turning cold. He reached over and turned off the tap and pulled a towel off the rack never breaking contact from her mouth. He began to towel her off. Kate broke from the kiss and laid her head on his shoulder as he gently ran the towel over her body. He then scooped her up in his arms and carried her out of the shower and bathroom and back out into the room. He eased her gently on the bed and pulled the covers back for her to scoot under. She was watching him through sleepy and sexually sated eyes which made a small smirk form on his lips. He hadn't treated a woman this well since, well probably since his marriage when he actually felt the need to pleasure a woman.
He felt his body respond as Kate opened her arms to him gesturing for him to join her. He crawled into the bed next to her and felt her scoot across the bed and into his arms. She kissed him deeply running her hands all over his body. He was surprised by the hunger she was showing when she had just come twice.
"You should sleep Kate, it will be time to get up before you know it" he said running his hands through her wet curls. She looked up at him and Jack chuckled at her discontent expression.
"No sleep, not yet" she said with a pout that made his grin grow wider. Before he knew it she had eased herself on top of him and was running her hands through his chest hair. She bent her head and whispered into his ear. "I want to ride you" she said sensually and Jack found himself hardening instantly. She giggled and gripped him in her hand and gently began to stroke him and he groaned in pleasure. Kate couldn't take her eyes off of him as he literally grew within her grasp. She bit her lip knowing at some point she knew she wanted to stroke him with her hand and watch him come. But not this time, this time she needed him in deep when he released within her. She eased up onto her knees and gently lowered herself over his hardened member and both groaned as she sank down sending him deep inside. Jack gripped her waist firm and held her still as they both adjusted to their position. Soon Kate felt the instinctual urge to move so she began to gently ride him working him up and down. Jack let her set the pace and set his thrusts to coincide with her movements. Kate bit her lip and whimpered because she had never felt this filled before. Jack quickly sat up and held Kate close and their eyes met together in a deep and intense gaze. They stared at each other as they continued to move against one another. Kate leaned forward and pressed her mouth against his and they kissed in between thrusts their lips grazing each others gently. Kate gripped his shoulders tight and continued to move against him and she felt his mouth press against her neck. She felt his hot lips and tongue begin to suck on the pale skin and Kate realized he was marking her. Kate always had hated it when Sawyer tried to give her hickeys but with Jack for some reason it was different. She felt primal and wanted to be marked by her mate. The action of it caused a hot sensation rush through her body and she began to thrust and ride him harder.
He knew it was stupid marking her like this as if she was his to brand, but he was claiming her and dammit while she was in his bed she fucking belonged to him. He sucked harder and heard her whimper but it wasn't in pain but in pleasure so he continues sucking on her while pushing up deep inside her. He felt his body beginning to tighten within her and he knew he was going to come soon. He flipped her over on to her back still keeping them connected, him deep inside her and his mouth still working her neck. Kate let out a moan at the sudden change in position but adapted quickly wrapping her arms and legs around him as he thrust hard. Kate began to writhe and moan beneath him but Jack was shocked to see she not only had her eyes open but she was intent on holding his gaze when he pulled away from her throat. He moved harder and faster and she bit her lip but still kept the eye contact. Jack allowed himself to get lost in her eyes and soon he felt her tightening around him and screaming his name. Before she could even finish he was gritting his teeth as his body shook and exploded. They both eventually gave in to their pleasure, eyes closing and breath catching as their worlds shook. Soon they both came down and Jack eased onto his side so not to squish her. She stayed close burrowing her face into his neck and slinging her leg over his. She placed tiny kisses along his collar bone.
"You marked me" she said but there was no anger in her voice just mirth and amusement.
"Sorry about that" Jack said though he really wasn't.
Kate giggled, "No you're not, and its ok I'm not sorry either." With that she yawned and snuggled closer to him and he placed a gentle kiss on her head.
"New Orleans" she whispered sleepily.
"What?" he asked stroking the hair off of her face.
"It's where we should go, New Orleans. I've always wanted to go there" she said with a sleepy sigh and then she drifted off to sleep.
Jack felt his heart settle in his chest like a brick. If she wanted to go to New Orleans then that was where she would go. Now he just needed to figure out how to tell her she would be going without him.
Ok I'm sorry I was really tired when I wrote this so if its crap I apologize. Also Happy New Years everyone
