I would just like to Thank you for the reviews! I always appreciate feedback so let me know what you think.


There were two desires that James Ford had in his life woman and money. One of those desires was going to be filled tonight when he would take the winnings from the poker game. This was not just any money, but this was Jack Shepherd's money which made it even sweeter. Sawyer and Jack had been in completion since childhood: fighting over girls, games, getting into fist fights. The two of them could make walking into a competition. Now that they were men it drove Sawyer crazy to be working for him, Jack made more money, had more power, enough sons to carry on his family name and now he had more wives. Sawyer was going to change all this as far as he was considered and Jack would not even see him stealing everything from right under his eyes.

When Sawyer saw her walking in the hallway alone with no one in sight his thoughts went to now that he was going to have both his desires filled tonight. A menacing smile crept onto his face, Sawyer was going to begin his overtake of Jack Shepherd by having his way with his new precious wife.

She appeared to be terrified, but that only aroused him more. Once he finally approached her he could see the tears streaming down her face and she was trembling. He then roughly threw her against the wall, his mouth making harsh marks on her neck, then he tore the fabric on her shoulders revealing her bare skin then he made bite marks on them. His hands found her fabric covered breasts and he kneaded them with a strong force. Blocking out her cries and he could barely hear her pleas for him to stop, but Sawyer did not care what she wanted. His whole being was over taken by his lust for not only her, but the lust of having what belonged to Jack Shepherd.


Desmond and Jack had just finished with there meeting, they were now headed to the poker room till two figures where seen in the hall. One was obviously Sawyer, but the woman could not be identified, because Sawyer was covering her from eyes view.

"I told Sawyer to cut back on fooling around with my maids." Jack said in a somewhat irritated tone.

Desmond chuckled at his friend's statement and the fact that Sawyer had to have his way with every woman that caught his eye. As they became closer Desmond shouted at Sawyer, "Hey brother fool around on your own time! We have poker game to play."

Sawyer jerked his head away at the sudden shouting of his name, revealing that the girl was Kate. Jack was shocked his whole world froze and everything went into slow motion. All he could see was her tear stained face and he was not sure if his hearing went out or if she just mouthed the words, "Please Jack make it stop." Her pleas brought back into his raged reality. At this point Jack was not thinking he was just acting grabbing Sawyer and forcing him into the ground. Jack could not even feel the pain as his fists collided with his face. They were now blood covered, but Jack kept pounding into him. It was not till Desmond pulled Jack off of Sawyer that the blows stopped.

"Jack you need to calm down. I understand what he did was horrible and unforgivable, but if you don't stop you're going to kill the man."

Jack was pacing back and forth he could barely speak, because of the anger that was consuming him.

"Desmond I want him gone! I'm going to take that son of bitch out of my house and throw him in the gutter and let him find his own damn way home and if he bleeds to death all the better!"

"Jack let me take care of that. You need to go comfort your wife."

He had forgotten that Kate was still in the hallway, she was curled up on the floor crying. It burned his eyes to look at her. It only made the blinding rage stronger, he quickly turned his attention back to Desmond nodded his head at him. Desmond then began to pick up Sawyer's battered body, who was barely conscious.

"Wait! Hold his head up so he can look me in eyes." Desmond did as he was told. Jack looked Sawyer right into his swollen eyes. Blood was dripping from his face and he could not stand on his own two feet.

"You are finished Sawyer! You're never to return to this house or the company! If I ever see you try and come back I will finish the job that I started! Oh and I'm getting my little sister the hell out of your house!"

Sawyer laughed in his face. "I would like to see you try boy. Now listen up close, because I'm going to tell you what is going to happen! I will stay away from your hideous house and your fucking company, but mark my words I will overtake you and have everything that you own. Your sons and wives will be my slaves. What I have in mind for your little cute wife with all freckles will make your skin crawl!"

Before Sawyer could keep going on Jack ran his fist into Sawyer's gut and then to his face, knocking him out cold.

"Get him the hell out of here!" Desmond did not waste anytime and began to drag his body away.

Jack then slowly walked back to Kate. When he approached her she was holding her arms up to be held by him, but Jack just stood there looking down at her.

"Where did he touch you?" his tone was cold.

"Jack please, I just want you to hold me."

"No damn it Kate you tell me what he did to you!"

Kate's words came fumbling out, "I don't know, I was just going to get some books to read then I heard a voice. I was so scared Jack I could not move or talk. Then the next thing I know I'm being thrown up against the wall and his hands were all over me. His hot breath, his mouth, his teeth on skin, then he tore my gown began biting on my shoulder. That is when you came nothing else happened. I promise." Kate at this point was choking on her sobs.

Jack then turned to the wall and hit the wall five times before he stopped. His back was still to Kate leaning against the wall and his breathing was slowing down. Kate just stared at his back as it would rise and fall.

Desmond returned breaking the trance the pair was in, "I took care of Sawyer. What do you want to do about the poker game?"

Jack stayed silent for while, still leaning against the wall. Before answering Desmond he looked down at Kate and into her sad green eyes. Then he bent down and he picked her up as you would a child. He held her tightly to him and Kate held onto equally as tight if not more so hiding her face into his neck.

Then Jack turned his attention to Desmond, "Cancel the poker game, I am in no mood to play. Tell Richard and Sayid that Sawyer will no longer be working for Shepherd Shipping. That he is considered a trader to us and the company. I will look for a replacement, but until then we must all work extra."

"As you wish boss and I'm sorry for the events that took place tonight."

"Thank you Desmond for everything. I shall see you tomorrow we will have much to work on."

Desmond then left to go inform Richard and Sayid of the changes that had happened.


Wordlessly Jack carried Kate to his room. Kate looked around in confusion, "This is not my room."

"I know I don't feel safe with you staying in your own room anymore. From now on you will stay in my room. My at home office is here and I will be able to keep you safer if you stay in my room."

Jack then carried her into the bathroom he drew a bath. Kate noticed the state of his hands, "Jack your hands."

He began to wash the blood off in the sink, "It is not as bad as it looks." Once the blood was gone, he turned to her and rid her of the torn night gown. He placed her in the warm bath washing away the events that had just taken place, but it only lasted a moment the bruises and bite marks were showing along her neck and shoulders. Jack wanted to kill Sawyer for what had happened, what could have happened and what Sawyer's final words to him were. Jack always looked after what belonged to him, but in this moment Jack made a promise to himself to protect Kate from anything in this manner happening to her ever again. Not in a million years would Sawyer be able to have is way with Kate.

Jack then wrapped his arms around her and brought his mouth to her ear he whispered, "Kate I'm so sorry for tonight, I should have been a better husband and protected you, but I promise to keep you safe and never let anything like that happen again."

Jack dried Kate off then placed her in one of shirts which was way to big for her. It somehow made her seem even more fragile to him. He tucked her in began to move away from her.

"Don't leave me! Jack Please!" Panic in her voice.

Jack was right by her side in seconds with his arms around her, brushing her hair in a soothing manner. "Shhh its ok, its ok Kate, I was just going to change. I'm not leaving you; I'm still going to be in the room. Is it ok that I go to do that?"

Kate nodded meekly.

Once Jack got in bed, Kate attached herself to him holding onto him as if he was the only thing that was keeping her form being taken in the middle of the night.
