Ok, here's the Jack/Kate chapter. It's not much, I know, but it's all I could come up with for now. I love them, really, and will probably end up doing more later.
"You bit your nails?!" Kate is amusedly incredulous in the dark by the campfire, rubbing Jack's fingertips with her thumb.
His head shakes as he searches for words. "Look… it's a touchy subject, ok! But yes, I do have a bit of an oral fixation."
Rolling her eyes and smirking, Kate strokes the raw skin next to his cuticles. Pulling herself onto his lap, she stares into his eyes.
"You worry too much, sailor," Kate murmurs while locking Jack's hand in hers and kissing the corner of his mouth. He smiles in her tongue while she wishes his worries away.
"Your toes are frozen."
"Well, that's what I get for walking in the rain," Kate laughs, poking her feet in between his legs. "And it's your lucky job to warm them up."
Jack blushes furiously, all too aware of the strategic placement of cold appendages. "Stop being adorable, you're a distraction."
"And boy, do you need one, ever." Kate pats his cheek with a damp hand. "C'mon, I found the most beautiful grove about a half-mile north." Grasping his hand, she pulls Jack to his feet. 'We could even swim, if you want. The water's beautiful!"
He sighs. She's irresistible.
"You know what I miss most?" Kate gasps, slightly out of breath as they trek through the jungle, hunting for fruit.
Jack mops his sweaty forehead, and glances at her with a grimace. "Dare I ask?"
"Mattresses," she replies with no hesitation. "I mean, a year of sleeping on the ground get you used to it, but sometimes I wake up with my back on a root, and I'd kill for my waterbed."
"You had a waterbed?" Jack inquires, amused.
"Don't ridicule me," Kate laughs, placing a finger over his mouth.
"Payback for the fingernails," he grins, and bites her.
Yay, for oral!fixation Jack. Claire and Charlie and maybe one more Jack/Kate coming up soon.
Ta.
