Ponyboysgirl1: Hey, glad you liked the idea so far. And I can assure you that there is a LOT of Charlie and Claire in the next chapter. Enjoy!

Lostlorezno: I know, they chapters are coming up past. I've enjoyed writing them a lot, and so far I haven't had much writers block, so that's probably why. Lets hope it stays that way. I have heard about the writers being sued, and I've also heard that a female on the show is going to die, though from white I've read, Claire's name was never mention. I really hope its not her, although as much as I hate to admit it, the idea dose sound interesting. But nonetheless, I would be royally pissed if they killed Claire off. So far, I'm hopping its Kate, although, since she's a main character, that's a bit unlikely. My theory is that it will be one of the new female joining the cast. But there's no way to really tell. I just hope its not Claire. But, back to the fic. I was a little nervous about putting out a sexual fic because I've never written one before. But sadly, that's usually the kind of fics I read, and I'm hopping to put many more out. If the Charlie and Claire action goes well, I might put in a few other pairings. And I do plan to give Sun a dare in one of the later chapters. Since Jin's her husband, logic would put them together. But who knows? Nothing wrong with switching things up a bit. Especially in a fic where one of the chapters is refereed to as a "pornographic soap opera" witch is what this whole thing had turned out to be. If I could, I would put that as the title. And although JS standing for Jack and Sawyer would be very amusing, I don't think I'm ready to take that kind of leap just yet. Well, this is getting way to long, so I'm going to wrap it up. Enjoy!

Stark Wars

Contradiction

Part of her wanted to smack him for being so cocky. But another, more demanding part wanted to jump on him for being so damn hot about it. She split the difference and went with the side of reason, sighing lightly and agreeing to his terms in an adult-like fashion. "Your gonna pay for this, Charlie Pace" She confirmed, giving him an annoyed glare as she stood before him.

"I sincerely hope so" He replied playfully as he rose to his feet, standing less than and inch away from her. When he spoke, he leaned in, so that his nose bumped with hers. It was adorable and aggravating all at once. Then again, that's pretty much Charlie all together. Claire denied it. Pretending that the little jester had no effect on her what so ever. Acting as if it didn't make her cheeks red, or her stomach quiver, or her knees shake. But Charlie could tell, no matter how calm her expression remained.

"Well? I'm waiting" He muttered after a moment, speaking in a low, husky tone. The urge to smack him rose once more. But instead, Claire followed the higher path, and leaned forward, gently pressing her lips against his. High, was defiantly the right word. She could feel it rush trough her as soon as her lips meet his.

It wasn't what she expected. With all the innuendo and suggestive hits, Claire had expected passion. Raw, untamed heat. But as usual, Charlie gave her a surprise. Despite the little growl in his voice, and the way she could feel the heat from his body rolling off onto her own, or the little spark she caught in his eye just before she leaned in, he remained gently. Soft, sweet, and gentle. A perfect contrast to all the tension that had secretly been building up inside of her ever since the thoughts that had concurred her last night.

Their lips parted with in a moment, a smile working its way onto both of their faces. Claire slowly opened her eyes, instantly meeting with his. They were dark and intense. What some may call smoldering. But beneath the fire lied something else. Something innocent. A child like quality that Charlie always held, no matter how he was acting. No matter what he did, it was always there. That little quirk of innocence that made it impossible to hold anything against him.

She heard the page rip in one clean break, and felt the small, crinkled sheet of paper being placed in her hand. "How many pages are in there?" Claire questioned, glancing down at the single piece of paper in her hand. "I'd say about fifty" He estimated with a shrug. Claire sighed. "This is going to take a long time, isn't it?" She questioned, already knowing the answer.

"Yep" He nodded, reassuringly, biting his lip just lightly. Claire felt her knees go week once again. She closed her eyes, and pulled her mouth to his once again. This time, throwing in a little more passion. Her hand brushed across the side of his face, running back behind his ear and racking her fingers through his messy blonde hair.

He could feel her finger tips twitch lightly when they reached the back of his neck, and knew she was enjoying it just as much as him. Their lips parted once again, breaking with a small gasp of air from both sides. Claire pressed her forehead against his, taking a moment to gather her thoughts. At the moment, she didn't seem to have any. All she could think about was Charlie, and the tingly feeling she had all over her body because of him.

It was breath taking. At home, this kind of public display would have been out of the question. Claire was shy, rather she tried to be or not. Especially when it came to sex. She had a very old fashion mind set about it. Sex remained in the bed room. Never venturing out into any exhibition type places, let alone any other room in Thomas's apartment.

But with Charlie, they could be on the middle of the crowded beach, and if he gave her that look, or that smile, or that kiss...she'd be all over him. No second guesses. His nose bumped hers, grabbing her attention. She looked up into his eyes, forehead still pressed together. His thumb gently grazing the side of her cheek.

"I love you" He whispered, an animal like growl in his voice she had never head before. It wasn't menacing, it was passionate. A low growl from the pit of his stomach. It made her toe's curl. But that didn't mean she was gonna give in. This was still a game, and Claire planned to win. So she looked into his eyes, extinguishing the fire that burned in them so brutally, and asked "Second page, please"

The smile that curved on full little mouth was infuriating. Charlie's smile dropped instantly. She heard another page rip with one swift movement, and shoved it into her hand, taking hold of it after ward, squeezing the two wrinkled sheets of paper between them as his lips captured hers. There was the fire that he had neglected to show before.

The kiss was brutal. Deep, heavy, coaxing. Forcing her to open up to him in all sorts of ways. No man had ever been allowed this much control over her body. Claire would never let them take this kind of advantage. But as Charlie let go of her hand, the papers fluttering to the ground as it moved up the side of her arm slowly, sending chills up with it as his hand reached her shoulder, gripping it tightly, pulling her towards him.

Claire threw her arms around his neck, letting her hands rack through his hair. His hands left her arms and moved on to better ground, sliding down the curves of her side, moving the heavy fabric of his hoodie along with his hand, knowing full well that she was practically bare underneath.

Their lips parted with shards of breath escaping. Claire was suddenly surprised when his hands dropped from her hips, and he slipped out of her arms with ease. She opened her eyes to see he had taken a few steps back, a cat like grin on his face as he ripped off another page, keeping his eyes connected with hers all the while. Claire crossed her arms.

"Here you go, luv" He explained, holding up the rectangular sheet of paper between his pointer and his index in the same way you would hold a cigarette. "Come get it" He instructed, a playful smile on his face as he backed away from her. Claire let her arms drop to her side as she moved forward, catching up to him in no time. Once they were less than a foot away, she reached for it, already predicting that he would pull it back. She was right.

"What now?" She questioned, exhaustedly, making another grab for it. She managed to grab hold of the paper, but couldn't pry it from his fingers. "This is taking a bit to long" He explained, holding the paper firmly between the two designated fingers, keeping a steady eye contact with her. "Oh?" She questioned, raising a teasing eye brow. Charlie nodded.

"So, I'm thinking I should raise the price" He explained, pulling his arms tight around her waist. That child like quality was fluttering back. In the past ten minutes, he'd gone from infuriating, to tempting, to gentle, then to firry and now he was back to acting like a toddler. The whole thing was quite exhausting. Claire was worried that she might have trouble keeping up.

But she couldn't help but smile when he nudged her cheek with his nose and dropped a quick kiss on the edge of her lips. "Come on" He insisted a moment later, not taking any time to let her recover as he dropped his arms and grabbed hold of her hand. "Where are we going?" Claire questioned, stumbling behind him as he lead her away towards the rocks of the waterfall.

"Well, if this game is going to keep going, I don't wanna take any chances of being interrupted" He explained, leading her up the rocks. Claire was a little nervous. With all the fallen she had done today, climbing up a big mound of sleek rocks did not seem like a good idea. But Charlie held her hand tight, and flashed her an encouraging smile over his shoulder about every five seconds, and somehow, she managed.

About half way up the sparkly gray mound, he leaned her closer to the spot where the water fall came roaring down. Claire looked at it hesitantly, watching the cascade of white whispers crash down past the rocks, then back at Charlie. "Come on" He insisted, putting his arm around her. Claire followed hesitantly, allowing him to guide her over to the fall. They ducked under the wall of water for about half a second, before they made it into the dark, secluded little cave on the other side.

It was dark. The only light that came in was that witch shined through the waterfall, reflecting its wavy liens across the shiny black rocks behind them. It was beautiful. The water left them completely hidden, blocking out all the sights and sounds of the world that lay on the other side. Right now, all that existed was them.

"Oh my god" Claire gasped, hearing her voice echo of the walls. She glanced over her shoulder to see Charlie right behind her, a triumphant smile on his face. "Nice, huh?" He noted, looking around the room casually, the way one may look at an apartment when showing it off to someone new. Claire nodded, a laugh escaping her lips.

"Oh" He spoke up after a moment, a thought popping back into his head. He held out his hand, witch still held the white sheet of paper. Claire reached out and took it into her palm, flashing him a contempt smile as she slid it into the pocket of his coat. God her smile was gorgeous. Her teeth practically glowed, especially against her dark background. She leaned her back against to rocks, the water reflecting on the hoodie the same way it did on the rocks, making her blend in fairly well. Though, her light skin and flowing hair still set her off pretty well.

Charlie smiled, watching adoringly as she crossed her arms just beneath her chest, looking around the little cave aimlessly, taking it all in. The hoodie was to big, and wasn't exactly staying on right. It had dropped off her shoulder on one side, revealing a think black strap that screamed out against her softly, lightly-collered skin.

Charlie's eyes were fixed on it, watching the dips in her neck shift as she breathed. Following a tiny drop of water with his eyes as it fell from a curl of her hair, landing on her collar bone and gliding its was down. Studying her every unconscious movement with extreme detail. Claire's cheeks flushed, fully aware at the way he was starring at her.

She laid her palm over the bare skin of her shoulder, hiding it from his view so that he may focus on something else. The attempt worked. He snapped out of his daze, eyes lifting to meet with hers with utter admiration, sparkling in ways she'd never seen before. Her breach caught deep in her throughout. She could feel her own heart fluttering beneath her hand.

She let out the breath, slowly, keeping her eyes on Charlie as he began to walk towards her. He buried his head into neck, his mouth devouring her throat. Claire let her eyes fall shut, running her fingers through his hair. She could feel a new wave of heat rushing through her body. "Oh god.." She muttered softly, breathing out the words beside his ear, and feeling him shiver in reply.

"Its Charlie, actually" he corrected, playfully, smiling into her neck. Claire couldn't help but laugh, trolling her head back so her that the back of her head rested against the rocky wall behind her. Charlie pulled her closer to him, feeling her chest move against his as her short burst of laughter escaped, lifting his head from her neck to look over her face. Catching a glimpse at that magnetic smile.

He leaned forward after a moment, once her eyes had closed and the smile had faded lightly. He bent his head, placing a kiss on her chin, gradually trailing them down the center of her throat in a straight line. Claire let out a gasp as his lips reached the space between her collar bone, gently nipping at her skin. Her arms rest gently around the his neck, hands racking through his messy hair, enjoying every moment.

Charlie smiled triumphantly against her chest, letting his hands glide over the curve of her hips, feeling her shiver in response as they glided down her bare legs, then back up again, slipping beneath the him of his hoodie and moving over her bare stomach. He couldn't help but grin, feeling her hands grip at the back of his shirt, holding on tight to keep herself from dropping to the floor.

She was breathing heavy. Letting out a little whimper as his thumb grazed across her stomach, just above her panty line. After a moment, she felt his hands leave her skin. She opened her eyes as he pulled one arm tight around her waist, arching her back away from the wall. She watched his other hand as it trailed up the black material of the hoodie, gliding it was up her stomach, skimming over her breast, and taking hold of the little silver zipper.

He kept his eyes on her face, watching her let out a gentle breath as he slowly pulled the zipper down, revealing the mostly bare skin beneath inch by inch. It seemed like a century past before the zipper was finally undone, and the two side of the hoodie split apart, leaving a clear strip of skin from her neck down to her panty line, not including the tiny black strip that showed from her bra.

He kissed her jaw bone gently, letting his hand sleep beneath the fabric, casually brushing it away with his wrist as his fingers glided across the skin of her stomach, feeling her tremble beneath his touch. Claire gasped, hearing the sound echo against the wall around them in a dream like haze.

"I love you" He whispered once again, the bristles of his beard scratching the side of her cheek as his words flooded her ears. She shivered, desperate to have him touch the places his voice traveled. Charlie stared with wide, nervous eyes as Claire's hand slid over his, her thumb gently rumbaing his palm as she lifted his hand off her stomach and guided it further down.

At the beach...

Kate pushed her way through the trees, looking of the moistened sand that was still grayed by the rain that had now stopped completely. She walked across the cold, slushy sand to where she saw a small group of people gathered in one place. After being on the island for this long, Kate knew that was not a good sign.

She made her way over, peering over the crowed that had gather around Sawyer's tent, or at least, what was left of it. One of the post had broke, sending the white tarp walls crashing down one side. Jack emerged from the crowd, wiping a thick red substance off his hands with a white cloth as he made his way out.

"My god, Jack, what happened?" Kate questioned, the worry sweeping over her fast. Jack sighed, looking down at the red-stained cloth in his hands. "His tent collapsed" Jack explained in a cold medical tone, avoiding eye contact of any sort. "Apparently, he tried to run, but was trapped underneath the post. The beach flooded up to the trees. He almost drowned"

Kate stared back in disbelief, her hands laid over her mouth in shock. "When we found him, it was already to let. He'd lost all movement in his arms and legs." Jack continued to explain, his voice trembling slightly. "What?" Kate gasped, in disbelief, tears forming at the corner of her eyes.

"Just kidding" Jack assured after a moment, a smile crossing his face. Kate looked up at him in confusion. "he's dead"

"What!"She demanding, knowing now that he had to be kidding. Jack broke out into laughter, unable to keep up his act any longer. Kate shoved past him and found Sawyer sitting in his beach chair, entirely unharmed. "Hey freckles. Come to give me my get well kiss?" Sawyer questioned teasingly, arms resting behind his head.

Kate growled in frustration and stormed away from the crowed as they all began rolling with laughter, regretting walking down there to begin with.
Jack walked over to where Sawyer continued to relax in his beach chair, laughing still as he gave him a high five.

"Woo, dude" Hurly noted, watching the the two laugh together in confusion. Jack and Sawyer were enimies, that was a given. And yet, here they were, high fiveing each other over a job well done. "The worlds ending, isn't it?" He questioned, glancing beside him to Michele, who watched the scene curiously as well. "Yep. It sure is."

Back at the waterfall...

Claire felt another kiss on her temple as Charlie's arms tightened around her. He was doing it again. A moment ago he had her pressed up against the wall. Diving into her neck and undressing her in such unbearable torment. It had made her knees go weak, and her stomach flutter. Her whole body had gone warm.

Then, next thing she knew, they were both on the ground, his back against the wall of the cave and his legs out stretched, his arms wrapped around her upper body as she laid back against him, her bare legs curled up to keep herself from freezing to death from the near by falling water. And he was back to gently stroking the side of her face with his thumb and planting little baby kisses all over her face. The boy could not make up his mind.

Then again, Claire was in no way complaining. The contrast was nice. The fact that he switched the mood so often kept the whole thing interesting. She didn't know what would happen next. It was all very exciting. "You awake?" Charlie murmured, leaning forward slightly so that he could see her face.

"Mmm..." Claire nodded, slowly opening her eyes. She felt so comfortable, so relaxed. Falling asleep in his arms would be the easiest thing in the world. But with the way he'd gotten her all stirred up in the past...she wasn't exactly sure how much time had passed by now, but how ever long or short it was, he'd done a very good job. And Claire had no intention of falling asleep until that job was finished.

"This is perfect" She noted softly, her voice coming out in light, slow breaths, as if she had all the time in the world to make her point, simple as it was. "Yeah?" He questioned, nuzzling her cheek affectionately. "Mh,hm.." Claire nodded in reply, finding it hard to get out a full sentence. Her mind was to busy focussing on the movement of his hands on her skin, or the feel of his heart beat against the back of her shoulder, or the light scratch of his bearded against her cheek that made it all feel real.

Normally Claire would never dream of kissing someone with a beard. She'd never found hair on a man attractive. She'd always gone for the guys who kept everything clean cut, both physically and mentally. But as he was with everything else, Charlie was an exception. He was out of control, completely wild and untamed, as most rock stars are. But then there was the other side of him. The sweet, caring, gentle side that saved her life as well as the life of her child. All together, it made the perfect man.

"This is defiantly nice. Though I must admit, I'm feeling a bit over dressed" Charlie explained playfully, running his hand up and down the side of her arm. Claire turned her head to face him with a coquettish smile. "Aw" She pouted teasingly, tilting her head to the side as she brushed the hair out of his face. "Well...we'll just have to fix that, won't we?"

And with that, Claire shifted out of his arms, turning around completely until she was straddling his lap. Charlie looked up where with wide eyes. Claire's body blocked the light that was coming in from the fall, casting a shadow across his face so that his eyes appeared to be glowing against the dark tint on his skin. Dark, but bright. God, even his eyes contradicting.

But Claire smiled nonetheless, shifting her hips slightly in order to get comfortable, watching as his lashes feel shut and a small moan escaped his lips. He was leaning back against to things. One, a small black bag full of god knows what that he had been carrying with him, and two, his own black hoodie witch was balled up behind him for cushion. With himself propped up at an appropriate angle, and Claire's magnificent body on top of him, it was turning out to be quite the comfortable position.

A contempt smile crossed his face as he felt Claire's palms find their way beneath the him of his shirt, slowly sliding up his chest. He let out a breath of air, sucking it back in when she slid her hands back down, her nails just barely scraping across his skin. He shivered, his muscles twitching beneath her palms. Claire's lips twisted into a triumphant grin as she slid her hands out for under his shirt, and brought them up to his face. She leaned over him, cupping his cheeks in her palms, looking deep into his beautiful eyes.

Charlie remained completely silent, his hands shaking nervously as they rested on her bare knees. She smiled, dipping her head so her lips bet his, capturing them with ease. He was beginning to get a little nervous. Sure, he'd done this a thousand times with a thousand different girls. But this wasn't any girl. This was Claire. He had to be perfect. He had to make this relationship last. Loosing Claire would be fatal, and that was something he was not willing to risk.

Her hands dropped from his cheeks as she deepened the kiss, their mouths moving together rhythmically, in perfect harmony. Her fingers ran along the line of his neck, following down the caller of his shirt until she found the first button. Her lips broke away from his, and she straightened up once again. her hands resting at the top of his chest, where the buttons ran low.

Slowly, a cat like smile grew across her face. Sparks flickered in her vibrant blue eyes, and Charlie could feel his heart beat double its speed. She bunched the material of his shirt in her hands, holding it on each side. And with one swift movement, ripped it open. Charlie closed his eyes and let out a short, gathered breath, hearing Claire giggle in amusement, witch brought a smile back to his face.

"I always wanted to do that" Claire explained, laughing in embarrassment. "In that case, luv, your welcome to do it whenever you like" Charlie assured, and amused grin across his face as he let his eyes open once again, looking her over. Taking it all in.

She was wearing a sleek black bra, the material carrying a slight shimmer from the blue light around them. Her curly blonde hair tumbled down her back, and fell angelically over her shoulders. Her big blue eyes sparkled as she stared down at him, a hint of a smile across her full, luscious lips. All together, she was quite the sight.

"I could stare at you forever" He noted honestly, continuing to admire her as he moved his hands up the curves of her thighs, watching her shift on top of him in response to the movement of his hands. "Go right ahead" She replied, her cheeks going pink with embarrassment.

Charlie laughed moderately, watching as her hands glided their way up his bare chest, and spread out to rest on his shoulders, moving the thin fabric away so that his entire torso was bear. Charlie sat up slightly, propping himself up on his palms and pressing his forehead against hers, allowing Claire to slide the shirt off his shoulders, letting it glide down his arms with ease until his top was completely bare.

He lifted his hand to the nub of her knees, letting them glide up her thighs and hearing a little gasp escape her lips. Claire had amazing legs. Long, despite her height, slender but not skinny like most of the girls he had been with. He had never really been a leg man. As a matter of fact, he'd never really designated himself to any body part at all. But when it came to Claire's legs, he was becoming fond of them very fast.

His hands glided up her hips to her waist, pulling his arms around tightly so that their bodies pressed up against each other as he took her mouth as a hostage. Her hands slid back up his arms, feeling his muscles flex beneath her finger tips. With the way Charlie looked in most T-shirts, Claire thought he would be skinny. But to her surprise, he in fact had muscle. Nothing big or obnoxious, just a little added shape.

She rested her hands on his shoulders, rocking her hips gently out of pure impulse as his mouth devoured her own. After a moment their lips parted, loud gasps for air breaking the silence around them and echoing loudly off the walls. Claire pressed down on his shoulder, gently gaining him down onto his back. Charlie went with ease, resting himself back against the bulk of his hoodie and his bag, keeping his eyes glued to her's all the while.

Claire smiled lightly, letting her hands slide down his stomach once more until they reached the waist of his jeans. Charlie took a deep gulp as he felt her fingers slip under the material just barely as she carefully unbuttoned his pants and pulled down his zipper. He could feel the beads of sweet forming at his temples as Claire moved back up his body, placing a feather-soft kiss on the edge of his jaw. He stifled a moan and closed his eyes, feeling his hands start to shake once again.

In the jungle...

Sun and Jin walked side by side through the sparkling green jungle. The water from the rain made the oversized tropical leaves glimmer in the on coming sunlight that broke its way through the trees, making the entire island look extremely beautiful. Jin smiled admiringly, watching as she wife observed their surroundings.

He took hold of her hand, flashing her a little smile as he looked down at her. Sun blushed and looked away bashfully, a nervous little laugh escaping her lips. He laughed a little as well, his smile growing wider. She felt like a school girl again. Sweet, innocent, child like flirting. The fact that they were surrounded by flowers and flourishing tropic wild life didn't help much.

She'd missed this so much. Being able to walk with Jin in complete quiet. No arguments, no apologies. Just...quiet. And at the end of the day she would feel as if they'd had the best conversation if her life.

"Sun?" She heard him speak up, catching her attention immediately. Sun looked up at him, patiently awaiting for him to continue. For the expression on his face, she could tell he was going to say something important. Other wise, he wouldn't be hesitating.

"I...I love..you" He choked out nervously, struggling with the words. He'd been working on his English ever since he'd returned from the raft. Sun had been doing her best to help, though she had never taught him those particular words. Sun smiled admiringly, feeling her cheeks grow warm with embarrassment.

"I love you too" she replied softly, remembering why it was she loved him to begin with. After that, it was back to silence. Walking side by side, hand in hand, looking at the magnificent world around them. Away from all the other survivors and hassle that had become their island life. It was all so calm. So tranquil. She could stay in this silence with him for ever. Though, despite his struggle with English words, their little two sentence conversation was not half bad.

End of Chapter

Ok, there we go. The Charlie and Claire seen is lasting a very long time, as I'm sure you can see. I know its probably getting aggravating, leaving it in all these cliff hangers, but that's what makes shows like Lost so addictive to begin with. I hope you all liked the little Jin and Sun moment at the end. I've been meaning to put them but I couldn't find the right place. I'm trying to add as many different varieties of couples as I can. As of now, I've only gone with the obvious. But if there are any other pairings any of you would like to see together, let me know and I'll try to put them in. Well, that's all for now. Hope you liked it.
