Choosing

"Freckles." He smiled looking up from his book.

"To what do I owe this honor? So late in the night I might add…" He asked putting down the book.

Sighing she walked into the tent. She couldn't even look at him. It was hard to look at anyone anymore.

"I need to talk to you about something." She nearly whispered.

"Oh…I see you now you wanna talk." He said looking away with a sly smile.

Kate rolled her eyes trying not to be fueled by his remark.

"I came here to tell you I'm sorry about earlier." She said.

"What your conscience eating away at you again? So you thought it only best to come and apologize." He threw in her face.

She was about tired of his sassy remarks and comments. She was coming in here to be honest and all he could do was make a joke out of it.

"Look Sawyer! I came here to make things right behind us and all you can do is be an ass!" She yelled making the whole camp aware of their conversation.

"Good night Sawyer!" She finished before turning and heading out.

That had gotten her nowhere. Like usual.

Before she could make it to the tarp his hand was around her arm and she was spun around to face him faster then she could realize. She was so close to him she could tell he had been drinking and smoking.

"Let go of me!" She growled in his face.

"You said you wanted talk let's talk." He smiled evilly as his eyes got wide.

She struggled against him under his anger filled stare. His eyes looked like globes of fire trying to burn through her. She swallowed hard trying to hold in her tears.

"You feel guilty about kissing me then sleeping with dear ole' Jack. Right?' He questioned.

She said nothing, but kept his stare.

"Right?" He asked again pulling her closer and making his grip tighter.

"Yes! Yes! Is that what you want to hear?" She asked pulling away in guilt.

Sawyer backed off, but stood close.

"Yeah I did. " He breathed.

"But, I don't know why you need to be feeling so guilty after what I said." He sighed.

Kate looked over to him with narrow eyes.

"And what was that exactly?" She questioned.

"I said you don't have to choose between me and the doc." He reminded her.

She stared at him with a look of "unbelievable" written all over her body.

"I'm willing to share." He smiled slowly walking over to her.

Keeping her guard up she watched attentively as he came as close as he could without knocking her down. She looked up as he stared down. Looking deep into his eyes seeing that snickering little boy ready to pull something.

"So why don't you?" He asked in a low raspy voice that made him sound like he had smoked 20 cigarettes at once.

A voice that sent chills down her spine to her feet almost knocking her to the ground. She could barely hold her own being so close to him. She couldn't help but look away.

As she glanced up she seemed to be checking to see if he was still there. And he was. Still standing over her with that smirk and gaze that pierced her heart. Her heart that was racing a mile per minute. She had never felt this way. Of course she had been flustered a couple of times, but not in this sense.

She opened her mouth to speak but came up mute. Only a sharp exhale upon his neck.

"Go ahead share. You know you want to Freckles." Sawyer whispered.

Kate hesitated as she came closer. He was right she wanted to. She wanted to have that feeling again like that day in the forest.

Slowly she looked up to him peering down at her. His eyes had changed. They did have a look full of games. Now they had a look of seriousness. Closing her own she sucked in a deep forced breath. Opening them they met his before she looked down to his lips readying herself. There wasn't much more she could do, but do it. And she did.

Taking his lips she kissed him and he kissed her. Before they could catch themselves or their breath they were in each other's arms. Her hands wrapped around his neck and his clutching at her waist. He barely let her pull back for a breath before he pulled her into him. He seemed to need her more then she needed him.

Their mouths still together they managed to walk or stumble rather over to his bed. Bending one of his legs back to rest on the bed he slipped his tongue into her mouth to keep her mind while his hand moved to her shirt. Placing his hand easily onto her bare stomach she flinched back.

"Sawyer wait." She nearly moaned pulling away from his lips.

He sat there looking up at her standing in surprise.

"Wait what?" He asked offended and out of breath.

"I shouldn't do thi-"

He didn't say anything. He leaned over took her hand in his. Slowly pulling her towards him. He saw that want in her eyes, but there was fear in her body. She obliged by walking over to him, but she stopped at the edged of the bed. She wasn't supposed to go any further. She wanted to, but she wasn't supposed to.

He saw this. He knew she wanted to, but couldn't. He had never had so much trouble with a woman, but then again this wasn't just a woman this was Kate. Kate had her intrigues and misconceptions, but under all that thick skin was just a girl who wanted to be loved.

Gently tugging on her hand he got her to kneel next to him. That was good enough for him at the moment. Sitting up closer to her he leaned into the crook of her neck. Pausing a mere inch for her skin he stayed there just aggravating her and then slowly he moved to her ear.

"Don't be afraid Freckles. I know you want this." He whispered in that raspy voice as he moved in to his nip at her earlobe.

She closed her eyes slowly as he did it again. She cursed him under her breath for doing this to her. Dammit he had his lips up on her neck sucking sweetly at the tender skin. She had no choice, but to give in. Give into her self and Sawyer.

Slowly she pulled back looking down at him. There were no words for how she felt about him at that moment. She watched as his hands came up to her shirt. There was no opposition as he pulled it up over her head. Dropping it to the ground he again took her hands in his and put them to his shirt. She got the hint.

With shaky hands she began to unbutton his shirt. As she ran into problems with nervousness he took over by simply pulling it over his head and letting it fall to the ground. Turning back he was struck with surprise as she was unbuttoning her pants. He sat perfectly still watching her with excitement as she slid them down over her legs and kicked them off.

He saw her swallow hard as she turned back on her knees. Still sitting where he did he didn't move or make a noise as she slowly straddled his lap. He didn't wanna scare her when at the moment he was on the verge of the emotion. Sitting up to bring his body closer to hers he kissed her. Wrapping his arms around her body he didn't pull her close, just inched up to the back of her bra.

Becoming an expert at this he took it off within seconds. Sliding it over her chest he let it fall between them as she stared down at her bare chest. She looked to be amazed at her own body when in fact she was amazed that she had let it go this far.

Looking up her hair fell to her chest. Sawyer wanted to look up to her, but was too caught by her breasts. He had always been a breast man. Extending his hand he brushed away her hair and it fell against her arm. Leaning in he brought his mouth to her chest. As he kissed her, her head fell slightly back and to the side.

"Sawyer." She moaned as his stubble lightly grazed her skin.

Staying there for only a moment he worked his way up to her neck and to her lips again. Taking them with a sweet whimper from deep in her throat. As he kissed her he slowly pressed his chest to hers feeling the heat between their bodies.

"Kate." He groaned kissing her again.

Kate. He rarely called her by her name. It was always Freckles or some other smart-ass nickname. Why did her call her Kate? She always expected if they did have sex he'd stick to the cute nicknames. But she had never really thought of it in depth. Why was she now? Was it to divert thinking about what was going on? She couldn't divert it forever no matter how hard she tried. Sooner or later she had to realize she was having sex with Sawyer.
