Chapter 4 : Three's A Crowd

She quickly ground back down on him, assuring him that he was very much alive and very much in need of what was about to happen. He wasn't going to rush her, but he was sure as hell gonna help her along a little, his hands came up to open the button on her pants, undoing the fly. He pulled them down as far as he could, in the position they were in. He wanted her out of her pants, but he didn't wanting her moving away from him either.

Kate took his cue. It took quite a bit of wiggling and shifting, but she got her pants off and in the floor, as quick as she could. Lowering her body back on his carefully, letting out a little gasp, as she felt his hardness though the towel.

Sawyer in turn, grabbed her ass, pulling her in harder towards into him, the sight of her there, on him, in only her bra and panties was driving him crazy.

He pulled her down to him, studying her beautiful face. His finger tracing its way down her jawbone to her chin, tipping it up and pulling her closer, to lightly trail kisses up her neck to her ear, lightly nipping at it. "You know how long I've wanted this?" he whispered in her ear.

"Tell me," she whispered, closing her eyes, the lust was getting to her.

"Since that day in the jungle, when you pulled that gun off me. And I know you've wanted it for a long time too. Since that day in the jungle, when you kissed me," he whispered, looking into her eyes to gage her reaction, "You know that was more than one little kiss, right?"

Kate just smiled, placing her lips on his. His hands coming up to the sides of her face, tangling his fingers in her hair. She shifted on him a little.

"God, you are trying to kill me aren't you?" he said with a moan.

"No," she whispered, smiling at him, "The things I want from you, I need you alive for."

Meanwhile, on the beach.

Jack and Ana-Lucia talked about what had been happening since they landed on the God-forsaken island.

"Something wrong, Jack?" Ana asked, "No offense, but you act like you're out in freakin' la-la land, today."

"Ah," he muttered, "It's nothing." He was lying of course. "I better get back to the hatch, relieve Kate, she's been watching Sawyer all day."

"How is the redneck?" she asked, even though she really didn't care.

"I think he'll be fine, just needs some rest. It'll just take a little time," he responded.

"Great, talk to you later, Jack," she said, looking out at the ocean, taking another little swig off her tequila.

"Take care of yourself," Jack told her, "If you need anything, I'll be around." Ana gave him a little nod and Jack started his walk back to the hatch. What could he have told Ana? Well, today in the jungle Kate kissed me and I think I might be in love with her. Nah, not really something you tell someone you don't really know. So he headed off towards the hatch. Not really to see how Sawyer was, but how Kate was. She had ran off pretty quick after their kiss today, he hoped she didn't regret it. He sure didn't.

Kate and Sawyer were taking their time. Touching each other all over. Their lips hardly ever losing contact. Kissing each other feverishly, even more so then that day in the jungle. Kate slowly pulled away, kissing him on the cheek and down to his neck. She lightly sucked on his Adam's apple, before trailing her kisses down his chest. She pulled the towel down, just a little, to place a warm, wet kiss in the hollow of his hip.

Sawyer shuddered. "Kate," he moaned, God, did he want to be in control of this situation.

"Shh," she said as she moved back up and over him, leaning down to his ear. "I want you, Sawyer," she whispered.

He didn't need anymore convincing than that. Their lips met once more and Sawyer's hands made their way up her back, deftly unhooking her bra and sliding the straps down her arms, it joining her pants on the floor.

They were both now panting and gasping for breath as they moved to lose the little bit that was still keeping them separated. She reached down, shimmying out of her panties, pulling the towel off him. Sawyer couldn't do anything but lay there and watch her as she stripped them both, in awe of how gorgeous she was. She settled back down on him, waiting for him to take the final step.

Sawyer pulled her down to him, kissing her slowly. He pulled the blanket up over them, surrounding her with warmth. His hands trailed lightly down her back.

They were both breathing so hard that neither heard the door creak, but Kate caught a little movement out of the corner of her eye. "Jack?" she was caught off guard.

"Now why the hell do you have to go and mention that bastard?" Sawyer snapped, "When we're naked and just about to….." Kate cut in.

"No, Sawyer," she said giving him a very serious look, "Jack."

"What?" he said looking over at the doorway to see a very surprised Jack.

Neither could move, they were both completely naked, and it seems as though Jack couldn't move either. He stood there looking at them, sadly.

Then, he opened his mouth like he was going to say something, but then he just turned and left, shutting the door behind him.

Kate looked back at Sawyer. "Oops," he said with a chuckle, slightly pleased that Jack had walked in on them.

Kate rolled her eyes, she couldn't go running after Jack right now. He was already hurt and she really didn't want to make Sawyer feel bad too. "Things are going to be very awkward around here," she said, burying her face in his neck.

"Why? He knew we made out," he said. "Somethin' you ain't telling me, Freckles?" he asked. He figured the Doc was too nice to even try anything, so what could it have been?
