PART FOUR
It seemed like an eternity before they finally reached the entrance to the hatch. Kate practically co lapsed once they made it, her hair sticking to the metal as she leaned back against the door, chest rising and falling heavily with every breath.
Jack stopped a short distance from her, staring as she panted for air. Her skin was glistening with sweat, her thick brown curls matted to the wall. Her chest rising and falling, catching most of his attention.
It didn't take Kate long to realize he was staring, and knew that delaying intercourse any longer might leave him in some extreme pain.
Smiling shyly, she pushed herself off the door and turned, grabbing hold of the handle and pulling hard, keeping her eyes on him at all times.
Jack smiled as the door finally opened, glad to be one step closer to getting what he so desperately wanted. He closed the door be fallowed her as she quickly moved down the hall, practically bouncing all the way.
The walk down the hall seemed to last an eternity, and he was finding it harder and harder to keep his hands off of her.
Kate was pacing quickly ahead, and before she knew it, she was spun around and pressed against the wall, the heat from Jack's body pouring onto hers as he hungrily invaded her lips.
"Wait" She whispered, her breath falling against his face as they remained tight in each others grip. Jack didn't respond, he only tilted his head and began to devour her neck instead, making it hard for her to protest any further.
"Jack, wait. Someone might see" She explained breathlessly, clutching the back of his shirt which was wet with his sweat, her nails digging into his back. As hard as it was for him to pull away, he knew she was right.
He lingered before her for a moment longer, shuddering as her hands ran down his chest, not sure how much longer he could wait.
They parted slowly and headed down the hall, doing their best to look casual in hopes that who ever was minding the computer hadn't over heard their moment of weakness.
But as they turned the corner, they both stopped in their tracks, surprised to see the computer chair empty.
"Where's Locke?" Jack questioned with his eye brows furrowed, stilly slightly out of breath. "I don't know" Kate replied, searching the room in confusion.
At first she thought he might just be in the bathroom or off reading a book near by, but she soon noticed that the backpack he usually kept beside the computer desk was gone as well and began to worry.
"Something's not right" Jack stated, saying what they both were thinking as he stepped into the room, looking for any clues to Locke's whereabouts. It wasn't until he'd wondered about half way inside before he heard the sounds.
He stopped abruptly, a look of alertness on his face as he strained to listen, trying to decipher the noise. Kate read his expression and slowly fallowed him inward, the sounds beginning to surface in her ears as well.
They both paused for a moment, trying to figure out what exactly they were hearing. It started with the faint sound of breathing, as if someone was running, the noise growing with volume as they continued to listen. Then, the heavy pants turned into muffled cries.
"Do you here..screaming?" Kate questioned, not sure her mind was just playing tricks. Jack nodded in reply.
"They're probably in trouble" He stated, going into his emotionless medical tone, though a hint of disappointment showed in his face.
Kate nodded and they made their way across the room, putting their own needs aside in order to help whoever was in trouble as they headed down the next hall, in search of the source of the sounds.
As they made their way down the hall, Kate prepared herself for the worse. She imagined seeing some kind of struggle. An attack from the other's perhaps.
The sounds of struggling continued, which meant who ever was making them was still alive.
She wasn't sure what she expected to see when they pushed through the door, but the image she saw when they walked in were defiantly, defiantly not it.
On the pair of bunks where the two had planned to reside was another couple half way under the covers, unrecognizable from their point of view. It was, however, pretty clear what the couple was doing.
Through the beams of the bed that was shaking with their movement, glimpses of bare male back and a pair of feminine arms wrapped around it were faintly visible, and the sounds were now such a clear giveaway that the two almost felt embarrassed for thinking them to be caused by anything other then sex.
Once again, Jack and Kate were stopped in their tracks, unable to move by the shock of what they were witnessing. Kate knew the best idea would be to turn out the door and leave them to their business, but couldn't find the ability to move.
The moaning from the bed was rising in volume and it was pretty clear that the desperate couple was coming to their end. It was about that time when Kate took a step back, trying to get Jack attention so that they could leave.
She laid her hand on his chest, finding her hand a bit unsteady, and realized that, like her, he was mentally stuck.
It didn't matter much rather she could get him to snap out of it now or not, because the two in the bed had finished, and now, as they died down from their high, were likely to notice their presence pretty soon.
She knew that one wrong step, one simple movement could be enough to catch their attention and ruin what ever magical moment they had just shared. She tried to regulate her breathing as she began to panic, looking around the room for the best exit.
"Oh my god" A female voice whispered breathless from the bed. Once again, Kate froze. The male laughed softly and gave a little murmur in response that was muffled by something, probably the girls neck.
"That was amazing" The girl continued, her voice trembling slightly. It slowly dawned on Kate that the owner of the voice had a bit of an accent. A look of alarm crossed her face as she turned to Jack, who shared a similar expression.
"I know" Charlie's voice replied with a laugh, confirming their suspicion. Before Kate could even think to stop herself, a gasp escaped her lips. She quickly covered her mouth but it was to late. The couple paused, and Charlie slowly turned his head.
"They still aren't back yet, are they?" Jin questioned, taking a seat next to his wife. She sat inside Claire's tent, peering over the edge of the home made crib at the sleeping baby inside.
"Nope" Sun replied, shaking her head. It was getting to be almost evening. Neither had expected Claire to be gone for so long. She usually only left Aaron with them for less then two hours at a time, but she'd been gone most of the day.
"You don't think they're in trouble, do you?" She questioned, unsure if there was actually a possibility of danger or if she was just being paranoid.
"Sun, their parents aren't on the island. Who would punish them?" Jin questioned playfully. Sun couldn't help but laugh. "You know what I mean" She insisted, rolling her eyes.
"No, I don't think they're in trouble. They've probably just lost track of time" He assured, trying to be understanding of their situation, even if it was beginning to invade his own time with his wife.
"Your probably right" Sun nodded in agreement, trying not to laugh at the implication. "I'm sure they'll be back soon" He added, although it was more to assure himself then it was to comfort her. Sun nodded again, glancing back at the sleeping baby.
"And if their not?" Sun questioned, a playful tone to her voice.
"Then I guess we'll have to find something else to do in order to pass the time" He answered with a sly grin before leaning forward to place a kiss on her lips. Sun giggled, enjoying the rare occasion of Jin's playful mood.
"Jin, the baby" She whispered as a reminder, wondering how Claire would feel to find them making out inside her tent. He ignored her comment and moved away from her lips and began a trail of kisses down her neck instead, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Jin, we can't. I'm supposed to be watching Aaron" She insisted reluctantly, finding it suddenly difficult to even speak, let alone protest.
"He'll be fine" Jin assure persistently, pulling her onto his lap and letting his hand glide up her thigh.
"We really shouldn't be doing this" Sun noted, her voice shaking at the fault of his touch. A smile worked its way onto his lips as his hand slipped over her curves and made its way up her shirt.
"I know"
"What are you doing in here?" Charlie questioned, hiding behind Claire to conceal his nudity, since she had stolen the sheets to cover herself.
The two had been highly startled by Jack and Kate's presence, and literally fell out of bed in response. Now they stood panting heavily, messy haired and sweaty in their post sex attire, which was basically nothing.
"What are you doing in here?" Kate questioned, raising an eye brow as if offended. A frown crossed Claire's face at the aspect of being caught, her perfect bliss ruined by the intruders.
Her face began to flush and she wrapped the sheets tighter around her chest, feeling bare and exposed under their judgementle gaze.
"That's none of your bloody business! Besides, haven't you people ever heard of privacy?" Charlie questioned defensively, taking note of Claire's embarrassment and doing his best to fix it.
"We didn't even know anyone else was here! If we knew you two were going to be having sex then we never would have came in the first place!" Jack replied in self defense, trying to hide his new found disappointment once he realized that their plans were probably not going to happen.
"Well, didn't you hear us?" Charlie questioned curiously, his voice raising in annoyance. He saw Claire's eyes hit the floor and realized he probably wasn't helping much.
"We thought you were in trouble" Kate explained bashfully, look almost as uncomfortable as Claire. It was silent for a moment as Charlie and Claire slowly exchanged a glance at one another, the signs of amusements becoming clear in their face.
First the twitching at the corners of their lips, then a tight-lipped smile, then snickers, then full out laughter. Kate's face went red and she felt the sudden urge to hide behind Jack, who was trying his hardest not to laugh along with them.
The attempt failed miserably, which only forced Kate to join in, and soon the four were in a complete uproar over the ironic event.
Their laughter came to a screeching halt however when they became aware of Sawyer standing in the door way, staring at the group as if they 'ed all gone stark-raving mad.
"What the hell are you people on?" He questioned, eye brows furrowed in confusion. The group fell silent and it appeared that something fascinating was going on at the floor, because they were all suddenly staring down at their feet.
"And why are you naked?" He continued to ask, suddenly becoming aware of Claire's fashionable attire.
Claire's head snapped up with a look of alarm, and she clutched the sheets to her chest, chicks bursting again. A grin crept its way across Sawyer's face as he realized the opportunity at hand.
Before he could even think up some crude remark, Charlie put his arm around her protectively, making sure not to expose himself in the process.
Sawyer then caught on to the fact that he wasn't wearing much as well, and quickly realized what they must have been doing in order to put them in such an awkward position.
"Oh. I see" He noted, his grin doubling in size. Claire removed one hand from the death grip it held on the sheets to cover her face as she lowered in head in embarrassment.
"Alright. Everyone out" Charlie demanded, growing annoyed with their intrusion. This time was supposed to be special for Claire, and their presence had ruined it.
Jack and Kate seemed pretty willing, and the two slowly started making their way out. Sawyer, on the other hand, would not be so easily excused.
"You know, sunshine, If you were looking for some fun I would have been glad to help you out. You didn't have to settle for the guy who lied about his heroine and stole your kid" Sawyer noted, just for the fun of pissing him off.
"Do you want me to attack you while I'm naked? Cause I'll do it" Charlie threatened, willing to say anything in order to get him to leave. Sawyer just laughed.
"Calm down short stop. I'm only joking" Sawyer confirmed teasingly, and turned to fallow Jack and Kate back down the hall.
Charlie waited until they were out of sight before he let down his guard and turned to face Claire. A smile crept onto her face as he pressed his forehead to hers, his thumbs stroking away the red of her cheeks.
"I am so sorry" He explained apologetically, knowing how traumatic the event must have been for her. Claire laughed as she let her hands rest on his chest, starting to recover rather quickly.
"I'm just glad its over" She replied with a laugh. Charlie lowered his hands from her cheeks and wrapped them around hers, cradling them under his chin.
"I wasn't that bad, was I?" He questioned sarcastically, trying to calm her down. Claire giggled under her breath. "No. You were amazing" She assured, a hint of seriousness returning to her voice as she pressed herself closer to him.
"Yeah. I know. I was great" Charlie confirmed playfully, once again succeeding in backing her laugh. He placed a kiss on her forehead and let his lips linger there until she tilted her head back and lightly brushed her lips against his.
"Charlie?" She murmured, whispering against his skin. "Hm?" He replied, unable to speak any more with the trance she'd put him in. "Take me back to bed" She instructed, smiling as she pressed herself against him.
A grin crossed Charlie's face as he wrapped his arms around her, scooping her up and doing just as she asked.
