Hey everyone. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to update. Life this week can only be described as hectic. Thank you so much for the reviews, it really means a lot to me because as long as people still want to read this I will keep writing. Ok so here we go onto the story.
Chapter 5
Kate slowly opened her eyes and sighed in pleasure as she remembered the last night's events. She snuggled down into the cushion and pulled the blanket over her nude body. She smiled as she remembered actually making it to the make-shift bed. She figured she and Jack had made love on every surface of the cave during the night. Kate suddenly sat straight up grasping the blanket to her. Where was Jack? Kate looked around the caves and looked at the entrance when she saw him. It was raining out and he was standing at the cave entrance with just his jeans on looking out at the jungle. Kate glance around and saw his shirt sitting near by so she climbed from the bed and scooped up the shirt and pulled it over her head.
She approached him quietly; when she came behind him she slipped her arms around his waist and placed kisses along his back. She felt him tense and then relax again. He pulled her hand up to his mouth and kissed her hand. He turned in her arms and faced her. He smiled at the sight of her in his big shirt. He wrapped his arms tight around her and buried his face in her hair. Kate let out a small sigh of relief because she was afraid Jack would push her away once again. She pulled back slightly and looked into his eyes.
"Hey" she whispered.
He smiled at her and tugged her close. "Hi, did you sleep well?" Jack asked stroking her hair.
Kate giggled "Hmm sleep? I don't know, every time I tried to rest someone would ravish me, keeping me awake. So I really only got like two hours of sleep. But to answer your question those two hours were very nice." Kate said leaning her head against his hand that had moved from her hair to her cheek.
Jack chuckled which sounded like music to Kate's ears. "I kept you up huh?" he asked teasing her. "I happen to remember bringing you to the bed so you could sleep and you insisted on making love because we hadn't christened the bed yet."
Kate blushed and snuggled close to Jack. "What can I say, it's not my fault you are absolutely irresistible." Kate said with a little smirk.
"Well that is true, there is no way I can expect a mere mortal like you to be able to resist the charms of someone like me." Jack said smiling back at her.
"Exactly" Kate said huskily. She reached up and pulled his head down to hers and they met in a deep and passionate kiss. When they finally broke Kate had to steady herself because the kiss had literally made her knees weak. Jack steadied her and looked at her concerned.
"Are you ok?" he asked, immediately using his doctor tone.
"Yeah, I'm fine it's just you kind of took my breath away." Kate said stroking the stubble along his chin.
"Come on, we still have a couple hours before we need to head back, let's go back to bed.." Jack said leading her over to the airline cushion. Jack laid down first and Kate crawled in leaving most of her body to lie on top of him. She snuggled in close to him with her face nestled into his neck right under his chin.
"I'm not tired" Kate said softly. "I mean I want to keep lying here in your arms but I don't think I can sleep/"
Jack ran his fingers through her hair caressing her lovingly. He shifted and pulled Kate closer to him and held her tight against his body.
"I think we should talk Kate." He said almost nervously.
"If you're trying to figure out how to break up with me nicely Jack it won't work." Kate's voice was muffled against his skin.
"I mean I think I should tell you about my past." He said nervously playing with her hair. He felt her stiffen for a moment and then relax again.
"Only if you want to Jack" Kate said softly. She lifted her head up and looked him directly in the eyes. "Just know that it doesn't matter what you tell me because I love you and nothing you could say could make me not love you." With that she snuggled back into his embrace and into his neck.
There was about three minutes of silence when Jack finally spoke.
"Nothing I ever did was good enough for my parents. When I was a kid they basically ignored me unless it was to call me out on something I did wrong. In that case they would just tell me what a disappointment I was." Jack said softly. Kate hugged him tighter feeling the pain in his voice. It made her want to find his parents and slap them until they finally saw what a good man Jack was. She knew his father had passed but that didn't mean she didn't want to give Jack's mother a piece of her mind if they ever got off the island.
"It's funny because everyone thought I became a doctor because I wanted to follow in my father's footsteps. That's untrue though, I just wanted to be a doctor. I knew that if I allowed my parents to pay for my college I would never hear the end of the comparisons to how great my dad was to how lousy I am. So I decided that I was going to pay my own way and then they would have no right to bother me. Also it was a way of showing I could do it without my father's help. Unfortunately college isn't cheap and I refused to take a single penny from my parents. So I went into the military. They would train me and pay for my schooling and I could even work through the armed forces as a doctor. I decided that this was the best plan for me, it would give me the opportunity to build myself up with no help from my parents and another way I could just prove to myself that I am worthy" said Jack.
Kate kissed his neck and whispered "You are more than worthy" Jack smiled at her kind and caring words and resumed with his story.
"So when I went in to the military I was surprised at how well it suited me, I felt at home at least what I believe what home should feel like. So when you go through training they watch for your weaknesses and your strong points and make recommendations as to what you should be doing. In my case I was very good at long distance firing and hand to hand combat. Later on after training was through, my supervisor called me into a meeting. It seemed they had a perfect job for me and they wanted to know if I wanted it." Jack said twirling her curls around his fingers.
"What was the job?" asked Kate.
Jack chuckled and I came out bitter. "Well I was a physician who wanted to become a full time licensed doctor and the military thought I would make a great assassin."
Ok I know this is a short chapter but I promise I will write more tomorrow but my eyes are closing and I'm getting tired so I'm going to post this now. So please please review so I know to keep writing.
