Chapter XXXI: How Jak Lost Something

Muse: (stares at chapter title) Is that honestly the best title you came up with?

LES: Hey! You're the one whose supposed to inspire me with chapter titles!

Muse: You suck.

LES: Well... the good ones where taken...

Muse: It lacks sex appeal.

LES: SEX! Of course! How could I forget SEX? Let's rename this baby! (erases title) "Conquests Of A Stud Monkey!"

Muse: Uh... maybe that's a bit much...

LES: (sighs and fixes hair) On a more serious note, there comes a time in every author's career when they must do something they've sworn never to do. Like the time I wrote about Jak and Daxter getting drunk and making out for a bet. (shivers) Anyway, this is one of those times. You won't even believe how long I've been planning this chapter! Seriously! It was being brainstormed and mapped out before 'Back To You' was even finished! The only other chapter that's been brainstormed longer is a chapter that's coming later. This chapter has been responsible for more late-night brainstorming sessions than any other. So, if you don't like lemons (explicit sex) then I suggest you fully skip this chapter. That being said... please go easy with your reivews. I don't ask that much anymore, but I wouldn't be able to handle flames on this chapter that I've worked so hard on. Well... enjoy!


Silence...

An empty room, with little more than a bed and a small restroom, waited for someone to occupy it again.

Quite suddenly, the room's wishes came true. The door slammed open and a young couple moved clumsy into the room. Clumsy because they were making out wildly, and neither was watching where the other was going.

It was Jak and Keira and he quickly took one hand off his girlfriend to close and lock the door. At the sound of the lock clicking, Keira pulled away from her boyfriend.

"Jak..." Keira said quietly. "I've missed you so much!"

"I know." Jak said soothingly. "But we're finally together again." He began to kiss her again, not only on the lips, but he landed kisses on every inch of her skin that he could reach. After a few seconds, he pulled away quite suddenly. "I won't let anything come between us again... I promise."

"I know." Keira said. "I love you."

Jak smiled. "God, I've missed hearing you say that in person." Jak pulled the she-elf he loved into a tight embrace. "I love you, too."

Keira pressed herself into his embrace, merely content to feel him there, to know that this was real, and it wasn't a dream.

They stayed this way for several seconds before Keira pulled out of Jak's embrace. You see, Jak's hands had developed a mind of their own so, without willing them, they had been moving down Keira's back until they were a little too low for comfort. And Keira, inexperienced as she was, had panicked.

A few seconds later, Jak seemed to realize what had happened. "Oh God..." He backed away from her. "Keira... I didn't mean to... It was an accident..."

"Jak..." Keira caught his attention. "Don't worry. It wasn't your fault. I shouldn't have panicked."

"No! I shouldn't have done anything to make you feel uncomfortable." Jak said.

"Jak, don't worry!" Keira repeated, taking a step closer to the elf. "I love you, more than life itself. And, when you love someone, you trust them." Another step. "I trust you, Jak."

"Keira?"

"I've known for so long how you felt about me." Keira said with a small laugh. "How could you not? You are a normal guy, after all. Ever since Carla's house, that day long ago, I've known what you wanted from me. Only... I was too scared. I was scared of where that would lead... of the consequences. Scared to take that step... even with you."

"Keira?" Jak repeated. "What are you saying?"

"What I'm trying to say is... I love you and..." A long pause. "I'm not scared anymore."

Jak didn't move for several seconds before he smiled lovingly. No further words were exchanged on the subject... only a silent agreement of love and lust.

He embraced her and began to kiss her, a slow, loving movement. They maneuvered over to the bed and fell onto it, Jak on top of Keira as they continued to make out.

And then Jak pulled away and tore off his trench coat, tossing it aside. Keira noticed that Jak hesitated slightly before removing his armor, tossing it aside with a loud clang, and pulling off his shirt, disregarding it also.

Keira couldn't help but marvel at her lover's body. It the years of combat had done one good thing, it would be that it gave Jak a toned and muscular body that was incredibly sexy. Jak smiled slightly at the look on Keira's face before he rejoined his mouth with hers.

After a few seconds, Jak pulled away slightly, lightly bit her ear, and then whispered. "It's your turn, now."

Keira didn't hesitate to pull her own shirt off, aided by Jak. After fumbling with the clasp on her bra for a short second, he managed to get it off and it was tossed aside to join the rest of the forgotten clothes on the ground.

Jak couldn't help but stare at Keira's body as she had stared at him. He was sure that he'd never understand the wonders of a she-elf's body. How was it that her skin could remain so soft when she spent most of her time working on zoomers and other machinery. Jak was sure he'd never know, and he really didn't care at the moment.

Then the first of many odd things that would happen that night happened. Keira reached up to wrap her arms around her lover's upper body, but Jak blocked her hands and moved them away from his back. But he made her forget this oddity almost instantly by pressing a passionate kiss to her lips.

Jak moved down from her mouth and began to nip and suck on her neck. Keira knew that he would leave a mark, but she didn't really care either. The feeling of skin against skin was overwhelming her senses. Everything seemed to be fogging and heating up. A knot was tying itself in the pit of her stomach, and it was driving her crazy.

Jak was in a similar position. His own lust was driving him equally crazy, it was quite literally pushing him over the edge. Finally, after what seemed like ages to the young couple, Jak pulled away one last time so he could remove the rest of his clothes and help her with hers.

Finally, after what seemed like ages, they were both completely naked. "Are you nervous?" Keira asked suddenly as he hovered over her.

"A little." Jak answered tenderly. He took her hand in his and pressed it against his bare chest.

Keira laughed. "Your heart's beating really fast."

"Keira... before we do this..." Jak said. "I want you to know that I love you, and I would die before I hurt you."

"I know." Keira breathed, running her fingers through her lover's hair.

There was a slight pause before Jak spoke again. "Say my name."

Keira stared at her lover in surprise for a second. He just smiled in embarrassment. "What?" She asked.

His embarrassed smile turned into a lazy one. "Say my name." He repeated. "I like hearing you say it."

Keira smiled, wondering if this was one of Jak's strange fantasies. If it was, it was the strangest one she's ever heard of. But she was willing to humor him, given the circumstances. "Jak." She breathed as he smiled and continued his loving caresses. "Jak..." As if the second time she said his name was the cue, he plunged into her, drawing a gasp from both lovers as their virginity died and went to hell. It would not be missed. He stayed still, giving them both time to adjust to the strange, but pleasurable situation. After a few seconds, Keira looked up at him, her eyes full of love and trust. "Jak..." She breathed one final time.

That was the cue. Jak rejoined his lips with hers in a hungry manner as he began to move to the ancient rhythm that is embedded in the blood of every elf. Not that it was completely perfect, by all means. This was their very first time, and it did lead to some rather embarrassing situations, and it did take a while to get the rhythm down. Another source of embarrassment was Jak's apparent vendetta against Keira touching his back. Every time she tried, he would stop and gently guide her hands away. Keira figured that this was one of Jak's strange quirks that she'd have to get used to. So she stopped trying.

But once they got used to the rhythm and each other's quirks, they were left to marvel at the pleasure assault on their senses. Only one goal remained: enjoy the feelings that intoxicated them to their fullest.

It seemed to the lovers, that an eternity had passed, and neither was sure just how much time passed when Jak drove the she-elf over the first pleasure peak.

She let out a cry as the pleasure rippled through her body.

Jak, upon hearing the cry that came from his lover's lips, pulled away in fear, afraid that he had hurt her. His own experience told him that when people cry out, it is because they are in pain. It was unheard of, to him, that people cry our in pleasure too.

Keira, however, was completely unhurt, and rather upset that he had pulled out. So she merely pulled him back in. "Don't stop." She breathed heavily.

"Are you sure?" Jak asked, gasping slightly.

"Yes."

So, he continued their love-making, and soon discovered why Keira had cried out like that. He felt the pleasure flow through his body and voiced his own cry of pleasure. But something in his instincts told him that this was not the climax and to keep going.

It seemed a lifetime had gone by... a lifetime that was filled with pure, intoxicating pleasure and love. Finally, the orgasm hit both elves full force at about the same time. Both lovers let loose howls of pleasure as the orgasm rippled through their bodies like wild-fire, a feeling that completely consumed them with its mind-numbing effects.

Finally, when the last of her screams died in his ears, Jak pulled away, panting heavily and sweating from the exertion of their love-making.

Keira gasped for breath, her heart still seemed to be going a mile-a-minute. Jak rolled off her and lay on the bed beside her, both remained silent as they allowed each other to recover from their love-making.

Keira pressed herself up against his sweaty body, just for the feeling of having the one she loved so intimately close. Jak looked down at her and smiled thickly, even as his chest heaved for breath. "I love you, Jak." Keira breathed.

Jak didn't answer verbally, he merely turned on his side and put his arms around Keira's body, holding her closer to his body as if she'd disappear if he ever let go of her.

Keira smiled and pressed her herself fully into Jak's embrace. She loved the way it felt when their bodies were pressed together, like two puzzle-pieces that fit together perfectly.

Then, listening to the ever-steady beating of Jak's heart, Keira calmly fell asleep.

Almost as soon as she fell asleep in his arms, the old walls broke down for the first time since he almost died of Dark Eco Poisoning, and he wept. But these were not the tears of pain or sorrow, but tears of liberation and joy. He thanked the Gods, though he wasn't even religious anymore, that he had met and fallen in love with Keira. And, even better, that she loved him just as much as he loved her.

It was then, with Keira's prone laying trustingly in his arms, that Jak swore to whatever god was listening that if anyone tried to tear himself and Keira apart, he would tear them apart! He'd make them suffer so much that hell itself would seem pleasant in comparison. If someone tried to take Keira away from him... he'd kill them.


(Morning)

Keira woke up slowly, and she smiled to herself as she felt Jak's warm body still there, his body heat surrounding her, reminding her of the heat and passion of the night before.

Slowly, she opened her eyes to find that Jak was already awake and smiling down at her. His smile almost made her melt. "Morning, beautiful." He said softly.

"Jak..." Keira stretched briefly, wrapping her arms around Jak's neck and playing with the stray hairs at the base of his head, something that Jak allowed. "You're still here."

"Of course." Jak said. "How could I leave you to enjoy this beautiful morning by yourself? Besides, I can't abandon the one I love."

"I think you proved just how much you love me last night." Keira said with a sexy smile.

"Oh! Last night!" Jak exclaimed. "Keira, last night was absolutely amazing!"

"I agree." Keira said, pressing her body up against him. "Last night is not a night that I'll soon forget."

"God, Keira, I can't ever fathom how much I love you." Jak said. "And I think it's safe to say that our 'we're just friends' or our 'brother/sister' relationships are officially over."

"I definitely don't mind that." Keira said. "I don't think I could be happy if you are anything but my lover."

"I can live with that... for now." Jak added quietly, mainly to himself.

"What?"

"Oh... nothing."

Keira stared at Jak. She was sure that he had just said 'for now.' Did that mean what she thought he meant? Did he want even more than this new level of love that they achieved last night? Could it be? Was he thinking about marriage?

Jak noticed the look on Keira's face. "Don't worry about that, my love." He said. "Let's just deal with the here and now."

"Hmm..." Keira smiled. "Sounds like a plan." She pulled the elf into a deep and passionate kiss, which he didn't protest in the slightest.

And then Jak rolled over slightly, positioning his upper body above hers. Once in this position, he moved away from her mouth and down her neck, nipping and sucking at her skin as he saw fit. Then he bit the sensitive skin where her neck met her shoulder, leaving a light bite mark over one that had been left there the night before.

Keira laughed. "You're so evil." She said with pretend anger as he continued to bite at her skin.

Jak stopped biting her and looked up at her. "I try." He resumed biting her.

Keira giggled, despite herself. "What are you, a vampire?" No response, only more biting. "Jak?" The biting didn't stop. "Jak! Stop it!" But there was no real anger in her voice.

Jak looked up innocently. "What?"

"Stop ignoring me." Keira breathed, moving his face away from her neck and back to her mouth.

Once Keira let him go, Jak pulled away with a sexy grin. "I'm never going to get you off me again, huh?"

"Not that you mind." Keira pointed out.

Jak laughed, a real laugh. "Guilty as charged." There was a pause. "Okay, not that this hasn't been fun, but it's time that we get up. I think our little disappearing act caused quite a sensation yesterday."

"I'm sure everyone is going to suspect what we've done." Keira said.

"Screw them." Jak said, giving her a short kiss. He started to get up, and then paused. "Keira, I know this is going to sound weird, but would you please look away?"

He was right, his request did sound weird. "Jak, I know what you look like." She said.

"Please, Keira, just trust me." Jak said.

Keira didn't say anything, she only looked away as Jak asked. Jak got up and quickly found his shirt. Pulling it on over his head, then he turned his attention back to Keira. "You can look now if you want."

Keira looked around and was surprised to see that the only article of clothing Jak had put on was his shirt. "Wow, that's a first. A man who's modest about his upper body, and not his lower." Keira said, but inside, she was troubled. That settled it. There was something about him that he didn't want her to see. Something about his back... But she wasn't about to press him about it. Keira looked on as Jak finished getting dressed.

"Who's room is this, anyway?" Jak asked.

"Don't worry, we didn't steal some random person's room. This is where I've been forced to live since your banishment." Keira said.

Then Jak voiced something that had worried him since last night. "What if someone... who know... heard us? That would be far more embarrassing than if someone just found out what we had done."

"Don't worry about that either." Keira laughed. "I overheard Torn talking the other day. These walls are completely soundproof. If there was an Ele-Beast stomping around outside this room, we wouldn't be able to hear it, or visa-versa."

Jak stared at Keira for several seconds. "That is, without a doubt, the best thing I've ever heard in my whole life!" Then he noticed that Keira wasn't getting out of bed. "Aren't you getting up?"

Keira laughed. "Last night, you couldn't wait to get my clothes off, and you can't wait for me to put them back on?"

"Not that I don't appreciate your body..." Jak said. "But you shouldn't walk around naked. I couldn't stand the thought of everyone seeing what only I've seen."

"Stop it, I'm joking." Keira laughed, getting up and beginning her search for her abandoned clothes.


LES: Once again, I remind you, this is the first sex scene I've ever written! See, that's how it ties into the title. What Jak 'lost' was is virginity.

Jak: Finally.

Muse: I thought the title was changed to 'Conquests of a Stud Monkey.'

LES: That was just a joke, though it does sort of fit. Okay, I know this sex scene was a little weird, what with Jak's taboo against his own back and the whole 'say my name' part. But I think these are key aspects of his character. I wanted to show Jak's slight obsession with his own name. And the back thing... I'll explain later. Well, that's it for me! Light-Eco-Sage, over and out!
