A/N: WOHAY! is letting me upload...hehe. And seeing as I was asked so nicely...or just ya know, shown a pic of a banana...here yas go. I hope you like it. I'm not too good with the smutty stuff - seeing as I don't have a lot of experience but...

"Hey." Kate greeted Jack as she walked out of the bush and towards the path he was standing on.

"Hi, shouldn't you be headed to the hatch?" He asked her, knowing it was her shift.

"Yeah, I'm running a bit late. Thought I'd take a shortcut, didn't pan out too well." Kate smiled, whilst Jack tilted her head and looked at her strangely.

"What, Jack?" Kate asked starting to walk down the path.

"Oh, nothing." Jack responded, catching up with her. 'Just that you're really beautiful, and I kind of like that…' he thought. "Mind if I walk you to the hatch, I was gonna try and use the shower."

"Sure, but we should hurry." Kate said and jogged on ahead slightly.

"How come you have so much energy, Kate?" Jack asked her, jogging along side her.

"I dunno, I'm just used to having to run. I push my limits sometimes. I don't have lots of energy though."

"We'll see." Jack mumbled.

"Hey Kate," Hurley greeted her as she walked into the hatch. "You're late."

"I know, I'm sorry, I took the wrong turn." She shrugged.

"Right." Hurley smiled, spotting Jack. "I get it, you got distracted by Jack." Hurley nodded.

"What, no. It's not like that, Hurley." Jack said.

"Yeah, he just came for the shower." Kate said moving over to the computer. "Now I'm here, you don't have to stick around…"

"Oh, I see." Hurley grinned. "I'll give you some privacy, I'll leave you lovebirds alone." And with that Hurley left the hatch.

"You know, he really annoys me sometimes. I just don't understand it." Kate huffed.

"Understand what?" Jack flopped down onto the couch.

"Why half the damn island thinks we are, or should be a couple." Kate frowned. "We're not giving off those vibes, are we?" She asked him.

"I don't think we are." Jack laughed. "There's nothing going on between us…"

"Right." Kate stared at him. "I thought you were here for a shower."

"Yeah, thought I'd keep you company too." Jack smiled.

"Jack, you don't have to do that." Kate shook her head. "Besides, if you're not going to have that shower I might just ask you to baby sit the button whilst I use it…" Kate smirked, and backed away from the computer and Jack.

"Oh, you wouldn't." Jack said, also standing up. "Besides, I had first dibs."

"Bah, I need a shower, anyway. I just might." Kate tilted her head to the side, and smiled mischievously. "I'll race you."

"You're on…"

"So, on three?"

"On three." Confirmed Jack. "One…two…" Kate started running. "Three." Jack sprinted after her, "That's not fair Kate, and you know it."

Just as Kate was about to step inside the bathroom, Jack placed his hands on her hips firmly. "I don't think so." He said, and lifted her up effortlessly, turning her around him, placing her back on the ground so that he was closer to the shower. "The shower's mine, and we both know that." Jack whispered in a low voice, as the words rushed past Kate's ear, she could feel his breath on the side of her neck, his hands were still on her hips, and she shuddered at the thought. "I'll see you after my shower, Kate." He whispered again, finally taking his hands of her hips, but stroking her silky smooth skin on the way, and ran into the bathroom shutting the door behind him.

He'd won. He'd won, and he'd had his hands, firmly gripping Kate to him, and he'd felt her shudder. Yeah, Jack was feeling good, except now, he was thinking, that after thinking of her, and if he planned to continue his line of thought, he might be in need of a refreshingly cold shower.

As Jack stepped out of the shower, he shook his head a final time, as if clearing all his thoughts, of Kate, away. Jack wrapped a towel around his waist, picked up his clothes and walked of the room, only to see Kate, wearing just a towel wrapped around her body.

"Hi…" Was all Jack could think to say. He'd just stopped thinking about her like that, and there she was, in all her glory, standing in just a towel, not leaving much to his imagination. She noticed that Jack was staring, and blushed slightly.

"Hey." Kate drew in a shaky breath, eyes raking over Jack's chest, and landing on the line of his towel. "I just thought, you know…it's quicker like this."

"Yeah." Jack gulped. "Me too."

"Right." Kate breathed.

"So, I'll watch the button for you, and you can go…" Jack couldn't continue the sentence, his brain would find that too hard, to say the word and not think of her in the shower, naked, with water streaming over her beautiful body.

"Right…I'll see you." Kate said, and ducked into the shower room.

"Well," Muttered Jack, "That was hardly awkward or embarrassing…" Just as Jack was about to step into his boxers and pants the alarm went off, so securing the towel, tightly, he headed off to enter the dreaded numbers.

As Jack made his way back to his clothes, he could hear the water running, and pictured her under it, he groaned slightly at the thought. Then he heard Kate shriek which alarmed him, and with the thud that followed he flew into the room.

"Kate, Kate, are you okay?" He said crouching over her, forgetting that she was completely naked.

"Yeah…yeah, I'm fine." Kate smiled weakly as she looked up into his soft, warm brown eyes.

"What happened? I heard you scream and a thud and…"

"I'm fine, Jack, honestly. The water was cold, and I slipped, that's all." She said sitting up slightly.

"Ok, I was just…you know, worried…" Jack admitted, sticking out his hand for her to take. As he pulled her to his feet, he suddenly remembered that she was naked, and he didn't think his towel would hold for much longer, before falling off. "So, I'll fix the temperature for you, and then leave…if you like."

"Sure." Kate shrugged, and moved to stand in the corner of the shower cubicle.

"Wow, I didn't know it was that cold." Jack marvelled, as he reached up to fiddle with the temperature dial. Kate blushed as his towel dropped to the floor, and she found herself staring at his well defined butt.

"Uh…Jack?" She asked, as she bent down to pick up the towel.

"Hmm?" Jack said still busy with the shower dials.

"Think you dropped something…" Kate smirked.

Jack looked down. "Oh…right." He grabbed the towel she was holding out to him. "You should test that."

Kate stepped under it, yelped slightly, and jumped towards Jack. Jack dropped the towel, again and placed his hands on her shoulders to steady her.

"Too hot." She smiled.

"Yeah…" Jack smirked thinking of something else that was hot. "It's a tricky bastard, took me ages to get it right earlier…"

"Right." Kate said and looked into his eyes. "You can…I mean…I can probably…fix it…" Kate said lifting one of his hands off her shoulder, as she moved to take the other off, he wrapped his free hand around her waist and drew her closer to him.

"So…I've been thinking Kate." He said in a low whisper.

"About?" Kate asked weakly looking up at him, very aware of how close and how very naked they both were.

"What we talked about yesterday." Jack grinned.

"Oh." Kate sighed. "That's why you didn't let go." She smiled up at him and he nodded.

"Yeah…and I was wondering…if…if…that offer…if…" Jack stumbled over his words.

"You wanted to test that theory out?" She looked up at him, a grin creeping over her face.

Jack nodded. "Just to see…if everything still works."

"Of course." Kate looked up at him, her eyes clouded over…in…in…desire. Jack smiled at that, and on impulse leant down to capture her lips in his. For a moment she appeared startled, but soon returned the kiss, and wrapping her arms around his neck, deepened it.

With their tongues still tangled, his hands around her body, and hers around his neck and in his hair, he backed her up against the wall. Reluctantly they drew back; Kate gazed at Jack in…almost wonder, as his eyes travelled up and down her body.

"You're checking me out." She stated in a breathy whisper.

"Uh-huh." He nodded with a cheeky smile, and then leant down to kiss her neck.

"Like what you see?" She asked mischievously, tilting her head to the side, allowing him better access.

"You. Know. I. Do." He said kissing his way down her neck and sucking at the base. "Kate…you're really…beautiful." He shrugged.

"Shut the hell up and fucking kiss me, Jack." She told him, tilting her head back. He grinned and complied, their bodies became tangled once more, and he could feel the blood coursing through his veins, feel his blood rushing through his ears, but mostly he could feel her, every inch of her. She was all he could see, all he wanted to see. She let out a small moan as he ran his tongue along the roof of her mouth.

"Are you…should we really…be doing this, is it…are you sure…" Jack murmured.

"What the hell is wrong with you? I thought you're a guy and you know the sex stuff…" Kate giggled as Jack glared at her. "Yes I'm sure…besides, it's just sex…no-strings attached, simple fucking. Besides, I wouldn't have mentioned it if it wasn't the slightest bit, okay…"

"Right. Just meaningless sex." Jack repeated, as if he needed the reassurance, and the strength to detach himself from his emotions.

"Meaningless, harmless sex. Just a bit of fun." Kate nodded, as she pressed her lips against his. As they kissed, hands travelled, and discovered, feeling parts of each others bodies that they'd never have expected to see or feel. As Jack's warm hands massaged her breasts, Kate hit her head against the wall as she moaned, throwing it back in pleasure.

"You okay?" Jack asked, with his eyes looking hers. Kate bit her lip and nodded.

"Just…I'm…this is good…I hope it's okay - to be enjoying this…" Kate said in a low voice.

"It better be." Jack growled, pressing up against her. "Part of me is really enjoying this." He smiled, and threw his head back into the stream of water.

"Trust me, I can tell." Kate smiled seductively. "I guess now we know it's working…"

"It must be." Jack mused.

"Uh huh…so now we know…I could just…" She ducked out from his arms, and started backing out of the shower, when he grabbed her and pulled him towards her.

"I don't think so. You promised me sex. You can't let a guy down like that."

"I didn't promise you sex, Jack." Kate smirked and shook her head. "Just because I said we could…didn't mean we would."

"You're a real cock tease, Kate." Jack whispered directly into her ear.

"Oh, I know." Kate's eyes beamed up at him with a dangerous glint, she smiled at him. "I'd turn the water back down, if I were you…" Kate smirked as she exited the shower cubicle.

Jack did as she said and leant his head against the wall where he'd previously had her pinned. 'Sexy, god damn cock tease.' Jack groaned as memories of their little make out session flooded his mind. They'd both enjoyed it, him a little too much. 'Damn bitch.'

Just as Jack turned the shower back up, he heard footsteps approaching.

"Hey…" Kate said as she slid back into the shower cubicle.

"What?" He said starring at him, with a frown on his face.

"You don't seem too happy." Kate laughed. "You didn't seriously think I'd leave you hanging now, did you?"

"You're cruel." Jack growled at her.

"Aww, did I bruise your ego?" Kate smirked.

Jack shook his head and smiled at her, he leant down to kiss her again, but she pulled back. "You wound me baby."

"I just remembered. You had your shower, this one's mine. Besides, we know you're all in working order…" Kate trailed off, her eyes roaming his body.

"What about you?" Jack finished for her.

"Yes." She said in less than a whisper. "What about me?" Her eyes gleamed dangerously with desire.

"Well then…we'll just have to see what I can do about that…" Jack grinned as he grabbed her and pinned her back against the wall. Kate let out a low, sexy laugh as Jack placed one hand above her head, with her hand clasped in his, and placed the other on her slender hips. "You know…you are, full of surprises." Jack said amazed.

"I know." Kate smiled, as his lips pushed against hers, hard. With one hand each above her head, their free hands roamed as their lips collided, again, and again, and again. As Jack pulled back, and finally let their hands drop, Kate's sea green eyes opened, to look at him in question. The look she received melted her to the core, and she grabbed onto him, so as not to collapse, then and there.

Suddenly words weren't needed anymore; they could convey everything they wanted to through looks. Her eyes softened as he continued to look at her like that, in that way she really wished he wouldn't cause it made her want to rip all his clothes off and screw him senseless. Too bad all his clothes were already off. Understanding what he was trying to say, as he ran his fingers down the line between his breasts, and over them, and my god, whatever the hell it was they were doing was driving her insane; she nodded. He nodded, and she nodded again. Kate drew in a shaky breath as she tipped her lips up to meet his again, and gasped into his mouth as she felt him enter her.

As Jack continued to thrust into her, she rolled her hips to meet his, and together, bodies joined as one, they lost all sense of time. All they could sense, taste and feel was each other.

As Kate crashed back down to Earth after a mind shattering orgasm she buried her head into Jack's shoulder, and sighed contently. "You alright?" Jack asked softly, coming back down from the buzz, himself.

"Hmm…that was good." Kate said softly, her head still buried into his shoulder. Jack turned so that Kate was leaning against him, leaning against the wall.

"Yeah, it was pretty great." Jack smiled, and kissed her hair.

"Fantastic…" Kate took her head away from his shoulder and smirked up at him. "I think everything works."

"It's almost a shame." Jack mumbled under his breath, and Kate strained to her him.

"What?" She asked, in confusion.

"N…nothing. Just…I enjoyed that. It was good, different." He paused. "If I ever find myself unsure of whether my organs still work…can I come find you for a reminder?" He asked with a smile.

"I…I…I don't know. Jack…that might not be a good idea…" She said stepping away from him.

"What? Kate what's wrong?" He asked her, his eyes full of concern.

"I just…don't want things to change, between us. Now that we're…we've…I don't want our friendship to all awkward and weird." She admitted.

"Nothing's changed Kate. We're still the same people we were that first day. It won't be awkward unless we make it awkward." Jack told her gently.

"O…okay."

Jack reached a hand out and held her face in his hand. "So, you still want your shower?" She nodded and smiled weakly at him. "I'll leave you to it then. Go press some buttons." He winked at her before leaving the shower, leaving Kate breathless and completely unsure of herself.
