Here is another J/C fanfic for you all...

Kathryn looked around at her crew as they huddled near the slowly building fire. She had told them not to be shy, to huddled to together and get warm. Her crew would do her no good if they couldn't stop shivering. The cold was a nice respite from the insane heat of the day. Kathryn moved way to allow more of her crew to huddle near the fire as she went in search of her first officer. Chakotay was bound to be close. Going to the edge of the camp she saw him up on one of the standing stones peering at the sky. She had a sudden image of them together on New Earth. He was a few miles from the shelter up on a ridge, stretched out on a blanket, and he was just watching the night sky. Remembering New Earth hurt her heart. They had been content there. She didn't know how long she had been watching him, but he turned to her and smiled down at her. Chakotay had a smile that could light the darkest night. When she smiled nothing else in the moment mattered to her but that smile.

Chakotay had felt her watching him and had let her do so for a few minutes before the pull to stare back became irresistible. Ever since New Earth Chakotay's whole body had become in tune with hers, with her moods. She was in main concern. He had tried not to make her so, but it happened and there was no turning back. Looking down at her Chakotay climbed down from his high perch. Even from where he stood he could see she was shivering from the cold. The night air didn't bother him as much; his home world was of a similar environment. Chakotay stopped just arms length from her. He opened his arms, "Come here."

Kathryn shook her head, "The crew is no more than twenty feet away." But she wanted nothing more than to walk into his arms, let them surround her, and let his warmth pour through her until the chill fled from her bones. His arms looked so inviting and she was getting colder.

"You'll do the crew no good if you freeze too." Chakotay responded tilting his head to the side smiling at her. He was taunting her, he knew it, but that didn't stop him.

Kathryn could feel herself relenting. Sighing she walked into his arms and instantly felt better. Her body synced to his, feeling lulled just by his warmth. He wrapped his arm around her tighter while slowly lowering them to the ground. Kathryn settled into him more, enjoying the body heat Chakotay freely gave her. He was her haven in this new quadrant. He was her haven on the ship when she felt she couldn't continue. Chakotay gave her the strength to continue the journey home. He was her hope.

Chakotay shifted slightly so he could drape his left leg over both of hers. Immediately he felt the cold spear into his inner thigh. He shook his head and smiled. That was his captain, never complaining. Lust coursed through him as Kathryn snuggled into his arms. It was then that he felt her lips at his pulse point, nibbling and kissing. A moan rumbled low in his chest. Shifting again Chakotay took her lips and fed from her, fed his warmth into her. Logically he knew better than to be kissing her, but then again they were on a desert planet in a strange quadrant. The normal rules no longer applied.

With ever pass of his lips over hers Kathryn was feeling warmer and warmer. It still amazed her how well his body fit to hers, how he felt so right at her side. Shifting again Kathryn wrapped her arms around his neck and used her strength to pull herself into his lap. She sat straddling his waist with her fingers threaded trough his hair. Puling back Kathryn smiled, "Feeling warmer by the minute." Leaning back into him she took his lips and tried to give back some of the warmth he was giving her. Chakotay was the missing half of her heart, try as she might to deny it. He was her other half.
