"Take them off''

Jack hadn't seen Kate all day, he was told that she went off into the jungle this morning to pick some fruit and she hasn't been seen since. No matter how hard Jack tried he couldn't help but feel worried, he always did when it came to Kate. He knew that she was very capable of taking care of herself, but when he thought about Kate lost in that fricken jungle or worse it felt like his heart was about to explode!.

Jack went to where she normally went to pick fruit, she wasn't there, but she had been, there were mango and guava skins thrown on the floor. She probably came here to rest, to get away from the madness of the group, Jack couldn't blame her.

He walked back to the beach, still his heart was worried. That feeling was soon relieved as he walked onto the beach and saw Kate sitting around a suit case/table with Claire, Charlie, Shannon and Sawyer. Jack let out a breath he didn't realise he had been holding. Kate was laughing and smiling from ear to ear which in turn made Jack smile widely, Kate looked so beautiful when she smiled.

He walked over to the happy group.

" Hey" he said in a cheery voice not very well known to the group.

"Hey Jack" Kate said, and if possible smiled even wider.

"Hey"

"Hey"

"Doc"

"Hey mate"

"What are we playing?" he looked at the deck of cards "poker?" Jack asked and sat down beside Kate, who gave him a warm smile that made his stomach tingle.

"Yeah, well a type of poker" Kate told him with a wink.

"A type of poker?" Jack asked with raised eyebrows.

"Strip poker doc" Sawyer said sounding a bit aggravated now that Jack had Kate's undivided attention.

"Well mate you in?" Charlie smiled

"Strip poker?" Jack looked at Kate "Hell yeah" She blushed noticeably at this.

"Well ok then, Doc you can deal first" Sawyer said and handed him the deck of cards.

An hour later this is how everyone was doing, Claire and Shannon were out and so was Sawyer and Charlie who were topless. It was only Jack and Kate who were left in the game, they were both fully clothed bar the fact that they both had one sock missing.

Kate was feeling very confident with the hand she had, a royal flush there was no way that Jack could beat this hand.

"OK Jack I bet my sock" She smiled

"OK well I'll see you sock and raise you a shirt" he said with a smirk.

"You know what Jack… I'm all in" She said with a cheeky yet flirtatious grin.

" OOOOOOWW" Charlie hooted.

"Now com'on Doc your not gona let a woman beat you at a mans game?" Sawyer got a three hard digs in the arm for that sexist comment.

"Sorry…..women" he whispered

"What was that?" Kate said clenching her fists

"Nothing.. Sorry"

"Yeah well you should be" she spat at him. "So Jack are you in or are you out?"

"I'm…….all in"

The rest of the group hooted and oowed at this.

"Right then" Kate laid down her cards looking very happy with herself

"A Royal flush, hate that Doc there's no way your gona beat that hand" Sawyer smiled at his defeat.

"Well Jack looks like I won, so get them off" Kate giggled, so did Claire and Shannon."

"Now Now, hold on just a sec…I haven't showed my cards yet Kate, and it looks like you're the one who will be taking your clothes off" Jack laughed as he laid down his cards to show the group. There jaws dropped to the floor.

"Ah crap!…a poker of Aces!" Kate said in a high pitched voice.

"Damn Freckles"

"Well Kate looks like I beat ya …so…." Jack grinned cheekily

"Frick"

With that Kate took off her sock, pants and top, luckily for her it wasn't a completely naked game of strip poker.

She sat there red in the face, and playing with the sand between her fingers.

"Swiss Swoo!" Charlie and Sawyer whistled

Kate just shook her head.

"Ech hem!" Claire coughed

"Sorry" Charlie said to Claire and wrapped his arms around the petite Australian girl.

Jack however had become very quiet, he just looked in awe at Kate's stunning body.

"You happy now" Kate said to Jack faking anger.

He looked her up and down "Very happy" Kate playfully hit him on the arm and blushed.

The next round Kate was obviously out, Jack was now topless after being beaten by Sawyer, which Jack absolutely hated.

Kate shivered "Hey guys can I put my clothes back on I'm cold" she said giving them her puppy dog eyes.

"I guess" "Sure Hun"

Kate got dressed again "Hey where's my top?" Kate asked looking around

"What this one?" Jack said with a smile and waved it in the air.

"Uh yeah, give it here" Kate said and went to grab it but Jack pulled it away again.

"Hey" Kate pouted.

"If you want it Kate, the come and get it" Jack laughed and held it high above his head.

"Your mean you know that"

She quickly pounced on him and knocked him to the ground, she grabbed her top but didn't get off him.

"Got it" she smirked.

"Yeah you do" Jack smiled and wrapped him arms around her waist and held her even closer. He inched his head closer to hers and looked deep into her emerald green eyes, in them he saw passion. He gently captured her lips in his. Jack was glad when Kate didn't resist but rapped her arms around his neck and straddled him.

Jack eagerly licked her lips to gain entrance to her mouth. Kate let out a small moan and opened her mouth and granted him entrance.

As their tongues duelled together and their kiss became more and more passionate a very loud..

"Ech hem, guys get a room" came from behind them.

"Awe leave them" Claire and Shannon said in unison.

"I think I'm gona throw up!" Sawyer said.

Kate got off Jack and put her top back on "Uh sorry…we…uh…yeah" They giggled.

"So are we gona play another round or what?" Sawyer said hoping to change the subject.

"Uh no actually, I'm going to head back to my tent and Jack will be joining me" Kate grinned and held out her hand to Jack who quickly got up.

Shannon and Claire let out a high pitched squeal as they walked to Kate's tent arms wrapped around each other and Jack was whispering something in Kate's ear which made her giggle.

"Someone's gona get some" Charlie said in a sing song voice.

Sawyer just sat there with a face on him.

The group watched as Kate pulled Jack into her tent and let the tarp down.

""Finally"" Claire, Shannon and Charlie said in unison…Sawyer stormed off in a huff.

A/N yeah I know it was a bit cute and fluffy but I had to do a fluffy Jate fic since I killed Kate in the last one, sorry if I made some of you angry but can I just add that it is not nice to send someone an e-mail cursing at them for killing a character in a fiction!

Anywee thanks to everyone who reviews my fics much appreciated
