Chapter 4

Back again guys and with the unplanned fourth instalment. So without further interruption here you go guys and a big thank you to everyone who reviewed, favourited, alerted and read this fic for that matter. It means the world to me that you guys took the time to check out my work ;)

Enjoy

It was nightfall now which meant that they had been searching for an entire day. A whole day with nothing to show for it and the parties involved couldn't help but feel discouraged by that. They had searched every possible place they assumed Jack and Kate to be.

"We should probably start heading back." Sayid sadly declared as he stood from the bonfire they had ignited and then gathered around.

"Well I hope ya willin to head back on your own cause I ain't comin back without Freckles and I know Blondie over her ain't gonna smile until she sees her Knight in shining armour again." the Southerner commented while signalling towards the sulking blonde who just sat to one side all to herself.

"And what makes you think that you would have any more luck in finding them than we did." Sayid inquired of the man in front of him, and he was more than frustrated to not get a simply reply, instead all Sawyer decided to award him with was a bitter laugh and a disbelieving nod.

"Do what you want Ali but I'm staying and………………" Sawyer started out in his usual rude and rough way but it got wiped off the surface completely when both he and Sayid saw that Juliet had indeed disappeared in the midst of their conversation.

"Great, as if to say we don't have enough frickin problems on our hands." the shaggy haired man grumbled as he reluctantly followed a worried Sayid into the dense and thickening jungle.

(A few feet ahead)

She only had one mission to fulfil now and the haunting image within her mind was enough to fuel her determination to successfully achieve this mission. The chance to see, feel and kiss that face so much more than just a physical want to her, and she knew that it was the first thing she would do if she had to see him again, regardless of their audience.

(Meanwhile)

"Are you sure your okay, cause we…………." he found himself asking her for what seemed to be the thousandth time this morning. The memories of the previous nights' activities making him feel guilty to an extent cause as her Doctor and lover he should have been more thoughtful towards her condition. The marks on her neck reminding him of the extent of his actions.

"Yes Jack I'm fi….." she responded in the same broken record like way but she stopped short when she turned her head around to gaze at him. The sadness and guilt so apparent within his brown orbs that she longed to do nothing else but take it away and place it over her shoulders to bare. However all she could offer him now was the comfort of her arms surrounding him in a warming embrace and that's exactly what she did the next minute, his loosely winding around her waist.

"I love you, you know that right." he whispered into her hair while taking note to absorb as much of it's vanilla scent as he could muster.

"And I love you too Jack. More than I ever thought I could." she responded while tightening her arms around him to just show how serious she was about this, about them.

"God I'm so sorry." he responded after a seemingly endless moment of silence, but she wasn't one to complain as she embraced his emanating warmth, although she grew instantly alarmed at his sudden apology.

"Sorry for what Jack?" she genuinely inquired while allowing her right hand to stroke the side of his stubbled face. His eyes still firmly planted on the reason he was apologising in such a heartbreaking tone and manner. So much so that it brought tears to her eyes, but never the less she still allowed her eyes to travel to the reason of his worry.

"Oh that. Well let me tell you that I was a more than willing participant." she attempted to joke with him but she could see that it wasn't turning his frown any other way, and with that she leaned forward to embrace him once again. Channelling all the comfort and encouragement through the intensity of the embrace she had initiated him in.

"I'm not going anywhere Jack……..not as long as you want me here. I'll always be with you, no matter what." she felt the need to say just to confirm any shred of doubt he still had when it came to her and her tendencies to run from something good. However she was a different person now, a more freer person, and she had the man she was holding to thank for that.

"We should start heading back while it's still light out." Jack softly suggested as he pulled away every so slightly from the brunette. Her reply to his suggestion being an incoherent moan and he couldn't help but chuckle at her laziness, although a part of him grew a tad worried at it because she was never one to wordlessly turn down a hiking adventure through the jungle.

"You okay? He casually asked off her as he gently squeezed her to get her attention.

"Just blissfully content is all." she mumbled, her eyes closing once again as her head gently hit the recess of his steady beating chest.

"Mmmm I wish we could stay here like this forever."

"Me too." he responded and agreed while tightening his hold on her and gently swaying them from side to side at the same time. Although they both knew that they had more important things deal with at the moment, like rescue for example, considering if it was ever coming.

"What are we gonna do now Jack?" Kate casually inquired as she pulled away masking an expression of genuine curiosity.

"Well for starters I'm gonna do this……." he started and then briefly paused to place a short but promising kiss upon her lips and when he felt it was enough to physically convey what his mind was sure of, he slowly pulled away to verbally assure her the same.

"We're one now Kate and I don't see anything or anyone changing that." he proclaimed and he soon found himself being knocked over by a crying Kate who showered him with kisses and words of promise in return.

His first thought was to simply embrace and participate in the sheer elation of the moment but he couldn't seem to dismiss her rather odd swing of emotions today. Never the less he remained quiet over the subject for the time being and instead opted to distract his mind with other things.

An hour into their journey and Jack had the slight inclination that they were going around in circles judging by the fact that he had seen the same tree three times, but still he remained hopeful of his tracker walking in front of him, swaying her cute little ass from side to side and forcing him to feel the all instinctual hardening in his nether regions. To the extent where he was groaning fairly loud and trying his level best to conceal it with either a cough or a word that related to their search. However that all went out the window when she stopped and bent down to gain some familiarity with the tracks she had relied on to direct them back to their destination.

"This way" she spoke as she rose to full height in an attempt to commence with their journey once again but as she turned around the face the man behind her, she could see that his focus was planted on something else, and upon further observance of what he was looking at she blushed in embarrassment, but still gained the bravery to ask the question she had asked him exactly three and a half months before.

"You checking me out?" she asked smiling while raising her eyebrows to convey the sultriness of her question and much to her enjoyment she watched him bite his bottom lip and then slowly inch himself forward toward her, his pelvis already lining up with the place that drove him to this level in the first place.

"What do you think?" he growled into her ear as he pushed his hips more demandingly into her.

"Oh Jack……" was all she could find the will to say as he moved his clothed arousal up and down the surface of her moistening depths. His dry thrusts gaining more pressure and pace as he heard her moans growing louder, verging to the point of howling and he knew he would be buried within her by the time she reached that stage, but he still felt that he could tease her some more.

"You like it like this Kate, my hard cock grinding against your tight little ass, wanting you……" he harshly breathed into her ear. Licking the end of her earlobe before he moved down to her neck, dragging the surface of his lips along the creamy and slightly moist path.

"Needing you……" he took the chance to verbally proclaim along with a thrust against her ass to convey the urgency of his statement, and all she did in response to his ministrations was throw her head back over his shoulder while her arms touched him in any reachable place.

"Loving you in the way you deserve…." he spoke as he maintained a perfect moment of eye contact with her while his right hand moved to her front and into her jeans to be welcomed with the one element that forced him to finally give up the game and give in. His lips urgently attaching to hers while his eyes searched for a suitable place to further this, and when every option seemed rather unfitting for their engagement, his eyes then suddenly fell on a well proportioned tree behind them. It's branches within perfect line and height to initiate what his mind started to formulate.

So with that mental image already forming within his mind, he physically and frantically worked on making it a likely possibility as he literally tore off whatever restricted them from fully experiencing each other. The result of his new found hunger for her landing them in nothing but their underwear, minus Kate's bra as well. Once that was done he briefly hunched down placing his arms under her thighs and then slowly walked them back towards the designated area, her mind too focused on what he was doing to her to even care about the rough surface she was now brushing up against.

"Need it…." she whimpered into his mouth as she continued to feel his hardness probing and stroking her through the rather flimsy material she cursed having at the moment, and as he continued to dry hump her she honestly wondered when he was going to rid them of this final restriction and engage in what her body was screaming with need to achieve.

However Jack on the other hand had other ideas in mind, the first of them being to position her within the area where the branches met. The "V" like proportioning of it allowing her to be comfortably seated within it and for her lower extremities to also be within perfect line of his now gasping mouth.

The new position somehow brought her back to her senses, but as she saw what this new position would allow him, she thought she would lose it again, especially as she saw him firstly nuzzling her lovingly through her panties and then ripping them off her in one quick motion. His lips then moving forward to feast on the surface of the sensitive skin while the tip of his tongue probed in between her dampened folds to commence with what he wanted to taste as a result of his effect on her.

The more pressure he put into his ministrations and the more she felt like she was losing her composure to be conscious, his tongue frantically moving in and out of her as his fingers stimulated the area surrounding it. His index finger slowly probing itself in as his tongue continued to bring out what she felt burning and bubbling within the lower part of her belly.

"Jack, Jack it's……..it's coming…..it's…." she muttered in broken sentences as he probed his mouth even harder against her while his fingers and tongue worked with same intensity within her and the combined sensation brought to a heightening and mind blowing release. Her voice making sure to voice it out not only to him but to the whole world as well. She wanted everyone to know how he made her feel, and she more or less squealed when he immediately wrapped his arms around her and pulled her off the tree to engage more of a mutual enjoyment, but as she briefly gazed down to see him slightly rubbing his virtually vertical hardness against her, she could clearly see that her pleasure was the key to his physical enjoyment.

"You ready for me Kate?" he strained to ask as the head of his cock flirted with her entrance, waiting for the word, and she frantically nodded in firm agreement while watching the first few inches of his swelling length disappearing into her.

"Ahhhhhhh." she moaned and contorted her face into an expression of beautiful pleasure at the sight of his length slowly moving in and out of her. Her wetness so clearly evident upon the surface of the velvety skin of his cock.

Jack on the other hand just had his eyes firmly closed as he struggled to move through her already tightening depths, the lubrication of her surrounding wetness making the journey that much easier for him. He could honestly say that he had never felt this way about a woman before, both emotionally and physically. It was almost as if he finally found the missing piece of his heart. The missing piece his heart always longed to find cause without it he would be reliving the rather empty past of his life which was filled with nothing but regret, lies and generally a suppression of anything good.

"More Jack…..more……ughhh….go all the way baby." she pleaded off him, her breathing more laboured and rapid as her eyes continued to watch their connection and it was only with her dramatic change in breathing that Jack realised what had also played a major part in getting her to this stage. His eyes joining her line of focus and soon he too found himself growing equally aroused at the sight of his own length loving her at a keen rhythmic pace, but the continuous sounds of her pleas for him to go harder willed him to relent and follow through with it. Although he felt he could have some fun in initiating the change itself, her current line of focus awarding him with the sultry idea.

"Mmmm like this." he teased and stalled, then pushing merely an inch of his length into her and stopping to see what kind of effect it would have on her, and as predicted she slowly grew frustrated when he proceeded to drag out the joke with prolonging the wave of release her body was humming to experience with him.

"Stop it!" she hissed a little more violently than intended as she slapped his left buttock, forcing him to then buck into her with a gasp. The distinct twitch in his cock confirming her rousing assumptions.

"You like being spanked Jack?" she casually inquired and when she failed to get a suitable response from him she did it again, earning a reconstruction from him, but this time he gave her little chance to repeat it as he took hold of her hands and placed it above them, briefly telling her to hold onto the branches and once she followed through with it, she then found her form being hoisted into the air by his strength and arms. The new position already achieving her pleas in more ways than one as she felt his mouth latching tightly onto one of her nipples while his cock spread more it's seeping wetness onto her.

Once he was satisfied with the secure ness of the position, more so hers, he placed his hands under her thighs and commenced with his thrusting once again. The movement oddly reminding her of the rhythmic motions of a drill, but oh so much better she thought as she became a willing victim to his loving.

As the engagement physically progressed she felt the burning sensation rise within her again and the sheer extent of it's gathering strength proved unlikely to hold off any longer. So all she was left to do from this point onward was to embrace it and let it run it's course.

"I'm…….I'm close I ……." she struggled to speak as the combined sensation of her impending orgasm and his rapidly thrusting cock made her mind virtually numb, and all she could act on now was what she was dangerously close to experiencing.

"I'm close too……so close baby ahhh…" Jack responded as his entire body moved along with his thrusts within her, his chest covered with a light sheen of sweat gathered from the humid air of the day and from the passionate engagement he had willingly initiated himself in. He too could sense the extent of her closeness, the slight clamping of her inner muscles around his cock affirming his mind, and with that he acted solely on instinct and wordlessly agreed to make this a moment to remember. His hands slowly opening her thighs so that he could bury even more of himself into her, the head of his length branching to a place he had not yet become familiar with and the moment he brushed against it, he was rewarded with a piercing cry from her. The triggering or her mind numbing release setting off his like a spark to welcome an endless wave of his seed and the only thing both lovers could do to relish in the moment was engage their mouths in a searing kiss, and in turn it caused Kate to convulse in his arms once again, her scream muffled wholly by his mouth as he continued to pour his essence and love into her.

It seemed like ages when they finally regained their breath and composure back and when they did it seemed almost a shame to end it because it was moments like these that made their connection towards each other so deeply meaningful and intimate of course, but there was just something within that element of intimacy that willed them to forget about the rest of the world.

"So that was…..uh different." Kate commented with a smile as Jack continued to lay wrapped around her, his face still buried deep into her chest, and her heart swelled with love when she felt him place small baby kisses along the skin, slowly branching all the way up to the underside of her quivering jaw.

"Jaaaack that tickles.." she lazily twitched with a smile as she felt his stubble grazing against her neck as he continued to shower her with kisses which slowly turned more passionate when he reached her weak spot eliciting a gasp of please from her as a natural response.

"Mmmmmm don't get me started again." she joked and instead of pulling away he just wound his arms tighter around her and hummed into her neck saying…….

"And what's wrong with that." he responded and she briefly chuckled to herself in amazement of this man's stamina for her, but unfortunately she didn't have the strength to match it at the moment. So with that she gently caught hold of the sides of his face, earning a heartbreakingly cute pout from him as she did so.

"Well…." she started and paused off to award him with a kiss to brighten his mood and when she failed to achieve that she continued on with her reason.

"Well Romeo, as much as I would love to stay in your arms and make love to you here all day, I don't think I can." she admitted while bowing her head to hide the forming blush that had gathered upon the recess of her freckled cheeks as a result of her confession.

"Oh, I'm sorry…. I'm so sorr…." he hurriedly kept on apologising as he pulled away from her to give her the much needed space and time he should have regarded to offer in the first place, but he was more than surprised to have his face pulled to hers and his lips plundered with all the strength she could find to show him her very present insatiability for him. It just needed time to recharge and once she pulled away she offered him a smile and rewarded him with a verbal proclamation that willed his eyes to moisten in response.

"I love you too." he bit out before the swelling emotion in his voice overwhelmed him to a point where he couldn't speak. So instead he just sealed his lips with hers once again in the hopes that it would convey what his heart was solely relying on, their love and commitment to each other.

After spending a few more minutes just relishing in the spirit of the moment, they both mutually came to a reluctant decision to find their way back to the beach which proved considerably harder to achieve seeing as it was nearing evening time.

(Meanwhile)

She now found herself approaching the hidden double door entrance of the Medical Station she was convinced they would be residing in due to the tracks that led her here, but she frowned once again at turning up with nothing, but still her sheer determination to find him beat strong within her heart, and with that she resumed with putting her tracking skills to use. Her face lighting up in elation when she caught sign of another pair of tracks leading away from the station, and as she followed them she proposed to call out his name as well to gain a better result in the end.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Do you hear that?" Kate commented as she heard a faint call behind them, but the strength of the source made it considerably hard for her to depict any sense of clarity with what the sound was trying to say.

"Hear what?" Jack asked while masking an expression of confusion at the randomness of the moment, but never the less he tried to listen out to what she was apparently hearing and when the sound failed to reach his ears he just nodded in negation once again to her question, and she too dropped it while saying that it might have been the breeze or anything other unnamed thing that existed in this jungle.

However ten minutes into their trek and the sound was heard again, this time by both Jack and Kate, and with that they went on the alert and tried to respond to the voice as best they could.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Jaaaaack." Juliet kept calling out as she quickened her pace along the path she was convinced he and the brunette had come through, and what also gave her hope was the responding sound she heard in the distance. The sound getting stronger as she resorted to a brisk jog, her heart thumping with anticipation of finally being reunited with him, and within minutes she was rewarded with a sight that surprised her to say the least, but she honestly had mixed feelings on what this would mean, especially when her eyes travelled over the parachute surrounding the seemingly unconscious figure.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Which way?" Jack asked as they were forced to slow down when the sound they had been hearing died down, only to then be replaced with an incessant beeping coming from a few feet to where they were standing.

"There." Kate expressed while pointing to the black beeping object on the floor.

"What's a…….." Kate picked up the beeping object and started to verbally express her confusion but she was stopped short when a louder sound was heard hovering above them.

"Oh my God is it?" Kate asked as the search light from the chopper shone over their figures, virtually blinding them but what also caught their attention was the distinguishable figure parachuting out of the helicopter.

"C'mon" Jack simply instructed and then ran towards the direction of the falling figure, Kate following closely.

A few feet in and they were stopped once again by the figure they had seen fall out of the sky. The person frantically searching for something and upon noticing his audience he briefly freezes and then resorts to what he was assigned to say.

"I'm here to rescue you."

(A year and a half later)

He finds it hard to open his eyes, and that could be due to the blinding light implanted within the ceiling of the room he was laying in at the moment.

Where the hell am I? Why am I here? Was all he could ask himself as he continued to observe his present surroundings of what looked to be a typical Hospital room. The last thing he remembered witnessing was him being told by someone that rescue had come and then……….

Damnit, he swore to himself as his mind swam with broken pieces that didn't seem to fit together, but oddly enough one thing, more specifically one word reined clear and true, Kate.

Is she here now? He wondered and seconds later he thought he might get his answer but all he received instead was a person he never thought he would see.

"Juliet?"

"Okay so let me get this straight, I've been in a coma for the last year and a half and you are….."

"Juliet" she cheerfully declared, but what shocked him more was the almost secretive way she had said it. Never the less he tried to wrap his mind around the possibility, but………………

"Where's Kate?" he genuinely inquired off her and right away he could sense that the name sparked nothing but fear in this woman, Juliet's heart, her wide eyed expression confirming his assumptions.

"Uh….why don't you rest for a little bit." Juliet opted to suggest in an attempt to hopefully take his mind of any memory of the island cause remembering everything would only cause complications, and it would break the secret she along with four others from the island were vowed to maintain.

"Why wont you tell me about her?"

"Jack, why don't you lie down and………………."

"TELL ME!" he shouted at the woman before him, feeling he was forced to resort to it.

"She's dead Jack. She died over a year ago." the woman rather sadly declared but nothing could compare to the grief Jack felt hit his heart when he heard the words "Kate" and "Dead" in the same sentence.

(Meanwhile - Somewhere over the Pacific)

"Honey don't touch that." she declared in the determined motherly way she had adapted along with accepting the fact that shehad become a Mother.

"But Moooooooooommy." the boy whined while dragging his feet towards his Mother.

"No means no Brandon Shepherd." the brunette declared while offering the boy a sharp steely gaze to get her instruction across to the little guy.

"Sowwy Mommy." the boy responded while bowing his head down in shame, and the woman across from him just crouched down before him and placed her finger under his chin to gaze at her son, his sharp brown eyes reminding her so much of his Father. The man she longed to see again, but after the first few months of not hearing from them or the freighter she naturally assumed the worst, and the continuation of their silence forced to her unfortunately accept it.

Now all she had left of him was the result of their love and commitment, their one and a half year old son.

L O S T

To be continued……………..

So why was Kate left on the island?

Why is Juliet saying she's dead? Is it out of jealousy or is it something deeper?

Why couldn't Jack return to rescue Kate and the others like he planned to? (hint) that this might have something to do with what Desmond suffered with on the show.

Will Jack and Kate ever find their way to each other again?

All will be revealed in the possiblesequel fic "Rekindling what was lost"!

I couldn't help but give this fic a typical lost ending but never fear because that's what the fic "Rekindling what was lost" is there for. Yeah, I currently have this fic planned out as a sequel to this kind of introductory fic. It will consist of eight chapters in total, the first six focusing on each one of "My Oceanic 6" lol. Although we'll find out more about Jack and Kate throughout the fic and in the seventh and eighth chappy we may see a Good ol Jate reunion, and as you can see Kate has a few surprises for him already.

However if you guys want me to end it here then that's okay too. So what do you think guys? Would you like to see a sequel to this?

P.S. Don't worry guys cause as you know i'm still a hardcore Jater and Jacket for me is like Satan dealing with holy water lol.
