Ok I'm having horrible Writer's block I have started like three stories and just can't seem to finish them. So I'm hoping I can write this little smutty one shot, get through with it and maybe that will help me get back on track because right now things are just not looking good on the writing home front. So this little fic is pure smut and probably crap On the island, Jack is becoming worn down and in total denial about it and Kate wants to help him relax.

Kate sat with Claire and Shannon while they played with Aaron and enjoyed the lazy day. Kate felt her eyes scan the beach and her gaze fell on Jack who was working as usual, making the rounds and helping everyone. Kate sighed, he looked so tired and worn down but every time she brings it up to him he just thanks her for her concern and denies that there was anything wrong. Shannon and Claire noticed Kate staring off into the distance, actually it wasn't the distance it was at Jack.

"See something you like?" Shannon asked with a smirk, it was no secret to the girls that Jack and Kate belonged together. Unfortunately the doctor and fugitive seemed to be the last people to also come to this realization.

Kate looked at her confused, "Huh?" then realizing what Shannon meant she blushed slightly and shook her head. "No it's not like that I'm just worried that he's running himself down too quickly." She said looking back at Jack.

"He does seem to be more stressed than usual." Claire observed. "I'm up a lot in the middle of the night with Aaron and I've seen Jack just sitting on the beach just watching the ocean. I asked him about it and he said he has a lot of insomnia."

Shannon looked at the doctor, "He looks like he's ready to drop. Maybe you should see if you can get him to rest." She said looking at Kate.

Kate snorted, "Have you ever tried to get Jack to do something, it's not easy. Last time I got him to sleep I had to drug him and I really don't want to do that again." Kate said. She was lucky Jack didn't hate her for drugging him last time, plus she figured it couldn't be good to keep drugging someone to make them sleep. She didn't want to risk making him sick. She sighed; she knew though that if he didn't get a real rest soon he would become sick. "I guess I can try to talk to him."

"You know sex is a natural sedative." Shannon said with a wicked smile. Kate looked at her stunned, "What?"

"It's true" Shannon said holding up her hands. "When you have sex endorphins or something are released and they act like a sedative it's why you get sleepy after sex."

"Why are you telling me this?" Kate said and Shannon's grin widened.

"Well you said you were looking for a way to get Jack to rest." She said with a nonchalant shrug. Claire bit her lip to keep from giggling and found the sand very interesting knowing if she looked at Kate she would bust out laughing.

Kate looked at her with her mouth open slightly. "You're telling me to have sex with Jack?" her voice practically squeaked.

"No, I never said that, I was just giving suggestions in ways to make him sleep." Shannon said diplomatically. Kate let her eyes wander to Jack and she felt a blush rise in her cheeks at the thought of seducing him to make him sleep. She made a face at that thought. She didn't like the idea of having sex with him to only make him sleep. In the moments that she rarely even acknowledged to herself when she thought of being with Jack it was because she cared for him and wanted to be with him, not for some ulterior motive.

"It could work" Claire said throwing a wink at Shannon but trying to sound objective. "I mean we've been here for quite some time and to my knowledge Jack hasn't hooked up with anyone. I bet back home he used to get women all the time." She smirked to herself as she watched Kate stiffen slightly at the idea of Jack being with other women.

Shannon carried on the conversation, "Oh you know he did. He's a single gorgeous doctor; I bet the poor guy is just dying having to go this long without sex."

"You guys could we please stop discussing Jack's sex life" Kate said irritably. "What he does or did in his life is his own business and I doubt he'd appreciate us dissecting his personal life." Kate actually didn't have that much of a problem of discussing ideas of what Jack's life might have been like but all this talk of sex, and Jack was making her feel a little weak in the knees and she felt a slight warmth growing in her lower stomach. She wiped a bead of sweat off of her forehead she couldn't believe she was getting turned on by this stupid conversation.

"We're trying to help him." Shannon said. "Maybe we could find a woman on the island who would be willing to help Jack out a little bit. I mean he is our leader and he has proven time after time he would do most anything to keep us safe and healthy, doesn't he deserve the same from us?" Shannon gave an innocent smile but inside was cracking up as Kate's face clouded over.

"I seriously doubt that Jack would just sleep with some woman he barely knows" she said haughtily. She really didn't like the idea of some bimbo offering herself to Jack.

"I don't know he is a man." Claire said biting the inside of her cheek to keep from laughing.

"Yeah a gorgeous man who is in desperate need to get laid. Seriously who do you think we can find to help him out a little? Obviously Claire, Sun and I are out."

"You guys" Kate said exasperated but was cut off by Claire.

"Ooh what about that Melissa woman, she's always drooling all over him and flirting. I bet she'd love to help Jack relax." She said with a giggle.

"Wait, who?" Kate asked not liking this woman already.

"Yeah she's definitely got it bad for him. I bet she would just love the opportunity to seduce him." Shannon said.

"Should we ask her?" Claire asked.

"Wait one damn minute!" Kate said loudly and both women turned to look at her innocently. "No one is going to talk to some Melissa woman to sleep with Jack." Kate said angrily standing up. "I will go talk to Jack myself and see if I can get him to rest without having to involve some slut." Kate spat out. With that she stormed off in Jack's direction.

"You know that was just way too easy." Shannon said grinning.

"Oh yeah" Claire said with a chuckle. "Hook"

"Line" said Shannon

"Sinker" they said in unison and slapped high fives.

Kate made her way to Jack angrily muttering to herself. What the hell was wrong with Claire and Shannon? They were trying to pass Jack off like a hunk of meat. Get him laid that will fix everything. Did they ever think that there was a specific reason why he wasn't sleeping, that something might be bothering him? No let's just hand him off to some Dumpster Barbie who has no clue as to what Jack really needs. She shook her head annoyed and walked up to him.

"Jack? Can I talk to you for a second?" she asked touching his shoulder. Jack turned to look at her and she was shocked to see how pale he looked.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" he asked concerned.

"Um can we go talk in my tent?" she asked feeling nervous and not knowing why.

"Sure" Jack said and he followed her up the beach. He hoped she was ok, for her to come to him for help was kind of a big thing so he couldn't help but be a little worried.

They entered her tent and she closed the flaps behind her and turned to face him. She suddenly realized she was in a very enclosed area with Jack, a bed and Shannon and Claire's conversation running through her mind. She looked at him nervously to see him looking at her expectantly. Oh yeah she had brought him her he probably would like to know why.

"Jack, I'm worried about you." She said bluntly. She watched as Jack's expression went from concerned to confused.

"I'm sorry what?" he asked somewhat baffled.

"Jack I know you haven't been sleeping or eating and you're running yourself down. Now don't get mad at me because I'm worried about you and I don't want to see you get sick." Kate said.

Jack sighed and sat on her bed which made Kate's heart leap a couple times. "I've just been having some insomnia it will eventually pass." He rubbed the back of his neck and then shot her a smirk, "You're not going to drug me again are you?"

Kate shook her head and sat next to him, "No my idea is just to ask you to lie down and rest. Claire and Shannon are the crazy ones." She muttered the last part to herself but Jack was still able to catch it.

"What are Shannon and Claire up to? Are they trying to drug me?" he asked wondering when he got to be so paranoid.

Kate let out a huff, "No worse."

Jack's attention was peeked now, what did Claire and Shannon want to do to him that was so horrible, he always got along with them so he just wasn't quite sure what they were planning on doing to him.

"Don't worry I put a kibosh to their little plan" she said and Jack was extremely curious now.

"So what exactly were they planning to do to me?" he asked cautiously.

Kate rolled her eyes and was so annoyed by the situation she didn't really stop to think about what she was saying. "Well we were discussing that you looked tired and then Shannon said sex was a natural sedative and then she and Claire came up with this big plan to have some harpy named Melissa come sleep with you so you'd get some rest. I mean isn't that the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard?" she asked exasperated.

Jack sat there just trying to process what Kate just said. They were going to have him get laid and Kate thought that was a horrible idea? He shook his head he was definitely not keeping up with this conversation.

"Jack?" Kate was looking at him expectantly and he realized her question to him was not a rhetorical one.

"Um" he stuttered slightly. "I'm not quite sure what you mean." He saw her eyes widen slightly and he continued quickly. "I mean Shannon is right uh sex is a natural sedative." He wasn't sure what to say all he knew was Kate seemed to be in a mood and he really didn't want to make her angry with him.

"Ok" Kate said nodding, "But the whole part with Melissa is ridiculous isn't it? I mean you wouldn't just sleep with a woman like that would you?"

Jack really wished for an emergency right now to call him away. He shifted nervously in his seat thinking of the one night stands he had partook in his past.

"Well I don't really know Melissa so I couldn't really say." He thought that was a vague safe answer.

"So if you did know her you would just invite her in for a quick roll in the hay?" Kate asked annoyed and feeling jealous.

"Kate I don't know why you're getting mad at me, I'm not the one who said I need sex Shannon and Claire said that, not me." He defended himself in what had to be the most bizarre conversation he had ever had, well besides the dinosaur conversation with Hurley.

Kate felt herself come to her senses slowly and realized what she had just said to Jack. She felt the blush rise to her cheeks and she pretty much wanted to curl up and die. She had basically just jumped down Jack's throat for something he had nothing to do with. She put her hand to her forehead.

"I'm sorry Jack" she groaned. "I'm just in a weird mood and I didn't mean to take it out on you." Kate said shaking her head.

Jack nodded, "It's fine Kate really. Uh look I have to go check on a couple people so I'll see you around ok and I promise I will try to rest later." He stood and smiled nervously and quickly fled the tent. Kate collapsed on the bed and pulled the pillow over her face and let out a groan. She had just terrified Jack out of his wits over her own petty jealousy.

She laid there for a few minutes just letting everything wash over her, she had problems. She had just jumped all over Jack at the idea that he might have sex with a woman. She had no claim to him so how can she get mad at him for finding someone to be with. She let out a whimper and then she finally allowed herself to accept the truth. She was upset because she wanted to be the only woman Jack would be with. She allowed that revelation wash over her as she laid on the bed. She had two choices, ignore the feelings and move on or give into them and tell Jack how she feels. How did she feel? She thought over that and let out another groan dammit she loved him. So that was the second choice tell Jack she loves him, great that should work out well especially after she just went psycho on him. She sat up maybe if she just told him everything he'd understand. She was pretty sure that would work, just confess everything and win him over. Only problem with that was the whole confess everything part. Could she really do that? She got up and walked to the entrance of the tent and looked out. She saw Jack talking to Michael and Walt and she smiled as Jack grabbed Walt and pretended to throw him around and the young boy laughed loudly. Jack would make a great father one day, she wondered if she could manage to be the mother to his children. She sighed, looks like her decision has already been made. She was in love and the only reasonable course of action will be to tell him everything.

She stepped out of the tent and walked in his direction hoping he didn't take one look at her and run for his life. While she was doing that Shannon and Claire were watching everything going on like hawks.

"I don't get it, she brought him into her tent and bam not even five minutes later he practically bolted from there. I thought the whole point was Kate was going to seduce him not scare him off." Claire said.

"You don't think that's what happened do you?" Shannon asked concerned. "I mean you don't think Kate tried to seduce Jack and he turned her down. I mean it's not just me there is a connection there right?"

"Of course there is a connection they're in love oh she's coming out of her tent. She's looking at Jack and there she's walking to him." Claire said excitedly.

"She looks determined, that's a good thing right?" Shannon asked.

"Yeah let's just see what happens." Claire said and they kept their eyes glued on Kate.

Kate approached Jack once again and watched as Michel and Walt left leaving him alone. She reached out and touched his arm once again. He turned to her and she could see by his expression he was surprised to see her.

She held her hands up in a peace offering. "I need to talk to you and its kind of important. I promise I won't freak out at you or anything, I'm just asking for a little of your time to come back to my tent and talk to me." She requested almost shyly.

Jack smiled, "Sure" He followed her back up the beach and followed her into her tent once again. Kate gestured for him to sit and she sat besides him. She took a few deep breaths and prepared her self for what would probably be the most terrifying experience of her life.

"I want to apologize for freaking out on you like that before. I've been thinking about why I did that and I think I figured it all out. I was hoping you'd let me tell you why I acted that way." She asked. Jack gave her an affirmative nod and she continued. "I am worried about you Jack I really want you to rest. I just saw you out there and you're pale and you were playing with Walt and you looked like you were going to fall over. Something is wrong and don't say insomnia, please talk to me tell me what is going on with you." She asked touching his arm gently.

Jack sighed; he honestly didn't know what to tell her. He knew what the problem was, Shannon and Claire were right he was sexually frustrated but it wasn't a case of any woman would do, no Jack just wanted Kate. He would lie down at night and try to sleep but it was like she was haunting him. He began to crave her and it was slowly driving him insane. Then she pulls him into today talking about sex and all of this stuff and all he wanted to do was throw her on the bed and bury himself within her. He had practically run from there before he did something stupid to screw up their friendship. He sighed, at that thought; he figured they'd always be just friends no matter what he wanted. Kate always seemed to lean towards Sawyer and Jack was too scared to ask her to make a choice. He didn't think his heart could take the rejection so he just made himself deal with just being friends. So he only could tell her insomnia was the problem because he could never tell her the truth.

"Well" he cleared his throat. "Back home I didn't sleep much either, I worked long hours and was on call a lot. I guess I just let the stress build up and it kind of eats at me. Then I eventually crash and kind of recharge, it's just the way I've always been." Jack said and that was the truth he was very much that way.

"Why do you have to crash though, why don't you allow yourself more rest and then you wouldn't have to keep recharging you would be already caught up?" Kate asked watching him.

"Guess I just wasn't built that way" he said with almost a sad smile. Kate knew there was more but she decided to not press him.

"I do worry about you Jack and that's why this afternoon happened. We were just talking and then the whole sex thing happened and I guess I didn't like the idea of some woman who doesn't even know you having sex with you just so you could relax." She took a deep breath. Here goes nothing. "I don't want to think about you having sex at all" she said.

Jack was really confused, "You don't want me having sex?"

Kate blushed realizing how odd her statement must have sounded, "No, I do, I mean yeah I want you to have sex. Oh god this is not coming out the way I wanted it to." She took a deep breath and refocused. "God Jack, I think the best and only way to do this is just to come right out and say it. I'm in love with you and I freaked because the thought of you having sex with another woman literally makes me sick. I want to be the woman you're with except I don't want to be with you just so you can relax. I don't want to have sex with you I want to make love; I want us to be together because we both want it." She said all in one breath. She waited for his response and could swear her heart was about to come beating out of her chest.

Jack stared at her stunned, had he just heard her correctly, she loved him and wanted to make love to him? He needed a second to regroup but realized she was waiting for him to say something.

"I, uh, I haven't been sleeping because when I do all I dream about is you and I wake up wanting you but you're not mine to have. Claire and Shannon weren't that far off in their theory I am stressed because I want you so bad it hurts. I didn't want to say anything because I always assumed in the end you would go with Sawyer and I couldn't risk the rejection so I just shoved my feeling for you away. Except they didn't go away all they did was stress me out and cause me to stop sleeping and eating." He said nervously. Kate looked at him and a smile worked its way across her face. She walked close to him and looked at him lovingly.

"Really?" she asked her voice full of hope.

"Yes" Jack said and then continued. "I love you Kate." Before he could say anything else he found himself in the tight embrace of Kate as she hugged him hard.

"I love you so much" she said her voice slightly choked up. Jack leaned back slightly and tilted her chin up so he could look at her. He brought his lips down to hers and kissed her gently. Kate let out a slight moan and her mouth opened for him and he deepened the kiss, slipping his tongue into her inviting mouth. Soon the kiss turned from gentle to hungry as they kissed harder and deeper. Kate was running her hands up and down his back trying to touch him all over. She slipped her hands under his shirt and her nails grazed the bare skin underneath. Jack moved his hands lower and slipped his hands into the back pockets of her jeans and pulled her tighter pressing her against him intimately. Kate whimpered as she felt his hardness pressed against her.

"Please Jack." She murmured against his mouth. Jack eased her down and she was lying on the bed. She looked up at him and opened her arms invitingly. Jack smiled at her and settled himself on top of her and she embraced him with her arms and legs. He ran his fingers along the bottom of her shirt and tugged it up and Kate lifted up so he could pull it off. While he was doing that Kate was fiddling with the button on his jeans. She wanted him out of them so badly her fingers were shaking. He stripped off his shirt and let out a gasp when Kate got his jeans undone and slipped her hand inside to gently caress him. He knew if she kept at this for too long he would never last. He pulled away slightly and eased her hand away. She looked up at him confused and disappointed but he smiled at her reassuringly.

"You keep that up baby and we're not going to make it to the good part." He said brushing his lips across hers. Kate felt a shiver travel down her spine at his words. He quickly undid her jeans and tugged them down her legs taking her panties with them. She undid her bra and tossed it to the side. She was focused on getting his pants off that it took her a second to realize he had stopped moving. She glanced at him curiously and when she saw the love and adoration in his eyes she choked up with emotion.

"You are so beautiful" he said as his eyes wandered over her nude body. "You're like a work of art" he whispered appreciatively. Kate sat up so their faces were nose to nose. She ran her hand along his chest feeling the soft hairs tickle her fingers. She never liked chest hair before but with Jack she loved it.

"Love me Jack" she asked softly nipping at his lower lip and Jack nodded and eased her back. He kicked off his jeans and quickly pushed off his boxers. Kate's eyes took in his body and she let out a sigh. "You're the beautiful one" she said gazing at his body.

"Just imagine how we'll look connected." Jack said and his words caused a rush of passion through her.

"Now Jack please" she begged. She needed him inside her. She knew he wanted to please her through foreplay but she couldn't wait that long. "We can go slow next time."

Jack knew she was right if he didn't bury himself within her soon he felt like he was going to die. He lowered himself on her and gently slipped his hand over her sensitive center testing to see how ready she was for him. He smiled when he felt her wetness and he moved his hand back up to brace himself. He slipped inside of her slowly and gently wanting to remember exactly how she feels as he makes his way inside of her. When he was embedded in her deeply they both let out gracious moans of pleasure ar finally becoming one. Kate hitched her legs up a little higher and both groaned as the action caused him to sink inside of her deeper. He stroked her hair and watched her face as she bit her lip as her body adjusted to him. She opened her eyes and they smiled at each other lovingly.

"You feel so good" she whispered and Jack smiled.

"You fit me so perfectly Kate." Jack said kissing her lips gently. Soon the kiss turned into more and Jack began to move within in her as his body began to love her. He watched her as he began to thrust inside her and she began to make little whimpers of pleasure in the back of her throat. Jack began to speed up spurred on by those little noises as he wanted to hear her fully. She gripped him tightly as he pushed in and out of her and every time he sank back into her she could feel her body tense around him invitingly. She had never felt this loved before and when their eyes met she kept his gaze as he moved in and out. Finally when it became too much she closed her eyes while releasing a loud moan. She said his name over and over pleading him for something she wasn't even sure of. Jack began to love her harder and deeper speeding up his thrusts pushing into with a little more force. Soon they were moving at a fast paced rythym and all Kate could do was hold on to him and his body pounded into her as he whispered words of love and affection to her.

Soon she felt her body begin to tense and tingle and she knew she was on the cusp of her release. She met his thrusts with her own and suddenly she felt the explosion work its way through her body. She screamed his name loudly not caring that everyone on the beach probably just heard her. She tensed around him and shook within her embrace as a pure pleasure she had never felt before wracked her body. When she came down she felt like a puddle as she collapsed back against the bed. She heard Jack call her name and suddenly he was hammering into her and seconds later she heard him cry out and she felt him flood her with his hot release. She closed her eyes and memorized every feeling that ran through her as his seed flowed through her. He collapsed against her and she hugged him close comforting him as his body shook within her arms. After a few minutes Jack eased up onto his elbows and looked down at her lovingly. Her hair was mussed and her lips were swollen from his kisses. Her face was flushed slightly and her eyes were sparkling. He figured he looked just the same. He bent and kissed her sweetly and she kissed him back hungrily.

He rolled off and out of her and settled on his back and Kate immediately moved to lay on his chest.

"I love you" she whispered into his ear and she felt his arms tighten around her.

"I love you too" he kissed the tip of her nose. Suddenly he let out a big yawn and Kate smiled amused.

"Guess it worked" she giggled. He smiled sleepily and she was glad he would finally get the rest he so needed. "Go to sleep sweetheart" she whispered and watched as Jack drifted off. Kate snuggled into him and soon followed him into slumber.

Ok there it is and now I'm going on vacation for a week so no more updates :( hopefully when I get back though my writer's block will have vanished. So please review.
