Ok so I know last nights episode was the Skiss but it really wasn't that bad and in fact made me believe Jate is going to totally happen. So I'm in an awesome mood and in the mood to write some Jate.

I CAN TAKE CARE OF HIM

Kate sat in her cage watching the Others curiously as they worked outside her cage. She couldn't help but ponder yesterday's events. She still hadn't seen Jack and no one would tell her anything. She wanted to ask the girl who owned the dress but she didn't get a chance. She had been so sure if she dug her heels in they would let her see him but instead they zapped Sawyer. As much as he probably deserved to be zapped that wasn't one of them and Kate couldn't let Sawyer keep getting tortured because she wanted Jack. She watched the blonde woman from yesterday walk past and noticed she threw Kate almost a smug look. Juliet was her name, Kate was positive that was what one of the guys called her. Sawyer had said Juliet was dangerous because she would pull the trigger with no problem. Well Kate could do the same. She sneered back at the smug smile and wondered what Juliet thought she had on her.

Suddenly the young girl from yesterday came up and grabbed Juliet's arm and started talking frantically. Luckily the girl wasn't lowering her tone and Kate could hear what they were saying, she glanced across the way and noticed Sawyer was listening in as well.

"He won't eat, he's growing too weak. Ben says if you can't handle him then maybe." The young girl said.

"I can handle him, Alex" Juliet said with authority in her voice. "He is beginning to trust me he just needs more time."

"Any more time and he'll be dead from dehydration and starvation; we need him alive, it's why we brought him here in the first place." Tom piped in sarcastically. "Face it Juliet your feminine charms aren't working on the good doctor, he's going to die."

Kate felt her body freeze, they were talking about Jack? She felt relief that he was indeed still alive, then the rest of the conversation filtered through her already racing brain. He wasn't eating or drinking, could be dying. Her heart started to race as she felt the fear creep into her chest. She couldn't lose Jack, not now, not ever. She watched as Juliet acted confident but the other people were looking at her skeptically. Kate frowned, this woman was allowing Jack to die, whatever she thought she could do wasn't helping and Jack needed care. Before she could stop herself she opened her mouth.

"I can get him to eat and drink" she said.

Slowly all eyes turned towards her including Sawyer's. Juliet's mouth turned up in an unbelieving smile but Kate refused to back down.

"I don't recall anyone asking for your input" Juliet said looking at Kate as if she were nothing but trash.

"No but you weren't real quiet in your discussion that Jack is becoming ill and you need him. He won't eat or drink for you but he will for me." She thought about what she was saying and then amended her statement. "I mean you can threaten to hurt me but even then he probably won't budge, what he needs is for me to take care of him. I've done it before." She thought back to the time she drugged him and would have probably hand fed him his soup if Shannon hadn't taken the dam gun case key.

"Ben says we need to do everything possible, we can't lose him" Alex said looking at Juliet knowing the blonde was not happy with Kate's interference.

"I can handle Jack" Juliet said, she threw Kate another look. "Anyway he's beginning to trust me and he won't need your help" she said emphasizing the word your.

Kate turned to look at Tom who looked unsure. "Do you really want to risk it? Do you really want to see if she can pull it off, because it sure sounds like she can't. I can though; I can take care of him and make him healthy. Please just bring me to him and I will make him better." She implored Tom ignoring Juliet completely. Sawyer watched her quietly wondering what she was up to. If it was him then he figured she was working on an escape plan, sadly she wasn't him and he could see right through her. She really did want to go play nurse to the doc. He sighed and tried to refrain from rolling his eyes. He had kissed her yesterday and was pretty sure it was a good one but here she was ready and willing to go feed and water Jacko.

Kate never took her eyes off of Tom who was contemplating what she was saying. He took out a radio and spoke into it quietly so Kate couldn't hear, but from the sour look on Juliet's face Kate was sure she was winning. Juliet stomped up to the cage.

"Listen up you little twit, I don't know what your game is, but" Juliet started out.

"My game is to take care of Jack and obviously you are doing a lousy job of it so I will care for him." Kate said smugly. She watched as a smile appeared on Juliet's face.

"Hmm and what makes you think Jack will even want you near him? Especially when he hears how you made out with Sawyer while he's been locked away. Chances are he won't want to touch you with a ten foot pole and he'll probably need some comfort, gee maybe that will be when I step in." Juliet said cheerily.

"You bitch" Kate snarled, "You know that isn't what happened." She calmed herself so as to not let Juliet win. "Why don't you let me talk to Jack and see what happens?" Kate said her voice full of fake sugar.

Juliet shook her head annoyed, "Why should you get to make out with him one day and then get Jack the next, what makes you so special?" Juliet asked.

Kate let out a chuckle, "You want Jack for yourself?" her voice disbelieving. "You think he's going to fall in love with you or something?" Kate asked letting out a laugh.

Juliet smirked, "At least with me Jack will know where we stand, he won't have to worry about me running off on him with some hillbilly. And he'll know when he kisses me I won't run away."

Kate let out a growl as she reached through the bars to grab Juliet around the neck. Unfortunately the blonde was too quick and Kate only managed to grasp air. They were interrupted by Tom.

"Easy ladies, I just talked to Ben, he wants to see what Ms. Austen can do for Dr. Shephard's condition." Tom said unlocking her cage.

"Oh yeah I'm sure she'll think of something to ease the Doc's pain" came Sawyer's sarcastic retort which just earned him dirty looks from Kate and Juliet.

"Oh what everyone's a critic?" Sawyer asked exasperated. Kate just rolled her eyes and went willingly with Tom eager to see Jack. She noticed Juliet storm past them, probably trying to talk Ben out of letting her in or trying to tell Jack about the kiss before she could explain. She wasn't worried though, once she spoke to Jack she knew she could explain everything.

They walked for awhile and eventually they came to a hatch door similar to the one back at their camp. They got in and Kate found herself in an elevator. When it came to a stop they walked down a long corridor, to Kate it seemed forever because she knew she was so close to Jack. They came around a corner and Kate saw Juliet arguing with Ben and by the looks of it Ben was winning. They looked up to see Kate and Juliet scowled where Ben gave her a small smile. He handed her a tray with food, drink and a bowl of water and soap there was also a bag on the tray and Kate could see a razor and toothbrush among other things inside.

"He needs to eat and drink or he will die" Ben said simply and Kate nodded everyone there agreeing on that being the last thing they wanted.

They opened the door and Kate walked in and set the tray on the table confused for a second, where was he? Then she saw him sitting in the corner, limp like a rag doll. She let out a gasp and ran to his side.

"Jack" she pleaded gently rubbing his cheek and patting it gently. "Please Jack, come on I need you to wake up,"

Jack muttered something and his eyes slowly fluttered open and he focused on her.

"Kate?" he asked confused. He looked her over skeptically as if not expecting her to be real.

"Hi" she whispered caressing his cheek again. "Are you ok? I've been so worried about you."

Jack eased himself up into a straighter position and looked over Kate still confused and slightly dazed from his lack of food and water.

"You look pretty" he said softly and Kate realized he just noticed her dress. Unlike when Sawyer said it Kate felt chills run down her spine and she blushed.

"Thanks" she said with a roll of her eyes. "You don't look so bad yourself handsome" she said sweetly and he chuckled lightly.

"So" he said clearing his voice "Did you know they had contact with the outside world?" Kate shook her head. "It seems W got re-elected." Jack said with a snort.

"Hmm" Kate said thoughtfully, "Think they will let us stay here?" she asked and Jack laughed again. She settled next to him and leaned on his shoulder gently just happy to touch him again.

"I brought you something." She got up and walked to get his tray. She brought it back and set it in front of him. He made a face of disgust and went to push it away but Kate stopped him with her hand.

"No Jack, you have to eat. Please?" she asked noticing how he was watching her warily. She sighed at his stubbornness and quickly took the bite of soup, it was tomato. She swallowed and looked at him. "See not poisoned, please eat Jack."

He sighed and shook his head and Kate looked around the room and noticed the security camera on them. She bet Juliet was watching right now. She looked back at Jack and leaned close to his ear.

"Good boys who eat all their food get rewarded" she said with a chuckle and Jack looked at her a small smile on his lips.

"Is that so?" he asked and Kate nodded. "So what kind of reward are we talking about?"

"Well if you drink you're water you get a hug, if you eat half you're soup you get a kiss, the whole bowl and you get tongue." She said matter of fact and Jack let out a loud laugh and Kate was happy to hear it.

"Eh I kind of prefer my women to kiss me willingly not because they feel obligated to" he said giving her a small smile letting her off the hook.

"Who said I feel obligated, why do you think I want you to eat and drink up Jack" she said with a teasing smile. Jack chuckled again and took the soup and began to eat. His stomach was weak so he went slowly and when Kat noticed he had finished half of it she set took it from his hands and leaned up to press her mouth against his. The kiss was slow and sensual and their lips just brushed against one another. Kate wanted to slip her tongue into his mouth but she refrained.

"Almost there" she said huskily when they pulled apart. Jack looked at her thoughtfully and instead drank his water, when he finished it Kate pulled him into her embrace and hugged him tight. She sighed happily as she buried her nose into his neck, she had missed the feel of his arms and the smell of him that was a mixture of man, sweat and ocean all mixed with something that was just him. He pulled away and their noses bumped together.

"Finish the soup baby" she whispered hungrily and their eyes collided and he gave her a small nod. She watched as he finished it off and when he was done he found Kate straddling his lap her face close to his. "Good boy" she teased and then she leaned in and pressed her mouth to his again. He let her direct the kiss and he let out a small moan as Kate rubbed against him seductively. She slipped her tongue past his lips and allowed it to lazily explore his mouth and teeth. He returned the kiss and soon their tongues were dueling, soft moans were coming from Kate and they were driving him mad. Finally when the need to breathe overwhelmed them they pulled apart gasping though Kate dragged her lips across his a couple time to remain in contact. They rested their foreheads against each other and Jack smiled.

"You know I'm going to expect this at every meal" and Kate giggled.

She nuzzled him and whispered in his ear. "I love you"

He pulled away and looked at her his face filled with confusion and hope.

She shrugged, "Time's too short and I don't want to waste any more. I need you to know something, Sawyer kissed me yesterday, it didn't mean anything and I didn't kiss him back" she said hurriedly and was surprised to find Jack's mouth upon her once again. She melted into the kiss and gave him her mouth to explore fully. When they pulled back she sighed.

"Wow" she said dazed.

"I love you too" Jack said caressing her cheek.

Kate hugged him tight she then remembered the bag on the tray and leaned over and grabbed it. He watched curiously as she pulled things out.

She gave him a wicked smile. "Ok it looks like we will continue this little game of give and take" and she giggled at him.

"What's left?" he asked and was slightly stunned by her naughty smile.

"Well we have a razor and shaving cream, tooth brush and paste and water and soap. So if you let me shave you I will let you kiss any part of my body that doesn't expose me to the camera" she said with a chuckle. She giggled at the irony of the next task. She leaned close to his ear knowing she was going to get a strong reaction. "If you brush your teeth I'll go down on you." Just as she thought she felt him jerk beneath her and she felt him grow harder under his jeans. "And if you let me bathe you, you get the full package." She licked at his ear gently.

"Full package?" he asked his voice hoarse.

"Yup" she whispered leaning on his lap a little harder. "You and me, me on your lap and you inside me" she whispered in his ear and he let out a groan. Kate couldn't resist and she buried her lips in his neck sucking at the skin gently and his hands came up to clasp her close. She pulled away and smiled at him lovingly.

"Time for that shave" she said and he nodded dumbly. Kate gently lathered his face and gently eased the razor over his face. She had only seen him clean shaven a handful of times but on those rare times she wanted to jump him pretty hard. In between the slow and steady strokes Kate would lean in and kiss him gently getting shaving cream on her. When she was done she wiped his face with the towel and her own nose and cheek. She smiled at him and whispered. "You get to kiss me" she nuzzled his ear. "Wherever you want."

"I want to taste you" he whispered, "but I know this isn't the right time or place". So he pulled her close and his eyes moved down her neck. Kate pulled the straps down her dress knowing what he wanted. He met her eyes and he looked at her for permission which she gave it to him eagerly. He bent his head and took her breast into his mouth and suckled it gently. Kate whimpered burying her hands in his hair and holding him close. Her head tilted back and sighed with pleasure as he licked and nibbled her. He moved to the other one and he groaned as he felt her rock her hips against him. He pulled away it was becoming too much for him. He straightened her dress so nothing was showing. He grabbed the toothbrush and paste and quickly brushed his teeth. Kate bit her lip in anticipation knowing soon she was going to have him in her mouth. Jack on the other hand had different plans. When he was done he kissed her hungrily.

She went to unzip his pants and he groaned in her ear. "Not now sweetheart, later when we're out of here we can taste each other but not here, they can see too much." Jack said.

Kate out a little huff of disappointment and looked at him pleadingly. He kissed her nose gently and wet the washcloth Kate undid the buttons of his shirt and helped him off with his shirt. She helped him wash clean and her eyes hungrily followed down to his jeans. He pulled her over him so her dress flowed around his thighs and covered them both. He undid his zipper and pulled his jeans down. Kate attached her mouth to his neck wanting him so bad she was afraid she'd die from it. She leaned down and helped him free himself from the confines of his pants. When she held him in her hands she adjust them again so they dress covered everything. She pulled the crotch of her panties and moved them aside and lowered herself and took him inside of her fully. She let out a whimper as he entered her fully. She held him tight as they rocked against each other. Their movements were small and to a casual observer it could look like they were just in a lovers embrace but the sounds coming from Kate and the look of ecstasy on Jack's face was a dead giveaway to what they were doing.

Kate rocked harder wanting to feel him all the way. She started to gasp as he attached his mouth to her neck and small groans came from his lips.

"I love you" she whimpered. "God Jack, I love you so much." She rocked harder and Jack took her by the hips and led her up and down on him.

"I love you too Kate" he said brushing his mouth against hers only to have her kiss him hard. They both found the position to not meet their needs and Jack looked around wanting to love her but not in a way that would expose her to the camera. He grabbed her and pulled himself to his feet keeping her legs tight around his waist. He turned her quickly and pressed her against the wall. His jeans were still up and his body blocked hers so the others could see nothing but the motions. Kate cried out as she found herself pressed against the wall. He sank into her deeper and she kissed him hungrily. Jack thrust within her and Kate felt her climax coming she was whimpering and whispering into his ear all kinds of things. Promises of more times ahead and how it will be between them as she spoke he pumped inside her harder.

Soon Kate was coming hard and he came following her emptying himself within her. She whimpered and tried to catch her breath as her body came down from the high. When she did she met him in a lazy kiss and Jack set her down readjusting her underwear and dress. Kate helped tuck him back into his jeans and zipped him up. They wrapped their arms around each other and kissed long and sensually making out like a bunch of teenagers. Jack suddenly became aware of the door opening and Tom entering the room.

"I love you" he said knowing though they would be apart he would find her again.

"I love you too" she said kissing him one last time. The whole way out she never took her eyes off of him as they led her out. When the door slammed and he was gone she turned to face Ben and Juliet. She kept her face stoic.

"Good job, Ms. Austen you handled him very well." Ben said with a smirk but Kate kept her face still, that was until she passed Juliet and then she threw the blonde a huge grin. When she was brought back to her cage, Sawyer noticed the glow she had.

"Son of a bitch" he swore to himself, it looked like she had helped the doc out all right.

He watched as they locked her back up but Freckles was watching a very pissed off looking Juliet. Kate smirked at her with such gloating even Sawyer couldn't help but be amused. As Juliet stormed off Kate followed her from inside the bars.

"Hey Juliet" she called out and the blonde whirled around and went to stand in front of Kate refusing to back down.

"What?" she asked sharply.

Juliet watched as a confident smile broke out over Kate's face, "He tastes like chocolate" she said and with she licked her lips and walked away and Juliet stormed off down the path. Kate settled on the floor letting her mind replay the events of earlier and bubble of happiness rose through her.

Sawyer swore again, he had been told he tasted like fish biscuits, "Son of a Bitch"

Ok there it is sorry for the spelling and grammar errors I'm in a rush
