Hi! Thank you to my new Beta MoonLitSky262 for helping me with this chapter your awesome :)

I just realized ive been forgetting the disclaimers: So yes. For the past like 3 or 4 chapters I still don't own lol

I was extremely disoriented when I opened my eyes because I had no idea where I was. Shouldn't I be in the Red Sage's hut?
Then the memories came flooding back to me; beating the Mountain Pass, not blowing up the world, falling into eight boxes of Dark Eco.

I sat bolt upright. I should be dead or at least changed. I mentally prepared myself to look down and see a ottsel in place of me. Much to my surprise I looked over myself and couldn't find even the most subtle changes.

Nothing.

I had fallen into deadly amounts of Dark Eco, and nothing had happened to me. I didn't even feel the slightest bit tired or anything. I felt fine. Refreshed, even. I looked around the room, hoping to see Jak waiting for me, but he wasn't. He can't be far.

I dangled my feet over the edge of the bed momentarily and got up. I could support myself fine, and I felt like I had just had the longest night's rest.

I swung my arms in a couple of circles and walked around for a bit. I still couldn't believe it. Nothing was wrong with me; the Dark Eco hadn't affected
me at all.

I walked to the door of the room I was in and poked my head out. "Ok, what's on your mind, Kiera?" I faintly heard Samos ask.

"Nothing." I heard, even quieter than Samos's voice had been. I tracked their voices down the hall to a room at the far left. I quietly padded down until I was just to the right of the closed door and waited.

"Kiera, I can tell something is wrong." I felt like an eavesdropper, but I couldn't help it. I had a feeling that I knew what was going to be said in that room.

And here I was thinking I would get away with him leaving what I said in its own place

"No, Daddy, nothing's bothering me. I'm fine." Kiera sounded very bedraggled, and I felt a pang of sympathy for her, even though she had attacked and just about tried to kill me only two days earlier.

"Is this about that kiss shared between Maddy and Jak? You shouldn't be upset about something as simple as that. It's just a kiss, Nothing more."

"It was more than a kiss. A kiss only entails that their lips were touching...honestly daddy, I had noticed that something was going on between them, and if it was just a kiss, then no, I wouldn't be so mad... But they were touching everywhere. Think more along the lines of sucking face. Making-out. Snogging... Foreplay." She stressed the last word.

And then I laughed. For a split second.

Because now that I thought back on it, it pretty much was foreplay. The kissing, the touching, the shirts taken off, the grinding, the...well, the everything.

Now I understood why Kiera was so upset. We looked like we were ready to...Urm...Take the next step.

I shuddered slightly, and not just because the thought seemed so bad, but because at that moment, I HAD wanted too. I didn't want to go there, yet, but I mean, if Jak does that stuff again... No, I would stop him.
I would stop him...
I would be able to stop him...right?

"They wouldn't do that. They've barely even know each other for, what is it now, 3 months."

"They were. It was horrible. I don't know what's worse, that I walked in on them, or that she clearly has him... like, hypnotized. We both know Jak wouldn't have done that before she came here. " Kiera said scandalously.

What bull, I didn't DO anything! Sheesh, give me a break, would you? He is a 16 year old boy, they tend to have teenage boy hormones. He probably just didn't want to talk to samos about that, nor did he want to do anything with kiera, how is that my fault?

There is NO way that Samos would believe that I had anything to do with that. He was old, but he couldn't have forgotten his teen years, could he?

...Could he?

"I'll…. Talk to her." Samos said awkwardly. I quickly shuffled back to my room. I had heard movement inside the room, saying that he was probably coming to check up on me.

I had quickly seated myself on my bed, just seconds before Samos came in. "You seem to get hurt a-lot don't you?" He said as he walked through the door, smiling in a way that made me think he was just going to pretend to talk to me for kiera sake.

For about a second.

I grinned, despite my thoughts.

"Where are we?" I had to play up the 'why am I here? I don't know
what I'm doing,' thing.

"Yellow Sage's hut." He said quietly. I could see him broaching the subject, braving himself to say it. I wanted to make it easier on him, but I couldn't do that without him knowing that I had heard his conversation with Keira. To be honest, I just wanted to get it over with.

"Something on your mind?" I asked. Here we go.

"Yeah, actually, there is... Okay. Here it is. You and Jak seem to be moving very . . . erm . . . quickly, relationship-wise."

Samos began awkwardly, "and Kiera told me that you two seemed to be approaching . . . uhh . . ." He paused, took a deep breath, and said,

"Ok. Kiera thinks you and Jak are having...Are doing things you shouldn't" He said before letting out his breath and taking in my reaction.

Even though I had been prepared for this, I couldn't stop my face from
ripping into a flaming blush. "Please, Samos. Don't give me that talk," I begged him, "My mom already has... And trust me. I don't want to go there with Jak." That sounded rude and so..specific. "With anyone. I wouldn't want to bring any children into this world just to have it end in a few short months." That slipped out, and I instantly regretted it. That simple sentence showed how much I knew. Samos looked at me inquisitively so I added, "I mean, if that ever happens. That is my greatest fear, Bringing a child into a dying world. But um..I wouldn't. Because...I don't want to do anything like that.."
Insert foot here.

He was still looking at me funny. He opened his mouth to say something more, but I was saved by the bell. Or more specifically, by Jak poking his head. 'Maddy you're awake. And Safe. And alive!" he yelled out joyously, in my head of course.

"Jak! I screeched, before Samos even knew he was coming in, having not heard him. I threw myself into his open arms. I nuzzled my face into
his shoulder, for about a second, and then I realized why Samos was here and quickly let go. Jak looked at me questioningly and I just shook my head, almost imperceptibly.

"Well, I'll take my leave now." Thankfully, Samos was letting us have our reunion in private.

After Samos was well gone I said, "Hi."

"Come here." I heard. Jak sat down on the bed I had been sleeping on and opened his arms. I quickly went to him and sat down, my back to his chest, and leaned back, resting my head on his shoulder. 'Thank the Precursors. You're Ok. You didn't die. I didn't kill you.' Jak was reassuring himself.

'How would you have killed me?'

'I was the one driving wasn't I?'

'So. You had to drive through those Blue Eco vents. I'm ok though, I don't even feel hurt at all.'

'I'm just so glad you're ok. You know that your heart stopped three times?'

This was news to me.

'Three?' I thought incredulously.

'Three.' He replied grimly.

After that we didn't talk. I was thinking of how close I had been to dying, the Dark Eco coursing through my body clearly did something, even if it felt like nothing.

I was brought out of my thoughts when I felt Jak's lips on my neck, kissing their way down, softly. This isn't bad.
Nothing's going to happen from a few kisses. Samos even said kissing wasn't bad. When he reached my collarbone, he started kissing his way back up. Nothing bad could come of this, as long as he doesn't.. My though was interrupted from his lips behind my ear. My sweet spot that he had found before. That darn spot was definitely a weakness I wish he didn't know about.

He laved his tongue over the spot over and over making delicious shudders run up and down my body. Before I knew it, Jak had turned my body around until I was straddling him. He lightly kissed my nose, then moved to my lips. I pulled away, slowly, and this time moved my head to his neck.

If he knew where my sweet spot was, I was going to find his.

I started kissing down his neck, and stopped when I reached the spot where his collar bone and neck met.

Also the spot where he stretched his neck out to my lips further, while I heard my name lightly in my head, like a whisper. I slowly sucked on that one part, slightly biting his neck, then moving my lips and putting my face back in front of his.

He placed his left hand behind my neck, pulling my face to his and kissing me with slight force. In hindsight, sucking on his neck wasn't exactly a great idea when I was going to stop.

Neither is kissing back with just as much force. Despite the small, almost insignificant at this point, warning going off in my head, I was kissing back enthusiastically.

I felt his tongue lick my bottom lip, asking for permission to enter the caverns of my mouth. This reminded me of Samos's talk.
I don't want to go too far. I didn't think it would go even this far. But I would stop this before it went anywhere
other than kissing. I know I would.

Feeling reassured, I opened my mouth to his, and his tongue entered my mouth, exploring. This time, I fought back, pushing my tongue onto his.

When I had finally won dominance, though I am pretty sure he just let me win, I stuck my tongue in his mouth, gasping at the taste of
him. He tasted like cinnamon; sweet and spicy at the same time. Other wise known as delicious.

My arms had found their way up until they were wrapped around his neck. He connected his arms behind my back, trapping me to him, and started moving backwards until his back was pressed up against the wall. I took the moment just before his back was against the wall to
wrap my legs behind him, trapping my legs there.

This successfully pushed my warm center against his hard one.

I had completely forgotten about Samos and Kiera and everything that wasn't Jak at this point. I honestly just didn't care. I only cared about satisfying the feelings that were pushing me onward and elongating the delicious sensations that were taking course in my body right now.

And that's about the time when I did it again. I was probably pushing my luck, I knew I shouldn't be doing this, but the warning was barely even there anymore. I started grinding my center onto his, and I could hear his grunts/moans inside my head.

I didn't know why I was doing this, just to stop him if he wanted to go
farther. That was rude of me. At this point I didn't know if I wanted to stop, though.I didn't care. My main focus for right now was to keep getting those beautiful sounds coming from him, even if they were only in my head.

It would probably be better if I could keep from making any noise other then in our heads, because Kiera and Green stuff were down the hall, and they could hear something.

It wasn't even smart to do anything here, because Daxter could walk in at any point.

I laced my hands into his hair and started tugging. Its really good that he liked that, because I don't think I could have resisted hair was so perfect, and flame shape, and well..perfect.

His hands were under my shirt now, fiddling with the hook of my bra. Well he was a hormone driven teenager. He seemed to be having as much trouble with my bra as I had his armor. Ha ha, now he knows how I felt. I smiled slightly, and un hooked his armor, just to show him I could do it.

It seemed to frustrate him slightly, as I heard a slightly annoyed groan inside my head. I pulled my face from his, because I way dying to breath.

I also deftly reached behind my back and unhooked it with
one hand. I went back to kissing him after that.

It was just a bra. It wasn't going to lead to anything special. I was the one who did it anyways. I tried to tell myself this multiple times. Nothing's going to happen. Nothing is going to happen. Nothing is going to happen.
His hands moved their way to the front of my shirt and started massaging my breasts. I couldn't help but moan out loud, pulling away from our kissing. He looked up at me and grinned, obviously liking the feeling and the sounds I was making. He tweaked the pink mounds that tipped each breast. "Oh dear God, Jak." I said out loud before I could stop myself.
I looked down at him and he was smirking at me. I should be annoyed at that, but I honestly couldn't care less.

In fact, all I really felt in response to his smirk was need. And want.

I couldn't help my actions threw myself into grinding down onto his now rock hard center that was tenting the front of his caprice.

'Oh Precursors, Maddy. What are you doing to me?' Jak groaned in my head.

'I think that's pretty obvious isn't it?' I replied breathily into his head. It was weird how even though talking in our heads was basically just thinking, it still sounded as if it would if we were to talk.

I pushed myself down onto him, harder than ever, and I seemed to be doing something right because in my head I heard, 'Oh, Maddy. If you keep this up, I don't think I'll last long.' I felt him go even stiffer
under me, and then I heard him do something that really confused me.

'Dead puppies. Old Grannies. Spiders. Samos. Bird Lady.' The stiffness under me went a little less stiff. Then I realized what he was doing. He was trying to stop from . . . Oh, jeez, was I doing that to him?

Well I guess he wasn't trying to talk to me with those words.

I knew it was time to stop now. I should have stopped this a long time ago. I
shouldn't have let this happen. Now I was all hot and bothered and I wanted to
keep going,and I couldn't bring myself to stop. I knew I had too, but I couldn't.

He took his lips away from mine. We still needed to breathe.

I leaned in and kissed him again, though he pulled away when I did so. I gave him a puzzled look, and then heard his voice in my head.

"You don't want to do this.. You want to stop" he said, and I felt him deflating under me. "N-no that's not it, I dont." I protested, but I know it was no use.

He shook his head and spoke to me again.

"Maddy, you think I cant tell?" He said, obviously referring to our physic connection.

I sighed in defeat. I wanted to climb off of him to resist the temptation, now that I had the courage to tell him we should stop, but his hands held firmly at my waist. "You know when Samos was here before you walked in?"
He nodded. "He was telling me to not take it too far with you. He's worried for you, and if we did I think Kiera might explode." I joked weakly, though I was actually ** off about the connection right about now.

'No, Maddy, it's fine. I understand completely. I'm sor," I cut off the words in my head.

'Jak Mar if you say you're sorry, I think I just might explode. Did I look hurt or anything?' I questioned.

'No. You just looked really ** amazing to me.' He said and I paused. I hadn't expected that.

That was when I realized I had never heard him cuss before. It was also when I realized how hot it was when he cussed. But then I remembered that I would probably be hearing him cuss a lot more in Jak 2, if I even lived that long, that is, which slightly upset me to know that the Jak in front of me would be gone in a not-long-enough amount of time.

'Exactly' I said, feeling my face light up in a slight blush pushing away the thoughts of dark Jak, so that he couldn't see.

He moved his hands so I could get up, and I did. Right when I did, Jak pulled be back down till I was sitting next to him. I laid my head on his shoulder and relaxed.

When I risked looking down I noticed he was still rock hard and I giggled.

Actually giggled.

What is this guy doing to me?

"Don't laugh, its your fault, anyway." He said, and I stopped, smile still on my face.

What he said next surprised me.

"Before.. You said 'Oh God' and then my name" He replied to me.

Both of our faces heated up when he said that, though im sure mine was much redder.

How the hell do I explain that?

"Uh..Its just another way to say precursors in my wor- er.. where I'm from."

I guess he could tell I didn't want to talk about it more, or assumed that it was rude to bring up the place that I wanted to get back too, so he left it at that, and we sat there, enjoying each other's company.

...I still can't believe I giggled...
