The LOST Writers' Island

I posted this one on Fishbiscuit for the challenge #8 too.

It's a little different...hope it doesn't ruffle too many feathers, but it might over there.

Hurtin'

 

He sat in the house reading, as he usually did every evening.  James had taken a nice long shower after all the work hed done on the new house.  After Kate, Sayid, Sun and the rest of the Oceanic 6 had left, he, Juliet and others that were left had moved back to Otherville.

 

Jin was biding his time mostly until he could find a way to get Sun back and Locke had gone "all mystic" as James put it.  There wasn't much to do.  Everything was supplied for them and once in a while there was an air drop that would come in so James and most of the other people would spend some time sorting and storing that and once it was done, the boredom would set in again.

 

And tonight was no different.  He was wearing just his jeans as he sat in the oversized chair under the single light of the living room.  The stereo played softly on some classic country songs that he liked.  The book was tedious at best and he was quickly reading everything and anything that was on the shelves.  Pretty soon hed have to start borrowing from other stashes.  James took a sip of his wine and went back to reading the book.

 

A little while later there was a soft knock at the door. 

 

"Evenin' Goldilocks."  He said.  Juliet stood in the doorway watching him.  "What can I do you for?"

 

"Uhm, I, uhm..."  She stammered.

 

"Well thats a start."  He said opening the door wider as she walked inside.  He walked into the kitchen and poured her a glass of wine.  "So to what do I owe this pleasure?"  He asked.

 

She hung her head a little bit and then stared back up at him.  He knew what she wanted.  She didnt have to tell him, he knew.  He knew from all the women hed been with before and all the conquests hed made, he knew why she was there and he couldnt help but want the same thing.

 

"I need you James."  Juliet said.

 

"What do you mean?"  He knew exactly what she meant.

 

"Dont make me say it."  She said softly, a tear starting to form in her eyes.  "I needed him and he just left, so easily he just left."  Her voice cracked as she talked.

 

James leaned back against the kitchen counter.  He felt bad for her.  Juliet had loved Jack and he so easily left with Kate.  Not that Kate loved him like he loved her.  She probably didnt, but he knew he had no choice but to get off that chopper.  If he'd stayed, they would have all died, so he had a choice to make and he did it.  And now it seemed to be for nothing.  They both saw the smoke out in the water, as far as they knew Jack and Kate were both gone.  He didn't really believe they were dead but the thought was there anyway.  Surely they got on that chopper.  He had to believe that or he'd take a 9mm to his own head.

 

"She left me too Julie."  James said.  "I jumped off that chopper but if she hadnt wanted to leave to start with, Id have never jumped off.  And now, now it looks like theyre both dead."  He was thinking more when she spoke.

 

"Make love with me, James."  She said softly, tears falling down her face. 

 

"What?"  He asked, his thoughts just getting back to what they were talking about.

 

She swallowed hard and stepped up to him, touching his face and moving her hands down his shoulders and across his chest.  "I'm hurting James.  Please.  Please take it away."  Tears were streaming down her face.

 

The truth was he needed her to.  He wanted to close his eyes and remember the nights in Kate's arms, their bodies melded together.  He wanted to go back to those nights where they laid in each others arms, their bodies connected as they slept.  He wanted to feel how sweet and wet she was and the way she was still all funky and warm the following morning.  James wrapped Juliet in his arms.

 

"Yes,"  Juliet whispered.  "Close your eyes.  Let me be Kate for you tonight."

 

His chest heaved as he let her kiss him.  The electricity in her kiss was more than he could take.  He thought after Kate being gone almost a year that he could handle the lonely nights without her, he could handle sleeping alone, and he could handle the need that was with him every single second of everyday.  But right now, with Juliet's warm body in his arms and her soft lips kissing him, he couldnt help it. 

 

He closed his eyes and let his mind see Kate standing there in his arms.  "Kate."  He whispered. 

 

"That's right James."  She said.  "Let me be Kate.  Let me do to you everything she did.  Let me take it all away."

 

Juliet kissed him deeper and let her fingers hold the ends of his hair as her fingers roamed around his hips and across his abdomen.  James pulled her with him into his bedroom.  He stood her against the bedroom wall and reached down and pulled her tank top up and off her shoulders.  He kissed down her throat and then kissed her deeply, letting his tongue move with hers. 

 

James pressed his body against her, feeling her bare breasts crash against his chest.  James turned her and let her fall backward onto the bed.  He lay above her and sank his weight down onto Juliet.

 

They made love like both of them hadnt loved in years.  He kept whispering Kates name and Juliet closed her eyes and let him be her Jack. 

"Fuck me.  Fuck me James."  She called out as she clung to his body.  He pushed his cock into her harder.

"Yes, yea, baby.  I know you need this.  We both need this."  He groaned as he pushed into her harder.  James dipped his head down and took her nipple between his lips and sucked as he kept pushing into her hard.  He closed his eyes and so Kate below him in his mind's eye.  He saw the way she would arch her body to take him deeper.  He listened to her voice begging him to take her harder. 

It was her fingernails he felt digging into his back.  It was her kisses he tasted as his tongue moved with Juliet's.  It was Kate who was making him come so hard.  It was Kate that was screaming out that the she was coming with him fitted deep inside her.

She closed her eyes and let her Jack take her away.  It was Jack's chest that she kissed through her closed eyes.  It was Jack's body she held on to, and Jack's kisses that she tasted through James' lips. 

"Jack."  She cried as James moved inside her.   Her eyes were closed and her body open as the tears streamed down her face.  James closed his as well and let his body make love to Kate's memory. 

Three hours and 3 orgasms each later, they lay in his bed still holding on to each other.  The morning sun was starting to filter through the shutters and once again James and Juliet woke up in each others arms, both having scratched an itch the night before that they both seemed to have.

 

The only problem was that James still loved and needed Kate and Juliet still loved and missed Jack. 

 

"I'm sorry I used you last night."  She said. 

 

"Don't be sorry."  He said softly.  "We use each other." 

 

"It hurts, you know?"  She said as she propped her head up on her hand and kissed his bare chest.  Kate kissed his chest so many times.  She would lay in his arms in the morning and wake him up with soft kisses.

 

"I know.  I'm hurtin' too."  He said.
