They aren't officially a couple, but Lost's Sawyer and Kate generate a ton of heat with their spark-filled love/hate attitudes. This unbeatable romantic tension will have to be addressed sooner or later ? the island isn't that big. And after the thieving Kate gave the tortured troublemaker one of the hottest kisses of all time, another may send an S.O.S. to Sawyer's heart.

Kate [hearts] Sawyer.

Kate & Sawyer hook-up on Lost: I don't care that it's on during the family hour, this show needs some sex! Kate's make-out session with Jack didn't cut it. I'll even choose a location: the shower. Or the waterfall. Or the beach. Or the black ship. Or...

She has to hook up with Sawyer!

Lost: Kate & Sawyer
Duo details: On the ABC drama, Kate (Evangeline Lilly, 25) and Sawyer (Josh Holloway, 35) are the island's resident bad girl and boy. He steals; she's a fugitive.
Stay tuned: While they're not a couple yet (he bribed her for a kiss), sexual tension builds as they realize their similarities. During a drinking game, they fess up to their criminal deeds - and shocking sexual histories.

Sawyer, meanwhile, is dealing with the aftereffects of having a semi-functional soul. He's pretty crushed over the death of Ana Lucia, his onetime roll-in-the-hay. Heck, he's so upset, he'll turn to Jack, the man he suspects of ''netting'' his true love Kate in the woods. (Jack, clearly enjoying himself, is doing little to disabuse Sawyer of that suspicion.) But maybe it takes a little grief to clear the head: Congrats, Sawyer, for being the first to point out that Sayid is the only castaway with actual military experience and might therefore be useful in a fight.

Since the crash of Flight 815, Lost's biggest mystery - aside from the polar bears, the smoke monster and the exact nature of life and death on the island - has been Kate and Sawyer or Kate and Jack? On November 8, we got the answer, in a scene best described as caged passion.

The other memorable ‘Lost’ moment of the season was Sawyer and Kate’s steamy sex scene. I say “steamy” because the two have been living outdoors in cages for days (or was it weeks?). While it was nice to see them get all hot and heavy with each other, I couldn’t help but wonder just how smelly the whole thing would be if it were real. Nothing like the stench of sweat, dirt and fish biscuits to get the old mojo going.

Jack loves Kate. Kate loves Sawyer. Sawyer loves himself. Or maybe Kate, too

From the moment they first laid eyes on each other in the wreckage of Flight 815, there's been a slowly building passion burning between Kate Austen and James "Sawyer" Ford.
Both damaged souls with shady pasts, they are fiercely independent even in the wilds of their new home in the jungle. Despite being stranded in the middle of the Pacific, they hold fast to their adopted armor, keeping their distance from those who reach out to them. Yet their metaphorical fences don't apply to one another, as they've connected in a smoldering dance, testing one another's comfort zones while revealing small increments of their true selves. Be it a sexy kiss by a tree, or Sawyer's nickname for Kate of "Freckles," this pair of kindred souls have been captivating one another and Lost audiences since the show began.

Sawyer and Kate - Overwhelming Passion It all started out with a simple display of power from lazy James "Sawyer" Ford, when they thought he had a refill for Shannon's asthma medicine (Confidence Man, season 1). Kate tried to convince him to talk, but had to agree to kiss him. Since then, the looks and remarks exchance were always there.
Freckles, as Sawyer calls her, was always on the fence, but has never stopped showing intrest in him. On episode What Kate Did, on season two, during a delusion caused by a bullet wound infection, Sawyer asks for Kate and lets an "I love her" slip. We're not sure if he was talking about Kate, but she's the one who was taking care of him the whole time, at his bedside.
Romance between them still unfolds on season 3, with the kiss when they're being forced to work for the Others (The Glass Ballerina) and the sex in the cage, before Jack's stunned eyes (I Do). But nothing surpasses episode D.O.C, when Kate goes into Sawyer's tent and, finally, takes their relationship to a more, let's say, sexual level.

There's no denying the power of the love/hate animal attraction that Kate and Sawyer share, which culminated in a sexy tryst in a polar bear cage in season 3. The duo has amazing chemistry. I think one reason that so many people find "Skate" appealing is due to the fact that Kate brings out Sawyer's softer, more heartfelt side. There's nothing quite like a bad boy with a heart of gold.
I'll admit, I normally avoid thinking too much about who should end up with who on the various shows I watch. I usually just go with the flow and am happy to wait and see what the writers have planned. However, in the case of Lost I truly believe that it's Kate and Sawyer who should end up together. Their chemistry is fantastic, they bring out different strengths in one another, and they just look damn attractive together.
