So first off this isn't my story idea, it's one from underthehorizon. She couldn't continue with the story and offered it to me. I've tweaked the first couple of chapters and this is what I have. Most of it is still her writing I have just added bits. So I hope that you enjoy this :)
Disclaimer: Not mine as you very well know.
Kate woke up to the light streaming in and making it's way across her face. She slowly opened her eyes and the first thing she noticed was that it wasn't her room. She felt the weight of someone's arm slung over her. Did she want to know who she had ended up in bed with?
Might as well get this over with. She thought to herself.
She turned slowly and came face to face with the one and only Richard Castle. He looked so peaceful, he let out a soft snore and she resisted the urge to reach out and touch him. She gasped and winced when she remembered what had happened the night before. She laid back for a second gathering her thoughts. 'What was she going to do now? What were they going to do now?'
As she lay going over her thoughts, she heard a bedroom door shut and someone come down the stairs. Before she could actually get up and get dressed she heard the steps coming closer outside his bedroom. She jumped and ran for the bathroom quickly closing the door careful not to make any noise, just as there was a knock at the door.
"Dad? Are you still asleep?" she heard Alexis ask.
Then she heard a thump that she could only imagine was Castle falling off his bed. She smiled, but quickly scolded herself for even thinking of being ok right now. What was she going to do they had just done a very bad thing and all she could think of was how he was going to react. There was a quick silent conversation between the pair. Her thoughts were cut of when Castle opened the door to his restroom and grinned his 12-year old grin that she had learned to love so much.
"Umm…. Beckett why do you look like you just saw a ghost or something?" Castle asked letting out a yawn and rubbing his neck.
"What the hell Castle!" She said in a stern whisper trying not to be heard. "Your daughter nearly caught me in bed with you!"
He looked at her expectedly, as if waiting for her to get to the bad part. "I'm sorry Beckett but I'm afraid I don't see the bad thing here."
"Well Castle, I actually mind people thinking of me as the kind of person who goes around sleeping with guy after guy." She ran a hand through her hair. "Even if you don't mind people thinking of you as the playboy type I am not about to have people think I just sleep around, because I don't have one night stands. I didn't even sleep with Demming at all because we only went out for like-"she stopped and almost recoiled realizing what she had just said. Castle realized it too and stepped forward closing the space between them slowly.
"First, who said this was just one night? Second, did you just admit to having feelings for me because if you don't sleep with guys that you don't love then you must love me." he grinned. She gulped unsure of what to say next.
He smiled and stood their waiting for her answer.
She sighed "Look Castle I think we both know that there has been something between us for a long while now, but I just think that you would like it better if we just forgot this happened and went back to how it was before." she offered a smile.
He stepped closer. "Ohh my dear detective now why would I want to forget about the best night I've had in many years, because for the record I had no idea you were that flexible I didn't think that was possible at all." he cocked his head and grinned. His eyes sparkled and she knew he was remembering last night, very vividly.
She blushed "Look Castle just let me leave please." she said when she realized that he was blocking the doorway. She needed to get out of the loft and clear her head. There was so much she had to think about and she couldn't do it with the main cause of her problem staring at her.
"Kate I can't do that." He took a slight step towards her not wanting to scare her. "Once I have you I can't let you go without a fight."
"Castle please just let me go." Kate sighed. She was only just waking up and needed to have her morning coffee before even attempting a conversation with Castle.
"Okay."
He started moving out of the way and gestured with his hands for her to move into the bedroom. She moved past him when he suddenly moved and grabbed her by the waist and backing her against the doorframe. Before she could react his head moved lower and he kissed her passionately, she was at first stunned before she kissed him back. She dropped the clothes she had in her hand suddenly becoming exposed again, he pulled her in closer as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
When they finally pulled apart for air he looked a little dazed. "Beckett do you really think that I would forget about you?" She looked confused at first before he explained. "I have wanted you since the first time I saw you in line waiting for me to sign your book." She fought the blush that had started to make an appearance and looked down. He lifted his finger hooking it under her chin making sure she looked in his and eyes and smiled. "Yes I remember you there and I haven't forgot you since.
"Castle just promise me that you will take it slow and not ask me to move in with you like tomorrow. Please." she pleaded.
In response he kissed her again this time it was slow and she felt something…. Something she didn't quite recognize… she gasped inwardly. Love. She felt love for this man that she was kissing now. And that scared the hell out of her.
A/N: The next couple of chapters will be up once I've looked at them again. So hope you like it so far, please leave a review. :)
