Summary: His eyes were her weakness; full of warmth and affection. Based on what it would be like if Castle and Beckett had of been together before Castle came to work at the NYPD
"So, Mr. Castle, you have quite a rap sheet here; disorderly conduct, resisting arrest" Detective Kate Beckett started as she strolled into the interrogation, Richard Castle sitting on the other side.
"Boys will be boys" he smiled at her. She smiled back. But only he could see the twinkle in her eye as she looked at him and continued to read his file. Not that she hadn't already seen his file.
"It says here you stole a police horse?" this time her tone was teasing.
"Borrowed," he corrected her,
"Ah! And you were nude at the time" her eyes twinkled mischievously and her tone was definitely teasing.
"It was spring" he replied,
"and every time the charges were dropped" she continued as she sat down and opened his file on the tale, scanning for any missed details.
...
"What can I say, the mayors a fan,"
Rick looked at her, she looked even hotter in action, he thought to himself before leaning forward, and adding "but if it makes you feel, any better, I'd be happy to let you spank me,"
Oh how close he was to her lips.
In that moment he would have given everything to kiss her. Absolutely anything. But considering where they were and knowing her, he knew that his luck was very slim. She took her job seriously, even if it were her boyfriend sitting on the other side of the table.
…...
'Damn, why did he have to do those things?' she thought to herself. She had only thought that he was just being his usual charming self to make it seem more like he really didn't know her. But the leaning closer and those lips.
"No, Kate, you have to concentrate on your job" she silently told herself, it was almost like she had two voices in her head, both trying to convince her to do what the other didn't, the other voice in her mind was saying "but look at him, he is so damn hot, and those lips of him, if I could only give one lightly kiss".
Her body began to lean forward, to just taste his lips, those 'kiss-me-now' lips. But something stopped her, that smile on his face, the type of smile that always formed on his face when he was going to get what he wanted.
She wasn't going to give in, nope, she wasn't going to let him think that he could get her so easily.
And sat back on her chair and continue with the interrogation, flashing a smile at him, letting him know that she wasn't to give in easily.
…...
Rick couldn't believe it. The first time they met, she was like a steel brick wall, but eventually the bricks fell. But this time she was proving to be even more difficult. But he saw the subtle wink she shot at him.
Oh this woman was going to be the death of him.
...
"Looks like I have a fan" he had said, looking at the crime scene photos, she had set in front of him.
"Yeah a very deranged fan" she added, staring at him. Trying to read his reaction and see if he was holding anything back.
"Oh you don't look deranged to me" he replied smiling at her, he knew she was a fan. No matter how many times she would deny it, he knew that she loved the thrill of his books. How she could read what other people thought in how detectives worked through their eyes. It was what had drawn him to her. That one day, her smile, the way he could sense something really was wrong with her. A few minutes after she had her book signed and he had finished book signing, he'd gone for a walk, only to see red sitting there, alone. On the swings.
...
"excuse me?" she asked, seeing his eyes snap back to reality to focus on her.
"Hell Hath No Fury? Come on, only Castle groupies read that one" he added with a huge smile in his face.
That made Kate blush a little, it was only noticeable if you were sitting next to her or if you were really close to her, and of course, Rick was there and she was sure that he would have noticed.
But the smile on Rick's face just proved to her that he had seen her blush.
"Do any of theses groupies ever write you letters?" Kate asked him, trying to make the blush disappear
…..
"I knew that she was a fan, and now I can prove it" Rick was telling himself, "that blush prove it all", now Rick was smiling, not only cos he could say the Kate was a fan, he loved when he made her blush, or smile, and the best moments of all were when he made her laugh.
Her laugh was something that he couldn't describe; Kate for Rick was like a goddess.
All of sudden her voice made him come back to the planet, she had asked something to him, something about some letters and fans. Knowing that he had to give an answer. he said the first thing that thought I would make sense with what he thought she asked him.
"All of my fan mail is disturbing. It's an occupational hazard" Rick saw that his answer was something coherent, and that Kate was conform with it.
…..
'Why is he smiling now?' Kate couldn't believe it, she only asked him about his mail and here he is beaming like he had just won the lottery. 'but that doesn't matter, let's just stay on task and try to get on with the interrogation" she told herself shaking her head a little to clear her thoughts and.
"Because sometimes in cases like this, we find that..."
"...the killer attempts to..." said the two of them at the same time, and that made Kate got silent and stayed with a confused look on her face.
"...contact the subject of his obsession. I'm also well versed with psychopathic methodologies. Another occupational hazard. And do you know you have gorgeous eyes"
'Oh no he did not!' Kate couldn't believe it and moreover he made her blush again, in less than 5 minutes, she had blushed two times, but this time Kate reacted quickly and kept talking.
"So I take it you won't have any objections to us going through your mail?" Kate asked him while standing and recollecting all the photos.
She smiled when she saw Rick with a confused face, like wondering if the interrogation was over, cos it really was over. Kate was sure that if she had stayed a few more minutes, she wouldn't have been able to control herself, and would have jumped Rick right then, right now.
...
"Knock yourself out" he said, before seeing her get up to walk to the door.
"Can I get copies of those?" he asked her, his voice sounding hopeful. Trying to see if she would give in and just bend the rules for once, oh he knew what a rule bender she was. But Kate, never liked to bring her work home. Even if she came home from a hard case or a case involving a child, she would be hesitant to talk to him. It wasn't that she didn't trust him. Very much the opposite, but she did like to keep her work life and personal life separately.
...
'What did he just ask me?' She thought, since when did he ever-
"Copies?" she asked confused.
"Yeah, I have this poker game-" he started but was interrupted when she slammed the folder down and leaned over the table right in front of him.
"People have died, Rick" she really wasn't angry, especially when her eyes were telling him the exact opposite of what her face was expressing.
"I'm not asking for the bodies, just the pictures" he replied biting his lip. Trying to stop himself from closing the gap and sealing his lips against hers.
Her response was to cock her eyebrow and smirk before leaning up and walking out of the room.
So... any thoughts?
