"You're funny Castle." She heard herself say. Her heart was pounding; she could hear it in her ears as she wrapped her arm around Castle's waist and placed the other just below his chest. As he held her tight as she thought about what they were going to do. If it worked Ryan and Esposito would be safe out of the building, if it didn't, well she didn't want to think about that.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw the guard step off his post and walk towards them, one of his hands in his coat where she know his gun was hidden. She guessed Castle saw him too because he halted them to a stop, facing each other.
She thought that was the moment to act, so she reached for her gun but Castle pushed her hand away with his and placed it on her hip. The other cupped her cheek and stroked her face once, leaving a blaze where his bare fingers had touched. Then he moved his fingers into her hair and pulled her to him. At first Kate didn't know what to do but soon adrenaline took over and she began to kiss him back until she suddenly pulled away.
All it took was one second. A second to see what was in his eyes. But what was in his eyes? And why did she feel so drawn to him? Drawn to his lips? The guard standing not ten feet away from them brought her back to her senses, her sense to stay alive. There was only one thing to do, she had to do it again, and honestly, she was just using the guard as an excuse to kiss Castle again. A second, that's all it took.
As quickly as she had pulled away she drove right back in. Once his lips were on hers again a flow of passion entered her and quickened through her veins. God, what was this? Soon only her lips on him was not enough, and her hands found his face and brought him closer to her. His hand cradled her face to his while the other slowly rubbed her back, effective in both calming her and moving her closer to him. It was a battle between them, like it always was, and to get the upper hand she bite his lip. Just like she wished, he fought back hard and she let out a moan that she couldn't control as Castle's tongue found hers. Damn she thought as she considered really letting herself go.
Kate and Castle weren't the only ones enjoying the show, and Kate was once again brought back to mission by a chuckling guard getting ready to get back to his post. Kate knew that was the time to act. Reluctantly she let go of Castle, grabbed her gun and spun right in time to hit the guard in the back of the head with the butt of her gun. Like they say, the bigger they are the harder they fall, and this guy was big.
Kate's head was still spinning with everything that had just happened: Castle, the boys, the guard and not dying. But as she turned back to Castle she could tell it was taking him a little longer to process things. Finally he looked at her and said, 'That was amazing!' God, he had no idea, she had had no idea! They were good. But she couldn't let him no at that very moment, so she gave him one of her famous glares. And then he added, 'The way you took him out I mean. It was ….' Typical Castle.
Castle, he was so cute sometimes, she just wanted to…no, they had business to do. Ryan and Esposito depended on them. 'Let's go.' She told Castle when he nodded she just turned and walked away, fully knowing that he would always follow her. As she turned, she missed Castle bringing his hands up to his face making sure it had been real, that because of the intensity of the kiss, his lips were still there. Yes! It had happened, he had kissed the great Kate Beckett, but not only that, but she had kissed him back.
