I DO NOT OWN CASTLE! I was going to make this a one-shot, but I don't think I am anymore. Review and tell me what you think. Enjoy (;
Chapter One
"Four shots!" an already tipsy Kate Beckett called out to the bartender. After a hard case and a long day, Kate and her partner, Rick Castle went out to his bar, the Old Haunt. They had brought along Detectives Kevin Ryan and Javier Esposito. Sitting at the bar, the four of them were playing truth or dare and it was Beckett's turn. Ryan asked her the famous question. Before she could think about it, those shots were speaking for her.
"Dare," she said and gave the boys a sexy wink. None of them had ever seen Beckett this free with herself and didn't really know how to react. Esposito decided to see how far she would go like this and gave her one he knew she wouldn't take.
"Okay Beckett, I dare you to kiss Castle, not on the cheek, on the lips," he said and winked back at Beckett's stunned face. Surprising all of them, Beckett hopped off her stool and moved around to where Castle was sitting.
"Kate, you don't have to do this," Castle said with a look o disappointment. The boys both knew how much he cared about her and didn't want to hurt her or take advantage of her, especially with her state of intoxication.
Castle held his breath when she leaned in and whispered in his ear, "But Ricky, I want to. I know that we haven't talked about this in a long time, but I want to be with you. I want this to happen. I can't wait any longer." Castle looked directly into her eyes. Beckett held his gaze and watched as he closed the distance. Their lips met in a spark of electricity. Their kiss was hot and passionate, and soon enough Castle and Beckett forgot where they were and who was watching. They were the only two in the room.
Kate's tongue traced slowly along Rick's bottom lip demanding access to his mouth. His arms encircled her body and pulled her closer as his lips parted and their tongues dueled for dominance. Kate took Rick's bottom lip lightly between her teeth and pulled back, causing him to moan and growl as he took control of her lips again. Sometime after that, they heard coughs and chairs screeching against the floor. Instantly, they both remembered that they were in public, at Rick's bar. They flew from each other, eyes flying open. Ryan and Esposito had moved across the bar to give them space. Kate's cheeks burned with embarrassment, but that was quite a kiss. She turned back to Rick, who was staring at her.
"What?" she asked innocently. But before she could finish, his lips crashed down against hers again. Castle grabbed her ass and turned her around so he could push her up against the bar. The kiss turned passionate, and his tongue demanded access into her mouth this time. When they were both breathless, they pulled apart foreheads together.
"Come back to my place," Castle whispered in her ear. By this time Beckett was beginning to feel all the alcohol and it was coming back up, fast. She ran to the bathroom leaving Castle standing stunned at the bar.
Beckett barely made it to the women's room in time. She threw up three times, and was definitely in no condition to go back to Castle's. She was a mess and she knew it. Knowing she ran from Castle at the bar and the fact that she just threw up, tears started falling down her face. Beckett tried to stand up but only made it half way before falling back to the floor. She sat on the floor and locked the stall door. After lying down, she heard a quite knock on the door. She looked under and saw a pair of brown dress shoes that looked oddly like Castle's.
"Kate, are you okay?" he asked in a small voice. She got to her knees and unlocked the bathroom stall. Castle helped her up and washed the running makeup off her face. Once she looked better, he walked her out of the bar and hailed her a cab. They both got in and he rode with her all the way back to her apartment.
"I'll see you tomorrow Kate," he said and gave her a small kiss on the cheek. She got out and went inside. Once she was in the apartment, she fell asleep on the couch, dreaming about what could have happened.
