She's walking to work today, feels like doing something good for the environment, plus she'd left her car at the precinct since she wasn't on call for the past two days. It's beautiful out, clear sky and perfect temperature. The only thing that would make this moment better than it already is would be her hand intertwined with a certain writer man who has very recently become her one and done. She'll see him as soon as she gets to work though, and smiles because she knows he'll be toting her morning coffee goodness along with her bear claw. Mmm…delicious; her stomach growls just at the thought of it and she instantly picks up her pace so she can get to all three of them sooner. "Oh," she whispers and feels herself suck in a big gulp of air. Her stomach does another flip flop, but this time it's not because of her hunger but more a result of her reaction to the song that's just begun playing in her ears. It's the song she chose to put on her 'Castle' iPod playlist after her first morning with him. Her most favorite morning of her entire life, one she still daydreams about. She turns it up, smiling like a fool walking through the streets of her city, hunger forgotten as she remembers.


I feel sweet, do you feel sweet?

It's amazing

I have no skin, and I feel everything

It's amazing

I feel good, when you feel good, I knew I would

And it's amazing

I've wanted this for so long; now the deed has been done

We shall rise with the sun, and spend our time as one

Now there is no sin, in anything

And it's amazing

I love life, I hope you do to, 'cause I love everything

It's all amazing

I feel you, do you feel you?

I understand, when they say we're born again

'Cause I feel born again, I'm born again

And it's amazing

And it's the best thing, and it's glorious

It's life changing, this feeling

Is amazing

It's in the stars, in the sun

It's everywhere, in everyone

And it will be everyday, from now on

From now on, we are one

And it's amazing

-Amazing, One eskimO

Kate's eyes flutter as she feels warm breath tickling her ear. His hot, wet, tongue wraps itself around her lobe, he softly sucks, and she experiences a slight pulling sensation as he captures it between his lips. It feels so good, and the tingling has already begun to travel south in her body, leaving a trail of pure desire behind.

She opens her eyes, out of the corners watches his head move slowly in time with the feelings she's experiencing on the left side of her face. His warm, naked body is pressed against her side and his leg is possessively wrapped over her thigh and draped down perfectly between the two of hers. She turns her body to face him and slides her arm around the middle of his torso eventually leaving them to rest in the center of his lower back…very lower back. She pushes her pelvis into him before she speaks.

"Morning Rick," she says huskily, looking into his beautiful deep blue eyes.

She smiles and looks down shyly, her eyelashes ticking his nose as they flicker closed. She giggles, and then leans in touching her soft lips to his. She lingers, and pushes even further into him so her nose squishes into the side of his as her tongue begins to slide across his bottom lip. She pulls back a bit, opens her eyes to get a peek of him only to find his wide open and staring at her with so much love. It lasts for just a few seconds before he dives back towards her, pushing his tongue through her open lips and swirling it with hers. He wraps his hands around her neck and then glides them along her smooth skin before grasping her hips and rolling her onto her back pushing her further into the mattress with his strong large frame.

He moves away from her lips, slathering butterfly kisses along her jaw and up towards her ear again. God his mouth feels so good roaming all over her body; last night he drove her wild just tasting every inch of her with his luscious lips. He lingers a few seconds before moving down the side of her neck and across her collar bone, and then he's moving upward again along her throat and under her chin eventually ending up right back at her lips. He's plunging his tongue into her mouth again this time forcing a moan along with it. He's so turned on; she feels it pushing against her inner thigh and her body instantly reacts to him by moving her thighs slowly apart. They've only been together in this way for mere hours, but they are so in sync. It's like her body was made for his, he is her perfect; but somewhere deep down she knew this was the case…it's why she worked so hard to tear down her wall.

He pulls away, finally speaking, "good morning baby, did you sleep well?" He's leaning on his forearms now, just gazing down at her so seriously.

"If you call that sleep…then yes, I had the best sleep of my life."

She squints her eyes a bit as she smiles at him like she never has before. It's big and beautiful, all of her teeth showing, and her tongue curled behind just itching to push through. It's sexy and full of love and her eyes seem to sparkle in the most striking way adding to the love that's beaming at him from her sleepy face. She moves up and kisses him again; she just can't get enough of him, nuzzling their noses together and running her fingers up and down his back and shoulder blades.

"Say it again, Kate" he whispers in her ear as she's torturing his already fuzzy brain with her delicate touches and intimate gestures.

She wants him to see her face this time, her eyes. "I love you, Rick. I love you so much." She stares into him for a few short seconds careful that he sees her love. Then she seals her words with a kiss so tender it brings a tear to her eye.

"Hey, what's that for," he quietly asks, kissing the tear away with his lips.

"I'm so happy for us…that we finally made it here. My wall is gone Rick, obliterated…for me, for you, for us…so we can have a beautiful future." She's watching him carefully, unsure a little of what his reaction may be.

"No more secrets?" He kisses her lightly on the side of her right cheek, before moving back to his clear view of her gorgeous face.

She smiles with closed lips, almost a little smirk, "Well maybe a few secrets, but not about us."

"I like this you, sweetheart. I've wanted this for so long and you're finally here. And it's perfect," he shakes his head slightly in amazement careful not to break the eye contact they have, "it's perfect Kate, everything you do is extraordinary and we're gonna make this work, you'll see."

He leans in closer and kisses her long and deep and she's lost again in his world. The world she worked so hard to join. It's the first morning of the rest of her life, she feels incredible and free and safe and loved. It's the most amazing combination of feelings. Yes, amazing. He feels amazing surrounding her body, causing her to cry out in beautiful ecstasy.

There are rays of sunlight dancing all over his body, making him look as if his skin is glowing. He's really very lovely, and he's all hers, for always. Always. It makes her giddy, thinking about it as her eyes roam up his back around his muscled shoulders, arms, and finally to the side of his face that's facing her. His eyes are closed, he's sleeping and he looks so adorable with his lips squished into the mattress. She's lying exactly next to him, face turned so it's the same but opposite, affording her the ability to just stare at her love. She reaches out and with the very tips of her fingers barely touches his skin, almost checking to make sure this is all real.

The sheet is covering only her rear and upper thighs, the rest of her skin exposed to the warm sun just like his. He must feel her staring or her fingers skimming his arm because he opens the one eye that is exposed and then the other that's hidden. He doesn't say a word, but looks over and down the length of her naked body and right back up meeting her green eyes. She knows he was paying close attention to the curve of her lower back and the creamy white flesh of the side her breast sneaking out from under her; but this just makes her feel sexy and she loves that he thinks she's beautiful. His eyes are so blue and for a least a moment they just stay this way, eyes caught in a gaze, silently staring deep inside.

"I love you," he delicately says "want some coffee?"

"Always" she purrs in response and carefully moves her hand down his arm wrapping her pinky around his and bringing his palm up to her lips for a kiss. She buries her face in his hand, and hugs his arm close to her body, "you make the best coffee baby."


Kate finds herself at almost a run; she needs to see him right now, needs to look into the eyes of her Castle. Why the hell did they think it was a good idea to spend the night apart? As she's opening the door to the precinct she's telling herself that this can't happen again. She'll tell him that they…she stops dead in her tracks.

"Kate," she hears him yelling behind her. She'd know his voice anywhere.

Turning on her heels, she walks over to him, smiling as she grabs his hand, dragging him into the elevator. They're alone and she can't resist the opportunity to be close to him so she lunges forward, pushing him back into the wall before attacking his lips with passionate kisses.

"Whoa, Kate, not that I'm complaining…but you're breaking your own rule of PDA at work? What's going on?" He's grinning at her, like he's just won some sort of fierce battle.

"Yeah, well I missed you; we're gonna have to do something about this Castle," she dives in for seconds on his kisses.

Then suddenly it's over, and she's stepping back straightening her clothes and hair. The elevator door dings and she grabs the coffee and pastry from his hands leaving him stunned by her whirlwind performance. The doors open and she starts to walk out…turning back a second later.

"You coming Castle?" she questions, smiling that deliciously devilish smile that never ceases to render him speechless.

"Huh? Umm…yup! Here I come Kate," he's following her over to their desk and sitting down in his chair.

"What's gotten into you this morning Detective?" he asks.

"Oh Castle, you have no idea," and then she leans closer and speaks to him in a low husky tone he knows all too well, "but if you behave today, I promise to share with you later." She backs away but not before winking and flashing one of her sexy little smirks, and thinking to herself that this was about to become a seriously long-ass day!
