I know I should be updating Nightmares and We'll Meet Again but this popped in my head. I'll update them soon I promise! :)

Kate's New Year Surprise

"I knew the second I met you that there was something about you I needed.
Turns out it wasn't something about you at all. It was just you."

"Can you please tell me where we're going?" Kate bit her lip seductively as she slid across the back seat of the limo and lay her hand on his upper thigh.

"Not a chance. It's a surprise," Rick flashed her a smile and gave her a quick peck on the lips.

She ran her hand up a little higher and leaned in to capture his earlobe between her teeth making him groan in frustration. "Please? Just a little hint," she whispered.

Damn the things this woman does to me. "Kate," his voice caught in his throat, "you'll love it so much more if you just let it be a surprise."

She sighed and lay her head in the crook of his neck, "fine." He could feel her smiling against his neck as he wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her as close as possible.

"Have I told you how stunning you look tonight?"

"Only a hundred times," she laughed leaning up to place a soft kiss on his neck, "but I never get tired of hearing it."

He tilted her chin up towards him and leaned in for a slow, sensual kiss, trying his best to tell her without words how much he truly loved her. She moaned against his mouth as he teased her bottom lip with his tongue. Before the kiss could get too heated he pulled away and leaned his forehead against hers, both breathless. "Good," he whispered pulling back to look into her eyes, "because I will probably tell you a hundred more times."

Neither of them noticed that the limo had arrived at their destination until the door opened and they heard the chauffeur clearing his throat. Kate lowered her head, blushing from embarrassment while Rick just chuckled and stepped out of the car. He held his hand out to help her from the car, noticing her eyes light up as she saw the hotel in front of her.

"What are we doing here?"

"I got us a VIP table at the R Lounge, one of the best places in the city to watch the ball drop. Dancing, champagne, hor d'oeuvres, and dinner, not to mention the penthouse suite I booked for after they party," he flashed his famous Castle smile and pulled her close.

"Wow, Rick I don't know what to say."

"I knew you would love it."

She pulled him close giving him another kiss, not as sensual as the one they shared in the limo but enough to let him know how much she loved and appreciated him.

When she pulled away he smiled, "you don't have to say anything if you keep doing that."

She playfully slapped his chest, "If I keep doing that we won't make it to the party."

He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively at her, "I am definitely more than okay with that."

She laughed and grabbed his hand, pulling him towards the entrance. They stopped just inside the entrance admiring the luxurious hotel, "this place is beautiful Rick."

He leaned over placing a kiss on her exposed shoulder and began peppering kisses up her neck to her ear, stopping momentarily to whisper, "not nearly as beautiful as you," before kissing his way back down the same path.

"Rick behave, or I won't give you your surprise," she giggled.

"Okay. Okay. Sorry," he gave her his best pouting face when she turned to face him. His eyes lit up when it registered that she said his surprise, "wait my surprise? I get a surprise? Can I have a hint? Please!"

"Hmmm," she pretended to be in deep thought, "okay but only because I'm not as cruel as you. Just know you get it after midnight." She gave him another quick peck and whispered against his lips, "and it involves ice cubes."

Kate laughed as she watched his mouth drop open. Rick watched her walk away, his mouth still hanging open, too stunned to move as his thoughts ran wild with the thoughts of their night ahead and his awaiting surprise. Damn this woman is going to be the death of me, but what a way to go.

Reviews are great! :) The quote at the top isn't mine. It's from Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire.
