A/N: This is my first fan fiction. I've wanted to write one for a while, but my original idea kind of changed when I started writing so my fan fiction is what you see now. If you want to review, please be kind...creative criticism is welcomed, flame is not. Right now this is a one-shot unless you want me to continue it.
Also I wanted to thank my friend, Meagan, for some inspiration with the story. :)
Disclaimer: Anything recognizable belongs to ABC and Andrew Marlowe although I think it's obvious I don't own the show "Castle" . I would love to meet Nathan Fillion and/or Stana Katic though.
What He's Been Waiting For
Castle leaned into kiss the woman he's been in love with for years now. As he inched closer Beckett didn't stop him in fact she's moving towards him too. He pauses, "Is this really happening?" he thinks to himself trying not to show his surprise on his face as the realization of what is really happening hits him. He looks up to see Beckett's "no Kate...when I'm about to kiss her her name is Kate" beautiful green eyes looking at his desire looming in them. That's all he needs to continue to move his lips into hers. Their lips touch and all Castle can see is fireworks. Nothing else around him matters as Rick and Kate's lips finally touch again after that fateful undercover kiss years ago.
The current kiss, that at first was soft and sensual, quickly turned passionate deepening every second as Rick and Kate's tongues fight for dominance. Rick reluctantly pulls away as he can no longer breathe, a moan he can't suppress escapes. He looks back at Kate for a second before their lips fly back together as if they're magnets on opposite sides unable to resist the attraction.
After several minutes Rick pulls away from the kiss, his eyes showing nothing but deep desire for the woman who just gave him the most amazing kiss he's ever experienced "amazing doesn't begin cover it" but words escaped him as all he could think about were putting Kate's lips back to his. He must have been thinking too long because suddenly he heard Kate's breathy voice, filled with desire say his name. At that moment he decided that if he never hears his name said any other way he'd be okay with that.
Normally your life flashes before your eyes when your about to die. This time it was happening to Rick as he was kissing the last woman he ever wanted to kiss. He remembered when they were locked in a freezer together...when he diffused a bomb and he was holding Kate's hand fearing for their lives. Then that dreadful day flashed in his mind and experienced it all over again; the flash of light that he saw after she said "you find that one person to spend it with" and looked at him and he looked back, the sound of the shot as he realized what the flash was, his body pressing against hers as he tried to save her from the flying bullet coming her way, the feeling of landing on the ground, the clenching of his heart when he looked down and saw her blood, he repeated the words he said to her "Kate stay with me. Stay with me, Kate. Kate, I love you. I love you, Kate." He saw the life in her eyes slowly fade away, again he wondered why he waited so long to tell her those three words. The sensation of Kate's tongue dancing in his mouth drew him out of his trance as he realized he had to tell her how he felt on more time. He pulled away when Kate looked at him strangely he suddenly blurted out "Kate, I love you". Her eyes got wide at him confessing his love for her one more time and before she could protest or pull away Rick's lips covered hers and his tongue entered her mouth without argument from Kate. And her tongue entered his with as much ease. This time their bodies even closer together for the memory Rick just had pass through his mind made him want to remember this in case they never got a chance to do it again; although he knew it would be something he couldn't forget even if he tried.
