As Castle and Beckett walk through the park fingers intwined with each other, Castle's thumb tracing soft circular patterns on the back of her hand and they walk through the park with Chico. Chico was a dog they adopted after they had moved in together, they were talking about Royal and how much they missed him and wanted a dog so when they moved in together Castle thought it would be a good idea. Chico was a extremely well trained dog, he didn't need a leash but when they walked through Central Park they thought is was a good idea, just to be cautious, but if one of them were to drop the leash he wouldn't go running around causing panic.
As the strode through the park full of other couples it made Beckett smile, years ago if she thought walking around hand in hand with Richard Castle in Central Park on Valentines day, would just always be a fantasy she would never fulfil, but that was before she met him, before he started to shadow her, before he decided he would base a character on her. She couldn't keep the smile off her face.
"What are you thinking about detective?"
She had obviously not realised that Castle had been watching her for most of the time she was in her own little world. She just smiled,
"You'll never know" she replied with a tease, God he was so in love with her, he would make her tell him, and he knew just the way.
Castle let go of her hand, she stopped in her tracks almost immediately, causing Chico's to come to a halt. She turned in confusion and gave him a look, one he knew far to well, one that she gave him before their first kiss. "Rick? Is something wrong?"
She sincerely sounded worried, he just smirked and her look got even more puzzled. As he shuffled closer to her, faces inches away from each other, chests flush against one another. She stared deep into his dark blue eyes, her left hand came to rest on his stomach Chico's leach falling from her fingers. He slowly lifted his arm and hooked it around her neck, her right arm came to wrap around the lower part of his back. Their lips getting closer and closer, her hand on the cotton stomach slowly fisting the material. Just as her eyes slip shut "Now, Katherine Beckett, tell me what you were thinking about?"
She didn't open her eyes,
"Kiss me and I might tell you"
He was just going to give her a quick peck and then get her to talk, but as soon as their lips connected they were inseparable and unable to talk until they ran out of breath and realised the stuff they were doing wasn't suitable for the public, even on Valentines Day. As the kiss heated, her top lip captured between his two slowly massaging it. She bit down lightly on his lowly lip then slowly soothing it with her tongue, his lips parted allowing her tongue to slide into his mouth. Her left hand slowly running up and down his chest. There make out session didn't go for much longer as Chico decided it was time to go home, Chico stood on his back legs and rested his front paws on Castle thigh. Castle pulled away from her mouth and looked down and Chico. Castle agreed with Chico, thinking it was time to go home. He turned to her and she gave him a slight nod. Beckett slowly bent down, her arm not leaving his waste and his arm not leaving her neck, and she picked up the leash. As they walked back through the park, her arm around his waist his arm around her neck, Castle cleared his throat and gave Beckett a look. "I said I might tell you, not that I was going to tell you" "Maybe I need to give you more than a kiss" "Hmm maybe"
