Okay, I was going to update weekly, but this chapter just couldn't wait. I hope you like it, and now expect only once weekly updates. =] And now, I present to you, Chapter 2 of Roses Have Thorns They Say: I Like It Rough. =] Oh I need to say, I do not own Castle, =[

He shuttered under her words, it was so damn sexy, it turned him into mush, very hard mush. He could tell what she was thinking, He would give her some sexual, obscene dare, and from the sound of her voice, she wanted it. But he wasn't going to give it to her, Not yet. He was close enough where he could whisper into her ear.

"I dare you," He said in his most seductive voice, he could feel her chest rise against his side, she was right there, she wanted him and she wanted him to seduce her.

"I dare you, to accompany me to a party this weekend."

He said as he turned to face her completely, flushing all seductive tones from his voice. She almost fell face first into his lap from her previous position.

"What? Castle." She was confused and disappointed. She had wanted him to dare her to do something sexual, at least to get into her underwear.

"Yes, I have a party to go to this weekend, a book release for a friend, and I need a beautiful, charming, smart woman to accompany me. Now I have one." He smiled at her warmly. And he could swear he saw he smile back in appreciation to his feelings towards her.

"Thank you Castle." She said. Feeling happy that he thought she was beautiful and charming and smart, but still disappointed she couldn't turn him to much, Just yet.

"My turn." he chimed in. "You didn't think I'd let you end this game so quickly did you?, No, no, no, Kate, This game will go on until one of us gives up in defeat."

"So this game could last forever?" She said trying to sound annoyed.

"Yes it could." He moved back, closer to her "Unless you back out of a dare, I do tend to get a little, Naughty when playing with a beautiful woman."

She looked into his eyes seductive licking her lips knowing he couldn't take his eyes off her lips. I could get used to this. She pretended as if she hated his attention on her but really she craved it, it made her feel sexy, which she really was.

"Truth or dare castle?"

"Truth, and make it good." the low grumble in his voice as he said "good" sent something through her, she got chills, and a devilish smile spread across her face.

Oh damn, I've got nothing, what could I possibly ask him that he wouldn't tell me normally. Anything sexual he would admit willingly just to get me hot, or annoyed, can't tell which. But anything to personal will just ruin the mood. Damn it. I'll just go with it.

They were still sitting close enough to hold a dime between their lips, how she was resisting his tender lips was beyond her. She stood up, breaking the tension between them, and the temptation to take him right there. She tugged at her tightly fitting jeans trying to make her outfit sexier, it wasn't working out in her favor. She suddenly got an idea. A brilliant, awful idea. She turned and stood right over him, her legs outside his, her fingers absently twirling her hair.

"Rick," She said, "I don't think I'm in the right attire for this game," She motioned to her clothes running her hands down her body from her chest, "I'm a bit, restricted and uncomfortable. Do you think you could help me out?"

She leaned into him, toying with his buttons, his eyes on her completely, waiting for her next move, like a gazelle watching, waiting for the cheetah to capture it.

"This shirt looks like it would be comfy, do you mind?" She asked him, as she started down the buttons. He just nodded, bewildered by her actions. She worked slowly, tugging lightly at his shirt with each button, driving his body insane. She looked back at her work, and pulled his shirt open revealing his bare chest to her. She couldn't resist herself, her hands moved to his chest feeling her way down, he was gorgeous, his chest strong and firm, he must lift, a lot. What he could do to her, she let her mind wander to his bedroom, and his kitchen counter, and his couch, as she rubbed her hands up and down his chest, feeling him tense up under his fingers. It amused and aroused her. Finally she floated back to him pushing herself off his chest standing upright. She pulled her shirt up over her body, revealing her creamy white midsection staring him in the face. Her black lace bra the only thing keeping him from devouring her. She dropped her shirt onto his lap, and he just watched her, his eyes following her fingers like a cat. She moved down to her jeans, slowing unbuttoning them, zipping down her fly and sliding them down her long smooth legs. She stepped out of her newly shed clothing and stood a still dazed Rick up taking his crème colored dress shirt his large firm frame.

She had never looked sexier he thought, sitting next to him in his shirt. She was beautiful to begin with, no doubt of that, but she looked right in his shirts, they fell around her body perfectly.

"So, it's still your turn. I have to ask you a question don't I? A very hard, question." She looked him up and down, he had calmed and now was just sporting a goofy yet sexy grin. Usual Castle, she thought.

"Castle, Please tell me, what was going through your mind while I was changing into your shirt? And how hard was it watching me and not doing a thing? I gotta say though, I'm impressed you're will power is extraordinary."

She was good, he had no trouble telling her exactly what he was thinking and exactly what he would have done if he didn't have any respect for her. And she knew what she was doing, she knew how to get to him and how to make him want for it. But he'd play along, it'd be a trip, but a very fun one.

"Oh Kate, I think you know exactly what was going on in my head, but I'll tell you, because I know you want to hear it. What's it going to do to you? Does it get you hot?"

He smiled, he knew what he was doing too. She wanted him and now he could clearly see it. But he was going to make her wait for it, and make her work. She wasn't getting off that easy, and he wouldn't let her have it just like that. If they were going to do this, go as far as they could it'd be special. That's what she deserved, and he wanted to give it to her.

"My mind was a blur, the entire time, it was very sexy watching you do that, driving me crazy to be honest, it took all I had not to touch you, your skin just looks so soft and warm, but I couldn't do that, not without your word. I'd never do anything to you that could jeopardize your honor, well without your consent. But it was all very sensual, beautiful even. And I will say I had a little fantasy going on in my head of taking you on the couch. But you're planning that for later, aren't you?"

How could he be so cocky and yet so very honorable. He was drenched in sex appeal, and it was all for her. She still couldn't believe a man such as Rick Castle wanted her. Yes, she did know what he was thinking and it was sexy, so very sexy hearing him tell her. Kate wanted him, but she couldn't break just yet, she'd have to keep tease him just a little bit longer.

"So, truth or dare?"

She thought about it a minute. Truth, he'd ask her how she felt about him, or what she really wanted to do to him. Yeah he probably already knew, but saying it out loud, that yes she wanted Rick, and she could possibly be falling for him. That scared the shit out of her. Dare, he wouldn't take it that far yet, but he could test the waters. He could get her naked, he might kiss her. She took a sharp breath in and closed her eyes.

"Dare"

"Dare, Really? Alright then. I dare you to give me a massage, I've got some knots, kinky knots, maybe you could work them out for me." He winked at her and noticed that she blushed a bit, it was cute, seeing her be sexy, and adorable and just all around amazing.

"Alright then Castle, turn around." He did as she said, he had his back facing Kate and he felt kind of vulnerable, not seeing what she was doing to him. He felt her get on her knees on the couch and suddenly her hands were on him, rubbing his back with little circles using the palms of her hands. It felt incredible, he knew she must be good with her hands, but this was amazing. She worked her way up to his shoulders using her nimble fingers to work out the kinks in his neck.

"Damn, you are stiff." she whispered, seductively into his ear. Not realizing just how, Stiff, he really was. He just chuckled and let her continue her work. She started on his upper arms a bit, feeling just how strong he was, he must do something, because writing does not give you a body like he had. She moved her work to his chest, leaning over him from behind to reach around. She started to rub him from chest to belly and heard him growl in appreciation.

He could feel her breath on the nape of his neck and it was giving him goose bumps. He loved the attention she was giving him and his body, her fingers were sending sparks through him and her palms calmed them and aroused him in a way he never felt before. It was sensual what she was doing, it was more romantic that sexy at the moment, and he loved it. When her arms were draped over him rubbing circles into his lover chest he grabbed them gently and turned around to face her, her arms still in his hands.

They were so close, she was almost sitting on his lap, they were both half naked, she in his shirt and almost nothing more and him now just in his jeans, they were so quiet, looking into each others eyes, and it occurred to them that there was no going back from this. Tonight they were sharing something with one another that they had never with anyone else, this was special and beautiful, they may not have sex, but this was something totally different in itself, this was the beginning of love.

"Truth or dare." he whispered not waiting to ruin the moment, but needing to hear her voice.

"Truth." She said, not letting her eyes leave his.

He knew he wanted to ask her how she felt about him, he wanted to know if this was really the beginning of something for them. He also knew he couldn't ask that, he had to let her get there herself, if he asked, this whole evening would be ruined and she would shut him out. So he decided to just play the game.

"Are you ticklish?" He asked a grin playing at his lips.

Kate started to prepare herself for the attack, she had to be honest after all. "Yes." She squeaked out. And Rick was on her, his hands attacking her stomach and under her arms, both of them couldn't stop laughing even after he had given up his torture on her. Once they had slowed down to light giggles Kate realized the position they were in. She looked up at Rick, who was straddling her belly her knees up still in defense. He slowly shifted positions sitting on the couch and bringing her legs to rest upon his lap. They calmed down completely and Kate rested her head against the arm of the couch. She was stretched out over Rick Castle, in his loft, playing Truth or Dare with him, and she honestly couldn't think of the last time she was this relaxed or had this much fun.

"Who's turn is it?" She asked.

"I think yours"

"Okay Castle, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare." He said, feeling like a bad ass, even though he was playing a 13 year olds game.

Kate stood up and walked to his kitchen, she went into the refrigerator and claimed a bottle or chocolate sauce. She beckoned for Castle to follow her, and he did. Once in the kitchen together, Kate dripped some chocolate on her finger and licked it off, watching Castle watch her. She dripped some more and it "accidentally" Dripped between her breasts.

"Oops" She said, looking up at him through heavily lidded beautiful eyes. She watched as he followed the drop of chocolate with his eyes and poured just a bit mover over herself. Kate started to finger the chocolate off herself and lick it off with her fingers. Rick watched her intently, trying to keep from getting to aroused. Kate hoisted herself up onto his counter top and lifted a leg into the air. She dripped chocolate from mid calf up her thigh stopping before it came to close, she wasn't Nikki Heat after all.

"I'm such a klutz." She said, low and sexy. " Would you mind terribly helping me with this."

"Wait, what?" He said, making sure she really did just ask him to lick chocolate off her body.

"I dare you." That was is, she had just hit number one on his list of sexiest women. Rick took the bottle from her hand. She lay back on the counter and he started to drip it over the parts of her stomach not covered by his shirt, he dripped some along her other leg making sure not to drip the chocolate to high up, he was a gentleman. He then placed the chocolate on the counter and started at her legs, he placed his lips on her calf darting his tongue out to taste the sweet dark liquid. He started up her legs gently kissing up her soft thighs rubbing them with his hands. He heard a small moan escape her mouth as he got higher and he smiled against her skin. He hands moved first, up towards her hips and her sides, holding her still and feeling her smooth flesh beneath his fingertips. He kissed and licked her stomach, making her giggle and moan a bit. He looked up at her from her stomach. Kate's eyes were closed and at the moment her hands were in his hair.

"Truth or dare?" He asked.

"Truth." She whispered.

"How much are you enjoying this?" He asked eagerly.

She giggled, "Kinda a lot, shut up." She said opening her eyes to find him grinning like an idiot back up at her. She sat up sticky and wet, in a few ways. She could still feel the touch of his lips on her body and it made her happy. She looked at Rick who's hands were still at her hips.

"I think I need a shower." With that Kate stood up took Rick's hand and headed for the bathroom. Once inside she dropped his hand and started the shower. She looked over at him, he was bewildered, he had no idea where she was going at any given time, and he looked like he loved it. She stepped inside fully clothed and watched as he watched her, be truly Extraordinary.
