Her whole body undulated, hips rolling into his, seeking out much needed contact as she moaned into his mouth.
She needed more.
Her hands ran up the wide expanse of his back, hooking over his broad shoulders, fingers dug into the hard muscles there. She wrapped her legs around his hips and pulled him down on top of her. Forcefully sinking into the bed, her body was now fully engulfed by his, delicious pressure all over she couldn't get if she flipped them over like usual.
He gently ran his hand over her hair, "You okay? I'm not squishing you?" he asked like always, knowing the answer but needing to make sure.
A throaty, "Mmmm," was all she said as she pulled his face back down and kissed him senseless, her fingers raking through his hair. Their mouths locked, pulling long, deep kisses, deeper than usual, driving each other higher until they had to pull back, breathing ragged. Their hands were frantic, everywhere. Grabbing, stroking, pulling, scratching, anything to get closer. They needed to be closer.
He dove for her neck, sucked and swirled his tongue just under the hinge of her jaw causing her inner muscles to clench around nothing as he nudged her entrance, her whimper desperate, wordless.
He buried his face in her hair, his voice raw with need, "Kate..." She shivered. "I want to be inside you, Kate," his lips and hot breath brushed her ear with every word.
Her eyelids fluttered, heat pooling between her legs at his confession. This not being their first time tonight, she didn't need his fingers to prepare her, she just needed him.
"Now, Castle. I need you now," she commanded breathlessly.
He lifted off of her just enough to slide his hand between them. Parting her folds, he found her slick and hot and so very, very wet. He let out a groan at the fact that she was dripping…for him. Never wanting to hurt her, he made sure she was ready by sliding one…then two thick fingers into her, stretching her as he rubbed small circles against her nub with his slick thumb, making her writhe.
"Please," she begged, not needing any of that this time.
He throbbed at her plea for him as he dipped his fingers into her and coated himself with her arousal, tip poised at her entrance. She closed her eyes and bit her lip as he slid himself in agonizingly slowly, allowing her time to adjust. The air around them was thick with the smell of sex and the small, desperate sounds she'd never admit to making. It made him drunk on her.
He couldn't hold back any longer when he felt her inner muscles pulling him in deeper, her fingernails digging into the curve of his ass, begging him inside. Her name turned into a deep moan as he slammed the rest of the way in, her eyes flying wide open along with her mouth as she sobbed out his name, breathless.
She immediately fluttered around his length, her hips bucking involuntarily as he pulsed within her, the feeling of him filling her so completely bringing her close already. Wanting this to last longer than a few seconds, his jaw clenched and nose flared on an exhale as he stilled their movements, both panting.
Just like their bodies, their eyes connected, heavy with lust but something else too. Something much deeper...complex, boundless, terrifying, and wonderful.
Love.
They both ached with it, the feeling overwhelming. She hadn't yet said it out loud but they both knew. It was written all over them, clear as day.
Keeping their eyes locked, he thrust his hips down at the same time she came up to meet his, completely in sync as always, the slick slide of him igniting every nerve he touched. He hit that elusive spot deep inside causing her back to arch, a throaty groan tearing its way out as her head fell back into the pillow.
Wrapping her up with his body, he held her as tightly as humanly possible, snaking his arms underneath her back as one hand came up to cradle the back of her neck. "God, I love you so much," he whispered almost silently into her hair, not wanting to push her into saying it back.
She did hear it though, her body giving her away by clenching hard around him as a soft mewl escaped her lips.
The thought of separating their bodies unthinkable, they held each other close as he rotated his hips into her and she did the same, the angle causing his pubic bone to rub her perfectly, sending out sparks of pleasure with every thrust. Their sweat slicked bodies aided in their tight movements as he kept a steady rhythm. Her body tensed and breath quickened as she rapidly approached her peak, her fingernails scraping down his back. She clung to his huge frame as she let go on a strangled cry, her orgasm rippling through her in wave after wave of fire, her whole body set ablaze.
The raw sounds of her absolute pleasure, the sight of her face in pure ecstasy, the feeling of her body milking his, any one of these alone would have pushed him over the edge but together…his release was uncontrollable. Sealing his mouth to hers, he spilled into her in hot spurts along with a deep growl, the combination of sensations extending her own orgasm.
Gasping for breath and still trembling with aftershocks, she ran her fingers gently through his hair in time to their slow and tender kisses, bringing them both down from their high. Body spent, he couldn't hold himself up any longer and started to move off of her but she held him close, not wanting to part yet. He scooped her up in his arms and rolled them both, her face resting on his chest as he peppered the top of her head with kisses.
He knew she had heard him but he didn't care. It was something that wasn't going to change, whether she was ready to say it back yet or not. He would wait for her like he always did.
She didn't want to just say it back though; she wanted to tell him of her own volition. One day soon she would.
Neither of them suspected that day would be tomorrow morning over coffee when she couldn't wait another minute, her heart overflowing with a fact she was more certain of than anything else. She was completely in love… with Richard Castle.
As if reading her mind, he held her tighter, never wanting to let her go.
Lost in her own thoughts, the tips of her fingers drew lazy circles over his heart. She was thinking the words so intensely she unconsciously mouthed them into his chest,
"I love you, too."
The strong beat of his heart quickened underneath her hand.
