#26 Because she does this one thing... with ice cubes.

"Castle, the ice is melting." Kate called from the bedroom.

Rick was torn. He really wanted to learn about her trick with ice cubes, but it wasn't midnight yet, which meant he could still die. He quickly glanced down at his watch and smiled when he saw that it was nearly midnight. When the second hand hit the 12, Rick jumped a little with relief before he hurried into the bedroom.

Kate was already laying on the bed in nothing more than her bra and panties, and Rick felt his pants get instantly tighter. Kate smiled coyly at him when he stepped toward the bed.

"Care to join me?" She asked, and the huskiness in her voice was almost enough to make him come then.

Rick smiled as he slowly unbuttoned his shirt and let it fall to the floor before he lowered his hand and swiftly undid the button and zipper on his jeans. Kate shifted from her reclined position on the bed and kneeled in front of him. She was still on the bed, so Rick took a step toward her, and kissed her softly while Kate ran her hands over his body. When her hands reached the waistband of his pants, Kate slid her fingers under and pulled his pants and boxers down in one go.

Rick stepped out of them and nudged Kate slightly until she scooted back enough for him to join her on the bed. As they continued kissing, Kate managed to get Rick where she wanted him, so that he was leaning with his back against the headboard and his legs out in front of him.

Kate gave him a smile before she reached over and grabbed the glass sitting on the nightstand. She took a quick drink, and Rick didn't miss the fact that an ice cube made its way into her mouth. Kate set the glass back down and moved so that she was settled between his legs. She locked eyes with Rick as she lowered her mouth and licked a stripe up his cock.

Rick hissed at the sensation, and Kate smirked before she took him into her mouth. She'd managed to make a cradle with her tongue for the ice cube to rest in, and as she worked him with her tongue, the ice traveled over his erection.

"Fuck, Kate." Rick said as he gently laced the fingers of one hand into her hair. "You're really good at that."

Kate chuckled around him, and Rick was pushed even closer to the edge. When Kate pulled away a moment later, Rick let out a sound of disappointment, until he saw Kate reach over and take another drink, making sure to get another ice cube in her mouth. She returned her mouth to Rick's cock, and picked up where she'd left off.

It didn't take Rick long to get to the edge, and suddenly, he didn't want to come in her mouth. He tugged on her hair, but it only made Kate suck harder.

"Kate, please." Rick said.

Kate pulled off with an obscene sound and looked at him, one eyebrow raised in her typical fashion. "Rick, come on. The whole point of this if for you to come in my mouth."

Rick looked at her for a moment, and Kate realized he wasn't sure she was serious. "Rick, I mean it. I wouldn't do this if I didn't want you to." She said softly as she leaned up and kissed him gently.

When he tasted himself slightly on her tongue, Rick cracked. When Kate pulled away, she looked up at him, and smiled reassuringly when he nodded slightly.

She took another drink and lowered herself back to where she'd been. Their conversation had drawn Rick back from the precipice, but he was quickly propelled forward again when Kate doubled her efforts. Rick had another moment of hesitation, but a particularly harsh suck from Kate followed by her dragging the ice over the tip of his cock made him forget his worries, and a moment later, he spilled into her mouth with a shout as his nails dragged over her scalp.

Kate swallowed everything, and she licked him clean. When she was done, she pulled away and pressed a gentle kiss to the tip of his cock. She crawled up his body and kissed him softly.

"I told you I had a trick." She murmured, and Rick huffed out a laugh.

"You certainly did. That was..." He trailed off, lost for words.

"Yeah." Kate said.

"Give me a moment, and I'll repay the favor." Rick said as he tucked her hair behind her ear.

Kate shook her head. "Don't worry about it." She said with a soft smile.

Rick looked at her in confusion for a moment before realization dawned on him. "Did you really?" He asked as surprise colored his tone.

Kate nodded. "I really like my little trick." She said as she kissed his cheek.

"Is that the only thing you like?" Rick asked with a sly grin, his brain finally functioning again.

"No. I also really like having you in my mouth." Kate admitted as she kissed him softly.

Rick nodded and wrapped his arms around her to pull her into his side.

"Still." He said after a moment. "As soon as Rick Jr. is ready, we'll continue this."

Kate chuckled. "I don't really think he's junior." She said as she trailed her fingers over his cock lightly. Instantly, Rick felt himself twitch and he hissed.

"You're going to kill me." He said as he rolled Kate onto her back and kissed her.

Kate laughed and threaded her fingers in his hair. "Then I guess we better get to work. Never know which time will be our last."

Rick growled as he lowered his head and kissed her roughly, causing Kate to arch her back and push her hips into his.

She really would kill him one of these days.

There you go. Just so you know, these aren't all going to be ridiculously smutty, but I've wanted to write this one forever, so I did.

If you have any ideas, whether for this story or another, please let me know. I have quite a few of these planned, but there are some I'm not sure how to write. So if you have a suggestion, let me know, and I'll let you know if I've got a plan for that number or not. And if I don't, I'll do my best to write what you give me.

Reviews are wonderful. You should write one. :)
