WOW thanks for all the reviews and alerts! :D

The second chapter isn't as long as the first sorry but i actually had to do some study today :(

Disclaimer- Sadly i do not own Castle :'(

Enjoy!

Kate rested her chin on his chest, looking up into his eyes and began to giggle as the cab drove away.

"What's so funny?" Castle's question was answered when he felt Kate's small hand making its way up the inside of his thigh for the second time that night. Still giggling, she started to stroke him through his jeans.

"Ugh, Kate, stop", he groaned, clenching his teeth while trying not to give into the wonderful feelings Kate was causing with her actions.

"You don't really mean that, I can tell." Kate smirked giving him one last squeeze before removing her hands and running them up his chest. She started to undo the first few buttons of his shirt, parting the material. Her head dipped down and she began to pepper small kisses across his chest. He felt her small hands move down to his belt and she started to unbuckle it

"Kaate… you gotta stop", Castle managed to say inbetween deep breaths. He was using all of his self control not to crush his lips against hers.

"I'm just..playing.. Ricky, Don't..you.. want to play?" she said in between kissing his bare chest.

"You know I do Kate, just not here, not now." He took her hands in his and pulled them away. Kate looked up at him and he could see the hurt in her eyes.

"Kate, I'm sorry." The cab driver chose that moment to stop the car outside Castle's apartment building. Kate pulled free from Castle's grip and fled from the cab as quickly as she could.

"Kate!" Castle called, leaping from the car to follow her. He handed the driver more than enough to cover the fare and took off after Kate.

"Kate, come back!" Kate was stumbling down the street.

"Leave me alone Castle! You made it clear that you don't want me!" she yelled. Castle was quick to catch up with her. He placed his hands on her waist, stopping her from getting away any further.

"Let me go!" Kate fought to escape his grip ,but everything was beginning to spin. He kept his grip on her hips and moved to stand in front of her.

"Let me go!" she yelled again and tried to push him away. Castle could see tears running down her face. Mentally kicking himself for letting this happen, he held onto her tightly.

"No Kate, I'm not going to let you go."

"Why don't you want me?" she said through sobs. Castle felt his heart break for her.

"Oh Kate I do, I do want you, just not this way, do you understand?" he asked. Kate nodded, sniffing a little still.

"Good, now let's get you inside." Castle led her back to his apartment, he felt her go heavy in his arms and looked down to see her eyes closed, she had finally passed out.

"Looks like I will be carrying you."

Gently, Castle scooped Kate into his arms and carefully carried her up to his apartment with some difficulty, since she wasn't even holding her own head up. He managed to unlock the door without dropping her and kicking it closed, he carried Kate to his bedroom. He pulled back the covers and gently went to place her on the bed, but she had regained consciousness and was lightly holding onto his shirt

"Mm Rick", she mumbled, not wanting to leave the comfort of his arms.

"Shh Kate, it's okay." Castle gently pulled her hands off of his shirt. His breath hitched and his heart fluttered at the sight of Kate Beckett in his bed, something he had been dreaming of for the last few years. After he recovered, he moved to the end of the bed and undid her work shoes, pulling them off and tossing them onto the floor.

"Can you sit up for me?" Castle asked. Kate tried to sit up but struggled, so Castle wrapped an arm around her back and lifted her up. She flopped into his chest, resting her head on his shoulder. Castle slowly peeled off her jacket and tossed it over a nearby chair, then removed her gun and badge carefully, placing them on the side table next to the bed.

"Do you want me to get something for you to sleep in?" he asked, knowing she wouldn't be very comfortable in her work clothes.

"Yea" Kate replied.

Castle searched through his wardrobe until he found one of his old t-shirts that would be big enough to act as a night gown on Kate. "Here we go." He placed the shirt on Kate's lap, as she unsuccessfully tried to sit up again. Castle helped her sit up again, propping her up against the headboard of the bed. He then turned around to give her some privacy.

Kate fumbled with the buttons of her blouse for a few minutes before finally giving up.

"I.. cant do it. Help me?" she whimpered in frustration. Castle took a deep breath trying to calm his nerves.

"Ah yeah, sure" He turned around and sat down on the side of the bed next to Kate. Kate had slid down the headboard and was lying down again. Castle's breathing became shaky as he reached out and started undoing her buttons. He gulped when all of the buttons where undone and he opened the blouse, revealing her toned stomach and lacey black bra. He lifted her up just enough to allow him to remove it the rest of the way. The entire time he was trying to focus on something other than how sexy she looked and how silky soft her skin felt. Once he had completely removed it, he quickly grabbed the t-shirt and pulled it over her head, covering her up again.

"All done", he said to Kate who had watched him through sleepy eyes while he undressed her.

"My pants…"

"Huh?" Castle looked confused.

"My pants" Kate repeated looking down at her pants.

"Oh god", he groaned quietly when he realized what she meant.

"It's okay, I can do it." She managed to undo her pants, but struggled when it came to pulling them off.

"Let me help." He pulled her pants the rest of the way down her legs, trying not to openly gawk. The entire time all he could think about was 'Oh my god, I am taking Kate Beckett's pants off.' Once he was finished, he threw them on top of her jacket. Kate's eyes had drifted closed so he lifted the covers up to her chin and tucked her in. Brushing her hair out of her face, Castle lent down to kiss her forehead tenderly, letting his fingers brush across her cheek.

"Sleep well, Kate." He stood and began to leave the room, he was just about to close the door behind him, when he heard Kate calling his name.

"Castle?" He turned back around to look at Kate through the darkness. She looked so small in his huge bed.

"Yeah?"

"Where are you going?" she whimpered, not wanting him to leave her. Alcohol had always had the habit of making her a little sad and depressed.

"I was going to take the couch." Castle answered.

"No, stay… please", Kate pleaded; she already missed being held by him.

"Are you sure?" Castle asked, still standing in the doorway.

"I'm sure."

"Okay." Castle made his way back into the room and closed the door behind him. He pulled his shirt over his head and unbuckled his belt, stepping out of his pants, leaving him in just his boxers. Castle drew back the covers and climbed in next to Kate. He lay uncomfortably in the bed, not knowing if he should move closer to Kate or stay on his side of the bed.

"Castle?" Kate's voice was soft as if she was unsure.

"Yeah?"

"Will you.. um.." Kate paused, feeling embarrassed about asking him, even though less than an hour ago she was grinding up against him. "Um, hold me". Castle smirked at how nervous she sounded. Instead of answering he just wiggled closer towards her and wrapped his arms around her middle, pulling her closer and burying his face into her hair, smelling the sweet scent of her cherry shampoo.

"Good night, Kate"

"Night." Kate quickly fell aslee,p feeling safe and warm in Castle's arms. Castle too quickly fell asleep, his mind swirling with thoughts of Kate, the last being 'I hope she doesn't shoot me when she wakes up'.

Thanks for reading guys!
