WHERE DREAMS CAN LEAD YOU (PART 2)
Kate got back to the precinct and headed for her desk. She has been thinking about what Lanie had said as she had walked back, a little scared that she was even considering it. Yes she was attracted to the famous author who wouldn't be but was there something else there, something more.
When she got back to the bullpen she found it all but deserted. Ryan and Esposito were off following up a couple of new leads and Castle was nowhere to be seen, which was a little strange but not unheard of. Kate sat down at her desk and opened the file in front of her; she was going over the contense when her mind began to wonder her head dropping forward. After a few minutes she slowly stood up and walked up to the murder board studying everything they had found out so far. It was as she was looking at a photo if the victim that a set if strong arms encircled her waist and soft lips kissed her neck, she knew it was wrong but for the life of her couldn't and didn't want it to stop. Kate let out a low moan as his lips continued to caress her neck finding that sweet spot just behind her ear that drove her crazy and when she couldn't take it anymore spun round, grabbed his shirt and crushed her lips to his. In an instant she knew this was a dream but she didn't care she was so pent up at this point that she wanted to finish this even if it was in the middle of the precinct.
"Hum, Castle. Rick don't stop." she whispered as his hands slowly crept up under her shirt
It was at this moment that the real Castle came back into the bullpen and spotted Beckett sitting at her desk with her head bent forward over a file. He dropped down into the chair next to her and was just about to start playing angry birds when a slow moan escaped her lips. Worried that something might be wrong he moved closer calling her name.
"Hey Beckett you okay?" when he didn't get a reply he tried again "Hey Beckett, Beckett" when this didn't get a reply he leant over and slowly nudged her shoulder at the same time saying "Kate speak to me what's wrong?"
It was at this point that Kate was brought back to reality and her head shot up to look at him.
"Kate please what's wr...?" Castle stopped mind sentence and gulped as her eyes met his cause what he saw there was pure unadulterated primal passion and it was directed at him. This caused his own eyes to darken and a certain part of his body moved of its own accord.
Kate didn't know what to do she was looking into a face that mirrored her own and it took all her strength not to grab him and have him there and then on her desk in the middle of the bullpen and be damned. She knew that if she didn't get out of there right now that is exactly what was going to happen so using even ounce of strength she had she shot to her feet, grabbed her coat and was at the elevator before you could blink leaving a very confused and from what she could make out a very aroused Castle still standing by her desk.
It took Rick about sixty seconds to realise that Kate had gone before he followed her. What the hell was that, he had never seen a look like that from her, hell from anyone not even when they had shared that kiss in order to save Ryan and Esposito. He needed to know what was going on.
On the drive from the precinct to her apartment she had thought about nothing but the dreams and had come to the conclusion that they weren't just dreams but her sub-conscious thoughts trying the tell her something and what she realised was they were trying to tell her was that she was ready to commit to Castle body and soul that was why the dreams had never gone beyond kissing and caressing, the dreams weren't about sex at all they were about so much more than that. She had felt safe during every aspect of the dream as well as loved. And she had wanted to give her love back, OH MY GOD SHE LOVED HIM. "I love Richard Castle" she said out loud.
Rick made it to Kate's building about five minutes after her and caught her just as she inserted her key into the door "Kate tell me what's wrong, please" Rick said stopping her with a hand on her shoulder.
When Rick had approached her she had looked to him as if she was struggling with a dilemma but in a split second her demeanour changed and she spun round looking at the man that had for the last four years had driven her crazy first with lust and then love.
She grabbed hold of his shirt pulling him into a kiss realising all the pent up sexual tension that had built up in the past four years. For a second Rick was so shocked that he didn't respond then his brain seemed to catch up and his arms wrapped round her waist pulling her closer melding their bodies together. After what seemed like an eternity they pulled apart their breathing haggard just looking at each other.
"Wow" was all Castle could say as it seemed his writer's brain had deserted him.
"Oh yeah" came the reply from a smiling Kate Beckett, quickly opening her door before she lend him inside then pressed her lips to his once more.
The kiss this time was less heated than before but still held the same passion. Rick slowly backed Kate across her apartment not once breaking the kiss. They managed to navigate this way quite well until she bumped into the kitchen island causing them to break apart. As he stared at her, Kate took this opportunity to work on getting Ricks clothes off him. She made short work of his jacket and shirt and they soon fell to the floor behind him, at the same time Castle relived her of her jacket 'n' top and they joined his on the floor. As her hands moved to his belt he stopped her with a crushing kiss, he couldn't get enough of her she was like an addiction. His mind was trying to tell him to stop that this wasn't right but his body had other ideas. His lips left hers for a second, moving to her neck which brought a moan of pleasure from the good detective. As the moan escaped her lips Kate thought 'oh god what is he doing to me I've never been this turned on just by kissing before, EVER.'
All Kate could think of at this moment was that they still had too many clothes on so she once again reached for his belt and quickly undid it, at the same time Rock reached for her and no time at all they were standing there in nothing but their underwear so close that it was hard to see where one person ended and the next started. Slowly Rick pulled away from her looking down, drinking in the sight of her, she was beautiful. The look in his eyes sent a shiver through her body and compelled her to drag him toward the couch she wanted, no needed him now!
As they arrived at the couch Kate stopped and turned them round gently pushing her hand against his chest causing him to sit down on the arm then flop backward grabbing for Kate causing her to fall on top of him. She let out a giggle as she landed then claimed his lips once more as her hands began to wonder. They seemed to be moving of their own accord and soon found their way to the one part of Castle body that was still standing, gently rubbing him through his boxers evoking a moan that caused a reaction that rocked her to the core. The next few seconds were a blur with Kate grabbing the waistband of Castles boxers, pushing them off in one fluid motion and tossing them over her head not caring where they landed then she stripped her off her own panties and bra then straddled his hips lowering herself on his hard shaft, sliding all the way down in on fluid motion. They both gasped at the sensation, Kate stopping of a second getting used to the feel
and size of him before she started to move. She slowly started to rock just enough to produce the friction she needed, but soon that wasn't enough so her movements become larger and larger at the same time Rick pushed up to meet her and this brought a whole new set of sensations and soon they were moving in complete unison getting faster and faster until suddenly Kate tipped over the edge, her orgasm hitting her so hard she swore she could see stars. As she came down off her sexual high Kate realised that Rick still hadn't found his realise so she started to move again this time contracting her inner muscles against him, the moan that this evoked brought the biggest smile to her face as she looked down at him meeting his eyes. She leaned forward lightly kissing him before she sat back up and continued her ministrations. Soon Rick's breathing become haggard and he couldn't seem to form coherent thoughts as this beautiful woman brought him to the edge then over it ,he gasped as he pumped into her then it was over and Kate flopped forward against him her panting marching his. They lay there for a few minutes before Kate pushed herself up off of the man she loved causing him to open his eye and look at her with a questioning expression.
"I'm going to get cleaned up would you care to join me?" she said starting to walk in the direction of her bedroom.
An hour later they were both curled up in bed after their shower watching TV when Beckett heard her phone ringing in the other room, too cosy to move she let it go to voice mail. When it rang a third time in a matter of minutes she knew she had to answer it. Kate slipped out of bed leaving Rick dozing against the headboard and headed to the kitchen to retrieve her phone. Looking at the ID she saw Lanie's picture on the screen.
"Hey Lanie what's up?" Kate asked as she answered
"Kate are you okay, I've just spoken to Esposito and he said you rushed out of the precinct about three hours ago and haven't been seen since." Lanie asked concern in her voice
"Lanie I'm fine. I wasn't feeling too good so I came back to my apartment for a while tell Esposito that I should be back in this afternoon."
It was at this point that Rick walked out of her bedroom looking for her and seeing her standing in the kitchen, wearing his clothes walked over to her and circled her waist whispering in her ear "do you know how hot your look standing here in my shirt" not realising she was on the phone and just who she was talking to.
"Who was that?" Lanie asked recognising the voice and knowing exactly who it was but wanting Kate to confirm it.
"Will you stop that? I'm on the phone" Kate said as he started kissing her neck, forgetting that it was Lanie on the other end.
"Lanie I know that you know exactly who's here, so let's not get into that right now. Let's just say I took your advice and feel much better for it."
"Well all I can say is finally and I'm adding I want details. Ok so what do you want me to tell Esposito and Ryan, are you guys coming back in today or not?"
Kate turned in Castle's arm so she was facing him she thought to herself for about 10 seconds before replying "Hum not, can you tell Esposito to let Gates know that I'm sick and will be off for at least the rest of today and if she asks about Castle say I sent him home okay bye" and with that she hung up on her friend, put the phone in the counter and wrapped her arms around Rick. "Well we have the rest of the day off so what to do?" Kate asked leaning in to kiss him just as her stomach growled
"First thing on the agenda should be food then who knows we'll play it by ear shall we" Rick laughed as he went in search of his jacket and phone. "What do you want?"
"Well apart from you, I don't mind surprise me"
"hum right okay" Rick stutter. A few minutes later Rick walked over to Kate saying "Food should be here in about thirty minutes"
Once the food had arrived they decided have an impromptu carpet picnic so there they were food set out in front of them both of them sitting leaning against the couch eating when Rick asked " ah Kate, not that I'm complaining or anything about the current situation but what changed?"
Kate sat silent for a few seconds debating whether to tell him or not then decided that the time for secrets was past so answered "Well I'd been having these dreams, dreams about us."
"Really" Rick interrupted
"Shush or I won't tell you."
"Okay sorry please continue"
"As I said I had been having these dreams and let me tell you they were pretty steamy but they were always interrupted either by someone coming along in the dream or me waking up? And the last one, the one this morning was well you saw the look I gave you. Anyway as I was driving home and something suddenly occurred to me, I realised what the dreams were trying to tell me. It was that I love you." Kate finished turning to look at him.
"What! Can you say that again I think I must have misheard you" Rick spluttered.
"I – love - you" Kate said again this time emphasising each word in turn.
Rick was still for a second then slowly the look on his face changed making her heart sing he was sitting there with the biggest grin on his face that she had ever seen. In one quick movement he had her in his arms and he was kissing her with a force that she didn't know existed. "You have no idea how long I have waited to hear you say that because Katherine Beckett NYPD's finest I love you too, so much it hurts." he said when they parted.
From that moment everything else was forgotten, the world outside, the food on the floor everything there was only the two of them. They spent the rest of the day just exploring and discovering each other content in the knowledge that they could overcome anything as long as they were together.
