Chapter 3
Hey Guys this is the final chapter! Thanks for reading and I know it has been a while to update it! But hopefully you enjoy this last chapter! And it's easier to read I think Reviews and Enjoy!

It was around 1am the movie finished and Kate and Rick's positions have changed once again. Halfway through the movie Rick went up to get more popcorn and some wine. Kate just lied down on the couch not realizing how tired she was from today. Although she was exhausted she didn't want to go to sleep just yet. She was enjoying herself way too much with Rick. When Castle walked back in the room he didn't take any notice of her new position and just welcomed it. He put the popcorn and wine on the coffee table and just lifted her head up to than put on his lap. The continued to watch the movie like that and when the movie finished they just sat there. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence at all. It was just right for them. Kate was the first one to break it by moving her head from his lap only to look at him.
"So Castle. What are we going to do now?" she asked raising one eyebrow at him. Castle just simply looked at her and really couldn't think of an answer. He was comfortable on the couch and just wanted to sit with her forever. But of course he doesn't even know if the feeling is mutual. Although with the way she has been acting tonight it might actually be true that she at least likes him a bit more now. I mean 4 years of partnership how could you not like him after all that? "Well, I don't exactly know what to do next. I mean of course I'll mention it again. You're the guest. I'm just the host." he stated shrugging.
"Right, so you're a host that hasn't got any plans?" she asked and again he shrugged. "Well I actually better get going it's really late and I gotta be at the precinct at about 8 instead of 9." she started to gather her things and was putting on her shoes before he spoke again.
"Why do you have to get there early? I mean whenever we have a body you're always there early already." he stood up and helped put on her jacket. He was disappointed that she had to leave but she wasn't going without him getting her under the mistletoe. It might be past Christmas but he wasn't caring about tradition. As long as he gets to kiss her today.
"Gates has been riding my ass, as you already know, and she thinks that you are a distraction and I am not working to my full 'potential.'" she used her hands for quotation marks. "So if I get there before you and actually get some paperwork done to her liking than I can go back to normal working hours." they had made their way to the door by now.
"Well that's stupid. She should know that I would be there with you if you had to be there early." she smiled at his antics. "So if no body drops before 9 than I'll see you at the precinct today at 8." he finished smiling and she smiled back. Kate went to open the door but than stopped and turned around to Castle.
"Shoot! I forgot my purse." and with that she was running around him back into the living room. Castle quickly looked up and sure enough he saw the mistletoe hanging there. He had hung it up when he went to get refreshments and Kate hadn't noticed it. When she came back and stood in front of him once again they just simply stared at each other.
"I had fun tonight Rick." Rick oh my god she is using my first name? he thought to himself.
"Yeah thank you for coming. It wouldn't have been fun without you here." he beamed down at her. She didn't have her heels on today. It was flats today for some odd reason, she had simply said that she didn't feel like them today. And she was a couple of inches shorter than him. She mirrored his look back and noticed a little red ribbon above his head. Then she tipped her head up a bit more and noticed that the red ribbon was attached to a sprig of mistletoe. Perfect. she thought to herself. Castle followed her gaze and smiled. He looked back down at her and she looked back at him. Slowly he leaned in and she followed. They were inches apart and could feel the heat building in between them. Slower this time Rick leaned his head to the side and caught Kate's lips with his. He was kissing her slowly and softly and Kate returned the kiss. And he knew from that, that she wanted this to. He brought his hand up to cup her cheek as the kiss deepened. She tangled her hands into his hair and brought his lips crashing down into hers much harder this time. Nothing was gentle about this. They kept kissing for what seemed like hours and she let out small moans and whimpers into his mouth from time to time. After oxygen became necessary they parted and rested their foreheads together. After a few minutes their breathing went back to normal and Rick was the first one to speak.
"Merry Christmas Kate." she looked deep into his blue orbs and smiled and pecked him on the lips once more.
"Merry Christmas Rick."
