A/N: Wow my shortest chapter ever! That's sad!
Rick and Kate were cuddled up on the couch watching old episodes of Kate's favorite show, Firefly.
"I love this show, I wish they wouldn't have cancelled it so soon." Kate said.
"Really? I never saw the hype in it, guess it's just not my kind of show." Rick said with a shrug.
"Yeah right, take that back!" Kate said playfully.
"Nope, I'm telling the truth. But maybe I can make it up to you, seeing as how I obviously hurt your feelings." He said into her hair, lightly kissing her head and taking in her beautiful scent.
"And just how do you expect to do that?" she said, looking up at him and seeing his eyes light up. Rick put his finger under her chin and guided Kate's lips up to his. She moaned softly and parted her lips, letting his tongue explore her mouth. Kate dueled his tongue with hers, licking along her lower lip begging for entrance. Kate lifted herself up and straddled Ricks lap. Pushing herself closer to him. Both of their tongues were battling for dominance. Rick soon realized she was wincing in pain, he had to stop them knowing how much pain she had to be in.
"Kate, Kate..." He tried to say in between kisses. "Wait, hold on... Kate." SHe broke the kiss and he could see the hurt in her eyes.
"Don't you want htis Rick?"
"Oh Kate, of course I do! But look at you, I can see you're in pain. When we make love, I want you to enjoy it." He said rubbing his hands up and down her arms.
"I want you Rick, I need you." She said, but even she knew he had a point.
"Kathrine Beckett! If I thought for even a second that I really could, don't you think I would have you pinned down right now right here, and make love to you all night? We will wait." ANd then he leaned forward and in a low growl said, "And trust me, it will be well worth the wait..." Another moan escaped her lips and she fell forwards on him burying her face into the curve of his neck. They layed there for a while and Rick noticed Kate's breathing had evened out. Signaling that she had fallen asleep. He picked her up and took her into her bedroom, laying her down on her bed. Rick planned on sleeping on the couch tonight but when he turned to leave, Kate grabbed his arm.
"Castle, don't go." she pleaded drowsily.
"I won't Kate, I'm just going to sleep on the couch tonight."
"No, sleep here tonight, in my bed, please?"
"Why, Miss Beckett? So you can have your way with me?" He laughed
"You know it Castle." She smiled, her eyes still closed. He layed down on the bed and she immediatly cuddled up next to him. "I love you." she whispered
"I love you too, Kate."
