Here's the next chapter, it's a short one! Enjoy :)
Kate woke up the next morning to Rick's lips doing amazing things to the back of her neck.
"Mmm… good morning." Kate said, as she turned over in his arms, giving him a chaste kiss.
"That it is." Rick replied with a smile. "How did you sleep?"
"Really well actually. That last round wore me out plus I had my own personal heater." She replied smirk.
Rick just laughed as he placed another kiss to her lips, then her cheek, jaw, and down to her pulse as he picked up from his ministrations from this morning.
Kate tilted her head to the side to give him more access until he pulled away and looked at her.
"So, are we going to talk about his?"
"Talk about what?" Kate asked, slightly confused.
"You know… about us, given everything that's happened in the past few hours." Rick replied a bit nervously.
"Everything like what?" Kate teased.
"If you already forgot, than I clearly did something wrong." He replied as he began kissing her neck again.
Kate moaned, but after a few moments, Rick pulled back to look at her again.
"I'm serious though, Kate. I really like you, I've think I've made that obvious by now. And I'm not just looking for sex." He added. "And, if I read the signs right, I think you like me too?"
Kate rolled her eyes, but smiled and nodded nonetheless.
"Okay, well let's do something about it. Go out with me, Kate." Rick said softly.
"I want to, Rick. I really do. But what will everyone on our floor think? They already view this kind of stuff as 'floorcest', although it's not a real thing."
"Who cares what they say or think? All that matters is that we're happy. And if you're not comfortable telling people, then we don't have to. I'm not saying hide it or lie to them, but we'll only confirm it or say anything if they ask us." Rick suggested.
Kate thought for a while, until she bit her lip and nodded. "Okay, let's do it!" She said with a wide smile.
Rick's face lit up like a little boy on Christmas morning. He's so cute. Kate thought to herself, but her thoughts were soon interrupted by certain pair of lips on hers.
"Gross Rick! Morning breath!" Kate exclaimed, wrinkling her nose.
Rick just pouted, "But I want to celebrate."
"We will. Just after we both brush out teeth." Kate said offering him a sweet smile and kissing him on his cheek.
Rick just continued to pout until finally giving in. "Fine, but I'll hold you to that."
After getting ready for the day and celebrating properly with a heated make out session on Kate's bed, Kate was finally able to get him to focus on studying for their midterm.
They went down to the Starbucks to study. They actually did quite a lot of work within 2 hours, until Rick suggested they take a break for lunch.
So far they hadn't run into anyone from their floor, figuring that everyone was still asleep after the party last night. However, as they were eating in the lounge room, one of Kate's friends walked in.
"Seems like you two made up since yesterday." She said, pouring herself a cup of coffee.
"Yeah something like that," Kate said, winking at Rick. But before her friend could ask anyone more questions, Kate started. "So how was the party last night?"
"Oh it was great! So much fun, you should have come. You have really enjoyed yourself!"
"I don't know about that. I quite enjoyed myself here. In fact, I got in a few intense periods of studying throughout the night." Kate said as she turned to Rick and gave him a seductive smile.
Rick eyes went wide as he began to choke on his drink. Kate just looked away, trying her best to stifle her laugh.
Before he could even say anything though, Kate began, "Rick do you wanna go back to my room so we can quiz each other a bit more?"
"Yeah… yeah" Rick replied not really paying attention to what she said, but rather on the lip that she was currently biting.
Kate got up and walked towards the door before turning back "You coming, Rick?"
He didn't even say anything, just got up quickly and rushed after her.
When they entered Kate's room, Rick pulled her toward him and then pinned her up against the door, attacking her lips.
"You are an evil woman, Kate Beckett. Making those sly comments about our…activities last night."
Kate just bit her lip and smiled, shaking her head at him slightly.
That drove Rick crazy! He attacked her mouth again, but this time he pulled and bit her bottom lip.
"That! Do you know what you do to me when you bite your lip?! It drives me insane!" Rick growled as he kissed her again. He pinned both her wrists above her head and shoved his knee between her legs.
"Oh, I think I have an idea…" Kate said as she rolled her hips so her stomach brushed the ever so noticeable bulge in his pants.
Rick just growled again as he devoured her lips. Then, in one quick motion, he picked her up and put her on her bed, settling on top of her.
He kissed her again before he spoke, "Screw studying, I'm going to teach you a lesson."
They kissed for a few moments until Kate hooked her foot around his calf and flipped them over so she was straddling him.
Rick just looked at her with shock and awe written all over his face.
Kate quickly pulled her shirt over her head and through it on the floor before she looked down at him, "Oh, I'd like to see you try" and she kissed him.
