A huge thank you to everyone who has been so kind as to leave a review. They really make my day.

The prompt for this one comes from carolina17. She asked for this scene a few months ago and since I hate to leave things unfinished, I decided to do this one next.

Once again, thanks to Educate The Masses for her beta skills.

It was early spring in New York City; the nights still cold enough to warrant a heavy jacket. It had been a busy week for Castle and Beckett - long days and short nights that had resulted in putting away another murderer.

They had celebrated with seafood on the way back to Castle's loft and the conversation had quickly shifted from business to personal. They had been dating for close to four months, and while they hadn't exactly been keeping it a secret, they hadn't taken out an ad in Page Six either.

That was all set to change tomorrow night though, when Kate joined him as his date for the premiere of Nikki Heat. Provided they actually made it out of the car before then.

"Castle," Kate mumbled as she pressed even closer to him.

"Yeah?" came his breathless reply as he moved his lips to her neck, sucking on her pulse point. He had one hand under the back of her shirt, working the clasp of her bra free while his other hand held her to him.

"We can't do this here."

Instead of answering her, he moved his lips back to hers, a small sound of triumph escaping him as the clasp finally gave way.

Kate shifted her weight, moving so she was straddling him in the passenger seat of her Crown Vic. Her hands worked another button free on his shirt as his slid around to cup her breast.

"Oh god," she moaned as he pinched her nipple between his thumb and forefinger.

They were in the parking garage beneath his building, their impromptu make-out session having long ago steamed up the windows. It had started as a simple kiss; a thank you for being a sounding board and for a relaxing dinner. It had quickly progressed to the two of them attempting to devour one another when before she even realized what had happened, Castle had pulled her across the seat towards him and kissed her senseless. Her natural response had been to match his intensity with the same level of passion.

"You are so damn sexy," he breathed as he pulled back just enough to look at her.

This time, she was the one to choose a nonverbal response. Her hands caressed his chest, the newly exposed skin warm beneath her touch. She rocked her hips against his obvious arousal and was rewarded with his growl of approval.

His mouth found hers again, their kisses sensual and deep as they continued to caress one another within the tight confines of the car.

They came to an abrupt halt when Castle hit his elbow on the window, letting out a sharp gasp at the pain radiating down his arm.

"Are you okay?" Kate asked as she met his gaze.

"I'm fine," he hastily assured her before claiming her lips again.

When his hands went to the button on her jeans, Kate leaned back to give him better access, bumping her hip into the steering wheel.

"Ouch!"

"Did I hurt you?" he asked, his hands automatically stilling on her.

She shook her head and leaned in for another kiss, her hands coming to rest on his shoulders as he shifted beneath her in an effort to get closer. When his knee banged into the dashboard, he let out a curse and reached around her to rub the tender spot.

When he finally turned his attention back to Kate, she was fighting back laughter.

"What's so funny?"

She shook her head.

"Look at us, Castle. Making out in the car like a couple of teenagers when there's a perfectly good bed up in your apartment."

He glanced around the cramped car and then met her gaze again.

"I suppose there would be more room if we actually went upstairs."

With that, Kate shifted off of his lap and they began adjusting their clothes back to some semblance of normal. When they were both presentable again, they climbed from the car and met by the trunk, intertwining their fingers as they started towards the elevator.

"Mr. Castle?"

They both turned at the voice behind them, one of the building's security guards approaching them.

"Craig," Castle replied. "Is everything okay?"

The guard nodded as he took in their slightly disheveled appearance.

"Just making my rounds," he replied. Then with a nod to Kate, he added, "Detective Beckett."

"Good evening, Craig," she replied.

A quick glance at the still steamed up windows of the car had Craig fighting back a grin when he turned his attention back to them.

"You two have a nice night."

"Thanks, Craig. You do the same," Castle replied.

As soon as he was out of ear shot, Kate let out a sigh.

"That was a little too close, Castle."

"You know you love living dangerously, Kate."

She allowed her eyes to travel the length of his body, making a point to linger over his still slightly obvious arousal.

"Why don't you take me upstairs and I'll show you exactly how dangerous I can be."

Castle merely smiled and tugged her against his side as they made their way to the elevator, promises of an adventure looming bright in their future.

Thanks for reading. It would be greatly appreciated if you'd leave a review, too.
