Changes Chapter Four
"Beckett, a word please." Montgomery's voice floated down from his office, and Kate stood and headed towards it.
"Sir." She greeted.
"I have been in discussions with your husband."
"Uh oh."
Montgomery chuckled. "It's not a bad thing, Beckett."
Kate stayed silent, listening.
"He's asked, and I've agreed, for the both of you to take a month off."
"What?" Kate exclaimed. "But, sir, I only just..."
Montgomery cut her off by raising a hand. "I know. However, he has plans for you."
"Plans?"
"You'll have to ask him." Montgomery replied. "Now, from Monday you will have four weeks of holidays. During that time, I don't want to see you here at all, okay?" Though phrased as a question, Kate knew that she didn't really have a choice.
"Yes, sir." She answered.
"Good, now back to work."
Rick was cooking when Kate got home that night. She dropped her bag onto the kitchen counter, and stared at Rick.
"I guess Roy told you, then?" He asked, without pausing his cooking.
"Mmm hmm." Kate replied.
"Don't be mad. I have plans." Rick said, looking up at Kate.
"So I heard." She answered.
There was an amused glint in Rick's eyes as he smiled at Kate. "It's gonna be awesome!" He enthused.
"What's gonna be awesome?" Kate demanded.
Rick just grinned.
Kate rolled her eyes and stormed off to get changed. When she returned, Rick was serving dinner.
"Alexis!" He called. "Dinner!"
Kate sat down at the table, and smiled at her step-daughter. She'd insisted that Alexis come home a few days earlier. Alexis gave Kate a quick hug, then sat down.
"This smells great, Dad." She said, picking up her fork. She took a bite. "Tastes great, too."
"Thanks, sweetie." Rick said.
Kate took a bite. "She's not wrong." She said. She reached out a hand, and rubbed a thumb across the back of Rick's hand. "Thank you."
Rick smiled. "You're very welcome." He replied.
The rest of the meal was filled with small talk, and happy smiles.
Lying in bed later that night, Kate rolled over to talk to Rick. "So, what are we going to do for the next month?" She asked.
"Well, we're finally gonna get that honeymoon." Rick replied.
"Really?" Kate replied.
"Uh huh."
"Where are we going?" Kate asked.
Rick grinned. "That, my dear, you will find out on Monday."
Kate groaned. "Come on, Rick."
Rick mimed zipping his lips and throwing away the key.
Kate punched him playfully on the arm.
"Nope. Not telling."
"Rick."
"Nuh uh!"
"Ricky." She said in a cutesy voice.
"Not gonna work." Rick closed his eyes, pretending to ignore Kate. He opened them a minute later when he realised Kate had stopped talking. And his jaw dropped.
Kate stood in front of the bed in a tiny, lacy nighty. She looked at Rick, lust evident in her eyes. "You gonna tell me?" She asked seductively.
"Uh... no." Rick stuttered.
Kate tutted. "That's a shame. Guess this was all for nothing then." She indicated her attire, and started towards the bathroom. she was stopped by two arms wrapping around her waist and pulling her back towards the bed. She spared herself a grin, before turning on the annoyed persona.
"Rick." She warned, as he spun her around and pushed her down onto the bed. He pinned her in place, her hands above her head, and grinned down at her.
"Shouldn't start something you don't intend to finish." He said, his voice low.
"Oh?" She replied, looking up at him from beneath hooded eyes.
Rick leant down, his mouth coming to rest by Kate's ear. "Never tempt me." He murmured. "I might just... snap." He pulled back, and immediately fused his mouth to hers, pressing her further into the mattress.
Kate moaned into his mouth, desperately kissing him back.
He refused to let go of her wrists, and Kate was starting to feel anxious to touch him. She struggled a little, and Rick pulled back.
"I want to touch you." She whispered.
Rick smiled evilly. "But that defeats the purpose of my punishing you." He said. "I'll let your hands go, on one condition."
"What is it?"
"Keep 'em to yourself. Can you do that?" He asked, his eyes twinkling with amusement, lust, and love.
Realising she didn't really have a choice, Kate ran her tongue slowly over her bottom lip, causing Rick to groan quietly. "I think I can manage that." She replied.
Rick grinned again, and let Kate's hands go. True to her word, she left them there, and made no move to touch him. Rick, however, was everywhere. He ran his hands down Kate's sides, and then back up. "You are gorgeous." He muttered.
Kate smiled.
Rick brought his hands to Kate's breasts and she moaned at the contact. It had been so long, too long since they'd last had fun like this. Rick kissed her again, and slipped his hands beneath the nighty, easy sliding it up her body. He pulled it over her head and threw it away. His mouth was then fixed to Kate's breast, sucking, nibbling, bringing all sorts of sensations to Kate. She arched up into him and sighed happily. Rick's hands were not idle, one of them heading south and burying itself between Kate's legs. She almost came off the bed at the sensation, and she let out a breathy moan, one that Rick loved to hear. He pumped into her again, and flicked his thumb across her clit. He knew it wouldn't take long, not when she was this worked up, but as soon as Kate was ready to come, he stopped. He sat up and looked down at his wife. She managed to open her eyes, and fix him with a withering glare. He grinned.
"Punishment." He said simply.
"I'll show you punishment." Kate muttered, and before Rick knew it, he was flat on his back with Kate straddling him. She began rubbing herself against him, and the friction, even through his boxers, was almost too much for Rick to bear.
"Kate." He whimpered, and Kate grinned evilly back at him. She kept rubbing herself against him, and brought her hand down to massage her clit. She came instantly.
As she slumped down onto Rick, he groaned and rolled them back over. He pulled his boxers off and sunk into Kate's still twitching body. She almost screamed, stifling it by putting her hand over her mouth. Rick pulled the hand away to kiss her roughly, and he began moving. It didn't take long for Kate to reach another climax, and as she came, Rick came too, the feel of her body too much to resist any longer.
Reluctantly, Rick rolled of Kate a few minutes later to avoid crushing her. They lay, spread out over the bed and exhausted.
"Wow." Kate finally said.
"Yeah." Rick replied. They were unable to form coherent sentences.
Kate slipped her hand into Rick's, and smiled across at him. "Boy, I missed you." She said.
"And I missed you." Rick replied. He rolled closer, and gave Kate a gentle kiss. "I love you."
Kate kissed him back. "I love you." She replied.
They cleaned themselves up after this and then crawled back into bed. Rick turned the light off, and curled up next to Kate.
And in the darkness and silence, Kate asked, "So, where are we going?"
A/N: I'm back! Sorry about the length between delays. Uni exams are upon me, and I had a bit of a breakdown last night, so tonight I figured, what can I do to not stress about tomorrow's exams? Of course, it seemed logical to write another chapter of this. And what's better then writing just another chapter? Writing one full of smut! Anyway, hope you enjoyed it. Let me know what you think, and I endeavour to update more regularly once exams are over. Which is in a couple of days. Yay!
