WARNING: This chapter gets a little steamy. It's not quite M rated stuff, but if you're like twelve, it's not something you should be reading.
The vibration of Beckett's phone on her pillow made her jerk awake. She scrambled around trying to find it and wrapped her hands around it. She squinted because of the brightness and rolled her eyes.
"What?"
"Well that's not a nice good morning," Castle teased on the other end.
"It's only 7 a.m. and I was asleep," she growled.
"Someone's not a morning bird," he said like a child mocking their friend.
"What's so important that you had to wake me up?"
"I was wondering what we are supposed to tell everyone at the precinct. It's been bugging me ever since I woke up."
"You had to wake me up to ask that? You couldn't have waited?" she questioned as she threw her head back onto the pillow.
"I was so excited to talk to you again… I didn't even realize the time."
"That's okay. Um. We could just not tell them for awhile, but Lanie will figure it out before anyone."
"Messing with people is what I do best. Do we have a plan?"
"Just don't stare at me for over than five seconds. Ryan and Esposito notice that kind of thing. And uh… no flirting near any of them."
"Understood," he nodded even though she couldn't see him.
"Do you have a plan?"
"No. That's why I asked you. If I planned something it would be extreme and you don't really like extreme or surprises."
She smiled at his thoughtfulness.
"When will I see you?" he anxiously asked.
"Today. Around 9 a.m. when I normally get to work."
"That's so far away!"
"What's the matter, Ricky? Can't handle a little distance?"
"Nope. Not after that kiss I can't."
"Well I'll see you in a couple hours. That's if… you can handle it," she smirked.
"Hmph. Okay. See you soon."
"Cya."
She closed her phone and looked over at the alarm clock. Ugh.
xoxoxo
"Detective," Castle nodded as he handed Beckett her regular coffee.
"I thought I told you we were done," she responded without looking away from her computer. She was typing at light speed and it impressed him.
"You should type my books for me. I'd pay you so much money."
"Castle!"
"Not all the chapters. Sometimes I handwrite when I'm at a brick wall."
Beckett nodded and turned towards him. She immediately got the urge to throw her arms around him and kiss him, but she was at work. And Esposito was watching them so she rolled her eyes as she stood up.
"Where you going?" Castle asked as he stood up too.
One of her eyebrows quirked up as she picked up one of the folders on her desk. She walked over to Esposito and slammed it down in front of him.
"Now you don't have to stare at me," she said as she sharply turned on her heel and walked towards the break room.
Castle followed her in and stood close to her. Close enough so he could smell her perfume or lotion which smelled of cherries.
"You smell good," he whispered as he picked up some of her hair.
"Castle," she snapped and quickly turned towards him. "Not here."
"Where?" he whined. "I need to taste you again," he said while looking at her lips.
She grabbed his wrist and brought him into the hall near the bathroom. They walked and took a quick left before someone saw them. She opened the storage room and pushed him in.
"This feels like high school. I like it," Castle smiled as he locked the door behind them.
The room was small which he didn't mind because it made them stand really close. So close that they could feel each other's body heat. He put his hand on her hip and pushed her against the door.
Beckett threw her arms around his neck and rubbed it with her thumbs.
"Hey," she said as she bit down on her bottom lip. "Sorry I yelled. Last time they saw us together we were fighting."
"It's okay, but let's not go this long without seeing each other again."
Castle leaned down and kissed her feverishly. He fed off her desperation and pushed his kiss further. He couldn't handle how her tongue felt against his. He was aroused and wasn't afraid to let her know.
Beckett's eyes widened when he put more pressure against her. She slowly pulled away from him and looked down.
"Sorry," he murmured.
She shook her head and put her finger between one of his belt loops. She looked back up at him with a smile.
"Movie at my place tonight."
"Tonight?"
She kissed up his jawline and up to his ear and whispered, "Tonight."
Castle couldn't handle how much he was being teased. He lifted her up and held her against the door. The way her legs wrapped tightly around him didn't make this any easier. He wanted her to feel the same way so he gently slid his hands up her blouse. The feeling of goosebumps under his fingers made him smile. He noticed her exposed neck from having her head back.
He kissed up it and spoke between each one, "I. Can't. Handle. Waiting."
She placed her finger over his lips, "No talking."
Their lips locked again, longer this time. Long enough for them to shed off their shirts.
He sat down on the little floor they had and pulled her into his lap. She wrapped his legs around him as they continued to kiss each other. His gentle, soft hands moved across her body causing her to get chills up her spine.
She pulled away from him, breathless.
"We should probably get back," she whispered.
"Why?" he questioned as he watched himself bring his hands close to her chest.
"I'm at work and…" she bit down on her lip when his hands traveled up further.
"And what?" he smirked.
She pulled his hands off and was about to get up, but was pulled back down.
"Wrong way," he smiled childishly.
She playfully slapped him as he nuzzled himself on the side of her neck.
"Please. Let's stay," he murmured.
"Tonight. Remember?"
With that, he let her get up and helped her straighten her shirt out. She helped him button his shirt back up as she noticed two broken buttons.
"Oops," she smiled.
They walked out of the storage closet as they kept straightening their clothes out.
"Wow," Castle said as he helped her with her hair. "We should do this whenever we don't have a case."
Beckett widened her eyes with her eyebrows raised to silence him. She made sure to grab a soda so it didn't look like they were never really in the break room.
"Where's Esposito?" she asked Ryan who was on his computer.
"He went to visit Lanie," he turned towards Castle. "Are you two good now?"
"What?" Beckett thought he knew.
"You made up, right? Well obviously. You're letting him stay."
"Oh. Yeah," she shrugged. "We made up all right," she smirked at him to make theories run wild throughout his mind.
"That's good," Ryan finally said as he watched them go back to their seats.
He noticed how Beckett was looking at Castle. The same look that he gets from Jenny. He flipped his phone open and shot Esposito a text.
Ask Lanie if she knows what's going on b/t Castle and Beckett.
AN: I liked playing with the idea of them in the storage closet. Thoughts, ideas, suggestions whether it's with errors you see or not, let me know. :)
