A tingling in the nape woke Kate.

After a few seconds of daze she became aware of where she was.

She was in her bed, in her apartment, sunlight streaming through the window. The tingling that had awakened her was Castle's breath. He had embraced covering her back. He also slept. It was normal after making love to fall exhausted. Kate huddled seeking the warmth of his skin and fit their naked bodies spooning.

An untimely snoring in her ear broke the romantic scene. She jumped and sat up. Castle also woke up. He sleepily opened his eyes and saw her sitting on the bed, ready to get up. Her naked back... a beautiful view that every man would want to see when waking up.

"Come heeeeeere." He said extending his arm around her waist. She could not escape.

She said nothing, just smiled and turned her face. Their eyes met. She leaned over and kissed his lips.

"Hmm. Don't go jogging today. It's too early." He said sleepy holding her hand.

"Castle, it isn't 'early'. You landed a few hours ago, is jet-lag" She replied laughing and getting into bed with him, now face to face.

"Hmmm? Ah, I remember! ... Kinky... You told my mother and Alexis we had to go to the precinct but instead of that you brought me here."

"Well... guilty ..." She said. They looked each other eyes. He smiled mischievously, she smiled sheepishly.

"If someone finds out you put the police sirens to skip red lights, you are going to have problems, detective." Said pushing her a lock of hair.

"Needless to say it really was a police emergency." She answered with her forefinger stroking his chin.

"Yeah...I noticed it when you tried possessing me on the stairs" He said bowing his head, she laughed remembering it. "I think some books accidentally fell to the kitchen sink. These steps are dangerous!"

Both were silent contemplating each other like two lovers. He fascinated by her messy long hair, her white smile and sparkling brown eyes. She was engrossed in his fierce look and rascal smile, which became even more playful when he ran his fingers through her collarbone and continued slowly to touch her nipple with chilling smoothness.

Kate thought that they had to go to the precinct, but also thought they could go later.

Castle now moved his hand to her legs, caressing the inner side of her thighs and moving upward until he felt her wet heat. Then Kate closed her legs tightly to feel his hand and prevent escape. She grabbed his arm and moved her hips to feel more pleasure. He felt her strong grip. He saw her closing her eyes and opening her mouth to breathe deeply. Watching her was VERY exciting.

It would be difficult for his aching body respond again to the excitement. He considered himself lucky to have fulfilled his role of vigorous lover once earlier. But he was willing to make her enjoy.

"I see you're not going to be content with only once ... " Rick whispered in her ear.

She obviously was not for conversations. Kate moaned as the only answer.

"Mmmh ... you are so damn sexy" He whispered again.

Kate continued moaning with every movement of Castle's expert and brazen hand.

"... wild ... insatiable ..."

With a smooth hip movement she suggested to advance to most remote areas ...

"... like our first night together ..."

Castle suddenly removed his hand, causing her to open her eyes upset.

He looked at her very serious.

"WHAT!" She said numbly.

"... Tell me you believe me." He said dryly.

"WHAT!?" Kate exclaimed again.

Castle's voice became narrator mode:

"The father of the beautiful young woman kidnapped sets a trap to experts spies ... in the confusion caused by an explosion, he has the calm to detonate a supercool spy watch ..." said shrilly "... and undertake with his daughter an escape through the streets of Paris at night... thereby achieving... save their lives."

After reciting the paragraph, stared at her smiling and raising an eyebrow.

At that point she felt as if a part of her brain that had been asleep, woke up. She saw clearly for the first time in her life.

She loved him.

He loved Richard Castle as she thought she could never love a man.

She lifted her hand and caressed his face, his hair ... she knew this moment would be etched in her memory forever. Saying the first ILY in bed was not her style so she said:

"I believe you, Richard Castle"

They kept looking into each other eyes. He noticed Kate's cheeks were flushed, but said nothing. By the soundness of her response he concluded that she was not lying so ...

"Jackpot!" He said cheerfully.

Then Rick smiled, leaned over Kate to kiss sensually her mouth and then slide his hand causing a new moan that was muffled by their playful tongues.

Kate stood back to see his face, breathless. There he was. Watching her with his hard masculine look, without missing a single detail. She had never felt so desired. He had never been so sexy. She had never wanted him so badly.

He kept stimulating her with his strong fingers, she was holding his hand tightly so he could not make the same joke again. She moaned holding his gaze . Moaned again. He kissed her, she quickly pulled him away. Breathless. She wanted eye contact. Now she held her breath closing her eyes, but she opened them quickly. Then moved her legs. Her body was invaded by the heat of desire. She drifted. She moaned and yelled.

Castle stopped surprised and looked at his crotch. There it was. Unbelievable. Kate looked up, panting. They looked at each other and she nodded. Rick looked for a condom. He put on it quickly and easily while she kept looking him more and more exciting.

There he go. He placed avobe her. They stared and kissed briefly, because Kate pulled him away and looked his eyes. He understood the game. She wanted to be aware that it was HE who was making love to her. Still looking at her he slid his body and finally pushed. Both yells invaded the bedroom. Hips game. Lunges. Soft and deep. Fast and shallow. Delicacy and fury. Tenderness and passion. Eye contact. Shouting together. Hot. Very hot. Urgency. Tense muscles. More urgency. Now. Yes. Eyes Closed. Climax. Pops and shouts. Bursts. Bursts. Bursts...

Both breathlessly opened their eyes to see each other. Sweating. Trembling. Dizzy. Happy.

They smile. They hug. Spooning. A few seconds.

A few minutes.

Peace.

Tranquility.

And they fall asleep again.

THE END

I want to thank all the readers and reviewers. I enjoyed writing it (and traslating it into English), I hope you've enjoyed reading it too. :)

I also want to 'thank' screenwriters of 'Hunt' for leaving so many holes in my mind that I had to start writing this. Would they do it on purpose?

I wish next season we could see Beckett riding her Harley and Castle wearing smaller shirts. Meanwhile I stay here ... looking for inspiration for more fanfics. :)
