GUEST - Welcome to the challenge of writing a story in 2015 and trying to work out what you can do now but couldn't do then. What things cost now and what they cost then. Some things are easier to work out than others and I've learned to just go with it. Some of the houses i have in other stories weren't even built in the year the story takes place, but the reader doesn't need to know that. Ooops, now they do.

Rick didn't make it to the Public Library until a little after 3:00 pm since it had taken almost an hour for him to get there by subway. Rick was beginning to regret moving to Brooklyn. He was such a Manhattan person and knew where most everything was in Manhattan. Not so much in Brooklyn.
He wasn't sure that he wanted his Mistress to decorate his apartment since he was starting to feel like Brooklyn wasn't home, that he should move again and let his Mistress decorate that apartment. Go back to owning something instead of renting; lord knew he still had the money since he was barely spending anything.
He plugged in his laptop and went back to trying to figure out where those two had gotten to. "Okay, if you eliminate everything that is possible, then by default what wasn't possible was all that was left," Rick was talking to himself.
Just what was impossible? Okay, teleportation? Invisibility? They flew away after growing wings or had a jet pack waiting for them? They dug their way underground? Rick was typing up his list.
Aliens would teleport directly in, wouldn't they? Or simply teleport into the damn bank vault. Why even bother with stealing from tellers. They would just end up with one of those explosive dye packs anyway, ruining the money they took. – Strike one.
So invisibility? Why not enter invisible and just stay invisible? All anyone would see was money floating around until it went into their invisible bag. – Strike two.
They flew away? Grew wings? Had a jet pack waiting for them? If they had a jet pack why didn't they wear it into the bank? If it was too ungainly to wear inside the bank, how did they put it on and fly away so damn fast? They could fly like Superman, but why had no one seen them or ever heard of them? – Strike three.
They could dig their way out? Where was all the dirt that they dug out? Where was the hole in the ground where they went? Why was the street not damaged? – Strike
Rick stopped typing. "What if they didn't need to dig because there is already a manmade tunnel down there waiting for them?" he said to himself.
Storm drains below the city streets. He went online and started looking for storm drain lines below New York City. "Nothing." He sat back in his chair. "Where do you go looking for storm drain charts?"
He soon found himself typing his story, having gotten sidetracked.
Castle was typing away, oblivious to the outside world; he was on a roll. "Richard." A voice called out that he didn't hear.
"Richard Castle!" The voice tried again and still he didn't hear it.
Rick felt pain on his face. "Richard." The voice was softer this time, causing Rick to look up from his screen. "GINA, PAULA!? …What the hell are you two doing here? I thought I told you two to leave me alone?" Rick was pretty sure he had made himself crystal clear.
"We don't care what you said Richard. We've been told you are writing again, so what are you writing?" Gina demanded.
"Not a chance." Rick turned off his laptop losing what he hadn't yet saved and held it tight to his chest.
"Hand it over Richard, and you are coming with us," Gina contradicted him.
"No way, not happening. I'm done with you two. They're dead because of you two, so you can both go straight to hell." Rick was more than furious with them.
"We're not responsible Richard. Simply because you were doing what your contract with Black Pawn forced you to do while they were being killed, doesn't make us liable for their deaths. Now hand it over." Gina tried one last time and motioned for the laptop to be taken from him.
The big, overly muscled guy who had been following him for a few days ripped the laptop out of his hands. "Now let's go Richard," Gina simply stated.
"No!" He took a step back, pulled out his cell phone, unlocked it quickly, and pressed the button for his Mistress.
"Castle." Rick could hear her voice, however Gina slapped the phone out of his hand and Paula walked over to the phone and lifted her foot. "PUBLIC LIBRARY!" Rick yelled just before Paula crushed his phone.
"Now let's go Richard. Take him," Gina ordered as she took the laptop from her muscle bound friend.
It happened to be dark out since Rick lost himself while typing and Kate was with Alexis. They had just come back from acquiring some more acid when her phone rang. She saw the caller ID and answered on the first ring. "Castle." What Kate heard next had her jumping to the front doors of the Public Library. From there her eyes caught sight of Castle with two women and another man near him and he didn't look happy.
She jumped once more and grabbed the man who was reaching for Castle. She twisted his arm and broke it resulting in a compound fracture with blood starting to spurt out. Kate spun him around and kicked him in the balls, severely damaging one of them as he doubled over in pain which cut off his scream of having his arm broken.
Kate then took his head and smashed it face-first into the table, breaking the table, breaking his nose, and his right eye socket causing an instant concussion.
She turned on the two women, one of whom had what to Kate looked like one of Castle's laptops. So she simply ripped it out of her grasp and tossed it behind her to Castle. What Kate did next was instinct. If she had thought this through, she probably wouldn't have done it. However, she rushed Gina and jumped the two of them away.
After letting go of Gina, she jumped back and took hold of Paula who hadn't moved from her spot. She was simply standing there with her mouth hanging open. Kate held onto her arm and jumped away. After letting go of Paula, she jumped back and reached down to take hold of the guy she had beat up and jumped away once more. When she let go of him, she jumped back to Castle.
It was only when she looked at Castle and saw the look on his face that she realized what she had done in under 10 seconds. "Castle." Kate didn't know what to say, just that it shouldn't be said there.
She stepped in close and saw him flinch but didn't move. That little action broke her heart in so many ways. She squeezed her eyes closed, questioning just what had she done. They needed to talk, so Kate reached out and saw Castle flinch again which brought a tear to her eye but she took hold of his arm anyway and jumped them to his apartment.
Kate guided Castle over to his sofa and helped him sit. Then she pulled out her cell phone. "Hi sweetie, something has come up and I'll be very late getting home tonight." Kate listened to Alexis. "Yes, it involves Castle and our future, if we still have one." She hadn't felt this bad in a long time. "Thanks sweetie, I love you too." Kate ended the call.
She moved to the kitchen, got Castle a glass of water, and placed it on the coffee table in front of him, followed by slowly and delicately taking the laptop that Castle was clutching to his chest and placed it on the coffee table.
She wiped the tear out of her eye; she had known this day was coming, she just didn't think it would come like this. Kate pushed the coffee table away and got down on her knees in front of him. She took his hands in hers and was at least a little relieved when he looked down at her and didn't try to take his hands away. Time to get started. This was going to be a long night and it wasn't even 11:00 pm yet.
"Castle, tell me who I am? … Please Castle, tell me who I am?" Kate needed to start somewhere and if her training was still at least a little bit in place than maybe she…they had a shot.
He was staring right at her. "You're…Mistress Kate. You…you own me. Own my heart, my mind, my body and my soul. You can fuck me in the ass anytime you please," he answered slowly almost stopping at each word.
Kate allowed another tear to escape, and kissed his hands softly. "And who are you?" 'Come on Castle, just one more to go,' she thought.
"I'm…I'm yours and you own me," he responded and it made her want to cry. "Who, …what are you? …Mistress." Rick was still in shock. "How…how?"
Kate knew just what he meant. It had even taken Alexis a little time to adjust to jumping. HELL it had even taken herself some time to adjust to her ability to jump.
"Castle, why did you call me? Who were those people? You were obviously either afraid of them or didn't want anything to do with them." Kate decided to start with him. Maybe he would come back to her and she would be able to talk to him about who and what she was without scaring him away.
She could feel Castle move his hands but he didn't try to withdraw them from hers. "One was Gina Cowell. She used to be my literary agent with Black Pawn. I worked with her while writing my Derek Storm series," he paused as he tried to think.
"The other was Paula Haas. She was my agent while I was writing Derek Storm. Paula was in charge of increasing my name in the public eye or taking me out of the public eye if things went wrong. It was her job to make sure I was being thought about by the public while Gina did all she could to make sure my books sold." Rick stopped, still in shock of the entire event.
Ok, that made at least some sense since they knew each other. "Castle, why were you afraid of them and who was that guy?" Kate tried to push the story along.
"I was…I was summoned into an unannounced meeting that I didn't want to attend. It was going to prevent me from…from." Kate suddenly started seeing tears rolling down his face and the lines in his face told her it was an emotional event. "Go on, Castle, you went to a meeting." She reached up to wipe away some of his tears as gently as she could.
She took Castle's hands back into hers and squeezed them lightly. "It was a nothing meeting. They were both complaining that I wasn't being seen taking home enough women for them. I was supposed to be a playboy that took to bed any pretty woman I came in contact with. I was furious with them. I thought it was about book sales, or book signings, or something to do with my contract. Instead it was because I wasn't spotted having enough sex with nameless women." He stopped and looked down at his hands.
Kate followed where Castle was looking and saw that she was squeezing his hands rather hard, which forced her to release them instantly, only to take them back into hers, carefully and lifted them up to kiss them. "What happened Castle?" She was pretty sure that wasn't the end of the story.
He started crying again. She could feel him shaking and he began gasping for air. "Castle, please." She wanted to hear it.
"I couldn't go pick up my daughter from school. It was her first year of school and I promised her I would always be there to pick her up from school and walk her home." It didn't take a genius to figure out where this was going, and it suddenly hurt her own heart badly. Kate loved her daughter.
"My mother volunteered to go pick her up so that I could go to this important meeting that was nothing…I was still at the meeting when my phone rang and Gina ordered me not to answer it, but I didn't listen and answered it anyway. I was so angry with both of them.
It was the police. They wanted me to come in because they wanted to talk to me about my daughter and my mother.
I was livid, I yelled and screamed at Gina and Paula that if anything had happened to my daughter and or mother I would bury them. They had both just become the walking dead for dragging me into this stupid non-emergency meeting." Now it was Castle who was squeezing her hands tight, however Kate could take it and didn't say a thing. She urged him to continue.
"The police had two bodies on their hands and by using what they had found on their bodies, or what was left of their bodies, that they contacted me…I wasn't listening, I asked them to let me see them. They tried again to get me to not go, but I didn't listen and screamed at them to take me to them." He was breathing erratically while crying heavily.
"They took me down to the morgue, I think I asked them if they were dead and then I was ID'ing the bodies, or in this case their heads. After that I don't know what happened. I woke up in a hospital hooked up to a bunch of machines.
I only found out later that it was my baby and my mother. …My…my baby…my baby had been ripped to pieces." Castle fell apart on her as Kate got up to hold him and let him cry and wail as she held him tight while her own tears rolled down her face.
"MY GOD, no wonder he tried to kill himself," she said to herself. Even she had no idea what she would do if she ever lost her own daughter. All Kate could do was hold him and stroke his face and let him cry.
Still it did leave her with a few questions and she was glad that Castle wasn't running away from her after he had seen what he had. Kate let him cry until he stopped. He was limp against her so she picked him up easily and carried him to the bedroom and placed him on the bed.
"I'll be right back Castle. Please don't leave me." She stroked his face and kissed him softly using only her lips. Kate stood up and jumped.
Kate strode right up to Gina who was out in the middle of the largest desert on the planet that was presently still in the dark. She used her right hand and took hold of Gina at her throat and lifted her up off the sand. "Do you have any idea what you have done to Castle? You and your stupid sex starved playboy image. You took a perfect man and made a fool out of him." Kate was so very angry as she squeezed her hand around Gina's throat.
Gina was slapping at Kate's hand as she slowly choked to death. Finally she just grabbed it with both of hers and tried to rip it free of her throat. "Who… are… you?" she choked out.
Kate placed her back down on the sand, released her and stood there as Gina coughed and coughed trying to get air back into her lungs. "I don't know who you are but you're…" Gina stopped talking again when Kate took her head in one hand and her shoulder in the other and tilted her head forcefully to one side.
"I'm your worst nightmare." Kate showed her teeth as she opened her mouth wide and growled at Gina who started changing in her hand. In seconds she had a Lycan's throat in her hand as it/Gina roared at her. "I'm a vampire elder, you piece of trash," Kate snarled at her/it. Kate could see from her/its reaction that it/Gina knew what that meant as Kate squeezed her hand, gave it a little tweak, and snapped Gina/its neck, killing it/Gina instantly.
Kate dropped its body to the sand and watched as the dead Lycan slowly turned into a naked woman. When Gina had transformed into a Lycan it had ripped her clothes off. Kate promptly kicked the now dead Gina out of her sight.
She was already beyond furious as she jumped to Paula who was only a few hundred feet away from where she had jumped with Gina in the same desert. "What have you done? Just who do you think you are? Do you have any idea what you have done to Castle?" Kate demanded as she walked right up to Paula and wrapped her neck in her hand just like she had Gina and lifted her up off the sand with one hand. "Your friend is dead and you are going to tell me why. Why you would do this to him." Paula was slapping at Kate's arm as she slowly choked to death. She finally started kicking at Kate who simply took it and squeezed her hand even tighter.
When she stopped kicking, Kate let go of her and let her fall to the sand, where Paula lay while coughing while holding her own throat. "Tell me why or die," Kate growled at Paula.
Paula kept coughing. "I don't have to tell you anything. Just who the hell are you anyway? You have done something stupid. I suggest you release me," Paula bellowed while still lying on the sand.
"I don't think so, now start talking," Kate countered with her hands on her hips.
However, Kate was shocked for a moment as Paula took a few seconds and transformed into a Lycan. She ripped her clothes from her body, stood up and roared at Kate. Kate simply reached out, grabbed the Lycan's throat in her hand again, and squeezed with purpose. With one hand, Kate snapped her neck and dropped the dead Lycan to the sand. She watched as the dead Lycan slowly changed back into Paula, only this time she was naked.
She promptly kicked Paula out of sight the opposite direction from Gina. "Stinking Lycans!" She was now absolutely livid. "CASTLE!"
She jumped back to Castle's bedroom not worrying about the muscle bound guy since she had dumped his bleeding, unconscious body outside of the Caribbean Islands, teaming with sharks.
She bent over Castle's body and found that he was sleeping soundly. Kate let her head rest against his as her anger started to leave her. She lifted her head back up and stroked a finger down his cheek. "I think I love you Castle, but we still need to talk." Kate pulled out her phone. "Hi, sweetie. Are you done enough for tonight?" she asked her.
"I think so mom, it isn't going to make much difference if we wait one more day. Why, what's up? Why did you jump away so suddenly?" Alexis was curious.
"I'm coming to you, sweetie, don't move." Kate told her and jumped to Alexis. "Come with me. We need to talk and you're going to need your laptop," she said and jumped for their bedroom where Alexis picked up her laptop. She jumped them once more to Castle's bedroom.
"Is this Castle mom? He's handsome." Alexis liked women and thought Paige was lovely inside and out, but she could see what her mother saw in him. "Is he alright?"
"He's had some trauma recently and he saw me jump. I wasn't thinking. I screwed up." She hung her head low. Castle had talked to her and responded using his training, but that didn't mean anything at the moment.
"What happened?" Alexis didn't understand why she was here.
"Come on, we need to talk and I need your help." Kate walked with her out to the living room. "Sit down and see if you can connect to the internet."
It only took a moment to hook up his wireless router. "I'm in, what am I doing?" Alexis questioned.
"I need you to look up everything you can about a double death in Manhattan roughly 3 years ago. It would have been a five year old girl and an elderly woman," Kate explained.
"I'm going to need a little more than that mom. Granted what you are talking about doesn't happen every day but a little more information would help in my search." Alexis thought she could probably do it without that information, it was just that it would take longer.
"The 5 year old girl's last name would likely have been Castle and both of them would have been killed by being ripped to pieces." Even saying it had Kate really worried and a little scared.
Alexis's eyes opened wide at those words - Castle and ripped to pieces.
Kate was pacing back and forth nervous as hell. Was this what she feared it was? Was her own daughter…GOD, she was nervous. She just kept pacing while wringing her hands.
It was distracting for Alexis, watching her mother pace, fluttering her hands. "Will you sit down mother, you're making me nervous," Alexis complained.
"I'm sorry sweetie but I can't help it. If you find what I think you're going to find it will change everything…for both of us." Kate couldn't sit down or stop moving her hands.
"I've got something. There is an unsolved double murder where a 5 year old girl and an elderly lady were found ripped to pieces." Alexis gave her mother the address.
Kate moved over and sat next to Alexis. She bent over and placed her face in her hands. "Oh god."
Alexis went back to her screen. "It says here the elderly woman was named Martha Rodgers and the little girl was named…MOM!?" Alexis looked at her mother with huge eyes and a question written all over her face.
"Alexis Castle," Kate moaned, with her face buried in her hands. "MOM!?" Alexis questioned once again.
Kate lifted her head and looked at her daughter with tears rolling down her own face. "It means Richard Castle is your father."

Wearing a chastity device and having less orgasms means over time it's possible that you will mentally tune in more to other erogenous zones; such as your neck, your nipples, your ears, your balls, and perhaps your anus. Through Chastity and orgasm denial you may become a more tender, more considerate, more sensitive and a more passionate lover. Gaining a better appreciation that your cock isn't absolutely necessary for good sex. You learn to enjoy the pleasures of your own body without orgasm or direct touch to your penis. You become a better lover by discovering new ways to arouse and excite the body of your Mistress, and overall you discover that your pleasure is to be found in your Wife's pleasure. Pleasing and pleasuring your Goddess is your reward – a reward that may earn you release and even orgasm.
Wearing a chastity device usually means that you actually become more sexually aroused during the day, as your mind returns to the one who holds your key. Every time you visit the bathroom you are reminded of your lock up and that this part of your body belongs to your Mistress.
The beginnings of an erection will feel more like a nice "erotic pain" rather than being unbearably painful. Wearing a chastity device means your penis is denied the full sensation you usually experience, and being unable to touch yourself is going to be frustrating.
