Welcome to BOQ Part 11. This is still not yet the M-Rated chapter, I was going to post it but I realized that I had made some major changes to the rest of the story and it would not work. I will try to fix that tonight, if possible. I am sorry that I didn't post any of this sooner but the last week or so has been slightly insane here. The rest of the week and up until next Tuesday, isn't looking any better either. I had a few spare minutes and my buddy Lisa told me that I needed to post. The only reason that I don't feel totally racked with guilt over not posting is that I did manage to write up a 3am plot bunny. It became two short stories, one in Kate's POV called The Scar and the companion in Rick's POV called Beautiful. If you haven't seen them, go check them out.

Disclaimer: I do not own Castle. Please also let me know if you see any typos in this part. I didn't get the chance to read it over again as I like to. Thanks!


Book of Questions Part 11

"Ladies, describe your perfect kiss," he asked causing Lanie to smile. "And have you ever had that perfect kiss?"

"Soft, slow and romantic and yes, I have definitely had the perfect kiss," Jenny said as she cuddled a little closer into her fiancé's arms.

"That sounds nice but I prefer the hot and steamy kisses. Had one just a little while ago," Lanie commented thinking about when she and Esposito had taken a little longer than the others to come back from eating dinner.

"I agree with both of you," Kate said.

"How can you agree with both things?" Ryan asked.

"A kiss can be so many things. It can start out slow and soft then progress to hot and steamy. Just like it can be a kiss that you are waiting for but when it finally happens, it's totally by surprise."

"And have you had this perfect kiss?" Lanie asked.

"Yes," she said not looking at anyone.

"So guys, what do you think the perfect kiss is?" Jenny asked.

"Bet you they'll say the same thing," Rick said in a stage whisper to Kate.

"Sucker bet," she replied in kind.

"Okay, Castle since I agree with my fiancée and Esposito probably agrees with Lanie," Ryan looked to his partner who nodded to verify. "What do you consider the perfect kiss?"

"Moan inducing," he said with no hesitation.

"What?" Esposito asked.

"A kiss so perfect that you can make her moan without even realizing it."

"Ah, moan inducing," Ryan said as he looked down at Jenny with a smile. "Yep, that would be a great kiss."

The two couples were lost in each other's eyes as Kate determinedly looked down at her book but didn't really see it. She was too busy reliving that undercover kiss and desperately trying to remember if she moaned or not.

"How many people in the room have you kissed?" Kate asked the next question before she realized what she read.

"Can I assume that you mean a real full-blown kiss instead of a peck on the cheek?" Lanie asked.

"Whichever," she said hoping that she could get away with that.

"Real kiss, just one, but Castle has kissed me on the cheek before."

"Oh really?" Esposito said crossing his arms over his chest and glaring at the man in question.

"I kiss a lot of women on the cheek," Castle shrugged.

"Uh-huh. I've only kissed Lanie."

"Just one," Jenny said.

"Just Jenny."

"Just one," Castle said suddenly realizing that he should have counted the peck that he gave Lanie also.

"So, Jenny how good of a kisser is Castle?" Lanie asked immediately.

"What?" Jenny and Ryan both asked in surprise, Castle himself looked a bit shocked.

"I know he's never kissed me more than that peck on the cheek and I know he's never manned up enough to ever really kiss Kate."

"Who said it was a 'real' kiss that I was talking about and not the peck that I gave you that time?"

"Because I know you've given Kate a peck on the cheek too," Lanie smirked.

"Oh, that's right. That time I was trying to distract you to get those crime scene photos," he looked at Kate smiling slightly, hoping that she would not be mad at him for his slip up of almost mentioning their undercover kiss.

"Yeah, right before I arrested you," Kate smiled. Rick's smile widened.

"So two, Lanie." The medical examiner just rolled her eyes and waited for the next question.

"Do you have any piercings or tattoos?" Ryan asked.

"Just my ears," Jenny said. "And I had to be sneaky to get those done. My dad didn't approve."

"No piercings and I'm not really into the whole tattoo thing," Ryan explained.

"I have my ears pierced and I have thought about other places too," Lanie said with a wink to Esposito. "Not sure about a tattoo though."

"Nothing is pierced and will not be either. I do have a tattoo from when I was in the service though. Beckett?"

"Ears, of course. I have mentioned other piercings and tattoos and one was a joke and the other wasn't."

"The tattoo was a joke," Castle said confidently.

"Nope, the navel ring was. Well, I had one but Mom found out about it, went totally nuts and made me remove it. I never got another one.

"Really?" Castle asked in surprise. "I thought you were joking about the tattoo. Can I see it?"

"No!"

"Oh come on, you show me yours and I'll show you mine," he said suggestively.

"Oh, yeah, like you have a tattoo?" Kate said dismissively.

"Yep. I got it in college. Kyra and I thought it would be neat to get tattoos together."

"You have a woman's name tattooed on you?" Kate asked in amazement.

"What would you say if it was just her initials, KB?" he asked with a wink and a small smile that turned into laughter when she glared at him. "It isn't. We were in an Egyptian history class together and I picked a glyph and she picked one also."

"Do they match?" Ryan asked.

"Sort of. Mine is of the god Thoth and hers was Tefnut."

"And they are?" Esposito asked.

"Thoth was the god of writing, magic and storytelling. He used his stories to convince Tefnut, the daughter of Ra, to come back home after she ran away. And what did you say your tattoo was again, Kate?"

"I didn't," she said stubbornly insisting on not telling everyone what it was. Rick pouted but Kate ignored him as she asked the next question.

"What do you think you would do if your partner were unfaithful?" Kate asked.

"I don't know," Jenny said. "Even though I didn't believe him a few months ago, I don't think that I will actually ever have to worry about that with Kevin."

"You don't sweetheart. And I know that I don't either," Ryan said.

"Leave him. If he cheats on me then he doesn't deserve me. And I wouldn't deserve getting into any trouble doing anything to him," Kate said.

"Divorce her," Castle said simply. "That's what I've done before."

"I had a guy cheat on me once," Lanie said before her partner interrupted her.

"Stupid man."

"I agree. He was lucky that I didn't do anything to him other than dump him."

"I'm surprised at you, Lanie," Castle said.

"We were pretty casual," she shrugged.

"And what would you do if Esposito cheated on you?" Kate asked.

Lanie looked between Kate then the man in question before she responded. "Let's just say I know how to hide forensic evidence if need be."

"Don't worry, chica. I might look but I don't touch."

"What are you looking for?" she asked with one eyebrow raised.

"I'm not looking! Sometimes I see a pretty woman, I might notice her but I don't do anything, Lanie. I swear."

"I know," she said finally showing her smile letting him realize that she was just picking on him. He crossed his arms in front of himself and rolled his eyes at her. He pointedly looked away from her and to Ryan to ask the next question but soon slipped his arm around her again.

"How do you feel about your partner greeting members of the opposite sex with a hug or a kiss?" Esposito asked.

"I think we just proved that I am a bit of the jealous type," Lanie said with a wry smile.

"It's okay, I know Lanie is an affectionate person with some people," Esposito said.

"It depends on who he would kiss or hug," Jenny said. "If it was Lanie or Kate, it would be no problem. But someone like Natalie Rhodes, well, I don't necessarily trust her."

"I trust her too but I have to say it's not my favorite feeling," Ryan admitted.

"Obviously, we aren't partners in that way, so it doesn't matter."

"But what would you feel if you were dating?" Lanie asked.

"I would almost be surprised if he didn't kiss women on the cheek. Now 'the signing women's chests' is all together different."

"I don't do that as much any more. And if Kate started kissing people like that, I would wonder if she had been taken over by aliens," he joked.
