[Chapter 11]

Kate was standing over a cowering and very nervous Rick, who was kneeling near the couch, totally surrounded. "Damn, you're fast, old timer," she grinned evilly with a huff. "But like I said before, you're going to pay for that." Picking up a pillow off the couch, she raised an eyebrow, "I hate to take such, drastic measures, but I really don't have a choice, do I?" Rick gulped.

And just like that she was straddling him, hitting him as hard as she could with the pillow. He yelped, trying to get her off. He glanced over to the couch and saw another pillow laying there. Raising his right arm to the couch, he tried to reach for it but the pillow was just out of reach. He began to tickle her frantically, causing Kate to jump up off of him and onto the floor next to him.

Rick leaped up from the ground and yanked the pillow off the couch, running over to the kitchen. It took Kate a moment to realize that he had fled. She slowly got up, pillow in hand, as she looked around the loft for the writer. Looking over to the kitchen, she saw the reflection off of the refrigerator. He was sitting down behind the counter, hugging the pillow tightly to his chest. Bingo.

She grinned, kneeling down and quietly making her way to the other side of the kitchen counter. Kate jumped up from her position on the opposite side of the counter, "Boo!" The smile she had on her face quickly disappeared, he wasn't there. Kate placed the pillow in front of her for protection. He could be anywhere...Rick just smiled as he watched her from his secret position.

"I will find you!" she called out, a hint of nervousness evident in her voice. "You can't hide forever!"

Kate was slowly walking over to his office, the pillow held firmly in front of her. At the slightest noise or movement, she'd whip around, ready to strike. Rick smiled as he grasped the door handle in his large, muscular hand. Right when she passed by the door, he made his presence known. "Peek-a-boo!" He yelped, pouncing on the detective.

He grabbed her around the waist, hoisting her up. Kate's legs were flailing in the air as she kicked and bucked, trying to break away from his tight hold. She kept flinging the pillow back against his arms, sides, and occasionally, head.

"Rick! Put me down right now!" She yelled, unconsciously rubbing her hips back and forth against his own. He gritted his teeth as he brought her through his office doors, kicking it closed behind him and heading to his bedroom. The pillow went flying in the air, falling onto the floor, long forgotten.

He pushed her down onto his large king-sized bed, his body immediately covering hers. He grinned down at her, "Payback time." And soon his lips were meshed with Kate's.

She couldn't help but fall into the kiss. Her hands slid up his broad chest, over his stubbly cheeks and finally in his soft hair; her long fingers becoming tangled. Rick took her bottom lip between his teeth, gently tugging on it. This caused Kate to let out a deep and feral moan, she pulled his body even more on top of hers, loving the feel of his weight pushing her into the soft mattress. His hands held onto her hips, yanking them up to his so that she could feel what she was doing to him.

Hands roamed and shirts were strewn all over the floor. Rick's bare skin hot against hers, heating the room with a thick fire that could only be produced by such passion. Breathing soon became labored and hands had taken a backseat as bodies came closer. Kate's black lace bra was undone and as soon as it was off, Rick took one breast into his mouth, savoring her taste and feel. Then he moved over to the other breast, giving it the same affection.

When he was done with her breasts, he slid off her pants and ran his hands over her soft skin. She reacted to his touch by spreading her legs wider, giving him access to take her matching panties off. He complied slowly, touching every part of her he could in this act.

First, he kissed one thigh and then the other, not going anywhere near that one placed she longed for him to touch.

"Please," she begged.

He didn't give in, he just continued to tease her. Finally, he placed a finger against her core. A tremor passed through her as a moan escaped her lips. Then he lowered himself down to her, spreading her legs wider, and finally bringing her to his mouth. He went back to teasing her, sucking one moment and then licking another. He was bringing her closer and closer to climax with each flick. He entered his tongue into her, moving in and out, waiting until finally she pulled his hair slightly as she screamed his name.

"Rick! Oh, God!"

Spent, she laid across his bed, breathing hard and fast, the world swirling around her in a sea of colors and resounding pleasure. Rick moved up her body and put his lips to her ear and whispered, "Shhh...we've got to be quiet." She silently nodded as her hands moved down, sliding off his jeans and his boxers.

Kate raised her hips to his, giving friction to him as no one had ever managed. He placed himself at her opening, once again teasing her by rocking his hips slightly. She couldn't take it anymore, she needed him inside of her now!

Forcefully, she grabbed his face in-between her hands and through gritted teeth, commanded, "Fuck. Me."

With these words he penetrated her, a deep yet quiet moan mingling the two's voices into one. He began to thrust in and out, bringing himself to the hilt and pulling himself almost all the way out. Her silkiness enveloped him as his fullness eased her. Their thrusts began to meet each others, the air becoming hot around them as bodies crashed into each other and moans spilled into the night air.

A pounding grew between Kate's legs and into her core as it spilled throughout her body. She grasped Rick as she shuddered around him, his climax coming as fast as hers and riding just as hard. Their bodies stayed in the same position for what seemed like forever as they looked into each other's eyes.

"I love you," he whispered into her ear, turning her over and placing her on top of him.

Her hips rose, bending him deeply inside of her. She then lifted herself off of him only to bring herself back down. Soon, she was rising up and down rhythmically, her breasts bouncing as she roughly rode him. Rick's hand met her core as he rubbed her clit back and forth, making her nails dig deeper into his chest and leaving red marks in their wake. He began lifting himself to meet her, crashing their bodies together in mid-air.

Kate lost control, and she bit into her hand as a scream tore from her as she clawed Rick's chest with her other hand, the sensation bringing him to edge as she did.

When they came down from their sexual highs, she laid upon his chest, their heartbeats matching in a perfect rhythm. "I love you, too, Rick," she smiled, placing a tender kiss right above his heart. "I guess we're even now, huh?"

He reached up with his hand, moving a strand piece of hair out of her eyes. Their bodies were glowing in the aftermath. Blue eyes met free and they were forever lost in one another, not having another care in the world. Rick pulled the covers over them, trapping the heat growing between the two lovers as sleep was quickly upon them.

"Good night, Rick."

"Until tomorrow, Kate."
