Rick took her to her apartment; she had said her place and he was never one to deny her.

They had barely made it inside her apartment when she practically jumped him, pinning him to her door. Her kisses were ravish and Rick was quick to respond. He wrapped one arm around her and led them to her bedroom with shaky knees. He gently placed Kate on her bed. Their clothes were off soon and that's when things became slower. Kate ran her hands over the familiar planes of his chest above her, and Rick lowered his mouth and started sucking gently on her pulse point. Most times after their first time were rather quick and naughty, but this time they decided to slow things down a bit. Rick slowly surged into her and she let out a moan of approval. He started the rhythm slow; in and out, in and out. But the sounds she was making heightened his arousal and he inevitably picked up the pace. She met him thrust for thrust. It wasn't long before she came. The words standing for her peaked state rolling off her lips, "Oh God Rick...keep going...ahhh...I love you...love you...so much...ah come now." Over and over again like a mantra.

He finally came. His words rolling off his lips too, "Ahh...yes...baby I love you...always...never letting go...love you Kate...forever." 'Forever' was the last thing he said as the last drop of his seed spilled into her. They never used a condom because she was on the pill.


The sun appeared through the curtains and Kate was the first one to wake up. She woke up to an arm draped around her and she smiled to herself; Castle was spooning her. She stayed like that, not wanting to break the spell that was cast over the two of them. It must have been nearing a half hour when Castle finally started stirring behind her. He must have thought she was still sleeping because he started peppering kisses on the back of her neck, something he only did when he wanted her up because, well, because he was horny. She turned around and greeted him with a kiss. It wasn't long before both of them were lying beside each other on her bed, chests heaving because of their "morning activity".

"Rick, why don't you shower while I whip us up some breakfast?" Kate asked standing up.

In the month that Rick and Kate have been dating, Rick made sure that Kate had food in her apartment. Most of the food was breakfast stuff because they were always out for lunch and dinner, whether it be fancy restaurants or late night Chinese take-out while sitting on Rick's couch working on a case.

"I have a better idea. Shower with me and then we can make breakfast together." Rick said, standing up and wrapping his arms around Kate's waist.

She was going to say no; that they needed to have food in their stomachs so that they don't pass out from the lack of calories. But he started kissing that sensitive part behind her ear and she lost all reason to say no. She managed out a shaky "Okay" and they were soon in her shower. Kate squeezed out some of her cherry scented body wash and started rubbing it on Rick's body. She chuckled, no more like giggled, quietly and said, "You're going to smell like me."

Rick said, "I love it when I smell like an angel" causing Kate to blush.

Kate shampooed Rick's hair with her cherry scented shampoo; the stuff came in a whole bath set. He quickly washed it out and said, "Now it's my turn."

He rubbed the body wash on her rather quickly. Kate thought that he wanted to get this over with quickly so he can occupy himself with some other, rather inappropriate things. But she these thoughts left her mind as Rick started shampooing her hair. He was massaging her scalp oh so gently. His nine-year-old-on-a-sugar-rush side came out when he started sculpting her hair in funny ways. She had to laugh at his childish sides; it was one of the many parts of Rick that she loved. She rinsed out the shampoo, turning away from Rick as she did. Just as she was going to turn back, Rick entered her from behind, pushing her to a wall of the shower. Kate's arms wildly flung around trying to find something to hold on to, settling for the shelves with all of her shampoos and soaps. She whimpered more out of shock than the feeling of Rick inside of her, oh so still.

"God you turned me on just by washing shampoo out of your hair. I must have it bad." He paused. "Hmm you are so wet. I don't think it's just from the water." Rick said.

Kate didn't have time to even formulate a reply. He was rocking his hips against her and she soon did the same. They kept a fast, even tempo, only faltering twice when she came and he shortly after.


They came out of the shower and dried each other off, pausing to make out a little, though nothing more. He put on his boxers and she wore his button-down shirt.

They had a nice breakfast of pancakes and fresh fruit. Later, when they were washing the dishes, Kate couldn't help but think how domestic they were doing dishes, even if they were half naked. She could get used to this.
