So, I feel like I have done a bit of a "Bait and Switch" here. I mean, I intended this story to be T rated as I don't really like writing the more mature subject matter. However, the more I tried to think of ways to insinuate that they had finally done the deed, the more lame each idea sounded. So, I hope it is not too salacious or smutty. I don't like gratuitous sex just for sex sake. I hope I don't loose any readers with my rating upgrade, or downgrade depending on your viewpoint.

To Woadangel, I hope this is the payout you were looking for and to Dee Hensley, please go feed the dogs before you read this chapter. I wouldn't want them to starve. Finally to CaskettShipper, her is the other Adele song I promised...

Castle and Kate had a lovely dinner at a beach side cafe in East Hampton and then set out to get the groceries needed for the week. Kate had no idea what an arduous undertaking that was going to be. The house was completely void of any kind of food so they needed everything. Not to mention they were going to have guests and neither she nor Castle had any idea what their friends planned on preparing. Combine that with the fact that all of the grocers in The Hamptons were more like small specialty markets. Needless to say, three hours and about twenty stops later they finally pulled into the garage. On the drive home Castle had decided that if they needed anything else he was going to have it delivered. They talked as they carried the groceries into the house. Once everything was inside Castle suggested that Kate go relax while he loaded the fridge and cupboards. She was glad too oblige and headed upstairs to take a long bath. She thought about grabbing a book from the library, but decided against it for tonight.

While out on their shopping adventure Kate had shopped in a few places on her own. She couldn't resist many of the high end merchants that this area had to offer. She only bought a few things, but one in particular seemed appropriate. She took it into the bathroom with her. She filled the tub with warm water and bubbles and sank in for a nice relaxing soak. As she rested her head againt the slanted back of the giant tub she devised a plan. She knew tonight was the night she would finally commit to Castle completely. He already had her mind and soul, so it was only appropriate to give him her body as well. She couldn't help but smile at the thought and she knew it wasn't the hot bath water that was making her skin flushed.

Castle finished unloading the groceries. They had gotten so much stuff from so many stores that the task took him longer than he expected. After filling the fridge and pantry and even the deep freeze located in the garage, he then had to collect all the bags and put them away. Of course, it being The Hamptons, every bag was a small shopping bag with little handles. By the time he got to the last and what seemed like the hundredth one he was just frustrated. He knew he had better things to be doing at that moment. He thought of all the ways he wanted to touch Kate with his hands but instead he was still folding up grocery bags while she lay naked in a bathtub upstairs. Finally he finished the task, turned out the lights and made his way to their bedroom. When he entered he was surprised that she was still in the bathroom. He thought about going in and taking a dip with her but he wanted to be patient and let her take the lead. He changed into a pair of PJ pants and climbed into bed with his back against the leather padded headboard. He had grabbed a few books and placed them on the nightstand on her side of the bed earlier in the day. Books he was sure she had already read, but knew she would most likely enjoy reading them again. He picked one up but didn't have a chance to open it before the bathroom door swung open and Kate stood leaning against the frame. The stance reminded him of the way she stood with bolt cutters in hand outside of a storage unit not too long ago. He quickly shook the thought of that day out of his mind. His heart skipped a beat and his head began to swirl. The light from the bathroom silhouetted around her. He could see the outline of long slender legs as his eyes traveled from the floor up to take her all in. He could tell she was wearing a very short robe of some sort, but the color and texture were distorted by the bright light behind her. He was frozen in place on the bed as she began her accent towards him.

Kate had moments ago finished up her bath. She heard Castle enter the bedroom a few minutes prior. She towel dried her hair and picked up the silk robe she had bought earlier in the night. Somehow she had managed to find one in the exact color blue as the bed linens she had seen on the bed earlier. There was a matching negligee that she didn't bother to buy. Why complicate things? After putting on the robe she swung the door open and stood for a moment allowing him to take her in. Kate had no delusions about herself. She knew she was graced with good looks and right now she wanted nothing more than to give Castle a sneak peek at what she was offering him. As she stood in the doorway, she could tell by the squint in his eyes that the light behind her was helping to tease his senses. She reached to her right and switched off the light and began to enter the bedroom. Before making her was to the end of the bed she pressed a button on the iPod that she had docked on the speakers before her bath. She loved to watch him while he watched her dance. As the bluesy burlesque sounding music began to play, she climbed over the foot board and stood on the bed with her feet on either side of his. The look on his face was priceless. She could see love, of course, but he also grinned with a lusty yet childlike expression. She mirrored back at him with the same expression, but with a little less of the childlike exhuberence. What they were about to do was very adult. As the music played she began to swing her hips and slowly untied the robe to reveal the lack of clothing beneath. She didn't take it off, but let it hang open as she danced and sang to him.

Found myself today singing out loud your name,
you said I'm crazy,
if I am I'm crazy for you.

Sometimes sitting in the dark wishing you were here
turns me crazy,
but it's you who makes me lose my head.

And every time I'm meant to be acting sensible
you drift into my head
and turn me into a crumbling fool.

Castle watched as she ran her fingers through her damp and tousled hair and then ran her hands down her body and teasingly spun the belt around her waist before untying it and opening the front of the robe. He had never seen anything so beautiful in his entire life. He had been with alot of women, but he was sure none of them could hold a candle to Kate. His whole body reacted to the sight of her nude form standing over him. he wanted to pull her down on top of him, but he also didn't want to cut the show she was putting on for him short.

Tell me to run and I'll race,
if you want me to stop I'll freeze,
and if you want me gone I'll leave, just hold me closer baby,
and make me crazy for you.
Crazy for you.

Lately with this state I'm in I can't help myself but spin.
I wish you'd come over,
send me spinning closer to you.

By this point she couldn't stand not touching him so she imitated the lyrics and walked up the matress and lowered herself into his lap. She straddled his hips but remained on her knees so as not to actually come in contact with his obvious arousal. She ran her hands over his bare chest and then placed his hands on her bare hips. She shivered at his touch. She wasn't so sure she would last the whole song like she intended. The need to be with him was almost primal, but she managed to maintain control. She continued to dance and whisper the words into his ear.

I keep on trying, fighting these feelings away,
but the more I do,
the crazier I turn into.

My oh my, how my blood boils, it's sweet taste for you,
strips me down bare
and gets me into my favorite mood.

She was driving him crazy, he was doing his best not to rush things, but just watching her move above him and feeling her breath as she whispered is his ear was more tantalizing than he could have ever imagined. But, his desire to let her be in charge and to give her what she wanted kept him reeled in. After all, that had been the dynamic of their relationship all along. He was hers to do with as she pleased. He had no other purpose on this earth, but to be to be there for her and he was fine with that. He couldn't help but to close his eyes and hold his breath as she lowered herself over his lap and ground her center into him. Thank goodness it was brief or he would have been done right then and there.

I keep on trying,
fightin' these feelings away.
But the more I do
the crazier I turn into.

Pacing floors and opening doors,
hoping you'll walk through
and save me boy,
because I'm too crazy for you.
Crazy for you

Kate finished she song strong and as she accentuated the last lingering line she slid the robe off and threw it on the floor. Then she scooted back down the bed and began to pull at the legs of his PJ's. "You've seen mine, now show me yours Lover Boy." She sound of her voice was almost foreign in it's huskiness.

Castle quickly obliged and she couldn't help be smile as she gave him the same lingering look he had given her while she danced for him. Her need for him was becoming overwhelming. As she crawled back up the bed she could tell her legs were beginning to feel like jello. She saw him start to shift like he wanted her to lay on her back next to him, but she had other things in mind. She stopped him by clamping her knees on either side of his thighs. "Oh no Mr. Castle, I'm writing this scene. You just sit back and relax." She gave his shoulders a nudge as she tucked a pillow behind is hips and he shifted down the bed slightly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and began to kiss him slowly. His tongue softly tasted hers and the fire began to build more intensity in her body. Castle's hands made their way to her breasts and he was slowly kneading them in the same rhythm his mouth was moving against hers. She couldn't hold back any longer, the ache between her legs was pulsing and she knew he was waiting for her to make the move.

Castle spoke against her lips, "Thou art to me a delicious torment"

She laughed as she moved her mouth from his and raised an eyebrow at him. She loved this game as much as she did, but wasn't sure this moment was quite the right time. "Castle, leave the Buddha out of this."

She bit his lip as he smiled against her teeth. Their breathing became more labored as she raised up and let him explore her nipples with his very talented tongue. He decided to give her a little taste of her own medicine and bit down on her hardened nipple. Her head flew back and her nails dug into his shoulders. He moved his arms around her back and lowered them to her bottom. He could feel her legs shaking from the exercion she was putting out just straddling his wide hips and he wanted to be able to support her if needed. Finally she lowered herself down and took his tip into her throbbing center which at this point had pooled with anticipation. She slowly lowered herself to take even more of him in, but the position they were in was not going to allow her to envelop him completely she was going to shift positions and wrap her legs around him, but the current angle was allowing for such sweet pressure to the most sensitive area of her anatomy and she couldn't help but almost purr as she arched herself forward ground herself into him.

Somehow he must have read her mind and pulled his head up to get her attention. "Ladies first." He used he hands at her backside to help grind her into him again.

Kate was overwhelmed that he would put her needs before his. She had never been with any man that concerned himself with what she wanted and she wasn't sure she should take him up on his offer, but was unable protest at this point. She just wrapped her arms tighter around his neck and began to slowly ride him up and down. He was pretty much at her mercy at this point. She hadn't allowed him any leverage to move around beneath her, but he was putting his other assets to use. The feeling of his mouth on her breasts and neck was adding to the overall heightened sensations she was experiencing. The friction she created as she moved drove her closer and closer to the release she was seeking and she sunk her teeth into Castle's shoulder to keep herself from screaming as the build up came. Her whole body stiffened as the orgasm hit. Her walls quivered around his tip and she held her breath as the shocks ran the entire length of her body finally exiting out her curling toes. After what seemed like hours, but was actually only a few seconds, her muscles gave out. She was unable to stay on her knees. As she rested her head on his shoulder and tried desperately to catch her breath she felt Castle's hands behinds her knees. He helped her shift positions and she wrapped her legs around his body. He bent his legs indian style so she was sitting in his lap. She felt a little guilty that he was putting her comfort before his pleasure. Once she was able to speak, she took his face in her hands.

Castle was supporting her weight above him. He wanted to let her ride the wave down before moving on. Just the act of helping her wrap her legs around him was almost enough to finish him off, but he needed to feel himself completely surrounded by her. With they way she was seated over his lap, the new angle would allow him to bury himself in her once she was ready. When she finally lifted her head from his shoulder and took his face in her hands, he could see nothing but pure love in her eyes. Without speaking he knew she trusted him and was ready. He gave her a quick kiss as she lowered herself to engulf him completely into her body. Their faces were only inches apart and he watched a small smile form at the corners of her mouth and heard the whimper in her throat as he filled her. He knew he had never fit this perfectly before, not just physically, but mind and soul, as well. He gave her a few seconds to adjust and stretch into it before he beganto move his hips. They never broke eye contact as their bodies moved in perfect rhythm. He knew he was close, but wanted her to go with him. He wanted to give her time to catch up with him. She had come out of her haze and was now working his mouth with hers as her hips rotated with his. He couldn't tell if she was actually kissing him or trying to eat him alive, but either way it felt like heaven on earth. Each time she moaned against his tongue he hardened a little more inside her. He grabbed around her waist and slowly flipped them over so he could lay her beneath him. It was her turn to lean against the pillows and padded headboard. Castle used one hand to brace his weight and she other to pull her back to him so he could taste her mouth again. They heaved in attempts to catch their breath between each kiss. They never lost rhythm and she tightened the grip she had on him with her muscular legs. She hooked her ankles together and helped him as he drove into her. The movements were achingly slow and she needed to feel more of him. Castle watched as she took his hand from behind her head and sucked his thumb into her mouth. His breath hitched a bit as she lowered the moistened thumb and placed it between their bodies practically begging him to touch her. He found the swollen spot and grazed the pad of his thumb against it. She hitched her hips forward but gasped and grabbed his wrist.

She spoke in broken english in between breaths, "No... too... sensitive... harder... Rick"

He quickly realized that her skin was still too hypersensitive from her earlier climax. He placed his thumb against the nub again, but instead of grazing it, he pressed it into her and she again began to grind against him. He knew he was only a couple of thrusts away and by the way her body stiffened beneath him, she had caught up to him quickly. As he felt the first quiver of her walls around him he could no longer hold out. He released into her as his hips jerked of their own volition. He watched her as she watched him. She called out his name as she gripped the sheets at her sides and tears ran from her eyes. At that moment he knew had never seen a more beautiful sight in all his days. He couldn't help but follow her lead and he watched his own tears fall from his eyes and land on her chest. As his strength gave out, his lowered himself down and laid partially on top of her and partially beside her as they both struggled for breath. He nuzzled his face into her neck and she kissed his forehead. They were both soaked with sweat and the heat radiated from their bodies, but neither one was going to break contact.

Castle knew she was the best he ever had, but said the only words he could form at this time. "God I love you Kate." As he spoke he pulled her in closer, he couldn't get enough of her.

Kate was still reeling from what had to be the two best orgasms she had ever had. Her whole body was humming from the ecstacy she had just experienced. She chuckled as she realized the joke was on her. She had told Castle soon after they met that he had no idea how good they could be together, when infact it was her that, until tonight, had no idea. When she finally caught her breath enough to speak she was surprised at what popped into her head.

"Lucky is the man who is the first love of a woman, but luckier is the woman who is the last love of a man."

"Now you want to play, seriously?" Castle knew the quote well, but chose to recite the name of the book instead of the author. "Hidden Power of the Heart"

Kate raised up on her elbow to look at him. "What? Have I stumped the great Richard Castle?"

He reached up and grabbed her back down to him. He kissed her before whispering in her ear. "Oh no Detective, I know the author's name, but I fear it may not be in my best interest to say another woman's name while in bed with the woman of my dreams."

She giggled as he tickled her and they once again found each others lips. They both knew that sleep was the last thing they needed tonight. This night was about affirming that they belonged to each other and that no matter what the world threw at them, they had each other to lean on, each other to confide in, each other to honor and most importantly, each other to love.
