He stood, his hand locked in hers, watching her gaze off into the distance, waiting on the sidewalk. She was just in front of him, and from where he stood he could see the vast expanse of naked skin at her back and side. It was truly a magnificent dress.
Unable to resist he reached out and ran a finger tip lightly across the small of her back, smiling as she turned to his touch, tipping back into it.
"We match" he said pointing to their clothes, complimenting each other in black.
She smiled "Don't we always?" she teased.
He shrugged his head "Sometimes."
"A lot" she affirmed "Lanie has this theory that you and I plan in advance."
He laughed, "Yeah we web cam before work just to decide…" his voice trailed off as she turned to smirk at him.
"What?" he asked
She shook her head "Web cam, really? And you have us using it to plan outfits? You need some more lessons on being wild Ricky…" she grinned as he took in the implication
He let his hand rest gently against the small of her back again and felt goose-bumps erupt across her skin.
"Are you cold Kate?" he asked, preparing to slip off his jacket and give it to her, but she kept a tight hold of his hand.
She shook her head smiling.
"But you have goose-bumps?"
She rubbed her thumb across the back of his hand and leant into his shoulder.
"That has very little to do with the weather."
She scrunched her body more into him, fitting into the hollow of his side perfectly as he un-laced their fingers and slipped his arm around her shoulder, holding her tight.
The 6 inch spiked heels putting her at perfect height to lean across, kiss gently at his ear, before biting the lobe and pulling it into her mouth and sucking on it gently, making him groan, before she pulled back and asked
"So where are we going?" she leant forward again laying another kiss to his ear as she waited for an answer. Her tongue traced patterns against him as she slipped her hand inside his jacket and ran her fingers lightly over his chest.
"Fo…Four Seasons" he stuttered.
"The hotel?" she leant back to look at him confused.
"Yeah." he answered sheepishly.
She rolled her eyes "What are we going to do in a hotel we couldn't do at your place?…or mine?"
He smirked at that, confident "A lot! It will be worth it!"
"It better be ," she said, but she smiled playing along with him.
"I can't guarantee it will beat you in my shower but I wanted to do something extravagant, show you off a little," he smiled as she made a face "and show you something."
The way his eyes danced, lighting up his face as he smiled, made her heart do a little flip in her chest, she scrunched her lips together for a second before she gave in.
She leaned back into his neck and tried the ear trick again, whispering as she moved closer.
"What do you want to show me?" she squirmed against him again, hand slipping back under his jacket.
He shook his head as she sucked on his earlobe again, determined to hold out this time, but he was fighting a loosing battle because her other hand was travelling up his back, once it reached his neck she raked her nails up and through the hair at the back of his neck.
He was on the verge of giving in when there was a loud BEEP behind them making her jump, bite down, and giggle as he pulled away from her.
"Ow!" he rubbed his ear glaring at her as she laughed.
"Sorry Castle but look…" she ran her hand along his neck, "now you have goose-bumps too."
"Yeah," he said rubbing his ear, "and teeth marks."
Another beep sounded behind them, and she turned, fully prepared for what she would see, after all, how long had she known him? Yet the sight still made her catch her breath.
Castle and a Limo, she hid a smile behind her hand as he linked their fingers together and pulled her forwards with him.
The black limousine was parked (illegally she tried to ignore) waiting for them. Castle waved to the driver as he got out and opened the door for them.
"You booked a limo," she laughed shaking her head.
He nodded "Of course, there is no way I would have been able to drive with you dressed like that…I still…I can't…" he looked at the dress. "You should be against the law!"
"And you wanted to make a statement!" she said flashing her eyes and pointing to the limo as she climbed in, carefully, very mindful of the thigh high split in the dress, and the fact that she…well she would tell him about that later.
He shook his head, lost in watching her legs as she scooched across the seat making room for him to follow, she didn't move very far over, smiling up at him as she patted the seat.
"You wanted to make an entrance." she said grinning as he slid in next to her.
He started to protest, but she took his hand and brought it to her lips before she lay it across her exposed thigh and turned to him.
"You are so lucky I am wearing a dress worth making an entrance in."
He felt the engine start, or maybe the earth moved, as he took in her words and there meaning. She wanted to make and entrance with him. It surprised him because on one hand she was such a private person, but on the other he knew she was adventurous. Such a contradiction, but she kept him on his toes and he liked it.
She was happy for them to be seen out together, make a show for all the world to see. Ok, maybe that wasn't exactly what she was saying, he was getting carried away, and anyway it wasn't what he wanted for tonight, but someday, soon!
He felt her squeeze the hand that was resting on her leg, and realised he was gazing off into the future, which was insane because his hand (his hand) was on her thigh, her leg, her very nakedly exposed leg.
He dragged himself into the present and set about focusing his attention solely on her.
"It's a beautiful dress," he said as she smiled, "But you could crawl out of a dumpster with a cabbage leaf on your head and you would be worth making an entrance with."
Her smile softened as he spoke, her eyes blinking rapidly, and her cheeks flushing.
"Thank you." she said quietly.
She kept his hand trapped against her leg, as she burrowed into his side, dropping her head onto his shoulder. He said it with such sincerity, his gaze so intense and loving, she had to duck out of it, just for a second, to pull herself back together.
He went to speak but changed his mind, something about the way she was curled into him told him she needed a minute of quiet.
Words were his thing, his form of artistry, had been for as long as he cared to remember, but tonight she was stealing them all. He wanted to pour them into her, paint them around her, but she needed silence.
So he decided to change tactic and instead of being a man of words he would become a man of action.
"Kate" he said smiling widely, a little manically as he turned in the seat and faced her.
She smiled back at him as he turned.
"What?" she said laughing, peeking at the crazy look on his face, the crazy look that reminded her of…
"Err Castle," she said, still smiling but scooting back along the seat so she moved away, it was fruitless because he just moved with her, his hand still burning, searing into her leg.
His gaze trailed her, sending heat into her skin, hot and intense, like a lion stalking a gazelle, she was going down, easy prey.
She laughed, she had always considered herself the hunter, the stalker, the vixen, but here he was, his look making her back up against the side of a freaking limo, as desire bloomed in the pit of her stomach she wondered if maybe she was rubbing off on him.
He looked ready to devour her.
And she felt more than ready to be eaten alive…
She laughed, realising everything she was thinking sounded dirty. Hell, everything she was thinking was dirty.
He fell across her, his lips diving into the warm hollow of her neck, as he lay lavish kisses across her skin.
She stopped still, as he leaned further into her "So for future reference," she stated as he slipped a hand under her knee and pulled her low into the seat "your limo is my elevator."
He lifted his head from her neck, his lips parted in mid kiss, to look at her confused.
"The place where you go a little crazy."
"Anywhere where you are is my elevator." he said, he ran his hand slowly up her leg. His fingers raising the hem from her thigh and dragging it higher. She flung her hand against the window for balance as his tickling touch made her slide in the seat.
She grabbed at his hand, stopping the movement, before pulling him closer.
She stared into his eyes for a few seconds letting her breath even out before feeling him press forward and kiss her, his lips soft and eager as they parted over hers.
They stayed wrapped in each other, oblivious to the world, as they kissed and groped and moaned against each other, like teenagers.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but she became aware that they had stopped moving and there was a persistent knocking coming from his side of the car.
A muffled cough followed and someone called his name.
They had arrived.
"Err Castle…" she said dragging his lips from her neck and holding his face so she could stare into his eyes "its time to make that entrance!"
His face glazed over "Oh Kate that is the most sexy…"
She cut him off laughing "Not what I meant caveman, not at all!" She pointed to the window.
He pouted, but kept his body still against hers, breathing deeply and finally he heard the knock of the driver.
She held onto his face, unable to resist and pressed her lips, gently, to the pout of his.
"Kate," he whined "if we need to leave you need to keep very, very still and definitely stop kissing me!"
"Having control issues are we Castle?" she asked laughing.
He nodded.
She laughed again at the pained look on his face, jiggling her body against his.
"Stop Kate seriously." His eyes glazed over again, as she stopped the movement as much as she could.
"Want me to help you snap out of it?" she asked mischievously.
"That's not possible." he said "Even your voice, just hearing you talk…" he shook his head before he could drift off again.
"Oh I think I can do it" she said "Castle" she pulled his face lower, nearer to hers "when I phoned your mother…"
He jumped back a little "My Mother, What?"
"I asked her to recommend…" she continued, ignoring him.
"Kate, why oh why are we talking about my Mother?"
"…somewhere to buy lingerie." she said as the heat and passion drained from his face.
He made a strangled noise and sat up, pulling himself far back away from her. Looking at her like she told him she ate babies.
"Kate I…I wanted to cool down…not never be able to touch you again."
She laughed as he tapped against the window of the limo and the door finally opened.
They stepped out into the cool air, Kate smiled as she caught sight of her steamy hand print disappearing in the condensation on the window.
She was feeling smug and light headed and very much in control again.
"Aww," she said mocking him as he stood waiting for her pouting.
"Its not funny, I pictured you in my Mothers lingerie, Kate, we can never have sex again."
"Its fine Castle" she said dismissing him with a wave of her hand.
"HOW is that fine Kate? HOW?"
"I decided it was a waste of time." she said as she walked ahead of him.
His pout fell away but he looked confused "You decided…what?"
She smiled as she stopped in front of him "I decided wearing lingerie was a waste of time, I didn't think I'd need it."
She trailed her fingers along his chest as she walked past and carried on into the hotel, leaving him gaping on the sidewalk
