"I kind of don't ever want to leave here," Kate admitted as she lay on her stomach and stared out of the window, watching as the sun rose while the writer continued to massage her back, her eyes shutting for a moment as she enjoyed the feel of his fingers on her skin. "I could imagine us just staying here forever, you and me on the beach every day, Alexis running around in the sand when she wasn't at school," Kate smiled as the writer leant down and kissed her neck while she moaned gently.

"I think we'd get fed up of the beach Kate if we lived here all the time," he admitted as she shook her head and turned around to face him, her smile growing as he leant down to kiss her properly, her fingers running through his short hair as she relaxed into the kiss. "The beach is for holidays, a place for getting away from the city but we need the city, Alexis needs the city and you, my darling, need the city to chase criminals," he declared, kissing her again as she smiled against his lips before sighing and cuddling into his arms as he moved to lie down beside her so he wasn't crushing her anymore. "So my beautiful detective, what do you want to do today on our last amazing day in the sun?" he asked quickly as Kate smiled at him for a moment before cuddling into his arms and kissing him again, not wanting to move out of the security of his arms as she buried her face into his shoulder. "We could play on the beach or we could go into town and go shopping for a while or we can do anything you want," Rick explained as she shrugged and shut her eyes, enjoying the feeling of his fingers drawing patterns on the hip.

"I like the idea of town actually, just you and me, shopping for a while and then we can come back and play on the beach," she admitted as they remained close for a moment before he slowly began to move, a moan leaving her lips when he slipped out of the bed and laughed at her reaction. She was different to the woman he'd first started dating! She was clingy and huggable and he loved this new side of her, even though he knew this Kate wasn't going to stay around when they went back to New York. "Where are you going? It's still early," Kate moaned as the writer laughed and leant down to quickly kiss her.

"I think holidays are bad for you detective, you act completely out of character," he teased as she shrugged and pulled him back onto the bed. "I was going to make you breakfast," he admitted as she shook her head and cuddled into his side. "Bacon, eggs, coffee," he whispered, smiling to himself when she looked up at him with her teeth in her bottom lip.

"You were going to make coffee?" she asked as he nodded, laughing when she leant up and kissed him before pushing him towards the end of the bed. "You can go and make coffee," she declared, the writer laughing as he stood up again and watched as she relaxed back into his side of the bed.

"I always knew you loved the coffee more than me Kate," he joked before they both fell silent. "I…" he began before she sat up silently and found his hand, lacing her fingers with his before he moved and kissed her gently, the two of them moving away from each other slowly as they both smiled.

"I promise, you mean more to me than coffee," she declared as he nodded and moved away from her. "Now please make me a coffee so we can cuddle again," she stated as he nodded and walked down the stairs, the writer disappearing from sight as Kate quickly laughed and fell back against the mattress. Hearing her cell phone ring loudly, Kate groaned as she opened the bedside drawer to see Esposito's name flashing on her screen, her eyes shutting as she pressed the answer button and held it to her ear. "Beckett," she said quietly, knowing that this probably meant that her holiday was over.

"You're dressed," Rick declared as he entered the bedroom to see Kate pulling a t-shirt on over her jeans, a sad smile covering her face as she moved towards him and took one of the coffees from him before burying her head into his shoulder, the writer looking across to see her cell phone lying on the bed. "You need to go back don't you?" he asked quickly as she nodded and shut her eyes, not wanting to move out of the security of his arms.

"A serial killer, four women are dead already and they need as many cops as they can find," she admitted as the writer pressed a kiss into her hair for a moment. "I'm sorry, I know it's only a day early but I really wanted to spend the day with you. Town really did sound amazing," she whispered as Rick shrugged and looked at her for a moment before kissing her lips. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I can't have a job that lets me have vacation time, I know you really wanted to show me around," she admitted, the writer shrugging as he put his own coffee down and moved towards his wardrobe. "You could stay," she whispered.

"No, I'm driving you home," he declared, the brunette smiling as she sat on the edge of the bed and watched as he quickly dressed himself, throwing his clothes into his bag before turning to look at her as she crawled towards the window and looked out on the beach. "We'll come back Kate, I promise, we'll come back," he whispered as she nodded and smiled out at the view, taking in the breath taking sight for one last time. "Next time we'll bring Alexis and do some more things together, just the three of us," he whispered as she nodded and turned to face him again, noticing that he was now completely dressed and packing the rest of his stuff away into the bag. "We should go Katie," he stated as the detective climbed off the bed and wrapped her arms around this neck.

"This may have finished early but it's been the most amazing holiday of my life," she declared as he stared at her for a moment. "I've never trusted a man enough to go away with him, to let him take me on holiday somewhere where we can be completely alone," Kate explained as she ran her fingers across his cheek. "So hold onto that thought, hold onto that because that shows how much you mean to me," she whispered gently before kissing him again, his arms wrapping around her as she moaned into his mouth. "This has been fantastic," Kate whispered, the writer nodding as he stared at her in amazement.

"It's definitely been that," he smiled, wrapping his arms around her as she cuddled into his hold. "We should get going, New York needs it super detective at the moment," he announced, the brunette rolling her eyes as she laced her fingers with his and grabbed her bag before walking out of the room with him, not wanting to leave at all.

"So are you coming over tonight for dinner and to stay?" Rick asked quickly as Kate relaxed back in her work chair and stared at the almost empty precinct. Everyone else had headed home for the evening to try and get a good nights sleep but she'd decided to stay and attempt to find anything that might break their case and help them catch the killer they were chasing. "I miss you and mother's decided to take Alexis out for the evening again because there's a performance on that she can't let Alexis miss," he admitted as Kate groaned, wishing that she could go back and cuddle with her boyfriend and have dinner with him. "But you're going to say no because you've decided to stay at the precinct and attempt to solve this case on your own," he declared as Kate sighed and nodded, hating that he knew her so well.

"Why do you have to know me so well?" Kate asked quickly as the writer laughed down the line and sighed. "I really want to have dinner with you and to just cuddle but I need to solve this case, they need me to solve this case," she declared as she looked up at the murder board, sighing as she heard the writer moan, the elevator dinging behind her. Who the hell was coming back at this hour? Not bothering to turn around, Kate sighed as she kept the phone against her ear and tried to think of something to say to Rick to say how sorry she was. "I was thinking that maybe once the case is closed we could take Alexis to the museum or something," Kate suggested.

"Sounds amazing," Rick smiled as Kate beamed. "So you sat at your desk right now Kate?" he asked as Kate shut her eyes.

"Yeah," she sighed, wishing that she wasn't. She wanted to go to his loft, she wanted to make out with him on the couch and be nervous when his daughter and mother returned and her t-shirt was somewhere on the floor and she was blushing because she didn't know what to do. She just wanted to spend the time with him that they were supposed to be spending in his beach house miles away. "I wish we were still at the beach," she admitted.

"So do I," he smiled. "I'd probably do a barbecue and we would sit on the beach and eat and then I'd probably start kissing you and playing with whatever you'd be wearing, probably that sexy bikini of yours," he commented as she laughed and nodded, enjoying his plan. "But I'm happy to wait for that," he admitted.

"You're really amazing Rick," she declared.

"That doesn't mean I'm happy Kate, I'm extremely jealous that works taken you away from me detective when you should be in my bed completely naked with me kissing you everywhere," he announced as she laughed and sighed.

"Look I need to go now, I've drunk about eight coffees today and I need to pee now," she laughed as the writer groaned.

"Too much information Kate," he laughed as she rolled her eyes. "I'll talk to you soon," he declared, the two of them saying goodbye before she put the phone down and walked towards the toilets, not seeing anyone. Had she imagined someone entering through the elevator? Walking out of the cubicle a few moments later, Kate sighed as she quickly washed her hands and looked at herself in the mirror before walking towards the door and leaving to see that all the lights were off and there was a small shining light in the direction of the break room. What the hell?

"Hello?" she called out, walking towards the break room before noticing the candles that covered the break room table and the two boxes of Chinese that were resting on the table. What the hell was going on? Feeling someone cover her eyes, Kate laughed quickly as she smelt the familiar smell of Rick's aftershave. "What are you planning Mr Castle?" she asked as he groaned and moved his hands from her face.

"I texted Esposito and asked whether you were on your own and told me you'd refused to leave so I planned dinner," he declared, the brunette smiling as she looked across at the candles and Chinese that he brought to her. "I was just lucky that you needed to pee because of your coffee addiction," he teased as she groaned and sat down quickly before sighing as he sat opposite her and took hold of her hand. "I thought maybe I could help you look into the case," he stated as she bit into her lip and nodded quickly before taking a bite of her meal and moaning.

"Thank you," Kate beamed as he shrugged and just watched her in amazing. "I don't deserve you Richard Castle," she admitted as he shook his head and leant across the table, the brunette doing the same to kiss him quickly as their smiles grew. She didn't care that she was having a romantic dinner with her boyfriend in the homicide break room; it was the most romantic thing that anyone had ever done for her.

So what do you think?
