Kate can't believe her boyfriend talked her into this. If someone from work saw them, they'd be screwed. Kate Beckett and Richard Castle has only been dating for a couple months and they still have a few more weeks before they are allowed back to the precinct for work but that doesn't mean she thinks it's safe for them to be seen together outside of their homes. Still.

"Castle, just take what you need and let's get out of here," she says as she looks around the store, pushes her cap a little further down her forehead.

It isn't going to help but when Castle, oh so jokingly, asked if she'd feel better undercover with a cap on her head she somehow said yes. And now she just felt stupid. Her coworkers would definitely recognize her if they were at the store, and so would the captain. The captain she is sure will not allow her partner back if she finds out they're in fact partners. Even if Gates doesn't seem to hate Castle the way she did in the beginning Kate has a feeling she wouldn't hesitate to kick the writer out if given the chance.

"Oh come on Beckett, this is fun," Castle says as he pushes the cart towards the next thing on his list.

"It's not," she grumbles, still looking around every now and then to look for anyone they might know.

She isn't aware of his hands before they land on her hips to pull her body towards him and she feels her eyes widen with fright.

"Castle!" she hisses but before she can say anything else he's kissing her lips and she forgets whatever was on her mind.

Damn, his kisses tastes like heaven and her mind spins as she kisses him back, getting lost in him. Her hands find their way onto his shoulders and she can't help but squeeze when his tongue slips past her lips and into her mouth, starting a familiar dance with her own. It doesn't take long before she starts moaning and he chuckles into her mouth.

"So, this is what I have to do to loosen you up," he mumbles against her lips and she realizes where they are.

She quickly pulls away from him and looks around, doesn't recognize any of the people that might have seen them. Turning back to him she punches his chest with narrowed eyes.

"Ouch," he complains but the grin on his face is not faltering one bit.

"Baby," she tells him, rolling her eyes, and she turns towards the groceries to collect what they came for in this aisle.

"You know, you're cute when you're all relaxed and grocery shopping," he comments and she starts to walk out of the aisle.

Kate keeps her eyes open and scans the area as she walks to the next aisle. It only takes a few minutes before she feels his arms around her again, his head closing in on hers, his nose burying itself in her hair moving her cap a bit with the movement.

"If you want to you can grab some gummy bears and get out of here you can, I'll finish the grocery shopping and meet you at your place," it's only just loud enough for her to hear, truly meant for her ears only.

She smiles at that. "No, I wanna finish with you. Come on, let's go," she says as she turns her head to kiss his cheek. "Just, be careful, if you see…"

He smirks, pecks her lips in order to cut her off. "I know, or else we won't get to work together. Let's go."

Castle lets go of her after squeezing her a bit as a hug, and then they went on grocery shopping, both having smiles on their faces and Kate couldn't help but feel all warm inside at the domesticity of it all. The two of them should go grocery shopping more often.

THE END
