Kate's belly is rumbling with hunger and while she groans with irritation her partner laughs beside her.

"Hungry?" he teases and she gives him a glare.

"No," she says stubbornly and he chuckles.

"You sure? I got some leftover pasta from yesterday, you know, the kind you like," he says in a sultry way and she can feel her mouth water at the thought of the delicious dish he makes at times. She's quiet for a few seconds and she can feel his gaze on her as he most likely sees how badly she's considering saying yes. "You know, the loft is on the way to the precinct. We could simply call Ryan and Espo and tell them we're taking the lunch break now."

She sighs with somewhat annoyance as she gives in. "Fine," she simply says as she calls their coworkers to tell them about their plans to eat lunch out.

It doesn't take long before they arrive at the loft and once they're inside he sets his steps towards the kitchen while she takes a moment to look through her notes of the case.

"Why would someone kill the janitor always being nice to everyone? It doesn't make any…" Kate stops talking when she sees his ass sticking out from the fridge and she can't help but bite her lower lip as she remembers last night.

He straightens up and looks at her with question in his eyes, asking why she stopped mid-sentence, only to seemingly read exactly why in her eyes. His lips turn up in a smirk and she feels her insides jump in excitement. He closes the fridge again and walks around the counter in order to invade her personal space in the way he can't when they're at work. Only now, they're at the loft and not in the eyes of their colleagues or witnesses.

"You like what you see?" he says in that sultry bed-voice of his and she curses him for it.

She doesn't lean away though, too drawn into him and the tension between them to really care when his lips brush her ear with the promise of more. She shivers.

"Castle," she whispers, clearing her throat. "We need to get back to work, eat and go ba-" she gasps when his lips are, so suddenly, attached to her neck.

"We got an hour," he mumbles electrically into her skin.

She feels his hands land on her hips and she's not fighting at all when he pulls her closer to meet his hips with hers. His lips are nipping at her skin and she just can't take it anymore, she raises her hands to cup his face in order to get him to move from her neck to her face where she attached her lips to his in a searing kiss. As their tongues are finding each other their hands are getting friskier, touching and pulling each other closer.

"Mm, bed," she mumbles and he smirks against her lips right before he pulls away and grabs her hand to lead her to the bedroom.

As soon as they're in the bedroom they're not so modest anymore. Fingers instantly finding the hems of their clothes in order to peel them off of each other. Before they know it they're rolling around in their bed, moving in perfect rhythm to reach that high only the two of them could give each other. Once they're getting dressed again she's shaking her head, constantly looking towards her watch to be observant to the time.

"I can't believe you talked me into this," she complains and feels his eyes turn on her.

"Me?! It was you giving me those sexy eyes, not the other way around," he says and she feels her cheeks turn hot as she stubbornly shakes her head.

She puts on her pants and buttons it as fast as she can. "We're going to be late, come on, we will have to eat in the car."

He chuckles as she runs past him to go and heat up the pasta. She watches the food with her stress-levels rising every second it takes to heat up. Her partner isn't exactly quiet as he walks up behind her and she feels his lips kiss her neck.

"Nuh-uh," she says, ducking away from him immediately. "What if Gates questions us? Do you really want her to believe it's your fault again?"

"Why wouldn't I tell her the truth and say it's yours?" he questions and she gives him the look.

"As if she'd believe you."

He snorts. "Touché."

The second the microwave makes the beeping sound stating it's done she's forcing it out of it in order to stick a fork inside it and takes a bite before handing it to him.

"Come on, we have to eat on foot," she says and he immediately follows her. They take turns taking bites as they move along down to the car and while she drives he feeds her a little now and then to make sure she gets enough to eat.

Kate's still chewing the last part of the food as they enter the precinct and meets Ryan and Esposito on their way out.

"Hey, what did you guys have?" Ryan questions and Kate is just about to answer when her partner is answering a second before she's able to open her mouth.

"Sex."

Kate starts coughing, having almost choked on the last pasta she had been about to swallow when his way to honest answer comes out of his mouth. She feels absolutely horrified as she sees her two coworkers look between them with shock in their eyes.

"Pasta!" she exclaims as soon as her mouth is clear from food. "We had pasta!"

"Oh, you meant what we had for lunch," Castle says and she doesn't even try to stop the hiding behind her hands as she groans in humiliation.

"O-kay," Esposito says before looking towards his partner. "Well, anyway, we're going to talk with the janitor's girlfriend."

"He had a girlfriend?" Kate immediately jumps on the job-train, not wanting to discuss her sex-life another second.

Once they're informed the two detectives stroll away and as the elevator doors close, leaving the two partners alone, Kate's slapping his arm hard and he yelps.

"What was that for?!" he exclaims and Kate glares at him. "Okay, so maybe not my finest moment." He tries to smile but she isn't budging.

"You think."

"Well, let me make it up to you tonight," he says and she bites her lower lip.

"You better," she mutters right before walking into the bullpen, completely refocusing her mind to the case. Time to work.
