Conquered
Chapter 22
It is two months later
Christmas had come and gone. Rick and Alexis were still moping everywhere they went. Their favorite holiday had been an almost complete bust as far as they were concerned.
No Christmas lights, no Christmas tree, no Christmas decorations. Hell, they didn't have any Christmas paper to wrap presents in. About the only thing they did have was Christmas movies and that was close to just about it.
While what Kate really wanted to do was slap him silly to snap him out of it, she didn't. Mostly because she didn't want to lose the progress she had made with him, and besides, Alexis was in the same sad shape. So unless they both snapped out of it, one would simply drag the other back down with them.
Libby was down for a nap, and Kate was enjoying some downtime by sitting in the dining room drinking coffee, trying not to think of anything or worry about anything. She hadn't even noticed when he'd sat down across from her. "Michael?" When had he shown up?
Michael was there looking for some support. "We need to do something."
"About?" Kate was still lost in her moment.
"Alexis and her dad. So Christmas was a bust. It's not the end of the world, but you wouldn't know it by those two. Alexis is… I don't know what to call it. I've never seen her like this. It's winter, so it's cold outside. I've considered all kinds of things, but so far rejected all of them. Got any ideas because I'm fresh out." He really wanted the Alexis he loved back, not this moping and down thing that was walking around and sleeping in his bed.
"Like father like daughter. I learned long ago that those two come as a package. I don't try and compete for his love. I just want what I can get. But you're right. They've been moping around long enough. I do have one idea. I've been holding off using it, but maybe it's time.
"You don't have to answer this and you don't have to go along with this… You and Alexis are sexually active, yes?" Kate had a plan, but it meant sex.
Michael knew he was starting to blush. "Since before we even came here, yes. Why?" What did that have to do with getting Alexis to stop moping?
"I've let Rick use them on me on occasion, but he resists when I want to use them on him. I have these Velcro straps that you can use to tie a person to the bed." Kate watched as his eyes opened wide.
"I'm listening." Michael might be surprised, but he was also a little desperate. It wasn't that either of them were really that far gone. It was just they had changed and weren't changing back.
"I can let you use them provided you can think of things to do to her body that will leave her begging. Enough to stop moping about how Christmas was a bust. No presents like she used to get. No Santa Claus. For me it was just another day, and I get that they like Christmas. But that day is gone, it's time to move on."
Michael sat there thinking. He knew what their love making was like and yes, they did experiment a bit from time to time. What Kate was suggesting was out there. It sounded like S&M to him, and he wasn't sure Alexis was into that. She hadn't said anything or given him any indication that he had spotted.
"I'll try anything." Michael was in.
Next thing Michael knew, he was tying the straps to each corner of the bed and then hiding the other end for later. Now he just needed to figure out how to get her to agree to it and figure out just what he was going to do to her body in the hope that she would snap out of it.
O~O~O
Rick was off with Libby doing something. She had planned for a little more father-daughter time together and hoping that would help Rick snap out of it. Kate had just gotten the coffeemaker to start working when suddenly she was being hugged.
"Alexis?" Kate was a bit shocked. It wasn't that Alexis still hated her. Almost far from it in fact. It was just she rarely if ever acted like this. Kate hugged her back. "Not that I'm complaining, but what is this for?"
"I think you know why, and I'm sorry," Alexis told her, however, Kate was still in the dark here. "I got Michael to tell me where he got those straps from."
"Oh, that!" Now Kate understood. "I take it from the hug that it worked?"
"I've always been curious about stuff like that, but didn't have the courage to even talk about it. Then suddenly Michael did that. Can we keep them for a little while longer?" Alexis let go of her and looked up at her.
"Actually, I kind of need to use them on Rick. Since it worked for you I'm hoping they'll work on him. But I promise to give them right back." Kate found herself being hugged again.
"Deal! And I didn't hear what you have planned for Dad. But it gives me an idea about what to do to Michael." Alexis let go of Kate again, smiled wide, and left her.
"Well, I guess that's one down and one to go." To be honest she was a little surprised that it had worked. She was pretty sure neither of them had the experience she or Rick had, so that it worked at all was interesting.
"I wonder if I should mention this to Laura. Those straps just might be a very hot item around here." Kate was still in the dining room enjoying a small snack and drinking her coffee when Alexis came back with one of those plastic shopping bags.
"Here, I took them off our bed. Good luck with Dad. And thanks again." Alexis hugged her and left them on the table.
Kate kept her coffee and retreated to their bedroom to prepare their bed for tonight while Rick was still gone. She had only just made it back outside when a happy and laughing Libby came charging up to her. "HI, MOMMY!"
Since there was no Rick right behind her she had to get Libby to explain what had her so happy. Apparently Rick knew just what it took to keep her happy already. It only reinforced her belief that Richard Castle was an excellent father.
O~O~O
Libby was sleeping, or she was supposed to be sleeping. Since today was movie night everyone was in the movie room. It was Dean's turn to choose, and they ended up with an action movie, though no one complained.
Kate turned her head from her place buried in Rick's embrace, which was exactly where she liked to be, and looked at Alexis. She appeared to be equally comfortable and for a change seemed happy. Now Kate just had to get Rick happy again.
Since he was holding her close and one of his hands was inching its way closer and closer to one of her breasts she was betting he was finally better. That didn't mean she wasn't going to use those straps tonight, though. Because she most definitely was.
It did have Kate thinking maybe Libby had been helping without knowing it. She was just being herself and Rick couldn't resist trying to make her happy. Kate simply snuggled in and watched the movie.
O~O~O
Rick was naked first and Kate came into the room and shed her night shirt. "On your back, babe." Kate walked around the bed and got on her knees, not failing to notice that he was watching her. His eyes were darting from her eyes to her breasts.
Yes, she was maybe still a little sensitive about her chest size, but Rick hadn't said a word, and even now he was paying attention to them so that made her happy.
"What are you doing?" Rick felt something…but what, as Kate moved his left hand and suddenly there was a restraint around his wrist.
"You're still sulking over Christmas, so I'm going to take your mind off of Christmas permanently. Trust me, you'll love it." Kate moved to his left foot.
It was only then that Rick caught onto what she was doing. "Are you tying me to the bed?"
"And what do you think I'm going to do after I finish?" Kate moved to his right foot. So far he wasn't fighting back, though she did have to put a bit more force into moving this foot.
"Go sleep with Libby and leave me stuck here," Rick submitted since yes, he was still sulking over missing Christmas. He couldn't help it. But playing with Libby was helping.
"Now that's an interesting idea. I hadn't actually considered that. Thank you!" Kate's eyes danced merrily.
"KATE!?" Rick resisted his right hand being strapped into place.
"Relax, babe, I would never do that to you. Unless you do something to force me to. Now calm down. I promise not to hurt you, and I'm not going to use my anal hose on you. That one's just for me." Kate slammed his hand down and quickly strapped it into place finally.
Now she moved to the foot of the bed and began the routine she had dreamed up just for him. It started out with her dancing at the foot of the bed and running her hands all over her body. It wasn't until she noticed that his cock was responding that she changed to something else. Now she was standing there and stroking her core to get her wet.
This seemed to be working really well for both of them. Her idea was to tease him till he couldn't stand it, then just keep teasing him and never let him climax.
O~O~O
This section is very "M" rated. Reader discretion is advised.
O~O~O
Kate was actually enjoying this. His cock was still hard as a rock and it was twitching on its own. She would occasionally give it a little touch. She didn't need him climaxing too soon.
"Kate, please?" Rick could feel tears running down his face.
"Uh-uh, lover. We're only just getting started." Kate went back to finding all of his erotic points that didn't include his cock.
O~O~O
"KATE! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! LET ME COME!" Rick was down to pleading with her, and his tears were flowing strong. "K.A.T.E!"
Kate was pretty sure she just about had him where she wanted him. He was really moving in an attempt to get free, and she was beginning to wonder if the bed was going to hold up.
"Are you going to stop moping about missing Christmas?"
"YES!" Rick was ready to say yes to anything.
She gave him a real test. "You going to let me fuck your ass again?"
"YES! Anything, just let me come," Rick begged her.
Kate was actually between his legs and looked up at him. "Will you agree to be my personal sex slave?" If he agreed to that, she knew he was ready.
"YES!" Rick didn't bat an eye. He would agree to anything right now.
"Yes, Mistress?" Kate questioned him.
"YES, MISTRESS! P.L.E.A.S.E!" Rick was barely even registering what she was saying. Whatever it was had a yes answer.
Kate grinned and crawled up his body. She didn't really have any plans to force him to call her Mistress, but if he gave her cause she was going to remind him he had promised.
She took hold of him and put him at her opening. Looking down at him, he had a face she had never seen before. Between being full of tears he had such a needy look.
Kate dropped herself onto him and buried him deep inside her in one swift action that had both of them crying out. Rick might be suffering, but her own pussy was screaming to be fucked, and they both desperately needed that.
It only took Kate a few strokes before Rick literally screamed. It was something he had never done in the past, and she could feel him climax inside her, filling her up completely.
Kate was all worked up, just not nearly as much as Rick. With two more strokes she climaxed and collapsed onto Rick. He was still in his afterquakes of his own orgasm.
O~O~O
Kate had just finished releasing Rick from the restraints when she found herself being forced onto the bed, put on her hands and knees, and then his cock was pounding her pussy.
"OH GOD!" Rick had fucked her, but he hadn't ever been so animalistic about it. He was groaning, and even growling. "Fuck me, babe, fuck me hard."
What Kate hadn't counted on was his ability to keep from climaxing again so soon. He was still pounding his cock in and out of her pussy and had her moaning and whimpering. "Yes, fuck my pussy. Fuck my pussy. Fuck it hard."
Kate cried out her orgasm and her muscles clamped around his cock. Rick groaned loudly as he climaxed inside her yet again and collapsed against her.
O~O~O
It is safe to read again. Thank you for being careful
O~O~O
When she could move again, she cuddled up next to Rick. "How do you feel?" Kate asked quietly.
"I think I pulled a muscle somewhere." Rick listened to Kate chuckle. "I won't say that was mean, but that was the single most powerful orgasm I've ever had in my life."
"So are you still going to mope around here about missing out on Christmas?" Kate questioned him.
"No. Sorry about that." Rick shifted positions, rolled over, and kissed her temple. "It's just the aliens are messing with my traditions. Christmas means something to my family." Kate relaxed with that answer. She would wait and see if he meant it.
"I don't remember you buying those straps, Mistress." Rick grinned since she had gotten him to promise a lot of things.
"I've been hiding them. I'd tell you who used them first, but you'd freak out, so I won't."
"Do I want to know where you learned to do that?" Rick queried.
"You're not the only one in this family that reads, babe, and no, I'd never done that to anyone before. You're my first. I'll use them again if you give me cause," she threatened him.
"I may just have to be a bad boy then, Mistress," Rick said teasingly.
"Rick, you don't have to call me Mistress. That was just to see how ready you were. Could I get you to say anything? Promise anything?" Kate didn't want to be called Mistress. Not really.
"Good. I don't want to have to explain to Alexis why I call you Mistress. Mistress." Rick got jabbed in his ribs and grunted.
"Do you still love me? Still trust me? Still willing to marry me?" Kate questioned.
"Yes, yes, and yes," Rick answered and felt Kate kiss his exposed skin.
"We still need rings. I'm not sure how well this is going to work out," Kate mentioned.
"Neither am I, actually. Getting a ring sized for your thin fingers is going to be another issue," Rick pointed out.
"I can always do the old high school trick and wrap tape or string around the back of the ring. We do have tape, right? I know we have string." She hadn't needed any tape yet, so didn't know if they did or not.
"Several kinds. Most are in one of the workshops somewhere," Rick confirmed. "We'll find something. It might not be the ring of your dreams, but we'll find something." He vowed he would hit every jewelry store Victoria had to find her one.
"It'll be the ring of my dreams if you put it on my finger," Kate murmured. Then they both were silent. But she couldn't get her mind to shut down. "Can you believe how far we've come?" Kate hoped he was still awake.
"You interrupted my book launch party. Boy, did you piss off Gina for doing that," Rick admitted for the first time.
"Well, you were a person of interest. I had to verify that the writer wasn't the killer. I had just cause. That, and it was fun. I got to haul Richard Castle in for questioning." Kate smiled at that memory.
"You couldn't resist me." Rick just knew she was taken by him.
"You were a self-absorbed jackass that was completely full of himself. After you got the mayor to convince everyone to follow me around, I had three options. Put up with you and hope you would go away eventually," Kate started to tell him.
"Shoot me," Rick added since she had threatened that a number of times.
"Make that four. Another was put in for a transfer, but I was afraid you'd just follow me there and get Bob to convince that precinct captain."
"So what was number three?" Rick didn't know when to keep his big mouth shut and this was no exception.
"Resign," Kate stated flatly.
Rick bent his head to look down at her. "You wouldn't!?"
"I thought about it. For about a minute. Except doing that meant I might never solve who killed my mother. So I waited for you to get tired of it and finally walk away. But you never did. Till that one moment, and I'm still sorry. I was still a little messed up back then." Kate knew she had at long last changed. Sadly, it had ultimately taken aliens and maybe Libby to get her to change in the end.
"I still don't really know who ordered her murder. But I have you to thank for finding out who killed her. I don't know how to thank you for that." A hundred thousand was a lot of money, and he hadn't batted an eye when he offered to her.
"You were worth it, Katherine Beckett. You'll always be worth it."
That had Kate feeling tears start. "I love you." Kate kissed his body and relaxed next to him. Her stupid brain was finally willing to shut down so she could get some sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a potentially busy day. They were all going ring shopping.
