Playing Hard to Get
Chapter 30
It is now four months later
Kate was home while Castle was out and about. He said he needed to find something but wouldn't tell her what. Alexis wasn't always working on her wedding plans at the dining room table, but she was today.
"How are we doing?" Kate bent down and kissed her head. Kate was getting kisses and was just as easily giving them back.
"Pretty good, actually. All 120 for the reception have responded, and we're up to 311 of the 350 for the wedding itself. You chose to go with the locally made food and not use your friend Madison Queller since she's making your cake. We only have one final payment to go for everything.
"The 350 copies of Heat Wave have finally arrived, so you and Dad need to get busy signing them and putting them back in the box. The wedding sign-in book is right over there." Alexis pointed at it. It was quite the book in Kate's eyes.
"You have your dress, and Dad has decided on his tux. It needs altered, but it will be ready for him to pick up next week. The flowers you'll carry will be picked up the day before. You and Dad have selected your music, and the photographers are under contract, one for each location." Alexis rolled her eyes. "I still can't believe we needed two of them."
"You're doing great, Alexis. We couldn't have done this without you." Kate hugged her and started for the kitchen to find a glass of wine. "Is there anything we have left to do?"
"You would have managed, and the only thing either of you needs to do is work on your vows. I've never heard Dad complain so much," Alexis added.
"He had to cut 50 people from the wedding and even more for the reception. That wasn't easy for him, Alexis," Kate chided the teen.
"I suppose." But Alexis didn't see the problem. Most of those people were names she had never even heard of before, so just how important could they have been anyway?
"I'll remind you that you said that when you get married and have to cut 50 people from your own wedding," Kate told her as she poured her favorite wine.
"Yeah? Well, I've got news for you. I'm eloping. I'm only doing this once," Alexis said and chuckled. And that got Kate to burst out laughing.
"There's just one problem with your plan to elope. You'll deprive your father of getting to walk you down the aisle. Of course, knowing Castle, that might not be such a bad thing." Kate reconsidered just how bad an idea eloping was. Now it was Alexis who was laughing hard.
Alexis grinned at her. "Dad can walk your children down the aisle."
"Children as in plural? Just how many children do you think I'm having? Keep in mind how old Castle will be by the time they start college." She and Castle hadn't even talked about children in their lives.
"The loft isn't going to be big enough to hold them all," Alexis said, straight-faced, and tried to keep from laughing. "Three sets of twins, maybe."
"ALEXIS!" Her soon-to-be stepdaughter had just lost her ever-loving mind.
"Aren't twins part of your family history?" Alexis asked oh so innocently.
Kate opened her mouth to say NO, but closed it and thought about that. "I don't really know. I need to talk to my dad." Kate took her wine to the living room and sat down, taking out her cell phone to talk to her dad.
Alexis closed her laptop and scooped up what she had on the table. All done at last! All that was left was for them to get married. And if she was lucky, she'd find pretty lace garter with a blue satin bow on it for Kate.
"SERIOUSLY, DAD!?" Kate yelled into her phone, suddenly thinking of having her tubes tied or getting Castle snipped. "Will you please stop laughing?" She let her phone fall into her lap while her dad kept laughing. Then she picked it back up. "You and Mom only had me," Kate remarked, trying to save her sanity.
"Okay, enough. I'm hanging up now." Kate actually hung up on him just as Alexis plopped down next to her.
Alexis couldn't help but grin at her. "And?"
"Oh, shut up." Kate sat there and sulked before picking up her wine glass and drinking half of it. "Mom had a twin sister, but she died from crib death, and Mom never even told me. If she wasn't already dead, I swear I'd kill her. Then Dad had a twin brother, but there was some kind of accident, and he died when he was a year old.
Kate gulped the last of her wine. "I'm in so much trouble."
Alexis smiled at her. "So I might actually get to have a big family!"
"Just for that, you're having triplets. I'll find a way to make sure it happens," Kate declared and had to listen to Alexis laugh at her. "Keep it up, and you can say goodbye to your father," Kate said tartly, and that only made Alexis keep laughing.

They both watched Rick walk into the loft and bypass them and their dogs lying there relaxing. They hadn't even bothered to get up and bark at who was at the door and watched him head straight for the study with what he was carrying.
"What's Dad hiding?" Alexis wondered and watched him close the door behind him.
"Forget that. Why didn't Dahlia or Lilly jump up and bark at him? Those two just let him waltz right in the front door." Kate was still looking at those two. They were both now fully grown and ten months old. They would be a year old about a month after the wedding. They were both proving to be pretty clever at certain things. They lived slightly different lives, so perhaps Lilly was a bit smarter. She had grown up in a precinct, so she met many people, both cops and bad guys.
Alexis was up and walking over to the wall of books so she could spy on her dad. "Alexis!" Kate hissed, only to have her wave a hand at her and hush her.
Then she was back. "Whatever it was, Dad put it in his safe."
Kate turned her head to look, but there was a wall of books and a closed door. She found what Castle had done to be interesting because he'd told her what the combination to his safe was in case something happened to him. He knew she would want what was inside it.
"Midnight fingers tonight," Alexis proposed since she wanted to know what it was.
Kate studied her. Alexis was thinking of cheating and looking. And to be honest, Kate liked the idea. "Leave it to me. I'll get him to talk. I have my ways," Kate told her and Alexis began to smile.
"I'm so glad that it's you marrying my dad, Kate. I can't think of anyone better." Alexis hugged her.
Kate hugged her tight. "I'm happy too, Alexis."

Kate was ready. She had lubed her butt plug, the one with a fox tail attached, and inserted it. Next, she put her pasties over her nipples. Then came putting on her fox ears. It was a cheap plastic device similar to Disney Mickey ears.
Now she was on her hands and knees on the bed. She was waiting for Rick to come out of the bathroom after taking a shower to get clean. Once he did... "Come over here, Rick. Kitty wants to play," Kate purred at him.
Once he was within reach so that Kate could lean forward to take his cock in her mouth, she didn't. She backed up off the bed instead.
"On the bed, lie on your back, and spread your arms and legs wide, Rick," Kate ordered. Once he was, she got down on her knees and attached the strap attached to the bed to his wrist. "Relax, Rick. Kitty wants to play."
They had played this game before. Kate was kind of a fan, but at least all she needed to do was use the butt plug with a tail attached, so she didn't mind it that much.
Soon she had Rick secured to the bed. Next, she sat on him with her back turned to him, making sure her tail brushed his face. Then she grabbed a bottle of lube and coated her hands with it.
"Kitty will let you climax, Rick, but how long this takes is up to you. The better you eat my Kitty pussy, the faster you get to come. The worse you do, the longer it's going to take."
"Oh, God!" Rick groaned loudly, and Kate smiled and started working on his cock. It took nearly no time at all to get him hard.
Just then Kate scooted back over his face. "Eat my Kitty pussy, Rick. You need to concentrate."
Kate kept stroking his cock, massaging it up and down, and circling it with her hands. She could hear Rick groaning, and his pussy eating wasn't up to par.
"Concentrate, Rick. My Kitty pussy has needs." And that had him back to eating her pussy.
Since she had him the way she wanted, she switched to playing with the helmet head, stroking it with either one hand or both. She even used her nails to scratch the edge of the helmet.
Now she really had him groaning. "Concentrate, Rick. You are not meeting the needs of my Kitty pussy." That had instant results!
Kate concentrated on his cock, but she let an occasional moan escape her lips. Kate had learned that first night in Paris that Rick really knew how to eat pussy, and he was still damn good at it.
Except soon, he was neglecting his duty of eating her pussy. "I think you'll have to satisfy my Kitty pussy some other way, Rick." Kate scooted forward off his face.
"Kate, nooo." He would try harder. He would!
"Too late, Rick. Let's see how long you can hold out." Kate grinned wide as she continued working on his cock.
She soon had him groaning and begging her. "Not just yet, Rick. Maybe if you had paid attention to my Kitty pussy." Kate kept up her work. That only had him groaning even more.
"KATE, PLEASE!?" Rick begged her even harder.
"Not yet, Rick." Kate tried every trick she knew and what else she had learned about Rick's cock and all the time they had been making love.
Except she screwed up, and suddenly he groaned loudly. He erupted and climaxed all over her hands and his stomach. Kate cursed internally but merely changed plans and continued massaging his cock, especially the head. She knew her clit could get seriously sensitive. She also knew his cock head could do the same.
"KATE, GOD, PLEASE!" Rick was now seriously testing his bonds. He was even crying, tears falling down his face.
Kate alternated between stroking his cock, playing with his head, and even slapping his cock with just one hand and then two before suddenly stopping for a moment and going back to massaging his still-hard cock.
Rick yanked on his restraints even harder with both his hands and even his feet. "KATE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!"
"What did you put in the safe, Rick? Kitty wants to know."
"GOD, KATE!" Rick pleaded with her to stop. It was a mix of pain and incredible pleasure.
Kate tried again and released his cock for a moment. "The safe, Rick."
"HONEYMOON PLANS!" Rick yelled.
"Ooo," Kate crowed. She liked the sound of that. "Where are we going, babe? Kitty needs to know. She hates surprises."
"KATE, PLEASE!?" Rick still had just enough of his mind left to fight back.
"Tell Kitty where we are going on our honeymoon." Kate knew she was cheating and should just let him surprise her. But she was having too much fun with his cock and listening to him beg. She loved being in control, and this was the ultimate control.
Rick was crying. "TAHITI! Kate, please," he implored.
"Tahiti. Huh." Kate liked the sound of that. "Okay, Rick." She let go of his cock, got off him, and released him. Rick lay still on the bed, but he was working on recovering as Kate climbed up on the bed on her hands and knees.
"Kitty thinks you've been a good boy. You can fuck her pussy now." Kate wiggled her butt, making her tail sway from side to side.
In just seconds, his hard cock was pounding away, in and out of her soaking wet pussy. God, she needed this.

Kate still had her outfit on – her butt plug with tail, pasties, and fox ears – but she was resting again. Rick, who was next to her, was huffing and puffing after finally climaxing inside her.
"That was mean," Rick complained.
"Actually, it was rather fun. You know where my G-spot is, so now I know where yours is." Kate smiled wide. "Well, Kitty does."
Rick shook his head. "Not that, Kate, our honeymoon. I meant for it to be a surprise." He was upset that she had used sex to get it out of him.
"You know I hate surprises, right?" Kate reminded him. "Now Kitty wants to know all about our honeymoon." She reached down and took his balls into her hand. "So talk."
He felt her squeeze just a little. "Kate!?" He glared at her. "Fine, but this is under protest. Next time I want to keep a secret and surprise you, I won't even bring it home with me. I'll put it in a safe deposit box," he warned her and felt her squeeze.
Rick sighed. "It's a 12-day cruise. We start with a two-night stay in a hotel in Papeete, Tahiti. Then we board a cruise ship with eight ports of call. Moorea, Bora Bora, Raiatea, Hilo, Hawaii, Nāwiliwili Kauai, Kahului, Maui, Honolulu, Oahu, where we have a hotel for one night before flying home."
"Wow." Kate sat up on her legs and reached back to move her tail trapped under her legs. "That's two weeks of vacation time, Rick." She liked it, but that was almost all of her vacation time.
"I asked Roy how much vacation time you'll have when this takes place, and you'll have a little over two weeks so you can do it. Still, I can cancel if you don't like it and think of something else," Rick offered. He was willing to risk that she would like it, and it sounded like she did.
"NO! Kitty definitely approves." Kate leaned down to kiss him. "I so badly want to be married to you, Rick. I love you and trust you with my life and my heart."
"I love you, Kate, and trust you with all our lives and my heart." Rick smiled adoringly at her. "One more month, Miss Beckett."
"There's only one problem with two Castles being in the Precinct." Kate grinned at him. "We won't know who they want when they call our name."
"Then both of us will have to answer and work it out later." Rick lifted his head to kiss her.
"Are you ready for another round, Rick? Kitty has needs, and you haven't yet satisfied all of them." Kate squealed when Rick flipped them, and she found herself on her back, watching as he kissed his way down to her core.
"OH, GOD!" If he was going to find her G-Spot, they would need something first. "Towels, Rick, or we're going to need a new mattress," Kate panted.

Kate found Rick in the kitchen, wrapped her arms around his neck, and looked up at him. "Why do you look sad, babe?"
"Gina is on my case to finish my next Nikki Heat book," Rick grumbled. "But I have to admit that I'm pretty far behind."
"Alright, then what's the answer for this?" She knew he needed to write the next book to meet his contractual obligation with Black Pawn.
"Not going into the Precinct, unfortunately," Rick sighed.
"Well, that doesn't sound so bad." Yes, she would miss him, but at least he would be home when she got here. "Why do you still look sad?"
"I was thinking of moving out to the house in the Hamptons immediately after the wedding and spending the summer there until it was time to go on our honeymoon. I should be able to have it completed by then." Assuming he could get enough writing done.
She stared at him in dismay. "Not be at the Precinct and not at home?" Kate hated his idea. How was she going to make love to him? She was going to have from not being around him every day. He was her life. She loved him.
"I can arrange for a town car to drive you out whenever you get off work and have two days off. You haven't seen the house in the Hamptons yet." Rick tried his best to sell it. "You'll love it. The house itself is amazing. It's secluded, beachfront, and even has a heated pool and a lot of grass."
"I suppose if I have to." But now she was just as sad as he was.
"I'm sorry, love, but I really need to finish. If I don't, Black Pawn can take their advance back and could sue me for breach of contract." Rick knew he didn't have much choice. If he stayed here, he would want to be involved in her murder cases even after the wedding.
"I know, babe, I know. I'm just going to miss you." Kate looked up at him, searching his blue eyes and trying to get lost in them.
"It's only until I've finished writing the book. Then we can go on our honeymoon. You know...the one that you got out of me with your cheating." Rick was still a little upset over how she had done that.
"That was fun, actually. Kitty loved it." Kate smiled at him as both dogs began barking their heads off and running all over.
"You used the wrong word, Kate," Rick reminded her.
Kate pressed her face into his chest. She had used the word kitty where the dogs could hear her. "Yeah, my mistake. Where did they learn to hate C. A. T. S., anyway?" Kate had to spell the word. Thankfully they hadn't learned how to spell yet, but she was betting it was only a matter of time before they did. They were pretty damn smart for dogs
Rick shrugged. "I have no idea. Just how many are there running around downtown Manhattan anyway?"
"Dahlia! Lilly!" Alexis yelled from upstairs in her room. Hearing her had both of them charging up the stairs to see who could reach her first.
Rick was ready to kiss his soon-to-be wife. "Now, where were we?"
"The Hamptons," Kate told him. "I'm going to need a whole lot of 2 days off work at a time and without being on call. That's not going to be easy, Rick."
"We'll work it out. We Castles never give up," Rick told her as he nuzzled her neck.
"But I'm a Beckett," Kate countered.
"Only for another month, Miss Beckett. After that, you will be Mrs. Castle." Rick didn't wait for her to kiss him. He kissed her.
Kate returned his kiss and couldn't wait to be a married woman. They had everything all worked out save for one tiny little thing. They still had 350 books to sign.
