Love

Chapter 7

Kate actually thought he looked pretty good in the clothes she'd bought for him. He was still handsome and now he looked casual. "Ready to go?" She took his hand which helped to ease her fears for this date. His touch was not just exciting but now it was soothing.

"Where are we going?" He really meant what were they going to be doing, since this was going to be his first ever date.

"You'll love it. I haven't been there for a few years." Kate wanted it to be a surprise for him.

.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.

She wasn't surprised that he didn't have a pass so she bought both of them a one day pass and took the D train to Coney Island. Rick spent the entire trip looking at everything. This trip was a first for him and he'd never seen anything like it in his life. Kate spent the her time watching him. He looked like he had never done this before. His face was really something to look at. It also told her something. It helped her generate a whole new list of questions for him.

"Coney Island! You'll love it. Maybe we can walk the beach later before we leave." She didn't know why she wanted to share this place with him, being here, walking the beach. All of this reminded her of just after her mother had been killed. Doing either of these things with him was special.

"Coney Island." Rick saw a lot of people and a lot of things he'd never seen before.

Since this was her date Kate didn't even think about asking him to pay for anything. And since this was her idea she chose something tame for their first ride.

However, getting there she saw Rick looking everywhere. At the rides, at the food and at the people. The look on his face was priceless. It also left her with a lot of questions.

"How about B&B Carousel first?" Kate got them into line and paid for their tickets.

Rick watched as she handed over pieces of paper and got coins he had never seen before in return. That and a colorful piece of paper. "What was that?"

"You have to pay to ride. You do know about money, right?" Kate was a little confused. How did he live without money? How could he not know about money?

"We use gold coins. I didn't bring any with me," Rick answered, watching where they were going. It looked simple enough. You rode fake horses, elephants, or other animals that were all attached to poles and went round and round and up and down.

"Gold? Real gold?" Kate couldn't think of any country that used real gold coins.

"Yes, using fake ones, while done, can be very dangerous." Especially if it involved his master. His master was evil in the extreme and enjoyed torturing anyone that crossed him or simply crossed his path.

Kate could understand that but it left her with still more questions.

.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.

"We've done something tame, so how about something more exciting?" Kate didn't wait for his response and took them to the Parachute Jump. "You're going to love this." She paid to get them a ticket and got in line. She was glad that they had reopened it. It had had several problems in its history. Guests could find themselves hanging in mid-air or tangled in cables. It had been closed down in 1964.

Rick watched as a worker strapped him into a harness and gave him instructions of what to do.

"Just relax, there's almost no wind so it'll be safe." She knew all of the ride's previous problems had been with the wind coming in off the coast. It caused the chutes to become tangled with the lines of other riders. She wasn't really sure how they solved that problem, she was just happy that it was open.

Rick screamed as he was suddenly dropping in free fall. Then without warning his chute opened and he drifted straight down thanks to the line he was attached to.

Kate screamed and found Rick standing there waiting for her with a big smile on his face. "Like it?" She really wanted him to have fun on this date. For reasons she couldn't explain it was very important to her that he enjoy their date.

Rick looked up. "It was nice. What's next?" He had seen a lot of things for them to do.

"Well since you liked that one, we can try the Cyclone next. It's kind of a landmark around here. Everyone has to have ridden it at least once."

She bought them tickets and got in line. She watched Rick while he watched each and every set of cars going round and round the ride. "What do you think?" Kate still only had eyes for him.

"You don't crash?" He wasn't sure how it didn't. He was happy that he was wearing his ring of regeneration. It meant any injuries from the crash would heal quickly.

She laughed. "No, it doesn't crash."

Kate had hoped for the front car, but they ended up in the next to last car. Still it meant that once they reached the top they wouldn't be held there and then fall.

"Raise your arms high," she told him as she raised her own arms high above her head. "Arms…up." They were about to go over the top. She smiled as Rick finally raised his arms high like hers.

They both screamed as the car dropped on the other side. And they screamed on the entire ride until the car slowed as it reached the station.

Rick was laughing and Kate smiled and laughed with him. "Again?" He'd enjoyed it a lot.

"Sure." She was more than willing and paid for them to ride it again. She got the same results the second time around.

"There are faster and more scary roller coasters, but this one is a classic." Kate had always liked this ride.

"There are faster ones?" Rick didn't see how. The car would surely crash if it did.

"We can try the new one. It's faster and more scary." Kate took him to the other roller coaster.

"The Thunderbolt." Kate pointed to it and had to hurry to catch up to Rick who took off walking.

Rick watched after she bought their tickets. This ride was different looking. The previous ride looked to be made of wood. This one had tubes everywhere. Plus instead of side by side in a car, they side three across in chairs.

Just like last time all there was was a bar in front of him to keep him in place.

"Raise your arms." Kate raised her arms high and watched Rick raise his.

The first thing was a 100 foot vertical drop. There was a zero-g roll and corkscrew turn along 2,233 feet of exhilarating terrain.

Rick had been sure they were all going die at the very first drop. Except for not wanting to give in to the fear, he was tempted to grab hold of the bar in front of him.

"Again?" he asked eagerly before they even stopped.

"Sure." Kate started laughing. Rick seemed to be having fun and despite herself and her need for answers, she was having fun, too.

"This ride is a lot less tame, but it's still fun." She took him to the bumper car ride next. There was also a large arcade area that they might return to later.

Rick didn't understand the controls at first. His watching the others before it was their turn helped some. He found himself being slammed into most of the time until he focused, hunting Kate down and slamming into her.

"Gotcha!" Rick was proud of himself. It had Kate laughing.

.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.

"You'll like this one. It's go karts." She bought them both tickets. "We can do the miniature golf next." It was right next door so they didn't have to walk far.

Rick watched the people in front go first. What he saw was this little thing that you sat on while wearing something on your head and going around on a track. "What's the point?" You just went around and around.

"You try and pass the person in front of you and win the race." Kate no longer questioned if he had never done this before. She was pretty sure now that he'd never done any of this before. It still left her with a lot of questions.

"OH!" Rick watched a little more closely. It was just that he didn't see anyone pass anyone.

Like the bumper car there was a pedal for his right foot and a wheel in front of him.

Rick turned too tight at the very first turn and hit the bumpers that lined the course. It allowed the person behind him to get past him. Now Kate was even farther out in front and that did not make him happy.

In the end he never passed anyone and never caught up to Kate.

"Lunch? Want to get something to eat?" Kate was working up a hunger. "Then miniature golf?"

.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.

Rick was looking at what Kate put in front of him after he found them a place to sit and waited for her.

"It's pizza and a soft drink," she told him when she saw the face he was making. "You don't like pizza?" She hadn't thought to ask him. It was just pepperoni and cheese.

Rick had never seen anything that even looked like it. "Let's find out." He picked it up, found it was still warm, and had the end fall down on him.

Kate laughed at him. "Like this." She folded her pizza and took a bite, watching Rick do what she did. "Like it?" He had taken a bite and was chewing. She watched him nod.

Rick thought it was time to ask. "What's your name?"

That had Kate almost choking on her soda as she sucked it though a straw. He didn't know her name? How could he not know her name? He had come to her.

"Kate… Katherine Beckett. Or Detective Beckett." She had an odd look on her face and tilted her head to enforce her bewilderment. "You didn't know my name?" She couldn't believe it.

"You summoned me. I didn't need to know your name." Rick shrugged. He thought it was simple. There was no way he could have known her name.

Kate sat there in silence while she finished her slice of pizza; she sucked on her cola until she got that gurgling sound that it was empty while she watched Rick eat and drink. He was a mystery and she had few answers.

.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.

"It's simple. The idea is to use your putter to hit the ball and get it to go into the \hole. The trick is to get it to avoid the obstacles between you and the hole," Kate explained as he held the putter with a look of being totally lost.

"Watch me." She went first so he could see what she did. Her ball just nipped the cup, went all the way to the back, and bounced off the back wall. That bounce actually almost got it to go into the hole anyway.

"Your turn." She stood back to watch.

Rick thought it looked simple enough. Don't hit the ball too hard, make it go straight, and swing straight. He hit the ball and watched it go straight into the hole.

"Beginners luck," Kate teased and watched him smile at her.

.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.

Kate shook her finger at him. "You've played this before. Don't lie." He hadn't just won the game he'd mopped the floor with her.

"I've never seen anything like it before," Rick answered honestly even if he was entirely capable of lying convincingly.

"Riiight!" She wasn't buying it but she let it slide; it was time for the next ride.

"Deno's Wonder Wheel," Kate said and bought them both tickets.

Rick watched as they waited in line. He saw people get inside a basket. The basket was attached to a wheel that went round and round. It was just that the basket fell to the middle or back out depending on where it was on the wheel. Once again he was wondering how the basket didn't come off and people fall to their death.

It was their turn and once again all there was was a bar to hold them in place. It was a little exciting, though, as their basket kept moving like it was going to come off the wheel and kill both of them, only to suddenly stop.

.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.

Kate was walking with him wondering what to ride next. "Thunder?" he asked hopefully. He had liked that ride.

She laughingly said, "I've created a monster."

Rick corrected her. "I'm a demon, not a monster," he said while he kept walking. Stunned, Kate had stopped in her tracks.

"A what?" she questioned softly. She jogged to catch up to him. It also had her looking him over again with this bit of information.

He looked normal to her. But if she added the word demon to his massive cock and his ability to addict her to it… Did that tell her something? What it did tell her was she needed to go to the library or find someone that knew more about demons.

Was it even possible? He'd said that she had summoned him. It had her remembering the book she had read lately about demons being summoned to Earth and making life miserable for humans.

Was he here to make her life miserable if in fact he was a demon, provided that they actually existed. It was just that her sex life was the best it had ever been because of him. Plus she was learning during this date to really like him.

She was enjoying showing him things he had never done before. It did help solidify what he had said, though. What would a demon know about Coney Island?

.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.

Dinner, such as it was, turned out to be a hot dog and French fries. Kate had watched him look at it like he'd never seen anything like it before. He had even nibbled on it at first. He'd even stared at her as she put mustard and ketchup on hers.

Now that the sun was going down they found a spot on the beach for them to sit and wait. It was Friday and there was going to be fireworks. They'd taken off their shoes and Kate had laughed while watching Rick squish sand between his toes. It was like watching a little kid who had seen sand for the first time.

Kate was presently leaning up against Rick and loving the feeling of having him there. So much so that her hand was wandering up his thigh of its own volition. Rick's stopping it was what got her attention.

"Sorry." She blushed and withdrew her hand, learning all over again just how addicted to his cock she truly was. She almost caused him to have an erection and that would have been embarrassing. Worse might have been her reaction to seeing it. They might have given everyone a show.

Moments later Kate snatched her hand away again. She needed the fireworks to hurry up so she could rush them home so he could fuck her brains out.

She knew she was addicted but today had been fun if not a little expensive for her. Plus she had new information that she could do research on for more answers.

.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.

Kate looked down at Rick and saw the look of awe on his face with each boom of a burst of sparkling colored lights in mid-air. She had always loved fireworks, however, watching Rick watch them gave her a new thrill. It was like when she was a little girl and had seen them for the first time.

She had given him that and it made her happy to do it.

.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.

Kate was clinging to Rick on the train ride back home. It was late and she was barely holding it together. She needed him to fuck her and she needed it now.

The second the door closed behind her she was all over him. "Castle… I need you and I need you now." She stopped trying to get his clothes off and pulled her top over her head, reaching behind her to unhook her bra. She hummed when his hands left his clothes and were on her breasts. She moaned when he bent down to lick and nibble on her nipple.

"Too many clothes, Castle." Kate didn't want him to stop but she needed his cock. The second she pulled his pants and boxers down, his cock sprang to life; she was stroking it and licking it from base to tip. Moments later she plunged it down her throat. She wanted to taste his come again.

They never made it to the bedroom. Rick took her right there on the floor. "YES! Fuck me, fuck me hard. …Faster, harder." Her pussy needed a pounding.

.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.=.o[X]o.=.x{O}x.

Kate had screamed through her fourth orgasm and had lain down next to him. She was sated and happy. He was the best lover she had ever had. She felt him start to get up. "NO, stay…please." She wanted to wake up in the morning with him next to her. It was the first time she had ever wanted a lover to stay and hold her all night long.

Rick debated it for a moment. Staying with her was something he wanted to do. But he also needed to get back to his ship. It was getting closer to being done and losing it now would kill him.

"Fine…but on your bed." He got up this time. She didn't protest as she wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her head into his shoulder. Kate realized that she liked the smell of him as well. At the moment she didn't care if she was addicted to him.

Rick soon found that cuddling with Kate with both of them naked was something he could learn to like…a lot.

He was sure Kate was asleep. His mind was on what he was going to do when he decided that she was ready for his master. Handing her over to him suddenly sounded like the worst thing he could possibly do. But if his master found out, he would make sure he suffered until time itself ended; his master was entirely capable of doing just that. Did he have a choice, though?
