Thanks for the response to the first chapter to this one. Here's the second chapter. I decided to do a setup for the penultimate scene, and this is it. I hope you enjoy it. There will be one more chapter, and it will be the one you're all waiting for. It should be posted tomorrow. Gregg.

Castle had a hard time concentrating on anything having to do with the Precinct during the next couple of hours. During that time he watched as Beckett took the lead, had several people arrested for various reasons, and gave Esposito and Ryan all kinds of Hell. That last he wasn't too disappointed over as they had been ogling a bit when they came up to her. All he knew, though, was that those two looked like they wanted to sink into the floor at the Precinct when Lanie and Jenny walked in to collect their men. Obviously Kate had given the two ladies a heads up. The immediate crossing of legs by the two guys upon seeing the ladies proved that one.
Castle, though? He was letting his mind wander to the display of flesh that had been before him when he saw Beckett at the club. Now that was a first class show! His fantasies, augmented by the all too brief full frontal when her apartment blew up, did not do the real woman any justice at all. From head to toe it was all first rate. And those breasts! Perky, just the right size with hard nipples just standing to attention begging for some serious CASTLE ATTENTION! The big question on his mind, though, was whether or not she would follow through with her seeming promise at the club.
You'll be seeingthem, and a whole lotmore, real soon.
That whole lot more had only been hidden by a skimpy g-string earlier, so his vivid imagination was going into overdrive as he painted some mental pictures of some, ahem, adult activities. Now he only hoped that somehow he hadn't stepped in it big time like Esposito and Ryan had. If so, he was going to find Mike and give him a real world of hurt.
"Okay, Castle," Beckett said in a hurry as she grabbed her coat and purse. "Let's go."
"Yes, Ma'am," he said, a knowing smirk on his face.
"Not here, Kitten," she said as she whirled to face him, a look of death on her face. "Unless Kitten wants to face the punishments awaiting Esposito and Ryan since Kitten was in such a club to begin with."
"No problem," Castle assured her as they entered the elevator.
The drive to her apartment was long and silent. Castle didn't dare say a word as he didn't want to break the mood. Beckett was silent as she was mentally planning her night with Castle. Something about this whole episode had gotten her over her internal qualms about a relationship with him, and caused the deep, thrumming arousal that was coursing through her. The elevator ride up was equally silent, and Castle had to fight the urge to grab Beckett and take her against the elevator wall.
When she opened the door to her apartment, Beckett whirled, grabbed him, and kissed him hard letting her tongue explore his rich tasting mouth. His scent and taste were intoxicating as she memorized all she was experiencing. Letting him go, reluctantly, she moved him to a seat on the couch.
"Stay there while I shower and clean up," she ordered and then left the room.
Castle sat there watching her retreating figure, wanting nothing more than to go after her and practice a little water conservation, but he wanted to live to enjoy the night, and he figured if he assumed too much he would wind up with no more Mr. Happy. The only problem was that his mind could only function on one level and that one level was focused on the kiss. Oh, what a kiss! Passionate, dueling, and miraculous! He whipped out his iPhone and sent a quick text message to Alexis letting her know he would not be home that night. That was one less worry, and would prevent any sudden interrupting calls from his overly concerned daughter. He wasn't sure how long he sat there pondering the wonderful universe that was Kate Beckett, but he almost fell off the couch when she came back into the room.
"Want a beer, Kitten?" Beckett purred as she walked by completely naked, the only thing adorning her body was a pair of black high heels. She'd decided to give him a jolt and let him know for sure where her thoughts were going for the night.
Castle's jaw was hanging on the floor, his fist pressed into his upper teeth. His eyes had to be bulging out at the spectacular sight before him. Beckett! Naked! Nude! Not a stitch! He felt like pinching himself to see if this was only another one of his nightly fantasies, but he exercised a slight bit of restraint on that score.
"Uh...uh...uh...," he barely managed to stammer.
Kate smirked as she turned with two beers and walked towards him, giving him the full frontal he'd seen only a glimpse of some time back when her apartment blew up. His eyes bugged out even further, if that was possible. His fist in his mouth was also pretty amusing, reminding her of the time at his Halloween party when she'd pretended to flash him. At least this time there was no trickery involved.
"Breathe, Castle," she ordered as she noticed he'd been holding his breath. Her eyes raked over his clothed body and she licked her lips are the straining erection tenting his pants out very nicely. "You're not a horny teenager, you know," she teased, giving him a wink as she sat down across from him.
"You're naked," he replied dumbly. His mind was officially mush at that moment as his eyes kept on raking over her stunning figure.
"You're so observant, Castle," she chuckled. She was enjoying how flustered he was. He'd been a bit flustered at the club, but not this bad. At least there he'd been able to crack a joke and respond with appropriate action to his friend's crude remark.
"No, you're really naked," he stammered. His moth was dry and he took a deep drink of his beer, his eyes never wandering from her body. Mr. Happy was extremely happy right then, but was on the verge of needing some breathing room. As it was he squirmed in his seat a bit uncomfortably.
"I told you you would be seeing a lot more of me really soon," she reminded him. She smiled at the glazed look that came over his eyes when she said that. Castle was so easy! At least easy for her, she reminded herself. He'd been very well behaved in the social department for some time, and she knew it was because he had been waiting for her to get her act in gear and give him a shot.
"Well, this is definitely more," Castle agreed in a lower tone of voice. Now wasn't that the understatement of the millennium? He could make out the neatly trimmed pubic triangle that was peaking through her crossed legs, and it was enticing him further and further into her seduction. He prayed for no interruptions!
"So, Kitten," Beckett said as she took a sip of her beer. "What should I do with you? You were a naughty little boy going into such a place tonight, but you did defend my honor, so I guess a combination of punishment and reward is in order. Any thoughts?" she asked with a raised brow as she uncrossed and recrossed her legs the opposite way giving him an enticing view of her glistening folds, letting him know that she only kept a neatly trimmed pubic triangle above her labia. She loved the excited little gasp and girly squeak that emerged from his lips.
"Just remember my safe word is apples," he reminded her, emphasizing the word. The very word punishment coming from Kate Beckett sent up red flags all over his lascivious mind.
"And if I decide to ball gag you?" she teased to see his reaction.
"APPLES!" he said instantly, and the tone of voice left no doubt he was not kidding. No ball gags used on Richard Castle! Richard Castle may be adventurous with sex, but not that adventurous!
"Well, when you finish your beer we should take this to the bedroom and see what we can do about our dilemma then," she told him. She almost laughed out loud when he guzzled the whole beer in nothing flat and slammed down the bottle. "You're the eager beaver tonight, huh," she purred.
"You have no idea," he muttered as he followed her down the hall to her bedroom. He was jauntily mouthing Merry Christmas to Me over and over again as he ogled her bare behind.
A/N: I felt that Castle and Beckett deserved a sex scene that was a chapter all in itself, hence the one chapter setup. It makes this story, when completed tomorrow, three chapters instead of two, so I hope you all don't mind. I hope you enjoyed this one. Gregg.
