Beckett woke to a soft snoring sound. She could feel Castle's strong arms wrapped gently around her waist. Looking up, revealed Castle's mouth hanging open and the sound that woke her coming from him. She chuckled quietly to herself and slipped out of his embrace. The cool air of the early morning greeted her bare flesh, creating goose bumps. She tiptoed to the adjoining bathroom and marveled at the size of it. It was at least the size of the living room at her apartment. She closed the door behind herself and headed to the shower.

Castle woke to the sound of water and sat upright in bed. It took him a moment to realize the spot where Beckett had been was now empty. He looked to the bathroom and could see steam coming from beneath the door. Smiling to himself he rolled out of bed and headed into the bathroom. He found Beckett just about to step into the shower. He quietly followed her in and wrapped his arms around her, causing her to jump. "Jesus Castle!" She cursed, lightly punching him in the arm. He chuckled and grabbed the bar of soap, beginning to lather her up. She closed her eyes and sighed at the feel of his hands on her skin. She couldn't repress a gasp as he rubbed soap into her breasts, kneading gently. She bit her lip and reached her hand out to cup him with her hand. The soap slipped from his hands as he groaned. "Don't you know the phrase, 'don't drop the soap' Castle?" She asked, stroking him slowly.

"Y..ye….yes." He barely got out, his hand moving to the tiled wall to support himself. She smirked and ran her hands down to his balls, running her nails over them lightly. "Please Kate." He pleaded as she slid to her knees before him. The water pelted her back, but she could barely feel it in her sexually aroused state. She kissed the engorged head before letting him slide between her lips. "Ohhhhhh god." He moaned and she could tell he was having trouble keeping himself upright. She continued her assault, bringing him to the edge. His hips began to buck involuntarily and she knew he was about to cum. With an evil smirk on her face, she let go of him and stood up. The look on his face was one of absolute surprise and shock. His mouth hung open, his eyes wondering why in the hell she had stopped. She couldn't contain the giggle that escaped her lips. "You asked for it detective." He growled and quickly spun her around, bending her over in the same process. He slammed into her without warning, making her cry out in ecstasy. He gave her no time to breath, grabbing her hips and slamming into her over and over again. She could swear a couple of times her feet left the floor as he thrust into her. Their groans and cries were drowned out by the sounds of the water, but neither really cared at the moment. He came forcefully and so did she, both of them crying out the others name.

Beckett was in the process of looking for her clothes when Castle pointed out that it only three am. She sighed and crawled back under the covers, snuggling back into his warm embrace.


Castle awoke once more to an empty bed. He sighed and pulled on some boxers, figuring she had gotten dressed and was in the kitchen. Upon entering the living room, he found that her clothes were gone only leaving what was left of their love making last night. He smiled at the memory. It was when he glanced at the kitchen that he realized it was empty. He jumped, hearing voices floating down from the stairs. He began to fear that Beckett had left because she was upset. She would've said goodbye if everything was ok right? Not wanting Alexis or his mother to see the strewn about clothes and handcuffs, he snatched them up and made a mad dash back to his room. He dressed in a hurry, pulling on a black button up shirt and a pair of khakis. He stuffed the cuffs in his pocket and ran back out into the living room. Alexis was in the kitchen making herself some breakfast. Seeing her father in a confused state made Alexis wonder what exactly had happened last night. Thanks to nearly soundproof walls, she had only heard some muffled sounds and had figured they were the t.v. or something. She shrugged and smiled at her father. "Coffee dad?"

He tried his best to look calm for Alexis, but he could tell she wasn't buying it. "Sorry pumpkin, gotta run to the office. Love ya." He replied quickly, pecking her on the cheek and disappearing out the front door.

Castle arrived at the precinct in record time. He crashed through the main doors and came to a skidding halt inside the bull pen. Ryan and Esposito gave him a curious look. "You ok bro?" Esposito inquired. Castle nodded, trying to catch his breath.

"You seen Beckett?" He breathed. Ryan chuckled and shook his head, saying she had yet to show up.

"Castle, why are you out of breath?" Came Lanie's reply. He looked to her and she took in his slightly disheveled look. She raised a brow and was about to ask another question when she spotted light pink ring marks around his wrists. She set her files down and took his wrists in her hands. Castle cursed himself. In his haste he had forgotten to button the cuffs of his shirt. "What happened to you last night?"

Castle tried not to blush. "N…nothing." He tried to make his smile convincing, but Lanie wasn't buying it.

"Uh huh, well somebody had you restrained. It was either rope or…." She began, but was cut off by Ryan. He noticed a glint of silver coming from the pocket of Castle's pocket. He grabbed a pen and pulled it out, letting them dangle from his finger.

"Or hand cuffs." Ryan and Esposito shared a chuckle.

Lanie looked back to him, wide eyed. "Castle, who did this to you?" He looked at her, pleading her not to ask any more questions. It was in his pleading eyes that Lanie figured it out. "Beckett." She whispered in amused shock. Ryan and Esposito nearly gave themselves whiplash as they turned to look at Castle. Castle's mouth hung open in a wordless response. It was then that Beckett arrived.

"What about me Lanie?" She chuckled, but when she got no response, she took in the scene before her. Lanie holding Castle's wrists in her hands, the fading pink lines from the cuffs visible. Castle, his eyes apologizing completely, Ryan and Esposito with shit eating grins on their faces. Lanie's un nerving smirk on her face. Before she could say anything more, Lanie let go of Castle and dragged her into the break room.

"You've got five seconds to explain to me why Castle has your handcuffs in his pocket and handcuff marks on his wrists." Beckett tried to play it cool.

"Who says those are my cuffs Lanie?" She waved her hand at her friend to shoo her off. She turned to the espresso machine, beginning to make herself a cup. Lanie pulled her back around, glaring.

"I'm so gonna slap you girl. Now SPILL!"

Beckett bit her lip. How to tell her best friend that she'd FINALLY slept with Writer Boy. How absolutely amazing the sex had been. How many times they'd done it. She could feel her cheeks warming at the thought. "Well……"

Lanie looked at her best friend, then out the break room window to Castle, who was staring back. She could see the longing look in his eyes and she pieced it together. "I knew you two would finally get together."

"Yea, yea….." Beckett replied sarcastically.

"Now girl, about those handcuffs?" Beckett bit her lip and leaned over to her friends ear and whispered her secret. The loud gasp and giggle from Lanie echoed throughout the whole squad room.
