Beckett was stood at her desk, she didn't know how it had happened but Castle had somehow cornered her there his hands were on the desk and his face was mere millimetres from hers. Her heart was racing at the thought that Castle was going to kiss her but he wouldn't would he? I mean they were at work. Or was she? She looked around, it was late so it wasn't a surprise that the precinct was empty. But what was Castle doing here?
"Erm…Castle."
Castle looked at her and there was something in his eyes. He smiled. "Yes Kate?" There he goes again calling her Kate why does he keep doing that?
"Could you get back a little?" She took a breath and she could smell him, she couldn't describe what it was it was simply Castle.
"Now why would I do that?" He slowly reached to her ear and grazed it with his lips. She had to keep her eyes from closing, and a groan from escaping her mouth.
"Because it's what I want you to do." She bit her lip and his mouth made it's way to her neck he kissed the spot just below her ear. That did it she groaned and closed her eyes to enjoy the feeling of being in his arms. Well he wasn't touching her since his hands were still firmly on her desk.
"You don't want me to do that Kate." He slowly placed his hands on her waist and pulled her to him.
"Kate have I ever told you that you are so beautiful." He continued to kiss his way down slowly making his way to her mouth.
"No Castle I don't think you have." She raked her hand through his hair and then he stopped. She looked at him and they were touching nose to nose. This is it she thought, he's going to kiss me. She felt her heart racing and prepared herself for what was about to come. She closed her eyes….
Beep! Beep! Beep! Her alarm was going off and she groaned. "Always when it gets to the good part." She groaned and hit the top of the clock. She turned around and yet awoke woke to an empty bed, with a sigh she got up and wrapped a robe around herself as she made her way to take a shower.
Meanwhile…
Across town Castle was having a vivid dream, one that he had had many times before and one that he couldn't get enough of. Kate was doing things to him, the part that got him the most confused was that he was always the one unclothed and she would have her normal work clothes on. But just as he was about to take her clothes off he would wake up. No matter how many times he would try and get back to sleep to relive that fantasy it wouldn't work.
He would dream about Alexis bringing someone over, his mother moving in with Chet and not visiting him a few times a week, or the nights of fun he would have with Kate and Alexis but never could he get back to that dream. It had been happening once a week for well he couldn't remember, and he was starting to enjoy it. The time he went to the Hampton's however he couldn't get Beckett out of his head and he dreamt about her every night. In the morning he would wake up and write about Nikki Heat. That at least filled some of the void that he had in his heart, writing about the cases and the evenings that Rook and Heat would share. He would always go back to the cases and the many times him and Kate had shared.
As he was thinking about all of this his alarm clock was going off and he got up to get a shower before making breakfast for him and Alexis. Today it was pancakes and they were his favourite.
He sent Beckett a text as he sat eating breakfast with Alexis that morning.
Hey is it more paperwork today?
He took a bite from his pancakes and smiled to himself.
"What's got you so happy?" Alexis grinned.
"Oh nothing. I'm just happy you're my daughter."
She laughed to herself. "Yeah okay dad I'll believe you for now."
His phone started to sing and vibrate. He read his text that he had received from Beckett.
Yes, why?
He sent her a quick reply.
Going to be in at dinner to drag you for lunch then. See you soon Rick.
He wondered where he would go shopping for her dress.
"You look deep in thought dad. Anything I can help with?"
"Oh just wondering where I can get a dress from."
"Why you thinking of going as your own date to the premiere. Or are you cross dressing now?"
"No it's for Beckett."
Alexis looked at him. "Why do you keep buying dresses for her?"
"Because I want her to look nice. Not that she already doesn't. But I like to get her thing."
"Awww how sweet."
"Yes okay then. Now off to school wouldn't want you to be late."
She chuckled to herself and gave Castle a quick kiss on the cheek before heading off to school.
"Bye dad hope you find a dress." She shut the door and Castle cleared up. Looking at his watch he decided that Beckett wouldn't be in the precinct for another half hour so he decided he had enough time to make a stop before beginning his search for the perfect dress.
Kate arrived at the precinct that morning and made her way over to her desk. Ryan and Esposito were grinning at her and wondered why. She sat down and that's when she noticed the cup sitting on her desk with a note placed under it.
Just because I'm not coming in this morning doesn't mean you don't get your coffee. See you at 1 for lunch. Be ready Rick.
She looked at it and then to Ryan and Esposito. "Did you see Castle come in?"
"Yeah of course we did." They grinned. "He left what 10 minutes ago Ryan?"
"Yeah about that." Ryan nodded in agreement. "Hey Beckett me and Esposito over here were just wondering something."
Beckett looked at them, she took a sip of her coffee and smiled to herself. "As long as it isn't some weird sexual question. Go ahead."
"Well we were wondering why Castle always buys you a coffee but never anyone else."
"Well I don't know you'd have to ask Castle that one."
"We were thinking it's because we don't have anything to offer him." Esposito said.
"What." Beckett nearly choked while drinking her coffee.
"Yeah you know, we thought that it was like some sort of mating ritual between the 2 of you." Ryan chuckled.
"I can assure you its not."
Ryan and Esposito looked at each other and then back at Beckett. "Well Esposito was thinking if he got a sex change then maybe he would get coffee to."
Beckett laughed at them. "I don't think that would work."
Esposito looked at Ryan. "Wait why am I the one that has to have the sex change?"
"Because I'm the one that's in a relationship and you are having trouble getting one person's attention in a nightclub."
"But this isn't fair. We are only role playing so you could get it."
"Hey Esposito. We are supposed to be making Beckett uncomfortable not arguing over who gets a fake sex change operation."
"Fine, but next time you're the one that gets it."
Ryan then turned to look at Beckett. "So anyway Beckett, where is your beloved Castle today?"
Beckett looked at them. "First of all he isn't my beloved, and second I have no idea."
"I refuse to believe that you have always got tabs on where he is. What happen he find where you put the tracing chip?"
"He didn't tell me where he was going just said he'd be in later than usual." She shrugged. "And why on earth would I have a tracing chip on Castle?"
"Well true you wouldn't need one seeing as you always know where he is."
Beckett sighed. "Hey Ryan."
"Yes Beckett."
"Do your work."
Ryan shook his head chuckling. "Anything you want Beckett."
"Does that mean I have to as well?" Esposito asked. Since he didn't get a reply he moved over to his desk and started to do his paperwork.
