Beckett woke the next morning the sun hadn't come up yet she glanced at the clock next to Castle's bed 6:00. This was normal for her she was always up before her alarm and usually lay there waiting for it to go off. She felt Castle shift next to her and she turned to look at him, she looked at him he was smiling but asleep she reached up and trailer her fingers over his lips thinking of how good it was to kiss him.

"Well good morning." He whispered to her.

She smiled. "Morning."

He stroked his hand through her hair and reached down, giving her a light kiss. "That's not a good morning kiss." She chuckled.

"Oh really, care to show me what is." He smirked.

She reached up and her lips met his, she traced her tongue on his bottom lip and he granted access to her unwillingly. His tongue battled with her and his hands moved from her hair to her waist. He flipped them so that she was under him and her hands moved to his neck bringing him closer. They broke apart and stared at each other.

"Well I guess I could wake up to that each morning." Castle grinned.

"Oh I bet you could." She grinned.

She reached to sit up and he pulled her back down. "Where are you going?"

"I've got to go to my apartment and get ready for work."

He wrapped his arm around her waist and bought her back to his chest. He kissed her softly below her ear and she moved her head. "You have some time so spare before you have to go. I was going to make you breakfast too." He said trying to convince her to stay.

"As nice as that sounds I can't stay. What if Alexis and Martha catches us."

"Hey I don't mind, besides I think they've already figured something out."

"How about breakfast tomorrow morning?" She asked as a compromise.

"Who says you'll be staying over tonight?"

"Me, unless you have any objections."

"Oh no I don't have any objections." He grinned.

Leaning down he gave her another kiss. "Well I guess I had better let you go."

She sat up and took the covers from around her, she shivered as the cold air hit her. "So you coming into the precinct today?"

"No I think I'll get some writing done, Gina's getting on at me already and my first draft isn't meant to be in for another 3 weeks."

"Well she knows that if she waits to long you won't get anything done."

"Oh but I think I'll be able to write a lot more now I've got you."

"Hey remember my warning, if I read anything, and I mean anything I will kill you without a second thought."

"Oh come on Beckett you wouldn't do that."

"Would you like to test me on that theory."

"Oh I think I would."

She leaned over him. "Remember I have a gun."

"Do you know how turned on I get when you talk to me like that."

"I have some idea." She gave him another quick kiss on the lips before heading for the door. "See you tonight Castle. I'll be round around 6."

"Wish it was 6 already."

She smiled and headed out of the room and down his stairs.

Rick headed downstairs about half an hour later and started to make breakfast for Alexis and himself. He was thinking of eggs and bacon, he walked to the fridge and took out the bacon turning on the cooker hob he put it in the frying pan. He then took a bowl and cracked a few eggs before mixing them together and putting them in another frying pan before cooking, and scrambling them. Alexis walked down just as he had finished putting them on the plate. The toast had just popped up from out of the toaster and he put it on her plate.

"Good morning dad."

"Good morning pumpkin." He smiled to her.

"Sleep well?"

"As I always do."

She picked up her fork and started to eat her eggs. "So what's your plan for the day?"

"Oh I'm just going to do some writing."

"Not going into the precinct?"

"No. Gina has already started getting on at me so I'm going to get a few chapters wrote today so I'm going to get a head start."

"So what's happening in the next book? Are Rook and Nikki together yet?"

"Now if I told you that then I would have to kill you."

"You wouldn't do that, then who would take care of you?"

"I'm sure I could find a few people."

"Like Detective Beckett." She said winking at him.

"Well I'm sure I'd be able to persuade her." Castle then began deep thinking.

"Hey dad." Alexis waved her hand in front of his face. "You want to come back to the real world?"

"No not really." He laughed.

"Well fair enough I'll just head off to school then." She said standing up and rinsing her plate before putting it in the dishwasher. "Have fun day dreaming." She said before she kissed him on the cheek.

"Oh before I forget what do you want for dinner tonight?"

"Erm…I'm good for whatever you pick."

"Okay then see you tonight."

Rick finished up his breakfast before retreating to his office, he turned on his computer and opened up the word document for his latest Nikki Heat novel. His fingers started to type fast over the keyboard before he knew it his mother was standing at the door.

He stopped and looked up. "Hello mother."

"Hello Richard darling, not at the precinct today?"

"No I thought I'd get a head start on my next book, Gina is already bugging me."

"Well she's a smart woman. If she didn't she'd never get a book out of you."

"Why does everyone say that?"

"Because it's true." Martha smiled from the doorway.

"Oh are you in for dinner tonight?"

"No I'm stopping over with Chet."

"Okay then. When are you moving in with him fully mother, not that I don't enjoy your company."

"Well why don't you just pack my bags for me now kiddo."

He laughed. "You know I'd never do that." He smiled at her. "Alexis is much better at getting your clothes in a suitcase than I am."

She lightly laughed at him. "Yeah okay then. Well I'll let you get on with your writing, would you like a drink or anything?" She asked before walking away.

"No I'm fine thank you."

He continued to move his fingers over the keyboard, he hadn't been excited about writing the series since well he couldn't remember. The words just came to him, unlike when writing Derrick Storm when he's sit for hours on end wondering how to start off the next scene. He had managed to write a few chapters and saving them he put the computer on his desk. He was getting hungry now and decided to take a break. He got his phone out and sent a text.

You busy or can I steal you for lunch?

He was just walking out of his office when the reply came through.

No it's dead here, feel free to come steal me.

He grabbed his keys from the bowl near his door and headed out smiling to himself.

A/N: I shall have another chapter up soon meanwhile hope you enjoy this chapter
