She thought about that kiss and relived that moment. She had been thinking so hard of a way to get pass this guard to save their friends that the last thing she expected was his lips capturing hers. There was so much passion in that few moments she was forced to breathe harder and harder. He literally stole her breathe away. If that was an idea of what it would be like to be with Richard Castle, she was looking forward to it.

Kate got up and went to the break room for some water from the vending machine. She had to cool down from her thoughts, as they were getting her worked up.

Kate's legs found their way back to her chair, but her mind was on the empty chair next to her desk. She also couldn't help but be annoyed at Castle for sneaking away, avoiding doing any of his share in paper work. She smiled to herself knowing that was his style.

He had told her that he was going to tell the girls at home about their trip. She was going to object to it, but she knew they would be fine with it, and probably help him plan a better trip than what he could plan on his own, even though doing over the top things was his M.O.

He thought the exact same thing, as they usually do. This was his chance to finally win her over, and be with her. He always had to claw his way through her rocky and abrasive exterior to find the precious gem he knew lay beneath. She has always fought him tooth and nail, but now it seems as though she is letting him in a little bit each day. She is different than all the women he had previously been with. She is amazing, strong, and smarter than anyone he has met. Yet at the same time he had seen her be tender, smooth, and loving. Not to mention she is the most beautiful thing his two eyes had ever have the pleasure of seeing. She turned his world upside down.

He has to have something grand planned. Something spectacular to show her how much she really meant to him. If he could, he would give her the world, the moon, and all the stars. To him, she deserves all that and more.

Walking through his front door, Martha is making dinner for everyone and Castle comes in with a wide grin on his face. "What's got you in such a good mood kiddo?"

"Oh nothing, just looking forward to a weekend in the Hamptons with Detective Beckett"

"You're kidding! That's fantastic"

Alexis chimes in coming to the kitchen from her bedroom upstairs, "you're going to the Hamptons with Detective Beckett?"

"Yes I am" he ignorantly states with a smile

"What do you have planned?"

"I'm not sure quite yet, but I think I have a little something planned."

"You have to have more than a little something planned. This is Detective Beckett. You have to do something big"

"She's right darling, you have to dazzle her" Martha chimes in, throwing her arms over her head

So much for getting ideas from the girls. "I'll think of something guys" he says as his phone starts ringing.

"Could that be the lady herself? Perhaps another lovely murder is what you need to come up with something"

"Actually no, I'm not sure who it is." He replies. "This is Castle" he answers as he walks away to his office.

Alexis looks inquisitively at Martha, hoping she knew who it was, but she shrug her shoulders and went on making dinner for everyone.

I promise that the next chapter will have more in it. Just trying to build anticipation and suspense. Hope everyone enjoyed it!
