December 29th Richard Castle and Kate arrived at the Blue Star Jets Charter Service for check in, and Kate just smirked at him the expression on her face said here we go again. "Now Kate" said Rick "There are security concerns to consider"

"Right... security concerns" Kate said sarcastically.

"Kate" said Rick "I am on on an anti terrorism task force... besides I have done business with Bluestar since before I met you... for other reasons"

"The playboy lifestyle...?" Kate asked.

"When I met you that no longer mattered as much" Rick said "But yes... they are desecrate"

"And Him" Kate said pointing to the burly looking man in a dress suit.

Rick stated, "It was the only way the Deputy Commissioner would let me go... his name is Simon"

"If it's my qualifications your concerned with you needn't be... my last posting before I left the teams was "DEVGRU"" Said Simon.

"So you were-!"

"Yes Mam..."

"Yes sir" Simon replied "Sir please don't say that aloud"

Simon stated, "We will be landing in Innsbruck... then taking a helicopter from there to Campitello di Fassa" Kate couldn't help but notice the silhouette of a side arm and Simon noticed that she was looking telling Kate "HK45" Taking a few more steps and putting his hand to his ear Simon stated "Plane is ready... right this way"

"Mr. Castle" Simon Said, "everything is as you requested"

Kate looked at Rick with a raised eyebrow "What did you ask for"

"Not much" Rick told her "A bed to sleep in... it's a five hour flight Kate"

The Bombardier BD-700 Global Express had been in the air for four hours Rick and Kate were in the fold out bed in the back of the plane. Simon the head of the security team buzzed though on the intercom "Mr. Castle we just got conformation the Agusta 109C Helocopter is on site and waiting"

"Thank you Simon" Rick said with a nod.

Drowsily Kate woke up asking "Rick"

Kissing his wife, He told Kate "Just letting me know they are ready for transfer for the next leg!" Kate lay her head back down Rick's chest she drifted back to sleep.

Thirty minutes later Kate woke up; looking into her husband's eyes, she asked, "Mr. Castle... did we...?"

Letting his fingers glide up and down her naked thigh Rick said in a soft tone of voice, "Join the mile high club... Yes, we did Mrs. Castle." Still after 23 years of marriage he still sent shivers up and down her spine with his touch. As they started to gear up for round, two the pilot's voice came over the planes intercom system "touch down in Innsbruck in 30 minutes.

"Kate..." said Rick "You are more sexy now then the day I met you... how do you do it"

Hastaly slipping on her jeans sans pantys Kate replied with a wink, "A girl has to have some secrets from her husband"

A short one hour thirty minute helicopter ride later they were touching down at the Chalet de Castle in Campitello di Fassa Italy.
