Hi, guys. I am SO sorry it's taken me so long to update this, and all my other stories. I've been so busy this summer and to be completely honest I've had absolutely no inspiration. Please forgive me. And to the people who have sent me prompts, I have not forgotten about you! I just wanted to give you guys an update and I had already started this prompt fill from castlefanficprompts.
Prompt: "Tell me to go and I will, but if you ask me to stay I'll never leave you again." (Set during 3x01).
The knock on her door was not only unexpected, but also unappreciated after a long day of work. It was 11 o'clock, for heaven sakes. All she wanted to do was take a long, hot bath and then crawl into bed. She moved towards the knocking, cursing whoever was on the other side. When she glanced through the peephole she couldn't help but groan, raking a hand through her hair.
Castle. Of course.
"What the hell are you doing here, Castle?" She demanded when she opened the door, crossing her arms over her chest, but making no move to let him inside.
"I, um, I wanted to talk." He sounds nervous when she looks up to shoot a glare at him.
"There's nothing to talk about."
"Can I come in?" He asks, pleading with her and damn him. Damn him and his puppy dog eyes.
Grudgingly, she opens the door wider, letting him in before closing it sharply and spinning around to face him.
"What did I do?" He asks when she looks at him expectantly.
"Nothing. Why don't you just go back to your Hamptons life and Gina." His ex wife's name tasted bitter on her tongue.
"Is that what this is about?" He asks, finally seeming to put the pieces together. "Because you had Demming, so what was I supposed to do? Sit around and watch you two fall in love?"
"Castle..." She says his name as a warning. "You're the one that left."
"Yes, you're right. But," He holds his hands up in surrender, taking an experimental step towards her, then another when she doesn't back away. "Tell me to go and I will, but if you ask me to stay I'll never leave you again."
By the time he was finished speaking they were nose to nose, and all he had to do was tilt his head down to capture her lips. He halfway expected her to push him away, but she just sunk deeper into his embrace, moving her arms to wrap around his neck. Her tongue swiped across his bottom lip, begging for entrance that he granted without a second thought.
She moaned against his mouth, undulating her hips against his. She only pulled away for a chance to breathe.
"I wanted to take you up on your offer," At his puzzled look she continued, "I broke up with Demming and I was going to tell you I wanted to go to the Hamptons with you, maybe give us a shot at a real relationship. That's why I pulled you out of the party."
He just stares at her, shocked.
"And then you left with your ex wife." She scowls, filling in the blanks for him.
"Oh, Kate. I feel like such an idiot." Her expression turns soft at his words.
"Yeah, well, you kind of are." She laughs, leaning up on her toes to smudge her mouth to his once more.
"A forgiven idiot?" He asks, turning pleading eyes on her.
"Hmm, not quite yet, but I do know how you can make it up to me..." She trails off, her gaze dropping to his lips.
"Oh?" He feigns confusion.
"Yeah, and it starts a little like this." She says before her mouth is on his again, her tongue automatically sliding into his mouth.
Sorry it's kind of short. Would love your thoughts, or any prompt ideas you have! :)
