They spend the rest of the night wrapped in each others arms. Their naked bodies fitting with each other like puzzle pieces.
In the morning Castle slowly slips into consciousness hearing Kate softly speaking his name, feeling her fingers dancing lightly across his chest.
"Wake up sleepy head" she says moving in closer to place a kiss to his sleepy lips.
"Are you real?" he asks lazily, eyes still shut.
"Yes Rick I'm real, now wake up. I made you coffee." She runs her fingers through his hair in attempts to stir him.
He opens his eyes to see Kate's lovely face smiling at him. The early morning sun illuminating her face beautifully.
"Morning beautiful" That makes her blush.
"Morning handsome"
"Did last night really happen?"
"Well i am naked in your bed with you, so yeah it did. Why?"
"I just can't believe it. I've wanted this for so long and..." He can't help but smile. "..I've waited so long and now you're here, and your right.. I had no idea.."
"So you liked it?"
"Oh yeah"
"Even the part where i..."
"Yeah, especially that part."
"Good."
Her soft laugh makes his insides flutter with love. All the pain and sadness of yesterday all but a harsh distant memory.
"You weren't so bad yourself Castle" she say with a sexy grin, remembering exactly how amazing last night was.
"You are too sexy" He says as he leans in to place a long languid kiss to her precious lips.
How did we last four years without doing this?
"So Kate when do you have to go to the precinct today?" He asks sitting up, reaching for his coffee, and looking at his clock.
"I'm not going in today" She says sitting on the side of the bed, putting on Rick's button up.
"Really? Why not?" Kate gets up and goes to his side of the bed and stands between his legs. He brings his hands up to rest on her hips, bringing her closer to him.
"I called Gates before you woke up and told her i wasn't feeling well, so she gave me the day off. Now I can spend the day with you." She finishes with a soft, quick kiss.
"Katherine Beckett! Lied to her boss?What a bad girl" He say with a grin.
"Hey I can be a very, very bad girl Castle" She bites her lip, turns and walks out of his bedroom with an extra sway in her hips. Just to tease him the way she know it does.
You are gonna be the death of me Katherine Beckett. He slips on a pair of boxer shorts and heads to the kitchen.
Seeing her in the shirt she ripped off him just mere hours ago makes him think..
You won't be needing a shirt, at all today..
