After enjoying her wine, reading a bit of her book which was Castles no surprise there, and relaxing a bit she decided it was time to go check and see what Castle was up to. Considering they had eaten at Remy's and it was late she wondered why he would be cooking. So with that thought in mind she carefully stepped out of the tub and put the large fluffy robe on and walked out into the loft to find her writer.

"Castle?" Kate called out, after not finding him in the kitchen she wondered where he had gotten off to.

"Just a second Beckett!" He replied from the top of the stairs. A few moments later he was joining her at the bottom.

"How was your bath?" Asked Castle a large smile forming on his face.

"Really good thank you, but what's going on you said you were making dinner but we already ate.

"Right about that I was going to surprise you..." He said looking anywhere but her.

Thats when she finally looked around and noticed that all the lights had been turn off and were replaced with over a dozen candles placed around the living room. Where the couch used to sit now had a pile of pillows and blankets set up almost like a nest. Not for the first time that night Kate is left breathless.

"Go pick a movie they are all by the TV"

With a nod Kate walks over and starts going through his extensive DVD collection, picking her favourite and popping it into the player. She then turns to the pile of blankets and pillows, crawling over on her hands and knees she flops into the heavenly cloud. Castle stood watching her with a smile on his face.

"Comfy?"

"mmhmm" mumbled Kate motioning for him to take a seat which he happily obliged scooting a little closer then she had intended him to but not bothering to care.

"Which movie did you pick?"

"Just watch."

So with that Castle turned to the TV to see the Avengers opening titles, he couldn't help but be impressed and a little turned on.

"Nice choice" He said with a smile.

Only half an hour into the film and Kate had already passed out with her head against Castle's shoulder and her hand unknowingly resting on his thigh. She was adorable when she was sleeping and looked younger when she didn't have the weight of the world resting on her shoulders. By the end of the movie both were passed out in the giant nest of blankets. They had shifted somehow and were now wrapped around each other in a tangle of limbs with Kate's head resting on Castle's chest and him holding onto her for dear life.

The next morning Kate awoke to Castle laying almost completely under her, she propped herself up on his chest and watched as he just breathed. Kate was smiling more then she ever had at that exact moment slowly reaching a finger out she began tracing the lines of his face. Without Kate noticing Castle had opened his eyes only enough to check what the tickle on his face was. Imagine his delight when he realized that the Kate Beckett detective extraordinaire was looking at him like he was the only person she ever wanted to see again.

After a few minuets Castle decided that it was time to make it known that he was awake so he "woke up" Kate pulled her hand back so fast that she elbowed him in the stomach.

"oomph, morning to you to" He laughed

"Oh god I'm so sorry" stammered Kate as she started to sit up.

"Hey, hey its ok come back here!" Castle then reached up grabbing her arm and pulled her back down to his chest.

"I like having you lay on me" Castle said with a smirk

"I bet you do" she said as she snuggled back into his chest. Castle began rubbing her back slowly lulling her into a state of rest. Everything was calm and quiet until Castle spoke.

"You have the day off?"

"mmhmm, finished the case and Gates gave us the weekend." murmured Kate her eye lids starting to droop again especially with Castle rubbing her back like that, sighing she snuggled in closer.

"Hey Kate you going back to sleep?" asked Castle but his only response was a light snore from Kate without a second thought he slowly sat up holding onto her. Carefully he picked her up and made his way to his bedroom, laying her down slowly he then crawled in next to her and cuddled into her side drifting back to sleep as well.

A few hours later Kate woke up in an unfamiliar room glancing at her fathers watch she realized that it was now almost eleven in the morning. Alarmed that she had slept that long she quickly got out of bed and went searching for Castle. She found him cooking eggs and bacon in the kitchen.

"Morning Castle"

Castle turned around with a spatula still in hand.

"Hey" He replies with a smile

"Listen I think we need to have a talk"

And with that Castle's smile dropped and he froze in place with only one thought racing through his min "I went to far"
