The moment she said the words she regretted them because that happy smile she walked out to was instantly gone now replaced with a look that broke her heart, realizing her mistake she jumped into action trying to fix it.
" Oh Castle" said Beckett as she rounded the island in the middle of the room so that she was directly in front of Castle. Without a second thought she wrapped her arms around his torso and squeezed hoping that he would realize that she hadn't meant it like that.
" I didn't mean for it to come out like that I just wanted to talk about yesterday considering we never do." Leaning back she looked up to find that his face had softened and he was considerably less tense taking that as a sign that he was willing to listen she reached down lacing her fingers with his and began leading him towards the couch, realizing the stove was still on he reached back flicking the dial to off before allowing her to pull him to the couch. They both sat down still holding hands and staying silent for a few moments to let that sink in.
" Look Castle yester-"
" I know what you're going to say, yesterday was a mistake and it won't be happening again, i'm sorry I went to far."
" Castle will you stop for a second thats not what i'm saying here, I'm saying that I..I um.." Beckett trails off looking down at their hands wanting to say those words to him but scared where it might lead them maybe he doesn't feel the same way?
" Kate what were you going to say?" asked Castle fairly certain he knew where she was going and now with her hesitating he can feel his pulse racing and he needs her to say them before she tries to run!
"Kate?"
And with that she was up off the couch heading towards the door without a second thought completely forgetting her possessions, her only goal was to get out of the loft so she could breath. How could I be so stupid he won't feel the same what is my issue! She gets the door open only enough for the air to move before Castle is behind her slamming it and moving in until her back hits the wood knocking a shocked breath from her. Something inside Castle snaps and without any warning Castle's lips were on hers in a bruising kiss Kate didn't even have a moment to process what was happening before Castles tongue was tracing the seam of her lips begging for entrance, which she gave instantly letting loose a dark moan that she didn't recognize as herself. As soon as it started the mind numbing kiss stopped as Castle pulled away leaning his forehead against hers, both breathing like they had run a marathon.
" What were you going to say Kate?" breathed Castle.
" I-I think I love, god Castle so much"
The look of pure awe that appeared on Castle's face was enough to make Beckett smile just as bright. Castle's mouth open and closed like a fish as he worked through what he just heard. The moment he finally decided that he wasn't making this entire thing up his eyes locked on hers, his face going completely serious.
" I love you to Kate." He says it so seriously that she can't do anything but lean into him again, holding onto the back of his T-shirt for dear life.
