A/N: Sorry for the delay, dear readers. I went on vacation during Easter break and didn't manage to finish this chapter before I left. I think you'll like this one! It's definitely M rated and definitely not everyone's cup of tea, so feel free to turn around, or go ahead and leave a review afterwards. I'm open to all kinds of criticism.
Dedicated to Lu. The Kate to my Serena. The Castle to my Beckett. The Yin to my Yang. The bamboo to my panda. You get the gist.
Enjoy! ;)

The hotel room door shuts with a too-loud click and suddenly everything around them is still; quiet and immobile. Serena swallows, wets her lips, her eyelids fluttering as she stares first at Rick, then at Kate.
Back to Rick.
She takes a step, confident but gauging for reactions, certain but absorbing, because she knows the balance of power has shifted.
They took a cab to her hotel, shared a few teasing touches all crammed up together on the back seat. Nothing too big – just Serena's hand on Kate's thigh, short nails scratching lightly against dark denim, their bare arms brushing. Kate had blushed, but Rick had caught her gaze and smiled encouragingly, so she'd bit her lip and allowed the touch to travel through her, hot and arousing. Rick had sat at the blonde's other side, almost still, simply sitting there with his side pressed into hers, his warmth at once thrilling and comforting. Every time Serena had taken one of those deep luxurious breaths, the brown belt she'd tied around her slim waist had dug into her skin and her shoulder had pushed against Castle's.
Now, she is playing with the sequins of her shirt, wanting to get out of the restricting garments but waiting on them, because although it's her hotel room, it's their relationship. She looks at Kate, thinking that maybe she's the one she really has to persuade, because Rick seems more than willing and ready.
Kate stares back without blinking. It sends a thrill down her spine, to know that Serena respects what's between Rick and her and understands that they're only in this together. She can see it in the look that the blonde keeps flicking between the two of them that she is aware of the bond, of the pact that Rick and Kate have forged.
But.
She needs to be sure. Has to make sure that Serena doesn't try, doesn't even attempt to get between them.
(Unless literally so. Kate blushes with the unbidden image of her luscious body pressed between them. She can get between them any second now.)
"I want her first" she states firmly and Rick chokes on his own breath beside her. Serena's eyes widen in shock (for once it's not her turn to make the first move; for once it's not Serena who's straight-forward and demanding) and then they darken, her lips falling open, wide and ripe and inviting.
"Yeah."
It's not a question.
"You first," she confirms and Rick mutters expletives under his breath because, oh damnit, these two will surely be the death of him.
Kate approaches Serena like a wild cat does her prey, and Rick can't even watch, simply can't watch without bolting forward and losing control, so he turns on his heels and flees for the hotel fridge, muttering something about drinks and cooling off and "It's really getting hot in here". He watches from the corner of his eye while they get closer and closer, circling each other and finally touching, the caress of the blonde's fingers around his girlfriend's waist causing shivers to race down his spine.
As Kate leans in Serena thinks maybe she's going for her mouth, but at the very last second she turns her head, brushes her soft lips against Serena's cheek, up to her ear. Serena's fingers dig deeper into her hips.
"I hope you know what you're getting yourself into" Kate rasps into the blonde's ear, but Serena isn't like Rick, doesn't get all flustered and dumbstruck and gaping. She pushes back firmly until they're face to face again, then brushes a dark lock behind Kate's ear, leaves her hand spread from neck to ear, thumb at her chin as she surges forward and kisses her, open mouthed.
Rick swivels around and Kate moans, slides her hand roughly up Serena's stomach and beneath the brown belt, hooking her fingers around it and pulling, bringing their bodies closer together.
"You taste like mint" the detective rasps out, licking her lips even though they're just a breath apart; her tongue brushing Serena's red bottom lip.
Kate lurches forward and steals another deep kiss from Serena, fast and hot and needy and dirty, moaning and pressing and making Rick's throat close up.
Her free hand comes up to cup the back of her head, sliding into the blonde locks as their tongues collide, kissing urgently, without holding back.
"Let's" she gets out between nips of teeth. "Bed."
It's all she needs to say. Serena breaks away with a pop of wet lips and confidently takes Kate's hand, leading her over to the soft bed. Both women's strides are strong and not the least bit wobbly, even though the blood is rushing loudly in their ears. They sink onto the sheets, fully clothed but for the high heels that they leave at the foot of the bed.
Kate provocatively spreads her legs, allowing Serena to settle between her thighs, her arms to either side of her shoulders.
Then she flicks her eyes over to her boyfriend (she just knows that he can't take his eyes off of them), gives him her best bedroom seductress smile, and kisses Serena so languidly that Rick's knees almost buckle just from watching.
She doesn't break the kiss but undoes Serena's belt with swift movements, has the tight jeans unbuttoned and zipped down in less than two seconds and shows no hesitance in forcing down the dark fabric as far as she can reach.
"In a hurry?" Serena pants, but leans back willingly on her knees so Kate can strip her of her sparkly blue shirt.
"Just thought we'd get to the fun part" she answers in an undeniably breathy voice and places her lips just above Serena's heart, licking teasingly lower and sucking lightly on the swell of her full breasts.
"Hm" Serena answers curtly, as if professionally assessing the situation, but the smugness leaves her quickly as Kate wastes no time in pushing down Serena's lace panties.
"What?" Kate asks at the surprised look on the blonde's face. "You didn't think I'd spent more time on foreplay, did you?" she teases as she turns them around and pushes Serena into the covers. She continues where she left off and doesn't even have to lift Serena's upper body off the bed to slide down the bra and unclasp it. She pauses just for half a second to gaze at the beauty below her before she bends and takes one rosy peak between her smooth lips.
"Oh" Serena breathes and tangles her long slim fingers in the brown curls. Kate uses her teeth to tease the nipple, then flattens her tongue across it and breathes, opening her eyes to watch goosebumps race down Serena's arms. She switches to the other breast until she's squirming underneath her, impatient and oh so damn turned on.
Suddenly in the mood to take her time, Kate kisses slowly down her stomach, alternating between firm presses of her lips and the light scratch of her teeth, but Serena takes matters into her own hands and tries to wriggle her legs to get rid of her pants. Kate pulls back and stops her with gentle fingers.
"Allow me" she says, but it sounds more like an order, her eyes darkened into almost black orbs. Serena nods and Kate effortlessly sends the jeans and underwear flying off the bed. Smiling slyly, she kisses up her smooth legs, starting just below her left knee. Just as she arrives at the juncture of thigh and hip, she glances backwards at Rick, who's opened a bottle of champagne and is spilling it all over the expensive carpet as he tries to serve himself and watch them at the same time.
(Kate's right there on top of Serena, but she hasn't forgotten the fact that Rick's in the room too, watching.)
She smiles at her baffled boyfriend, a feral sound escaping her smug lips, and then he blinks and she licks a firm line from Serena's wet opening right up to her bare mound. She lets her lips form a seal and sucks, moving lower again and hovering when she's found the spot that makes Serena moan.
"God, you've done this before, haven't you?" the blonde gasps and Kate chuckles against her clit.
"Like you haven't" she presses out before descending back down with lips and teeth and, oh, tongue. One hand wraps around her hip to keep it from bucking too much, and the other grips her thigh so firmly that there might be marks in the morning. She's messy and not the least bit shy, lapping at the slightly sweet juices and spearing her tongue inside before replacing it with her fingers, directing her mouth back up to drive Serena completely insane. There's moisture all over her face and her nose is pressing into the soft skin of her thigh, but it feels great, so great to have this powerful woman at her mercy, lusting for her, whimpering her name.
She has her right where she wanted her; all thoughts of Rick erased from her mind.
Apparently Rick hasn't forgotten about them, though, because just as her fingers seem to have found a particularly good spot inside of Serena, she feels a hand brush along her calf.
Startled, she curls her fingers slightly. Serena moans.
"Yes, right there!" she cries out, and Kate repeats the motion, speeding up the fluttering of her tongue as well. The burning touch on the back of her leg disappears just as Serena moans again. "God, that's good."
Instead of finishing her off though, Kate removes her fingers and softly kisses Serena's clit before straightening and turning around for Rick.
He's standing beside the bed, eyes wide and dark and lips parted. He looks so cute and dazzled and she feels so powerful and sexy that she pulls him in by the front of his shirt and kisses him deeply, sliding her tongue past the barrier of his lips and letting him taste the exhilarating mixture of mint and sweetness that she gathered from Serena.
After a second of being completely still, he moans and returns the kiss passionately, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her against his body, almost crushing her.
No sooner does she hear Serena move behind her than she feels her nimble fingers slide around her waist and start to undress her. Rick helps with the shirt, kissing down her neck and reveling in each inch of newly revealed skin, but Serena pulls her away from him to lie her down on the bed again so she can get rid of the pants.
Rick moves out of Kate's line of sight, and when Serena rises above her, golden hair framing her glowing face, her breasts firm and round and just out of reach, she momentarily forgets all about him.
"You didn't think I was gonna let you do all the work, did you?" Serena husks, a teasing glimmer in her eyes as she opens Kate's front clasp and throws the simple black bra to the side.
"Hmmm, you're gorgeous" she smiles and lets her palms explore the skin of Kate's chest from shoulders to stomach. The detective is grateful that she didn't comment on the puckered scar right between her breasts, and yeah, maybe hearing Serena tell her she's beautiful doesn't really hurt either, so she tries to relax and smile back.
The moment Serena's lips connect with her skin, feather-light and blazingly hot, Kate exhales, then inhales deeply, arching her back off the mattress and into the touch. The blonde starts at the tiny freckle on her ribs, just below her right breast, and moves downwards, inwards, earning a soft cry when she dips her tongue into the bellybutton, feeling the strong muscles of her abdomen jump underneath her warm breath.
Kate wraps one arm around the other woman's shoulders, lets her slender fingers slide through the soft blonde hair, nails digging gently into the scalp. Her nipples are already standing at attention, but Serena ignores them, moving lower still, brushing her palms from Kate's hips to the inside of her thighs, nudging them apart at her knees.
She nips at the smooth skin just above the edge of her panties, catches the detective by surprise with the sharpness of her teeth, the slight pang of pain that comes with the contact. Kate's fingers clench in Serena's hair, her lips falling open on a breathy "oh!"
"Hmm" Serena hums and kisses a trail to one hipbone, her right hand scratching lightly up the inside of Kate's thigh, making the woman shiver and her leg muscles flex. Suddenly the entire length of a thumb is pressing against her panties, the fabric rubbing deliciously from her clit down to her dripping entrance, the garment drenching quickly. Kate bucks her hips and moans, doesn't even care that it sounds needy, doesn't even care that Serena is smiling, smug and wicked.
The wet contact of a tongue right above her knee catches her off-guard, again; because Kate is used to the way Rick does this, used to a certain pattern, used to a system to the touches, and Serena doesn't seem to have one, just moves randomly across her body, driving her insane.
She almost kicks her on accident – her knee moves up in a quick, unconscious reaction, but Serena is faster; moves her head away in time to escape the jerking; she moves on without warning, kisses Kate's clit through the drenched panties and then blows hot air across her stomach.
"Fuck!" Kate screams, throwing her head back and finding her own breast, squeezing sharply to release tension, to distract her from the pulsing of her core, of the desperate quivering of her thighs. It's ridiculous, ridiculous, because she has barely been touched, barely started, but she's already wanton with lust, already so close…
"Yes" Serena hisses, low and dangerous, using nimble fingers to unceremoniously pull down the front of the panties and dip into the moisture, tease her even more when she enters just the tiniest bit, pulling away all too soon to spread it around.
Then her mouth is surrounding Kate's clit and there's no conscious though left in her head, just a mushy lightness in her brain, just colours dancing before her eyes, just sounds falling from her lips as Serena's are pressing into her hot flesh, her tongue swiping through her folds over and over again, her hands rousing and clenching and grabbing, her teeth dragging at the little nub, swollen and pulsing and…
"Ahh!" she screams as she comes, inner muscles clamping around nothing, hands searching for something to hold on to, eyes staring into a blind darkness. The first waves have barely passed, shaking her body through and through, when Serena fills the emptiness inside her, sliding two slim fingers straight into her core and curling them, causing Kate to scream once more, her voice breaking, her breathing rough as she triggers a second orgasm, the shockwaves seeming to overlap, wrecking her body.
"Dammit" she curses hoarsely after a minute of trying to regain consciousness. She opens the heavy eyes she hadn't realized she'd closed and finds Rick on his knees by her side, his shirt untucked, his face hovering above her, Serena wrapped around his side, her smile coy and her lips swollen, pressing against the hollow of his throat.
He's looking only at Kate though, his eyes dangerous and dark, almost black, his lips parted, his chest rising and falling rapidly.
"You…"
He can't find the words, can't even begin to describe what he just saw, what she let him see, what it did to him to see her like that, what it does to him to see her like this.
"Yeah" Kate responds, not needing to know the question to give him an answer.
"Yeah."
