Chapter 9: Chapter 9
A/N: Short chapter, just the reaction to the proposal After waiting a little while for this chapter. Hope you like it! Warning: There is smut.
"So! When's the big day?" Martha exclaimed descending the stairs with Alexis close behind.
"Wow, dad that's gorgeous!" Alexis commented, taking Kate's hand to examine the ring.
"It really is Richard! Congratulations you two!" Martha hugged them both.
"Thank you mother as for the big day, I don't know, "He said glancing over at Kate, who still looked to be taking all of this in, "I think we're just going to enjoy this moment."
"Well! Let's get the champagne!" Martha said, making her way into the kitchen, stopping and turning around, "Or apple juice" She said, remembering Kate's pregnancy.
"That's okay Martha, don't let me stop you from having a glass." Kate said, seemingly finding her voice.
Martha got to work, pouring apple juice into glasses, as Kate leaned into Castle's side.
"I'm really happy for you two." Alexis said.
Kate looked at the girl, trying to see if she was truly happy and not just saying that to make them happy, but the bright smile on the girl's face and the way she was studying the ring on her finger, Kate decided she was happy.
She felt a flutter in her stomach and brought hers and Castle's hand to rest on it, smiling up at him.
"Someone's happy." She smiled.
"She's not the only one." He leaned down, to capture her lips in a kiss, breaking apart only when Alexis cleared her throat.
"Sorry Alexis" Kate blushed.
"That's okay, it's a happy moment for you two. I just didn't want you forgetting I'm right here." She grinned.
Martha returned at that moment with four glasses of apple juice and handed them out. Taking a sip of hers, she raised her glass.
"To the happy couple, to their engagement, to the future addition of our family. To love." Martha toasted.
"To love." They all echoed, clinking their glasses and taking a drink.
Kate caught Castle's gaze, while Alexis and Martha started planning their wedding for him. They were lost in each other's gazes, promising each other more later, when they weren't in the company of others.
"I think the couple want to be alone now dear" Martha said glancing between the two of them.
Alexis followed her grandmother's gaze to the couple who were so lost in each other, they didn't even remember the other two were in the room.
"I'd say." Alexis agreed.
Martha grabbed Alexis' hand and pulled her away and back up the stairs, giving the two the privacy they so desired.
When they realized the other two had left, Castle pulled Kate closer to him, as close as her belly would allow.
"I had dinner waiting… but … I'm sure it can wait a little longer." He whispered.
She smiled and traced on finger across his lips.
"I think it can." She replaced her finger with her lips, kissing him hard, grinning when he moaned into her mouth.
He immediately wrapped his arms around her body, holding her to him, careful not to hurt the baby. She tangled her fingers in his hair, stretching up on her toes to get a better angle.
She opened her mouth, granting him entrance, toes curling when she felt his tongue sweep into her mouth. She felt a moan rise and fall from her lips right into Castle's mouth.
His hands dipped lower, tugging at the belt of her jacket and pulling it off of her shoulders, letting it fall to the floor as he reached for the hem of her shirt. She broke the kiss and stepped back to let him pull it over her head and toss it somewhere in the room.
Her fingers found his shirt buttons and began slowly unbuttoning them, trailing her fingers over every inch of the skin she was exposing, scratching her nails lightly over them as she went, pleased when she felt him shudder.
"We should take this into the bedroom." She whispered against his lips.
Before she knew it, he was sweeping her up into his arms, how he could still manage her she had no idea.
"Don't hurt yourself babe." She teased.
He made his way through his office and to his bedroom, growling as he dumped her on the bed, crawling over her.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, drawing him down to her, connecting their lips once again. Her body was on fire everywhere they were connected, coming alive with each tender touch. Her body shuddered in anticipation as she felt his fingers trail lower and lower. His fingers stopped at the top of her jeans, before moving over to unbutton them, dragging them down her skin slowly. Slipping down her body, he trailed kisses all over her stomach, kissing the skin on her legs, everywhere but where she wanted him most.
He pulled off her shoes and pulled her pants off completely, moving back up her body, paying keen attention to every inch of her exposed skin.
She arched her back, begging him to give her what she craved, but he moved over her and back up to her jaw, kissing and sucking. His mouth was hot over her skin and it was driving her absolutely mad. She quickly, unbuttoned his pants and pulled them down, along with his boxers, leaving him completely naked on top of her. She rolled her hips into his, desperate for friction, smiling when he groaned at the contact.
Effortlessly he removed her bra and tossed it over his shoulder, his mouth descending hot on her. Tongue swirling over each erect nipple, before sucking it into his mouth roughly and doing the same with the other.
"Castle" She moaned, her head falling back against the pillows.
"Mmm" He responded.
Her mouth fell open and her eyes closed at the vibrations his response had caused. She thought she may just become undone right now and he hadn't even touched her yet.
She bucked her hips up into his when she felt his fingers slipping into her soaked panties.
He crashed his lips into hers, swallowing the loud moan that fell from her lips as his fingers rubbed gently over her. Before he went further, he withdrew his hand, ridding her of her last piece of clothing.
Getting impatient, she grabbed his hand and placed it back on her, willing him to take her over the edge. Complying, he rubbed his fingers through her, feeling aroused when he realized how wet she was. Slowly, he stuck one finger into her, biting his lip when she immediately ground down on him, begging for more.
"More Castle … I need … more." She panted.
He added another and began to thrust his fingers in and out of her as she bit down on her lip to keep from screaming out.
"My God, harder Castle, please." She groaned, grinding down on his fingers shamelessly.
He thrust his fingers in and out of her harder and faster, driving her to the edge.
"Oh God, I'm so close." She rasped, her eyes snapping shut.
He continued pumping her, bending his fingers to hit that spot he knew would push her into bliss.
"Oh my God, right there, don't stop, yes!" She moaned, gripping she sheets tightly.
He could feel her contract around his fingers and by the way she fell silent and her mouth fell open, releasing her breath in stutters, he could tell she was about to explode.
"Castle, oh God, I'm gonna – "She groaned before he felt her let go around him. He continued, taking her through her orgasm as her body jerked as she came down from her high.
She panted heavily, opening her eyes to stare at him. She watched as he withdrew his fingers from her, placing them in his mouth to clean them off.
As fast as her belly would allow, she flipped them, so she was now straddling him. She could feel him straining against her, slick with himself.
She rose up, placing him at her entrance and slowly eased down, watching as his eyes rolled back in his head.
"Oh God, Kate." He moaned, throwing his head back as she began to move, slowly, drawing it out as long as she could.
He gripped her hips tightly, tight enough to leave bruises, but not tight enough to cause pain. He moved her hips faster as he thrust up into her.
Her head fell back as she continued to ride him, she could feel herself building up to another orgasm and began to move faster, sloppier.
"Faster Castle." She demanded.
She gripped his thighs tightly as he moved faster, his thrusts becoming erratic and jerky, she knew he was close and so was she.
"Look at me." She heard him say.
She opened her eyes and stared into his as she felt him pour into her, hot and fast. She cried out, coming apart around him, not breaking eye contact. They rode out their orgasmic bliss, slowing their movement gradually.
She collapsed against his sweaty chest, breathing heavily. When they're breathing evened out, she felt him wrap his arm around her and used the other hand to pull the cover over their naked bodies.
They remained in silence for a awhile as he trailed his finger up and down her back, until her belly made her uncomfortable, she slowly eased off of him, wincing at the loss of him inside of her. She nuzzled into his side, sighing in contentment.
"So," He started, "When do you want to get married?"
"I thought you said we were just enjoying the moment." She laughed.
"I think we just did." He commented.
"After." She said.
"After?" He asked confused.
"I want to get married after I have this baby. Any time after is fine" She told him.
"Which is soon. I hear sex helps with labour." He waggled his eyebrows.
"Yea, well, I'm still a couple of weeks off, we don't want her to come too early okay?"
"Of course." He agreed.
"But yea, when I get my body back. I want to marry you. This year. I'm not waiting." She stated.
"Eager aren't we?" He smirked.
"Very." She admitted.
"Hey! She can even be our flower girl!" She exclaimed, sitting up a bit to look into Castle's eyes, "I mean, I know she won't be able to throw the flowers…. Or walk, but I figure someone can just hold her – "She was cut off by Castle's lips against hers.
"What was that for?" She asked, feeling a bit breathless and lightheaded.
"You're amazing." He said, his voice full of love.
"I know." She smiled.
"So it's settled? We'll get married after you give birth and she can be our flower girl." He asked.
"Sounds like a plan." She confirmed.
"Hey Kate"
"Yea Castle?"
"Speaking of this baby, we need to get some baby supplies and transform the guest room to her nursery." He said.
"Tomorrow. We'll go shopping tomorrow." She promised, kissing his chest, "Now, I just want you to love me." She said, rubbing against him, ready for him again already.
"That, I can do." He grinned.
End A/N: Baby supplies shopping and nursery transformation in the next chapter! R&R yea? Thanks!
