A/N: I'm very sorry about the wait on this, it was totally unfair and I apologise for it. You guys don't need the list of problems that occured in my life that had been holding me back from publishing this, so I won't bother with them.

The next chapter will be the last (if I have anyone still reading this, that is) and it should be up after I finish work this afternoon.

Again, I am truly sorry for this.

Oh, and this is an M chapter, in all the best ways, so if you're underage, please don't read it. I don't want to be the one who sent you to thereapy. I'll let you know when we get to the REALLY naughty bits. And if it's not your thing, I'm sorry for making you wait so long, only to be disappointed.

Tuesday, 14th February 2012

With full stomachs and sore mouths from smiling so much, Kate and Rick had moved to the lounge room, dancing to soft jazz while Rick was serenading her softly in her ear. Both hearts were beating wildly at the others touch. Kate leant her head on his shoulder, face towards his neck and closed her eyes.

He hadn't yelled, or screamed at her; he didn't even look angry. And he was here, right now, singing in her ear softly as they shuffled around his lounge room. He kissed her forehead and the tingles started down her body. Opening her eyes and looking up, she saw him gazing at her with love and adoration; the way he usually looked at her, but so much more intense. He had been holding back all these years, Kate could tell, unconcealed and true, and all sorts of "I want to spend the rest of my life with you", and Kate was more than happy now to be on the receiving end of everything he had to give.

Letting go of the hand that had was holding his, she wrapped it around his neck and stood on her tippy toes. He looked a little confused until she joined their lips together for what was probably the hundredth time that night. She moaned into him as fireworks coursed through her body. The noise she made did nothing but spur him on. Both of his arms trapped her body tightly against his and he started walking her backwards. As she dropped back to the flats of her feet, his lips followed her, craning to keep their lips joined as they walked.

Her back hit the door frame, almost painfully. Kate swallowed his apology as she bit his lip, not allowing them to leave hers. They stumbled through his doorway, pulling each other closer and never being satisfied with a micrometre of space between them. Moans mixed and filled the air, along with pants and lips smacking, it was the most arousing sound she had ever heard.

As his hands wandered all over her, she felt him bend slightly. She let go of his lips and a delighted squeal was released as he lifted her onto his desk. He took the time to sweep everything – including his very expensive laptop – onto the floor without hesitation. Kate let out a needy moan at his actions; she really was the only thing he cared about at the moment, and it turned her on like nothing else.

Grabbing his shirt, she yanked him back towards her as soon as he was within reach. Lips smacked again and she could feel her blood starting to heat as his hands spread her legs enough to fit his body between them. His hands slid down to her butt and he pulled her against him, wrapping her legs around his waist, erasing any space. She bucked as their groins hit each other, giving her a miniscule taste of what was to come; she could feel his hard length through his pants and the tiny piece of fabric from her dress. He pressed his hips into her a little more, giving a small amount of friction and she almost came right then.

His fingertips were toying with her though, teasing her as they inched slowly up her leg, starting at the knees wrapped around him and then retreating again. Kate's heart was racing now, the heat making her neck and face – and probably the rest of her – flush with arousal. She was sure that her panties were soaked through, and his wandering fingers hadn't even reached them yet.

Finally he couldn't wait any longer and his hands slid up to her panties, but again he toyed with her, dipping his fingers into the waist line and ticking the sensitive skin of her stomach. His groin was still pleasantly mashed against hers, rubbing when they moved, but it really wasn't enough. Kate finally got some brain function and she started to move her hips into him. He bucked again, sending electricity through her body.

He pulled back suddenly. 'We can't do this.' He panted.

Kate was shocked to say the least. A few seconds past as she caught her breath and could form words. 'Why not?' She was in disbelief. After the romantic night they had together and she could tell he obviously wanted her, so she couldn't understand the problem. They both knew that Alexis wasn't going to be home until tomorrow afternoon after school, so Kate was extremely confused.

'I love you.' He said gently caressing her cheek.

'I know, and I love you. So what's the problem?'

'I don't want our ... first time together to be on Valentine's Day. I don't want it to be a cliché.'

'It's only a cliché if we let it be.'

'Please, Kate? I know I'm sounding like a girl, but I want it to be special.'

'It will be special, because it's you – it's us.' Kate glanced at her watch that was still around his neck and smiled. 'But if you want, we can wait.'

'Thank you,' he said and kissed her lips quickly.

'Besides,' Kate removed her left arm from around his neck, positioning it between them so they could both read the face – though for Rick it was upside down. She waited the last five seconds, counting down in silence as 12am clicked over. 'It's officially Wednesday the 15th of February.'

Rick let out a breath. 'Thank, God.' He smiled his goofy grin. Rick was infectious, and she couldn't help but smile back as their lips met, with a little teeth clash. His hands resumed their trek up her legs slowly again. She couldn't suffer through much more of this teasing, and the worst part is that he really hadn't touched her yet.

****** M part, turn back kiddies! *********

Kate started unbuttoning his shirt. She got frustrated after her fingers wouldn't co-operate and ripped the shirt, buttons flying and clattering across the floor.

'That's so hot,' Rick mumbled into her neck, nipping and sucking across her skin, probably leaving a mark.

All she could do was moan in response, her fingers had trailed down his chest feeling the muscles tighten under her touch – oh god, she wanted him now.

'Rick,' she moaned breathlessly into his ear, as his teeth sunk into her neck sending more heat to her belly.

'Want me to carry you to the bed?' he asked, moving to the other side of her neck, making sure that it wasn't left out.

'Why not here?'

He pulled back to look at her incredulously. 'I'd like to do this the proper way; in a bed.'

'When have we ever done anything the 'proper way'?' she said, getting her cognitive processes back and started to undo his pants and belt.

'Kate, I want this-'

'To be special, I know. But I want you here, now; on the table where you cemented our lives together forever. I want you on the table where you wrote page 105, so we can finally claim it as our own.'

He blinked – once, twice – and Kate could feel his heart pounding in his chest, resonating under her palm.

'I made sure Nikki and Rook did it in a bed.'

'We aren't them.' Kate said softly, running her nails down his chest lightly. She heard the low growl in his throat and leant up to kiss it. 'And we'll end up there later anyway, but right now, I need you to take me on this table.'

Her fingers dipped into his pants, and he let out a moan as she grazed the skin on his lower stomach.

'You make a really... good argument.' He said after he collected himself and latched his lips to hers. He found her zip at the back of her dress and slowly pulled it down, trailing the other hand down her back on the newly exposed skin. His hands found speed as they slid up her legs once more, bunching fabric as he went. Kate removed her hands from him and balanced on the table so he could pull her dress up and over her head, throwing it into a corner.

He moved back slightly, just enough to take her in fully as she sat on his desk in a matching set of red satin underwear. He gulped and she watched his Adam's apple bob. Kate pulled her bottom lip in her mouth, a small and glorious smile forming on her lips.

'God, you're gorgeous.' He said breathlessly.

'You're not so bad yourself, Rick, but I believe you are overdressed for this party.'

'You want to help me rectify that?'

'God, yes.'

Kate pulled him back to her body, taking his lips with hers as she made quick work of his belt and pants letting them pool around his legs. He stamped on them freeing his legs, never once leaving her lips. He pushed her back on the cleared table gently, devouring her mouth.

She could feel his hardness more prominent now, only being separated by her flimsy panties and his thin boxers and with the way he's rubbing into her, her dampness has probably transferred to his material.

Rick's lips trailed down her clavicle, kissing the top of each breast before removing her straps down her shoulders. Full bodied breathy moans filled the room again as he nipped and sucked her nipple. Her fingers tangle in his hair as his tongue swirls over her peak.

'Fuck, Castle!' she moaned as he blew on her wet skin.

He looked up from her breast, a cocky smirk on his lips. 'Soon. Very soon.' He said before finding her other nipple. She moaned loudly and arched to the ceiling. Kate could feel his hands behind her back, undoing her clasp and flinging the bra to the corner of the room. And then he did something that made her heart swell even more than before. He left her nipple and came back to her lips for a second, before a hand slipped down her left side touching her ribs.

His thumb trailed her scar gently, up and down, before he dipped his head and his lips closed around the scar between her breasts.

Kate never cried in the lead up, during or after sex, but with the way he was touching her scars – the ones that almost took her away from this world – was so moving, she was almost in tears. He came back up to her lips, taking them in his once again, soft and gentle, sending shivers down her spin and making her gut flip.

Then a tear did actually fall from the corner of her eye.

'I love you,' he whispered on her lips before taking them again. His hands travelled down her body, finding her panties and slipping them off her with little effort. They joined her bra in the corner; she would have to remember to pick them up before Alexis got back. She felt him move away slightly and when his skin touched hers again intimately, the coil in her stomach pulled tight.

He pulled away from her lips slightly, both of them panting, breathing the same hot air.

'Are you sure about this?' he asked a little worriedly.

'You're kidding, right?' she was literally laid bare on his desk, ready and willing for him. She wanted him so much – needed him – and yet he was still asking her permission.

'Yes, Rick. I love you. I want you and have for a long time. Please don't make me wait any longer.' A grin pulled at her lips as her teeth bit her bottom one.

He smiled back at her and rubbed his nose to hers before leaving her body completely. Kate was entirely confused as he ducked down, fumbling in his pants. He came back up, meeting her lips and she saw the foil wrapper in his hands.

'I don't think we need any little us running around just yet, do you?'

She laughed freely, not at all worried that he was already thinking about kids, before taking the condom out of his hands. She wanted to take the image of him in; lips swollen, chest heaving and standing in front of her in all his naked glory. Kate licked her lips – actually licked her lips – and his penis twitched as he moaned her name. She took him in her hand, thumb on his tip and slowly moved her hand over him.

'You need to stop that, otherwise this will end sooner than I'd like.' He moaned, his hips jerking towards her with her motions.

Ripping the wrapper with her teeth, she rolled it on him while kissing his lips. He gently pushed her back again, stepping between her legs and leaning over her. A hand slipped between them touching her wetness and she bucked. His finger pushed in her and she almost came then and there.

'Oh, God, Rick.'

He brought the wet finger to his lips and sucked it clean before fusing his mouth to hers. His tongue swirled around hers, making sure she could taste her sweetness. Rick slowly pushed into her; they swallowed each others moans as he buried himself in her. He waited a moment, both revelling in the feel of the other.

He broke away from her lips and sucked on her neck as he slowly started to moved. As he picked up his pace she could feel the coil in her stomach getting tighter and tighter. This would be the first time she had come within minutes. She pulled on his hair, bringing him back to her lips as he brought her closer. Rick pulled away from her mouth just as she exploded around him. He watched her lose control, screaming his name as she came. He thrust gently to keep her at her high, prolonging her orgasm as she shook in his arms.

'Fuck, Rick.' Kate panted, her face hot and gleaning with just a little bit of sweat.

'You're beautiful.' He told her before kissing her lips gently. If she hadn't been already flushed from an amazing orgasm he would have seen her blush.

'You're not so bad yourself.' She giggled, euphoria spreading through her. Kate's hands slid down to his butt and started pulling him towards her again.

'Impatient,' he mumbled before attaching himself to her neck. This time he thrust into her hard, standing to get better leverage, and massaging her breasts, tweaking and pulling at her nipples. Within minutes Kate could feel her body wanting to come again; he was hitting her G-spot with every thrust in this new position. Once again Rick had her eyes rolling back in her head and arching towards the ceiling. This time she was quiet as she came, her body racked in a silent scream. She twitched all over in an amazing buzz as he slowly moved in her.

'Bed now.' She panted and he took her in his arms. As he slipped out of her, she groaned at the loss. Her legs wrapped around him as he walked them into his bedroom and he practically threw her onto the bed, following her body and hovering over her.

She threw her arms around his neck, hooked her leg around his and flipped him.

'That, was hot.' He grinned madly.

Her hand slipped between them positioning his hardness as she drew him in. His hands massaged her hips as she moved above him, riding him with abandon. As he started to meet her movements with his thrusts, she knew he was close. A hand grabbed her breast and the other moved over her clit. Her movements started to become erratic, but she refused to release until he did.

Rick's face started to turn red with restraint as he fought to hold on.

'Come for me, Rick.' She moaned as she desperately fought her orgasm off. Kate leant down, kissing his lips fiercely. He moaned into her as she felt Rick start to throb and twitch within her. She released his lips as her own moan would not be held back. She finally let go and clenched around him, pulling him into her body for the third time and she felt him release. His grip tightened on her as she shook again. Their moans filled the room, as they reached their peaks.

Kate slumped on his body, not being able to keep upright any longer. She kissed any part of skin she could, not wanting to get off him just yet. His large hands stroked her back, sending fire through her body, even after she had been thoroughly sated.

She eventually rolled off him, both groaning at her actions. He slipped the condom off, throwing it at the bin with accuracy. Kate watched him as he sat up and pulled the blanket up and over them, tucking himself behind her.

She felt safe here in his arms, relaxed and not wanting to leave like she did with most of the other men she slept with. Kate wasn't going to be leaving tonight, or ever; at least from his life. She was staying. And with the way that he was holding onto her with his hand wrapped tightly around her stomach, he wasn't going to let her leave, even if she tried.

He snuggled his nose into her neck, breathing her in and sighing contently. 'Goodnight, Kate.'

'Night, Rick. I love you.'

'Love you, too.' He said sleepily.
