Wednesday, 15th February 2012

Kate roused with a dopey smile on her face. She was warm and comfortable where she was and vaguely registered that a heart beat was pounding under her ear. Curling her hand on his chest, lightly scratching her nails across his skin, Kate heard him moan and tighten his grip on her. Her grin broadened knowing that even while he was asleep, she still had power over his body.

She nuzzled her cold nose into his skin, placing a kiss on his chest. Kate could definitely get used to this; waking up in his arms every morning, the only problem would be her not wanting to leave. Early morning calls were going to be very difficult to wake up to if she's anywhere near him in bed.

Rick started to stir underneath her, and her smile got wider. Normally she wouldn't even be here for the morning after – she dreaded it – but this she welcomed. Her mind was in a very naughty mood and her body ached for more of him, and she didn't think that yearning would ever go away with this man.

Rick woke up slowly; half his body warm, the other side slightly colder. His brain was foggy and crawled to get started, almost forbidding him to wake after the amazing dream he had.

He had dreamt of her – yes, that's what he usually dreamt about – but this time was different. This time it was a surprise for him. Kate had wined and dined him, not the other way around. Needless to say he was ecstatic. He didn't know what had made her do it, but he wasn't questioning it in the slightest. They were finally on the same page; he didn't have to coerce her feelings out of her, she told him he loved her all on her own.

Then again, it was a dream. You could be whatever you wanted in dreams, and people could say things you wanted to hear so desperately, in dreams. "A dream is a wish your heart makes". Walt knew what he was talking about. He had thoroughly convinced himself and now really didn't want to wake up, not unless Kate was in the bed with him. It would be so hard for him not to get up and go to her apartment now after that dream. He had the need to be near her at least, touching her and making love to her like he did in the dream at most.

There was no way on Earth would Kate Beckett admit she has feelings for him without some sort of prodding and poking. Surely it was a dream.

He stilled as soon as he felt her move beside him, moaning a little as she buried her face further into his neck. Hot breath on his neck had all his blood rushing south – not like most of it wasn't there anyway.

So not a dream? Or maybe this isn't Kate? There would be no way Kate Beckett would be sleeping next to me... But who else? Oh, God! Don't tell me I got drunk and picked up a stranger...

'Stop thinking. I can hear you.'

That, was definitely Beckett. He finally gathered the courage to open his eyes. She was on his chest, hand now under her chin, looking up to him with those big bright eyes. He looked further down her body, seeing naked flesh where the blanket had slipped during the night.

'I'm dreaming again,' he told himself out loud. 'No way Kate Beckett is naked in my bed laying on top of my naked body.'

Kate decided at that moment to put her hot, open mouth on his chest, kissing up to his neck and nipping a little to make him jump.

'Not a dream.' She purred in his ear seductively.

It had all been real. She was actually here, in his arms. His heart was fluttering madly in his chest.

'Rick.'

It snapped him out of his bubble. There was nothing to do but kiss her. He pulled her up and joined their mouths, conveying just how happy he was right now, and how madly in love with her he was. He was on fire, every fibre of his body was reacting to her, one part more so that the others. He didn't care. She was laying on top him, making out with him, not pulling away, but kissing him back just as fiercely.

Pulling apart, only when oxygen became a problem, he wouldn't let her go far. With their foreheads against one another, they couldn't keep the smiles off their faces. His hands never stopped wandering over her skin, everywhere he could touch, finding spots that made her moan and giggle, like he wanted to do the night before, but never got the chance to.

Kate in turn, kissed every spot on his face, nipped his ears and sucked on his neck.

'You have today off, right?' he asked a little shakily. Rick was trying to hold on to the little control he had at this moment, the control she was slowing undoing with her lips.

'Mhmm, all day.'

'Good, because we're not leaving this bed for a while.'

'That was the plan.'

They kissed for a while, rolling and giggling around on the bed before Kate heard her phone go off.

'I really have to get this,' she groaned. 'It's Lanie. Permission to leave the bed and come straight back?' Kate asked as she already had her feet on the floor. He kissed her back and told her to go, watching her in all of her naked glory as she quickly left the room.

Rick heard the ringing stop, thinking Kate picked it up, but it started again. She came back in and settled her back against the headboard before answering it. She held her finger to her lips, telling him not to speak before putting the phone on speaker.

'Yes, Lanie, what can I do for you?'

'HE PROPOSED, KATE!' Lanie's high pitched squeal filled his bedroom, and he couldn't help but grin. So he and Kate were the last two to tie the knot. He would rectify that, maybe soon.

'I'm sorry, you're gunna have to be more specific.' Sarcasm laced her voice as she couldn't keep the smile from her lips. Rick was used to careful and emotionally repressed Kate. This carefree buoyant Kate was something that spread wonder through his veins. Oh, she had him hook, line and sinker, and he really didn't care.

Lanie was oblivious to her tone or just too happy to care at this point, so she continued. 'Javier Esposito proposed to me, Kate!'

'Congratulations, Lanie. I'm so happy for you!'

'It was so romantic! And the sex! Mmm, what that man can do to me!'

Rick started to laugh as silently as possible.

'Lanie-'

'What? You're my best friend. You're getting details!'

'He's my little brother! I don't want them!'

'You're still getting them. Oh, how was your Valentine's? Javi said you were doing something and not to call you last night.'

Rick looked at Kate and shrugged, telling her silently it was up to her if she wanted to tell Lanie about them, or keep it to themselves for a while. It also explained Espo's behaviour. They were in it together yesterday. There was not going to be any teasing by Espo when they got into work; nothing about being a soft romantic, because all of them were - just some a little deeper down than others.

As he remembered everything from yesterday, he wanted to ravish her again, maybe a little slower this time and see how many times he can make her lose control. Rick's hand started to travel up her crossed leg, not even hiding how much he wanted her – he was never hiding that from her again. He felt her shiver under his fingers, and it turned him on more. He placed a kiss to her thigh and heard her moan.

'Kate? How'd it go? I still can't believe you didn't jump Writer-Boy. And who is this mystery man, and why haven't I heard of him before! You've been holding out on me again.'

As soon as her hand tangled in his hair as his mouth travelled along her thigh, Rick lost all composure. 'It went well, Lanie. Congratulations to you and Javi.' He said, only taking his lips away from her skin for the shortest amount of time possible. Rick didn't feel any sort of pain as his lips kept moving over her leg, like he expected. He heard a soft laugh and moan as his fingers slid up to her juncture. He could feel his control slipping as he found her as ready as he was.

'I-is that-'

'Sorry, Lanie. Mystery man awaits. Our Valentine's isn't over just yet.' She giggled cutting her friend off, ending the call and dropping the phone off the bed.

'You're not mad?' he asked as the phone started ringing again; Lanie was clearly not finished with the conversation.

'Nope. I'm glad she knows. It doesn't put Javi in a bad position and she can't say I kept it a secret. Besides it got her off the phone, otherwise she would have talked for hours and I wouldn't have had my way with you several times today.'

Rick groaned and pulled her down the bed rolling on top of her, cradled by her legs.

'You're going to have a lot of angry voice messages from her, you know.' He said, rubbing his nose against hers.

She shrugged and kissed his lips. 'You're worth it.'

Rick smiled and kissed her again before sinking into her, knowing it would not be the last time today.

A/N: So there you have it. I wanted Lanie to find out about them and I wanted Kate to get the last word in: Check and check.

I thought that bringing in Rick's murder board would be too much and would ruin the fluffyness, besides we all get to see what happens with her lie today... I'M SO EXCITED AND I'M STUCK AT UNI AND THEN WORK AFTERWARDS! I won't get to see it until midnight tonight (which will be wednesday for me as I'm in Australia). As they say "no rest for the wicked".

Anyways, thank you for all the kind reviews and sticking with it even though it isn't Valentines day anymore... or February for that matter... Dear God its almost April... How the hell did you guys stik with this?

Thank you all again, you make my existance :)
