A/N: I was really excited to see that people really liked the last chapter. This chapter has some family time, but also goes back to the sexy seductive Kate that we met earlier in this story. Oh how I've missed her. Enjoy!

Rick was sitting in the chair in his office. Kate was nervously pacing the floor. After the initial shock at being caught by his family had passed he had quickly grabbed Kate and high-tailed it to his office.

"I'm going to go back to my apartment," Kate started to say but when she saw the panicked look on Rick's face she quickly added, "but give me a call once they're gone and I'll come back over."

Once Rick got over the initial fear that she was running and he resumed breathing he looked at her and gave her a wicked smile, "Our first sleepover. We can make snacks, play games, the possibilities are endless."

"Um….Rick, as much fun as all of that sounds, we've kind of already had our first sleepover a few days ago."

"Yes, but this is the first sleepover here at the loft," he said with a big evil grin.

"Oh please Rick I'm sure you've had plenty of women over here before," Kate said. She paused though for a moment as she realized what she had just said. Her face even dropped a little at the thought of Rick sleeping with other women in the bed that they were going to be sharing. She looked back over at him because he had gotten quiet all of the sudden.

"Besides my two ex-wives you're the only other woman that will have spent the night here," he said with a somewhat serious look on his face. There had been a few other women here before for a few hours, and if one wanted to get into a debate, he was not married to each ex-wife the last time they had slept over, but he wasn't going to touch that subject if she was going to overlook it.

Kate's face stayed completely neutral. She knew that Rick hadn't been celibate since his two failed marriages. From what she knew there had been the deep fried twinkie aka Meredith, there had been Ellie Monroe, and then the one that hurt the most had been his ex-wife Gina whom he had gone to the Hamptons with that summer. It had torn her heart into a million pieces to see him walk out of the precinct with her, but she held her head high and somehow got through that summer.

"Give me a call once they are gone and I'll come back over okay," Kate said as she placed a hand on his cheek.

"How about I shove them out the door and say 'see you both tomorrow'?" He looked at Kate to see he was getting a death stare and an eye roll all at the same time. That woman had talent. "No…..fine I'll call you once they're both gone.

Kate silently slipped out of the office and shut the door. As she turned to leave she noticed that Martha was still on the couch looking at her with a big smile on her face. She looked over into the kitchen to see Alexis was staring at her with what looked like a hurt expression. Before she could process that thought anymore Martha broke the silence, "So darling will you be staying for dinner?"

"Ummmm….not tonight Martha. I think after everything that has transpired in the last twenty minutes it would probably be best if I left for a little while."

"Nonsense darling, you're always welcome here. But if you feel you must escape for a little while don't let me stop you," Martha said with a huge grin. "Good night Kate."

"Good night Martha," Kate said as she moved towards the door. She looked over to see Alexis staring at her. The girl looked like she wanted to say something, but was hesitant to do so. "Good night Alexis."

"Good night Detective Beckett," Alexis said with a slight touch of venom in her voice.

Kate was taken aback by the reaction she had received from Alexis, but she didn't let it show on her face. It probably wasn't an easy thing to have your dad barreling in the front door about to go at it with a woman right in front of you. She walked to the door and opened it, slipping into the hallway with as much grace as she could given the circumstances. Once the door was shut she leaned against it taking a much needed deep breath.

Rick took another few moments to compose himself and button back up his shirt before he went out to face the wrath of his family. He wasn't too worried about his mother, but Alexis was another story. He got up from his chair, took a deep breath, and opened the door to face the music.

His mother was the first to comment. "Richard I hope she didn't leave because of us?" She said with an innocent smile.

"Well mother I'm kind of wondering why you are both here in the first place. Not that I don't love you both, but if I would have known you would have been here I could have prevented the embarrassment and scarring mental images."

Martha looked at her son innocently, "Well my trip was cut short due to the fact that I needed more time to prepare for my classes next week."

"Uh huh," Rick looked at her with a doubtful look.

"And I'm here," Alexis piped up to say from the kitchen, "for another hour because I told you I wasn't leaving for Paige's until later this evening."

Rick walked into the kitchen and sat down across from where Alexis was standing, "What are your thoughts about this?" he said looking at his daughter.

"So I take it that it wasn't enough anymore?"

Rick pondered that statement before he realized that the comment was based on a conversation they had a few months ago about him following Kate around and his feelings for her. "I guess you could say that we stopped denying what everyone else has realized since the beginning."

"I don't know whether that was sweet or bordering on too much information, but if she hurts you dad, I will not be kind. Since you have started following her around look at how much trouble and danger you have gotten into. Lately I'm beginning to think that I don't even know the half of what you have experienced. It's bad enough that you put yourself in danger everyday by following her around. If you two are an item that means she has stopped being the detective that my dad shadows and has become the person my dad loves. Therefore that gives me another person to worry about everyday about whether they're going to make it home or not." Rick looked over at his daughter like he wanted to say something, but Alexis held up her hand trying to hold back the emotion in her voice, "All I'm saying is dad that you both need to be careful. I'm not completely saying I'm happy about this , but I don't want to see anything happen to you and if anything happened to her, I just don't think you would get through something like that. I just don't want to lose you and I don't want to lose you if something happens to her."

Rick stood up and walked around the island to put his arms around her and envelop her in a hug, "Understood."

"And just so you know, you will be paying for the therapy to help me recover from the images that are forever burned in my brain."

"Oh come on! It's not like you won't be in a situation like this one day…" his voice tapered off as he realized what he was saying.

"I rest my case dad," Alexis said as she released herself from his grip and went to set the table.

Kate was still mortified that his family had caught them in such a state of disarray. She knew they would be the first people they told, but she just hadn't wanted them to find out like that. That encounter had doused the evening like a cold shower. She just had to figure out how to salvage the evening. Knowing Rick was going to make good on his sleepover games she figured that she needed to have a few tricks up her sleeve. As she walked to her bedroom she started to plot her outfit for her return. He's not going to know what hit him, she thought with a smile.

After about an hour she had managed to pack an overnight bag, but she had also done her hair, makeup, and changed into an outfit that was sure to render the poor man speechless. She secretly loved it when she stunned him into silence. Not only because of the brief moments of silence, but because she has that kind of power over him. Just then the phone rang. She answered it, but he cut her off before she could say hello.

"Mother hen and baby bird have abandoned the nest. I repeat mother hen and baby bird have abandoned the nest."

"You are such a child."

"But I'm an adorable child."

"This is true. I'll be over in twenty."

"I'm patiently awaiting your return."

"Ha! Patiently, that would be a first."

Rick was just starting the dishwasher when the doorbell rang. As he started towards the door he realized that his laptop was still on. He didn't want the battery to go completely dead so he quickly opened the door and cast a quick glance at Kate before he set off for his office. "Hey there, I just need to go turn off my laptop real quick, I'll be right back," he said as he walked off leaving Kate standing in the doorway wondering what in the hell just happened.

Oh I did not spend an hour on this just to be ignored at the front door, she thought to herself as she threw down her bag, opened up her coat, and walked over to his office.

When she got to the doorway he was sitting down typing frantically. She leaned against the doorway and cleared her throat.

"Hold on just a second Kate, I have to finish this thought and…" all thoughts died when he looked up to see Kate in the doorway. His jaw dropped as he took in her appearance. Her hair was done in ringlet curls that cascaded down her shoulders. He absolutely loved it when she wore her hair down. She was wearing her red peacoat which he absolutely loved on her and it was open to reveal a black lace corset, matching panties, garter, and stockings. The five and a half inch heels that she wore seemed to make her legs go on forever. She literally looked like every man's fantasy and her she was standing in the doorway to his office. So many questions ran through his head all at once. Did she wear that out in public? Is that a thong? How did I miss this when she got here?

She left the doorway and slowly walked over to his chair. As she walked she swayed her hips and swiftly removed her coat by letting it glide off her shoulders and arms in one slick movement. She gently draped it across a chair and continued towards him. He started to get up, but was pushed back down by Kate. She looked down at Rick with a little pout, "You hurt my feelings Rick. Here I got all dressed up for you," she said as she straddled him and sat on his lap, "and I have to follow you to get a reaction."

"But…" he started to say but she put her finger over his lips to silence him.

"Shhhhh….," she said reaching down to grab his arms and pull them behind the chair, "don't speak, it's time for your punishment."

Before anything else could be said Rick felt something cold and hard around both his wrists and a clicking noise. Trying to move his hands he realized she had cuffed him. Where the hell was she keeping those? That was a mystery he was damn well going to solve before the night was through. He looked up at her to see a seductive look on her face. He knew that if he really wanted the cuffs off she would remove them, but he loved this sexy, seductive, take control Kate. "Do with me what you must," he said with a smile.

She smiled at him as she leaned back slightly putting her hands on his knees and ground down into his lap. The groan that came from his lips as he closed his eyes and threw his head back put an even biggest smile on her face, "Oh I will." Kate leaned forward and put her arms around his neck. Placing her lips right by his ear she decided to put the poor man out of his misery, "Let the games begin."

A/N: I do feel like an evil person right now for ending the chapter like that. It just felt right though, it just felt right. I've already started on the next chapter so hopefully you won't have to wait too long. Love it? Hate it? Let me know what you thought.
