MONDAY 1300 HOURS

Kate glanced at Castle out of the corner of her eye; trying not to think about that morning.

The weekend had gone by in a blur of love, sex, food and laughter, culminating in the moment that morning when she had climbed on top of him while he was still sleeping.

He had awoken quickly enough, especially once she slid the hard morning heat of him deep inside of her. She had just adjusted to his size and started to move when her phone rang.

Groaning, Kate had put one hand against his chest to hold him still as she thumbed the slide on her I-Phone. 'Beckett." She panted. A moment later she frowned. "I was getting the paper and had to run to catch the phone! Shut up, Espo! Fine... we'll be there soon.'' Growling, she slid off of him, trying to ignore the little whimper of regret that broke free from his chest. "Body dropped.'

"And it can't wait five minutes?"

"You never take just five minutes!''

"Okay, but I could try..."

Kate seemed like she was actually considering it, but then leaned down and kissed him gently. "Save it for later." She ran her fingers through the stubble on his chin. "The anticipation will be worth it."

"Wait," He blinked. "Later? You're coming back here later?"

"I can't pass up the opportunity to hear all about Alexis' Foreign Exchange Stud, can I?" She laughed at his withered look.

"-ENT!''

Beckett grinned. "He's a walking tree?"

''Stud-ENT!'' Castle tried not to show how much he liked it when she talked geek, following her into the bathroom as he rubbed his eyes. When she bent over to turn on the bathtub taps, he could only stare at the perfectly shaped backside she presented for his perusal.

"That's not helpful. You are so not helping."

Now... now she was desperately regretting not giving him his five minutes.

The case had been an easy one, solved in just a few hours. Since then she had been on edge; mesmerized by the way his muscles moved, her panties soaked, her body vibrating. Every beat of her heart echoing between her legs as she glanced over at him... Just sitting there...

The desire was almost debilitating.

Swallowing, Kate took a long breath. "Castle-"

"Beckett!"

Kate's head shot up to find Montgomery staring at her from his doorway.

''My office." He pointed inside. ''Now.''

She glanced down at Castle as she stood, shrugging when he raised his eyebrows. She walked towards the office like it was The Green Mile. When she reached the Captain's door, she poked her head inside. ''You wanted to see me?''

Montgomery tilted his head to the side sarcastically. ''Come in.'' he watched as she stepped tentatively inside. ''Close the door.''

Kate nodded slowly, swallowing as she listened to the door close with a loud click; the finality of it rather fitting. When she turned back around, the Captain was watching her closely.

"I have two things to say and I am going to say them both right now. Just so we're clear." Montgomery leaned against his desk. "Keep it under control at the station... and if he hurts you... I'll kill him."

Kate blinked. "Captain?"

"Did I stutter?" He pulled his chair out and sat down, looking at her pointedly. "I think we're done here."

Beckett nodded. "Yes, Sir." She went to leave, stopping right as she reached for the door. ''How did you know?"

"I'm a cop.''

Kate raised one eyebrow, looking back at him over her shoulder.

Montgomery finally smiled. "I have been watching over you your entire career. How could I not know?"

Beckett walked back towards her desk, stopping a few feet away to admire the way Castle's coat was stretched taut around his broad frame. When he flexed his back, rolling his shoulders, Kate felt her stomach clench tightly.

Montgomery knew.

They weren't in danger anymore.

She felt her palms begin to ache; her fingers flexing as she remembered how soft his hair was... his skin... his tongue.

''Screw it.'' She growled.

Castle looked back at her. ''What happened?" He grunted in surprise when she grabbed him by the front of his shirt and hauled him out of his chair.

''Shut up.'' She pulled him along behind her, down the hall and through a restricted access door. The next hallway was shaped like a T, with a door in the middle. Glancing left, then right, Kate pushed the door open quickly and shoved him inside, following closely behind him. She closed the door softly and then grabbed a broom, bracing it against the racks on either side of them.

It was a storage closet.

And she was locking the door.

Castle blinked in the low light. ''Kate?'' When her eyes finally met his they were completely black; her pupils wide. ''Kate?"

''I told you to shut up.'' The detective crowded into his space, pushing him back through sheer force of will. She stared at him for a moment, her teeth worrying at her bottom lip.

And then she was all over him.

Literally.

"Ooomph!" All of the air left his lungs as she slammed him back against the wall; her fingers making short work of his shirt buttons. He was just trying not to end up with his foot in a mop bucket. ''Kate...'' He tried one last time.

''Castle!'' Beckett glared at him in exasperation. "If you interrupt me again, we are going back to my desk." She raised an eyebrow at him.

Rick blinked. "Shutting up now."

''I thought you might." Kate smiled, slowly pulling his shirt tails out of his slacks. With a happy sigh, she let her fingers run along the muscles of his abdomen. ''God, I love your chest.'' She dropped her head, leaving a molten trail of open mouthed kisses between his pecs.

Castle's head fell back, slamming hard into the wall behind him but he didn't have time to register the pain, not when Kate's lips were crashing down on his... hard. His hands scrambled wildly, trying to work the buttons of her blouse loose.

''No.'' The detective pushed him back, leaving him panting. Locking eyes with him, she trailed her own hands down between her breasts and over her belly to pop the button on her jeans. She slid the zipper down slowly. So slowly he could feel himself throb with every click.

Then she reached for his right hand.

Pulling it up to her face, Kate kissed each fingertip before slipping his middle digit between her lips to work it over slowly with her tongue.

Castle groaned but she didn't give him time to suffer much. Pulling downwards, she slipped his hand over her belly and inside the barely-there lace she liked to call panties.

''Jesus...'' He breathed. She was so wet... she had to have been like this for hours.

The thought made his mouth go dry and before he could stop himself he was burying two of his thick fingers deep inside of her.

She opened her mouth to scream and he covered it quickly with his own, swallowing her cries as he bent the tips of his fingers, feeling her muscles close exquisitely around him.

''Kate...'' He whispered, dropping his head to her shoulder. For a moment, she hesitated.

Then...

''Fuck it.'' Her fingers grabbed at his belt, yanking it free before unbuttoning his slacks and pushing them down. His boxer briefs followed. She took hold of him firmly, grinning when he whimpered. "Tell me what you want..."

"I want to be inside you..."

"Then take what you want..." She kicked off her heels and her jeans; wrapping her arms around his neck to balance herself as her legs did the same at his waist. As soon as she felt his hardness slide through the slick heat between her thighs she dropped her head. "I want that too..."

Castle slipped his arms under her thighs; his muscles bunching up deliciously as he raised her higher in the air...

...and then slid home.

Maybe it was the new place... maybe it was the chance of being caught...

...or maybe... maybe it was just the energy they created together. The love... the passion...

Whatever it was, it grabbed him at the base of the spine, sending his hips slamming upwards with a raw power and need he had never experienced before. ''Kate... Kate..." He chanted her name with each upward thrust; grimacing in pain and pleasure when she closed her teeth on his clavicle to keep herself from screaming.

Beckett tasted blood; she was biting him that hard, but it only seemed to drive him harder. He reached out and yanked her shirt and bra up, his lips immediately closing on one of her nipples as he spun them around, using one off the storage racks, pushing her back into it... increasing the pressure of his thrusts until Kate began to tremble.

It was small at first. Little shocks, little shudders.

But it was enough to make it hard for him to concentrate.

His thrusts became more reckless, more wild. His muscles twitched under the constant pressure of her hands and she felt the low, deep heat she only associated with him start to build in her belly. It grew exponentially, turning her insides to liquid fire as her entire body started to come apart.

Rick tightened his grip, his lips attached to her throat as he slammed into her over and over; the feel of her inner muscles pushing him towards the edge until finally, he didn't even know where he was anymore. He was weightless... floating...

Then he heard her breath hitch. It brought him back to her and he thrust into her twice more, reveling in the feel of her walls closing tight around him; in the way she milked him...biting him... wanting every last piece of him she could get.

And he gave it to her.

He gave her everything he was.

And she gave it back.

She shattered spectacularly; more so because she was so silent. She went rigid in his arms, her nails clawing rivulets in his back as she tensed... and he went willingly; spilling himself inside her as he closed his eyes, his senses reeling.

"Kate..." He whispered again; using the wall to steady her as he slowly lowered her legs. When her knees had strengthened, he loosened his hold. "Wow..."

"I would have to agree." She brushed at the damp hair on his forehead before resting her own against it. "One of your better ideas."

Castle laughed. "All of my ideas are good."

She opened her mouth to respond, laughing when he kissed her pointedly.

"Okay." Kate looked around, pulling on her jeans as she tried to locate her other shoe. She kissed him once she had found it. "Give me a few minutes to clean up." She watched attentively as he tucked Little Rick back into his pants. "Meet me at the desk in fifteen?"

The writer nodded happily; stealing a quick kiss before she headed out the door.

He lingered in the storeroom longer than he actually meant to, trying to commit the last twenty minutes to memory in all of it's glory. By the time he got back to Beckett's desk, Esposito and Ryan were already there, filling her in on a new body that had dropped. He sat down tiredly, a huge smile on his face.

"Bro?" Espo leaned in closer, his nose crinkling. "Why do you smell like cherries?"

It was almost ten PM before Beckett's eyes blinked open. She stared at the ceiling for a few minutes before smiling and dragging herself out of bed. She stole clothes from her boyfriends dresser before stumbling out into the living room; her mouth watering at the smell of food coming from the kitchen. She followed her nose, grinning when she found Castle wearing pajama bottoms, an apron, and nothing else.

"You let me sleep too long." She grumped good-naturedly.

Castle went to the fridge and poured her a glass of white wine. "You needed it."

Kate took the glass gratefully; the cool liquid just what she needed. "Isn't it a little late for dinner? Not that it doesn't smell fantastic." She slid onto one of the barstools; giving in to her love of watching him be domestic.

"Alexis isn't home yet." He glanced at the clock. "I want her to have something hot when she gets here."

"Maybe something hot is what kept her from getting here." She smirked, holding up her hands at his glare. "I'm just kidding, Castle. She is too responsible for that." The detective came around the counter, pushing herself up against him. "Unlike some people I know."

Rick smiled and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her deeply.

Neither of them heard the door open.

"Hi guys."

Alexis' voice broke them apart, Castle turning back to his frying pan as Kate smiled apologetically. "Sorry."

"Hmm?" Alexis looked at her, the distraction in her eyes apparent.

"Uh... nothing." She glanced at Rick, who pulled the pan off the fire and set it aside.

"Pumpkin?" He stepped around the counter, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Are you ok?"

"Hmmm?" Alexis shook her head. "No, I'm fine, Dad."

"How was school today?" The concern in his tone was apparent.

"It was... interesting."

Kate took her hand and squeezed it. "And your special guest?" She grinned broadly. "How did your expectations live up to the reality?"

"Tab..." Alexis took a deep breath. "Tab was... interesting."

Castle frowned. His normally loquacious daughter was being reticent... "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Hmmm?" Alexis blinked at him absently. "Oh, yeah. I am fine, Dad. It's just been a long day. I know you made dinner but we stopped for burgers before we came home. If you don't mind is it okay if I just go to bed? I'm meeting Tab for coffee before class tomorrow. It should be-"

"Interesting?" He nodded slowly. "Sure sweet pea. Get some rest." He accepted her kiss with a smile, his eyes following her as she headed upstairs. Then he turned to Beckett, his forehead furrowed. "Did she seem weird to you?"

The detective snickered. "Castle, I hardly think you're in any position to judge what's 'weird'."
