Try not to over analyze each and every word that you read. His apartment is bare and way past minimal. It has no character at all. And since Rick has decided to finally take a shot at killing himself, Kate has gone maybe a little overboard turning herself into a dominatrix. But Castle needs this or he'll just try again.

Plus remember Kate is the head of a house full of vampires, she is used to being in charge. Placing herself in charge of Castle is not that big of a stretch.

Kate was stripping off her clothes after coming from the kitchen making sure that all the blood bags that the hospital had were safely in one or more of their refrigerators. Kate saw Alexis was already in bed dressed in one of her night shirts.

Kate threw her clothes in the hamper, pulled out one of her own night shirts, checked to make sure that all of the shutters were closed and locked and the blackout curtains were drawn before joining Alexis in their bed.

Kate pulled Alexis in tight. "How did it go?" Alexis asked.

"It filled all of our refrigerators to almost overflowing. We should be fine for weeks if not months. We need to make sure our emergency generator works properly tomorrow." Kate pointed out one of the things that needed to be done.

"I'll take care of it." Alexis answered and snuggled in close to Kate.

"I don't know what I would do without you." Kate had been happy with Alexis ever since she had changed her into a vampire.

"You'd survive mom." Alexis knew Kate would be fine, she was after all over 600 years old. A vampire didn't get that old by being stupid.

"Perhaps, but it wouldn't be anywhere near as much fun." Kate squeezed Alexis and kissed her head. "You know I love you, right?" Kate needed for Alexis to never forget it or worry about it.

"I know mom, I love you too. I suppose you'll be out again tomorrow?" Alexis wasn't really asking.

"Yes, the minute the sun sets. Where I'm taking him closes at 8:00 pm and we'll be lucky if the doors are still unlocked when we get there." Kate was hoping this would work. Most furniture stores closed at 7:00 except on holidays. She could wait for the 4th of July if she had to, it wasn't that far away.

"Goodnight mom." Alexis tried to find the perfect spot. "I love you."

"I love you, too, sweetie, sleep well." Kate responded just before the sun hit their outdoor shutters and the vampires in the house die.

Rick woke up finding the sun shining in through his window, through the door leading out into the living room and it looked like it had been up for a while now.

He strained his neck to look at his alarm clock to see the time, not that he used it for anything else. He didn't have reason to set it anymore. 11:32

Rick moaned and decided that he should get up and run his two errands and get it over with. He rolled out of bed and into the shower.

Rick was dressed and downstairs an hour later and outside into the heat of the day, wishing he was back inside instantly. He walked to a liquor store to get what he needed.

He went directly to the whiskey section and started searching for a Scotch, and not any of that blended stuff that most of them made. It was crap and he wanted the good stuff.

Old Particular Craigellachie Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whiskey 17YO

"This should work, not that I need all of it and it's only $106," he said to himself and went back outside to find an ATM to get the cash he needed before returning to buy his bottle.

Rick started walking down the street towards another small park he knew about, however going this way allowed him to stop and buy a single glass to drink his Scotch from.

After reaching the park he pulled his bottle out of the paper bag, crumbled it up and tried for a basketball shot at the nearest trash container. "Missed, looks like my luck still holds," he said, feeling dejected. He couldn't even get his trash in the trash can, and it had a nice, big, open top.

Rick left his trash on the ground and pulled out his pills. He knocked four of them out of the bottle. He really only needed one he reasoned, but four should speed things up, so he put them in his mouth and closed the bottle.

Pouring some of his Scotch into his brand new glass, he swallowed all of it down. He refilled his glass and started sipping it slowly while watching people walk by.

Rick refilled his glass a few more times and soon had about ¼ of his bottle gone. "I might get found here," he reasoned and closed his bottle. He picked it and his glass up and went home.

Once he reached his apartment, he drank straight from the bottle. He placed it on his dresser and went back to bed, still dressed in his clothes. He even left his shoes on.

He positioned himself spread eagle on his bed and waited for his final sleep to take him, praying that it would take all of his pain away. He just wanted the pain to go away.

Alexis woke up and found the other side of the bed empty which was a surprise, her mother almost never got up before she did. Still Alexis laid there and stretched. She heard a couple of popping sounds. Alexis was all set to get up when Kate walked into the room from the bathroom. She was already dressed and her hair hung loose and still looked a little wet. And she wasn't in her midnight raid clothes either, she was dressed to impress.

Alexis was all set to call out to her when Kate jumped, leaving behind a gust of wind. "I hope you know what you're doing, mom," Alexis commented to the empty space, knowing exactly where she was going. Okay, maybe not exactly enough to follow her, not that she could jump, even if Kate had tried to teach her. Hell she didn't even know his name or what part of the city he lived in. "I need to ask more questions." Still Alexis got up and stepped into the shower. Much like Kate it was her favorite place in the house. The feel of the hot water hitting her body made her feel better.

Only minutes later Alexis was slightly bent over and had her hand up against the shower wall for support as the fingers of her other hand worked feverously over the nub of her clitoris. She was close, so very close. Then she plunged two fingers inside of her and that was enough as she called out and moved her hips as she slowly wound down from her orgasm.

Alexis pulled out her fingers and licked them clean, loving the taste of herself. Maybe she really was a lesbian. Maybe that was why she couldn't see the attraction of the men in the house or truly understand what her mother saw in this human male she had obviously jumped out to go see. She placed her fingers back on her core and started rubbing her clitoris again.

She worked herself up into another orgasm in almost record time. She was now so weak in the knees that she was barely standing. Alexis lifted her fingers back up to her mouth and licked them clean again and finished washing, before stepping out and drying herself off and getting dressed. Alexis had promised her mother to do something today. Plus she wanted to talk with Solomon about those Lycan rounds again. She had an idea.

Kate jumped to the space in front of Castle's door out in the hallway. She could have jumped into his living room but she decided it was early in his training and she would give him a break because of that. She knocked on his door. They were going to be late and risked not getting in at all in which case it would be time for plan B.

She didn't get an answer the first time, or the second or the third, and now she was pissed. He had been told to be ready and he clearly wasn't. Maybe an amendment to plan A was called for. She jumped from the hallway into his living room and didn't see him so she went to his bedroom, thinking he better be here or she would skip straight to plan C.

Kate found him on his bed still in his clothes. She was at first a little confused until she saw the bottle of pills and the bottle of Scotch that was half empty. "OH, GOD, CASTLE, NOT LIKE THIS!" Her heart sank into her stomach, well, what was left of her stomach since she didn't eat or drink anymore. Unless you counted blood as a drink.

It only then hit Kate just how much of her heart she had sunk into this man, how much hope she had built up because of him. She knew he was hurting, it was partly what drew her to him. That and his getting mugged on the sidewalk that day by 5 thugs. "DAMN IT CASTLE!" It looked like it was time for plan D now. The adjustment to his apartment would have to wait.

It was time to take charge. If she was going to keep Castle alive and her heart in one piece, he was going to have to accept her accelerated training course. For that however she needed a few items and a change of clothes.

Kate jumped back to her bedroom and stepped into her closet and stripped off her clothes that were meant to impress and into clothes that were meant to show dominance. It simply took a little longer to get into them than the others.

She threw her 8-inch heels with 3-inch platforms onto the bed, followed by her red and black leather corset with real bone ribbing (never buy a corset that has acrylic ribbing. With bone ribbing they warm up to you and adjust to your form, allowing you to cinch it up tight. If you did that with acrylic, they would just break) that was laced up the back, not an easy task to accomplish with just one person. That was followed by two different whips. Moving to the dresser she pulled out a G-string, black leather garter belt and stockings. Opening another drawer she took out two different sized dildos that were battery operated along with the necessary anal lube.

Kate stood there and debated what else. She had lots of lube and she wasn't leaving Castle tonight until she was sure that he understood his new place in their relationship. Because of Castle had done, she knew she needed what she had ordered on line and it wouldn't get here for another couple of days. But she needed it now!

She sighed and jumped to a store that she knew about that was closed at this time of day and started searching it till she found exactly what she wanted. And then went looking for the proper lube for the tube it came with. Kate left $60 on the counter, not bothering to look at how much it actually cost and jumped back to their bedroom.

Since she was already naked, on went the g-string, followed by the garter belt, and then the stockings. The corset took a little more time. Kate tightened it so that she actually had to inhale to finish tying it closed. Next came the shoes that would allow her to tower over Castle. She was never so happy to have long legs as she was now. These shoes really increased her height dramatically.

Kate picked up her stuff and jumped back to Castle's bedroom, finding him exactly where she had left him. She had already figured out that his attempt at suicide had failed when she could make out his chest rising and falling. A search of the drug bottle confirmed that the idiot had only taken a few of the pills instead of all of them, and thanked her lucky stars. She flushed them and any other pills she found in his bathroom down the drain. The bottle of Scotch soon followed.

Now with whip in hand, she stood there looking down on Castle's sleeping form. God, but she was still pissed at him for doing this to her…to them. Even if there wasn't a them just yet. It was only that to Kate there already was. And here she thought she had made good progress yesterday. Now she was going to have to stay here all night to make sure Castle understood his place in all this.

Castle was hers and he was going to learn that, period.

Kate lifted what amounted to being a riding crop and whacked Castle in the leg. "WAKE UP CASTLE." All that happened was his leg jumped a little and he moaned. So Kate lifted the crop a little higher and whacked him a lot harder this time, hard enough to leave a welt this time. "WAKE UP CASTLE!" Kate yelled at him at the same time.

This time Rick shot upright in bed. "OW!" He felt that last one. "Kate?" He might be up but his brain wasn't fully awake yet.

"Whack." She hit him with the riding crop again. "OW! …What did you do that for?" He rubbed his leg where she had hit him.

"Whack." She hit him again. "OW! Will you stop doing that?" He was becoming annoyed.

"Whack." Kate hit Castle yet again. "OW!" Rick looked at her, mad as hell now. "What was that for?" 'And the ones before that!' he thought.

Kate folded her arms in front of her. "What's my name Castle?" She started with a simple question. He had it right yesterday, she wondered if he could remember it today.

"Kate, your name is Kate." Rick left off the DUH part.

"Whack!" It happened so fast that Castle never even saw it coming. "OW! …Your name is Kate." Rick was sure that was right.

"Whack!" She hit him again for his wrong answer. "OW!" Rick rubbed the spot that she kept hitting. "I'm Mistress Kate to you, Castle, and you better start learning it." She crossed her arms across her chest again.

"Why are you dressed like that?" Rick had to admit that he liked it, he liked it a lot. Kate didn't have large breasts, but what she did have were on display, just short of showing her nipples. And he loved the slender waist that the corset gave her. And those legs!

"Whack!" Kate hit him again for not asking for permission to ask her a question. "OW!" Rick had had just about enough of this. "Did I give you permission to ask me a question Castle? Did I?" she countered and informed him of one of the rules.

"I need permission to talk to you?" Rick couldn't believe it, just who did she think she was anyway?

"Whack!" She hit him once again, which this time got a little of his fingers since they were in the way. "OW! …Now cut that out." Rick knew if she hit him one more time, woman or no, he was taking that damn thing away from her.

He didn't know how but suddenly he found himself lying face down on his bed with Kate sitting ON him. Kate dropped her whip on the bed and started spanking him like the bad boy that he was for trying to kill himself.

"I don't know why..." Smack, smack, smack. "That you tried to kill yourself..." Smack, smack, smack. ",Castle and at the moment..." Smack, smack, smack. "I don't care." Smack, smack, smack. "I'll stop only when you ask me nicely Castle, and only then." Kate raised her hand and held it.

God, but his ass hurt. Finally some part of his brain remembered something. Between his sobs he begged, "Please stop, Mistress Kate." He begged since he had already tried with all his strength to buck her off his back, like a wild bull in a rodeo.

She was pleased that Castle had finally used her name since she didn't really want to hurt Castle, but he needed to learn who was in charge now. Kate got up just enough to spin him onto his back and his sore ass. She took his hands and pinned him to the bed.

"I'm beyond pissed at you, Castle, for that little stunt. Maybe you don't care about your life, but I do. Are you listening, Castle? I'm going to make this easy for you to understand. I'm in charge now, you will do exactly what I tell you to do from now on. You're going to keep on living, Castle, because if you succeed in killing yourself, I'm going to kill you.

"Do you understand me Castle?" Kate leaned way down and was looking straight into his eyes and waited for him to respond, correctly. "Yes," Rick whimpered.

"Yes what, Castle?" Kate glared at him. "Yes, Mistress Kate." He tried again and got kissed ever so softly by his Mistress as she soothed his lips with her tongue and moved to gently kissing his face. "There are rewards for good behavior, Castle," Kate whispered into his ear and playfully nipped it, not drawing blood.

Kate moved to the foot of the bed and removed his shoes and then reached beneath him to undo his belt and his pants. She moved back to the foot of the bed and pulled his pants off.. She reached up and carefully removed his boxers and saw just how red his ass had gotten. Kate could almost make out her own palm print.

She rolled Castle over onto his back causing him to let out a small cry of pain when his ass met the comforter on the bed. Kate spread his legs out wide and started kissing and licking her way up his left leg. When she reached his manhood he was already engorged and ready for her. She blew on his erection causing it to spasm and she cupped his balls. Then she moved down the other leg and worked her way back up it, kissing and licking as she went.

Finally Kate started massaging his erection and switched to massaging his balls, listening to Castle moan for a different reason this time. She lapped one long lick from the base of his balls to the tip of his erection. She started licking up and down his erection till finally she took the tip of his erection in her mouth and swirled her tongue around the head. She went back to licking up and down his erection till it was completely wet, spitting on it a little to speed up the process.

Then Kate placed the head of his erection in her mouth and swirled her tongue around the tip again, this time paying close attention to the opening at the tip. She plunged it down her throat taking all of his erection into her mouth till her nose hit the base of his shaft, causing Castle to loudly moan in pleasure.

Kate slid his erection out of her mouth letting the head out with a pop, before she started licking up and down the sides again. This time there was a tiny bit of pre-come on the tip that she lapped up causing her eyes to roll back into her head.

'My god, his mouth tastes good when we kiss, his come tastes even better, and then there is the taste of his blood,' Kate thought to herself. She was in trouble if ever Castle figured out what the taste of him did to her.

She took the tip of his erection back into her mouth and swirled her tongue around it and paid special attention to the slit at the tip while her one of her hands massaged his balls. Finally she let his erection pop out of her mouth. "You can only come when I tell you to Castle. You come before that and there will be hell to pay," Kate told him and pushed his sore ass around a bit so that it scraped across the comforter, causing him a little pain.

"Do you understand Castle? Not until I tell you that you can," she told him again. "Answer me Castle," she demanded and grabbed his balls.

"Yes, …I understand," Rick answered. "Yes, what Castle?" Kate squeezed his balls just a little tighter, causing a sudden hint of pain.

Rick tried to think fast between the pain and the pleasure. "Yes, yes what?" he thought. "Yes, Mistress Kate," he finally told her.

She went back to work on his erection, licking and shoving it down her throat only to then kiss and lick the tip and tried to open his slit with her tongue and shove it down that same hole.

Rick was soon squirming all over the bed forcing Kate to try and keep up. "Think about my poor ass, my poor ass." He was doing everything he could not to come, but it was soon going to be a lost cause. If Kate - scratch that - if Mistress Kate didn't let him come soon he didn't know what she was going to do to him, since his ass was already on fire.

"Please Kate. …Please Mistress Kate, let me come. I need to come so badly. P-L-E-A-S-E!" he begged while crying a little. She simply smiled and took one of his balls in her mouth and swirled her tongue around it while slowly stroking his erection, rubbing her finger over the tip.

Kate could feel Rick literally shaking as he tried not to come like he had been told, however she could see his come starting to leak out the tip. She began massaging his balls and stroked his erection quickly with her other hand with a specific result in mind.

"Come for me Castle. I want to see your come hit the ceiling." She kept stroking his erection while massaging his balls. His tip turned a darker color as she watched her hand stroking his erection. "Come for me Castle, come for me, … NOW!"

Kate looked down and saw his toes curl as he cried out and lifted his still sore ass up off of the bed and climaxed. She watched as his white come spurted out high up into the air before falling back down and landing on his chest. Spurt after spurt. It made Kate pray that Castle was good enough to make her squirt. She hadn't had sex with someone else in such a very long time.

She stroked his erection and massaged his balls until Castle calmed down and no more come came out of his erection. She placed his erection in her mouth and tried to suck him dry. She was rewarded with a little bit of come, which tasted so very good.

She released his erection and his balls and worked her way up his chest licking up all of his come off his chest. She moaned from how damn good it tasted till she reached Castle's mouth. "Do you remember how to kiss me Castle?" she asked him while looking at his lips.

Rick answered by lifting his head up to meet her lips while wrapping his arms around her and pulling her down to him with a tender softness and kissed her, just like he had kissed her last night. She felt her eyes roll back into her head. Castle remembered how to kiss her alright. Between the kiss, the taste of his mouth, and the taste of his come, Kate couldn't help but nick his lip with her fang causing it to bleed a little. She moaned as she sucked his blood from his wound while he kissed her.
