Revenge

Rick slid his hand down Kate’s arm, took her hand, and wordlessly led her down the hallway to the bedroom. Rick could feel the slight tremor in Kate's hand and he gave it a reassuring squeeze. She’d chased down killers, kicked in doors and interrogated some of New York's most threatening criminals but she was afraid of the floodgates that would open when Rick touched her. This was different from their first time, Kate had handed Rick complete and total control over her. Her independence was hard won; she was a woman in a man’s world and damn good at what she did.

“You only need to say the word, Kate and I will stop.” Rick said solemnly and Kate knew she was in safe hands. Rather amazingly she was not scared, a bit apprehensive yes but not scared. She knew Rick would not hurt her, drive her out of her mind maybe, but not hurt her.

“I know,” she said stroking his jaw “but tonight I'm yours, to do with what you want.” Rick felt his cock leap at her words; it was something he never thought he’d hear Kate Beckett say. He gently tugged Kate's red boat neck top out of her charcoal grey trousers. In her heels, she was close to Rick's height, which was more of a turn on than she could ever know. Lightly he raked his nails up her stomach as he inched her top higher and higher. Her flat stomach came into view followed by a dark purple bra. Her mother’s ring was nestled between her breasts. Rick pulled the top over Kate's head and stared mesmerised as she shook out her hair. The dark chestnut tresses fell wild and free around her shoulders. Carefully Rick unclasped the necklace that held Johanna’s ring and put it on Kate’s dresser. “For safe keeping” he replied in answer to Kate’s quizzical look. Stepping into her personal space, he unbuckled Kate’s narrow black belt and slid it through the belt loops on her pants. Teasingly he slid his knuckles down her stomach, slipped his fingers under the band, flicked open the button and pulled the zipper down.

It was the only sound in the room besides their breathing. The rasp of the metal seemed so loud but Rick never broke eye contact with Kate as he pushed the fabric past her hips and it slithered to pool at her feet. Rick crouched down and untangled her feet one at a time, then tossed her pants over the back of a nearby chair leaving her clad in a dark purple bra and lacy boy leg panties. The lace hugged Kate’s hips snugly Rick grinned as Kate sucked in her stomach at his teasing touch. ‘Ticklish?’ He couldn’t help wondering and vowed to find out later. Conveniently, the bra was a front closure, which Rick unhooked with a deft flick of his wrist. Kate gasped and instinctively covered her breasts with her hands as her bra fell to the ground. Rick doubted he’d ever seen anything sexier than Kate Beckett standing there in nothing but wicked high heels, a pair of panties and a smile.

Rick gave her a feral grin as he walked her backwards until her legs hit the edge of the mattress and she tumbled onto it. Rick crawled up her body careful not to crush Kate as he pinned her down.

“I’m going to make you scream your pleasure over and over again.” He whispered in Kate's ear. She shuddered with the promise in his words. “I'm going to feast on your gorgeous body until you beg and plead for me to make love to you.” Kate closed her eyes at the images he was effortlessly bringing to life. “I’m going to strip away the layers you surround yourself with and reveal the sexy erotic goddess you really are.” Kate had no doubt he would do exactly as he promised. Refusing to show how his words affected her Kate boldly stared up at Rick’s blue eyes, which had darkened with his lust. “I'm hearing the words, Castle, not seeing any action.”

Rick grinned leaned down, his mouth inches from hers asked “Where are our toys Kate?” with those five words Kate felt her body clench in arousal.
