The case was finally solved. It had taken them longer than usual to find the bastard.
He’d killed five women simply leaving them at random places all over the town.
Even Castle’s seldom flashes of inspiration had failed them and Kate Beckett had felt like she was running down an alley even though she knew it was a dead end before she started moving.
They were interrogating the wrong people for the wrong reasons until one morning she had shown up.
Blonde, sea-green eyes and strikingly gorgeous.
Cara Mason, a private investigator, who’d been hired by a grieving family, was already close. She was right at the murderer’s heels and it was one more hint she needed to nail him down.
Well, she’d walked right into Kate Beckett’s office offering her help.
They’d agreed to work together because they knew that each of them may have the crucial information that was missing.
Throughout the investigation Kate Beckett’d found herself suppressing a laugh more than once. Cara Mason’s sarcastic and right-to-the-point comments had even rendered Richard Castle speechless.
In fact she was brilliant. The blonde could assess a crime scene with a single look.
Her attitude had been professional and distanced the entire time, but Kate had felt like the blonde was watching her whenever she wasn’t looking.
It was Friday night and the office was empty. Castle had left hours ago, probably spending time with his daughter or some nameless woman.
Kate was going through some paperwork, wrapping up the case so it could be presented to court the next day. She was tired and her sight became bleary. Leaning back and stretching her arms above her head she yawned.
“Still up?”
The low voice startled the detective, almost causing her to fall over.
The blonde chuckled while Kate composed herself taking in the sight in front of her.
“Miss Mason, I didn’t expect to see you again.”
“I was actually wondering if anyone was interested in going out for a drink, but I guess Detective Esposito and Detective Ryan have already left.”
For some unknown reason Kate felt a pang of jealousy running down her spine causing her to sit up straight.
“Yes they’re already headed home.”
“So, what about you?”
“What?”
“Care to go to a bar? Have a drink? Alcohol is recommended after a rather fucked up case.”
Kate found herself smirking. Why the hell not?
“Sure.” She grabbed her jacket and the next thing she knew is that she was heading out to a bar with Cara Mason.
…
Of course, she should have known. The blonde was attracting every single man in the room. It was a rather classy bar but those guys behaved like they were still in puberty.
Kate sipped some of her whiskey enjoying the way it burned down her throat. Cara was just fending off her latest admirer turning to the beautiful detective next to her.
They’d occupied two seats at the bar starting a pleasant conversation but Kate was annoyed beyond reason because of the constant interruptions.
“I think I should go home, it’s late and it’s been a long day…”
“We could call a cab” Cara suggested. She was more than ready to leave this place even though she wasn’t willing to give up the brunette’s company yet.
They stopped at Kate’s apartment first. She got out of the cab turning around ready to say goodbye to Cara but the blonde got out of the car too.
She went around the cab stopping in front of Kate.
“Good job with the case. I usually don’t mix my professional life with my private life, but the case is solved and I’m free to do whatever I want…”
Cara stepped into Kate’s personal space causing the detective to retreat until her back leaned against the car.
Cara simply followed her, leaning closer and closer until their lips met. It was a slow almost chaste kiss, the blonde was giving Kate the chance to pull back or knock her out. Whichever she considered appropriate.
Kate Beckett’s mind reeled. She’d known that she’d been attracted to Cara from the very first moment but there was a distinct difference between daydreaming about kissing her and actually kissing her.
Did she want this? Her body certainly did and her head was slowly shutting down while feeling those impossible soft lips on hers.
The taxi driver was impatiently honking. Cara retreated, waiting.
“Would you like to come up for a coffee?” the detective heard herself say.
“Yes I’d like that very much.”
Cara paid the cab man and he drove off. He was quite excited to tell his partner about the incident with the two women making out on his taxi.
“I read Heat Wave.”
Kate was fumbling with the keys at her apartment door and her thoughts were rather occupied so she couldn’t quite respond to the blonde’s statement.
“Huh?”
“I read the book, you know about Nikki Heat. I was wondering about that scene, where the cop has sex with the author. Did you and Castle ever…?”
Kate turned around her face defensive. “No absolutely not. I’ve never slept with Castle.”
Cara smirked. “I was just wondering.”
The detective finally managed to open the door and they stepped inside.
“Would you like something to drink?”
Why was she so nervous? It was not the first time she’d slept with a woman, sure it’d been a while but Kate was still holding on to her keys as if she was about to leave again.
“Yes” Cara answered huskily, but instead of waiting for the actual drink she grabbed Kate’s jacket and pulled it off.
The brunette was still facing the apartment so Cara pressed herself against Kate’s backside gently kissing her now exposed neck.
Positively surprised she dropped the keys and leaned back into the blonde’s touch. It’d been definitely way too long.
“Cara?”
“Hmm?” The blonde was blissfully nibbling at the skin beneath the detective’s ear.
“It’s been a long day and I haven’t seen a shower from the inside yet.”
It was really hard to focus on what she was saying because Cara’s lips and teeth were very distracting.
“Didn’t notice” Cara murmured withdrawing. “Well I’m not going to stop you. We have all night.”
The blonde’s smile was intoxicating and especially endearing because Kate hadn’t really seen it throughout the last couple of days.
She excused herself hurrying over to the bathroom. It was already bothering her that she was making Cara wait, but the least she could do was smell good.
Her clothes were scattered on the bathroom floor while she enjoyed the calming warmth of the water.
She had a bathtub with a shower curtain because that kind of tub had saved her life once. The new one also had a little seat where she could relax while the water cascaded down her body.
She closed her eyes and imagined Cara naked in the throes of passion. How’d she gotten this lucky?
Kate didn’t notice how the shower curtain was pulled aside until she felt soft hands caressing her back. Her eyes flew open.
“Too fast?” Cara whispered into her ear.
Her heart almost jumped out of her chest. Was the blonde naked as well?
Warm hands traveled upwards gently massaging her tense shoulders. The brunette shook her head. “Perfect” she murmured while her head dropped forwards.
Cara took her time to release the tension from the other woman’s shoulders. She’d sensed that the brunette was nervous, but she knew many ways to relax another person.
Warm water and a massage were a good start.
After taking care of an especially hard knot she let her hands wander. Down a shapely back to a firm ass. Cara pressed her breasts into the brunette’s back while her fingertips traveled up and down the other woman’s inner thighs.
Kate’s breathing had already become hitched. The sensations flooding her body were almost overwhelming.
“Turn around.”
As the detective turned to face Cara she gasped because of the beauty before her.
The blonde’s eyes were hooded clearly enjoying the sight as well.
They shared a passionate kiss. Cara’s tongue demanding entrance to her mouth.
Their tongues stroked, pushed and probed equally only drawing back in the need of air. They locked eyes for a single moment but Cara lowered her lips again to Kate’s throat gently licking and nibbling there.
She ventured further south finding already erect nipples and ran her flattened tongue across the underside of Kate’s breast causing the taller woman to gasp.
The brunette had to steady herself by placing her hands against the walls of the shower.
Cara’s gentle licks on her nipples caused her to arch her back letting out a long moan, the water cascading down both their bodies only adding to the delicious contact of skin on skin.
Cara pushed Kate to sit down on the molded seat of the shower and kneeled on the floor all the while trailing kisses down a well defined stomach.
She finally reached the detective’s thighs planting kisses on the delicate skin there.
Kate was already squirming, barely able to remain in her seated position.
The water was now hitting her breasts and the tips of her nipples. She leaned her head back and whimpered silently.
Cara’s mouth watered at the sight of Kate’s glistening folds before her. She licked her lips hungrily massaging the other woman’s inner thighs with her hands.
Leaning closer she inhaled the delicious scent sending her senses into overdrive.
Not being able to hold back any longer Cara ran her tongue through heated folds.
Kate let out a loud scream at the first contact, her body vibrating with a feeling she’d been missing for a long time.
Cara kept licking the sensitive flesh, alternating between sucking on her clit and teasing her folds.
It didn't take long before she had the other woman panting, writhing and pleading.
“Please, inside…”
Cara complied. She pushed her tongue as deep as possible into Kate’s center. The soft walls clenched immediately around the intruding muscle.
Cara smiled lightly and curled her tongue inwards drawing uncontrolled moans from the brunette.
Just as her teeth scraped across Kate’s engorged clit the other woman shattered around her tongue, releasing more delicious juices.
Her body shook with the power of her orgasm causing her to lose her grip on the shower wall.
She slid out of the slippery seat ending up directly in Cara’s arms.
It took a while until the brunette was able to speak again. They were both sitting in the tub, the water still raining down on them. Cara had her arms and legs safely wrapped around the detective while Kate’s head rested on the blonde’s shoulder.
“That was incredible…” she breathed. Cara only smiled.
They both got up a little awkward and climbed out of the tub.
They dried each other with soft towels in companionable silence.
After they’d mostly dried Kate grabbed Cara’s wrist and led her to the bedroom.
With new found confidence she pushed the blonde onto the mattress following her in a feline fashion.
Cara was a little surprised by the new attitude but she was just as aroused.
Kate spread herself above Cara without touching her. She simply enjoyed the sight of the blonde. Waiting, expectant and breathing heavily.
They both felt the heat of each other’s body. Kate started moving a little brushing her nipples over Cara’s. The blonde trembled.
“God Cara you’re so beautiful” she whispered in awe letting her fingertips travel from Cara’s eyebrow to the corner of her mouth.
“Touch me. I need you to… touch me…” Cara wanted to feel the detective’s hands on her body unlike anything else.
With a mischievous glint in her eyes Kate’s hand traveled down Cara’s body along her side to her hips, resting there for a moment before crawling towards the spot where Cara wanted her most.
With unexpected forwardness Kate pushed two fingers into Cara’s throbbing center. The blonde moaned closing her eyes.
The brunette found a steady rhythm while Cara met every thrust with her hips.
“Harder…”
Kate almost missed the whispered word while her teeth bit down on Cara’s right nipple.
She pulled her fingers out almost the entire way adding a third one and pushing inside again.
Cara’s eyes were tightly shut while her back arched. “Yes” she hissed.
“Look at me” the detective commanded. Sea-green eyes flew open locking with hazel colored ones.
Reaching deep inside of Cara curling inwards Kate leaned down and kissed the blonde passionately. She bit down on that luxurious lower lip and Cara’s walls pulled her fingers impossibly deeper while she came hard and fast.
Long moans floated through the room while the blonde’s body trembled with ecstasy.
Kate pulled out gently as the last tremors subsided. Cara let out a small noise of protest but soft lips on her throat soothed the loss.
…
“Who in hell is at your door at this ungodly hour?” The blonde groaned while tightening the hold on the body in her arms.
“Dunno…” came the sleepy reply. Kate Beckett was still exhausted from the nightly activities and she wasn’t ready to leave bed. Cara’s warm embrace was too calming and comforting to actually get up.
Another knock sounded on the door, this time louder and more persistent.
“I’ll get it. Don’t mind if I kill whoever is on other side do you?”
Kate chuckled. “No stay, they’ll go away.”
Knock, knock.
The blonde got up, grabbing a silken sleeping gown and walked to the door. She unlocked it and yanked it open. “What do you want?” she growled.
A completely startled Castle could not form a single word. The sight in front of him cut short all of his thoughts. It didn’t even occur to him to ask what a half naked Cara Mason was doing in Beckett’s apartment at seven in the morning.
“Murder… Beckett’s phone off…” he mumbled. Cara rolled her eyes. “Come in. I’ll go get her.”
Kate was almost asleep again so Cara crawled onto the bed gently kissing closed eyes, lips, throat and chest.
“I like waking up like that…” a smiling detective declared.
“I know. Castle’s outside. There was a murder, your phone was off. Time for work.”
Kate groaned. “No. Don’t wanna…”
Cara smiled. This side of Detective Kate Beckett was new but no less endearing.
The brunette suddenly sat up straight. “Wait. Castle’s out there? He saw you?”
“That a problem?”
“Ah… no. It’s just… I’m… no. It’s fine. Sorry.” She raked a hand through her disheveled hair.
“Get dressed. I’ll make coffee.” Cara placed another kiss on Kate’s lips before leaving.
It took her less than twenty minutes to step into her living room fully dressed while fastening the gun at her hip.
Cara was sitting on the couch, the sleeping gown revealing more skin than hiding it.
Castle’s expression was a mixture between shock and arousal.
She walked over to the blonde and took the offered cup with steaming coffee.
“I’m sorry this is…” she waved towards Castle but Cara shook her head. “It’s your job, believe me I get it.”
Kate smiled and bent down to place a gentle kiss on Cara’s lips.
“See you later?”
“Yes.”
As Castle and Beckett excited the apartment Cara heard the tall author murmur something like “That’s so going to be in the next book.”
…
When Kate Beckett returned to her apartment that night she found it empty. She was a little sad but not overly surprised even though it would’ve been nice to return to someone waiting.
She found a note on the fridge.
K.
Got a job in Las Vegas. Shouldn’t take too long.
Will be back in about four weeks.
Hope to see you then.
C.
Kate smiled. She knew that she would be impatiently waiting the next four weeks to finally see the blonde private investigator again. It was going to be a sweet torture.
The End.
A/N: this might get continued at some point in time, depending on how people liked it. I had fun writing it.
