Chapter 4
OOC for Josh, and yes, I meant to make him sound like a total jerk. I wrote it a bit more child like I guess you could say?
Kate hadn't even taken in the words properly when there was a knock at the door, before she heard it being opened. "Kate, I'm back!" she heard Josh yelling.
"Shit!" she half whispered and looked into Rick's eyes, who were also quite worried.
"Go Kate, I'll stay here. You- You are going to take care of him… right? You're going to break up with him?" Rick hesitated. It wasn't like he wanted her to be with Josh, but he made her cheat on him. And he knew how much that hurt. Not like they and Gina ever worked out really, but he never wanted to do it to someone else. And now he, they, did.
"Yes! Of course Rick. I- I love you…" she said as she looked into his eyes once more before letting him slip out of here, still inside of her from her extensive round of love making. She moaned before hearing Josh call out again. "Kate? Where are you?"
"I'm in the bathroom! Give me a sec." she yelled back as she put a towel around her before putting on her silk bordeaux robe. She gave Rick a soft peck. "I'll be back soon babe. I'm sorry…"
"No Kate, I'm sorry." Rick said as he stood up as well, and took a towel to dry himself off.
Kate walked out the door and into the living room where Josh was waiting for her.
"Hey Kate," he smiled at her, eyes roaming over her body. She looked damn fine in that robe.
"Hey Josh, I'm glad you're here, I wanted to talk to you." Kate said, arms crossed over her body. She couldn't help but feel a bit naked with him glaring at her. It's like he was going to pounce on her like she was his prey. She didn't like that look. Only now, she saw. Was that how he always looked at her? God…
"Okay Kate, shoot." He said as he walked closer towards her and put his arms around her. She stiffened up at the touch of him. She put a hand on his chest and pushed him away a bit.
"Josh, this isn't working." She stated clearly. But apparently not clearly enough.
"What do you mean, Kate?" Josh stated as he acted like he was clueless.
"I mean," she took a deep breath, "that we aren't working anymore. I think we need to be honest with each other and break up." Kate said it as straightforward and polite as possible.
"What, no! Kate, I love you, no. I'm not letting you go, you're mine." Josh's voice raised.
"No Josh, I'm not yours. I never was nor will I ever be. You'll find someone else who you'll truly love as much as she'll love you." Kate said as she looked up at him again. She had to be sure he understood.
"No, Kate, no. You're mine." He took a step forward, grabbing her in his arms, kissing her hard. Only to be disappointed that she did not kiss him back. "From the moment I laid eyes on you, I wanted to fuck you." He grinned and pulled her closer, grabbing her ass.
"Josh, let me go! God, everyone was right, you really are a jerk." She pushed him away.
"Come on Kate, you and I both know I'm not giving you up. You're the best I ever had, and I'm not letting that go." Josh grinned as he smacked Kate's hands away and pushed her up against the wall. "Now, greet me like you should." Josh smiled as he put his hand on her neck, thumb closing threatening around it. Kate struggled but he was damn strong. She tried to kick him where it hurt, but Josh didn't even seem to notice.
He pushed his mouth onto hers but she just bit his lip when he pushed his tongue past her lips. He cried out as he tasted the blood. "Dammit Kate!" he yelled and pushed himself into her.
She gasped, he was not just hurting her, but he was forcing himself onto her. And she didn't like it at all, but she couldn't move her arms. Rick! He was still there! If only Josh could stop kissing her and she could call for him…
Josh moved one of his hands to her breasts, over the robe, he slowly played with it. His other was still at her throat, lips devouring hers and his lower body blocking her from going anywhere. As if chocking her wasn't enough. He was too damn strong for her to just push away. And she knew that.
He realized she wasn't going to work with him, so he pushed her legs open with his own.
No! This can't be happening. Rick! Please Rick! Kate thought, her eyes wide open, full of panic.
Josh pushed the robe off of her shoulder and moved his lips from her lips to her neck, then to her shoulder and tried to mark her.
Kate tried to take a deep breath, but the hand on her throat made her lungs burn, and her voice a whisper. She needed that hand off… But how?
"Josh," she managed to get out, "I- I'll do whatever, just please, can't breathe…" she was gasping for air. Her head was starting to become light. The force of his hand had grown stronger when she tried to fight him. The only way she'd be able to call Castle, was if she worked with Josh and got that damn hand off…
Josh pulled back a little, but his hand remained on her throat, same for his leg in between hers. His knee had gone up against her, she wasn't wearing panties…
"Whatever I want? Even be my slut and let me fuck you?" Josh's eyes were full of lust and … almost hatred. She didn't get how he could turn out this way. How did she never see…?
Kate's jaw stiffened… If this didn't work, she'd get abused, raped. This had to work, but hell, she was already being abused!
"Yes baby, whatever. Please, can't… breathe." Kate gasped for air the moment Josh let her throat go, but he still had a good hold on her.
"I know what I want to do," Josh laughed, and he quickly spun her around which made her head knock into the wall. "I want to fuck you where no guy has ever done it before." He was grinning from ear to ear.
She could hear him unzipping his pants. Her eyes went wide when she felt him hard against her ass.
"Rick! RICK! Help!" Kate screamed for her life. Josh's eyes went wide.
"What the fuck? He can't hear you, Kate." He laughed by her ear as he put his hand on her throat again, pulling her head back and whispered in her ear. "Too late, slut." He grinned before pulling his dick out of his boxers and putting its tip at her asshole.
Rick was worried, and pacing the bathroom floor as he heard them talking, and then nothing. He didn't want to walk out of the bathroom because if they were still talking, he didn't want to interrupt them breaking up, and moving on. But he couldn't help but be worried… What if she was kissing him? What if he was mean to her? What if he knocked her out and walked out the door? What if-
He was pulled out of his thoughts by her scream. "RICK!" he heard. He rushed out the door, glad to be wearing clothes.
He froze when he saw her pushed up against the wall, Josh whispering something in her ear.
As soon as he realized what was going on, he ran towards them.
"Let her go you prick!" Rick yelled as he pulled Josh away from her. It was easy because Josh tripped over his pants pooled on the floor.
Kate slid down the wall, on the verge of tears. Still gasping for air. Rick pulled her up and carried her towards the couch and put her down. "Are you okay? I'll take care of him, don't you worry, love." Rick said as he kissed her forehead.
Josh in the meantime had stood up, pulled his pants up again, and was now face to face with Rick. "Get out of here Josh, and you'll get off with the police coming at your doorstep. You can still go to Africa in the meantime. If you don't, I promise you, you'll miss your teeth and be in the hospital yourself for quite some time." Rick was more than furious. He wanted to push the crap out of him, but he didn't.
"I can take you writer boy." Josh grinned.
Kate on the other hand, had enough of it, she opened the drawer where she kept her gun, and pulled it out on Josh.
"Josh, if you don't walk out that door right now, I swear to god I will shoot you." Kate spit the words at him. She got Josh's attention with them, at least. Rick took a step aside, making sure she had a clear shot, and making sure he couldn't come close to her at the same time.
Josh looked to be debating, before totally acting like it was nothing. "Hey, I'm out, just let me go."
While Josh walked to the door, Kate kept pointing the gun at him until he was out the door. Rick ran towards it as soon as it closed and locked it.
He turned back towards Kate who kept pointing her gun and focus on the door. After a minute, she finally lowered it, tears in her eyes. Rick walked towards her, took the gun from her, and put it aside before pulling her in for a hug, holding her up as she gave into her emotions overwhelming her and clung onto him.
"Hey Kate, it's okay. It'll be okay…" He soothed her, or tried to. There wasn't much he could do for her, other than make sure he didn't come back. He was going to do everything in his power not to let that bastard hurt her again.
"He didn't hurt you, did he?" Rick asked, already knowing the answer, but hoping he wasn't too late.
Kate shook her head lightly. "He didn't do what he actually wanted… you got there just in time. If you'd been a second later… God Rick, thank you." She said with her forehead resting on his chest.
"Of course Kate, I won't ever let him hurt you again. Never." Rick said as he lifted her chin.
Kate rose up to her toes, and places her lips softly against his.
"I love you, Rick."
"I love you more, Kate."
