So, since all of you asked for a second Chapter to see Castle's thoughts, here goes. I hope I did it justice and it#s not too bad, so just let me know at the end of it how good/bad it was! Thanks again for all of the reviews, favs and alerts! I really appreciate it :D

Also, I still don't know if I should upload the upcoming One Shots to this one or put them seperatily. So, please tell me what you guys would prefer, ok? That'd be amazing!


He wanted something new. Every time it was the exact same and it bored him to no end. He needed something new. So, when he heard yet another woman calling out his name, he prepared himself for the usual. Pen in hand, he turned around and put on his most charming smile. He had not expected the NYPD. And certainly not someone looking like her. NYPD or not, his grin didn't fade right away. Only after she mentioned the murders.


He watched her closely as she talked about the murder scenes. There was a glint in her eyes and a small smile on her lips. She sounded as proud as she looked. His grin widened. She was a hardcore fan. The books these murder scenes were out of were his earlier works and they sucked even in his own opinion. He couldn't help himself as he pointed it out. Castle could see the change going on in her face as she slowly realized she had busted herself. This was going to be a lot of fun.

As sad as those murders were, he was excited about it. Someone killing like he had written it down was the best thing that could have happened. Well,notforthevictimsoranythingbut ... No, he couldn't make much more sense out of it. Murders were tragic and as bad as it may sounded he did feel slightly... honoured that his books had been chosen as the model. Maybe he'd finally get something written again. This surely seemed like the perfect opportunity to get inspiration.


Blue. The dress in his books had been blue, not yellow. He had noticed it right away but since she was still talking, he didn't say anything until she was finished. Talking to the ME he could tell she was familiar with his books and him, of course but then again, who wasn't really? He was famous after all. He had a lot of fun stating out the fact he could see and impress the two women standing next to each other, looking down at the vic and then at him.


He liked her. A lot. First impression were important to him and she had left one of a kind. That didn't exactly stop him from sneaking into the precinct and get a file, though. He had told her he found it cute when her brow furrowed when she was thinking and he had meant it. Although he couldn't deny that shewas cute. He heard her coming seconds later and got up, smiling brightly at her.

On instinct he had leaned forward to place a soft kiss on the corner of her mouth. He was going for the cheek first but decided against it in the end. And she hadn't moved at all. He wasn't exactly sure if that was a good sign or not but she hadn't shot him or otherwise hurt him in any way, so his guess was that it was not a bad sign. He smiled at her again and passed her, not seeing the smile that spread across her face.


He sat at the desk and studied the file he had taken with him. Wondering how long it would take her to notice and/or find him, he smiled when the doors sprung open behind him and Kate loudly announced herself. Yes, this was definitely fun. A lot of fun. Perhaps a bit too much but he didn't care. He started to like her more and more. She was clever and beautiful. He should have known that she was going to arrest him but truth to be told, he couldn't bring himself to actually care. All he wanted to know was how she had found him- not that he had ever doubted she would. Then it hit him. She had called his mother. Traitor.


Case closed. Thank God. He had liked this more than he was supposed to but being in good company it was really hard not to. He was sad, though. It meant he wouldn't get to see her again anytime soon, probably. He smiled at her when she turned towards him. Staying true to his playboy image he asked her if she'd like to spend a bit more time with him that night. He had expected nothing else than her actual answer. He gave her his most charming smile and went for a last try. Her next step, however, did surprise him. He didn't think she'd step up to him and throw something like this in his face. He liked it. He liked that about her. The way she was not at all impressed by him or his words but was able to get back at him. He had missed something like this in his life.


He couldn't sleep. Instead, he was writing again. The first time in a while. He had made a note to call the mayor later. She had fascinated him and he wanted to stay around her a while longer. He had chosen her as his new muse. She probably wouldn't like it but it was not like her cared.

It was then when he heard the soft knock on his door. Who was that at this hour? He got up to open the door only to find Kate standing there, waiting not so patiently for him.

"How did you know?" she asked as soon as he had opened the door.

He was confused. It was late, what was she doing here and what was she even talking about? She didn't look as if she had slept at all, tried maybe but not very successfully. She pushed herself past him not even waiting for him to invite her in. He blinked a few times before closing the door and turning around, having his best smile waiting for her to see.

"Good evening to you, too, Detective."

He knew she'd roll her eyes at him so when she did his grin widened a tiny bit. He already knew how she ticked. At least a bit. He caught her staring at him, or rather checking him out from what he could tell.

"Are you checking me out, Detective?" He asked laughing silently.

She shook her head vehemently. Castle guessed she wanted to convince him she actually meant it. He was sure she was lying. He knew when he was getting checked out and she had definitely been checking him out just now.

"So, what did I know?" He asked again, still confused about why she was standing in his loft.

"About...That it would have been great."

He could see how she mentally slapped herself. He also knew it wasn't what she had meant and it wasn't the reason she was there. He decided to play along with this one. He preferred it over the other one anyway and since she had started with the topic again on her own, he could just take the opportunity to see how far he could go with her.

He stepped closer to her, his eyes never leaving hers. He saw her slowly stepping back although she didn't tear her gaze away from him. It wasn't like before and she could tell. He had to chuckle to himself when she walked backwards into the bookshelf. He was standing right in front of her mere seconds later and had her trapped. She looked up at him, involuntarily biting her lip like she had earlier that day. Why did she have to do that? He found it extremely irresistible. Castle could tell she was about to ask him something, probably what on earth he was doing but she must had figured out by then that he was about to kiss her again. It's not like he could help himself right there. He smiled softly as he leaned in further, his hand found a nice spot on her wait and his lips softly brushed over hers. His heart was racing and his stomach tingled. He smiled into the kiss, especially since he found her kissing him back. What was he doing? He knew the woman for a few days only and yet he was actually kissing her. Just like that. And she was kissing him back. His mind shut off a moment later. He could think later.

He extended his hand for her to take and smiled slightly. His eyes were soft but serious and he saw her internal struggle as she hesitated a few seconds. He wasn't sure what he was doing. He usually wasn't like that. Sure, he had countless women who were interested in a night with him. He was famous after all but especially since Alexis he hadn't taken anyone home with him. If he did, he actually dated her. He knew that she liked her at least a bit or he'd be lying on the ground, most likely bleeding for even trying to kiss her. But they had kissed. She had let him and she had returned the kiss. And he liked her too. He knew that and he wasn't one to deny the obvious. He heard Kate's sigh and saw her shy smile before she slowly lay her hand inside his for him to take the lead for the night. He could regret later.


So, what did you think of it? This was rather hard for me to write so I hope you guys liked it :)

Leave me a review with your thoughts, will ya?

Infos for the upcoming One Shots: I decided to keep the writing style for the series of One Shot's I'll be writing, unless you really don't like it at all. It's not how I usually write but it has some sort of dynamic that fits perfectly, I think. So, instead of writing two Chapters for each, I'll simply combine what I'd write for both. I hope it won#t be too confusing but we'll have to see for that, I suppose.
