Looks Can Kill

Four months without Castle is a lot to taken in. Therefore I decided to write a number of short sweet moments/stories to make the hiatus bearable. So you all stay with me. I will wait for your reviews before starting the next chapter, so do tell me whether I should continue or not. Each chapter would contain 3 short stories and I will update every alternate day. It will be more flirty as they know they love each other. These events take place after 'always' maybe in season 5.

The characters do not belong to me, Mr Marlowe is the creator.

It had been a long day with me finishing the paper work and Castle just sitting there watching me do it. With his big shiny love filled blue eyes and a small smile on his face, he was just watching me. People would consider it creepy but not me. I had grown to like it.

'Castle, I'm almost done...' I said, writing; flipping to the very last page now.

'Oh no... carry on, I'm not in a hurry' he said, now keeping his right elbow on the desk, hand supporting his chin. His gaze became more intense. His eyes had this craving in them. I kept my pen down at last to meet his gaze. Our eyes met and that's when I felt a magnetic pull towards him. I did not break the eye contact. His eyes had filled mine with the same love and craving. My eye balls slowly moved from his eyes, down his nose, to his lips. They were pink and moist. I bit my lips as I thought what it would feel like to have his over mine. Trying not to give in, I said-

'Done! So... wanna grab dinner?'

'Oh yaa, sure...' he said, standing up at once and helping me with my coat.

We walked towards the elevator with his hand grazing mine. We were alone and it was late. I gave him a side glance and thanks to our impeccable timing, he glanced at me too. It was like ice meeting fire - Steam... If just eye contact could do that, I wondered what body contact would do? Not thinking much about it, I intertwined my fingers through his. That's when our eyes lost contact and his gaze turned towards our hands. Now his look turned from craving to longing and so did mine. We stepped inside the elevator, not meeting eyes but still holding hands. Trust me! WE did not let go...

'So Old haunt?' I said to Castle, after the case was closed. I really needed a drink.

'Naah, I got dinner plans' he said, getting up from his chair. Yes! It was 'his' chair. It belonged only to him.

'Dinner plans? With whom?' I asked, a little confused but praying that he wasn't getting together again with his ex wife. Doesn't he get it that we are together now, which means no dating!

'Well, you should know...a very special woman, in fact, a very beautiful woman!' he said, his eyes lit up and they gave me the hint that this someone was very special. It couldn't have been Alexis or Martha because they were out on a college tour.

'Can I have a name?'' I asked, curiously.

'Why? You planning to do a background check?'' he said, laughing now. Okay! It was funny but not that funny!

'Not exactly...' I said, though I guess I would have.

'Why don't you join us, since you're so curious?' he asked. I knew he wanted to know why I was curious. He did not know that I was having images of him cheating on me in my mind.

'No, I am not going to spoil your date' I said sarcastically.

'Even if I say that my date is actually with a friend of mine from high school?' he said smiling at me. He maybe a play boy or a womanizer but I somewhere deep down knew that he would never betray me. I needed to trust him, actually I trusted him but I did not trust woman around him.

'Oh... then I would come! I wanna hear all about the Richard Rogers...' I said now staring at his blue eyes which were now shining brightly, making his face glow.

'Okay then!' he said, moving his hand around my back, holding me by the waist. The touch of his palm on my back gave me goose bumps. Looking into my eyes he softly said -

'You're my date tonight then'

I couldn't help but meet his eyes and for a moment there I just wanted to lean in and give him a kiss. But I guess, after the date I would do that, maybe I would do that in front of his friend, to show her that she was just a friend and nothing more. He was mine...

It was late and Kate and I were waiting for a cab. We were standing there and it was pouring heavily. She was holding an umbrella, but I wasn't. I was trying to hail a cab for her first but none would stop. She wasn't in a hurry and was just looking at me struggling, with an amused look on her face this time. After giving up, I walked towards her saying-

'Can you share?'

'I like watching you get wet, but I'm not that evil...' she said, making space for me to fit in.

'So you like the sight of me in a white but now wet-transparent shirt?' I said, smiling at her, curving my eyes a little teasingly. She just rolled her eyes and said-

'Shut up or I'll not share' but she couldn't suppress her smile.

'Detective Beckett you are so naughty!' I said, doing a little dance with my eyebrow. She lifted her eyelashes a little to see me and I just couldn't stop staring into her eyes. They were beautiful. The mascara did make her hazel eyes look even bigger. They were perfect. I moved a little closer, to prevent myself from getting wet. Now our noses were just a finger space apart from each other. I could feel her breath on my skin...warm. It smelt of hot coffee.

'Castle! Control your self...' she said. Well, it's because my head had already tilted a little, ready to give her a passionate kiss.

'Sorry, Kate... what to say, you are making me wait so much...' I said, making her blush. She just looked at me teasingly now. She came closer and moving her lips along my cheek bone, she reached my ears and whispered-

'The wait will be worth it...' and with that she turned and yelled 'taxi!'. A taxi was right away at her disposal. What the hell! She just tried once and she got it and here I was struggling for almost half an hour.

'You couldn't have hailed one earlier?' I asked as she opened the door and seated herself down.

'How to say it politely...Castle... Actually I was enjoying the sight of you struggling in white shirt' with that she just winked at me and I watched as the cab went down the road and turned, totally out of view now.

'Struggling! Huh!' I said to myself, now I could not help but smile. Only if looks could kill, Katherine Beckett was going to kill me. She was definitely worth the wait.

So, tell me how you found these three stories and should I continue? Even a line or a word would do if not a proper review. I am waiting.

Chapter 2 - 4,5,6 are up now- Thanks for the reviews :) Keep the suggestions and reviews coming.
