Chapter 1

Kate Beckett sat in the unfamiliar waiting room of her doctor's office, patiently waiting for her routine check up. She had laughed a little when she used the word routine to describe the type of appointment she desired because, typically, she hadn't done this in years.

After about 15 minutes of waiting, her name was finally called and the detective was led to a small room at the back of the building. Sighing, she detached her purse from her side and sat down on the thin, white paper that covered the table intended for patients.

Just as she considered getting up and skipping the appointment, the door to her room opened and Kate looked up to find a tall, handsome man with a stethoscope around his neck entering.

"Are you the nurse or something?" Kate asked, rather bluntly. She didn't have time for formalities. All she cared about was getting this appointment over with and going back to work. She couldn't believe Montgomery had forced her into coming here.

The man smiled, clearly amused by her tone. "No, actually, I am your doctor. Kate Beckett, I presume?" He asked, glancing down at his clip board to double check the name.

"Yes, I am, but Dr. Fields is my doctor, has been for years and you..." she paused, giving him a once over and barely concealing it, "are definitely not her."

"No, I'd have to agree with you there. I'm Dr. Rogers and I'll be covering all of Dr. Field's patients while she is on a two week holiday. I hope that isn't a problem, Ms. Beckett."

She sighed, not wanting to complain. "No, that's fine. Can we do this as fast as possible though? I need to get back to work and I really wasn't planning to come here today."

"I'll make sure you're back to work in no time." Dr. Rogers flashed her a smile before turning to grab his supplies. Kate, even though she was put off by being forced to come here, had to take a moment to collect herself. This man was by far the most gorgeous she'd seen in a while. Cute didn't even begin to cover it. No, he was... rugged. Hot was definitely a better word for it. Maybe this appointment wasn't such a bad idea after all. her inner voice giggled.

"Okay, so we're going to start off with your vitals. Do you mind rolling up your sleeves for me?" Kate nodded and began to pull her sleeve to her shoulder. She blushed slightly at the thought of him doing it for her... what was it about sexy doctors removing her clothes that was so hot? She wanted to shake her head at herself for even having to ask that.

Dr. Rogers looked back to his clip board and tsked at her. "Looks like you haven't had a check up in a little over 5 years. You should really be coming in every 6 months... or at least every year." He said, as wrapped the cuff around her arm.

"I know, it was probably stupid of me to wait this long but I never really had the time. My job is really all-consuming, you know?" She decided to drop the clipped tone and go for friendly. She couldn't flirt with the man, but she could at least be pleasant.

"Where do you work? If you don't mind me asking." Dr Rogers quickly pumped the cuff so it tightened around her arm.

"No, it's no problem. I'm a homicide detective for the NYPD." She forced herself not to mumble as she stared at his strong hands... the thoughts that were going through her mind were less than appropriate.

"Wow!" He started, obviously stunned. "I never would have guessed that. I mean, you've got the attitude down, but you just don't seem like the type." He said, now removing the cuff from her arm.

Kate eyed him, "and what is that supposed to mean, Dr. Rogers?" Wait, did she purr his name? She needed to get a grip on herself.

He gestured for her to open her mouth and placed a thermometer under her tongue as he spoke. "Well. Stop me if I go to far, but an obviously intelligent, confident, and, well, attractive woman such as yourself doesn't peg me as the homicide detective type. I can see you as a lawyer, maybe even a business woman. But a detective? Especially in such a grueling area? It's certainly different."

Kate laughed a little at that. People were always surprised to hear about her occupation, but she had never had someone be so bold to explain their reasoning to her... it was refreshing.

"Well, I guess I'm not your typical intelligent, confident, attractive woman." She smiled.

Dr. Rogers smiled as well, slowly bringing the stethoscope up to his ears. "Well, I probably could have figured that out myself." He paused, derailing the conversation for a moment. "I am going to listen to your heart for a moment now, so i'm going to need silence for a second." He looked up at her, smiling, "just for a moment."

She tried to breathe calmly as he listened to her heart beat. It only took a few moments, and if he detected that the rhythm was slightly faster than normal, he didn't say anything.

Dr Rogers then reached around to touch the stethoscope to her back. "Now, breathe in and out really deeply for me." He said, and she swore she could detect a sultry hint to his voice... but maybe that was just her dirty mind acting up again. She took a deep breath and let it out. Then, he slowly (almost too slowly) moved the hand piece down her back and asked her to breathe in again. This time, her breath was a little shaky.

"Your breath sounds seem to be doing good. So we can move on to an abdominal exam." He motioned for her to lie down, and when he did, her heart beat sped up about 10 times it's normal pace. Thank god he checked that first.

"So, for this part and any others, you can request to have a female nurse sit in the room and witness if you feel uncomfortable." He smiled, clearly trying to convey that he wouldn't be offended if she wanted a woman present.

Kate quickly shook her head, silently kicking herself for being so eager. "No, I think I'm fine."

"Excellent! I'm going to need you to pull your shirt up just high enough so I can examine your abdomen." Kate, trying to make light of the situation, raised her eyebrow at him and, thank god, he laughed in response. "Hey! I asked you if you wanted a female present! This is a normal part of check ups!"

Kate, laughing too, pulled her shirt up to rest just below her bra. She was hardly exposing a scandalous part of her body, yet somehow, in the presence of this particular doctor, she felt very, very dirty.

If she had thought her thoughts were dirty before, however, it was nothing compared to how she felt when his hands were on her. The strong hands she had watched in awe earlier, were expertly pressing areas of her stomach and it was just the simple skin on skin contact that was making her hold in a gasp.

Honestly, she felt ridiculous. Here she was getting examined by a normal doctor and she couldn't help but allow her thoughts to become perverted by her dirty mind... which, admittedly, wasn't usually this dirty... at all.

"Okay, everything seems to be working properly there as well!" Dr. Rogers startled her out of her thoughts, bringing her back to reality.

"Oh, good. I can't say I was too worried but there is something about these examinations that make you second guess everything." Kate pulled her shirt down and sat back up on the table, letting her legs dangle down like she did when she was a child.

"I actually know exactly what you mean." Dr. Rogers said, now staring at her. Kate shifted, he was watching her now... almost like he was studying her. Was that normal? It probably was, she hadn't been to a check up in 5 years, who was she to say what was and wasn't odd. But seriously, he was still staring at her with a look in his eyes that... again, maybe her imagination but, really didn't seem too professional.

"Um, what's next, doc?" She asked, trying to break away from these thoughts. He didn't help things at all when he stuttered into his next answer.

"Oh! Well... now," He paused, clearly collecting himself. "Your reflexes! Your reflexes are next. You don't have to move, you're in the perfect position." Kate tried not to dwell too much on the way he said perfect.

"Wow! Your reflexes are ridiculously fast!" He said, after tapping both of her knees a few times.

"Occupational hazard, I guess." She laughed, finding it pretty interesting the way her body reacted to the slightest tap on the knee.

"That would make sense!" He paused, clearly a little uncomfortable, "and were you looking to get a breast or pelvic exam today?"

Kate's eyes widened and quickly shook her head. "No, not today." She paused, trying so hard to stop her mouth from talking. "I mean, I haven't discovered any weird lumps and my sex life has pretty much been non existent since I made detective a few years ago." If her eyes had widened before, they were saucers now. No. No, I did not just say that.

Thankfully, the doctor remained professional and continued on with his questions. "And was there anything else you were concerned about?"

Now that she thought of it, her right calf had been hurting lately. It was probably just a pulled muscle, but while she was here, she might as well check. "Ya, actually. My calf has been hurting lately... maybe you could check it out and tell me how to make it a little better?"

He smiled and sat down in front of her, bringing her leg up to his lap. Wasn't he supposed to ask her to lift up her pant leg? Was it normal for him to do it for her? The doctor's hands slowly and lightly moved up the back of her bare leg from her ankle to her knee. Kate barely suppressed a shiver as he... what was he even doing? It couldn't be called a caress... could it? God his hands felt amazing.

"Does it hurt when I press in like this?" Kate was so turned on by these simple touches that she was not ready for the pain he inflicted when he pressed into her calf.

"Ouch! Yes." She blushed, embarrassed by her reaction. She usually handled pain better but she was too busy fantasizing about his hands on her to anticipate what he was doing.

"Okay, you probably experienced a calf muscle cramp. Basically, the muscle involuntarily contracts and in some cases, like yours, bruises because of the strength of the contraction. You'll just have to wait this one out."

Kate nodded, happy that she finally understands what's going on.

Her cell phone, thank god, rang at that exact moment, saving her from thinking of something to say. "Sorry, just one second." She said, opening her phone.

"Beckett." She answered in her usual voice, not bothering to check who was on the other line.

"Yo, we caught our guy. Ryan and I just got a confession out of him in a pretty heated interrogation. But either way, he'll be locked up for a while. Montgomery is giving us the weekend off for our hard work." Kate could practically hear the smug smile that was most certainly adorning Esposito's face on the other line. They rarely solved cases when Kate wasn't around, and this was definitely a victory for him and his partner.

Swallowing her pride, Kate decided to skip the teasing comments and commend them for their work. "Good job, Espo. That family has you to thank for their peace of mind. Have a good weekend!" She said, hanging up and realizing that she now had an entire weekend off with nothing to do.

"Sorry," she smiled up at the doctor, "that was another detective. Apparently the case was solved in my absence!"

The doctor waved off her apology in complete understanding. "Does that usually happen?" He allowed his curiosity to get the better of him.

Kate snorted as if that was a funny joke. "Very, very rarely. They must have worked pretty hard while I was gone to pull it off."

Rick laughed. It was refreshing for a woman to be so confident about herself and her profession. Far too many females in this era put themselves down in a vain quest for attention or security. Kate, clearly, didn't need or want to do that. "I am getting a sense that you're, like, super cop. Am I right?" He smiled.

"Ryan and Esposito, my team, are very capable. I'm just very... dedicated." She chose her words very carefully.

Dr. Roger's eyes lit up in excitement. "I could totally see that. You staying late nights at the precinct so you can bring justice to families. Or you in the interrogation room with a suspect playing mind games to get a confession. So hot." He said the last part under his breath, but Kate was just able to make it out. Her heart fluttered at his words.

"I'm glad i've given you an exciting visual." Kate stared at him directly in the eyes. She allowed her expression to give off the flirty air that was dying to get out of her system.

The doctor coughed, regaining himself. "Well, that's it for the checkup. You seem to have a clean bill of health but you should really get these done more often."

Kate was not disappointed. She was definitely not enjoying her time with this doctor and she definitely was not still incredibly turned on by the earlier calf examination and the prospect of him giving her a pelvic exam... was that even supposed to be considered sexy? Definitely not.

"Okay! Well, thank you... I guess." She said, not quite sure how to finish the appointment off. She put out her hand in an offer to shake.

"Ya, no problem. These documents will be given to your regular doctor." Dr. Rogers took her hand and shook. Kate refused to think about the electricity that shot through her hand when he took it... or the extra unnecessary moments that their hands remained locked.

Ahh! This was so much fun to write! I really hope you all enjoyed it and I look forward to hearing from you!

It was so weird to call Castle "Dr. Rogers" instead of Castle or Rick. Don't worry, I'll be able to make that change soon.
