Different kind of comfort

Chapter 13 - Preparations

Kate Beckett's POV

When I woke up I first had a hard time placing myself. I was in my bed and I had strong familiar arms wrapped around me but I couldn't remember falling asleep there. He must've carried me to bed after I had walked into the world of dreams. I could feel his breath in my neck and it was somehow calming. As I looked up in the room I saw the clock and checked the time. It showed 8am and I smiled at the fact that I had woken by myself and not by the alarm setting me off to work. I carefully turned in Castle's arms, making sure he continued to sleep through listening to the way he breathed. When I had turned completely I looked at his face and couldn't help but adore the way he looked like a little boy while he slept. I couldn't resist but to start follow his facial lines with my fingers, barely touching him since I didn't want to wake him up. My fingers started tingling from the feeling of his skin and I bit my lips through my smile. His breathing started to indicate he was about to wake up so I stopped to see if that meant he would go back to sleep but it didn't so I carefully started following his lines again. As I could feel him waking up I saw his lips turn into an enjoying smile. He slowly opened his eyes and met mine. As soon as his eyes got focused on me they got a bright glimpse in them. He then made a small face and I got confused.

"What?" I asked and he looked at me with an insecure face as he opened his mouth.

"No morning kiss?" he asked offended and I rolled my eyes.

He broke into a smile and moved closer to me. I put my hand on his chest, stopping him from moving any closer. His smirk disappeared and I could see he tried to search in my eyes to see if I really was mad at him for his comment.

"So you didn't like your wake up?" I asked, faking irritation.

He looked at me with a scared look.

"Of course I did! I just..." I couldn't help but start laughing when he was middle sentence. "Not fair" he mumbled and I leant near him, so close that our noses touched.

I immediately felt his body tense at the closeness of our bodies.

"I'm just messing with you" I whispered seductively and let my lips brush on his, barely touching.

They touched enough to drive us both crazy though. I sometimes hated the control he had over my body, I hated it as much as I loved it. Our lips smashed together as neither him or me could keep away from each other. I felt his arms tighten around me as he pulled me closer to him. I let my hands tremble across his chest and I put one of my legs around his waist. He kissed me deeply and I could feel love spread into my body, he put so much love in his kiss that I was, at first, a bit shocked. But as the kiss deepened I let myself show him how I felt about him too, I put as much love in my kiss as I possibly could even though I knew it still wouldn't be enough to show him how much I had fallen for him. I could feel he got shocked but I felt him smile against my lips. I couldn't help but smile too which resulted in us pulling apart after a peck as an end to the kiss. I let my leg go down his waist and go back to where it had been from the start.

"This feels great" I said with a grin.

"Yeah, I could totally wake up to this every morning" he said with a dreaming expression in his face.

"Oh, no I meant the fact that I'm still in bed even though school started about half an hour ago" I said as innocently as I possibly could.

"You're such a tease" he said and kissed me passionately.

I shrugged before I chuckled into the kiss and we got up from the bed. We got dressed and he started walking in front of me out of the bedroom.

"What do you want for breakfast?" he asked, glancing back at me and I shook my head.
