Season 2 Episode 17 & 18
Rick brook the news to Kate that his novel Heat Wave is being make into a movie. He sat down beside her, "You're going to be immortalized on the silver screen."
She shook her head, "Actually, Nicki Heat is going to be immortalized, not me."
"Yes, well, technically, but it'll be widely publicized that you are the inspiration, so, who would you like to play you in the movie?
Kate got a call and it was a killer who said he would be in touch, but his victim was already dead.
They found the victim at Grand Central Station. with five bullet holes in him.
Lanie located the shells and they were etched with the letters N.I.C.K.I. they were baffled.
A second call came from him the following day and they went to Central Park and found another victim on the carousal with four shell and they spelled W.I.L.L. they were again lost.
Just them a number of black SUVs came to the park. They were from the F.B.I and they were taking over the case. The lead agent was Jordan Shaw.
Rick knew her immediately, "The same Jordan Shaw (Dana Delany) that broke the Hudson Valley Strangler case back in 1991"
She chuckled, "I also play a mean game of Scrabble. Now that we all know each other, I'd like to see the body."
She used all of her F.B.I hardware and software to help in the case, but they were getting no closer in solving the case. They took over Kate's precinct and Rick was like a kid in the candy store with all of their gadgets.
Rick gave them his insight and Shaw ran with them, but it made Kate upset because he shared them with Shaw instead of bring them to her first.
Rick was drawn into her expertise and it made Kate feel slighted. The three of them were at a stake-out and Rick was in the back, playing with more of Shaw's toys. She was in the driver's seat, while Kate was in the passenger seat. Shaw turned and looked to Kate, "So how long have you two been sleeping together?"
Kate wasn't about to go down that road and she lied to the FBI., "We're not sleeping together. We...He just observes me."
Shaw chuckled. "Yeah, I've seen how he observes you."
Castle tried to help Kate out, "No, she's right. Aside from my second wife, this is most sexless relationship I've ever been in."
Kate heard that and it stung, but she knew he was trying to protect her.
Shaw shook her head, "I've been profiling people for a long time. I'm hardly ever wrong."
Kate scoffed, "Well, this time, you are wrong."
"So. if you're not sleeping together, why do you keep him around?"
He frowned, "You know I can hear you."
Kate stuck up for him, "He's actually proven to be surprisingly helpful."
Now Shaw scoffed, "I'll take your word on that."
The stake-out ended up being a bust, but the killer called again trying trick her, but this time the killer took the victim, leaving a trail of blood.
Shaw insisted that Kate go home and she went reluctantly. Rick went over to her apartment and insisted to stay with her. He told her he would sleep on the sofa, but wasn't about to leave her alone.
In the morning, Rick went to get the paper from the front door and on the doorstep was the body of the third victim.
Javi and Ryan pressed them both about staying together, but they were not convinced they were platonic only..
The four slugs came out of the body and they were B.U.R.N. Meaning "Nikki Will Burn."
The killer tricked them and killed a patsy and they though the killer was caught.
Kate went home, and so did Castle. All of a sudden he realized it was a trick. He rushed over to warn Kate. She was in the shower, she answered her cell just in time to hear Castle warn her. She hopped in the tub and was saved from the explosion and the fire that was mean to burn her.
She didn't have a place to live and after running on empty, Captain Montgomery gave her a direct order to go home.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have a home."
Rick cleared his throat, "Yes you do. I have a secure apartment with a extra bedroom." She looked at him,"I Can't stay with you."
"He got mad, "Yes you can and you will!"
Montgomery ordered her to go and she did.
They sat in his apartment drinking coffee, She confessed, "Shaw was right kicking me off the case, I'm too close to it."
He looked to her, "I'm sure after all this, you're a little sorry you let me follow you around."
"No, not this. All the other annoying things that you do, but not this. What about you? Are you sorry that you ever wrote Heat Wave?"
"The way I look at it now, if it wasn't Nikki Heat, this guy would've just gone on killing because he wouldn't have met anyone smart enough to catch him. I'm speaking, of course, about Special Agent Shaw."
She smirked and threw a napkin at him, hitting him in the face. She turned and began to leave the room, "Good Night, Castle."
He watched her walk away, "Good Night."
About two hours later, he was sleeping in his bed and he heard a tapping on his door. He turned on the light and called out, "Come in."
In the low light, Kate entered in just a nightshirt and nothing under it. The light behind her showed her naked body beneath the long light shirt, "I couldn't sleep and wanted to see if you were still up."
Come on in, but close the door behind you. We can't have Mother or Alexis knowing you came into my bedroom.
She did and she took a seat on the edge of the bed, "I'm so confused about what this maniac is doing. She leaned towards him.
Rick sat up higher in the bed and wrapped his arms around her, "I heard what you told Shaw about us sleeping together. You know, lying to the FBI is a federal offense."
She chuckled, "Well, this is only under interrogation."
"Oh, so this is okay?" She giggled, "Just between us, remember that." She leaned closer and she let out a sigh when he wrapped his arms around her and just held her.
She was in need of more than just a hug and it slowly grew stronger. She let Castle draw her into the bed and the two of them lay there on the side, facing one another. He kissed her softly again, holding her tight with both arms. He knew she needed to be comforted. After a few minutes, she let out a sigh as she felt his hand slide down her back. It lingered there for a few moment before he gently caressed her bare, tight ass.
She was conflicted. She wanted to rush away, knowing she needed the feeling of a strong male holding her. She just went with it, welcoming his exploring hands. She felt him continue squeezing her ass and stroking the back of her thighs. Castle slid down a little and planted several. soft, wet kisses on her neck and she felt her entire body ignite.
Castle worked the lower portion of neck, he slid down a little more and his hand returned to her ass. She knew he was just testing the waters and she wasn't about to stop him. She knew she needed the warmth of him and she let out a gasp when she felt his fingers graze her moist cuntlips.
Kate sat up quickly and she shook her head when she felt him pull away. "No, don't stop Castle, I just wanted to get the nightshirt off and give you more to work with." She crossed her arms and in one swift motion, drew the nightshirt up and over her head. She was now naked and she slipped back down to the bed.
Castle saw the green lights flashing and he lowered his head and his lips locked on her right nipple. She rolled totally onto her back and as she clutched at his head, she felt his fingers return to her now, wet pussy lips. Her hips came off the bed when she felt him sink a finger into her wet hole up to the second knuckle.
He turned his head and feasted on her other nipple and his other hand twisted the other one covered in his saliva. He added a second finger into her tight hole and began sliding them in and out at a quicker pace.
Kate was letting go and she welcomed his fingers. She fisted his hair as he continued to suck at her ripe nipples. She groaned as he picked up the pace, finger-fucking her faster and going deeper again and again. Her cunt walls tightened and clutched at his fingers. Her breathing came in gasps as a tidal wave of pleasure coursed through her.
Wave after wave of pleasure washed over her and she fell back against the crumpled sheets. She savored the orgasm Castle gave and she smiled back at him as she felt him finally pulled his fingers out of her and hugged her once again.
