Beckett's Sister: A Castle AU Fanfiction

Chapter 10

Just as Kris turned to leave, a man in his early thirties approached the bar, with his eyes trained on Kate. He was just under six feet tall, thin with short blonde hair. He was dressed in dark jeans, a bright pink Lacoste polo shirt and tan Sperry shoes. Kris stopped at the edge of the bar to see if the man was dumb enough to actually approach her sister.

Kate had turned her attention back to Castle and Russo, who were still deep in their discussion of zombie killing. She had just pulled out her phone when she noticed a man take the seat beside her that her sister had vacated just moments before. After a few moments, she felt the man's eyes on her and she glanced at him from the corner of her eye.

The man gave her a big grin as he glanced back at her. Kate gave a friendly smile and turned her eyes back to her phone. When the man continued to stare at her, Kate turned back around and said "Can I help you with something?"

The man straightened up, putting his finger to his chin. He stood and took a step back, observing Kate as one would observe a fine piece of art. He eyed her from head to toe, and smiled before he finally spoke. "I certainly hope you can help me."

Kate was pretty sure what was about to happen, so with an unreadable expression she said "Is that right?"

Meanwhile, Castle was still rambling on about the difference in fast and slow zombies when Russo glanced over to Kate and took notice of the man eyeing her like a piece of meat. Russo knew Kate was tough and could handle herself against murderers and psychopaths, so a horny guy in a nightclub was no problem for her.

Kris watched the poor sap who was hitting on her sister, and doing a poor job at that. Kate had always had that affect on men with her super model good looks and porn hair, but most men never tried anything once they saw her with Castle. This guy however, Kris thought ,must either be brave as hell or incredibly stupid. She was going with incredibly stupid.

"So, can I buy you a drink?" Lacoste guy said with a sly grin.

"No, thanks. I think I've had enough for one night already." Kate said as she turned back to face the bar.

"Oh come on, baby. It's just one drink." The man said as he leaned in closer to her.

Russo glanced over again and noticed the guy was inching closer and closer to Kate and he could tell by her body language that she was starting to get uncomfortable. He turned back to Castle who was now taking a sip of his beer and nodded at Kate. "Looks like you've got a little competition tonight, man."

Castle furrowed his brow at the young detective and glanced around him, following his line of sight. He took in the younger man, dressed like a college frat boy and almost laughed until he saw how close he was to Kate. He decided to wait it out, knowing how much Kate hated it when he acted all cave man in public and figured she would handle it on her own like she always did.

Kate rolled her eyes at the man and ran her left hand through her hair, hoping this moron of a man would take notice of her engagement ring and back off. She saw the look on his face the moment he registered what was on her hand. Instead of backing off though, it seemed to only spur him on more. He leaned in again and said "Nice rock. How about you give me a chance to change your mind and show you a real good time?"

Kate almost fell off her bar stool with the fit of laughter that overtook her but quickly straightened up when the man leaned in closer and put his hand on her upper thigh. Castle had been watching intently as the man talked to his fiancee. The second he saw the man touch Kate, he jumped up from his seat and walked over.

Kate pushed the man's hand off of her just in time to see Castle come to stand beside her. She turned back to the man with a furious look and said "What the hell do you think you're doing?"
