***I started to do this as a OS but decided to divide it onto 2 or maybe even 3 chapters. I know this first one is really short, but I promise to make up for it in the next chapter. ;)

Rick sat in his office, checking over his e-mails, when he noticed an alert he hadn't received in a while. His favorite Fanfiction writer had uploaded a new story to the Richard Castle Fansite. He quickly scanned the room even though he knew he was very much alone and then clicked the link to 'Queen Takes Rook' by Castlefan01.

Nikki moved her Queen into position and let her fingers linger on the chess piece for a
moment as she considered her options, then quickly removed her hand and smirked at
the journalist sitting across from her. "Your move Mr. Rook."

Jameson knew she was setting him up for something but for the life of him, he couldn't see it.
She acted nervous though, he noticed. Was she afraid he may see an opening
in her defense? Was there a weak spot somewhere? 'That's it!' He thought to himself
as he took hold of his Knight positioning it closer to her King, one move away from
putting her into Check.

As soon as he removed his fingers from his chess piece, he smiled up at her and leaned
back in his seat, confident he had the upper hand.

Nikki slowly stood and walked over to the bar to refill her wine glass. She glanced over her
shoulder and held the bottle up to him, silently asking if he wanted some. He shook his head
indicating he was good and twirled the liquid around in his glass before taking a sip. Jameson
sat his glass back down on the table and watched her walk back towards him, swaying her hips
a little more than necessary and chewing on her lower lip to cover up her smile. 'Oh no.' He thought
and then began scanning the board in front of him. 'What did I do?'

Jameson was no longer smiling, the expression on his face now was... Defeat. Nikki sat her drink
down next to his, placed both her hands on the table and leaned over the Chess board to marvel
at her work. "I could do this..." Nikki whispered as she fingered her Bishop and slid it closer to his
favorite piece, the female matriarch. "... And take your Queen."

She never removed her fingers from the piece as she turned her head to see his reaction. His eyes
left the game for a moment to meet hers and he gave her a nervous grin. If he could somehow convince
her to spare his lady friend, he may yet have a chance to win. "Go ahead and take her, I still have you..."
His voice sounded sultry as he spoke softly to her and leaned in closer, giving her a quick kiss on the lips. "... My Queen."

"Or... How about I do this..." Nikki eased her Bishop back to where he sat a moment ago and
then tapped her finger on the head of her newly chosen piece. She quickly slid the beautifully carved
Ivory lady across the board and rammed into one of his Ebony characters, knocking it to the floor.
"Queen takes Rook!"

Jameson reached down and picked up the Rook from the floor when he suddenly realized the words
she had just spoken. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer to him. "Ohh, I like the sound of that... Take me, please."

Nikki bent at the waist and got right in his face. "You do realize that move put you into Check, don't you?"

Jameson nodded his head and reached his arm around Nikki's waist, never breaking eye contact with her.
His fingers lightly traced the shapes of the pieces on the board and when he located his King, he tipped him over.
"I surrender." He whispered just before he crashed his lips to hers.

Rick was starting to get aroused, he knew all the previous stories by Castlefan01 got very erotic and he could tell that this one was just getting started. He leaned back in his chair, propped his feet up on his desk and placed the laptop in his lap. The heat coming off the machine combined with the words he was reading had him at full attention in no time. Every now and then he would push his crotch upwards, imagining that the warmth and friction he was feeling her... sitting on his lap... instead of a computer.

The scene was getting so intense, Rick debated whether or not he should undo his jeans and enjoy the story with a little more hands on approach. His cell phone chirped alerting him to a new text and brought him out of his daydream. He reached for the phone and opened the message, it was from Kate.

- You busy?

-Just checking e-mails. What's up?

-You wanna come over?

-Want me to bring anything?

-Do you have a Chess Board?

Rick clinched his hand into a fist and bit his knuckle when he read her last text. He closed his laptop, sat it back on the desk and typed out a reply.

-I'll be there in 20!
