Not mine, etc.
Beckett stared him down from across the table, leaning back in her chair with her longs legs tucked under her. He stared right back, narrowing his eyes, a smile playing on his lips. If he were to be completely honest, as much as he loved her body - worshipped it really - his favorite was her eyes. Warm pools of brown when she was relaxed, flashing bright green when excited. Her eyes were green. She was bluffing
"I raise," he said, tossing some chip into the center of the table. She glanced down at her cards, an ace high, and wondered how he could have possibly known. Years interrogating suspects had given her a remarkable poker face. "Fold" she said, tossing her cards down on the table. She slowly stood up from her chair, legs unfolding beneath her. Her hands skimmed down her sides, pulling up slightly on the hem of her sweater. Castle's eyes widened almost imperceptibly and his mouth opened slightly. She smirked and dropped the hem, bent over, and in smooth motions pulled off her knee high boots. Castle huffed slightly, muttering "tease" under his breath before dealing another hand.
The game went on for almost a half hour. They knew each other so well that it was hard for either of them to gain an edge on the other - the chips remained almost even and they were in similar states of undress. She lost the next hand and removed her bra, leaving on her loose feathery t shirt, knowing what the sight of her barely covered breasts would do to him. He shifted uncomfortably. She was left in the shirt, and her underwear. In an effort to hide his arousal, Castle had opted to leave his pants on but was wearing nothing else.
Beckett saw her hand and smiled inwardly. King Ace suited. Castle looked at his, a pair of 2s, and her eyes were brown. He wanted out of the game, was ready to lose and get naked. He went all in. Beckett glanced over at him. His eyes were shining and he was looking at her with an overwhelming look of love and lust. She was ready to end this. "Fold," she said, standing up to strip off her underwear, throwing it across the table at him. She dealt the next hand and Castle didn't even look at his cards before he threw them down on the table, uttering a husky "fold" before stripping off his pants. She actually climbed over the table in her desperation to reach him, not wanting to waste the time it would take to walk around. She wrapped her legs around him, pulling him in for a deep kiss. Castle broke it with his smile, pulling back slightly, whispering into her mouth, "I love this game…even when I lose I win," before pushing her back on the table and climbing up beside her.
