2. Not Wham-Bam
"I am so sorry," Castle said to Beckett when it was only the two of them in the bedroom. "That was-,"
"Awkward, mortifying, take your pick."
"Out of the blue, unforeseen," Castle said thinking of other words to describe the encounter. "I swear we were supposed to have the apartment to ourselves."
Beckett walked over to Castle and tugged a little on the sheet. "Graduation parties go awry, I get it. I was Alexis' age too once."
Castle moved back some of Beckett's hair on her left side and then moved his hand down to the shirt lowering it to reveal her shoulder and upper forearm.
"Still, can you blame me for being selfish if I wanted it to be just us?"
He moved down to her chest where he unbuttoned one of the buttons.
Beckett smiled, "Never." She again tugged at the sheet, this time near his penis where she let her hand linger. "But as much as I'd love to be selfish with you, you've got a kid out there who needs her dad."
Castle sighed, "Yeah you're probably right." He looked up at Beckett, "You're staying though right?"
The question caught Beckett off guard. She hadn't exactly planned on staying now that Castle's family was back.
"You want me to," she asked.
"Of course unless this was a wham-bam thank you man kind of thing."
"Is that what you think this was," Beckett asked with a hint of amusement in her voice.
"I hope not but part of me can't help but wonder if this was part of a moment of crisis."
Beckett nodded. She could understand why he would think that. She had come to him with a clear mind but a bit damaged having nearly met her death by falling off a ledge and then quitting her job.
She reached for him, locking her arms around her waist, the sheet dropping to the floor. She could feel his penis beneath her shirt near her legs. She then tiptoed to reach up to him and he leaned down to meet her. Beckett found his lips, their mouths parting so they could enter each other. After a moment Beckett released him but he had not released her, their bodies attached as one as he had made his way inside her while she kissed him.
"That's not what this is about," she said to him. "Not for me."
Castle smiled, "Good me neither. So then you'll stay."
"I'll stay."
