After Hours
Castle and Beckett were going to the Old Haunt after they called it a night at the precinct but it was clear that wasn't where either of them wanted to be. So they headed back to the loft as Esposito went out for drinks with Lanie, Ryan returned home to his wife and their newborn baby. Martha was spending the week in the Hamptons so Beckett and Castle had the loft to themselves when they got back.
"Beckett, what do you want?"
"You."
"I'm so sorry, Castle. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."
"What happened?
"He got away and I didn't care. I almost died and all I could think about was you. I just want you."
Once they were in the loft; Castle pulled Beckett into a close embrace.
"All I want is you." Beckett repeated.
The duo wasted no time as they went towards the bedroom.
"Well you were right. I had no idea."
"So you liked it?"
"Yeah."
"Even the part where…"
"Especially that part. I loved that."
"Good. Me too."
Sometime later; Castle and Beckett laid in bed after Beckett had rewarded Castle for the latest Nikki Heat book and its dedication to her.
"So you liked it?" Beckett asked once again.
"Yeah."
Beckett knew that Castle always liked it when they got together; ever since the first time they got together after Alexis' high school graduation.
"I should write more Nikki Heat books if this is my reward."
Beckett rolled her eyes at her husband's twelve year old nature that always seemed to come up at the most inconvenient times.
"Well that was your reward for the book and its dedication…" Beckett trailed off teasing her husband.
Castle then had a look of wonder come to his face as he wondered where Beckett was going with her train of thought.
"The next round is my reward for being your muse." Beckett continued.
The duo went on for round two. The next morning; Castle and Beckett would sleep in. If there was anything of importance wit the case; Ryan, Espo and Lanie knew where to reach Beckett.
