"Come for me love," Castle groaned heavily to his wife as she was below him, raking her nails over his back. He felt her soon after beginning to climax and he tried not to thrust too hard within her though it became impossible to do. He was following her swiftly after and he tried to make it last as long as he could until finally he was stopping as she was limp underneath him. His body throbbing in pleasure he kissed at her jaw and neck for a while before she held his head in place and brought him up to her.

Sharing a kiss with him Beckett said when he pulled away, "You couldn't help yourself could you?" as he'd instigated their lovemaking the second they'd gotten into the room.

"No," Castle replied as he could feel her legs that were wrapped around him moving slightly. Soon after her left leg moved up and down on him and he shuddered heavily at the sensation that stood out from the way his body was feeling coming down from his pleasure. "But you could have easily stopped me," he pointed out to her. When she merely smiled at him he shuddered heavily once more before he kissed her deeply. Feeling her responding to him he was shuddering in joy and then when they parted he told her, "I feel like canceling our reservations."

"No," Beckett said firmly though she knew that he was joking. "We probably need to get ready to go so get off of me." She watched with a smile as he gave her a mock irritated grumble but was soon doing so and she watched him get off the bed. They took a quick shower and when they were back out in the bedroom she went to the armoire where her dress was. "You're not going to get dressed?" she asked him with a smile.

"Right now," Castle said though he was soon handing her the dress.

"Not that first," Beckett replied with a slight smirk at him. She then walked over to where her suitcase was and stood there for a moment looking something over before she moved.

Castle, watching her, suddenly found it hard to swallow as he watched her pull on a pair of blue panties that nearly matched her dress. As she walked back to him he confessed to her, "I could get aroused again really fast."

"I know but I did want tonight," Beckett said. She was serious so when her husband nodded to that she didn't feel too guilty about him having to stop to turn his attention to getting dressed though he was helping her step into her dress first.

After Castle had zipped the back of the dress he said to his wife, "Do you want to sleep tonight?"

"No, did you?" Beckett asked, turning back to look at him.

"No but I think we should take it easy," Castle said.

Beckett did her best not to smirk at her husband and just managed to get it under control before she then said, "Then you must be tired."

"No," Castle said simply, not rising to her teasing at that point. "But maybe we can take it easy."

"You know we never made that bed," Beckett said with a smile.

Castle was slightly confused and was going to ask what she meant before he abruptly stopped and looked at the bare space of the floor before he shook his head. "Maybe another night."

"Really?" Beckett asked in slight surprise.

Smiling Castle said, "Really, you'll see tonight."
"Okay," Beckett said before she watched him go to his clothes. Once she was sure that he was going to get ready she turned her attention to preparing her hair which she soon had swept up into a bun. She tucked her mother's comb into that and walked over to Castle who was finishing with his shoes. "I hope you comb your hair," she told him as she sat next to her.

"Of course but that's because of you," Castle said, glancing over at her as she stopped him from putting her shoes on for her.

"I take full responsibility for that and I am glad I did," Beckett replied, smirking at him.

"And you'll do that again tonight," Castle stated instead of asking.

"That depends," Beckett said simply, finishing with her other heel and standing a second before her husband was nearly rushing to do the same.

"On what?" Castle asked though he was aware of the answer already.

"On how we are tonight," Beckett replied. She smiled when he nodded; pretending to be serious, before he returned that with a grin of his own and they were soon wrapping their arms tightly around one another.

"You usually do," Castle told her before he leaned down and kissed her deeply.

Beckett couldn't stop herself from responding to him and she was soon parting her lips for his tongue. As they were tangling together she tried not to get out of control and muss his hair as she'd done earlier while they were making love. But thinking that as they slowly parted she then said, "I almost did it there."
"Really?" Castle asked, smiling at her.

"Yeah," Beckett said with a returning smile. She shared a kiss with him then and said, "We should go or else we're going to stay in."

"Nothing wrong with that," Castle told her as she was taking his hand to lead him over to the door.

Beckett glanced at him with a slight look and once the door was opened they stepped out into the hall. She was surprised when he didn't say anything else but as they stepped into the elevator she looked at him and saw the expression on his face. "Hey," she said with a smile as she gently squeezed his hand.

"Sorry, just trying to repress enough," Castle commented as he looked at her.

Beckett laughed slightly at his use of the word enough and then held his arm, squeezing it tightly before they reached the lobby. They stepped outside and she looked around before saying, "I want to walk before we go back to the room."

"Sure," Castle said with a nod. When she glanced at him he told her, "I don't mind waiting."

"Oh," Beckett said as she realized why he said that to her surprise. "So that's how you want it."

"I'd like to but you realize we need to agree on this together," Castle said, pausing to turn to her.

"I know, don't worry," Beckett said, tempted to kiss him but holding back on that. "And that would be nice."

"You're sure?" Castle asked her.

"Yeah," Beckett said, smiling at him. She did so wider when he then began to hug her and she held him just as tightly as he was doing with her. "Come on, we'll lose our reservation," she told him before they took one another's hand and then started to walk over to the restaurant again.

Inside they were led over to the table that Castle had specifically requested when he'd made their reservations. He was pleased to find their view was still a good one and once they were seated with their menus he looked out the window and said, "Again."

"It's bound to happen when we come to the same place we did five years ago," Beckett told him as she knew he was talking about the sense of déjà vu she was also experiencing.

"True," Castle said with a nod. He then smiled and said, "Are you getting the same? The menu hasn't changed."

"I was planning on it," Beckett said. She then looked out the window and when her husband asked her what she was thinking about she said, "I'm remembering I was pregnant with Eliza then."

"I was thinking about that myself," Castle replied, nodding his head. He then smiled at her and said, "But this is nice too."

"It is," Beckett replied as he was reaching for her hand. They squeezed them tightly and then turned their attention to their waiter before they were left alone and would be for a while as they'd given their food orders too. "Now it's your turn," she told him as she smiled at him.

"My turn?" Castle asked in surprise and slight confusion.

"Yes a story since I gave you mine earlier," Beckett explained.

Nodding Castle then began to think about what he could tell her and he said, "I never told you about how I discovered Brad loved to play with bows and arrows did I?"

"No," Beckett said interestedly. "How old were you?"

"We were thirteen," Castle replied. "And we'd been hanging out on the grounds of the academy we were attending then. We found the archery team's equipment set out and Brad went straight to it while I was trying to tell him to stop or else we'd get some demerits."


"Oh come on Rick," Brad said, looking back at his friend. "I know what to do with these."

"Yeah but it's sports equipment," Castle replied. "And isn't your mom going to get really mad if you're in trouble again."
Brad shrugged; though the moment of hesitation he had gave away that his mother would be; before he said, "You don't know how to do this do you?"

"No…" Castle said hesitantly as he walked up to him.


"I knew it," Beckett said with a smile. "You forgot about the getting into trouble part didn't you?"

"You'll see," Castle replied with a slight nod.


"Then pick one up and I'll teach you what to do with it," Brad said. He watched his friend pick up one of the bows there were and he told him how to put the arrow on the string. "Set it on the notch there… yeah, awesome. Now aim for the target but don't pull."

"Why not?" Castle asked, slightly annoyed.

"'Cause I have to make sure that you can stand the right way," Brad told him simply. He looked at his friend standing then and nodded saying, "What do you see on the end of the arrow?"

"The target… the yellow part," Castle replied.

"Good, pull back to the arrow," Brad told him. Once his friend had he then said, "Pull when you're ready but don't move."


"You didn't hit the target did you?" Beckett said to her husband with a smile.

"Oh I did, the white part around it," Castle replied.

"He didn't tease you did he?" Beckett then said.

"No," Castle replied with a slight smile at her.


"How good are you?" Castle was asking Brad after his friend had stopped his smothered laughter.

"Here," the teen replied as he got the other arrow ready. He pulled back on the screen and once he'd aimed it let it go, getting in between the blue and red. "That's because I practiced," he said.

"Teach me?" Castle asked.

"Yeah, let's do that right now," Brad said.

Castle was going to grab another arrow when he froze as the sound of people approaching reached the two of them. "It's the team!" he said in a panicked voice.

The two boys started to run from the practice area before they froze at the same time and then rushed back to the targets. They managed to get the arrows off just in time and tossed them to the others in their boxes before they raced to the trees.

When they'd settled themselves onto branches that were close to each other Brad said breathlessly, "That was close."

"Way too close, the team would have beaten us up," Castle said with a nod. "But you'll still teach me right?"

"I can ask mom to send my stuff," Brad replied as he nodded his head. He then smiled and said, "Snack?"

"Definitely," Castle replied before he took one of the snack cakes his friend had gotten for them both at the academy's cafeteria.


"What?" Castle asked his wife as she was holding her hand up to her mouth, holding back laughter.

"I can imagine the two of you racing around trying to get those arrows back before the team saw you," Beckett explained when she'd calmed down.

"Yeah we were… going crazy," Castle said with a nostalgic smile on his face. He then smiled at his wife and told her, "But it was still fun."

"It sounds like it was," Beckett replied with a nod. By then they were on their entrees and she ate some of her chicken before she then said, "Did you two used to do that with your snacks?"

"You could tell we would?" Castle asked her. When she nodded slightly he smiled and then told her, "We would and just talk about whatever we could think of as thirteen year olds… at that time."
"Girls?" Beckett asked.

"Sort of," Castle said, thinking that over for a moment. He wasn't surprised when she playfully pushed at him before he then said, "Yeah we would talk about how we liked some girls but that was about as far as we went."

"Thank you for that," Beckett replied with a smile.

"Only fair I told you something about me," Castle said. "And it made you laugh so that's a definite bonus."

Beckett just shook her head, smiling at him in mock exasperation, before she then said, "At least we managed to pass the time."

"Oh yeah, wouldn't want a dull meal with us staring daggers at each other," Castle said. He then pretended to look thoughtful and said, "Though we could have just stared at one another adoringly."
"This was better," Beckett said, smiling at him.

"Yeah," Castle said, nodding his head rapidly. He couldn't resist the temptation and leaned over, kissing her gently on the lips. "For the rest of our meal," he then said when they were waiting for their desserts. "What about the next book?"

"I know," Beckett said, nodding her head. "But you realize when we're on the West Coast we're not going to be able to write."

"We can," Castle said. "I just get the feeling we'll be too tired to do that."

"Pervert," Beckett replied at his slipping into Irish. She'd spoken quickly as their waiter was coming back to them with their last plates. When they'd been left alone she then answered her husband's previous question telling him, "We're set on the plot right?"
"I think so," Castle said, nodding his head. "The poisonings."

"Yes but we're not making it like the-" Beckett started to say.

"No it'll be a mix of that and the idea we had of a boyfriend killing exes," Castle said. "Since we want to segue into Moor proposing to Green."

"That will work," Beckett said. "But there's an issue with poisoning you didn't see," she then said after eating another spoonful of her sorbet.

"No I realize that but what would you like to do instead?" Castle said quickly.

"I don't know, let's think about that some more," Beckett told him. After he'd nodded she looked down at his plate and said, "Are you ready?"

"Yeah," Castle said simply before they then stood up together. He held his arm out to his wife before they were leaving and he led them over to the woods where he guessed his wife would want to go. He was a little startled when suddenly she was pulling him over to the path back to the manor itself.

Beckett didn't stop until they near the Ogham stones and she turned to her husband, kissing him deeply just before he could do that himself. They clung tightly together and she felt pleasure rush through her before finally they were parting, panting heavily as they pressed their foreheads together before he spoke first.

"I hate to say it yet again, déjà vu," Castle told her.

Smiling at him Beckett said, "It does but why don't we walk this time?"

With a nod Castle then reached for her hand and held it tightly before they started to walk through the trees. They were quiet for a while before he then said, "I have to admit it feels like it's way earlier than it is."

Beckett smiled, as the sun was just barely going down then, and told him, "You would have still taken me back to bed."

"Perhaps…" Castle said slowly. He then smiled at the way his wife slapped his chest with the back of her hand and then said, "You seem to forget that while I enjoy doing that with you we don't need to do that constantly."

"But you would," Beckett teased him.

"Perh- ow," Castle said though he was laughing at the way she socked his arm though she didn't hit him too hard.

Beckett then let go of his hand and at that point walked ahead of him a little faster, smiling back over her shoulder at him. She wasn't surprised when at first he followed but very slowly and then reached her after lengthening his stride. As he wrapped his arm around her waist to pull her close to him she smiled and said, "Good catch."

"That was the weakest escaping I've never seen," Castle told her jokingly before he kissed at the left side of her exposed neck. "You're… I love you," he started to say before finally telling her that.

"Hmm, I love you too," Beckett replied with a sigh as he moved to what he could of her shoulder. She felt him start to freeze suddenly and she asked him, "Our room?"

"I think so," Castle said with a nod before he let go of her reluctantly before he then grabbed her hand. They walked together to the manor and just as they were reaching the edge of the trees he said, "Again, a short walk."

Beckett couldn't help laugh and then said, "Well to be honest there's only so much you can do with going around the forest."

"At least we can see the forest for the trees," Castle said jokingly.

"Which song are you quoting?" Beckett asked as she glanced at him when they stopped. "Paul or Linda Ronstadt?"

"Either one; they're both good songs," Castle said, shrugging his shoulders. "And we left the trees so I guess it doesn't count anymore."

Laughing Beckett nodded and they walked together into the manor, nodding to the man who opened the door for them. They were silent then as they were making their way up to the room and once they were there, the door firmly locked behind them, she said, "How do you want to start?"

"That's more for you to say," Castle said. "Since we're beginning for you."

Smiling, as he had been walking and talking at the same time, Beckett followed him to the armoire and said, "I'm assuming I need to pick."

"You don't need to," Castle said as he was going through his wife's suitcase to find their book. "You want to," he said as he turned to her after finally locating it and then handing the tome to her.

"Don't think you know me," Beckett said though she was speaking jokingly. She wasn't surprised when he leaned over and kissed her temple and she then opened the book, flipping through it before she stopped at a page towards the front.

"It must be the déjà vu theme going on today," Castle said teasingly when he saw the position there.

"Pervert," Beckett told him though she was smiling. "And we've used this often besides our wedding night."

"That's very true," Castle said, nodding his head. "What would you like to do now?"

"Start," Beckett said, giving him a look. She then reached over for him and pulled him to the bed before they stopped in front of it. She then turned to him, wrapping her arms around him as tightly as she could before they were kissing passionately. She groaned slightly when her husband pulled her body harder against his and reached up to the back of his head, gently stroking at it before she slowly pulled away from him.

"So… slowly," Castle stated instead of asking her as they stared at each other.

With a smile Beckett leaned into her husband and kissed him gently on the lips before moving away from him and then going to his side of the bed where she sat down. She was still smiling as she watched her husband rush to her, kneeling before her so he could remove her heels. They were simple black heels that time and she was pleased her idea had worked and she was soon barefoot. But her thought was a brief one as he then began to run his lips up her leg to her knee before she stood with him. She wanted to wrap her arms around him again but waited for him to take off his shoes as well before she then changed her mind.

Castle was slightly startled when his wife grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him back on the bed with her. He didn't try to fight it at all and instead followed easily before they were kissing frantically. Though he didn't really have the room to do so he then began to stroke at her body though there wasn't much that he could really touch on her. But he did what he could and with the way Beckett cupped his cheeks as their kisses became more and more frantic and shorter he knew she was enjoying what he could do. When they slowly parted he told her, "Can I undress you first?"

"No," Beckett said simply. She pushed him gently; just so he would get the picture; and watched him move to stand next to the bed. She sat up on her knees as far as she could so she could begin to unbutton his shirt. As soon as she had it open they were kissing again and she started to caress his bare chest before they slowly parted and she then smiled at him. "You can take care of the rest," she said as she sat back with her legs bent to the side under her.

Castle wanted to comment on that but looking at her as she was undoing her hair from its bun he lost the urge and he took off his shirt before he removed his pants and then his boxers. Once all of those were discarded he climbed back on the bed, kissing her gently until he had to stop himself. Making her turn around he unzipped her dress and helped it off of her before he rushed to the bench at the end of the bed to set it there. He then went back to her as she was laying down in the middle, waiting for him, and he pulled her panties off as quickly as he could. He wasn't surprised when his wife pulled him to her as soon as he was going back to her and after they were pressed up against each other they were kissing almost frantically until she stopped them and they stared at each other for some time and then kissed hard again before she could speak first.

"Are you going to take long?" Beckett was finally able to ask him.

"Already?" Castle asked, slightly interestedly. When she just gave him a look he quickly moved to kiss at her neck and from there he began to descend on her. Moving over her skin he soon found himself at her breasts and once he was there he began to gently kiss over each mound. Once he'd done that for what he felt was long enough he then captured her right nipple with his mouth, suckling on it almost hungrily as she cried out and then grasped the back of his head with her hands.

Raking her nails through her husband's hair Beckett was trying not to be too loud though it was too difficult. In the end she let her cries of pleasure escape her and she held onto him tighter until he was moving so far that he was out of her reach. She had to grasp at the bed beneath her then and she did so, tightly, while his lips were trailing down her abdomen. Soon after he reached the apex of her legs and she was beginning to dig her nails down into the mattress as the pleasure from his tongue starting to lap at her clit was instantaneous. She began to writhe as well, turning back and forth before she realized that her husband was holding onto her thighs which made her shudder in pleasure at his touch.

Castle was doing his best to try and keep his wife steady enough so he could work on her when something hit him. He recalled the position that she'd found in the book and he hurried to get them to that point. Luckily she was remembering as well so she bent her knees and he was holding her legs as he went to her entrance, lapping at her slick folds. When he felt and then tasted how aroused she was he was suddenly fighting with himself so he wouldn't get out of control. It took him a little time but he was able to do so enough so he could concentrate on his wife and pleasure her. After he'd been doing that for a while he then slowly pulled away and blew gently against her skin.

Crying out and her back arching in pleasure Beckett was clawing a little at the bed below her to try and get a distraction and also to use as a hold on her sanity. When her husband stopped working on her she immediately felt the pressure on her ease up and relaxed, reaching for him to stroke his hair with her hand. "You're going to have to do that… a lot," she began before finishing that as she had as she wasn't sure how else to put it.

"I know but what if we just took a longer break? I have been working on you for a while right?" Castle asked her.

"I think so, I have no idea how long," Beckett replied honestly. She then reached down to him and pulled him to her before they lay on their sides and began to kiss passionately. They were kissing so hard that her lips almost felt like they were swelling up and she loved the sensation. So she was nearly whimpering when they parted and said, "We can do that for a while."

"Good," Castle said simply but in obvious relief as he leaned over to her and kissed her harder. His tongue slipping into her mouth they were soon rolling their tongues around each other until he had to stop to allow them to breathe again. "You don't have to do the same for me," he told her.

At that Beckett sat up and with a slight smirk told him, "You might not think that but I do." She leaned over and kissed him gently before she then told him, "I want to."

Castle reached up to his wife and then pulled her back down to him before they were soon kissing again. He was cupping the back of her head and as soon as they began to playfully duel together once more he was gently working his fingers through her hair. He stroked the locks very carefully until finally they were stopping again and he moved to wrap his arms around her as they just looked at each other for a long time. "Okay… we should start again," he finally had to tell her.

"I thought I would break first," Beckett said with a smile before she was suddenly moving at his brief touch. She lay down again and bent her knees as they were before, her husband then burying his face in between her legs. As he started on her again she wasn't surprised when the pleasure hit her again and rapidly, trying to keep from falling over the edge too quickly. She somehow managed to do that for a little longer and reached down at some point, holding onto his head as tightly as she could without hurting him to withstand it for just a little bit more.

Though it was a shock to Castle to be suddenly grabbed he did his best to recover and was soon doing so. After pulling away for a moment to catch his breath he then moved back to her before he proceeded to lap at her again. His own arousal was not so easily forgotten though but he was doing his best to ignore it so he could pleasure her until she was starting to writhe faster than she had been doing before.

Crying out her husband's name as loudly as she could Beckett thought wildly in her ecstasy that she had no idea how she wasn't hitting her husband with her knees. But he was still working over her sex and she continued to feel him until finally the pleasure eased off and she lay limp on the bed, unaware of where her husband was as she was recovering.

While his wife was laying there Castle was moving to lie next to her and he wrapped his arms around her once more, kissing at her temple lovingly. "You're incredible you know," he told her with a smile.

"I hope so," Beckett said, smiling at him as she finally could open her eyes.

"You are; all around," Castle reassured her as he knew what she was indicating with that. He leaned over and kissed her forehead before he said, "Let's rest a little okay?"

"Are you-" Beckett started to say as she was aware of how aroused her husband was. But she couldn't finish that as she was suddenly being kissed though soon she responded to him and they were fighting almost wildly together before she moved to push him onto his back without using her hands.

Castle grunted as his wife laid on him, stretched across him, and he did his best to respond to her until they were pulling away. Since they were panting so hard he tried to recover so he could speak but she was soon kissing him and he threw what he was going to say out the window as he hurried to respond to her. They were soon delving into more of those until finally they were stopping and pressing their foreheads together tightly. They were there a while until she was pulling away and he touched her shoulders before letting go to allow her to begin.

Beckett began to kiss her way over her husband's chest and then went down further with each pass of her lips until finally she had reached his erection that by then was on his stomach. There she pulled away carefully and then moved up to give him a kiss on the lips before she then went back down. Taking his length by the hand she gently began to run it up and down, keeping her eyes on her husband to watch him and his reactions to her.

Clenching his teeth together at the shock her touch provided him Castle tried his best not to grab at her hair too tightly though he was holding it as he needed an anchor. He vaguely recalled her doing the same to him when he'd been pleasuring her and he tried to focus on that before he was groaning her name loudly. He hadn't seen it but at some point she had lowered her mouth around him and was soon beginning to bob it up and down around him. Hissing a few times as he just felt her he stroked her hair, trying not to be too rough before he then felt her stopping. "You-" he began to say in shock as he watched her.

Smiling as she'd gotten up to sit on her knees Beckett then said, "I didn't ask if you wanted a position too." When her husband just shook his head, his eyes slightly wide, she tried not to smile again and then leaned down kissing him on the lips tenderly once more. Without anymore hesitation she went back down on him and then took him back into her mouth. She immediately began to bob her head up and down as she'd been doing before and she used her tongue at the same time to give him even more pleasure. Hearing him groan she went a little faster before she brought her hands into play then and felt him reaching down to grab her head in response.

Doing his best not to hurt his wife again Castle forced himself to stroke her hair before he then opened his eyes and looked down at her. Watching her closely he bit at his lower lip as hard as he could, the pain not even registering as the pleasure she was providing him was so great. His heart was thudding in his chest at the way that the pleasure was as if it was a wave, rolling around every inch of his body. It was an intense heat and he was panting harder and harder with every pass of his wife's mouth. When she soon after that moved away from him he said, "You didn't have to stop."

"It's necessary," Beckett said, smiling at him. She kissed him; lingering that time around; before she pulled away and then told him, "But not for that long." She wasn't surprised when her husband nodded and she then proceeded to kiss around his chest as she'd done before. That time though she was a little more deliberate until she was back at his erection though she was holding it off of his stomach. With it back in her mouth she moved around him slowly at first before she proceeded to speed up. She kept her eyes on him the entire time to just watch and make sure she would know when he was going to climax.

Castle lost all track of time then and he fought with himself again though he was trying his best to last just a little longer. He felt that finally he had done so and he whispered his wife's name once before he then felt his back almost snapping in half as he arched it roughly. "Kate… love…" he was able to yell before he then began to chant just her name. The pleasure was overwhelming in him and even with that he was trying to make it last longer. He wasn't sure how much time it took him until he was stopping, slumping down onto the mattress hard as he continued to say his wife's name. "Kate…" he murmured, reaching down for her.

Moving up to him Beckett shared a deep, passionate kiss with him that she had no idea how they managed to make last as long as they did. But she felt her pleasure rising; as it had been doing while she'd pleasured him; and she allowed Castle to soon turn her onto her back and with him sliding within her she knew they were going to spend their night making the most of their time alone together.


Running his hand over his wife's back Castle said in a murmur, "Are you comfortable?"

"If I wasn't I would stay," Beckett replied simply before she then moved her head to look at him. She smiled and said, "So night two."

"I know," Castle replied, caressing her still. "And we have a couple more," he said, smiling. When she laughed softly he then asked her, "I have to ask, how often do you want to do this?"

"We have to rest at some point," Beckett said, smiling. "I think it's better if we do that the night before we meet them."
Castle breathed out and then said, "Good point. But you do realize that I meant it in general."

"I did," Beckett said. "And really… whenever we would like to; like we always do. If I'm tired and you're tired then we shouldn't force ourselves."

"I agree," Castle told her. "We need to rest at some point."

Beckett smiled again and then said, "You're still a pervert."

"I thought I'd try," Castle said before he then helped her get off of him and lay against his side. He wrapped his arms around her securely telling her, "I love you for wanting to do this with me… As many times as we have."

"Rick after five years…" Beckett began in a mock serious voice. She then kissed him and told him seriously, "I love doing this with you and believe me when I say I'm not tired of it at all."

Shuddering in pleasure Castle said, "I love you Kate."

"I love you too Rick," Beckett replied before she leaned over and kissed him deeply on the lips again. She felt his hands all over her, making her shiver in pleasure, and once they'd finally parted she pressed her forehead against his. They did that for some time before he then made her lay back against him and said, "Do you wonder?"

Since his wife had pulled his hand to her abdomen Castle said, "Let me say this first, whatever happens we still have each other and the girls."

"I'm not worried," Beckett was quick to assure him. "I just hope…"

"Me too," Castle said, nodding to her rapidly. He then leaned down and shared a kiss with her, shorter, before they parted and he told her, "We'll be alright my love."

"I know," Beckett said with a nod. She then said, "I miss them."

"I do too but they'll be having a great time," Castle said. "But we are talking to them tomorrow."

"We will," Beckett said, a smile on her face. "I don't think they'd let us get away with that for a second time." She then studied her husband and asked, "Do they know what we're doing?"

"Yeah, they wanted to make sure we were going to do something fun," Castle said, smiling himself then. "When Eliza heard we'd be going back to Dunmore she was ecstatic-"

"And jealous," Beckett said with him at the same time. She then laughed softly and said, "I'm not surprised. But since you brought that up we should get to sleep or else we'll just be napping on the beach."

"And Eliza will be furious," Castle said as he then got up to reach down to the sheet to pull it up over them.

"Julia too," Beckett said with a smile as she looked at him. They shared a kiss and then settled down before she told him, "Night Rick."

"Night my love, sweet dreams," Castle told her, holding her as tightly as he could to him.

"Sweet dreams," Beckett said softly. She relaxed then and closed her eyes, the sensation of both her husband caressing her arm and the satiety from their long night together creating a deep sense of joy that stayed with her as she soon fell asleep in his embrace.
