TORONTOSUN (It was nice seeing that you like Skye's family very much since I was hoping readers would enjoy that bit with them. And of course, happy you thought it was great writing all around!),
Guest (I was happy to see that you thought the chapter was so good. And interesting there's a Castle Pornado, lol, somehow it doesn't really surprise me. But it was nice that you think I should be participating in that since you said I write hot love scenes for Castle and Beckett. You're welcome for the chapter!) and
Mb (It was really nice to see you thought the chapter was a very sweet update. And I'm very pleased that you love seeing Iris and Ivy in their new home along with the joy at their loving family with their moms, sisters and grandad that love them as you put it. I had to laugh when you said you missed the 'puppies' too, but I'm glad you liked when Eliza squealed that in her joy in the chapter. I wasn't surprised that you thought it was good the dogs are going with them to LA, since yeah they could be there for some time. And I'm happy you love seeing Alexis and Louis together and being with the family as well. Of course, great you thought the chapter was a sweet transition one. You're welcome for sharing the first half of the chapter! Nice to read you thought the second half was a fantastic update. And great you loved the beginning with them at the beach. Not surprised you mentioned that the girls would love making sandcastles and cities like their mom and dad. I was happy that you enjoyed Alexis and Louis being shown as adults. Actually, what you said about them reminding you about a young Castle and Beckett if they'd met younger and her mother hadn't been killed makes sense since I've imagined AU stories with that before, lol, it probably extended to Alexis and Louis. I wasn't surprised that you think Julia's nightmare might be nerves about the show too, lol, that would happen. And I wasn't surprised either that you're wondering about Tyson if he might return since you're right he doesn't leave Castle and Beckett in peace. Really glad you enjoyed the hotness of Castle and Beckett and said they were special, loving and hot. Definitely Caskett always. And you're very welcome for the second half of the chapter too!).
Thanks so much for the reviews, loving reading them and I appreciate the time taken to write them out and send them my way!
A/N #2: The title of this chapter is a lyric from the song Karma Chameleon by the band Culture Club and Phil Pickett, from the band's album Colour by Numbers.
Loving In Your Eyes
The thud of their horse's hooves was loud between Castle and Beckett as they rode down the path they'd taken from the stables. They soon found themselves leaving the trees and coming into the clearing that they'd been told about from the workers. After they'd slowed their houses down, they found the opening to the field that the stables owned, and they headed inside.
"Around?" Castle asked his wife.
"Of course," Beckett said. "But not too many times."
"Sure," Castle replied before they urged their horses to gallop, going around the edge of the field in circles. They went a few times before he could see her slowing down and he hurried to do the same. Once they were setting their horses at a walk, he said to her with a smile, "That was nice."
"Are you worried I might complain about the time we rode?" Beckett asked him, smiling herself.
"Slightly, but of course they can't all have the land our stables do," Castle said. "You'll let me know when we can stop right?"
"Here," Beckett told him, smiling at him. She brought her horse to a stop and said, "Good?"
"There's shade," Castle commented.
Beckett laughed and then said, "That's why I chose it," before she was dismounting into his arms as he'd gone straight to her after getting off his horse. She let him tie their horses while she got the blanket for their picnic ready and he grabbed their bag that held their breakfast. It was the seventeenth of August and their sixth anniversary they were celebrating in Adare and they had spent their morning riding to head out for a quick breakfast. She couldn't help recalling how they had kissed each other once they'd gotten dressed and how they'd had to stop each other from doing anything more than that.
"What is it?" Castle asked, watching his wife as he was sitting down next to her to find her staring ahead of herself.
"I'm just remembering this morning," Beckett replied, taking a carafe of juice out from the bag. She pulled out the bread next and some cheese before saying, "Did you ask for these?" as she pulled out some blueberries last.
"They're fresh from this area," Castle said, nodding his head.
Shaking her head, Beckett reached over to her husband and cupped his cheek before they started to eat. They were quiet at first before she said, "What do you think?"
"It's great," Castle said with a smile, looking around them. "Did you want to do this again today?" he asked, turning to her.
"We don't need to," Beckett said. She wasn't surprised when he looked at her in surprise and said, "Once was nice but I'd rather do something else before we need to head back home."
"I agree," Castle said. He smiled when his wife rolled her eyes, while smiling herself, and he turned back to the food with her until they were splitting the berries. They ate those in silence for a bit before she was squeezing his arm and he glanced at her, seeing the slight smile on her face before she spoke.
"I know you want to ask," Beckett commented.
"Just one try?" Castle asked.
"Twelve-year-old," Beckett muttered under her breath though she spoke jokingly. She took one of the last berries, wondering if she could comment on how he looked with his mouth open, but soon threw it as she knew he'd been tempted to ask her.
"Ow," Castle said laughingly when the blueberry hit his forehead. "I guess I was asking for that. Luckily you're a good shot or that might have been my eye." He noticed they had finished everything, and he asked, "Ready?"
"Yeah," Beckett said. "But we'll walk alright?"
"The entire way?" Castle asked in surprise as he was shaking out the blanket they'd been sitting on.
"No, but for now…" Beckett said simply. She watched him attach the bag with everything to his saddle and waited for him to untie the horses. When he walked over to her, she was quick to act, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him before he could do so to her. But he was quick to recover, and they were kissing one another passionately, his hands roaming over her back before she pulled away.
"We… we should go," Castle said before his wife could. When she nodded, he leaned over and brushed her lips before confessing, "I wanted to do that after we ate the blueberries."
Letting go of him and making sure he did the same with her Beckett said, "We just did."
"True," Castle replied as he recalled having tasted the berries slightly during their kiss. He then distracted himself from that pleasing thought to hold her horse as she got into the saddle. He hurried to get onto his own and once they were ready, they were setting off out of the field to get back to the path so they could return to the stables.
They were silent for a while until Beckett looked over at her husband and she could see the expression on his face. "What is it?" she asked.
"I wanted to stay in the field longer," Castle said guiltily. "Not race back to the room."
"We're not," Beckett said gently. "And I wanted to go back."
Breathing out Castle said, "We're still going to the pool, right?"
"After lunch," Beckett told him firmly. "This was what I wanted to do Rick, don't worry," she then said as she held her hand out to him. When he took it, she squeezed it and told him, "And you I'm hoping."
"You think I'd feel that guilty?" Castle asked wryly though he knew she was joking. He squeezed her hand before they let go of each other and without another word started to gallop the rest of the way.
When they had reached the stables, they dismounted and though Beckett wanted to take care of her horse she had to let the stable hand grab the reins. Watching the workers take their horses she turned to her husband and said, "Let's go."
Nodding his head, Castle took her hand again as they walked to their rental car they'd gotten in Cork the day before. He thought of something and said, "We're going out tomorrow, I forgot."
Beckett couldn't help laughing softly at his amazed tone and said, "Yes, I want to get the girls gifts."
"Still getting used to that?" Castle asked in slight amusement as they were standing next to the car, not surprised she was giving him a look before she spoke.
"It just happened three days ago Rick," Beckett said. She then smiled and got into the car before she waited for her husband to get in the driver's seat. "AJ came through in a big way."
"I know," Castle said, as everything to officially change their daughters' last names and for Beckett to adopt Alexis had been finalized on the fourteenth. He looked at his wife briefly, smiling as he recalled that evening after their lawyer had left.
"Come on you two," Louis said. "I feel like playing fetch with your dogs."
Watching the young man leave with everyone else except Alexis and Castle, Beckett turned to her oldest daughter and then said, "That's going to take getting used to."
"What?" Alexis asked with a smile as her stepmother was doing so.
"I just thought of you as my oldest daughter," Beckett replied. "But give me a little time."
"You know Julia's still-" Alexis said slowly.
"Yes, but in the scheme of things you are the oldest," Beckett interrupted, smiling at her.
"I guess I should stop thinking of you as my stepmother," Alexis said thoughtfully.
"You don't need to if you'd-" Beckett started to say.
"You're my mother now," Alexis said. She then breathed out and said, "I'll think of you as that since… it's what I wanted… Ma."
Beckett was smiling again, and she stepped up to her daughter, wrapping her arms around Alexis and embracing her tightly a few seconds before she was hugging her back. "Any awkwardness?" she asked.
"Sounded great to me," Castle couldn't help saying as he needed to get a slight distraction from the sudden rush of love he felt for his wife and their daughter. He laughed when the two let go of each other and turned to him and he wasn't surprised when Alexis spoke first.
"At least it does," the young woman said, glancing at her mother.
"Oh, I know," Beckett said, smiling as Castle looked a little confused. She went to him and kissed his cheek before telling him, "Are you happy?"
"Extremely but what matters more is if our daughter is," he said, hugging her to him.
Turning to her head Beckett said, "That's true."
"I am," Alexis said, shaking her head in mock annoyance at the two before she hugged them together. She was a little startled at how it felt when they embraced her at the same time but smiled before they let go of each other and then went together to the backyard.
Letting their daughter go down to join her sisters, Beckett held Castle back when he was about to go down the stairs and she murmured to him, "I love you Rick."
"I love you too Kate," Castle said, hugging her to him again.
They stood there for a bit, watching their family until Beckett shared a look with her husband and they smiled at each other before they headed down the stairs together and joined their daughters with the dogs.
"Alright?" Castle asked his wife as he watched her get out of the car.
"I am," Beckett said with a smile. "Just… thinking."
Nodding Castle squeezed her hand at the doorman's greeting and they replied in turn before they walked into the hotel. He nodded to the concierge that had greeted them and breathed out slightly when they were in the elevator. When his wife squeezed his arm, he looked at her and said, "Should I have said something?"
"No," Beckett said slightly laughingly. "I need to take a shower."
"I guess I do too," Castle said, pretending to think that over for a moment. He then smiled and said, "I had a feeling you know."
Since the car had stopped Beckett stepped out and when he had as well told her husband, "Oh I did, I just felt like making an announcement."
"Great," Castle said simply, taking her hand before they walked together down the hall to their suite. When they were inside the room, he locked the door before he followed her over to the bathroom asking, "This door?"
"Close it," Beckett replied, sitting down on the bench against the wall that was next to the doorway. She looked up at him as he stood in front of her and said, "A shower."
"I know," Castle said simply.
"Pervert," Beckett told him as she unzipped her left riding boot. Getting that one off and then the right she stood, unbuttoning her polo shirt. "And with that I don't want anything more than touching here; light touching."
"I'd like the same thing," Castle said. He smiled when his wife looked at him slightly doubtfully and told her, "Honestly; I'd like to go out to the bed."
"Good," Beckett said. "Come on," she told him when he was about to speak. She went back to undressing, taking off her top first and her khakis before she then got her bra and panties off as her husband was trying to watch her and get his clothes off. She traced his jaw once she finished, slipping into the shower before he was following her only a moment later.
"I need this at least," Castle breathed out to his wife after they'd stopped kissing.
"Of course, but do you want to take that long?" Beckett asked him.
"Not really," Castle said rapidly before his mouth was descending on hers again. They kissed for a while before he stopped himself and said, "Did you want to wash your hair?"
Beckett smiled, hearing the way he was forcing himself to speak, and she told him once she had recovered enough herself, "I would, I smell like a horse."
"Me too," Castle replied, nodding. "Let's get started." He kissed her and proceeded to run his hands along her back before they stopped, and he explained, "I wanted to start rinsing you off."
"Pervert," Beckett said, letting him go so she could stand fully underneath the water.
Though he wanted to kiss her more, Castle decided there would be time for that the rest of the day and he joined her underneath the water so they could clean each other. He was pleased at how much they needed to clean one another since it meant they could at least touch their bodies until he turned off the water. He was able to grab her towel and he quickly dried off her body saying, "Wait for me?"
"I will outside," Beckett replied with a smile before she left the room to him.
"Vixen," Castle called out to her as she was taking off her towel she'd wrapped around her when he'd finished. He turned his attention to himself and dried off as fast as he could before he was rushing out into the bedroom.
"Where's your towel?" Beckett asked with a smile as her husband had come to the bed completely naked.
"I lost it," Castle said simply before he climbed onto the mattress and took her lips with his. They were rough and passionate, making him shudder as the smack of their lips was incredibly noisy in the quiet of the room. When they stopped he breathed, "Six years Kate… I love you."
"Hmm, I love you too," Beckett said, sighing as her husband kissed her neck. "Take me Rick."
Kissing her, Castle gripped her right hip, feeling her moving and realizing soon after that her legs were parting for him. He let her reach for his erection, letting her guide him though he knew she was using her first two fingers as well to feel for her sex. He was breathing hard already at how erotic the thought of that was and when he could finally slip inside of her he did so slowly, making them both groan together at the sensation of their skin meeting. When he stopped, he felt her hands holding tightly onto his shoulders and he murmured her name as her legs wrapped around his waist.
When her husband began to thrust, Beckett let out a soft sound of joy that expressed her pleasure though he was going very slowly. She couldn't help thinking; as she always did when they made love and for a moment; of their very first time together and how the sensation and the thrill of their intimacy hadn't changed. She wrapped her legs a little tighter about him when their lips met, and she responded to him as passionately as she could before he broke apart. "Oh… Rick… we'll… I…" she tried to say as he kissed around her jaw and then went to her neck.
"I want this, I fucking need this love," Castle said huskily as he moved so his lips were against hers. He wasn't sure how it came to mind but suddenly he began rolling his hips on her, grunting while his wife cried out in pleasure. He was still going slowly and there was no surprise when he could feel how wet she was, and he had to close his eyes as they started to roll back in his head.
Running her hand down along their legs where they were pressed tightly together, Beckett moaned into Castle's mouth as he'd come down to her lips to kiss her. When they parted to breathe after the second one, she raked her nails over his scalp before she reached for his shoulders. She gasped and dug her nails slightly into his back when she felt him thrusting up instead of inside her. "Don't," she whispered.
"No?" Castle asked. When she shook her head, he nodded and then began to thrust slowly normally again she ran her hands over his hair tenderly, kissing him back as he was covering her mouth with his lips. He wasn't surprised when her tongue was inside his mouth soon after they started, and he was quick to duel with her. They were rolling around together shortly after and he couldn't help grunting repeatedly as the taste of her was exploding in his mouth. He managed to gently get her back inside her mouth, but they didn't remain there long as they went back to his.
"Rick," Beckett gasped as she stopped the kiss when he changed his angle slightly and he was brushing against her clit. "Please… oh… touch me," she begged him. She bit at her lower lip and faltered in her own thrusts for a moment when he ran his hand down her side, staying away from her breast. She couldn't help feeling a little frustrated at him having to do that, but her skin was literally tingling at his touch, so she consoled herself with that. She brought him back to her lips while his hand was running down her thigh and they kissed roughly again while their bodies were struggling to move slowly still.
"Kate if I-" Castle started to say before she was covering his mouth with her hand.
"Don't worry, I know… you can't help it," Beckett moaned as he was moving even slower than before. She could feel him more deliberately and said, "But try."
"Yeah," Castle breathed out, that reminding him why they liked to start their anniversaries by taking things slowly. He was able to get back to his slower pace as she was stroking his back at the same rhythm and he kissed her, going very gently until they parted as they were breathing roughly in pleasure. "Kate… are you…" he said after what felt like a few minutes though was only half of one.
"I am… oh… we waited… just make me come!" Beckett said, exclaiming at the end as he thrust into her clit. With him doing that a few more times she cried out and started to climax, calling his name repeatedly before she could feel him joining her.
Doing his best not to move too rapidly as his pleasure was a little rough, Castle called to his wife and said her name in a kind of chant until he came to a stop quickly. "Love," he said simply before she was reaching up to him and they kissed again. That time they made it sensuous together and when they stopped, he carefully pulled away from her and lay next to her, gathering her in his arms.
Pressing her cheek to his shoulder, Beckett said with a smile, "Should we have done that in the shower?"
"It was perfect how it was," Castle said, kissing the top of her head after he'd spoken. He then smiled and said, "But yeah, I can see there's a little problem with celibacy. Why do we keep doing that to ourselves?"
"Masochists?" Beckett asked. She wasn't surprised when he laughed, and she continued saying, "Maybe just with each other."
"Weak masochists," Castle replied, and he heard his wife laughing a bit before he pulled her closer to him. "What would you like to do now love?"
Pushing herself up, Beckett looked around the room for a moment before she said, "Why don't we get something to drink?"
"I'll get it," Castle said, sitting up hurriedly and kissing her shoulder in passing.
"You know I get aroused watching you walk around too," Beckett told him teasingly. When he smirked at her over his shoulder she said, "Pervert," as she lay back against her pillows. "Rick?" she said finally when he walked back to her. Seeing he was watching her she asked, "Did you ever expect this?"
Shaking his head Castle gave her the glass he was holding before he said as he climbed on, "I had no reason to until now. But let's get you hydrated." He smiled when his wife playfully narrowed her eyes at him until she finished sipping the water and he took the glass, drinking himself before moved to set it down on the nightstand. He paused when he felt her drape over his back, her lips peppering his shoulders with rapid kisses before she spoke.
"I want to be fucked now Rick," Beckett murmured against his skin, resting her lips against the junction of his neck and shoulder. She couldn't help smiling as she could feel him tensing up and she added, "I want us to fuck."
Castle turned around quickly and then kissed his wife passionately, holding her tightly against his chest as he cupped the back of her head with his right hand. When they parted, he said, "So do I." They brushed their lips together for a bit before they pulled away and he said at the same time as her, "The desk." When she smiled, he brushed his lips to hers and said, "I'm so glad it's still here."
Nodding, since the hotel had undergone a renovation in the last year and that had included their entire suite though it was still predominantly blue in its color palette, Beckett said, "I suppose people need it." She let her husband pull her to him and they were kissing again, gently but deeply, before they were slowly parting. She smiled and said, "You need to get a towel."
"I don't want to leave," Castle commented though he let go of her as he spoke. He brushed his lips to hers and then got off the bed and went into the bathroom as fast as he could. He was just grabbing one of the spare towels when he heard his wife calling out to him. "What?" he asked, going to the doorway and spotting her immediately at the windows next to the table. "Hey, what if someone sees you?" he asked, jogging the few steps to her.
"Oh good," Beckett said simply, taking the towel from him. Before he could ask her what she meant she said, "Get everything off."
Castle exhaled hard and then went to the desk, getting the lamp and phone off to set them down on the floor. He watched her set the towel on top once he was done and he reached for her ass, cupping it with both his hands as he nearly growled in her ear, "Are you trying to make me jealous?"
"No, those are- Rick!" Beckett cried out in pleasure when he slapped her gently. She leaned her hands on the desk and said, "They're small windows and the sun is going to block me you know." She cried out a second time when he slapped her again and bit her lower lip, looking back at him over her shoulder as he began to speak.
"You were trying to make me jealous," Castle told her. He made her turn around and when he saw the way she was smiling at him he crushed his lips to hers, pulling her against him again. That time he could feel a lot more and feeling the way his wife moaned into his mouth he knew she could feel his arousal. When they managed to stop, he asked her, "How?"
Brushing her lips against her husband's, Beckett let go of him and turned back around to the desk, placing her hands on it. She hissed in surprise as her husband was slapping her ass again and she said, "That's enough."
"I was waiting for that," Castle said, going to her as quickly as he could and then grasping his arousal. He moved a little while she looked back at him, and they were both groaning in pleasure at their skin touching since he brushed against her. "Should I apologize?" he asked since he could see he'd gotten her a bit wet with the few times his length rubbed against her skin.
"I'll be doing the same to you when I'm… on top," Beckett said, gasping as he gave a firm thrust once he'd slipped the tip inside of her and they were coupled tightly. "But later," she breathed out as he was moving behind her a little. She knew he was teasing her, but she withheld saying anything about that because she couldn't really, and he was soon after placing his hands directly next to hers on the edge of the desk. She tangled her pinkie fingers with his index fingers and told him, "Fuck me lover," her voice thick with her arousal. And she was soon crying out his name when he began to thrust and did so hard, making her nails dig into the towel before she tilted her head back against his shoulder as she whispered his name.
Though their lips couldn't meet exactly Castle kissed what he could, going down the side of her neck before he was breathing against her shoulder as the pace he was going at was taking more of his attention. He didn't want to break the slight hold they had of each other's fingers, but he couldn't stop himself from reaching up and holding onto her stomach to feel her moving. He kissed both her shoulders and then slid his hand down, lightly rubbing at her clit before she was calling to him to stop. "What's wr-" he started to say in concern as he pulled away from her carefully.
"No, I didn't want you to do that," Beckett said. "I'm ready to move."
"Or turn," Castle couldn't help saying as she was doing that. When she just looked at him, he said, "Not even a glare…"
"Do you want me to get on here and take care of myself?" Beckett asked him simply. When he immediately grabbed her hips, she smirked at him before she hopped up onto the desk while he helped her when she needed it. Parting her legs as soon as she felt comfortable she said, "Do you want me to?"
"No," Castle said roughly as she was fingering her own folds. He grabbed her wrist gently and took her hand within his, making her curl it around his erection before he moved as she gently pulled him. Once he was fully inside of her again he didn't let much time pass before he was thrusting again and kissing her at the same time. Since he could he was running his hands around her back and running his fingers through her hair before they needed to catch their breath and he moved to bury his face into her neck as her nails began to scrape along his scalp and shoulders at the same time.
"Oh… Rick… harder," Beckett gasped out as she wrapped her legs around her husband. It let her move with him and they were moving the desk as well though it was hard to hear it hitting the wall behind her since she was crying out to him every time their hips slammed together. Her sex where they were joined felt as if it was literally on fire and it wasn't ceasing as the friction between them was constant from her husband. She held onto him a little tighter before she murmured, "Slow down."
Castle nearly froze at her request and he pulled back so he could look at her, seeing she was serious. He took the time to kiss her, doing so gently and sensuously, before he thrust slowly three times, picking up his speed for the next five. He wasn't sure how he settled on that rhythm but didn't really think about that for long as Beckett was gasping to him that she loved him. He kissed her again and while he was doing that he moved his hands down to her ass, grasping it firmly and losing the varying pace he'd had. When he heard no protest from his wife he continued, their tongues tangling around one another roughly before they were gasping for air.
"You need… need to make me come…" Beckett moaned as her husband had her lean back on his hands that were behind her. The difference in angle affected her swiftly and she was beating the heels of her feet against his ass, not sure if that was a distraction or a necessity. But when her orgasm suddenly snapped through her body she knew it was the latter and she called her husband's name, needing more contact with him than she already had as she sat up fully. She was holding onto him tightly as her entire body undulated, the ecstasy almost too much to take. When her husband straightened and froze for an instant she was soon after outright screaming his name once as he pushed her to a second orgasm the instant she could feel his. She was clinging to her husband out of outright desperation, not really wanting to pass out. But just as she thought she would end up doing that, her body was stopping abruptly, and she would have fallen back if her husband wasn't holding her still. She gasped in pleasure since he was still thrusting and at the last two she ended up moaning as they were arousing her hypersensitive sex already. But he stopped, and she quickly relaxed though she was caressing the back of his head and then kissed the top of it while he was pressing his face to her neck. "Rick," she said gently when she felt a little stronger.
Though he felt it took too much effort, Castle still moved, and he then withdrew from her slowly before they gasped once he was fully out of her. "I wonder why that was so…" he started to say, helping her down though he didn't need to. "Are we doing this again?" he asked as he studied the towel.
Shaking her head, Beckett was about to tell him that they should try to at least start with different positions when he was scooping her up into his arms. "It's not that far to the bed," she said with a laugh.
"Still, that was a lot," Castle replied.
"For you!" Beckett said with a smile. She then kissed his cheek and hugged him tightly saying, "So you should rest."
"I know, I should," Castle said, nodding. He set her down on the side of the bed; knowing she wanted that; and he went back to the desk so he could throw the towel into the bathroom. When he got to the bed, he saw Beckett was sitting up on the pillows in the middle of the bed and he said, "I've been waiting to do that."
"Because we did it before?" Beckett asked him, reaching up to him as he moved to lay on her though he was able to keep his weight off her. When he nodded seriously, she laughed softly and said, "I'm not surprised." She paused as he looked at her expectantly and added, "I've been too." As they kissed she caressed his hair until he was pulling away and kissing at her neck again. She quickly stopped him and said, "I should confess something to you."
"You were hoping someone would see you?" Castle asked with a smile.
Shaking her head Beckett said, "I wanted to see how you'd react to that… and just look outside." When he playfully bit at her collarbone she was laughing softly before she told him, "I was going to tell you to run out of the bathroom when you were getting the towel." She smiled when her husband froze and looked at her with wide eyes before she told him, "Really, it's interesting to see you running."
"Does it move that much?" Castle asked, trying to look down at himself. He wasn't surprised when she pushed up on his chin and he said, "I've never looked at myself doing that."
"No exercising naked?" Beckett said jokingly.
"No," Castle said firmly. "I could do that for you right now if you wanted me to."
Shaking her head, Beckett leaned down and brushed her lips against his before saying, "I'd prefer you to stay here. But there was something I wanted to tell you before you picked me up-"
"Anything," Castle interrupted her.
Beckett smiled and then said as she rubbed his lips with her fingertips, "That we try a different position at the start; at the very least." She couldn't help laughing softly as he was quick to get off her and the bed and rush to the armoire to the right of the bed in the opposite corner. She sat up as he ran over to her and she said, "It does move, more against you," a little surprised when he nearly skidded to a stop next to the bed.
"What?" Castle asked in surprise. He saw his wife wasn't really paying attention to him and he said, his voice becoming husky in arousal, "You look like you're going to eat me."
Taking that as her permission, Beckett took the book from him and threw it onto the chest at the end of the bed before she grabbed him by the hand. She wasn't surprised when he went after her willingly and she made him lay on the bed though his feet were almost on the pillows. "This bed is a little short," she said in amusement as they were both looking down at the other end.
"My feet aren't hanging off the end," Castle said before he froze. "Kate," he literally wheezed out as she was fondling him.
"Rick…" Beckett started to say. She pulled on his hand and then said, "I want you to fuck me."
"Always love," Castle said before they were moving so she was laying on her pillow again. He entered her, and they were moving together hard, her arms and legs wrapping around him tightly so they could feel that same pleasure yet again.
"Was that lunch?" Beckett asked, stepping out of the shower.
Looking over at her, Castle's eyes widened and he then said, "I thought-"
"For when we fucked," Beckett interrupted him, smiling when he literally gulped. She leaned over and kissed him, as she'd walked over to him next to the table, and said, "I decided at the last minute to bring this for moments like this."
"Naked dining?" Castle asked, though he was wearing his pajamas himself.
"Pervert," Beckett said, sharing a kiss with him. When they parted, she sat down on the chair he held out for her and she said with a smile, "But I don't really want to bother with getting dressed… yet."
"Neither did I," Castle replied. He then poured out the tea he'd ordered for them and said, "You realize we haven't used the book though."
"We haven't needed to," Beckett said simply, setting one of the finger sandwiches onto his plate. "But we should after we come back from the pool. She glanced at her husband and smiled when he set down the teapot a little hard saying, "Forgot?"
"I did," Castle said with a sigh. "But don't get me wrong," he said quickly as he realized how that sounded. "I do want to get the chance to swim again."
"I hoped you would," Beckett replied.
"Can we take another shower after?" Castle asked her after they'd taken a bite of the cucumber sandwiches they'd picked up first.
Beckett nodded and when she had sipped some of her tea told him, "I think we should."
"You love the shower, don't you?" Castle asked. When she nodded he said, "Me too, we should see if we can fix ours and put a rainfall shower."
"Wouldn't that take time?" Beckett asked.
"We'd get some consultations, see what needs to be done," Castle replied. "But we'd have to wait until… I guess next year."
"I'd prefer to do that," Beckett said, nodding. "Scone?"
"Yes," Castle said quickly. "Look," he told her as he took the ramekin with preserves. "Blueberries."
"I saw," Beckett said with a smile. "They must be in season. Put those on first."
"I remember," Castle said in mock self-defense. Biting into his scone once he had the clotted cream on it he said, "I have to take it easy."
"We're not having this tomorrow," Beckett said, smiling again. "And we're racing down in the pool."
"Agus gan stopadh anseo," Castle said in Irish though he expected her to call him a pervert since he'd said the phrase and not stopping here. He was startled when she moved to sit on his lap and he was quick to hold her though he started to drop his half-eaten scone.
"Careful," Beckett told him holding it up to him so he could take a bite. Once he'd done so she said, "Níl mé ag iarraidh stop a chur air," which meant that she didn't want to stop either.
Castle brought his wife down to him and they started to kiss, feeling her trembling at first before they were both distracted. When they stopped, he leaned over so he could grab her plate and bring it next to his. He fed her the last bite of her cucumber sandwich inquiring, "Were you okay?"
"I could taste the cream and blueberries on you," Beckett said. She patted her husband's back as he coughed into his teacup and said, "Clotted cream; I'll get that later in the shower. Don't spill," adding the last when he set down his cup a little hard. She kissed at his temple saying, "Will it surprise you that I want you to return the favor."
"No, I'm glad to do it," Castle said. "But we should eat."
"We will," Beckett said, getting the shrimp sandwich.
"Like the two dogs," Castle said eagerly as there was only one of those.
Rolling her eyes Beckett said, "Spaghetti Rick. And don't order that tonight."
"They don't have it on the menu," Castle said simply.
"Are we still eating at the Oak Room?" Beckett asked. When he nodded, she brushed her lips to his and said, "Good."
"You're sure you don't want to go tonight?" Castle asked her with a slight frown.
"I'm very sure," Beckett said, getting her scone. "We're leaving the room enough as it is." She smiled inwardly as she took a bite, her husband's shudder of pleasure not hard to notice. She then kissed his cheek and they turned their attention to the other sandwiches before they split up the different desserts. "Okay," she said, getting off him as she'd stayed on his lap while they'd eaten and fed each other. "I'll change in there-"
"You don't trust either of us?" Castle asked her.
Beckett couldn't help laughing at his tone and she said, "I guess we should try." When he raised and lowered his eyebrows a few times she kissed him, making herself pull away before they could get too involved with that. She went to the armoire and grabbed her bikini and sundress, watching him grab his trunks and clothes next to her. As they walked back to the bed she smiled and turned to him when he had pulled her up against him and making a request she'd been waiting for.
"Can I watch you?" Castle said.
"I get the feeling you would anyway," Beckett said. "Yes, you can," she added with a slight laugh as he was just watching her. They kissed, and she was the one to keep it short before she told him, "But stay on your side of the bed."
"Oh, come on-" Castle started to say as she was walking around it.
"Change Rick," Beckett said with a smile. "I know you want to touch but it'll be better for your trunks if you don't."
"They can handle it," Castle said though he knew she was right. He took off his pajama top but stopped there, watching his wife removing her nightgown before she slipped on her bikini bottoms and then top. Sighing when she looked at him pointedly when she was picking up her sundress he said, "It won't take me long to get ready," though he was already removing his pajama pants.
Beckett got her sundress on and waited for her husband to throw a shirt and jeans on before she went to brush her hair in the bathroom and put it up into a ponytail. "Ready?" she asked him as he had come inside with her to comb his hair.
"Yes… how long are we staying?" Castle couldn't help asking.
"What time do you have?" Beckett asked as she wasn't wearing her watch.
"It's twelve fifteen," Castle said. "An… hour?"
"We still need to shower," Beckett reminded him.
"Right… and then… dry off and wait so we don't look like we were doing anything," Castle said quickly.
"Pervert," Beckett said though she was smiling at him and squeezing his hand to let him know she agreed with him. "I'll get the key." Since that was on the small table by the door, she was first to it and she held it open before her husband walked over to her. Heading out to the elevator she murmured, "We won't swim that long," smiling as he looked at her in surprise before they were stepping into the car with a few other people, knowing he wanted to ask her what that would mean once they were back inside their room.
Castle was trying not to let his frustration show on his face as he wanted to know why they weren't going to go for that long when she had wanted to go. But they were stepping out and he followed his wife over to the pool before they split up to take off their outer layers. Since he was quick he was first out by the water and he glanced around to find it was empty. He looked at his wife and as soon as she was close enough he said, "Why?" in Irish.
With a smile Beckett said simply, "Because we're not here to swim," speaking in the same language though they were alone.
Shuddering Castle said, "I have to do it."
"You won't," Beckett said in amusement, eyeing him. She lightly kicked off her sandals and then said to him, "Are you going in?"
Castle sighed and then said, "We need to share a chair."
"Of course," Beckett said simply before she made her way over to the steps and went down before she parted the water and swam the short distance to the other end. She smiled when her husband was quick behind her and she cupped his cheek telling him, "I can't help it."
"Now you know how I feel constantly," Castle replied. "So… laps?" he asked her as they stared at each other.
"Wait," Beckett said, reaching around to the back of his neck. "I want us to take a shower but hurry and just… use our hands. Our mouths will take too long."
Castle pushed himself closer to her and then whispered into her ear, "Do you want my cock love?" still speaking in Irish.
Beckett brushed her lips against his; though she couldn't help feeling a thrill at his words; and murmured to him, "As much as you want my pussy."
"Vixen," Castle breathed in English before they were kissing one another deeply. He had to stop them though as he was first to recall where they were exactly, and said, "We're not here for that long." He wasn't surprised when his wife nodded rapidly, and they pushed off the end together to start swimming their laps though they were only going back and forth.
Eventually Beckett floated on her back, looking up at the skylight that was new from the renovation. She was startled when she heard something hitting the glass and she straightened up saying, "It's raining," to her husband who was looking out the windows as he was at the end of the pool. "We should get back up to the room," she said, going over to him and touching his back.
Looking at her, Castle was going to speak when he stopped himself and then nodded before they swam swiftly over to the steps and went out to their chair to get their towels. After he'd dried himself off and then rubbed his towel over his hair rapidly, he asked, "Do you want anything up in the room?"
Shaking her head Beckett said, "If you want a snack you can get it." She had expected a wise ass remark about that but when he merely nodded, she realized the effort he'd been making keeping himself calm. She squeezed his hand before they split up to change back into their outer layers. When she was outside, she wasn't surprised to find him waiting for her and she let him take her hand before they made their way up to their room without a word being spoken between them.
At the door, Castle deftly took the key from his wife and opened it, saying with a smile, "After you."
Shaking her head, smiling at him at the same time, Beckett turned her attention to the room and went inside, pausing as she turned her head to look at her husband. "Is this my gift?" she asked in amusement.
"No," Castle said simply, smiling at her before he ushered her inside. When he closed the door and locked it, he said, "I couldn't resist."
"I'm surprised you could keep yourself from getting vases on every table," Beckett said as she had gone straight to the table where they were eating.
"The thought ran through my mind," Castle commented. "But I know you enjoy less."
"This is more than enough," Beckett said, wrapping her arms around his neck and embracing him tightly.
"I love you Kate," Castle said, relieved that she enjoyed his surprise of a vase of white orchids and delphinium flowers.
"I love you too Rick," Beckett replied. When she pulled away, she smiled at him and said, "I think though we need a shower."
"Don't worry, you can thank me there," Castle told her as they walked together over to the bathroom. Inside they undressed each other but were careful not to touch too much before they went into the shower. He couldn't forget their agreement to fool around there but took the time to gently run his fingers through her hair as she was standing underneath the water. "Kate," he said.
"Hmm?" Beckett asked stepping out once she was sure her hair was rinsed off enough. She breathed out a moan as her husband was kissing at her neck. "Here," she told him. "We don't have much time."
Though he knew that was an outright lie, Castle didn't call out his wife and instead nodded, standing under the water himself. He breathed out heavily at her rubbing her hands over his back while the water ran over it. He didn't stay where he was for too long and he quickly turned around, taking his wife in his arms before they were kissing each other wildly. It seemed every time their lips met they were a little annoyed with the way it felt but they didn't stop until the need to breathe more steadily became more necessary. He murmured his wife's name and ran his hands around her back before he was moving her to lean against the wall. They kissed again but that time they were slower and far more sensuous before his right hand was reaching down to cup her sex fully.
"Oh," Beckett gasped softly as her husband was shifting the heel of his hand to rub her clit. She reached down and gently stopped him telling him, "I said no time."
"I know," Castle replied, letting her go before he slid his right hand around to the small of her back. They kissed, their tongues playing a little together in her mouth before he reached down and fingered her clit. That ended the kiss but neither parted as he was rubbing at her gently while he held her up with his other hand. He watched her closely to see her reactions to his touch and he kissed her jaw before she was reaching for him instead of the wall. The shock of her touch to his arm made him groan before he could stop himself and he gasped into her ear, "Touch me at the same time," speaking in Irish before he realized he was doing that.
Beckett's response was to quickly grasp his erection, but she was careful not to do so too hard before running her hand up and down gently to his groan of pleasure. When he returned to pleasuring her she kissed him, and they continued to touch one another intimately until she was breaking first and holding onto him as tightly as she could. She was trying to thrust against his hand, his fingers moving within her, and gasped out his name repeatedly until she was fully spent, leaning against him. "Thank you," she said once she was a little stronger. Before he could say anything, she reached for his length again and proceeded to rub him once more.
Castle wasn't sure how exactly he came to be leaning back against the wall, but he appreciated it happening as he climaxed very shortly after. He was relieved when he was able to call her name a few times, and when he finally stopped he grabbed her to pull her into his arms.
Beckett had been about to speak but decided it didn't matter as she became more involved in responding to her husband. They stood under the water together again after they'd stopped and soaped each other off before they were finished with their shower and stepped out together to dry one another off. "We have a little time you know," she told him once they'd stopped.
"I'm very aware," Castle replied before he picked her up in his arms once he'd pulled her towel off her waist. Since he hadn't put on his towel he was able to get her swiftly to the bed, laying on top of her before she took him in her embrace and they were making love passionately yet again.
