Outside in the bedroom Castle dressed quickly into his tuxedo, leaving his tie off before he went to the window nearest the bed and looked down at the gardens and grounds. He could see some horses in the pasture and watched them for a while until he heard the door opening to the bathroom. Turning quickly to her he said, as soon as he'd laid eyes on his wife, "If you're worried right now that I don't like the way your hair is I wouldn't think that."
"No?" Beckett asked in amusement as she touched the peal pendant of her necklace though she could tell by the expression on her husband's face that he was appreciative of the way she looked. When she reached him and he wrapped his arms around her she knew that for a fact and took his kiss as she held onto him as tightly as she could. It was a simple kiss, though sensuous as well, and when they'd parted she smiled saying, "You don't look too bad yourself."
"Thank you," Castle said. When she started to turn from him, asking about where his tie was, he quickly grabbed her and made her look back at him. "You look stunning my love," he told her, his lips near hers.
Beckett took his kiss, not trying to hold back as she could tell in the crush of his lips on her own that he wasn't himself. She couldn't stop herself from moaning softly into his mouth until finally they were parting and she looked into his eyes as he ran his hands up and down her back. They were warm through her thin gown and she told him as he reached up to run his hand over her hair draped over her left shoulder, "I won't hold you back tonight."
"Don't hold yourself back either," Castle said seriously, staring deeply into her eyes. He smiled with her before they shared a final kiss and he let her go to grab his tie. Once it was on he took her hand and they walked together down the hall to Martha's room where they could see Jim was standing and looking inside.
"Katie," he said as he turned to the two and saw his daughter. A smile spread across his lips and he said as she reached him, "You look beautiful."
"Thank you Dad, I am sorry you're in a tux," Beckett told him as she knew he hated wearing them.
"It's necessary," Jim replied, looking into the room with them. "They're telling us about their visit to the stables."
"Hey," Castle said sharply to get the girls' attention since they were focused on his mother and talking to her.
Beckett wasn't surprised when the girls suddenly gasped in pleasure and rushed over to her saying, "I think you like the dress."
"Beautiful Mommy," Eliza pronounced seriously.
"She's right, it is," Julia said, touching the skirt. "Can you spin?"
"I'll probably do that later tonight," Castle told them. "So you can see it then. Did you mention the gardens at all?"
"They were mainly talking about the horses," Alexis said in amusement, wearing her gown she'd bought in Paris. It was a deep green and when her father motioned for her to go to him she turned saying, "I thought about doing something different."
"It goes with your gram's room," Castle told her. "And that's a good thing," he said quickly to her.
Alexis smiled and kissed her father's cheek before she said, "Jim said it makes my eyes look bluer."
"He has a good eye for color I could tell then," Martha commented.
"He and Mom redid our apartment together when I was around nine years old," Beckett said. "She made sure he was involved."
"Going back to the horses briefly before we head downstairs," Martha said as Jim nodded to what his daughter had said. "Eliza seems to have become interested in becoming a veterinarian?"
"We noticed and we really have no clue where that came in," Castle told her seriously. "But you know if that's what she wants she can always do that around writing books- ow. What?" he asked when Beckett had slightly slapped him on the chest.
"Don't assume she'll want to write," she told him. "And that would be interesting if she went so far to get her PhD. Two doctors in the family," she said to Alexis.
"We'd need to see about Eliza," the young woman replied. "But that would be interesting, you're right."
"We should probably head downstairs," Beckett said, glancing at her husband.
"Or you can join us as we go down," a voice said from the doorway. "Sorry to intrude but we thought to see if you'd like to go with us," Brennan said with his wife, daughter and ward.
"You all look smashing tonight," Clara said. "As my father used to say."
"She's right, he did say that," Brennan said. He then laughed as his wife slapped him on his back for that and said, "But she's also correct in saying you all look great."
"We should get going," Castle said, smiling at his wife before taking her hand before they followed the family out to the staircase to head down to the ballroom.
Looking around the room Becket said to her cousin, "It's an amazing space."
Laughing a little Brennan nodded and said, "That was the same I thought I had when Clara brought me over for the ball my first time here. August first as always."
"Luckily you were able to get over your shock darling and dance," Clara replied, sitting on his other side. "Did you enjoy the dinner?" she directed to Castle and Beckett; the only ones left at the table after the meal as the others had left to speak to people they'd met before the dancing began.
At that same moment Beckett was recalling how she and Castle had stood with her cousin and his wife to greet the incoming guests. They were for the most part curious about them and more than half had known of them already. She then said, "It was great, the corned beef was great."
"Wait until dessert," Brennan said.
"Which you'll need to do," Clara told her husband with slightly narrowed eyes.
"I have a bit of a sweet tooth," Brennan replied.
"So do I, luckily polo is great exercise," Castle commented before sipping the last of his wine.
"It is, we'll have to have a makeshift game," Brennan said. "But dessert we like to travel around the world a bit."
"We'll look forward to that," Beckett said. The music started up then and she smiled when her husband nearly jumped out of his seat. "After we dance," she said, moving to stand as he helped her. Walking to the middle of the room which had been set as the dance floor, she let Castle put his hand on her back before placing hers on his shoulder before they held hands. "That was a nice start," she said with a smile.
"I had wondered if you were going to talk more about our lives," Castle said, trying not to hold her too close. "But interesting to find out about their wedding. Those gardens are a great place to have the ceremony." He then thought of something and said, "Are you surprised they didn't get married in Ireland?"
"No," Beckett said simply. "Though their renewal ceremony for their first anniversary did. But it makes sense."
"I'm glad we're doing that ourselves," Castle commented. "You know we're giving the manor a lot of business."
"I guess so," Beckett said with a slight laugh as her cousin had expressed an interest in taking his wife there. "But the place more than deserves it," she told him before looking up at him. She grew serious when she saw the look on her husband's face and glanced away, seeing that Alexis was dancing on the side of the other couples with Eliza on her hip and Julia was with her father next to them.
"Love," Castle said to get his wife's attention. When she turned back to him he leaned down and kissed her briefly saying, "Not that much left."
"No," Beckett replied, smiling briefly as she knew that he was referring to their anniversary. "I can't wait," she said honestly to him.
"Me too," Castle said. He couldn't stop himself and he wrapped both his arms around his wife, relieved when she did the same to him. "Should have asked Brennan," he murmured to her as they pressed their cheeks together.
"He and Clara are dancing the same way," Beckett told him. She felt him turning to look and smiled before they concentrated on swaying together until the song ended and they parted.
"Are you having fun?" Castle asked the girls when they reached them.
"Yeah," Julia said with a smile. She then looked past her parents and said, "Now you can dance 'lexis."
Glancing over in the same direction that the little girl had, Alexis saw Louis walking over to her and with a smile said, "We'll see."
"Sorry about the first dance, Lady Weston asked me to speak with her son about Oxford," the young man said. "He's thinking of going. But would you like to dance now?"
Watching as Alexis smiled at the young man and nodded before they left Castle turned to his wife and said, "It seems like a lot more than just interest."
Shaking her head as she smiled Beckett said in a low voice, "If it is we'll end up having red headed grandchildren. Come on, let's dance." She grabbed his hand and took him out to the dance floor, that time not bothering to start out conservatively.
Castle was startled by what his wife had said and after he'd recovered he asked, "We?"
"Yes, we Rick," Beckett replied simply. "But I'm speaking hypothetically."
"Thank you for doing that," Castle told her seriously. He then smiled when she rolled her eyes and after she had leaned against him he looked over at his daughter. He was relieved to see the two were dancing in the more conservative position but seeing the smile on Alexis' face as the two spoke he knew that even if they weren't going to be together romantically they would be friends. "So she'll know someone else there," he said to his wife.
Smiling briefly as it had taken him a while to speak again Beckett then said, "She'll have friends." She smiled again when he kissed her cheek and then pressed it against his own as she let herself enjoy his embrace.
After that dance Castle let her dance with her cousin while he danced with the man's wife. He was surprised when the woman asked about their relationship and he said, "Did it seem a little surprising we were married after we told you about our first meeting?"
"Bren and I were startled to hear you two were knew each other for that long before you started to date," Clara said, since they'd talked about their marriages and first meetings while they'd been talking on the phone before the two had arrived that morning. "We've noticed you two are very deeply in love," she commented wryly.
"Oh I know," Castle said. "We get told that a lot. But we had to… be ready for that because neither of us has really been in a relationship like this before."
Nodding Clara said, "I was a little afraid to be with Brennan."
"Is it the Irish, English aspect of you both?" Castle asked her.
"A little but I decided that I was more in love with him than my nationality," Clara answered. "And there was also the fact that neither of us cared we were who we were, as we told you and Kate."
"So that doubt didn't last for too long," Castle said, since he knew they'd been worried at family members protesting their relationship.
"No and in the end no one came to stop the wedding," Clara said as the song was finishing. "So things worked out."
"They did," Castle said with a laugh before he led the woman to her husband. "Want to take a break?" he asked Beckett.
"Yes I wasn't able to see where the girls were," she told him before they walked over to where Julia was showing Erin how to do an extension. "Hey sweetie, what've you been doing?" she asked the little girl when they were close.
"We were just watching the dancing," Julia said. "And I told Erin I know how to dance the Waltz."
"Where's your sister?" Castle then asked, scanning the ballroom but failing to see her.
"I dunno, she went with Grandpapa somewhere," Julia replied.
"Come help us look for her," Beckett said, holding her hand out to the little girl before Erin said goodbye to them and left. She smiled at Martha who was talking to an older man and said, "Gray-dar?" to her husband.
"I don't know, it's been a while since that's come up," Castle told her in surprise as he realized that it was true.
"Gram isn't going to stay here is she?" Julia asked her parents worriedly.
"No she's just talking to him I'm sure," Beckett replied. She then saw her father approaching them and asked, "Dad? Where's Eliza," in concern as she noticed that he was alone.
"She slipped away from me," Jim said. "But Alexis isn't here so I'm guessing she's with her."
"The garden," Castle and Beckett said together at the same time before they turned to go to the open door leading out to it. When they got there they could see in the distance that Eliza was in fact with her big sister; Alexis and Louis watching her walk around the circumference of the temple.
"Hey she wanted some fresh air," Alexis called when she noticed her dad and stepmother approaching them. "I had her after she broke away from Jim."
"Thank you for watching her," Beckett said with a smile as Eliza was hiding behind her sister. "Sweetie you're not in trouble," she said reassuringly.
"No?" the toddler asked in surprise before her father picked her up.
"No," Castle said, watching as Louis took his daughter back to the ballroom. "But you know you need to tell someone you want to leave right?"
"Yeah," Eliza said softly. "But I was hot."
"Now you know for next time," Beckett said. "Are you having fun sweetie?" she then asked her.
"Yeah everyone dances," Eliza said with a broad smile on her face, nodding her head. She then giggled softly and said, "And you and Daddy too."
"I had a feeling she would mention that," Castle said. "Are you ready to go back inside?"
"Yeah," Eliza replied.
"I'll take her," Martha said from behind them, making them jump.
"Mother, weren't you talking to-" Castle started to say.
"I was but he was asked to dance by someone else," Martha said simply. "And it's nearly time for dessert so I think I'll escort my youngest granddaughters in to that. With Jim of course," she then added.
Watching them go after Castle had given Eliza to his mother Beckett went to one of the pillars opposite them and leaned out, looking at what she could see of the garden.
"Beautiful night," Castle said, going to her.
"I know," Beckett replied. "Rick," she then said softly as they had been listening to the sounds of the night mixed with the music from the house behind them. "I've been thinking, there are sixteen days left."
Nodding at that Castle had to wonder what it was about their anniversary that she wanted to bring up. Thinking she wanted to change his ideas for how they'd spend that day he then said, "I'm anxiously counting them down."
"Me too," Beckett said with a smile as she turned to face him head on. "But after tonight I want us to stop."
"Stop… you're not serious," Castle began, a little confused until he realized what she was talking about. "For six- for fifteen days?"
"Yes," Beckett said. "To tell you the truth I really want to see too if we could manage to do that at all."
"We've never gone for that long," Castle replied. He started to speak and then stopped before saying, "How long is the longest we've gone?"
"About twelve days I think," Beckett replied. "Or ten, I'm a little fuzzy on that."
"You were sick at the time so I'm not surprised," Castle said with a nod to her. He then smiled and said, "Okay even though I don't think we can go for two weeks without even so much as… we couldn't touch could we?"
"It still counts as sex," Beckett teased him. "Manual sex?"
Relieved they were a good distance from the house so no one would hear them Castle replied, "Okay then nothing at all… you do realize what this is going to do to our idea of leaving our room at the manor right?"
"I'm aware," Beckett said easily. She then heard Alexis calling to him and she smiled at him saying, "Tonight Rick and then we wait."
"I'll make you regret saying that," Castle said to her, grabbing her wrist; trying not to be too rough; as she started to walk away from him.
"Great," Beckett said, trying to suppress the shiver going down her spine but not really all that successful. "I guess it's time for dessert," she commented as they walked down the path and through the main part of the gardens.
"Hey the girls aren't letting Gram and Jim take them to get dessert unless you guys are there," Alexis said when they reached her.
"Have you danced with anyone besides Louis?" Castle asked her teasingly.
"I have but didn't get to dance with you yet Dad," Alexis replied when they went over to the room off of the ballroom where the food for dinner had been served. At that moment it was full of plates of sweets and she said, "When are they going to bed?"
"We were planning on taking them in the garden to run around," Castle said, looking at his wife with a smile on his face. "Hopefully that works."
"We'll find out," Beckett said before they turned their attention to their daughters who were staring at the array of desserts in awe.
"Hey! Easy, horses don't kick that hard," Louis said with a laugh to Julia.
"They can," the little girl said, laughing. "My mommy and daddy's horses do that."
"Okay," the young man said. He was running after the girls with Castle, since Alexis and Beckett couldn't do that over the grass in their gowns and heels. "I think I need to take a break, I'm exhausted."
"Thanks for playing with me," Julia said.
"Yeah he's a great brother," Erin said, taking his hand. "And he has nice Irish eyes," she said before giggling softly as Louis rolled his eyes while he smiled.
"'Cause they're green?" Julia asked a little hesitantly.
"No because I'm from there," Louis said. "Everyone at school would call me Irish eyes."
"There is that song," Beckett commented as they got close to where she and Alexis were standing.
"Likely that too, I'd forgotten," Louis said, nodding his head to them with a grin.
"Do we have to go to bed?" Julia said then.
"No!" Eliza cried.
"We're taking you up to your room," Castle replied. "But you won't be going to bed quite yet."
"But Erin doesn't-" Julia started to say.
"Erin, come along you need to go to bed," Clara said from the doorway.
Beckett smiled as Julia looked disappointed but as she took her hand she told her, "You've stayed up pretty late tonight. And you got to dance with us."
"Thanks for letting us do that," Julia said as they started to enter the ballroom.
"You're very welcome sweetie," Beckett said, smiling back at Castle who was walking with Eliza. "But now you two need to say goodnight to everyone."
Though she didn't want to; and could tell that her sister didn't either; Julia said goodnight to their grandparents and big sister with her, having to hurry as there was a pause in between songs at that moment. When she, Eliza and their parents went upstairs after Brennan, Clara and Erin, she said goodnight to the three before they went to the wing opposite them.
"Don't wanna Daddy," Eliza was saying as they went into the room she and Julia were sharing with Alexis.
"I know but we'll have a lot to do tomorrow," Castle said. "Maybe walk to one of the towns we're near."
"Is there anything big?" Julia asked as her mother helped her out of her dress.
"Not really but I'm sure there'll be a pub we can go to for lunch," Beckett said to both girls since she noticed that Eliza was watching her. "And then we can walk around, looking at the houses."
"Will there be older ones?" Julia said.
"There might be," Beckett said. "We won't know. But you will of course get to play with Erin tomorrow too."
"And horsies!" Eliza said excitedly.
"Those too of course," Castle said with slight laughter in his voice. He carried the toddler to the bathroom where he helped her brush her teeth. He looked at his wife and said, "Funny to do this still in my tuxedo."
"Imagine me doing that in my gown," Beckett pointed out to him.
"No way," Julia said. "What if you got toothpaste on it?" she then asked.
"I would have to try and clean it off," Beckett said simply before the two had finished. She and Castle took them out to the bed and she let him get on it first with their daughters.
"Please get some sleep," he told them as he took them in his arms. "And we're just going to dance which you've seen us do before so don't try to get out of bed to watch us."
"He's right," Beckett said with a smile as the girls turned to look at her. "And we're probably not going to stay that long."
"We're slightly tired," Castle said as Julia looked surprised at that. "It's been a long day."
"No naps," Eliza said, sounding confident.
Laughing with her husband and Julia, Beckett said, "It could be but we went riding for a while."
"And we had to leave early," Castle reminded them. He then said in an aside to his wife, "Luckily your cousin knows." He then turned back to the girls and said, "Okay goodnight Julia, Eliza, I love you both."
"Love you Daddy," Julia said first.
"Love you too Daddy," Eliza said. She hugged him at the same time her sister did and smiled before she shared a kiss with him.
Kissing Julia, Castle gave them a last hug and moved for his wife to sit where he'd been saying, "See, told you we weren't going to put you right to bed."
"Daddy," Julia said in exasperation. She then laughed a little as she and her sister hugged their mother saying, "We weren't in here doing that much for that long."
"I thought we did," Castle said.
"Rick," Beckett said gently, shaking her head at him. When he shrugged she smiled and then held the girls closely saying, "Your daddy said everything already so I'll just say goodnight and I love you both."
"I love you too Mommy," Julia said.
"Yeah love you lots Mommy," Eliza added exuberantly. She laughed with the others and then shared a kiss with her mother, watching as she then kissed her big sister.
With Castle's help Beckett got their daughters tucked in and they then sat down on the edge of the bed together, watching the two. She wasn't surprised when they both looked startled but only smiled at them before they waited.
Once he saw that Julia was asleep a short time later; Eliza having fallen asleep shortly after they'd sat; Castle stood up with his wife and they walked back to the door, closing it behind them. "Are you that tired?" he asked.
"Another hour," Beckett said simply. She wasn't surprised when her husband nodded and she took his hand before they headed down the stairs together to rejoin the party.
Looking around the back of the house Castle heard the door being closed and then locked behind him. Tearing his gaze away from the view he said to his wife, "They're alright?"
"They're fine, and I went to the stairs, it sounds like more people are leaving," Beckett replied with a smile. She let him pull her over to the long bench in front of their bed but resisted when he tried to make her sit.
Grunting slightly when Beckett nearly plopped down on his lap Castle wrapped his arms around her waist as she snaked hers around his neck. "I'm still sticking with what I told you before."
Smirking Beckett didn't say anything to that instead leaning over and pressing a kiss to his cheek before she went back to his ear, kissing the lobe. "You want to take over tonight?" she asked him.
"Yes," Castle said simply.
With laughter in her voice Beckett said as she caressed his cheek, "And how do you propose to do that?"
"I'll show you," Castle said before he grabbed her hand and lowered it. He kissed her then and could feel his wife's surprise in how gentle that was when she tensed up in front of him. Eventually though he was able to deepen it and he felt her hands soon gripping the back of his neck as they began to fight against each other shortly after. When they needed to part to breathe he panted as he watched her sit up completely before he moved. He pushed the straps of her gown off her shoulders as far as they could go and began to kiss around her collarbone on the right. His lips were gentle, a thrill going through him at the slight moan that she emitted in response to that. He kept himself in check for as long as he could, sitting up and bringing her down to his lips again.
Beckett shivered as her husband's hands moved around her back and then up her sides. "You're not really that fair," she whispered as they breathed deeply after tearing themselves away from each other.
"Do you want me to stop?" Castle asked her with a faint smile, having begun to fondle her breasts through the light blue fabric. He wasn't really listening to her answer then, running his thumbs firmly over her nipples he could feel underneath.
"You don't need to," Beckett was saying. Since she had spoken that for a third time she finally put her hands on her husband's cheeks and made him tilt his head up to her. "You don't need to stop but it would be great if you listened to me," she said, smiling so he wouldn't think she was too mad.
"I was just-" Castle started to say, a little flustered at first.
Leaning down Beckett kissed him on the lips gently and when she pulled away told him, "I know you were distracted but we haven't even started yet." She was surprised when the expression on her husband's face seemed to suddenly change and he was throwing her hands away from him. He grabbed her roughly and made her lean over and she soon after heard the sound of the zipper on her back. "You can't wait…" she started to say when she knew she could sit up again. She allowed him to pull her dress down to her waist and before he could do so she was reaching up to her own breasts.
"Don't stop," Castle told her firmly, looking at her intently as he reached up to her hair and pushed it all behind her shoulder. He kissed her gently on the lips and for a moment was hesitant to stop when she did so for him. There was a brief moment of surprise when she brought his hands up to her chest but he was able to get over that rapidly, caressing her breasts lovingly. "I adore you," he said, looking into her eyes intently.
"I can feel… I can feel that," Beckett breathed in pleasure as he was running his fingers up and down her nipples. "Just…" she said, finally unable to take it anymore and making him bow his head so he could take the right nub with his lips. She moaned deeply as he began to suckle at her and at the same time she stroked at the back of his head. Shifting slightly against her husband she soon felt his hand coming up to her other breast. She had to bite her lower lip as the combined pleasure from that was quick to hit her and make her move again on his lap.
Castle worked over both of her breasts as thoroughly as he could until he was sure that she was ready for him. With her trembling in his arms he brought his lips against hers and told her as forcefully as he had it in him with his body aching in need, "I know how I want you first."
"What is it?" Beckett asked, not sure how she wasn't stammering as she was still working to recover.
"On your hands and knees," Castle replied.
"Hmm," Beckett replied as their lips came together then. When they had parted she said, "You want me from behind?" hoping to tease him a little. "You never say-"
"I don't like to," Castle said, knowing she was aware of that. But he also knew that she had no clue why he never called the position by its colloquial name so he told her, "You know I've never seen this as all about me."
"If you did then we wouldn't still be married," Beckett told him.
"No and I don't like the idea of referring my lover as a dog… even vaguely," Castle said simply. "So I'll take you from behind, but as you."
"Have you ever explained that to another woman?" Beckett asked.
"Twice and I was laughed at, taunted for being afraid to basically be a man," Castle answered. He shook his head and said, "Those relationships didn't really last long after that. They left me."
"Their loss," Beckett replied before turning his head so she could kiss him gently. When he crushed her against his chest she moaned softly as her bare breasts pressed against his still clothed chest and she pulled away. "We should start," she murmured to him as she pulled at his bow tie. When it was carelessly tossed aside she kissed him hard and franticly before she moved away and told him, "I'm aching Rick."
"So am I Kate," Castle said, starting to breathe hard in anticipation. He helped her then with his jacket before it was set aside and while he pulled his shirt out of his trousers she was unbuttoning it. "I can feel you already love," he murmured before he leaned up to brush his lips against hers.
"I know I can feel you too," Beckett whispered a little huskily. She pushed his opened shirt off his shoulders and together they got it off of him before she stood, letting him push her gown off of her hips. She looked on as he then pulled off her panties and she sighed as he knelt in front of her, running his tongue flat along her mound, trying to get to her clit. As soon as he was standing again she went with him to the bed and she turned to him at the side of it, wrapping her arms around him while they began to kiss.
"Maybe I shouldn't…" Castle whispered against her neck as he descended to it. "You'll pass out."
Beckett smiled at that and then kissed him before she could answer, telling him, "I want to." She smiled again when he started at her in surprise, and she said, "I know you'll wait for me."
With that Castle gathered her up into his arms again and pulled her so tightly against him he could feel himself nearly smashed against her, kissing her as hard as he possibly could. When he had finally managed to pull away he helped her get on the bed, climbing up with her before they started to kiss again. After they had pulled away from one another he watched her move until she was ready and he then quickly placed a few pillows bellow her hips.
Biting on her lower lip Beckett felt her husband run his hand over her back before he pressed up behind her and she gasped as nearly instantly his erection was slipping in her. She clutched tightly at the bed and then shifted until he was fully within her. Looking back over her shoulder she watched her husband soon start to thrust against her and as soon as he had she began to do so herself. She cried out his name as he already began to move down in her and knew that he was going to make sure that she passed out. Matching him the best she could she lowered the top of her body down on the bed, staying on her knees. The next few thrusts her husband made in her was leaving her gasping, sharp threads of heat snaking their way all over her and making her believe that she was going to be finishing too soon. But she was able to get a distraction when he leaned over her, kissing at the backs of her shoulders.
"You're…" Castle started to say. "How can you want to wait?"
"It's going to be so much better," Beckett murmured with a smile that didn't really last. She glanced back at him and saw him staring at her and the way he was made her say, "You won't last."
"I will," Castle said immediately, knowing she was talking about them staying in that position. He seemed to take that as a challenge; though he was aware it was more of a comment considering how they normally were; and he was starting to move faster, hearing the bed under them protesting that loudly. He groaned heavily in pleasure as she cried out in joy at the change in speed, wondering if she felt the same sensation of electricity running through her as he felt in his own body. He tried not to focus on that though as he recalled what he had planned to do for her at that point, trying to think more of her.
Beckett tried to use whatever she could for a distraction, trying to hold onto her self control. But while she could feel her husband testing with his hips as he moved within her she knew that it was going to take every last bit of strength she could find to last. When she abruptly felt his fingers on her clit she was pressing her cheek against the pillow under her, moaning what felt like unendingly, and reached up somehow stopping him. "Too much," she whispered, since it felt like it was. She was a little surprised when her husband stopped and moved away his hand, filling her with relief, but suddenly his hands were both grabbing her hips and she was moved by him. Her nails scratching at the white sheets below her she moved though couldn't go as fast as he was making her. She cried out hard a bit later when suddenly he was hitting her g-spot directly and she was more than aware that she'd run out of time when he returned to it again and again. Her body slick with sweat, not sure how long they had been together, she began to cry out, "Rick, oh god please don't stop… I can't… make me come again, please!" adding that last bit as she'd known somehow that he wasn't going to let himself follow her yet.
It was pure torture, feeling the way his wife's body was trying to take his orgasm from him though he hadn't let himself be dragged into it. He watched her soon slump to the bed in front of him as she took the last of her pleasure and he was quick to move, withdrawing from her and turning her over onto her back to make sure she was okay. "Love…" he groaned heavily as he was throbbing in pain. He took her left hand and then lay on his stomach, as if the pressure on his groin could ease the sensation of her still around him. Her hand he was holding as if her touch would be a kind of reminder that he wasn't going to finish without her. When he felt he had calmed down slightly he turned to look at her, reaching over to place his hand on her stomach. At that moment she moaned and he nearly popped up to kiss her, murmuring against her lips, "I love you Kate, wake up please," begging her.
"I am awake," Beckett told him, sighing slightly. "What are you-" she started to say when he kissed her hard on the lips. She held onto him the best she could, moaning in joy as he was reaching down at the same time and fondling her breast. "You didn't…?" she asked as she had no idea what had happened once she'd passed out.
"I'm going to make you come again," Castle said in promise before he moved down and trailed his lips over her sternum. He felt her tremble when he passed over her scar and then went down to her abdomen. The muscles in her stomach dancing below him, he would have loved to have spent more time kissing her there but he was being compelled to complete his journey and soon made it to her clit. He began to lick and suck on it, trying to get her ready for him and also to want him again. He was stunned when he was only there for what felt like a few seconds and she was grabbing him. "You're-" he was about to ask. But seeing the look on her face as he moved was enough of an answer to him and he was ramming his erection within her. His wife groaning with him he knew he was going to have to watch himself since he wanted her to be first again.
Wrapping her legs tightly around Castle's waist Beckett slid her hands up from the back of his neck to his head where she began to rake her nails over his scalp. At that moment his lips were all over her neck but soon he was dipping his head lower, taking her left nipple hungrily. She would have smiled at how eager he was but he was changing his thrusts, going into her so deliberately that her clit was being struck at the same time. She cried out every time he came into her, not caring that him doing that had made him stop taking her breasts. She found she was already eager to get off and hoped that he wasn't going to try and hold himself back for too much longer.
"Do you want me to come love?" Castle asked, deciding that the last push he could give her so they could reach their climax. "Do you want me to take you and make you beg for me to fuck your wonderful pussy?"
Her nails having at some point reached down to his back Beckett was nearly clawing at him, trying to last longer than her body was telling her she was. She wasn't sure how she was so close to orgasming so soon but with her husband soon speaking to her a little roughly; in detail about how she felt and how he wanted to love her after they were done; she was lost. "Yes! Fuck me harder Rick! I don't want you to stop, just make me come like this! I want to feel you come inside me!" she cried to him, scratching at his back so hard she was very close to breaking the skin. But she couldn't control herself doing that as the waves of ecstasy were too hard and were wracking her body as she undulated under him.
"My love! I won't stop until we can't move I can't stop wanting you Kate, I want you again… the rest of the night I need to fuck you! Kate!" Castle groaned to her as he finally lost all of his self control. He did so happily, pleasurably, until he was thrusting into her as she was still below him. A few more rough jerks against her body and he was collapsing, murmuring her name over and over; his own personal mantra.
"God Rick, you're sure you weren't serious?" Beckett finally asked.
"No, just… talk," Castle mumbled against her shoulder as he turned his head only slightly then. He sighed and said, "I wasn't kidding."
"I didn't have a chance to reply to you," Beckett said with a smile as he raised his head. "Yes fuck me the rest of the night," she told him seriously. "Starting now."
With that permission Castle was breathing in deeply before he carefully pulled away from his wife. He wasn't sure when the idea had come to him but as they got off the bed together; kissing carefully while they were doing so; he tugged on the sheet they'd pushed to the end of the bed. Once it was free he took her to the table, throwing the sheet over it before he had her sit on it.
"You're lucky this is keeping its balance," Beckett called to him as she watched him go to the bathroom, knowing what he was getting.
"I know, I'm good like that," Castle said absently, tossing the towel in his hands on the chair that was in front of her and sitting down.
"So I'm…?" Beckett asked slowly as she studied him as he just stared at her.
"Your choice," Castle said. "Touch yourself, make me touch you… do you want me to play with your feet?"
Laughing as she knew that wasn't a fetish of his Beckett shook her head and said, "Why don't you touch me?" as she set her hands on the edge of the table. She held onto it before she leaned over, making sure he'd wouldn't mistake her intent.
"Sure," Castle said, his eyes on her breasts. He reached up as he scooted to the edge of the chair, beginning to caress her there gently at first. At her vocal reactions he changed the speed of his touch until he finally told her gruffly, "Lay down Kate."
Beckett at first wanted to argue since he'd told her it was her choice but the tone of his voice convinced her otherwise and she lay back without a fight. She gasped as he reached for her clit, heavily swollen still with her previous satisfaction. She was relieved he'd put some time between her orgasm and that moment as she didn't want to be too hypersensitive with what he was doing to her then. The pads of his first two fingers were rubbing up and down slowly over the swollen nub and she felt the sensation travel right up to her breasts, making her reach up for them. Looking up at Castle she saw the slight nod from him and she started to roll her nipples in her fingers, moaning and arching her back before she suddenly spread her legs without really noticing she had done so.
With that movement Castle had a perfect view of his wife's sex and a glimpse to her state of arousal. The slickness of her folds made him aware she was ready for him and he said, "I want you now Kate."
Grateful for him speaking in Irish as he was still touching her and she was still touching herself Beckett looked down at him and reached between them as her husband pulled her forward to the edge of the table. She ran her first two fingertips along the tip of his erection nearly against his stomach and then brought her slightly damp fingers to her mouth. Smirking at him as he stared at her, she wrapped her legs around him and then brought him closer to her, hoping that he would get the picture.
As if his wife had screamed at him Castle was leaning over with his left hand on the table before he took his erection with his right hand. He thrust against her and was inside of her, making them groan together in their pleasure before he started to move. Using the leverage of both his hands on the tabletop he went hard and fast, watching her reaching up to grab onto the edge of the table above her head for her own leverage. He hissed through clenched teeth at the sound of their hips slapping together as that also led to him feeling a great deal of pleasure that filled his body. He looked down at her, watching the way her body moved and murmuring her name before her eyes opened and looked at him. "I love you," he said seriously, staring into her eyes.
"Oh Rick…" Beckett sighed, nearly rolling her eyes back in her joy. "I love you too." She then pushed herself up and wrapped her arms around him as he helped her sit up and they were soon kissing though it meant they had to stop. When they shortly parted she whispered, "Take me back to the bed."
Not really wanting to Castle knew she made a good point with that statement so he picked her up after withdrawing from her. Carrying her to the bed he laid her down before he lay on her and with her legs underneath his arms he was back inside of her. Their lips soon meeting he was moving again and while their tongues were searching for each other he was using his hips to search for her clit. It took him some time before he got it but finally it was in front of him and he stopped making broader strokes to rub with just his lower body against her swollen nub. As she cried out his name in surprise tinged with joy he kept doing that until he couldn't take her moans and cries anymore and went back to thrusting as fast as he could.
Their lips meeting again as she pressed her hands flat on Castle's back Beckett soon turned her head away from him as she needed to breathe badly and once she had there was no surprise when her husband was following her. She murmured to him, "You're not going to stop are you?"
"Tell me you want me to," Castle said into her cheek gently. "Tell me now Kate." When she stopped herself he jerked harder against her than he'd meant to as he was shocked into stopping. "You listen so well," he told her as he moved above her slightly so he could reach down to her and lightly fondle her breasts.
"Thought I should take the chance," Beckett said, laughing slightly on an exhale. She smiled at him as he reached up to her face, running the backs of his fingers against her cheek, and then said, "Take me now, I don't think I can't wait anymore."
Castle was tempted to wait but the feel of her fidgeting against him was enough of an incentive to listen to her. So with that he began to thrust, groaning in his joy at the renewing of the sensation of her tight and wet around him. He leaned down and kissed her, hard, and felt his lips throbbing at that. The friction between them was soon rough and warm, making him try not to let his eyes roll back as he wanted to have all his attention focused on her. But as they were moving together more and more rapidly he could again hear the bed below them and soon was aware of their hips together. The sound of her crying out and moaning filled his ears above everything else and he watched her, gazing at her body, the pleasure that covered her face and he knew he was going to lose it before her if he didn't stop them.
At the same time Becket was clawing at her husband's back, her head tilting back and forth as she was trying to endure. But all of it was a rush and hearing everything her husband was; along with his vocal reactions to them; the last of her self-control snapped and she went into her climax willingly, pleasurably as she was crying his name. She became so focused on what she felt, heat running up and down her repeatedly and making her heart beat heavily in her ears but she soon heard her name on her husband's lips and felt his release as he lost the rhythm they'd had. She wasn't sure how long it took them to finally calm down but was aware of the point when her body slumped back on the bed and she smiled as she felt him thrust a few more times in rapid succession before he slumped on top of her. She kissed the side of his head a few times before she said, "You're going to be exhausted."
"Worth it," Castle mumbled into her neck. He groaned when she laughed and he raised his head saying, "Should rest a little bit before…"
Beckett; not surprised that he was already thinking of their next time; kissed him on the lips and told him, "Get up."
Doing so immediately Castle watched his wife sit up and then look down in between them before he said, "I'll get there soon, I promise."
"Then I'm glad you suggested a rest," Beckett told him, giving him a quick peck on the lips before they got up and went together into the bathroom. She waited for him to fill the tub and then for him to get in before she sat in front of him. Sighing at the feel of the warm water she said, "You're too rough."
"You're sore?" Castle asked, a little surprised to hear that since it took more than that to make her.
"Any harder and I would have been," Beckett replied. "But," she began as she pressed harder back against his chest. "I enjoyed that thoroughly."
"I did too," Castle said, leaning down and kissing her shoulder and then drifting up to her neck.
"Touch me," Beckett breathed as his arms were wrapped around her.
"Not yet," Castle said, kissing her pulse gently.
"Was this your plan when you agreed to this?" Beckett asked with a smile though her eyes were closed.
"It may have been," Castle said. "Though I do need a little more time."
Beckett moved to get on her knees and turned to face him. She smiled at him and said, "I can get you ready faster."
"How much faster?" Castle asked her though he could feel himself reacting already; heart starting to beat faster.
"I'll show you," Beckett said, leaning over and cupping his face before she kissed him. She kept it very simple and gentle before quickly pulling away and then leaning in again. She did that a number of times before she let go of his face to reach down for his member under the water. Her hand curling around it she moved a little, watching the way Castle groaned and his head rolled back in reaction to that before she let him go.
"Oh god who told you to stop?" Castle asked, his voice breathy and a little indignant.
"Just an idea I got," Beckett said, smirking at him before she reached up to his chest. She stroked him and played a little with his nipples before he suddenly stopped her and she looked at his hands holding her wrists before looking into his eyes. "You too?"
"Me too," Castle said. "Only fair," he told her firmly. He then reached up to her and started to caress at her breasts, feeling her leaning against him. He stared into her eyes again after he was set with a rhythm and knew he could easily find her nipples. He loved the way she looked as he continued to touch her, making sure he did what he could to arouse her.
After she had had enough and wanted him again Beckett made him stop and pushed him back so he was leaning against the tub. When she saw him putting his arms on the edge she smiled saying, "You know what I want to do."
"I can read your mind love," Castle told her.
Rolling her eyes though she was smiling Beckett put her hands under the water and took his erection back in her hands. She started to stroke at him, almost the same as he had done with her breasts, and didn't stop until she knew that he himself was more than ready. And when she got to that point she raised her body and with Castle's hands on her hips she lowered herself onto him and moaned as they were coupled again soon after.
"I love you Kate," Castle said, groaning heavily in pleasure. "I want you."
"Hmm, I love you too Rick," Beckett replied, smiling as they weren't. "And you can have me if you let me have you; I need you."
"Always love," Castle said seriously, leaning in close to her to take her lips.
"Always," Beckett breathed before they leaned into each other the rest of the way and began to kiss hungrily. Their arms tight around each other she and Castle began to move as one and made love together slowly, carefully. The rest of the night was one where she felt she and her husband were making sure they wouldn't forget what they had together in their relationship; physically and emotionally. And it was with a great deal of anticipation that she looked forward even more to their anniversary, knowing she wasn't alone in feeling that way.
