"Rick," Beckett called to her husband. When he opened the door, she smiled at him and said, "They're ready."
"So am I," Castle said quickly as he walked to where she was sitting on the room's couch and he held her tablet in front of them. "Hey everyone," he said once their family appeared on the screen.
"Hi Mommy, Daddy!" Eliza said happily.
"Happy Anniversary Mom, Dad," Julia then told them, smiling herself.
"Josa says the same," Alexis added. "And so do I Dad, Ma."
"We're happy to see you," Beckett told them. "How was your morning?"
"We just had breakfast Mom," Julia said, unable to help grinning.
Beckett laughed softly and said, "Which is why I said morning. Are you still going to the stables?"
"Yeah, right after we talk to you," Julia said. "But what about you?"
"We did get to go riding," Castle said. "It didn't start raining until after lunch."
"And we have gone swimming," Beckett said. "We've come back from the pool so we've been having a very nice anniversary. Despite the fact we miss all of you."
"Stay!" Eliza cried out, smiling when her parents laughed along with her family around her. "You're gonna stay right?"
"Don't worry," Beckett said reassuringly. "We have this room for two more nights, so we'll stay until our flight."
"What will you two do tomorrow?" Martha asked.
"I suppose run into the river… follow it downstream," Castle said thoughtfully.
"Dad." "Daddy," Alexis, Julia and then Eliza said.
"He'll be doing that by himself," Beckett said wryly. "I'll head into Adare."
"You better go Daddy," Eliza said firmly.
"He will," Julia said, wrapping her arm around her little sister.
"Sorry," Castle said, smiling when the little girl pouted at him. He then turned his attention to the baby and said, "We almost forgot to say Happy Birthday sweetheart."
"Happy Birthday," Beckett said with a smile as she knew her husband had been planning to say that to their four-month-old.
"She said thank you Mommy, Daddy," Eliza said as they'd watched Josie wave her hands a little before she vocalized an ah sound.
"How's Josie been doing?" Beckett asked her father and mother in law.
"She's doing well," Jim said. "She hasn't had any problems with the formula."
"But she misses you Mom," Julia said quickly. "And you too Dad."
"That's good to know," Castle said, nodding his head. He was about to ask the girls what they would do besides the stables, but his wife touched his arm and he looked at her before he realized why she was doing that, and he said, "I think we need to go."
"I think your parents are worried about the heat," Jim said to Julia and Eliza who started to protest.
"We are," Beckett told them. "But we'll talk tomorrow and for longer because you'll stay home at the pool." She shared a smile with her husband before they were saying goodbye to their family and the screen went blue. She went to the armoire and put the tablet away, turning to her husband to find him standing at the window by the table. She walked over to him quickly and wrapped her arms around him before they embraced tightly. After a tender kiss she let him pick her up again and take her back to the bed before she touched his lips. She had been about to ask him something that had been on her mind since they'd stopped making love when he was sliding his hand under the skirt of her sundress before he was asking her something instead.
"Mind if I take this off?" Castle said, playing a little with the hem of the dress.
"No," Beckett said though she was grabbing his hand. When he looked at her in surprise, she told him, "I wanted to ask something of you."
"Okay," Castle said slowly at her use of the phrase 'of you'.
With a slight smile Beckett said, "Would you wear your glasses for me?"
"For you? Definitely," Castle said without a second of hesitation. He then said, "You really want me to?" When she nodded and brushed her lips against his he said, "If you're sure."
"Just put them on," Beckett said with a smile. She got out of his way and then said, "We didn't talk to them for too long."
"Well, Louis said it'd be better if they go early and they're going to ride for a while," Castle said, bringing his glasses case from where it'd been in his bag in the armoire. "And you agreed and they're going to be doing that for a while. Plus, what could we have said to them about today that we didn't already?"
"That's true," Beckett replied slowly. "And we'll talk to them later tomorrow." She then smiled and said, "You need to undress first."
"I figured," Castle said wryly before he was taking off his plaid shirt he'd worn for their Skype call. He got his black t-shirt off and was going to reach for his jeans when his wife was suddenly grabbing his arm.
"I changed my mind; glasses first," Beckett told him.
"Okay," Castle said after a moment of hesitation. He grabbed the case and put his pair of glasses on before he was about to ask her jokingly what she wanted him to do next. But to his surprise she was suddenly standing in front of him and wrapping her arms around his neck before they were kissing passionately and clutching at one another tightly. He wasn't sure how long it took them to stop but once they did he reached for the bottom of her dress with one hand as he watched her closely to see her reaction.
Not saying a word, Beckett instead wrapped her right leg up around him and pressed close to him before saying, "Now I'm regretting your pants still on."
"Hold on," Castle said, reaching for the fly and opening it as fast he could before he was pulling them off with his boxers next. As soon as they were on the floor, he pulled his wife against him again and they kissed before she was wrapping her leg around him. When their groins pressed together, he groaned and ended the kiss so he could say, "I forgot you're naked under here."
"Help me get this dress off," Beckett told him as they'd let go of each other.
"You don't need it," Castle told her, bracing himself as he expected her to be mad at him.
Giving him a halfhearted look, Beckett quickly grabbed the bottom of her dress and she pulled it off her, trying not to go too quickly as she knew her husband wanted to watch. When she had it on top of his clothes she said with a smile, "Good?"
"Yes," Castle said simply before he was kissing her and then picking her up.
"Oh! Like this?" Beckett asked in surprise.
"Yes," Castle asked as he'd picked her up so she could wrap her legs around his waist. He nearly loosened his grip a second later when he realized she was trying to thrust against him already. "Kate," he groaned as he finally made it to the bed, trying not to drop her before he set her down. "Don't tell me it's because of my glasses."
Smirking Beckett grabbed her husband and pulled him down onto the bed before pushing him onto his back. She straddled him as soon as he was down and said, "It is, and you don't know how much I've wanted to ask you to wear these." She ran her hands down his chest and said, "Keep them on."
"Y-e-es," Castle groaned out as she had lowered her sex onto him. He breathed out hard when they were finally coupled, and he was about to speak when she was crossing her legs on him and making him swear heavily since she was gripping at his erection. When she had stopped he was a little dazed, but his wife was touching his thigh behind her and he had to focus to hear her speaking.
"Can you push yourself up?" Beckett asked him, caressing his skin gently. She was a little concerned when he just nodded rapidly and was about to straddle him again when he was getting up on his elbows. Seeing that he was ready she tried out her first thrust and they groaned together before she was rocking back and forth a few times. Since it was easier to do that, she kept it up before stopping and doing her best to thrust a bit normally. She found sweat soon breaking out on her body and she said, "Rick-"
"How?" Castle asked, waiting for her to get off him so he could get up himself. He took his wife into his arms when she came to him and they were kissing one another lovingly at first before they were becoming passionate and finally rough as their grip on each other was the same. After they stopped he said, "You need to pick." He saw she was going to open her mouth so he quickly added, "I want you to."
Since her response to that was to kiss him, Beckett wasn't surprised when he cupped her ass before he slapped it lightly. Since she had to react vocally it took her a moment to say, "Here," as she got off the bed.
Castle was scrambling after her and he expected her to go away from the bed but was watching her leaning over the chest that was at the end of the bed. He followed and said, "I don't know what this is for; I don't care; but I'm loving its placement right now."
Beckett would have laughed, but her husband was sliding into her and she moaned deeply before their skin was touching. A second later he began to thrust, and she was doing the same since she was holding onto the other edge of the chest. Their hips were slapping, and she cried out before she; for some reason; recalled something. "I wanted… I wanted to watch you… you… Fuck me! I need to watch you while you fuck me," she started to say before she cried out and said the last bit in a rush.
"After this," Castle said, nearly gritting his teeth together as he had to hold onto her hips so he couldn't end up slipping out of her. But something came to mind and he thrust a little hard before he ended up doing that and he breathed out hard against her shoulder.
"What is it?" Beckett asked, frustrated immediately at the ache that was within her with his leaving her.
"I didn't want to do that, but I thought…" Castle started to say. "Here," he told her, pulling her hand gently.
Beckett wasn't surprised in the slightest when her husband brought her to the right bottom post of the bed and she said, "You think I'm alright with that?"
"If I was deciding this without taking you into consideration then I'd just throw you on the post," Castle commented. He would have smiled when his wife kissed him but since he was a little busy responding he did so mentally, and when they parted was busy again pushing up against her back so he could slip within her again.
Holding onto the bedpost, Beckett wondered why her husband hadn't admitted that her position at that moment was something he'd been fantasizing about. But she couldn't dwell on that thought for long as they were thrusting once more, and because she had a better grip on the post as opposed to the chest she could move as fast as he was. "Are… we…" she moaned out after she felt how quickly they were going together.
"I can… slow down," Castle nearly yelled to her as his body was burning pleasurably. He was able to see she was shaking her head and then continued what had ended up becoming a quickie. He was holding onto her hips again and he squeezed them a little tightly when he could feel them inching closer to the edge. The friction between them was intense with their pace and he heard his wife crying out for a moment before she was chanting his name after what seemed like moments but was slightly longer though he couldn't know. He was very swift to follow her lead since she was drawing him after her and he called her name repeatedly, relieved they knew their room was soundproofed.
When she felt her husband stopping behind her, Beckett waited for him to pull away before she turned to him and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. "The next time you want to do something like that just ask me," she told him, smiling at him.
"I just realized it," Castle said. "Because we did it before."
Beckett smiled and said, "Of course we did. But I'm not kidding, this won't be completely about me."
"Alright," Castle said. "But right now, we should get to yours."
Laughing softly Beckett brushed her lips to her husband's before letting go of him and pulling him with her over to the bed. After he was laying back, she followed him and said, "Next time though let's not have it be a quickie."
"I agree," Castle replied. He smiled and rubbed her shoulder saying, "Would it surprise you if I told you that I have an idea for the bathtub?"
"No," Beckett replied, turning to look at him better. "Let's rest a little bit though, okay?"
Nodding his head, Castle waited for her to relax against him again with her cheek on his shoulder. He rubbed her shoulder once more and kept doing that until he fell asleep, not aware that he needed any rest before his wife was noticing his relaxed state.
"Rick?" Beckett said, raising her head to look at him when his hand stopped moving on her and slid off it. She smiled when she saw he was asleep and was debating if she should take off his glasses. She decided he wouldn't mind leaving them on and slipped away from him to get off the bed. She went to their clothes from the Skype call and grabbed Castle's shirt before she pulled it on. She went around the couch and stood at the middle windows, smiling as she looked down at the grounds where they had renewed their vows the year before. She wrapped her arms around herself and leaned her shoulder against the glass, feeling the cool of the panes on her still heated skin. She let her thoughts take her attention and she had no idea how long exactly she was standing there before she could hear her husband calling to her. Turning back to the bed she smiled when she saw he was sitting up and she went over to him, getting on the bed and kissing him as soon as she was close. After they had parted, she was going to tease him about taking a nap when he suddenly turned her onto her back to lay in the middle of the bed before he spoke to her while he kissed her every so often which she let him do gladly.
"I'm so sorry… I fell asleep… I still love you… you know that right?" Castle asked her, startled by her soft laugh which made him pull away from her to look down at her.
"Don't worry," Beckett said, sitting up after she had gently pressed her hand to his shoulder. "I didn't take it as an insult."
"Oh… I thought I heard your phone shake while I was getting up," Castle then told her after he'd studied her wearing his t-shirt. He watched her turn to get it from her nightstand and he reached out, slapping her ass through his shirt to her startled exclamation of his name. "That's your punishment for stealing my shirt," he said as she quickly turned around to him, sitting up on her knees.
Beckett took that moment to think of what she wanted to do and luckily it came to her very quickly. She reached for the bottom of the shirt and took it off, tossing it past the chest so it was out of sight once it hit the floor. "Anything else for punishment?" she asked with a slight smirk on her face as he was staring at her bare body.
"Oh… no," Castle started to say before he said the no swiftly. He gathered her in his arms and then kissed her hungrily though quickly as he moved to kiss around her jaw and neck. He did that a few more times before she stopped him, and they stared at each other, breathing roughly, before they leaned into one another and kissed sensuously so they could feel their tongues rubbing together.
When they had stopped, Beckett moved to lay in the middle of the bed and she pulled her husband with her so he was soon on top of her. "Fuck me?" she murmured as he pressed his forehead to hers.
"I want to love you," Castle said before they kissed. When she took his erection, he knew she'd understood his response was an affirmative to her request and he moved to slide within her. He moved slowly, both expressing their pleasure vocally until their hips were pressed together. "Kate," he breathed out to her before she was grabbing his face with her hands and they kissed deeply as he made his first thrust.
"Wait!" Beckett suddenly cried out. "Sorry," she told him, but she quickly moved her legs as she realized she wanted something slightly different than them wrapped around her husband's waist. She drew her left leg up so she could place her foot flat against the side of her husband's knee and her right she moved to place that foot flat on the back of his left calf.
"Good?" Castle asked her.
"I should be asking you that," Beckett said, pushing herself up on her elbows. She kissed him before they parted, and she murmured, "Fuck me."
Castle decided he didn't really need to say anything and instead started to move again, groaning with his wife as he was getting deep within her again. "Kate," he groaned heavily in joy when a second later she was biting at his chin gently. He bowed his head and their lips met and he realized they were likely going to keep that position which made him shudder. But he was distracted by his need to literally fight with his wife's tongue as they were pushing back and forth into each other's mouths. When they parted to breathe he groaned and said, "My glasses…"
"They'll defog," Beckett said quickly as his lenses had ended up doing that a bit while they'd kissed. She sighed as he was kissing her jaw and she turned her head to the side while he continued in that direction. Once he was at her ear, she couldn't help the laugh that almost exploded out of her as she was breathing out at the same time since he was biting at her ear lobe gently though her hair was in the way. She was going to reach up to move it out of the way when her husband did so, and at the same time completely stopped moving.
"If you want us to keep this position we need to stop," Castle said, not surprised that his tone of voice was almost desperate. When she nodded, he nuzzled her ear and murmured into it, "What's wrong?"
"You're throbbing," Beckett told him. When he kissed her, she knew already that was him telling her she was doing so too, and she responded for as long as she could before they stopped. "Love… move, please," she then told him as it was a little too much to handle when she shifted her hips slightly.
"I'll do this again," Castle warned her.
"I don't care," Beckett said quickly. When he nodded and started to thrust again, she gasped out since the first one felt as if he was getting in deeper than before. She fell back on the bed before she could stop herself, but her husband was following her quickly, kissing her shoulders and collarbone while she held onto the back of his head. She was doing her best to thrust with him, but it was made more difficult with her not wanting to hurt her husband by pressing on his body too hard. So even though she didn't want to move her legs she did so, placing her feet flat on the bed with her knees spreading. When he thrust into her a second later, she was nearly pushing herself up off the bed as the pleasure was instant. "Rick… oh god don't stop… you're so… fucking… deep!" she cried out as she held onto his shoulders as tightly as she could.
"I can't," Castle began, trying not to pant too loudly. "I'm going to fuck you… until you faint… goddess," he groaned before he was slowing his thrusts a little. He did that a few times before speeding up and he began to vary them, but he changed the timing every instance he slowed down until he stopped moving all together with a heavy curse in Irish.
"Are you alright?" Beckett asked, caressing the back of his head.
"Yeah… just… almost too much," Castle replied. He then sighed and said, "I thought we'd stick with that position."
"I wanted… apparently I wanted more," Beckett said, kissing his temple. "But I wanted to move with you."
"Do you want me to-" Castle started to say before he was kissing her as she had initiated it. They were involved in that for some time and he groaned while she cried out when they ended it as they immediately began to thrust against each other. "Kate," he groaned. "If we can't move around… just move your legs."
"I am," Beckett said as she'd already been moving them as he'd spoken. She placed her feet flat on the bed, directly next to her husband's knees so she would touch them. He was getting deep inside of her and their hips were slapping together hard since she had better mobility with that leverage. She dug her nails into his back again while she was vocalizing her pleasure with every smack of their skin and she gasped out after some time of that. "I'm…" she started to say.
"I know, just come," Castle begged her. "I can't take it… you're too good… Let me worship you again."
"Yes! Oh, Rick… love I'm coming, please… please!" Beckett cried as his thrust down hard into her clit made her feel as if every inch of herself was exploding. The ecstasy that was nearly a fire spanned her entire body and it seemed to intensify since she could feel her husband joining her. She clung to him, her arms and legs both doing that, and they called one another's names as their orgasms seemed to last a little longer than normal. But she could feel herself stopping and felt a bit weak, trying her best to still hold onto Castle before he was giving her a last thrust and collapsing nearly fully on her. As they were regaining their energy, she caressed him where she could, loving their constant intimacy in their coupled bodies. When he raised his head and began kissing her, she let him move within her and followed suit, her desire for him becoming too much to keep at bay and they indulged in one another with their love making yet again.
"Kate?"
"Hmm?"
"I have to confess something."
"Negative?"
Castle smiled at his wife's sigh and he kissed the side of her neck tenderly telling her, "No… actually there's two things but they're not negative."
"Good," Beckett said, leaning back against him. "Hopefully you'll tell me."
"I will," Castle replied. "And first I actually didn't have some big plan for this tub; just us using it at least once. The other one is I really hate this bun in your hair." He wasn't surprised when she sat up and turned around to face him before he told her, "I'm trying to bury my face into it and I can't do it."
Giving him a look; though she didn't really put anything behind it; Beckett said, "I don't really want to get my hair wet."
"Just the ends will," Castle said. When she rolled her eyes, he couldn't help smiling but schooled himself to not let it last for that long before he was watching her taking her hair out of its bun.
"What if I ever decided to cut it short again?" Beckett asked her husband as he pulled her to him once she was leaning back against him.
"I'd hate the idea inwardly, but once you did it I'd realize I'd still be able to do this," Castle replied before he was burying his face into her hair.
Beckett was smiling as she could tell he was trying to smell the locks and she said, "Good thing I washed it."
"You know it wouldn't matter if it smelled like chlorine," Castle told her. He smiled when she glanced back at him and said, "Really. Because then I'd hopefully get the chance to wash it."
Beckett gave a mock exaggerated sigh and said, "Alright, can we get out? I'm getting wrinkled."
"And apparently I'm hungry," Castle said when his stomach suddenly growled.
Beckett laughed and brushed her lips to her husband's and said, "So am I," before she let him get out first. She waited for him to dry himself off and once he had his towel wrapped around his waist, she stood up herself and stepped out onto the floor before she was wrapped up in her towel by him.
Castle dried off his wife as much as he could before he let her have the towel and he said, "Should I call first or dress?"
"Dress," Beckett replied. When he looked at her in confusion she smiled and told him, "If they bring something up here before you're ready…"
"Okay," Castle said simply before he kissed her cheek and left. He let Beckett close the door behind him and went to the armoire to dress quickly before he got the room's phone and the menu for The Carriage House they were having there in their room.
When she had finished getting dressed Beckett was quick to apply her makeup before she started on her hair. Though she had been worried when she let it down in the bath it hadn't gotten wet and she was able to put it up into a bun after she had brushed it out. She grabbed her mother's comb and tucked it against the back of her head before she made a last check in the mirror and she started to turn towards the door. "Rick," she said under her breath, shaking her head. She picked up his glasses and went out into the room in time to see her husband was closing the door behind someone. "You forgot something," she said, getting his attention.
"Oh, you know I figured I did but I wanted to give you a chance to change," Castle said after he hesitated for a moment while he took her in wearing her blue lace dress, walking up to her and then taking his glasses. He put them on and then wrapped his arms around her telling her, "Breathnaíonn tú taibhseach," which meant she looked gorgeous.
"You know I feel the same about you," Beckett told him with a smile, leaning over and brushing her lips against his. "Especially now you have your glasses on."
Castle drew her closer and proceeded to kiss her deeply before she was wrapping her arms around his neck and responding to him eagerly. When they slowly pulled away from one another he said with a sigh, "Dinner is here."
"Hopefully it's not cold already," Beckett said with a smile. They brushed their lips together before she let him lead her over to the table and let him help her into her chair. "What are we having?" she asked as she'd told him to pick out what they ate.
"I got the short rib," Castle said. When his wife looked at him in surprise he laughed and said, "You saw the menu?"
Nodding Beckett replied. "You could have gotten the burger."
"Not that romantic with juice from a tomato dribbling down my chin," Castle commented, taking the cloche off her plate first. "I got you the roasted chicken." He was relieved when she kissed his cheek and told her, "It was either that or the sea bass."
"No fish tonight," Beckett said. She got her napkin and her cutlery before they began to eat and after a few bites she said, "What about after this?"
"Dessert," Castle said simply. When she pushed at his shoulder he laughed and said, "No I figured we would just… sit and talk a little."
"Dance?" Beckett guessed.
"Good suggestion," Castle replied. When she pushed him again, he was laughing and told her, "I thought we should. But really you can have some input."
"I like your ideas," Beckett said easily. She gently squeezed his hand and then said, "Here," feeding him some of her chicken after she'd gotten it on her fork and he'd nodded to her questioning glance. When she saw the way he was looking at her after pulling her fork away from his mouth she bit her lower lip and murmured his name before he was cupping her cheek and was speaking to her intently in Irish as he caressed her skin gently with his thumb.
"You can call me your nickname if you want to," Castle began. "But I have the sudden urge to nourish you."
It took Beckett a moment to think of what she wanted to say in response to that as it was so arousing, but she was finally able to speak saying, "Pervert."
"You want that," Castle said, almost as if in wonder, reaching down to grab her by the waist. He then realized they were still eating, and he let her go saying, "We need to eat first."
Though she was tempted to tell him they didn't have to Beckett nodded and they turned back to their plates. After a moment she then said, "The food is good."
"It is," Castle said. "You figure after everything we've done today we'd want to eat."
"There's a reason why we call this an addiction," Beckett said simply. She then smiled at him and said, "But remember you have dessert at the end."
"I'm not a kid," Castle said in slight annoyance though he was squeezing her hand. "And that's for us both."
Nodding, Beckett finished the last of her chicken and then said, "No toast?"
"Oh, right," Castle said. "To us love."
"To us," Beckett said before they tapped their cups together. After they'd taken a sip she leaned over and kissed him lightly on the lips before saying, "Do you want dessert now?"
"It can wait," Castle said before he stood and started getting everything from the table to set outside. When he'd finished, he went to where his wife was standing at the windows behind the couch and placed his hand on her back before they began to kiss tenderly. After sharing a number of those he reached for his phone and started playing their song, pulling her away from the window a little so they could wrap their arms around one another while they danced.
Pressing her cheek to her husband's, Beckett closed her eyes as she took in that moment. Castle was murmuring the lyrics of Always to her and she turned her head slightly so she could bury her face into his neck a bit. She could smell his scent in doing that and just feeling him while they swayed aroused her still. When the song ended, she let go of him first and then reached for his hand so she could pull him over to the couch where she let him sit.
"I was going-" Castle started to say when his wife walked over to the table.
"Don't be my servant," Beckett said quickly. She smiled when he closed his mouth and set the plate with their dessert on it on the table in front of him. She joined him on the couch and said, "What is this?"
"Rice pudding," Castle said. "It sounded interesting," he added swiftly.
"It looks like it," Beckett commented. "Pears?" she asked, picking up the bowl that the dessert was in.
"Toffee pears; according to the menu," Castle said. "With candied lemons and oats… that last one I'm sure is inside," he added from what he remembered the menu saying. He watched her dig the spoon that had come with the bowl into it and said, "Have the first bite," as they were studying the rice pudding itself under the pears. He smiled when she glanced at him and then moved to take the spoon carefully from her so he could feed her that time.
Though she wanted to protest, Beckett leaned over and let him give her the spoonful before she started to chew. She tried her best not to smile while she did that as he was watching her closely. "It's good," she said once she had finished. "There's a reason why I let you pick," she said with a smile as he was getting some for himself. She got the spoon from him and filled it, feeding it to him. They took turns doing that and once the bowl was empty she stood to make them a mug of tea while her husband took the bowl outside into the hall.
Once they were sitting together on the couch again, Castle wrapped his arm around his wife's waist and pulled her to him as he lowered his head to hers. They began to kiss one another deeply but they were slow, wanting to take the time to taste each other. That started them continuing to build each kiss in intensity, until she was nearly digging her nails into his back as his left hand was reaching under her skirt.
"No, wait," Beckett said, breaking off their kiss suddenly. "I didn't want you to do that… tonight."
"What do you have on?" Castle asked in mock suspiciousness.
Beckett smiled and brushed her lips against his before she told him, "You'll find out. For now, I don't want to stop." She was pleased when he was quick to kiss her again and she held onto him as they started the same process once more until they absolutely had to stop.
"You're going to have to tie my hands behind my back," Castle told his wife after they'd caught their breath. There was a part of him that was startled by her kiss but when she made it gentle, he responded before she was moving his hands to go around her back. Getting the hint very easily he unzipped her dress and used the need to spread the fabric apart as an excuse to start touching her.
Trembling in pleasure, Beckett pulled away from him and got off his lap where she'd eventually ended up. "I'll be back," she told him with a smile at his wide-eyed stare at her.
"Should I wait here?" Castle asked.
"No, on your side of the bed," Beckett said as she then slipped inside of the bathroom.
Castle couldn't help the heavy breath of air he exhaled then, or jumping when the sound of it startled him enough to make him do that. He shook his head and then got up, discarding his blazer and his tie before he folded them both to set on the coffee table for the next night. That done he made his way to the bed while he was untucking his dress shirt at the same time. He studied the bed; which he'd made while he had been waiting for the food to arrive; and he turned down the covers so they wouldn't be in the way. That done, he hesitated before he decided to just sit on the edge of his side to wait for her once she was finished. At first, he thought he was going to need to wait for a while when shortly after he'd sat down the door to the bathroom was opening and he nearly jumped up in his haste to be standing as she stepped out.
"Are you that impatient?" Beckett asked him with a smile.
Castle was about to deny it when he realized how he'd looked getting up, so he simply nodded his head. "Which is weird, I've seen you naked all day," he then commented.
"It's different," Beckett suggested. When he nodded, she smiled and said, "Should I start?"
"Start what?" Castle asked, a myriad of ideas going through his head at that.
"Pervert, undressing," Beckett replied. "Speaking of that I'm surprised you're still dressed."
"Well, I think I know what you like. Don't call me pervert," Castle said quickly yet jokingly, pointing to her.
Beckett laughed softly and then untied the thin silk robe she was wearing, revealing what she'd had underneath her blue dress during dinner and the two items she'd put on for him quickly. "Sorry about the lack of garters but it's less to take off you know," she told him, watching his eyes raking over her to her arousal.
"That's true, and you still look fucking gorgeous," Castle said slightly huskily. He went to her and grabbed her, pulling her to him saying, "There's one thing though…"
"I know," Beckett said, reaching up and gently brushing her fingertips against his lips. "But I promise I'll take this to Tahiti." When he shuddered hard against her and leaned against her slightly she smiled and said, "You're welcome."
"Yeah," Castle said, his voice heavily strained. "Thank you so much." He was about to kiss her when he stopped and made her pull away enough so he could look at her body. "Kate you… I can see your cleft," he said as he realized he hadn't been imagining it.
"Of course you can," Beckett said, not surprised when he reached down to the light blue panties that were see through over her mound. She bit her lower lip when he wrapped his arms around her again and kissed her as hard as he could, holding onto her under her robe while his hands were roaming her back. She moaned in pleasure when he firmly cupped her ass and then gasped as he reached for the sleeves of the robe. Knowing what he wanted already; and wanting the same herself; she helped him and let him lay her down on the bed. She smiled when he went straight to her legs and gently started to roll her stockings down them and kissed after the fabric as well. Sighing in pleasure when he moved up to kiss over her thighs and then her mound though that was still covered.
Breathing a little hard against her, Castle brushed a few gentle kisses to her thighs before his wife was calling his name and he looked up at her as she tried pulling him up. He went to her quickly and they proceeded to kiss deeply and he lay directly on top of her, his hands running over her body that he could reach before he felt her hands over his back. He couldn't stop moving against her as she was arching her hips up against him and they were groaning together in their pleasure. He wasn't sure how long they were doing that but suddenly he stiffened and let out a heavy groan that turned into his wife's name as he suddenly orgasmed.
"Rick?" Beckett asked in surprise when he threw himself off her as he was cursing bitterly. "It's alright," she said, going to him quickly and wrapping her arms around his neck. She kissed the back of his head and told him, "We were doing that together."
"But why me and not you too?" Castle asked her, moving his hands and glancing back at her.
"I don't know… I had a chance to calm down changing," Beckett said. She then smiled and said, "And you know what my stockings do to you."
"It wasn't just that. Everything you're wearing did that to me," Castle said firmly. He turned and said, "But that quickly…"
Shaking her head Beckett said as she straightened his hair that he had mussed up gently, "You know that's a great compliment for me."
"That's true but not to myself," Castle said. He then smiled at her and said, "But you could help me feel better."
"Pervert," Beckett said, kissing him on the lips once she'd spoken. After they'd parted, she then said, "Alright but let me undress you."
"I… I don't really think you should," Castle said slowly as he watched her stand up.
"It's alright, I've seen this before," Beckett said with a gentle smile.
"Okay," Castle said slowly, still unsure. He stood up himself and helped her in getting his shirt unbuttoned and off before he stopped her when she reached for his trousers. "Let me," he told her gently.
Nodding, Beckett stepped back a little and then watched her husband unbutton the fly and pull them off. Seeing that the front of his boxers was slightly darker in color she said, "Hmm… do you have anything left for me?"
As he'd been about to toss his pants aside Castle froze and they fell right next to him before he looked at her, his eyes wide.
"I'm not kidding; I want you to come inside me the rest of the night," Beckett said. She smiled when her husband got his boxers off in a rush before she stopped him from going to her. "Stay where you are," she said before she went into the bathroom.
Castle was a little surprised, but he heard one of the faucets running before she came back out with a washcloth in hand. He let her clean him off, trying not to breathe too hard as she was a little meticulous and once she stopped he took her wrist gently before saying, "I can take that."
"Alright," Beckett said, watching him go over to the bathroom with the washcloth. She glanced around and picked up his trousers, folding them and setting them on one of the armchairs before she heard Castle calling to her. "You need to wear them tomorrow," she explained to him, knowing he was wondering what she was doing.
"That's true but I wouldn't mind ironing," Castle replied before she came up to him. They kissed sensuously and once they had stopped he said, "What would you like."
"I think I want more than just one position," Beckett said with a smile.
"Me too," Castle said eagerly. When his wife raised her eyebrow at him, he smiled and told her, "Tell me you're not feeling the same."
"I love you Rick," Beckett told him before they were kissing yet again.
"I love you Kate. I gcónaí?" Castle said, asking her always at the end.
"I gcónaí," Beckett responded before they kissed. That was far quicker as she was turning around to allow him to unclasp her light blue bra; that had been see through too; before she took those off and the panties that were the special set she'd bought for her husband. She was soon laying down on the middle of the bed, letting her husband take her left leg to place her ankle on his shoulder. Her right leg firmly wrapped around him she expected him to move to enter her when he just stared at her. She was about to ask what was wrong when he spoke just before she could manage to open her mouth.
"I think I need a little help," Castle explained to her. He wasn't surprised when she reached for his erection and he allowed her that before he had to guide her hand. Once he slipped inside of her, he groaned as she was gasping, and he said, "Are we staying on the bed?" though he wasn't sure where that question had come from.
"Anywhere but the table… or the… the… Rick," Beckett started to say before she was moaning her husband's name while he was sliding within her slowly. He finally stopped when their hips had met making her sigh and tell him, "Anything else we can't cover with a towel or… hold on to at least."
Castle nodded in agreement; which she was luckily able to see; and with that he began to thrust, going slowly at first to her soft moan of protest. He then picked up his speed slightly before he was changing his angle a little and going down to try and reach her clit. When she cried out hard a second later, he knew he'd succeeded and did that a few more times before he was going faster. He could feel her leg around his waist tightening on him each time he was doing that before he swore and began to slow down. "Kate…" he told her.
"Stop," Beckett said with a brief smile. When he had she sighed and said, "We were doing that for a while."
"I know but if we're really going to have a sampler-" Castle started to say, jumping playfully when his wife had pinched his side. "We're not going to be able to be in each position for very long." He paused and then added, "Or place."
"I know," Beckett said with a smile. "What now? Or where?" she added, smirking for a moment.
Pulling away from her, Castle sighed in frustration at the same time as his wife before he said, "I think this is your turn."
"We're switching?" Beckett asked him as she sat up. When he nodded, she gently touched his knee before he got up on his and she straddled him swiftly. After they were coupled again, they were thrusting together though she was able to move far faster than him. She was crying out and moaning every time she went down on him, the friction between them rough again. She wasn't sure how long they were doing that but suddenly he was slipping out of her and they both swore. She laughed and said, "That's our cue," to her husband's nod before she let him pull her off the bed.
Though he had to duck into the bathroom to grab another towel, Castle was going as fast as he could to get it onto the desk and then his wife on it after. But he was startled when she stopped him before he could go to her and then knelt suddenly, kissing her feet before she could say anything. "What did you want?" he asked for a moment before making his way up her legs until he was at her knees.
Smiling, Beckett said, "I want to put my feet on your hips; before you start." When he moved to press close to her, she laughed briefly before moving her legs to do as she'd desired, and they grabbed his length together before he was slipping inside of her again. They were thrusting together; as she clung to the edge of the desk; before they were kissing, and she was fighting his tongue that plunged into her mouth. Rolling around she tasted him and could feel him and hear his skin as it struck her own, making her wish they weren't going to stop. But when he did some time later, she was breathing hard and was limp against the desk.
"Are you okay?" Castle asked, watching her in concern.
Shaking her head Beckett confessed, "I was close. We can't spend that much longer."
"I don't want to be away from the bed for that much longer," Castle told her, leaning over to her and kissing her tenderly. When they parted, he said gently, "Can we go around here?"
"The couch and the armchairs?" Beckett asked, looking around. "The chest?"
"Not that one… or the armchairs," Castle said, pulling away from her though he regretted it. "The couch is sturdier."
"True," Beckett said, letting him take her off the desk. "Leave that," she told him, indicating the towel.
Though he had wanted to shudder in pleasure at the thought, Castle moved with her to the sofa where he stood directly behind her as she was standing so she faced the bed. He began to run his hands around her stomach, trailing up to her breasts but stopping before he could reach them and traveling back down. "My goddess," he breathed against her shoulder. "I adore you," he murmured into her hair against the side of her head.
"I want you Rick," Beckett moaned in pleasure as his index fingers were slipping around her clit. "I want to do the same to you," she then said.
"We will," Castle said before he pulled away from her and then picked her up to her gasp of surprise. He carried her to the bed and at her direction threw her there to her laughter. When she pulled him on her he realized what she wanted to do, and he got on her, thrusting as hard as he could once he was inside of her. He felt her moving with him and they continued that for a short while before they were moving, and she was above him. They proceeded to switch repeatedly on the bed, losing track of how many times or how long they spent each time. He was aware of their bodies wrapped around each other, friction rampant between them until they were stopping with him above her with her arms and legs spread as she'd wanted. "Here love," he told her, moving her.
Beckett went willingly as she was tired of having to pause her pleasure when they stopped. She leaned over the chest at the end of the bed and said, "Are you-"
"No," Castle reassured her. "Just a little like this… if you're alright with it."
Looking back at him over her shoulder, Beckett smiled and said, "I think I am… I'm sure this is me presenting myself."
"Vixen," Castle managed to say after he swore a bit in Irish. He then draped his body over her and proceeded to thrust once he had entered her again. He groaned while she was crying out, the pleasure intense as they'd been doing that for so long.
Holding onto the other side of the chest, Beckett forced herself back against her husband so hard the piece of furniture rocked slightly before her husband stopped. She went with him quickly once he'd slipped out of her and then laid down in the middle of the bed again. Wrapping her arms and legs around him as soon as he was inside of her again, she did her best to move with him as they kissed at the same time. There was little time for that though as she was soon breaking, her orgasm making her breathless for an instant before she was calling to him, begging him to fuck her again though she was taking in the repeated waves of ecstasy while they rushed through her. When he began to climax as well, she was crying out and a few seconds later she was doing that a second time herself. She was trying to move still with him but her rhythm; which had matched him before; was lost and she was writhing against his body until the last of her strength was gone. She felt him continuing, moving almost frantically within her for a little longer before they were both fully limp on the bed.
"Kate… please tell me you're okay," Castle eventually said when he felt he had regained his strength.
"Hmm, I am," Beckett replied with a heavy sigh. "No, don't-" she started to say when he pulled away from her. But he was soon lying next to her and she sighed in slight frustration before asking, "Are we doing that again?"
"Not unless you want to," Castle replied, pressing his lips to the top of her head. He was about to ask her if she wanted to continue making love when something suddenly came to him and he got off the bed with a groan.
"What is it?" Beckett said as she sat up and watched him.
"My gift to you," Castle replied. He was startled when he heard her laughing and paused, looking back at her.
"My gift for you, it's in my suitcase," Beckett said simply.
"Is there anything in there you don't want me to see yet?" Castle asked as he went to the armoire.
"No, I just brought one set," Beckett told him slowly as he got the envelope she had and came back to the bed with two in hand.
As soon as he was back with her Castle kissed his wife lovingly and then said, "Hopefully you'll like this," as he handed her the envelope he'd written her name on.
Beckett cupped his cheek before she opened it and pulled out a picture of a jewelry box and she breathed out a little when she saw the Indian looking inlay on the top of it. "It's beautiful," she told her husband as she looked up at him with a smile.
"Those are mother of pearl and abalone in the inlay," Castle quickly said, happy with her reaction. "But it's the box; wood for the modern gift."
"I know, thank you so much," Beckett said earnestly, wrapping her arms around him. As they kissed tenderly, she was careful with the picture in her hand on his back and when they parted she said, "I'll put this on my dresser by the fireplace."
"Good place," Castle said, tempted to ask her what she'd put in it but held back. He then turned his attention to his own envelope and proceeded to open it, pulling out a picture that made him start to laugh before he looked at his wife.
"Iron," Beckett said, which was the traditional gift for the sixth anniversary. "But no more of those, alright?"
"Sure," Castle said, deciding he didn't need to say she had given it to him.
"Now," Beckett said, taking the picture of his iron dagger out of his hand and setting it with hers on his nightstand. "Why don't we rest?"
"We should," Castle said in agreement, smiling as he laid down first. He took her in his arms and as soon as she was close he proceeded to kiss her, taking her lips sensuously at first before they slowed down a little and then parted. With a heavy sigh of contentment, he wrapped his arms around her to hold her firmly to his side and said, "Is this what you wanted from marriage?"
With a slight smile on her face Beckett said, "I had no idea what else I wanted besides the love and respect of whoever my husband was. So the fact I have what I do with you is more than I anticipated. And what I want," brushing her lips to his at the end. When they stopped kissing; as he was responding to her; she asked him, "What about you?"
"My answer is the same as yours," Castle said. When she just studied him, having propped herself up to look down at him, he reached up and started to run his fingers through her hair telling her, "I told you before, I went through with both weddings before thinking I had to go through them as a requirement. With you I absolutely had to be with you for the rest of our lives, I wanted children with you and wanted this with you." He ran his hand over her bare back, letting it rest on the small of it before she leaned down to him and kissed him before he responded to her in turn. After they stopped, he caressed her hair and said, "I want to come back next year."
"I thought we said every year," Beckett replied, leaning up and pressing her lips to his jaw a few times. "And we should try."
Castle, looking down at her, studied her for a moment and said adoringly, "I want you again Kate."
"We will," Beckett said. She smiled when he looked surprised and then said, "I want you too. But for now, promise me in four years we'll be back here too."
"Of course, every five years," Castle said. He gently ran his hand over the back of her head and told her, "I love you Kate."
"I love you so much Rick," Beckett replied quickly. They were looking at each other and soon after she leaned down, kissing him before her husband was suddenly flipping her around onto her back. She wrapped her arms and legs around him until he stopped and slowly pulled away from her. She bit her lower lip and asked, "Will you fuck me again love?"
"Until you want me to stop," Castle said swiftly. He then said with a slight smile, "Our anniversary isn't over yet either."
"Pervert," Beckett said.
"And I'm yours you know," Castle told her as he pressed his forehead to hers.
"You are," Beckett said in agreement. "And I want you again."
"Always love," Castle told her huskily.
"Always," Beckett breathed before they were kissing once more.
It took very little time for Castle and Beckett to come together and begin to make love, wanting to make sure they could feel that love. They were passionate and rough and didn't stop until they were climaxing nearly in sync. They lay on the bed for a while to regain their strength, but eventually they started again with Beckett above her husband as Castle held her close. Every time they came together from then on, they made sure they were loving as well as eager since their desire didn't cease being intense. And while they continued their intimacy the room filled with the sounds of their pleasure and their voices expressing their love and adoration as they continued to celebrate their anniversary into the rest of the night.
