"Sorry to interrupt your game," Alexis said with a smile. "We're going to leave."
"We need to get out too," Beckett said.
"She's right," Castle said after laughing at how hard Eliza groaned. "Dinner will be here soon, and we need to dry off first."
Though she didn't want to, Julia swam over to the steps with the others and stepped out, taking her towel from Louis. "Are you just going to dinner?" she asked the two.
"We will," Louis said first. "We may watch a movie in our room before going to bed nice and early for the trip tomorrow. Wouldn't want to fall asleep on the boat."
"I wouldn't," Eliza said.
"Okay, we'll see you in the lobby in the morning… or the hallway depending on where you guys are," Alexis told them with a smile, turning to her sisters.
After the two had said goodbye to them, their dinner arrived and they gathered around two of the tables by the pool to start eating, the kids on their own while Castle and Beckett were with Josie and their parents.
"Anything about you two traveling to San Francisco," Jim asked his daughter and son in law.
"I have the plane tickets," Castle said, looking at his wife.
"You were too busy to tell me?" Beckett asked him.
"Sorry," Castle said. "But I was going to surprise you."
"You are now. What days exactly?" Beckett said, glancing over at the girls to see that they were watching them, listening to them.
"We'll leave the morning of the twenty-first, a Wednesday," Castle said. He saw her nod as one of approval immediately; since it was four days after their youngest's birthday; and continued with, "We'll come back on the twenty-fifth, that Sunday if it's okay with the girls."
"It is!" Julia and Eliza said at nearly the same time.
Laughing with the others Castle said, "If we could we'd take you."
"Maybe we can go again," Eliza said first.
"Maybe," Castle said when his wife had squeezed his hand firmly. "How're you enjoying your food?" he asked them.
"It's really good," Mari said first.
"Extremely good," Julia said with a wide smile.
"Smart aleck," Castle called to her. When he turned back, he was a little surprised seeing his mother was looking at him and asked, "What?"
"We're going over there as well aren't we?" Martha asked.
"Later," Beckett said quickly, keeping her voice down as her mother in law had.
"Memorial Day?" Jim asked them. When the two nodded he smiled and said, "It'll be great to go again."
"For now though…" Castle said, turning his attention to Josie and making sure the baby was okay with her food.
"I'm really glad the girls enjoyed the museum as much as they did," Jim said after they'd eaten for a little.
"They do enjoy art," Castle said. "And luckily Skye and Mary introduced their girls to art already."
"They have some really nice museums too don't they?" Jim asked.
"They do Grandpapa," Eliza said, walking over to him and hugging him. She took the chip he gave her and said, "Fleur and Iris said they love the Getty and Acama."
"I think you mean LACMA sweetie," Beckett said, trying not to laugh at her attempt at the museum's name.
"Yeah, that one, they said it's big and even has costumes," Eliza said, nodding rapidly.
"Dresses, clothes from the past," Julia said, having come over to the table with Mari. "I hope we can see it one day."
"We'll definitely go back to LA," Castle said.
"Good," Julia said before she was laughing heavily as her father was tickling her gently. When he'd stopped, she leaned against him before saying, "Do we really have to wait to go back in the pool?'
"Just for a little," Beckett replied. "We'll let you know when you can go back in."
"Thanks," Julia said, taking Mari's hand and pulling her over to the railing.
"Are we just going to stand here now?" the girl asked her friend with a smile.
"Yeah, hopefully being distracted by what's on the street will make things go a lot faster," Julia said. She had been looking out on their view as she'd spoken but when she finished, she turned to look at her friend before they were laughing together.
"Are they staying together while we're going to Spain?" Martha asked as they'd looked over at the girls.
"They are," Castle said.
"They should be able to at Xavi's home in Carbajales," Jim said. "Since the kids will need to share."
"And they'll all fit?" Martha asked him.
"They should, they put a lot of beds in the house for that reason," Jim replied.
"I do remember that," Martha said with a smile. "But until then, it's hard to believe this one will be in second grade soon."
"Not yet Gram," Eliza told her, looking from her baby sister to her. "I still have months to go."
"I know, but when you're back in school that's where you'll be," Martha said. She laughed with the others as the little girl was nodding firmly before Beckett stood up and called out to Julia and Mari.
"We can go in the pool now?" the former asked.
"Yes, but take off your sundresses first," Beckett told them.
"We will, I don't want to get mine wet," Julia said before she and Mari unzipped the other's dress and they gave them to her grandmother before hurriedly stepping into the pool. As they started to swim through the water, she decided to turn on her back to try and look at the stars though she couldn't reach it before the end of the pool. She lowered her legs and then looked at her friend saying, "I'm really glad we're here tonight."
"For your diary?" Mari asked with a smile.
"And yours," Julia said, smiling back at her.
"Are you going to write about what happened at the museum?" Mari asked her softly.
"Of course, I need to," Julia said. "Since it happened today." They were holding onto the edge of the pool and she asked, "I hope we can write tomorrow too."
"Since it's the last day?" Mari asked.
"Yeah," Julia said before she turned and saw her parents swimming to them.
"We'll have to leave the pool a little earlier," Castle told her.
"I know and I don't care," Julia replied. "We will get the swim in the ocean soon, right?"
"That I can't be totally sure about," Beckett said as her husband was looking at her. "Though are you sure you don't mind the pool not being ready until next year?"
"That's okay," Julia replied. "But it's so weird no one else has a pool that we know."
Laughing Castle said, "The Carters do, but they're planning on going to Egypt this summer."
"Cool," Julia replied. "We can swim in Spain, right?"
"You will, let's keep swimming," Beckett said in amusement. She followed the two girls back to the shallow end where Eliza was waiting for them and they started to play volleyball together while Josie watched them with a smile and wide eyes that were closing as she was slowly falling asleep.
April 1st, 2021
"Oh, I just realized it's April Fool's Day today," Julia commented stopping at dating her entry.
"Oh yeah, it is," Mari replied, looking over from the desk. "It's funny your dad and sister's birthdays are the day before it."
"Mom joked once that she likes it since it's easy to forget the holiday," Julia said before they were laughing softly.
"Does your dad like to pull pranks?" Mari asked her.
Shaking her head Julia said, "Not now, he'll do something like we have to make dinner all by ourselves or we need to wash the windows on the second floor. Mom said he would do little pranks at school… he went to boarding school until college. But he didn't do anything really crazy since they would have sent him home."
"Your gram would have been angry?" Mari asked her with a smile.
"Yep, she said that she would have sent him to West Point if he was a troublemaker, so it was just little stuff," Julia said. "She wasn't serious, she really didn't want him to go into the Army."
"What?" Mari asked at her friend's tone of voice.
"No, I just remembered from World History; when Dad was born the Vietnam War was happening. No wonder Gram didn't want him to go into the Army," Julia said.
"But he was in your- our past life," Mari reminded her.
"Yeah, but it was different then," Julia said before she finally shook her head. She then started to smile and said, "But at least he was okay."
"I know, and I know your mom's happy… I mean she was happy back then," Mari said, having to correct herself.
Laughing briefly, Julia said, "Yeah," before they were turning back to their diaries so they could start writing again.
Hello again, diary! Today's plans let me write to you again since we stayed at the hotel later today, but I'll write to you about that… later.
So this morning after breakfast we went over to the National Museum of Art (I can't remember the exact spelling in Spanish) where we went inside and started looking around at all the different artworks. They were really nice, and we got to see some by artists from Mexico and those were cool. We went through everything before we went up to the very top floor and there we went into a big room with paintings above each doorway, really pretty ones. There was a piano there and Skye started to play on it, really surprising Mary since she didn't think she should be doing that. But eventually a man came inside and he knew Skye from one of her investigations here in Mexico City.
After Skye introduced us, he took us to a room where they're going to have a special exhibit of Frida Kahlo paintings. I really like her artwork since some of it is colorful. But also some of it is sad since Mom told me she was in a really bad accident on an old trolley and was sick for her life and then couldn't have a baby (she has a painting of a baby inside of a figure's stomach… I mean womb). I was thinking of that when I looked at the first paintings and when I saw the one of her and her family, I felt myself freeze.
There Grandmama said that Señora Kahlo was there and I could talk to her. So I did and said I was so sorry she was hurt and that I liked her art and everything like that. When I stopped, I felt really weak and then a hand no, the back of a hand was brushing across my cheek and she said gracias. As soon as that happened I started to collapse, but Mari was there to catch me luckily. I felt better, even more after Mom got to me, but I can't believe she let me talk to her. I guess she knew I really did like her art.
After I was better and Mom and Dad weren't worried for me too much, we went to the gift shop. I got a really cool box that was carved and then a shirt with a decorated skull on it (they have those here, they had them in San Diego too). We left the museum after and then went over to the Zocalo, which is a giant plaza Skye said. It kinda reminded me of the Plaza Mayor in Madrid but this one I think is bigger and it had a huge Mexico flag in it, so that's different of course.
Before we went to the plaza though we ate lunch at a Japanese place, and it was so much fun because they had bento boxes and they were really good. Lizzy loved hers and wanted to go back but we're not really gonna have time. We went to the plaza finally and us kids got the chance to run around together which was fun. We took pictures of the huge flag and walked over to what was a cathedral. The really weird thing was that I got a strange feeling outside of it… negative and Skye couldn't figure out why (I couldn't either but I'm still young, she said I need more time with what I can do and sense and everything). So we left and went to the Templo Mayor where we saw ruins of what used to be the main temple in the city.
That place was super cool since it was ruins and even though it was ruins it was neat to get to see. Eventually Skye said there was residual energy and then I saw it, people walking and looking very, very serious. At first I thought it was a sacrifice, but I think it's just because they were going to the temple. We stayed there for a while and then went back to the plaza and back to the hotel.
We were swimming the rest of the afternoon (it was great to get to swim, especially because I can't help remembering that the pool at home is being worked on) and played and it was just really fun. Eventually the McDouglases went to dinner on their own, plus they went to the theater that's here in the hotel showing cartoons. Mom and Dad asked if we wanted to go but we wanted to stay at the pool (Lizzy especially). 'lexis and Louis went out on their own, to the same restaurant we had lunch at for dinner (they have sushi and… tapas like dishes 'lexis explained it for Lizzy). We had room service at the pool, just sandwiches or salads, simple things.
And that's why I'm here tonight to get to write to you! And good news, I really should be able to write to you again tomorrow!
Mom, Dad, Skye and Mary let us know what we were going to do tomorrow and we're going to be going back to Xochimilco and on one of the boats together; one with a table. I asked and Mom and Dad said that we would eat lunch there and just go around before coming back. I really think they think we're going to get bored, but I won't be. We're not going back to the Island of the Dolls, a different way, and I can't wait to see what we'll see. After we come back, we will swim again a little… or go to dinner first, I guess it depends what time we get back from the boat. We're going to eat Mexican one last time, going out, and I hope we can get something for dessert for the last day!
I said one last time because tomorrow's our last full day here and I'm kinda sad. I loved going around to see what we did and the lockdown too. And most of all I'm going to really miss sharing this suite with Mari. It's been so much fun the two of us all by ourselves, I just hope that we get to do this in Spain this summer!
But I have to be honest, I miss my house, the dogs, my room. Also, Easter is going to be on Sunday (today's Thursday) and I'm excited to celebrate that since Josa gets to celebrate a little bit. And that also means she's going to be a year old too! Well… a year old thirteen days after Easter (sixteen from today), and that means she'll start trying to walk and then talk. I think she might walk soon 'cause she's trying to pull herself standing up more and more though she doesn't get too far.
I do have one more day though I need to remember before we leave. But yeah, I can't wait for the boat and I'll tell you everything I can about it! So Mari's finished, I better stop that way we can talk for a little bit before we have to go to sleep. I'll try to write to you tomorrow diary!
Closing her book, Julia smiled at her friend and said, "Finished."
"Me too, I'm so excited about tomorrow," Mari said.
"How come?" Julia asked as they walked into the bedroom.
"Just because this time we're not going anywhere haunted," Mari began. She then faltered and asked, "Right?"
Smiling slightly Julia said, "I think a lot of the canals are going to be haunted. Dad said they were being used for ages and a lot of stuff happened here. Remember… oh."
"No, we learned about what the Spanish did here," Mari told her quickly. She shook her head and said, "It's hard to forget… is it weird we like going to Spain so much?"
"I don't know… I want to ask my parents what they think about that," Julia said thoughtfully. She finally nodded and said, "Yeah, tomorrow I'll see what they say."
"Cool," Mari said before they were both silent. She saw the way her friend was looking at her and asked, "What?"
"You want me to read again don't you?" Julia asked, smiling again.
"Yeah," Mari said laughingly.
"Okay," Julia said, laughing herself and hurrying to her book. As she turned back to the bed to get on it, she tried not to think of if they would get to do that the next day or not, wanting to return to the story she and her friend were enjoying so much together.
"Tired?" Beckett asked her husband as they walked into the bedroom.
"A little," Castle replied as he'd been yawning. He then smiled at her and said, "But I would like to do something." When she immediately looked at him, he was swift to tell her, "Not sexual."
"Oh… too bad, I was hoping for something," Beckett commented. She smiled when her husband looked at her with wide eyes and she said in amusement, "Something simple, we'll have a lot tomorrow."
"Yes… that means we need to go straight to bed?" Castle asked. "Tomorrow I mean."
"Yes, tomorrow," Beckett said in amusement again. She leaned over to him and kissed his cheek before she said, "Come and sit with me."
Castle was a little confused, since there weren't two chairs in the room, and she was pulling him over to the bed before he could say a word. "Shoes off?" he asked her.
"Yes," Beckett said in amusement. "And actually onto the bed."
"Sure," Castle replied. He was a little unsure of what exactly she wanted but didn't ask as he wanted her to tell him or show him. Once they were on the bed, he looked at her and said, "Well?"
Studying him, Beckett was slightly hesitant as she was unsure if she wanted to go with what she had thought of exactly. But finally she decided and pulled him to her before they were kissing, very slowly and sensuously. While they were involved with that she reached down, placing her hand on his lap before he jumped and she smiled as he wheezed out what he was saying.
"What are you doing?" Castle asked her.
"Do I really need to answer that?" Beckett said in response though she was keeping her hand still.
"No," Castle said in a rush, taking her hand off him and then pulling her onto his lap. Before she could say anything he was kissing her passionately, holding her to him as tightly as he could at the same time. He was running his hands around her body while they were busy letting their tongues duel and he was overjoyed when she was doing the same to him.
When they slowly parted Beckett smiled and said, "We should start."
"Should we?" Castle asked.
"You do have your hand up my skirt," Beckett said.
Looking down at it; since it was sliding up her thigh; Castle nodded and then said, "Yes."
Beckett was a little confused at his response but realized what he was thinking, and she said with a smile, "What're you thinking?"
Shaking his head, Castle reached for her dress and unzipped it in the back before she was stopping him hurriedly. "You-" he started to say in surprise.
"Not yet," Beckett told him, hoping that he would kiss her again. When he didn't, she was about to move to do so herself when he was soon moving her over to the side of the bed and she got up, startled when he was grabbing her hand. As he pulled her into the bathroom she smiled, realizing what he wanted before saying, "I'd forgotten about the bathtub."
Stopping next to it, Castle turned to his wife again and started to kiss her gently at first before he was deepening it. He had her pressed against his front and could feel her body beginning to move in response to him before he slowly pulled away to allow them the chance to breathe. Studying her for a moment he said, "Come here," gently turning her. As he was unzipping her sundress the rest of the way, he waited for her to protest but she said nothing in response. After he helped it down off her shoulders he was startled when she was reaching for his shirt. He then helped her as he had an idea of what she wanted, and he was hurrying with her to get it off. He gathered her into his arms and was kissing her passionately, pulling her so their chests were pressed together. After they were parted, he leaned down further, kissing eagerly at her breasts before he was cupping them as he stood up straight.
"Yes?" Beckett asked in amusement.
"When did you take off the top?" Castle asked her.
"After I rinsed off," Beckett said simply.
"Oh… right," Castle said, recalling she'd taken the girls into the changing room before they'd gone back inside the hotel. "The-" he began.
"They're still on," Beckett interrupted, knowing what he was going to ask. She smiled at his obvious swallow and she leaned against him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "What do you think we should do now? I would like to wash up."
"So would I," Castle said.
"Pervert," Beckett told him in amusement as he was pushing her dress off her hips. She was helping him and once the fabric was on the floor, she was stepping out of it, moving to her husband before he was grabbing her bikini bottoms. She didn't say anything to that, waiting for him to finish so she could step out of that as well. Naked, she went to the tub and plugged the bottom so she could start the water.
"Kate," Castle said slowly, watching her.
Turning, Beckett smiled and said, "You're not going to join me?" before he was hurrying to take everything off him. While he was doing that the tub was full and she turned off the water before she was turning to him. "Ready?" she asked him. When he nodded rapidly, she wrapped her arms around him tightly before they were kissing hungrily and she made sure her body was pressed tightly against him. After that kiss he was moving around to her neck and she closed her eyes again in pleasure at the sensation before they were flying open as she gasped when he squeezed her ass with both hands firmly. "The water," she said as she looked at him and saw the desire in his darkened eyes. They kissed before she stopped him and watched him go inside the pool, sitting against the back before she turned on the whirlpool and got in with him.
Wrapping his arms around his wife as she sat back against him, Castle kissed the side of her head and murmured, "Good?"
"Hmm, for now," Beckett told him. She then smiled and said, "We will need to wash up. And you'll need to tell me what you've remembered."
"Not yet," Castle said. "Not here," he told her. He was startled when she suddenly moved, and he let her go reluctantly as she turned to look at him. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, but you should know something," Beckett told him.
"Know what?" Castle asked in confusion. His eyes widened when she suddenly ducked under the water and he watched her, just barely able to with the way the water was moving and groaned when he felt her mouth down around him. He knew she couldn't hold her breath that long, so when her tongue cupped under his erection he was impressed before she was sliding away and sitting back up. "You didn't have to do that," he told her. "But," he added quickly as she was about to protest. "That was amazing."
"The little I could do?" Beckett asked him with a smile after she'd wiped the water away from her face.
"Even just that," Castle said, reaching up and cupping the back of her head with his hands. He kissed her deeply before they slowly parted and he said with a smile, "But we should wash up now."
"Mmm-hmm," Beckett said though they were moving towards each other again and kissing deeply.
Running his hands over his wife's back, Castle was pleased they were in the water as it allowed him to slide his hands over her back much faster. He was grasping her ass again as she gasped and arched her back before he said, "We need to… wash up," trailing off and continuing with a heavy groan as her hand was circling his length.
"We will," Beckett said, smiling briefly at him before she moved to let him submerge himself in the water. While he was doing that, she slid her hand underwater and fondled him before he was shooting back up. "You didn't like that?" she asked, trying not to smirk.
"Come here," Castle said huskily, grabbing for her. He helped her out of the tub and once she was sitting on the ledge, he took her legs to throw them over his shoulders. Burying his face in between her legs he was licking and rubbing at her, listening to her cries of ecstasy. He didn't allow himself to stop until he was making her climax, listening that time to her crying out his name repeatedly until she was still, and he was slowly finishing.
"I… should have known you were going to do that," Beckett said once she was able to speak again.
Castle was helping her back into the water as she spoke and took her into his arms as soon as she was. He was about to kiss her when she stopped him and he said, "Don't go underneath again."
"I wasn't planning on it," Beckett replied with a smirk. She brushed her lips to his and said, "I'll let you decide; stand or sit like I was." When he looked unsure, she told him, "Or I'll make the decision." She smiled at him when he immediately moved to sit on the ledge, and she let herself drift over between his legs. Taking his erection into her hand she lowered her head on it and proceeded to pleasure him, using her hands as well as her mouth. She was more than a little pleased at his shout of her name when he climaxed, and she worked to continue until he was slumped down in front of her.
"You're too good at that," Castle said, sliding into the water once he had his strength back. He kissed her once he had and they were involved in that for a while before they forced themselves apart and washed one another's hair and bodies before they were climbing out and drying each other off.
"Now?" Beckett asked him.
Castle glanced at her for a moment before he smiled and said, "Okay. It was a Monday night in June, the second of June I should say." He wasn't surprised when she looked uncertain about the day of the week, but he then explained it to her saying, "In 1952."
"Oh… good you were still impressive then," Beckett told him, smiling as he looked at her with wide eyes.
"I… yeah," Castle told her. He shook his head to shake himself and he said, "Yeah, could you do something for me?"
"Does it go with what we were doing then?" Beckett asked in response. When her husband nodded, she smiled slightly and said, "What is it?"
"Do you have another dress or sundress? Any kind of dress," Castle told her. He expected her to say something to that, but she was turning and leaving the bathroom, shedding her towel she'd wrapped around herself. He scrambled to follow her, not noticing that his own towel had fallen from around his waist in his rush.
"Wait," Beckett told her husband with a smile as she looked over her shoulder at him. She then looked down his body and said, "Hopefully you can."
"Yes," Castle said simply after he'd glanced down at himself. He then looked back up when he heard the armoire door opening and he watched his wife slipping on a sundress and he breathed out in joy at how loose the skirt was around her thighs. "Okay," he told her, reaching for her as she stepped up to him. Before he continued, he leaned down to her and her captured her lips, kissing her sensuously as he wrapped his arms around her. Once they parted he nuzzled his lips to hers and then told her, "I was at my desk that afternoon; we had the house to ourselves; and you came up to me while I was finishing writing the book I was working on then."
"How was your bath?" Rick asked as his wife was wrapping her arms around his neck from behind him.
"Swell, I wish you would have joined me," Kate said. She smiled when her husband was nodding, staring at his typewriter, and she kissed the side of his head before she moved to stand next to him.
"Just one more moment love," Rick told her. "I'm nearly finished." He was typing furiously before he then finished his sentence and nodded before he turned to his wife.
"Hello love," Kate said with a smile.
"You look beautiful," Rick said immediately, standing and taking a step towards her so he could wrap his arms tightly around her. She was in a thin dress and the top of it was wet still from her bath and he murmured to her, "You're not wearing your brassiere, are you?"
"No," Kate said with a smile. "I didn't see much need for it."
"You don't," Rick said firmly, staring at her breasts before he was reaching up to her, cupping them lovingly.
Biting at her lower lip, Kate watched him for a moment before reaching down to him, moving his hands away gently. She wasn't surprised at his uncertainty after that and she turned around to face away from him, finding herself smiling as he was reaching for her zipper immediately. As it was pulled down, she found her breathing was a little rougher and her heart was starting to pound faster. After he had opened her dress, she watched him pulling it down over her shoulders until it was bunched around her waist. She was about to turn when he stopped her, and she looked on while he was pulling her skirt up.
Finding his wife was completely nude underneath that skirt, Rick took a moment to admire her bare skin before he was reaching down. As he cupped her ass she was jerking slightly forward before she turned to him and he said, "That wasn't what you wanted?"
Kate cupped his face with her hands before he was leaning down to her and they kissed gently before he was pulling her against him and they were completely lost in one another. She wasn't sure how exactly they managed it, but soon her husband's vest and shirt were open and she raked her nails down his bare chest which ended their kisses. Smiling with swollen and throbbing lips, she told him, "Would you mind?"
"Not at all," Rick said seriously though he wanted to beam at her in his joy. He was taking off his shirt, vest and the rest of his clothes before he was exposed to her and moved to take her in his arms. He was disappointed when she moved away from him but watched her walking to their bed. A sudden idea came to him and he was racing after her, moving her onto the mattress as her skirt rustled at that.
"Rick… oh!" Kate cried out in surprise and then bliss as her husband disappeared under her dress and his tongue swiftly found her slick folds.
"You… we…" Beckett was trying to say as her husband was doing the same he'd done in the memory. She was frustrated at not being able to see him so she was pulling up her skirt, getting it out of the way until she saw his head as it moved rapidly. She was holding onto the pillow under her head, trying to use that as some kind of distraction until he pushed her over the edge.
"No good?" Castle couldn't help asking her with a smile when he moved up to her. He was soon gasping for air as she grasped his erection and he wheezed, "You did that too."
"And I will now," Beckett said before she moved him onto his back and proceeded to pleasure him almost furiously.
Castle was holding onto the bed underneath him, avoiding clutching at his wife's hair. He had a hard time resisting the temptation, but finally he was reaching his peak and he groaned out her name repeatedly until he was spent and a little weak on the bed. Breathing out heavily, he soon regained his energy before he said, "We basically did the same thing then."
"I know," Beckett said. She smiled as she pushed herself up his body and then cupped beneath his erection.
Groaning out her name, Castle grabbed her wrist and pulled her hand up to his, kissing the palm and then wrist. "And you did that then too."
Beckett smiled and lowered her head to his, kissing him before she pulled away and asked, "Anything else?"
"Yes," Castle said, getting up and taking her with him. He then said, "You got off the bed and I watched you going over to one of our dressers," watching her moving to get off the bed before he continued.
Observing his wife leaning against their dresser Rick was schooling himself not to race after her before he walked up to her.
Smiling when her husband reached her, Kate wrapped her arms around him so they could kiss again, and they did that for some time until they needed to breathe. He gently touched her waist before she was turning and leaning against the dresser to grab the other side of the top of it. She looked back at him over her shoulder, waiting for him to raise her skirt over her behind. When he'd done so she felt the warm air on her bare skin, and she was looking over her shoulder at him again. As he slapped her firmly, she cried out softly, biting her lower lip for a moment before she was leaning against the flat surface. "Take me Rick, please," she begged him.
"Of course my love," he told her. With her ready Rick didn't have to do much more than slide inside of her body, both groaning at the sensation as they were both heavily aroused by then.
"Do you care this isn't a dresser?" Castle breathed out to his wife.
"Oh no… this is perfect," Beckett told him, holding onto the twisting metal post of their bed. She cried out when he suddenly slammed into her and she did her best to hold herself up before she could stagger. She was closing her eyes tightly as he had begun thrusting immediately and she wasn't sure if she would last that long. She forgot about their memory, wanting to just enjoy her husband as he was going rapidly immediately. She let herself become lost in that very quickly before she suddenly realized he was stopping. "Why-" she began to say in protest.
Shaking his head, since she was looking back at him, Castle said, "What do you want? How?" he added at the end to correct himself.
"Fuck me," Beckett said immediately. She wasn't surprised when he looked startled, but she told him seriously, "I want you to do the same to me on the bed after this. The time after that is up to you; just make it rough Rick. I want to feel your cock pounding into me."
"Vixen," Castle breathed to her before he was thrusting. As she had asked him, he was doing so as fast as he could, holding onto his wife's hips to help him move before he realized he had a much better instrument for his leverage. "Kate…" he began.
Not sure exactly how exactly she knew what he wanted to ask, Beckett leaned down a little lower on the post of the bed and watched her husband's hands reaching to the twists just above her. She braced herself and she was tilting her head back as he was going swiftly, their skin slapping together almost loudly. She had to grip the post tightly before she needed to move, straightening up and wrapping her arms around the metal before her husband was pulling away from her. "Rick-" she started to say.
"I hate not looking at you," Castle told her; what he'd said in the memory.
"I know, you kept me on the bed," Beckett said as she moved to quickly lay on the middle of the mattress once her sundress was discarded. "And we stayed there but we used I Modi."
"After this?" Castle asked, climbing up after her.
"Yes," Beckett told him simply before they were working to get his member back within her. Feeling it filling her shortly after she was overjoyed, and she wrapped her arms and legs around him as tightly as she could before he was starting over again thrusting within her. She let all sense of time become lost to her as she just focused on what her husband was doing to her. She had her eyes closed but they fluttered open for a moment when she felt him smacking into her and when she orgasmed it was almost a relief as everything had built up so much within her. She was heavily pleasured before she realized he was joining her, and she cried out once while he let out a shout of her name.
Castle was relieved when he wasn't slipping out of his wife because he was going so fast, only feeling her clenching around him, drawing him further within her though he was as far as he could go. "Kate," he breathed when he'd stopped. "Fuck… my love…" he said as he was kissing at her jaw gently.
"Hmm, there's a reason why I love feeling you fucking me," Beckett told him, caressing his hair. When he looked down at her she told him, "I do enjoy that speed… your body pressing down on me, your cock rasping nearly through my pussy. Also, you filling me." She then bit her lower lip and gently ran her nails over his scalp and said, "Your come,"
Breathing hard, Castle cupped her cheek with his hand and said, "You love that?"
Beckett smiled and said, "I do."
"Then… might I do that again?" Castle asked her.
"Ba mhaith liom go dtarlódh sé thar maoil orm," Beckett replied, not surprised when her husband froze at that since it meant 'I want it to overflow in me.'
"Goddess," Castle breathed out to her before he was kissing her intently. He nearly forgot what they'd been talking about before and he took a great deal of effort to pull away from her completely. "I-" he started to say.
"Get your phone," Beckett replied, smiling at him as she watched him nearly jumping to it on his nightstand. When he came back to her, she slid along the sheet to press against his side while he opened his pictures from the Renaissance erotic manual. "Go ahead," she told him as he turned to her.
Castle would have started sliding his finger across the screen to turn the 'pages,' but his wife was turning his head to hers after cupping his cheek. He was busy kissing her for a while, but when they finally parted, he told her, "Ba mhaith liom tú a shásamh," which meant he wanted to please her.
Kissing him deeply, Beckett pulled away and said, "Let's choose it, not just me."
Nodding, Castle wrapped his arm around his wife and cupped her breast at the same time while he used his thumb to get to the first position.
Before they reached it, Beckett smiled as her husband kissed her ear through her hair as it was a depiction of the goddess Venus. "You know-" she started to say.
Brushing his lips to her to stop her from continuing, Castle said, "It doesn't matter, I appreciate your dimensions," aware she meant to draw attention to the woman's breasts in the picture.
"And I feel the same about yours," Beckett said, not surprised when he let out a huff of air and it moved her locks his lips were next to since she'd been glancing obviously at his length. She reached over with her free hand and slid it along the phone's screen to reveal the first position.
"I'd like to do that with you," Castle commented.
Smiling, the picture Paris and Oenone copulating against the base of a tree, Beckett asked, "You want to do that against a tree?" When he nodded rapidly, she laughed and kissed his cheek before she swiped to the next picture. "Hmm, I wish she could see what she's doing," she said, the picture of a female character from an opera by Lully on top of the male character, facing away from his as she was taking his erection into her.
"She'll still enjoy it. This one?" Castle asked her. When she shook her head he playfully nipped at her shoulder and smiled as she brushed his cheek with the backs of her fingers. "Let's see this next one," he told her, swiping the picture himself that time. They studied it before he commented, "It's a nice position but the satyr freaks me out," as it was the mythical creature with a nymph sitting on a rock ledge while the satyr was entering her standing.
"I know, next one," Beckett told him with a smile, swiping the picture. She couldn't take in the subject of it immediately, as Castle had begun kissing around her shoulders. He was also sucking at her skin and she was dealing with him fondling her taut nipple at the same time. "R-Rick, wait," she told him, stopping him.
"I can't resist," Castle said, not apologizing as he knew he didn't need to. They looked down at the illustration of the next and he sighed saying, "I'm sorry, this one just looks uncomfortable," shaking his head.
"I know," Beckett said, as the daughter of the emperor Augustus Caesar was facing away from the man she was mounting with his erection in her hand and her other hand on top of his head. She quickly went to the next picture and smiled as her husband was kissing at her cheek. "Hmm, it's next to impossible to do that you know," she told him since it was of Hercules holding up Deianaira as they were making love. The pair was also staring into each other's eyes and she said, "For that long."
"I'm aware, but still, it's intimate," Castle started saying. He then reached up with his thumb and said, "But not this position."
Beckett smiled and kissed her husband's cheek before they looked down at what was next, and she pressed her face against the side of his head. "Don't say it," she said teasingly.
"His testicles are too perfect," Castle replied, the god Mars underneath the goddess Venus with his length and scrotum visible. He smiled when his wife laughed and he turned his head so they could kiss before he said, "But would you like this one." When she shook her head he said, "You want to go through them all?"
"Well… not all at once," Beckett replied. When her husband shuddered in obvious joy, she kissed his cheek before she went to the next one. It was of a male and female satyr with a similar position to the previous satyr and nymph picture, so she went past it. Castle was kissing her shoulder at that one, Marc Antony moving to enter Cleopatra as they lay side by side, and she went on again. The next, with Bacchus and Ariadne, the woman on a pillow and the god holding her legs up under his arms, she quickly passed since they hadn't enjoyed that one so much when they'd tried it.
"We hated that one too," Castle said with a smile.
"I remember," Beckett said, smiling at him. She then started to swipe through the remaining positions, not stopping for very long on them before they had finished.
"So… did you like any?" Castle asked. When she moved away from him, he didn't follow her and watched her swiping her finger across the screen until she stopped and threw the phone gently to him. Managing to catch it, he looked at what she'd chosen and started to say, "But-"
"I don't want it like they're doing it," Beckett said, stopping him quickly as she was expecting his reaction. She'd chosen the leapfrog-like position of Bacchus and Ariadne and told him, "My knees will be on the bed."
"I'll make you faint," Castle warned her.
Smiling at him for a moment, Beckett told him, "I hope you will."
Swearing heavily in Irish at his immediate rush at her words, Castle leaned over and kissed her passionately. He didn't allow that to last for very long as he knew she would want to start but before they could get into the position, he asked her, "Fast?"
"Please," Beckett said. After he'd come back to her to set aside her phone, she told him, "But don't come when I pass out."
"I won't, I hate to," Castle said seriously. They kissed deeply again before he waited for her to move into position. Once she was on her hands and knees, he slid into her before she rested her arms on the bed as she usually did. She lay her head on the pillow still at the top of the bed before she turned to look back at him and he had to begin. He was searching out her g-spot shortly after that, finding it and groaning eagerly as she was crying out below him. "T-tell me love," he said to her when he'd reached his rhythm. "When you're going to faint."
"Yes," Beckett gasped. "Oh… I… Rick a little… There! Oh, I'm going come! Rick!" she cried out as loudly as she could since her orgasm was intense. It swiftly became too powerful and the waves of ecstasy were slamming into her body repeatedly before she slid into unconsciousness.
Castle, struggling with himself for a moment, was withdrawing from her and as he enjoyed doing cupped his hand over her mound to feel her sex as it continued to orgasm. He tried not to, but he couldn't stop himself, his fingers sliding inside of her before she stopped and he was careful drawing them out. He was cursing at himself, angry at his action as he'd never done that before. He was relieved when she was coming to shortly after that and he told her, "I'm sorry love, I put my fingers inside of you, I shouldn't have. But I couldn't stop myself."
Touching his shoulder to stop his near babbling, Beckett told him, "That's okay."
Breathing out Castle asked, "You're sure? And I won't do that again."
"Of course, that was amazing and you enjoyed touching, didn't you?" Beckett replied. When he nodded, she smiled and kissed at his jaw before telling him, "Then it's alright, but I'm not… fully satisfied."
"Neither am I," Castle said seriously, knowing what she wanted. He entered her again as she drew him to her, and they were fucking each other while her feet were flat on the bed to allow her to move with him. When they finally orgasmed, it was within seconds of each other and they were crying out and yelling each other's names. When they had stopped they were limp, sated for the moment since they had been together in their pleasure.
"Oh Rick, we would do the same thing," Beckett told him, caressing his back and feeling his skin was slightly moist from sweat.
"I know, it only had eighteen positions, but it was fun to look at," Castle said. "Taboo?"
"Probably," Beckett said with a smile. She shared a deep, lingering kiss with him before he moved to lay next to her and she told him, "I'm eager to see the house."
"So am I," Castle replied, holding her tightly against his side as he was on his back. He looked up at the ceiling and then told her with a smile, "But for right now…"
Beckett got up and pulled away from him, pushing herself back on her hands as she said, "You want more?" speaking teasingly.
"I want forever goddess," Castle told her firmly before he leaned over to her and kissed her hungrily. He felt her hand on his cheek and their tongues were soon tangling together before they very slowly parted. He looked down at her body and gently fondled her right breast before asking, "Are you overflowing at all?" fully expecting her to call him a pervert. But he was slightly taken aback when she reached down to him and made him finger her folds gently before she shook her head.
"We have a long way to go for that," Beckett told him. She wasn't surprised when her husband almost lunged at her, but she ended up still crying out before they were kissing and fondling one another. She grasped his ass tightly with both her hands as he thrust against her; though not within her yet; and she told him, "Don't… I want your come inside me! I want you Rick!"
Though he hated having to stop, Castle did so in order to slide his erection within her, making them both sigh in their joy at the sensation though it wasn't the first time. When they were fully coupled Beckett kissed him and they whispered their love to one another.
"I love you Rick… i gcónaí," Beckett told him as she caressed his back tenderly.
"I love you Kate, i gcónaí," Castle said seriously, staring into her eyes and kissing her.
They stared into one another's eyes again before they moved together and proceeded to make intimate and intense love that didn't fail to excite them as they lost themselves in each other while the night was continuing.
