"You don't mind you didn't get a birthday cake, did you?" Rebecca asked her daughter.
"No way," Mari said quickly. "I love these."
"Me too," Paul said.
Julia smiled as her friend and the singer playfully tapped their new churros they'd grabbed against each other before she said, "It is a really good dessert."
"We'll see if we can get it again while we're here," Castle said with a smile, knowing that was what she wasn't saying.
When the girl nodded and went back to her dessert, Beckett turned to watch her husband feeding a piece of churro with chocolate on it to Josie. She smiled as the baby bit at it eagerly before chewing on the entire piece. She cleaned her hands for her husband and turned to the Fosters when David was speaking.
"It's time for gifts," the mayor said quietly, he and his wife giving their daughter an envelope each.
While Paul was looking at his gifts as well, Julia waited for Mari to open her gift anxiously to see if she would like it.
"Oh Julia," Mari breathed happily, looking at her friend. "This is great; these are great."
"I'm glad," Julia said quickly as she had given her friend a Pentax camera and a set of charcoal drawing pencils for her sketches. "I wasn't sure if you would really like the camera."
"Oh no, I do," Mari said earnestly. "I can't wait to use it back at home."
"Sorry it's not here," Julia said in amusement.
"I have a camera already," Mari reassured her. She looked at the pictures of her gifts and she smiled saying, "This was a nice birthday." She turned her attention to Paul and asked, "Was yours?"
"It was," Paul said. "And thank you for your gifts, all of you," he said to Castle, Beckett and their group. "You didn't really have to get me anything since we crashed your vacation."
Skye started to laugh first before she said, "Not really though, we were happy to have you join us here."
"Good," Paul replied before he was laughing with the others.
The kids got up then as the adults were clearing the tables, and Julia started to show the others the jota with Eva before the adults from the village were coming out and watching them.
"Are they asking you to dance?" Castle asked Skye as some of the women had been talking to her.
"Both me and Mary," the investigator replied. "Luckily the Flamenco," Skye added. "Take my phone for me?" she asked Beckett.
"Sure," she replied seeing the investigator had a song set up. "Just let me know," Beckett added. She waited while Skye spoke with her wife hurriedly before they looked at her and she started the music. While the couple were dancing, she glanced at the people from the village who watched them dancing and was glad to see they seemed to be enjoying it. She was relieved when the two stopped and the others were applauding.
Castle was surprised when one of the women was speaking to Skye and she turned to them which made him quip, "If it's for Kate and me to dance forget it."
Skye said, "No, Julia and Mari; they saw them doing that while I sang."
"Sure, but they need another song," Beckett told her in amusement as the investigator was taking the phone back. When Skye had a song, she looked on while her daughter was dancing with her friend for a bit and they were soon bowing when they were getting applause. She looked at her husband and said, "Will this continue?"
"It already is," Castle told her while some of the others were starting to line up together. He thought of Skye and Paul, about to ask his wife if she thought they would dance when Eliza was rushing up to them and speaking hurriedly.
"Mommy, Daddy! Are you gonna dance too?" the little girl asked eagerly.
"Sure," Castle said, smiling at his wife. He expected her to give him a look but when she smiled and took his hand he was startled. He was going to comment on that, but she was pulling him to the others to stand before the music began. They danced the jota with the others though they needed to watch the villagers at first to remember the steps. Once they'd gotten that set, they were dancing a little better and continued until stopping with the music and the others. They applauded before he wrapped his arm around his wife's waist, and he pulled her close.
"What?" Beckett asked softly in Irish.
"Tar liom," Castle replied, which meant 'come with me.'
Beckett smiled and kissed his cheek before they were walking around to the front of the house. "What is it?"
"I just wanted a second," Castle said.
"The girls are going to leave for the plaza," Beckett reminded him.
"Did you decide what you want to do?" Castle asked as Darnley asked about them going to a bar that was on the plaza.
"We can go," Beckett said with a smile. She wasn't surprised when her husband was wrapping his arms around her and she said, "You know we can't really do anything."
"Are you sure?" Castle asked.
"I am," Beckett replied, though she was pulling him to her so they could kiss. She felt a thrill pass through her as his tongue was soon after slipping into her mouth and she was quick to wrap her own around it before they were dueling. It didn't last for very long before they were parting and she murmured, "We better stop."
"Sure," Castle replied, though he was leaning into her again to kiss her. They were passionate that time and took their time until they heard one of the kids laughing before they parted quickly.
Turning towards the backyard, Beckett saw it was one of the villager's kids and he'd run back behind the house. She smiled at her husband when she was looking at him and she murmured, "I think that's all we can do now love."
"It looks like it," Castle said. "Should we?"
"Yes," Beckett replied before they were letting one another go. When they were walking back to the house she looked up at her husband and wrapped her arm around him before he did the same to her. They walked to the tables and sat with some of the other adults, watching the kids running around and playing together and they talked and drank wine while they watched the sky darkening in the west as night approached.
"What do you do while you're here?" Mari asked Julia.
"Just run around and play with the other kids," she replied with a smile. "Or talk, I don't know how much I'm going to really play."
"We need to stay with Eve?" Mari inquired.
Julia was about to tell her friend she didn't need to but hesitated, knowing Mari was going to feel grown up with it being her birthday still. Instead she told her, "If you want to do that then it's okay."
"Sure," Mari said. "But I'm thirsty, can we get something to drink at the bar?"
"I think so, our parents are there so they can pay for it," Julia said. They went over to that bar and she looked for her parents before she saw them talking with Eliza.
"Oh, there's Jules now!" the little girl exclaimed when she saw her big sister. "Are you gonna get a drink?" she asked in a rush when Julia had reached them.
"I want to," Julia replied. "Mari too," she said, seeing her friend was with her parents. She looked back at the others and asked, "Could we have a soda?"
"Yes," Beckett said with a sigh as her husband looked at her. She then turned to Eliza and said sternly, "I'm going to split it between the two of you."
"Okay," the little girl said immediately.
"Should we be worried she agreed that fast?" Castle asked his wife jokingly.
"I think we're fine," Beckett said in amusement before her husband was going to the bar itself to order.
"What're you going to drink?" Eliza asked, wrapping her arms around her mother tightly.
"It's called a Sol y Sombra," Beckett said.
"Sun and… shade?" Julia asked with a frown.
Before she could answer, Beckett turned to her husband as she'd seen he was coming over with the girls' Fanta orange soda. She waited for him to give them the glasses and told them, "Not too fast."
"We won't," Eliza said before she was taking a sip.
"So was I right?" Julia asked her mother after she'd had a sip herself.
"You were," Beckett replied.
"How come it's called that?" Eliza said after licking her upper lip.
"Because of the drinks they use to make it, clear anise and darker brandy," Beckett explained.
"Did Grandpapa drink it?" Eliza asked. "Is he gonna drink it now?"
"He won't," Beckett said, smiling at her. "He has some soda while he plays cards."
"Here love," Castle said, coming back to them with their drinks in hand. He laughed when Eliza was pulling on his arm and he lowered his glass so she could see the clear anise on the bottom and the darker brandy on top. "Pretty cool huh?" he asked her.
"Yeah, could I smell it?" Eliza asked.
"Go ahead," Beckett told her husband as she looked at her. "But you're only smelling it."
"I will," Eliza replied swiftly as her father lowered the glass for her again.
Seeing the face her sister made as soon as she had sniffed, Julia laughed and said, "It's not that good huh?"
"No," Eliza said. "You like that?"
"We're not sure yet," Castle said, smiling at his wife. "I hope so," he told her.
"Sláinte?" Beckett asked him.
"Sláinte," Castle replied before they were tapping their glasses together. He took a sip the same time his wife did and after swallowing, taking in the flavors, he nodded and said, "Not bad."
"It's not, luckily it's not too much," Beckett said.
"Luckily," Castle said before Julia was walking around them.
"I'm gonna go," the girl then said to her parents since Mari, Eve and Jacob were waving to her.
"Alright, make sure you come at midnight," Beckett told her.
"I will," Julia said, hugging both her parents rapidly but trying to be careful with her drink. She rushed over to the others and said, "Are you ready to go out?"
"Yeah, but we're just going here to the plaza, right?" Jacob asked while they left the bar.
"It's still going out," Julia said, playfully rolling her eyes. She smiled and then said, "Where's Eva?"
"I think there, someone's waving in front of the church," Eve said.
"Do you guys want to stay with us?" Mari asked.
"Yeah, Marie and Kath found friends closer to their age," Julia said.
"That's okay, there's no one here our age," Eve said first.
"And we're not that good with Spanish yet," Jacob added. "Not like you guys."
"You might be once we finish with this trip," Julia pointed out.
Shrugging Jacob smiled at Eva once they reached her and the other boys and girls with her. They were all introduced, and he was surprised when the group Eva had brought was talking to Julia and Mari.
"They said that you can dance," a boy said, his accent heavy.
"We can," Julia replied. "You heard of us on the TV show?" She smiled when most of the other kids nodded and said, "Do you want us to dance something now?"
"Please!" a few said in response.
"What should we do?" Julia asked Mari.
"Maybe the Jive," the girl replied easily.
Nodding, Julia then said, "Sure, let me see what we can dance to."
"Should we ask Skye to sing?" Jacob asked her.
"I think we need to let her rest," Eve said in amusement. "She sang twice." She thought of something and asked, "Where's Paul?"
"Here," the singer said with a smile. "You're going to dance?" he asked as the kids with the Hamptons group were gasping at the sight of him. "I might be persuaded to sing for you."
"That would be nice," Mari said with a smile.
"But first let me meet everyone who's here," Paul told them. Shaking the kids' hands as Eva was introducing them, he then said, "What'll it be lasses?"
Smiling at him, Julia asked, "Could you sing something from Fats Domino?"
"You're aware I have before," Paul said with a smile since he knew she was already.
"I'm Walkin'?" Julia asked him.
"Oh, that's not a problem at all," Paul replied. "Whenever you girls are ready."
Julia gave her phone to Eve and then went over to Mari as they walked away from the steps of the church so they had room to dance. "Okay, go ahead," she told their friend. While the music started, she and Mari began bouncing to it, waiting for the first lyrics which Paul was singing so they could dance to those lyrics; having made up a dance for that song already. She ignored everything else, not noticing the others coming up to them while they were going through their moves.
I'm walkin'
Yes indeed, I'm talkin'
Aout you and me, I'm hopin'
That you'll come back to me, yeah, yeah
Hearing the singing outside in the plaza, Castle got Beckett, Skye and Mary's attention before they went out of the bar with some of the others. He smiled as he easily spotted Julia and Mary were dancing to the music as Paul was singing again.
I'm lonely
Yes I can be, I'm waitin'
For your company, I'm hopin'
That you'll come back to me
Watching Julia and Mari take turns spinning each other, Beckett smiled when Julia was doing the splits since she had on Capri pants that night. She glanced around as some of the others around them watching were murmuring in their surprise before she entwined her fingers with her husband's as they watched the two dancing until the instrumental.
What you gonna do when the well runs dry?
You gonna run away and hide
I'm gonna run right by your side
For you pretty baby I'll even die
I'm walkin'
Yes indeed I'm talkin'
About you and me, I'm hopin'
That you'll come back to me
Catching her breath at that point Julia said, "Why is it so crowded?" noticing the audience then.
"You two dance really well," Jacob told them.
"Thanks," Julia and Mari said at the same time before they were laughing together and then turning their attention back to Paul before he was singing again, and they started up.
I'm walkin'
Yes indeed, I'm talkin'
About you and me, I'm hopin'
That you'll come back to me, yeah, yeah
I'm lonely
Yes I can be, I'm waitin'
For your company, I'm hopin'
That you'll come back to me
What you gonna do when the well runs dry?
You're gonna sit right down and cry
What you gonna do when I say bye-bye
All you gonna do is dry your eye
I'm walkin'
Yes indeed, I'm talkin'
About you and me, I'm hopin'
That you'll come back to me
After they had acknowledged the applauding, Julia and Mari were swift to turn to Paul and applaud him as well before he laughed and walked over to them, hugging them in turn.
"That was excellent," the singer was telling them. "And you made that up I'm guessing?"
"We did," Julia replied with a smile.
"It was mostly Julia though," Mari was quick to say. "But you sang that really, really good."
"Thank you," Paul said. "Haven't sung that one in a bit so it was nice to get some practice. Now," he then said to the girls, squeezing their shoulders. "I'm heading back to the house to get some sleep, it's getting late."
"Oh, I think my parents are going too," Julia said.
"Ours too," Eve said, Mari nodding since hers were leaving as well. She then smiled and said, "Thanks for singing Paul."
"You're welcome, have fun," the singer said to the kids. "Don't stay up too late."
"We won't," Julia said with the others. "Okay, so what should we do now?"
"Could you teach us how to dance like you were?" one of the village kids asked.
Smiling widely, Julia said, "Sure, I'll teach you the simple Jive steps first."
"I'll help," Mari said quickly.
"Thanks," Julia said before she turned back to the others before pausing as she recalled Eve and Jacob. She was going to turn to them to see if they wanted to learn when the former was speaking eagerly.
"You're going to teach us, right?" Eve said.
"Sure," Julia replied. Before they could start, she went to Mari and whispered into her ear, "How was your birthday?"
"So far?" Mari replied. When her friend nodded, she hugged her tightly and said, "It's been the best."
"Still want to teach them?" Julia asked.
"Of course, I'll be your assistant," Mari said, smiling at her.
Smiling widely back; since she and Mari had talked about teaching together if she ever had a dance studio as well as design clothes when they grew up; Julia nodded and turned to the others before they started teaching the steps of the Jive and dancing until they needed to return to the home.
"I'm wondering if I really should have another drink," Lily commented.
"It's not that much," Beckett said as their husbands had decided to make small shot glasses of the Sol y Sombra drink themselves.
"We're not going to use that much of either," Brad was saying a little absently. When he saw the others were looking at him, he said, "We're not filling the glasses to the top," to explain what he'd meant.
"Yeah, I'm still interested in having one," Mary said.
"And then bed?" Skye asked her wife.
"Yes, the kids better be asleep," Mary commented since it was a little after midnight and their older kids were back from the plaza and in bed.
"They will be," Beckett said while she took the first drink her husband had made as he handed it to her.
"What do you guys think of the village?" Castle asked.
"It's rustic," Darnley said.
"It is and we warned you about that," Beckett said.
"I'm not saying it like it's a bad thing," Darnley responded swiftly. "Actually, that's the appeal. I'm assuming the farm and horses are why we came here for this vacation?"
"It is," Castle said. "Getting to ride on the field is awesome."
Beckett laughed as Skye started snorting in her suppressed laughter and she told them, "He's drunk already."
"You should put him to bed," the investigator said with a smile.
Shaking her head, Beckett said, "He'd be worse than the older kids."
"Don't worry, I know she's joking," Castle said as he picked up his glass, having made the last drink. "Okay, salud everyone," he said once he had joined the others. He and his wife tapped their small glasses with the others before they did it together last. He took a sip and nodded saying, "If anyone wants this at home, I'm happy to make it. I just need to get some brandy and anise."
"I'm happy with it," David said, taking another sip.
Smiling, Beckett turned back to her drink before she said to the others, "We're not totally sure what we'll do on Monday yet."
"In Zamora?" Nkosi asked.
At the couple's nod, Skye said, "What are we going to be able to tell you? We're not sure what's there."
"She's right, we only drove through it earlier," Darnley added.
"There are some historic things," Castle said. "But we were debating about the Semana Santa museum they have there."
"You mean the week where they dress up like the…" David started to say before he paused and frowned.
"You might want to reverse that; the hate group back at home copied the Semana Santa costumes," Nkosi said.
"You're aware of it?" Skye asked him.
"Of course, we learned about it coming here… I mean to DC," Nkosi said.
"We can find something else to do," Beckett said quickly.
Shaking his head Darnley said, "It's not that we're offended; we know their costumes were around first. But I wonder if we should do something the kids would like better."
"There is a museum for the city," Castle said slowly. "It says the average stay is thirty minutes but with so many of us it might take longer."
"I'm game, maybe walk around?" Darnley suggested.
"Sounds good, but what about the pool?" Brad said.
"They won't get tired of it," Beckett said in amusement. "So just that and lunch before we come back?" When the others all nodded, she was about to mention she wanted to go to bed, but Lily was asking more about Sunday.
"So we're just going to the museum on Sunday?" the chef asked. "It's Father's Day," Lily reminded them.
"I don't mind it," Castle said quickly. "But you know we don't need to stay together for that."
"I think it's better if we stay with you guys," Rebecca said. "You guys have a better grasp of the language you know."
"That's true," Castle said, looking at Skye and Mary.
"We'll call my dad later that night," the investigator said first. "And we'll stick around you guys in Zamora if you don't mind."
"We don't," Beckett said first with a smile. "So we're in agreement? We're all staying?"
"I think so," Darnley said with a smile. "But since we're done," he told them, indicating himself and his husband. "We're turning in to get some rest for tomorrow's swimming."
"Are we picking any more berries?" Nkosi then asked as they were all taking their glasses to the kitchen.
"We can," Beckett replied. "We should, it's a much better dessert," she added.
"After the churros?" Skye said with a smile. "You think the kids are going to go for that?"
"She's kidding," Castle told them. "We're heading into the bakery tomorrow to get… something."
"Maybe," Beckett replied.
"You wouldn't want to make cream?" Skye asked.
"To go with the berries?" Castle asked. He looked at his wife and said, "You know she has a point."
"We just need to stop at a market," Beckett replied quickly.
"Are there markets?" Darnley said.
"There are, they're small but they should have what we need," Beckett said. She then looked at Skye and asked, "It reminds you of England?"
"It does," the investigator said. "But this time there are blackberries."
Beckett laughed softly and then said, "Hopefully it'll be good."
"It will," Skye said. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight," Beckett said. After she was saying the same to the others she and Castle went to their room and let him close the door before grabbing her pajamas.
"How're you feeling right now?" Castle suddenly said to his wife.
Turning from the closet, Beckett looked at her husband in surprise and asked, "Why?"
"The drinks," Castle explained.
"I'm fine," Beckett replied in amusement. "I feel very relaxed but other than that I'm fine."
"Just checking," Castle told her quickly to explain. He smiled and said, "Did you think I was going to start something?"
"I had the thought in mind," Beckett said in amusement. She then said, "But I think we really need to get some sleep."
Castle nodded and then went to the door of the room, locking it before he went to the closet. "I know what you're thinking," he told her quickly. "But I just did that so no one runs in tomorrow morning."
"Okay," Beckett said, watching him for a moment longer before she turned her attention to changing. When she was pulling on her pajama shirt last, she froze as her husband was wrapping his arm around her waist. "Rick," she said simply.
Not hearing any anger in her voice, Castle said, "I'm sorry love, but I can't stop myself."
Beckett was about to comment on that, but he was kissing around her neck through her hair. She closed her eyes as the sensation was quick to hit her and leaned back into him before she felt her husband wrapping his arms fully around her body from behind. "We can't do anything," she murmured to him.
"Don't worry," Castle said, pausing where he was. "I won't do anything to make us that loud."
"Pervert," Beckett told him though she was pushing his hands up under her shirt as they were already moving there. She stepped out of his hold and then turned to him before she was helping him in getting her pajama shirt off. "I don't know why I bothered," she told him teasingly.
"You should have guessed," Castle said as he slipped his hands under the waistband of both her pants and panties.
"I know, but I thought you'd want to get some sleep," Beckett replied.
"Not just yet," Castle said slowly as he started to gently push her clothes down. He wasn't surprised when she helped him and once she was naked, he was about to take her into his arms before she stopped him. He wasn't surprised when she was starting to unbutton his shirt but was a little frustrated by the delay. He helped her then, to get things to go faster and once his clothes were off he was pulling his wife over to the bed and they got onto it together, nearly falling on it as they were kissing one another passionately.
Beckett wasn't sure how she got onto her back, only that she was while she was dueling with her husband's tongue. When they parted, she said breathlessly, "You think we can?"
"We will," Castle said. "But… you're going to have to be careful," he warned her.
"I will," Beckett said simply. She was sharing another kiss with him and she held onto him tightly before he was moving down to her neck when they needed to breathe. She was gasping softly when he sucked at the side of her neck and her eyes rolled back as he was a little rough. When he finally stopped and moved to kiss around to the other side she murmured, "I'm assuming you left a mark?"
"I think I did," Castle said, looking up at her. He moved then to begin kissing around her collarbone and did that for a while before he went even lower. He carefully suckled at her breasts, hearing her moaning softly before it was muffled. He was about to move again before he noticed she was covering her mouth with her hand. "Are you okay?" he asked her gently.
"I am," Beckett replied as she moved her hand. She wasn't surprised when her husband pushed himself up to her to kiss her and she was quick to respond. Their tongues met soon after they'd begun and once they had stopped, she murmured, "Are you going to make love to me?"
Shaking his head, since he knew his wife was only checking to make sure, Castle moved and kissed down over her stomach until he got to her mound. He spent a little time kissing around the skin there before moving again to her clit. He glanced up at her momentarily when she let out a soft sound and he paused before he was sure she was okay. Once he was, he lightly lapped at her swollen nub before he took it into his mouth where he proceeded to suck on it for a little. He then rubbed his tongue over it, hearing his wife's muffled pleasure, and didn't stop though he had to put her legs over his shoulders. He held them in place, which added to the eroticism of what he was doing as he'd moved down to her entrance. His tongue slid through her folds easily and he couldn't stop himself when he groaned, feeling his wife bucking slightly in response to him.
Beckett was holding tightly to the sheet under her, trying not to move too much though it became impossible because her husband was giving her so much pleasure. She was soon biting at her finger while his fingers were rubbing her clit at the same time and she broke completely. She wasn't sure how exactly she was able to keep from becoming loud, only that her hand was still at her mouth. Her body was nearly twisting, and she was dimly aware of her husband holding onto her to keep her as still as he could. When her orgasm finished, she was breathing rapidly and reaching for Castle, pulling him up to her before they began to kiss passionately. She ran her hands over the back of her husband's head and down his back, pausing for a moment since she could feel him tense against her. "Okay?" she asked him with a smile when they had parted.
"Yeah, don't worry about me," Castle said quickly. He wasn't surprised when his wife was kissing him deeply and they continued for some time until they were breathless. When they parted, he said with a smile, "Though I could use some help." When she leaned in to kiss him again, he was startled but responded to her until they slowly parted and he murmured, "Not a pervert?"
"No," Beckett replied easily before they kissed deeply again. When they parted, she whispered against his lips, "My turn."
"Vixen," Castle breathed to her before he brushed his lips to hers. When they parted, he was going to speak when his wife was suddenly flipping him onto his back. "So…" he began slowly.
"Yes," Beckett replied before she was leaning down to him. They were kissing ardently for some time until she had to literally pull herself away from him. Once she had she gently nuzzled her lips against his before she moved to his chest. Kissing over it lightly she was smiling when she quickly heard her husband's groans of pleasure before she was sucking at his left nipple until he suddenly stopped her. "Rick," she said simply.
"No, I need to warn you-" Castle started to say.
"I know," Beckett said reassuringly. When he looked a little surprised for a moment and then nodded she smiled and moved to kiss him again. She didn't let that continue for too long before she was going back to his chest. She sucked at his other nipple and then moved to kiss a line to his length, pressed against his stomach. She gently took it off with her hand and kissed his stomach before going to his erection. Pressing a kiss to the very tip of it she took in her husband's muffled groan and then lowered her mouth around it.
Castle's eyes were shut tightly as he was trying to both handle what she was doing to him and keep from becoming too loud in his responses. It was difficult since she was affecting him immediately and he nearly called her name when she began to kiss underneath his member. "Wait," he whispered, reaching for her almost frantically.
"Easy," Beckett told him gently. "I wasn't going to do that for long; I know you're close."
"Extremely," Castle said.
Smiling, as his voice was very heavily strained, Beckett nodded and murmured, "Tabharfaidh mé aire duit."
Since that had meant 'I'll take care of you,' Castle couldn't help shuddering in pleasure and as she started pleasuring him again he gasped out, "You're a goddess love," speaking in English since he was too distracted to translate. When his wife didn't respond he was clenching his teeth together as the pleasure she was giving him again was becoming too hard to handle. He had no clue how much longer she was working over him before he climaxed, covering his mouth as Beckett had done to herself since he knew it was the best way to keep quiet. He was racked with the intense pleasure of his orgasm and was lost to time fully until everything within him stopped and he was laying still, breathing hard while he looked up at the ceiling.
Pushing herself up once she had finished on him, Beckett moved to lay against his side though she was looking down at him with a smile. "I'm glad we got to do this at least," she told him when he looked a little stronger.
Turning his head, Castle had been about to speak before he realized what she wasn't saying and he said, "We'll get to a hotel soon." He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close before he added, "And when we do, we're going to screw the living daylights out of one another."
Beckett laughed and said, "I thought you were going to say you were going to screw me."
"Oh no," Castle said seriously. "We're doing this to each other." He rubbed his hand up and down her upper arm and told her, "We'll take turns. Me on top, then you and then legs and arms all around us," smiling at her laughter that still didn't fail to send a thrill through him.
"That makes it sound like we're falling off the bed," Beckett told him teasingly.
"Still making love on the way down," Castle said, motioning with his free hand.
"You're such a pervert," Beckett said laughingly. She leaned down to him and they kissed sensuously for a while before she broke it off as she was becoming too aroused. They stared into each other's eyes for some time before she murmured his name and let him pull her down against his side. Once she was settled, she pressed close and they began kissing again while he was rubbing at her sex and she took his length in hand. They pleasured each other for some time until he was laying her on her back and kissed her again as shortly after they broke together at nearly the same time. She was gritting her teeth together tightly going through her ecstasy; as he'd begun thrusting gently as soon as he'd entered her; and was surprised she didn't let out a sound except for her rougher breathing. She and her husband continued to breathe hard while they were recovering from their exertions and they took some time to recover before her husband was speaking first.
"Yeah, our first hotel after this house we're taking advantage of," Castle commented.
Laughing softly, Beckett nodded and waited for him to gently pull away from her before she said, "We will."
"Sleep?" Castle asked. When his wife nodded, he sighed and said, "I figured."
"You're not tired?" Beckett said with a smile as she moved to turn the lights off in the room. She went back to the bed and said, "I really hope you are."
"No, I am," Castle said quickly as he'd been watching her walk. "And I know, we need sleep. But I needed that," he told her as he took off his glasses and set them on the nightstand.
"Me too," Beckett said with a smile, getting on the mattress. She and her husband shared a tender kiss before she told him, "I love you Rick."
"I love you Kate," Castle murmured to her. "Always?"
"Always," Beckett said with a smile before they were kissing gently.
After they had parted, Castle and Beckett were kissing again and for a third time before they stopped themselves. They laid down on the bed, not bothering with any cover as they wrapped their arms around each other. They fell asleep that way, wanting as much intimacy as they could get while they found their repose laying close against one another while night became morning.
