"What?" the little girl asked, her eyes wide as she looked up at her mother.
"You can't use this yet," Beckett replied before she was holding the bow to her.
"Huh?" Eliza asked in complete confusion.
"She means you can carry it, try it out Lizzy," Julia said while she and Mari walked to them.
"Really?" Eliza asked eagerly. When her mother nodded, she reached up and took the bow before her eyes went wide.
"Too heavy?" Castle asked, walking over to them.
"No," Eliza said. "I thought it was gonna be." Before anyone could say anything, she held the bow like she'd seen her sister and parents doing and pulled back on the string.
"She has good form," Martha commented.
"She does," Castle said, glancing at his wife.
Shaking her head Beckett then said, "Maybe we can see the age for archery lessons."
Giving the bow to Mari, Eliza breathed, "Could I Mommy?"
"Maybe," Beckett repeated before she picked up Dani and they got out of the way of the older girls and her husband.
"Do you need any help?" Castle asked Mari as she was getting an arrow.
"No, I still remember from when I've done this here before," the girl replied. "And camp," Mari added quickly while she was quickly notching the arrow. When he'd left her, she brought the bow up and aimed at the target, firing soon after and looking back at Julia.
"What?" she asked laughingly.
"No, I could tell you were watching me," Mari said laughingly. She let out a fake cry of surprise when her friend ran up to her and playfully pinched her. "I remember from camp," she said when they'd both stopped laughing.
"Yeah, were the boys being stupid about them?" Julia asked.
"Yep," Mari said as she and her friend were smiling at Castle.
"Hey, we're so immature at that age," he said in mock annoyance. Castle smiled when the girls laughed briefly and handed her another arrow before giving the rest to Julia. "Stay with her and help her."
"Rick," Beckett said in amusement, shaking her head as her husband and their second oldest were playfully sticking their tongues out at each other.
"Sorry," Castle said though he knew his wife wasn't looking for that. "Eliza," he then said.
"What?" the little girl asked in surprise.
"What if," Castle said, though he was talking to his wife. "I helped her try it out."
"You can," Beckett said immediately. She smiled for a moment when her husband looked at her in surprise and then explained, "I knew you might ask and as long as you're helping her that's fine."
"When can I Daddy?" Eliza asked eagerly.
"After Julia goes," Castle said as they looked over to find the two girls were getting the arrows from the target.
"You want to know something?" Julia said softly to her friend at the target.
"What?" Mari said in surprise.
"My parents are going to compete," Julia said. "When they take their turns."
Snorting, Mari said, "I know that already too; mine would have done the same if they came over." She frowned and said, "What…"
"I don't want to know," Julia said, knowing her friend was wondering about what the adults would be wagering with the competition. "I'd like to take my turn," she then said once they had all the arrows. She smiled as her friend was laughing and they turned to go back to where the bow was before someone was touching her shoulder and speaking while she notched the first arrow.
"Sweetie?" Beckett asked her.
"Huh?" Julia asked, loosening her hold on the arrow and pointing it down at the ground.
"You and Mari aren't competing, are you?" Beckett said. She was a little startled when her daughter was shortly after fighting her laughter and she asked, "Stupid question?"
"No," Julia said quickly. "It's nothing… just a joke," she said, feeling bad for lying but not wanting to mention what she and Mari had actually been talking about.
"I just wanted to make sure," Beckett said.
"Don't worry, we would do that since she only ever does this here and a little at camp," Julia explained.
Walking back to her husband, Beckett murmured into his ear, "She guessed."
"I'm not surprised," Castle said before they were quiet as Julia was taking her turn and quickly. "You've gotten better," he called to their daughter while she and Mari were hurrying over to the target again. He then turned his attention to Eliza and asked, "Are you ready?"
"Yeah," the little girl said eagerly. She hurried after her father to the bow and picked it up herself, trying not to bounce up and down in her excitement. She waited for her father to fix the target so she would reach it before he came back to her and got the first arrow ready, and Eliza held it before he kneeled on the grass. "Daddy-" she said worriedly, remembering his knee.
"It's okay, we won't take too long," Castle told her gently. "Are you ready?" He smiled seeing her nodding rapidly before she grew serious and he turned his attention to the bow, covering her hands with his and guiding her before he let her go.
"Daddy-" Eliza said worriedly.
"Don't worry," Castle said.
Beckett watched while her husband was speaking to her gently before the little girl shot the arrow. She wasn't surprised when she missed, the string not taut enough and the arrow ending up in the grass. She glanced at Julia and Mari, seeing the two were calm and was relieved they weren't laughing. Turning her attention back to Castle and Eliza, she smiled when the little girl managed to hit the target on her last shot. "You did a great job sweetie," she said with a smile, taking the bow before her second youngest could hug her.
"Thank you, so can I keep going? Could Daddy teach me? Can you?" Eliza asked in a rush.
"I think we should," Castle said to his wife.
"Alright," Beckett said as she saw how hopeful Eliza appeared. "But if we do that during the week you need to make sure you finish your homework first."
"I will, I will," the little girl replied eagerly. She hugged her mother tightly and said, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome," Beckett said.
"Now you and Mommy take your turns," Eliza told her father as he was about to speak.
"Well…" Castle said.
"I'll go Rick," Beckett said, though she wasn't surprised when her husband was jogging to the target and getting it back up on the tree before he got the arrows for her. She thanked him before getting the first arrow before her husband was taking her wrist, making her smile before he leaned into her and whispered into her ear.
"Do you want to still do this?" Castle asked her.
"I do," Beckett said. "Though we didn't tell each other what we're wagering."
"No," Castle said slowly.
"Get ready," Beckett told him teasingly.
"Don't be so sure," Castle said firmly.
Beckett glanced at him when he was stepping away from her, smiling to herself before she was getting the bow ready. She fired her arrows before she saw she had scored a twenty-eight and she said to her husband, "Good luck."
"Yeah," Castle said as he'd stepped up to where she was standing. He'd wanted to kiss her, but she was walking over to get the arrows before she was returning to him.
"I-" Beckett started to say before her husband was suddenly grabbing her and pulling her up against his chest. She was momentarily startled before he kissed her, and she was swift to respond though she was ready to end that quickly if he didn't as she knew everyone was watching them. Luckily he pulled away from her shortly after and she smiled when she opened her eyes telling him, "Was that for good luck?"
"No," Castle said firmly, not surprised when his wife laughed softly before he leaned over and brushed her lips once she'd stopped. He then let her go and took the arrows she held saying, "Twenty-eight?"
"Twenty-eight," Beckett said.
"If we have a tie?" Castle asked as he got the first arrow ready.
Smiling, Beckett told him, "We'll worry about that once you go."
Nodding, since he knew his wife wanted him to hurry so the kids would be able to play, Castle turned his attention to the target and began shooting his three arrows. He was on the last one, attempting to get a bullseye since that was what he needed to get a twenty-nine. He let go of the arrow, and just as he did there was a gust of wind and the arrow hit the outer red instead of the center.
"Rick," Beckett said, going over to him immediately as he started to walk to the target. She gently grabbed his arm and told him, "Take the shot over," as he'd gotten twenty-seven.
"It was a fair shot," Castle reassured her, turning to her.
"Are you sure," Beckett said.
"It was," Castle said firmly. "And you've won so please think of what you want."
"Alright," Beckett said before she turned to help him with the arrows. When they turned back to the kids, she was smiling at how they'd broken away from her father and his mother and were running around with the dogs. "I think they're ready to move on," she said with a smile to her husband.
"Looks like it," Castle said with a nod. "Help me take everything to the basement?"
"Sure," Beckett said simply, unable to help smiling as she knew he intended them to kiss a little at the very least. She didn't mind, because she already knew what she would demand of him that night and hurried to walk with him back to the house so they could take a moment together until they returned to their family as the afternoon continued.
September 19th, 2021
Hello again Evangeline! I know you're wondering why exactly I didn't write yesterday; the day of the wedding; but there's a reason for that. Basically, I was so tired I couldn't write even though the reception ended not too late in the day. So now I need to catch you up so I have 'lexis' wedding down for the future.
On Saturday- yesterday which it's so funny to think it was, it feels like it was longer!- I got up and Mari and I got ready together. My dress was really nice, so was Mari's though of course hers wasn't a dress for the wedding party. After that I hurried over to 'lexis and Louis' room where Lizzy, Josa and Gram were already to help 'lexis get ready. Louis wasn't there because he needed to wait to see her until the wedding ceremony. Mom and Dad came over after that, but Dad was sent back to their room to wait too. I didn't really do much, neither did Lizzy, Gram and Mom were helping 'lexis with her makeup and her hair. When she was dressed in her gown, she looked beautiful, so grown up, and of course really happy.
Julia smiled down at her words for a moment before she heard a knock on her doorframe and turned to see it was her father. "I said I have a ton to write," she told him jokingly before he laughed and quickly responded.
"I know, I was just letting you know your mom just got back from the Darnleys," Castle replied.
"Oh… okay, but I still have time, right?" Julia asked.
"You do," Beckett said, appearing behind her husband. She smiled at him when he turned to her in surprise she said, "You went slowly."
"Okay, so now you know she's here," Castle said to their daughter.
"Yeah," Julia said in amusement. "I'll try and finish as soon as I can."
"You have time," Beckett told her. "We'll be back okay?"
"Sure," Julia said, watching her parents leaving. She smiled to herself for a moment; as her father had taken her mother's hand; and then turned her attention to getting more ink in her pen before she started writing again, beginning with a new paragraph.
Dad came in after that (he peeked his head in my room just now) and when he saw 'lexis I could so tell he was seeing her as a little girl still. But after a while he saw her as she is, a grownup lady who was about to be a wife. I just hope when me and EJ get married in the future (we're not ready just yet!) he'll be okay with it… I guess it means we have to find someone to marry who's nice like Louis is. Anyways, we had to leave to go to the altar after that and Mom and Dad stayed with 'lexis; Gram took us. It took a little bit before they came and I was standing with Erin (whoops, forgot that she had been there too with us) and my little sisters at the end of the aisle until 'lexis and Mom and Dad came by the end of the aisle and we went over to them to give 'lexis her bouquet and so I could take Josa down the aisle first so we could throw rose petals down the aisle ('lexis' bouquet was so pretty, roses like flames and then Bells of Ireland like Mom and Dad used at their wedding since they mean good luck). After us were Erin and Lizzy; Lizzy carried the box with the rings in them and Erin was just walking since she was Louis' best lady (what he called it instead of best man). Finally, Dad and 'lexis came down the aisle and it was really sweet seeing that since they were both happy you could tell. Though I do have to say Dad was happy since 'lexis was and 'lexis was because Louis was at the end of the aisle waiting for her. After that was the ceremony and it went super fast, but 'lexis and Louis' vows were really sweet to each other and then they were completely married and wearing their wedding bands.
After that was the reception, but before we went in, we took pictures and that was fun since we did it differently and there was one where AJ and EJ were together which was fun. (I can hear you in the back of my head Evangeline, asking about 'lexis' birth mother and she took a picture with just 'lexis and her and Louis but that was it, Dad didn't want to take a picture with them and 'lexis didn't want to either) The reception was so much fun, and we ate brunch since it was the morning still, and then got to dance but of course 'lexis and Louis had their first dance. I knew the song, it's one by Norah Jones called Come Away With Me and it was very romantic (but I have to admit that I like Mom and Dad's song a little bit better, though it's kind of because Paul sang it). After that it was dancing and then a macaron cake and more dancing before 'lexis and Louis left to change and get their things to take to Paris.
After that we went back to the B&B ourselves to change and we got to go swimming and canoeing and it was super fun. And I'm going to stop there about our time at Lake Placid because that's about it and I have a lot more for today. But it was nice to get to share a room with Mari again.
So today we went to the apples and it was so fun though we did the usual things, but before that we talked at breakfast about our next summer vacation. I think the adults talked about it the night before and they decided we're going to do a West Coast road trip. From Vancouver in Canada and all the way down to San Diego and I can't wait for it since we talked about where to go. We couldn't say much really, but one thing we agreed on was staying in Mill Valley and going around a few places of San Francisco. And I was able to get the adults to say that we'll be going to the zoo there so I can't wait! Dad and Skye are going to talk about it since they can get different places (Dad's been to Seattle and Vancouver already for vacations and Skye all over).
Back to the apples, I guess there's not too much detail there since I've been there before, and I don't think I have a lot of time left. But Mari loved it there and everyone else who hadn't been there yet too, so I was really happy about that of course. The apple pie was delicious, and it was all just a lot of fun. But I do have to admit that I missed 'lexis and Louis though I wouldn't really tell them to come back before their three weeks are up.
We came home after saying goodbye to everyone not coming to the Hamptons and I was so lucky, I got to invite Mari over and Lizzy asked Dani over and we were playing in the backyard until dinner. First though we got to play with the bow and arrows sets we had and that was of course fun. I could tell that when Mom and Dad took their turns they were competing to see who'd get the most points and Mom won, but that was because a gust of wind suddenly hit us where we were playing so he lost. Mom was really nice, she tried to get Dad to take his shot again, but he wouldn't do it so… I don't know, does Mom get something because she won? I guess that's between them though I hope it's something nice she asks Dad for.
But now I really have to go, I can hear Mom and Dad coming up the stairs now and I'm sure I need to go to bed soon. I should finish about today, dinner was pizza (we've got slices for lunch tomorrow!) and we played a little until Rebecca and David came to pick up Mari and Dani. And after that was just getting ready to go to bed so I could make it here to write in you again! So good night Evangeline and I'll write to you tomorrow!
Putting away her things, Julia was soon turning to her parents and smiling as they walked into her room and she asked, "Do I have any time left?"
"You do," Castle said first. "What would you like to do?"
"Nothing really," Julia said.
"No, there's something," Beckett said teasingly while she motioned the girl to come sit with her and Castle on the bed. Once they were sitting together on the edge of the bed, she was going to urge Julia to tell them when she was speaking a little hesitantly to them both.
"What places could we go to next summer?" she asked.
"Do you want me to tell you where I think of?" Castle asked with a smile.
"They might be tired of us surprising them," Beckett told her husband, smiling herself.
"I guess so," Castle said in amusement.
"So that's it?" Julia asked.
"I don't want to give anything away," Castle explained.
"Actually," Beckett said quickly. "What he means is that he has no idea where else we might go but the zoo in San Francisco."
"I hate to say it, but your mom is right," Castle said. "It's why I wanted to plan things with Skye. Though why not Mary?"
"She's been but not as often as Skye," Beckett replied since her husband had been looking at her. She smiled and then said, "But you'll figure places out."
"What about the Space Needle?" Julia said.
"Oh, well that's an obvious one," Castle replied, smiling when Julia giggled. "But after that we'll find out and we'll really surprise you."
Laughing outright, Julia said, "Thanks Dad, but at least we'll go to Mill Valley." She stopped laughing and then asked, "Are you still going to go to Adare?"
"Of course," Beckett said before her husband could. "We'll need to celebrate our eighth anniversary."
Looking at her father, Julia smiled as her parents were smiling a little and gazing at one another before she then said, "Mom, Dad?"
Shaking herself, Beckett then said, "Yes sweetie?"
"How come you didn't have a honeymoon like 'lexis and Louis are having? Staying in one place?" Julia asked them both.
"I think because I wanted to show your mom as much of Ireland as we could see then," Castle said when his wife looked at him pointedly. "Did you mind?"
"Oh no," Beckett said firmly. She then said, "I wanted to see as much of the country as we could too; I'd never been."
"You were there before weren't you though?" Julia asked her father.
"On my own but I didn't see every place your mom and I went together; especially not Adare," Castle said. "That would have been weird," he told his wife.
Beckett laughed softly and then said, "I guess. But everyone has a different honeymoon," directing the last to their daughter.
"Yeah we heard you'd like to go to Disney World," Castle said.
Julia immediately started to blush before she said, "That's not for sure."
"No, but it would be a nice one," Castle said.
"It's not weird?" Julia asked.
"People get married and have their honeymoons there already, so I don't think it's that weird for you do it yourself," Beckett said with a smile.
"Way in the future," Castle said. He was surprised when Julia nodded in agreement and said, "Really?"
"Yeah, I'm only twelve," Julia said. She then smiled and said, "Not too far from thirteen."
"I knew you were going to say that," Castle said, pinching her cheek as she was laughing.
"Julia," Beckett said then.
Sighing, Julia said, "I knew you were going to say that. But that's just because I wrote a big entry."
"About the wedding?" Castle asked. "Good," he said when she nodded.
Laughing, Julia hugged him first tightly and said, "I had to. Love you Dad."
"I love you too Julia, and when you get to that point of having your own wedding I hope you'll have your mom and I walk you down the aisle," Castle told her.
"I will, I just wish 'lexis could have had you go with them Mom," Julia said.
"It's okay," Beckett said. "I spent a lot of time with your sister before and after and I know how much she wanted me to do that."
"And you'll be her kids' grandma," Julia added, hugging her father.
"That too," Beckett replied with a nod.
"Okay," Castle said, seeing the way Julia was looking up at him a little hesitantly. "Night sweetheart and that's all in the future."
Laughing, as her father had whispered the word future exaggeratedly, Julia nodded and said, "Night Dad," before she went to her mother.
Hugging her tightly, Beckett said, "I love you Julia, sweet dreams tonight and what are you doing for Halloween?"
Julia couldn't stop herself, laughing heavily as she wasn't surprised her mother had heard her and Mari whispering about it before they'd had dinner. "We're trying to think of a duo costume. Is that okay?" she asked her parents.
"That'll be…" Castle started to say before he stopped himself and looked at his wife.
"It depends on the costume," Beckett said to him quickly before she turned to their second oldest. "He wanted to say cute."
"Ooh," Julia said. She then said, "Well… it might be. We were kind of thinking of wearing costumes from the movie Meet Me in St. Louis."
"That would be interesting," Castle said as they'd watched the movie together in the spring.
"Which dresses though?" Beckett asked.
"We're not sure," Julia replied. "Either the ones Rose and Esther wear for Halloween or the ones they're wearing at the very start."
"The tennis dress and the blouse and skirt?" Castle asked. When the girl nodded, he said, "If you care I think those two would be nice."
"Which one of you is going to dress as Rose?" Beckett asked.
"Mari wants to," Julia said. She pursed her lips and then said, "For some reason she wanted me to wear the tennis costume."
"You'd look good in it," Castle assured her. "Have you talked to your gram about it?"
Smiling, Julia said, "We did, she said she thought we were going to ask for a costume from either that movie or Singin' in the Rain. But she likes both costumes and said she'll start. But what about you guys? And Lizzy and Josa?"
"Josa we'll dress as an animal," Castle said.
"You don't know which yet?" Julia asked with a smile.
"No, as for Eliza we'll see what she wants to do," Beckett told her. "Come on, into bed sweetie."
Smiling at her mother, Julia hurried to get onto her bed after she'd kissed Macca and JoJo goodnight before saying, "Night, I can't wait for that though."
"Neither can we, those will be some great costumes," Castle said.
Julia nodded and then laid down before her mother was tucking her in, saying goodnight to them before they were leaving the room. Since her mother had turned off the light as they'd left she was looking up at the ceiling and smiling to herself, eager suddenly for hers and Mari's costumes and talking to her friend about it at school the next day before she went to sleep.
Walking down the hall, Castle and Beckett checked on their two youngest daughters together before they were looking into Julia's room. Seeing her relaxed, they went to their room where he was locking the door and stopping her from walking inside further.
"Yes?" Beckett asked her husband in amusement. She was startled when he suddenly grabbed her hand before pulling her towards the bed. "Rick?" she asked him. When he turned to her she was about to tell him to tell her what was going through his mind when he was kissing her roughly on the lips. It took her a little to recover from the abruptness of that, but she was soon responding and allowing his tongue into her mouth. They were dueling hungrily until she was breathless and pulling away saying, "Don't tell me you want to go to bed."
"No," Castle said. "But I want to hurry," he told her seriously. He was a little startled when she was reaching for her blouse and he couldn't help grinning for a moment before he took off his own shirt and they were undressing themselves while they stood close to each other. When he was naked first, he was going to help his wife before she slapped his hands away.
"I'm fine," Beckett said. "Get on the bed."
Castle hesitated, wondering if he should comment on that before he nodded and climbed onto the mattress, sitting up and watching her remove the last of her clothes. "This is what you want," he told her.
Smiling at him as she joined him, Beckett didn't say anything, instead kissing him gently on the lips before she moved to whisper into his ear. "Beidh áthas orainn a chéile anocht," she told him, which was the phrase 'we'll pleasure each other tonight.'
"Ar feadh na hoíche?" Castle asked which were the words all night. When his wife nodded immediately, he felt himself swallowing hard as images of what they could do were filling his mind.
"Pervert," Beckett said as she watched him with a smile. She leaned into him and kissed him harder than she had before, and they held onto each other before he pulled her onto his lap. "Rick," she breathed as her husband was kissing around her neck. "Wait," she told him, making him stop. She smiled at him and told him, "We need our book."
"Oh… I'll get it," Castle said in a rush before he hurried over to his nightstand.
Beckett was watching him, relieved when he didn't take that long to sit back up straight next to her. She took the book he held and covered his mouth with her hand telling him, "I'm first."
"I really want to tell you no," Castle said as he moved her hand.
"But you won't," Beckett said absently while she was flipping through the pages until she stopped at one.
"Are there enough positions for what you want to do?" Castle asked her.
"Remember there are two books in here, not just the Kama Sutra," Beckett replied as she was turning the page again. She smiled and said to her husband, "The Ananga Ranga." She wasn't surprised when he let out a rough breath of air at that and she laid the book, open, onto his lap and waited to hear his reaction which he shortly after gave.
"You want me to stand?" Castle asked, looking up at her from the page.
"It's what the position is," Beckett said in slight amusement. "Come here," she told him, taking the book from him and pushing it aside before she got off the bed. When she turned back to her husband, she was a little startled when he grabbed her and pulled her to him as he was sitting on the edge of the bed before he was brushing his lips against her breasts. She smiled for a moment when he looked up at her and wrapped her arms around him tightly before he was bowing his head to suckle at her breasts. She caressed his hair while he did that, moaning and sighing here and there in reaction to him before he pulled away. She dipped her head that time, kissing him before their tongues were dueling roughly together for a while. As soon as they stopped, she said, "I changed my mind.
"You did?" Castle asked in surprise.
"I did," Beckett said simply before she was getting onto her knees in between his legs. She was waiting for him to say something about her doing that, but when he was quiet she took his erection off his stomach and pressed her lips to the tip of it. She was pleased when he groaned a little deeply in reaction but turned her attention to stimulating him. Slipping her mouth down over him, she started with the very tip at first, gently rubbing her tongue over it for a bit while her husband was vocally reacting and swearing above her. She smiled inwardly, focusing on lowering her mouth a little further before she started bobbing her head.
Castle couldn't stop himself and he tangled his fingers through his wife's hair, staring down at her so he wouldn't pull at it. But it became a struggle when she was stopping and speeding up a few times. "Kate… we're not… not going to… last… long…" he warned her.
That time Beckett couldn't help smiling and she pulled back telling him, "I know, which means we'll be able to fit in a few times." She wasn't surprised when he shuddered in obvious joy and she went back to working on him. That time she gently worked her fingers underneath his length and heard him swearing again, trying to beg her to stop. But she didn't pay attention, instead continuing until she moved her hands up to the base, rubbing it by twisting her index finger and thumb wrapped around it. She continued with that until her husband was warning her and she was quick to prepare herself for his climax. She loved hearing his obvious pleasure but was focusing on his release and not stopping until after he had.
"Fuck," Castle couldn't help swearing while she kissed the tip of his member. He reached for his wife as she was beginning to stand up and pulled her to him, holding her though she stopped him shortly after that.
"Let me get on the bed," Beckett told her husband in amusement as she was bent over awkwardly with how he was holding her. She climbed onto the mattress and told him, "You know we don't have to do this constantly."
"I thought you wanted to?" Castle asked her.
Shaking her head, Beckett said, "No, I just wanted to do that to you." She covered his mouth with her hand again and then told him, "Don't call me a pervert."
Taking her hand, Castle kissed the palm of it before he said, "No, but I'm not surprised you did that."
Laughing, Beckett leaned over to him and kissed him gently before she pulled away and told him, "You can do whatever you want now."
"I think I'll stick with what you talked about in the first place," Castle told her firmly. He was expecting her to call him a pervert but was startled when she threw her arms around him, kissing him deeply before he was carefully laying her down on the bed. He brushed his lips to hers and said, "Let me take care of you."
Since her husband's tone of voice was so serious, Beckett merely nodded in response before she was drawing him on top of her. They were kissing deeply and once they'd stopped, she said, "After this?"
"Let's decide that together," Castle told her after thinking it over for a moment.
Beckett smiled and pulled her husband down to her so they could kiss again before he was moving down her body. She sighed in pleasure while he was kissing over her breasts though he didn't spend that much time there before going further down. She waited eagerly for him to reach her sex, moaning in pleasure when he pressed his lips to her clit. She expected him to play a little with it but was startled when he instead went further to her folds. "Rick…" she started to say, her voice tinged with her pleasure before he was pulling away from her to speak.
"I'll take care of you," Castle said seriously. He saw his wife's rapid nod and then turned his attention to her sex again, lightly licking at her folds before he was sliding his tongue through them. Tasting her arousal he was grabbing her, putting her legs over his shoulders before he was working in earnest on her. After he'd been moving his tongue in and out of her for a while, he moved his right hand to begin rubbing at her clit before he felt her shifting underneath him. He held her steady and then moved back to gently lap at her folds before going up to her swollen nub. He sucked on it as his fingers were moving back and forth within her sex and he was having a harder time holding his wife while she was trying to move more than she had been. But he didn't stop, continuing until she was crying out to him and he had his tongue back within her until she was eventually becoming still. He was relieved to hear the absolute ecstasy in her voice and he moved away from her after pressing his lips to her folds lovingly.
Feeling her husband sliding against her, Beckett was able turn to him before she cupped his cheek with her hand. They kissed deeply before she smiled after they'd parted and she told him, "What do you want to do now?"
Studying her, Castle could see she was serious and said, "You think that was enough of a reward for winning?"
Beckett laughed briefly before she said, "I had a feeling you were going to say that."
"Well…" Castle began, trailing off since he wanted to leave that there.
Shaking her head, and smiling still, Beckett said, "It was enough." She reached up to him and gently brushed her fingers against the hairs that had fallen onto his forehead before she trailed them down. At his mouth she smiled when he was kissing at her fingertips and she murmured, "Turn over love."
Moving onto his back quickly, Castle said, "You know what you want," as he could tell from the way she was looking at him. When she nodded, he was about to ask what it was when she was moving to his ear to whisper into it. "Oh… okay," he said.
Beckett laughed and then said, "We haven't done that for a while."
"No, but I like the idea," Castle said.
"Pervert," Beckett told him teasingly before she lay on her back again. She wrapped her arms around her husband tightly as he got onto her before they were kissing. They were rough together, tangling their tongues around each other and her lips were throbbing yet again before he was murmuring to her. She felt a thrill rush through her at how her husband commanded her to grasp his erection and she did so as she told him, "I should have known."
"Known what?" Castle asked in surprise, grunting at the feel of her hand gripping him lightly but securely.
"I wouldn't have been able to go without your cock tonight," Beckett told him.
Tensing for a moment at her nearly sultry tone of voice, Castle said, "I know how you feel, I need your pussy love." He was moving with her hand until the tip of him was within her and he then said, "You'll have to help me," feeling her legs wrapping around his waist before she responded.
"I will," Beckett replied immediately. She wrapped her arms tighter around him before they were kissing yet again and once they parted, she moaned as he finally slid within her. When their hips were pressed together her fingers were pressing into his back and she murmured, "Don't forget."
"I'll try not to," Castle said honestly, since he wasn't sure if he'd remember what his wife wanted to do. When she kissed the side of his head he was beginning to move, withdrawing enough to thrust in her a little harder. He loved her vocal reaction; a cry of his name that sent a thrill through his entire body. He only did that a few times before he paused and said, "Kate… goddess."
"Please," Beckett breathed as she begged him. "I want you…" She had to stop herself as he was speeding up and she was crying out again, that time incoherently since the friction was immediate. "Rick… don't… forget…" she gasped as he was already angling his hips down.
It took a sizeable amount of willpower for Castle to stop and turn his wife around, so she was on top as she had told him she wanted them to do. He grunted when she moved to straddle him and he told her, "You're sure?"
"I am," Beckett said, wrapping her arms around his neck as soon as he was settled. She wasn't surprised he'd asked that, because she could feel him throbbing within her still and the remnants of their friction. To distract herself for a moment; and recalling why exactly she wanted to do that during their lovemaking; she leaned over and kissed him, feeling her husband's hands on her back before they proceeded to run around it. She shivered in joy at his touch and leaned against him before they pulled apart. Staring into his eyes she began moving, rocking her hips back and forth and going a lot more slowly than he had been on her. "Good?" she eventually breathed to him. She gasped when he suddenly flipped her onto her back and cried out again as he proceeded to thrust rapidly against her. She wrapped her legs around him once she had recovered from her shock at the movement and proceeded to move with him the best she possibly could.
Hearing his wife gasping and calling his name, Castle would have been happy to remain on top of her with their hips nearly slamming against each other. But he was still remembering her request and after a few more hard thrusts was turning them around. He and Beckett were kissing each other passionately shortly after that and were running their hands around each other's bodies that they could reach before he was cupping her ass with his hands. Holding her while she arched against him, he was relieved when she moved then, and he worked with her with what leverage he could use.
Feeling their skin rubbing together down at their hips, Beckett leaned against her husband and kissed him lightly on the lips before they moved again. She was immensely pleased with her husband's force against her once she was underneath him again and wondered how long she would manage to last before he was nuzzling her jaw with his lips as he slowed down.
"Kate," Castle said, having to work to be able to speak. "I want us to come," he then said. "Do you… one more time?"
"Yes," Beckett said, relieved when her husband was turning them around. She wrapped her arms around him yet again and told him, "I enjoyed this."
"Me too but…" Castle started to say. "I'm not in agony but I just kind of wanted to come," he tried to explain. He was a little startled when his wife leaned over and kissed him and responded as fast as he could before they were apart. "Do you think we could stay like this?" he asked.
"Just like this?" Beckett replied with her own question while she was smiling.
"Yeah," Castle said simply. When she tugged him to her they were kissing passionately and he then said when they'd stopped, "Could I…"
Beckett couldn't help laughing briefly before she stopped herself as her husband was groaning and she then told him, "Sorry, but I was planning on you doing that love."
Castle, staring at her as she caressed his face with her hands, leaned up and lightly kissed her before saying, "You're a vixen." When he pulled away slightly to look at her, he wasn't surprised she was smiling at him and he was moving to her breasts.
As soon as her husband's mouth proceeded to suckle at her mounds, Beckett's eyes rolled into the back of her head and she was holding him with her nails lightly digging into his skin. His tongue was laving her nipples and with his fervency she was more than a little disappointed when he stopped. "Rick," she told him seriously. "I think it's been long enough," hoping he would agree with her before he was speaking and moving at the same time.
"You're always right love," Castle said, flipping her onto her back. He then proceeded to thrust again, as hard as he could and not worrying about switching their position. He was thrusting down into her after he felt enough time had passed and searched for her clit. It took him a few thrusts to do so and once he had it, he was thrusting a little harder. He groaned when she cried out and he breathed to her, "Come now, please. I need to feel you come."
Pressing her heels down onto her husband's ass, Beckett arched her back and called to him, "Oh! Rick I'm coming! I don't want… to stop… please… fuck me harder! Rick!" She was dragging her nails over his back before he was joining her, and she felt a surge of ecstasy in the sensation of him climaxing within her. She was clinging tightly to him, unable to ease up in her grip because her pleasure seemed to rise though she was slowing down. When she had ceased moving, she was trying to hold onto Castle tightly still, but it was difficult as she felt weak.
"Kate," Castle gasped out once he'd stopped moving and was trying to regain his strength. "Are you… okay?" he managed to say.
"Yes… I wasn't kidding though," Beckett said, caressing his hair lightly. She smiled a little when he groaned into her neck before she said, "Unless you're too tired."
"No," Castle said immediately as he got off her carefully. He laid on his side next to her and leaned over, kissing her sensuously before they pressed their foreheads together. "It's what you want."
Smiling at him making that a statement and not a question, Beckett reached over to him and cupped his cheek for a moment before she said, "You are."
Castle moved to kiss her deeply that time before he gently made her lay on her back. "You're a goddess," he told her once he had pulled away, pressing his hips to hers though he hadn't entered her.
"Thank you, Sheik," Beckett told him with a smile. "Now what do you want to do?"
About to speak, Castle hesitated before he then said, "What if we get off the bed?" His eyes were widening when his wife was pushing him away from her before she left the bed. "I didn't think you'd be that eager," he said as he was hurrying after her.
"Really?" Beckett asked him with a smile while she waited for him to step up to her as she'd reached the table behind the bed already.
"Well," Castle said. "I guess I shouldn't have thought you wouldn't be," he told her when he reached for her and wrapped his arm around her waist. Pulling her to him he wasted no time in kissing her roughly on the lips, feeling her responding as she was clutching at him while he did the same to her.
Groaning while her husband cupped her ass with his right hand and squeezed, Beckett moved away from him and told him, "What did you want to do?"
Smiling at her repeating her question, Castle brushed his lips to hers and then helped her onto the table. He slid within her slowly before he was touching her legs, intending to have her wrap them around his waist. Since she had done so just as he'd touched her leg, he was asking her, "Do you still want me to fuck you?"
"Please," Beckett said before her husband was beginning to move. She held him to her again, trying her best to move though it wasn't that much. But it didn't stop him, and she was benefiting greatly from it as their orgasms were as explosive as the one before. When they had finally calmed down, she smiled and told him, "Mind if I pick now?"
"No," Castle said seriously. At her gently pressing on his shoulders he withdrew from her, breathing out hard in disappointment. "Are you sure we need to stop doing this?" he asked her.
"I think so," Beckett said though she couldn't help letting some reluctance creep into her tone. "But you know we have a little more time; if you fuck me then we could do this for longer." She was expecting her husband's reaction to that and took his kiss eagerly before she was stopping him. "Rick," she said with a soft laugh as he was kissing around her neck.
"Sorry," Castle mumbled against her skin since he hadn't stopped.
"You aren't stopping," Beckett replied in amusement though she was biting her lower lip shortly after as he gently sucked at her shoulder. She gently pushed him away from her; much to her disappointment; and then said, "We're wasting time."
"I'm okay with that," Castle said before she was pushing him away from her gently. He tried to hold onto her, but she was pushing him away again and he followed her over to the bed where she got on it on her knees.
Wrapping her arms around him Beckett said, "Is this good?"
"I'm following you love," Castle told her seriously.
Leaning over, Beckett brushed her lips against her husband's before she pulled away and told him, "Too sappy."
"I'm sticking with it," Castle said, smiling when his wife started laughing and he moved to kiss her again before he got on the bed with her. While she laid down, he followed her, moving to kiss her as soon as he could before he pulled back enough to speak saying, "And I'm doing whatever you want."
"This time," Beckett told him firmly.
"This time," Castle said slowly. He smiled when his wife laughed before they were kissing hungrily and holding onto one another. When they slipped into fucking each other, he wondered in the back of his mind how much time they would take but his focus was going back to Beckett and he decided it wouldn't matter how long they took until they were satisfied for the night.
"You know you're weird right?" Beckett told her husband teasingly as he walked up to the bed.
"Why?" Castle asked, amused and not hurt at that.
"You made me wear your robe," Beckett told him laughingly while she held up her arm and the sleeve of it slipped down to her elbow.
"Just in case," Castle said, handing her one of the two mugs he had brought in with him.
"You realize I could have just gone to open the door," Beckett then said as she took the other mug so he could join her on the bed.
"I wanted you to stay here," Castle told her, smiling as she laughed. He then leaned over and kissed her gently before taking his coffee. "Kate-" he began saying,
"I don't think so Rick," Beckett interrupted him gently. "We have to get the girls up and ready."
"Are you tired?" Castle asked.
Smiling Beckett said, "Not really, luckily you listened to me once we were back here."
"I… heard you loud and clear," Castle said, laughing himself when his wife did as well. "But you were right, we were planning to spend time with Josie, so I guess we'll need to get up." He looked down at her then when she leaned her head on his shoulder and he smiled at her saying, "This is nice though."
"It is," Beckett said before she took a sip of her coffee. "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Castle said.
"Nobody else was up were they?" Beckett asked after they'd drunk in silence for a little.
"No, but hey I am dressed so it would have been fine if they came down to the kitchen," Castle replied.
Rolling her eyes, Beckett then said, "You know that's not what I meant."
"I think the girls are still asleep," Castle replied. He watched his wife in surprise as she was putting her mug on her nightstand before he was doing the same with his own. When he turned back from his nightstand to her he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Beckett said firmly, sitting up on her knees. She tugged his robe open and then tossed it to the table behind the bed before telling him, "I changed my mind."
"I see that," Castle said before he was a little startled when she seemed to lunge at him. He knew what she wanted already, so he was there to assist her with his shirt before he was taking off his pajama pants and throwing them to the floor.
"Did you lock the door?" Beckett asked as she was waiting for him to get up.
Leaning over, Castle kissed her deeply before they were slowly parting and he told her, "I did, hurry."
"Pervert," Beckett told him lovingly as she was smiling widely at him. They kissed again when she got on top of him once he was on his knees and straddling him, she took his erection in hand. They played a little getting him inside of her since they were both somehow pretending to slip him against her clit a few times instead of her entrance. They were groaning together in joy at it before he was finally within her before she lowered her body until they were coupled. As they kissed again, she started to move, but didn't go that fast so they could continue their tongues dueling for a little longer. Eventually she needed more than just the quick jerks of her hips and she pulled away from him to move faster. She was overjoyed at him moving to join her and they were pressed close together which led him to stimulate her breasts as well. She wanted to tell him they weren't going to last for long, but she was too involved in what she was doing to warn him her orgasm was swiftly approaching. As she was racked with seemingly unending waves of pleasure snaking through her entire body, she was aware of her husband joining her and they were clutching at each other until they were satiated, and she was breathing roughly. "Rick," she whispered, turning her head to him once she had her strength back. "I love you."
"I love you too Kate," Castle said, nuzzling his lips with hers. Once they parted, he then said, "I'm so glad we got to do that."
"Hmm, me too," Beckett said with a smile.
"No pervert?" Castle asked.
"Oh no," Beckett said, pulling back to look down at her. "Sheik."
"Goddess," Castle said seriously.
The pair kissed again, lingering though they both knew they had to get ready. When they stopped, they uncoupled with heavy sighs before promising to try and do something if they could that night. With that running through their minds they reluctantly left the bed to take a quick shower which they spent with only a few kisses between them. They slowly turned their attention from each other to the girls and getting them ready for school and the day though they weren't forgetting one another entirely while they prepared themselves for that late autumn Monday.
