"Vixen," Castle said before he leaned over and kissed her before he could take it back. As he pulled away from her, he stared into her eyes and said, "You might not like what I do once I bite into it."

"I have an idea already," Beckett said simply, brushing her lips to his.

Watching her, Castle brought the chocolate up to his mouth and bit on the side of it to expose the center. He turned to his wife while he was chewing, not really surprised when she cupped his cheek again before he leaned into her. He kissed her, their tongues rubbing together, and he knew she could taste the chocolate from his bite. He had a hard time not grabbing her as they started to become more passionate. But he couldn't forget the truffle and he reluctantly moved back to end the kiss. "I'm going to end up spilling this all over the bed if we don't start," he explained to her because she was looking at him pointedly.

"What flavor is it?" Beckett asked. Before he could respond she light dipped her index finger into the liquid and sucked it off her mouth.

"What-" Castle started to say before his voice broke. He quickly cleared his throat and hoped he would be steady as he asked, "What is it?"

"Passionfruit," Beckett replied. "You should get started," she then told him after she had leaned into him to kiss him lightly on the lips. When she'd pulled away, she laid down on the bed, loving the way her husband's eyes were literally glued to her. Set, she wasn't surprised when her husband proceeded to dip his finger into the liquid before letting it drip over her breasts while he moved the digit around. She thought he might stop and start to lick it off, but her husband instead got a little more, repeated the same action and kept doing that until nearly all the liquid was gone. When he poured the little that was left onto her stomach so it pooled into her navel she gasped and then said, "You better clean this."

Nodding his head rapidly, Castle moved to her bellybutton first since he knew she wouldn't want to lay there having to keep still so that wouldn't spill. He then proceeded to lick at her, going around in a wide circle so he was rubbing against her skin and then to the passionfruit. He did that only shortly and then moved up to her breasts, kissing, licking and sucking at her before his wife was crying out and making him stop. Glancing up at her he was going to ask if she didn't want him to do anything else before she was speaking a little roughly in her obvious pleasure.

"What are you doing Rick?" Beckett asked.

"Before the position," Castle said slowly, looking at her breasts before he gazed into her eyes. "I want to pleasure you, taste you."

"Taste me or me and the passionfruit?" Beckett replied, pushing herself up slowly so she was on her hands.

Castle's response to that was to kiss his wife before he pulled back to say, "There's not much left."

"No, and it's sliding down me," Beckett pointed out to him.

Glancing down, Castle could see that it was, and he said, "Then let me…" When she didn't say anything in response to that, he was moving rapidly down her body, letting his lips kiss a trail as he went from her scar to her mound. He wasn't surprised when she trembled for a moment in pleasure at the sensation of him doing that but focused on beginning on her once she had laid back down. He used his tongue to drag down the passionfruit until he was at her clit, pushing it around her swollen nub before he was focusing just on it. When he moved down, he was startled when she was stopping him and as he glanced up at her he spotted her navel.

Breathing out roughly, Beckett was trying to keep herself from moving underneath her husband while he was gently lapping at her bellybutton. When he pulled away, she couldn't stop herself from crying out since he was gently blowing on her skin and she said, "Oh… I… shouldn't have agreed to this."

"You can just tell me that you want me to start," Castle told her.

"Yes, but wouldn't it push you to do it faster?" Beckett asked him. She wasn't surprised when her husband moved to kiss her and wrapped her arms around him before they were dueling with their tongues. After they'd been doing that for a while she pulled away and said, "Rick."

At his wife's tone of voice, Castle moved back to her sex, that time going to her entrance. He pressed a kiss there for a moment before sliding his tongue through her folds. Hearing her cry of pleasure, he had to pause for a moment as the sound was affecting him but hurried to push himself back to her. He slipped his tongue within her, gently stroking at her walls the best he could before he was reaching around her legs and beginning to rub at her clit.

Arching her back, Beckett cried out softly before she reached down to her husband's head, sliding her fingers through his hair while her other hand was holding onto the bed underneath her. "Rick… don't stop," she gasped to him as he was continuing.

Switching to her clit, Castle held off on responding to that for a moment before he was pulling back and saying, "I won't, but do you want this quickly or me to take my time?"

"Quickly," Beckett said. She smiled when her husband looked at her in surprise and told him, "We are going to swim."

"Vixen," Castle said before he lowered his head again. He proceeded to suck, lick and fondle at her with his mouth and fingers, doing so as fast as he could. He was listening to his wife while he was busy with that, feeling his own arousal rising with every gasp and cry coming from her in response to his actions. When he could feel she was getting closer, he did his best to switch a little still but soon remained at her entrance while his fingers were lightly rubbing her clit.

"I can't… Rick… oh please don't stop," Beckett gasped out loudly while she was writhing back and forth. She felt her husband trying to hold her still, but she couldn't stop and orgasmed, feeling as if she was rising off the bed with the way her back was moving. But she was soon turning back and forth until she was calming down and her movements were interspersed with a pause. When she had stopped fully, she trembled feeling her husband was still lapping at her with his tongue before he moved to kiss her folds. She was breathing heavily still as he moved to lay next to her and said, "I didn't realize I needed that."

"Well… with the chocolates…" Castle said, smiling when his wife laughed and kissed his cheek. He moved to share a kiss with her and told her when they'd parted, "I'll get the book," before she was grabbing him tightly to stop him as she spoke.

"Close it, we don't need it," Beckett said. She brushed her lips to his when he looked at her in surprise before she told him, "I changed my mind."

Castle hurried to put the book away in his nightstand drawer and he turned to her as he felt her coming up behind him. "The same?" he asked, watching her picking up a chocolate around him.

"We try to be even, don't we?" Beckett asked, brushing the truffle along her lower lip. When her husband leaned into her, she was ready for his kiss, responding fervently before their tongues were lightly rubbing against each other. After they parted, she said, "Sit over there love."

Nodding, Castle hurried to the middle of the bed and sat there, reaching for her and pulling her over to him. They kissed again before he watched her biting into the chocolate before he leaned into her. He was intending to kiss her, but she was stopping him, and he said, "You're that focused."

Trying her best not to smile at his wording, Beckett instead turned her attention to the chocolate and dipped her finger in it as she'd done before. "I'm thinking of you," she told him at the same time she was slipping her finger into his mouth.

Castle was worried he was going to bite into his wife's digit he was licking at that moment when her gaze went obviously to his erection. But he managed not to before he gently pulled her hand away and he said, "It's okay."

Beckett laughed and said, "Sit back." When he did so, though he hesitated, she was gently tipping the chocolate on his chest, right above his nipple. As her husband was breathing out roughly, she said, "It's cold?"

Giving her a brief look, Castle waited for her to lick up what had been dragon fruit liquid before he told her, "You do realize I'm going to be a little sensitive."

"And you said it's okay?" Beckett replied. She didn't let her husband respond to that, moving to pour a little more liquid on his other nipple. Licking it off she asked him, "Would you mind?"

"No," Castle said quickly since he knew what she was thinking of doing already. He looked on while she lightly dabbed the tip of his length with her finger before licking the liquid she had put there. When she had done that twice and pulled away, he said, "Maybe you should… pour?"

Shaking her head, as she smiled, Beckett said, "I know what I'm doing love." She leaned down and pressed her lips to the tip before she ate the rest of the chocolate, knowing her husband was watching her. "It was taking too long," she told him. She gently brushed her fingertips against his lips saying, "Yes, I do want this."

Though he hadn't been about to ask if she was okay with pleasuring him, Castle didn't blame her for thinking it before he forgot what he'd been contemplating as she immediately lowered her head on him. As she directly proceeded to bob her head up and down, he was holding onto the back of her head and trying not to hurt her. But he couldn't stop himself and was tangling his fingers through her hair as he did his best not to pull at it though it became more and more difficult. When he felt he was about to climax he tried to warn her, but never had the chance as his entire body tensed up completely.

Working the best she could on her husband, Beckett was slowing down in her ministrations once she felt he was doing the same. When she looked up at him and saw he was slumped against the headboard, she pulled back and lightly kissed the tip of him before she moved up to him. When he grabbed for her, she went quickly to him, and they were kissing at the same time and running their hands over each other. She gasped as he firmly squeezed her ass and she said with a smile against his lips, "You want to swim now?"

"Still too soon," Castle said before he moved to gently lay his wife on her back before he followed to the thrill of her laughter.

"I think I should do it."

"No."

"Come on."

"Stop whining Rick," Beckett said teasingly. "It's unattractive." When her husband playfully pouted, she told him, "Go ahead."

"Thank you," Castle said eagerly, kissing her cheek.

Smiling, Beckett watched her husband doing a cannonball over the floating deck in the water, the water splashing her. As soon as he was resurfacing, she dove in and went down for a bit before coming back up next to her husband. "Hello," she said while she lightly kissed him before he was responding with a smile.

"Hey, I was getting worried," Castle said.

"Why?" Beckett said slightly laughingly.

"You weren't coming back up," Castle explained. "And then you did."

"So you're good?" Beckett asked. She laughed softly when her husband was nodding slowly before she asked, "Are you ready to head out?"

"Of course," Castle replied before they headed back to the deck. Sitting on the edge with her he said, "Where would you like to go?"

"For my birthday?" Beckett asked.

"Partially," Castle said honestly. "But I do want to know where you'd like to go."

Turning ahead of them once her second flipper was on, Beckett said, "Just straight out."

"Does it matter how far we go?" Castle asked, putting his diving mask on.

"We'll see as we go," Beckett answered with a smile. She had everything ready so she and her husband slipped into the water, and she told him, "See you underneath." When he made an okay symbol with his fingers she laughed briefly before putting the snorkel into her mouth. They went underneath at the same time before they swam away from the hut, going straight until she dove underneath first. Her husband followed her, and they went down to a nearby school of fish she managed to get close to before they swam away. She and Castle resurfaced shortly after and she said, "Finding Nemo?"

"It was," he replied. "Not bad first thing."

"It's not," Beckett said before they went under again. Since they were close enough, they went down to some coral, and she spotted something blue. She watched her husband gently picking up the starfish and she ran her fingers lightly over it before he put it back.

When his wife dug her nails into his arm, Castle looked over at her and then in the direction she was before he realized what she'd seen. They swam together up to the surface and the hut before they got on the deck. "You know," he said once they'd caught their breath and had taken off their masks and snorkels. "I'm annoyed by sharks."

Beckett smiled and said, "We're on their turf you know."

Laughing, Castle reached for her hand and kissed the back of it before she looked back to see if there was any sign of a shark's fin. "I looked up the sharks around here, that was definitely a Grey Reef."

"It was pretty," Beckett said.

Nodding quickly, as he knew what she meant by the sun through the water shining on the side of the animal, Castle suddenly snapped his fingers before he said, "Longfin Bannerfish."

Beckett turned her attention to her husband in confusion before she realized what he was talking about, and she couldn't help laughing. Once she calmed down, she said, "So you remembered the name of that one?"

"I knew it, but it was right on the tip of my tongue," Castle said.

Squeezing his arm, Beckett motioned him to her before he leaned over to her, and she cupped his chin. "Let me see," she told him, wondering what he'd say before he was replying to her demand.

Sticking his tongue out, Castle wondered what exactly his wife was going to do before he said, "Good?"

"Yes," Beckett said before her husband was leaning down to her and kissing her roughly. She reached up to him and gently cupped his cheek with her hand before they slowly parted and she said, "Thank you for backing that up," as he'd lightly delved his tongue into her mouth to rub at her own.

"I wanted to make sure you were sure," Castle replied. Smiling when she rolled her eyes before he said, "Let me check if it's alright down there."

"We'll both check," Beckett said firmly in amusement. She leaned over to him and kissed his cheek before they put their things back on and slipped into the water. Going underneath, she scanned what she could see through the water; luckily far since it was so clear; and couldn't spot the shark. When she and her husband were back up, she took the snorkel out of her mouth and said, "Let's go back?"

"Definitely," Castle said before he hurried underneath the water.

A little startled, Beckett went after him once she had her snorkel back in her mouth and swam with him until reaching where he was, going after what she recognized were Emperor Angelfish. She smiled inwardly, since she knew he loved those fish, and she swam a little further back to the reef they'd been at.

When the Angelfish were away from him Castle noticed his wife wasn't with him anymore and he hurried after her to the reef. He saw she was looking at an anemone where he spotted some clownfish peeking out. Tapping her shoulder, he gave her an okay symbol before she nodded, and they went back up. "Very nice," he said.

"I did like the Angelfish," Beckett told him. "But mind if we swim over this reef a little further out?"

"No way," Castle said. "And then what?"

"We'll figure that out," Beckett said. "But let me stop us, turn around and arc to the left before we head back."

"I'm following you," Castle said seriously. He smiled when his wife did before they were getting their snorkels and masks back on straight before swimming down again. They were going slowly, taking in all the fish and starfish before he noticed his wife was arcing as she had mentioned. He went after her before they were going straight again, swimming up a little quickly so they were side by side. When they were back up, they went straight to the hut before they were on the deck again and he said, "Nice, I can't even count how many fish there were."

"I know," Beckett said with a smile.

"They knew it was your birthday," Castle commented. He leaned over and kissed her gently on the cheek saying, "By the way, how's it been so far?"

"Good," Beckett said with a nod. "Though I do miss the girls."

"I'm not surprised," Castle said with a quick nod. He kissed her again and then said, "Now?"

Shaking her head as she was smirking at him, Beckett said, "Pervert."

"I am, but luckily you don't seem to mind," Castle said. "But," he said, holding his finger up to her. "I need some reassurance you're just joking later," watching his wife and soon becoming worried while she leaned over.

Getting a palm full of water in her hand, Beckett splashed her husband before he grabbed her and pulled her into water. As soon as they had resurfaced, she splashed him again and he was responding before they were laughing together and getting on the deck. "Still a nice birthday," she said reassuringly when her husband was opening his mouth to speak.

"Good," Castle said firmly. He grabbed her hand again and brought her close to him so they could share a sensuous kiss. "I wish we could go back in, but I need to get dinner for you," he told her when they eventually managed to part.

"I thought so," Beckett said. She brushed her lips against his and said, "Go take a shower."

"Sure," Castle said. He'd wanted to ask her to join him, but knew she'd tell him no, so he kissed her again and got up, taking their equipment they'd used with him to set on the main deck off the hut.

After her husband had gone, Beckett smiled to herself and recalled hers and Castle's lovemaking after they'd pleasured each other. They had done it three times in total; her husband jokingly saying that was their quota for each time they were together; and she could still feel him inside of her though it had been some time by then since the last. They had never used their book and she had begged him to let them ignore it for the rest of the trip and just use what positions they could think of spontaneously. He had agreed, and after they'd calmed down the last time they made love she had watched her husband walk around to his suitcase to put the book away there.

Biting at her lower lip for a moment, Beckett couldn't help recalling her husband and how he'd looked. Completely naked, still aroused and with his glasses on, she debated if she should still remember or stop before she went too far with that. But she was moving to get up and she tried to remember their conversation with their family. It didn't help though, and she went into the bedroom to distract herself getting her things before she was smiling at her husband as he walked out of the room. "All set?" she asked him.

"I am," Castle said, dressed in his trousers and dress shirt. "You can head out to the deck; I don't need any help."

"I'll stay out there," Beckett promised him. She shared a kiss with him before she was taking everything into the bathroom.

Watching her and reminding himself to ask her why her kiss had been intense, Castle turned to leave the room before he headed after his wife into the shower. He went to the kitchen and got out the fish along with everything else he'd bought in anticipation for his wife's dinner. As he proceeded with his cooking, he was focusing the best he could on what he was doing and not Beckett who seemed to be calling to him in the other room without saying a word.

Drying her hair, Beckett was looking in the mirror and reaching up to her neck. She smiled as her fingertips brushed against the mark her husband had left earlier that afternoon and she tried to go a little faster. Finally, she had her makeup on and walked to the door before slipping out onto the deck. "Hey," she said since her husband was there, setting a bottle of wine on the table he'd moved to the railing so they would have a better view of the ocean.

"Hey, you look amazing," Castle told her with a smile.

"You too," Beckett said, smiling herself since she'd worn the blue sundress before during their summer vacation in Ireland. "I forgot to tell you before."

"Thank you, but I'm not kidding," Castle said seriously as he moved to her.

Smiling, Beckett wrapped her arms around her husband's neck before they kissed passionately. She felt a thrill race through her, and she was holding onto him as tightly as she could before she heard the oven in the house. She wasn't surprised when her husband was letting her go, watching him running and immediately thinking of her husband earlier walking around their room. She had to hurry to shake herself of that, turning her attention to the bottle of wine and pouring out some in the glasses he'd put on the table too. She was sufficiently calm when she turned to her husband and said with a smile, "Did you make it?"

"Luckily I did," Castle replied with a quick nod. "Luckily."

"I got that," Beckett said with a laugh. "Come on," she told him.

With a hurried nod, Castle set down the plates he was holding and said, "I hope you like it."

"It looks delicious," Beckett said as her husband had prepared fish they'd bought before from the local seller and some breadfruit and vegetables they'd gotten at the produce stall on the way to the hut from Papeete. "Breadfruit?" she asked him.

Nodding Castle said, "I like the amount of spice that I used, but I don't know if you will."

Picking up her fork, Beckett quickly got a bite and smiled at her husband saying, "You didn't need to worry."

"Oh… I'm so relieved," Castle said as he was smiling slightly.

Beckett laughed and squeezed her husband's arm as he was leaning against the table. "Sit down Rick," she told him.

"Sure," Castle said sitting and getting his glass. "To you Kate, Happy Birthday."

"Thank you," Beckett replied. "Sláinte."

"Sláinte," Castle said before they were tapping their glasses together. After they'd started to eat; and his wife had complimented him on his cooking to his thanks; he asked, "Did you swim at all after I left?"

Shaking her head Beckett said, "I was just watching the water for a while."

"No dolphins?" Castle asked her.

"No, though that would have been nice to see," Beckett replied. She covered his hand with hers and said, "No Lemon Sharks either, but I'm sure one day we'll see them."

"Or one at least," Castle said. He wasn't surprised when his wife was laughing at that and when she stopped, he was about to ask her what she wanted to see the next time they snorkeled when she was asking him about the shark.

"Why are you so eager to see one? I thought those scared you?" Beckett said.

"I've looked at pictures and would love to see one in person," Castle replied. "And far away," he added.

Laughing again, for a moment, Beckett then said, "One day I'm sure we will." She watched him standing up before he was taking their plates and said, "I get the feeling tomorrow that's my job."

"We'll do it together," Castle replied. He smiled while she smirked at him and turned his attention to going inside to the kitchen. After he had the plates put aside, he went into the fridge and pulled out a box before taking out the cake inside. It was a small cake, enough for him and Beckett only, as he'd wanted her to have a cake that day. After he set in three candles, he lit them and headed back outside.

Hearing her husband singing, Beckett turned to him and smiled as it was Happy Birthday again. Watching him setting down the cake in front of her, she waited to blow out the candles until he was sitting down. After she had done that, she laughed and grabbed her husband's arm since he'd started to applaud. "Thank you love," she told him once she calmed down and he'd stopped.

"You're welcome, you deserved to hear it again," Castle replied as he stood back up to slice the cake in half. "And it's better than me throwing the cake in front of you saying here you go."

"Good point," Beckett said, smiling. She then said, "And I appreciated it. And Sunday when we did this with everyone else."

Nodding, since they'd had a dinner with their family and friends and had cupcakes to sing Happy Birthday to her, Castle said, "It works."

"And your sweet tooth must enjoy it," Beckett teased him, thanking him for her half of mango cake.

"It does," Castle replied.

"Why did you hesitate?" Beckett asked with a slight frown.

"I'm wondering which sweet tooth you're talking about," Castle said. He smiled when his wife covered her face with her hands and said, "Seriously, which?"

"Not the one concerning me," Beckett said, shaking her head though she couldn't help her smile. They started to eat then and after a while she said, "I'm wondering if I should have gotten mango."

Sucking in a breath of air, as he instantly recalled that had been the liquid she had eaten and used pleasuring him, Castle said, "To be fair we didn't know."

"No," Beckett said with a smile. When they had finished, she let him take the plates again and watched him return with two boxes. "How did you do that?" she asked with a smile.

"Careful preparation," Castle said. "And hours way back playing Tetris doesn't hurt either."

Laughing, Beckett turned her attention to the two boxes before she asked, "Which first?"

"The bigger one," Castle replied.

Since all her husband had done was tie a fabric ribbon around it, Beckett opened it before she took off the lid.

"It's not much," Castle said hurriedly. "But-"

Placing her hand on his chest Beckett said, "I love it. Though I'm getting the feeling you're thinking of me using it for something specifically and not just a tote."

Shaking his head, as it was from Tiffany's and a beige color with some blue on it, Castle said, "It's called a weekend tote and I thought we could just… head out for a drive once in a great while. Stay the night…"

Smiling at him being so nonchalant, Beckett reached for him and hugged him before kissing him lightly on the lips. "I can use it for overnights at the B&B."

"Or whatever you want," Castle said. "I just couldn't help thinking of that. Since I'm a pervert and everything."

"A little," Beckett said, leaning over and kissing him again. That time they lingered before she pulled away and her husband was gently sliding the smaller box over to her. "I'm opening it," she replied in amusement, tugging the ribbon open before she reached for the lid and paused. "It's beautiful," she told her husband quickly, taking out the bracelet. It was a simple chain bracelet in silver with a shamrock charm attached to it that led her to say, "I guess at some point I was bound to have a shamrock."

"Turn it around," Castle said gently. He smiled when his wife looked at him in surprise before she did so, and he watched her reaction before she was speaking.

"Thank you," Beckett said as etched across the back were the letters AP, JC, EJ and JM, their daughters' initials.

"I know you've wanted something with Alexis there as well so…" Castle began. He moved to kiss his wife and when they parted, he said, "Do you want me to put it on?"

"Not this second," Beckett said.

With a quick nod Castle said, "I had a feeling. I should have given it to you back at home, but I did want you to have more than just one gift to open today."

"Thank you," Beckett replied with a smile. "But once we leave for home, I'll have you help me."

"I'll be glad to do it," Castle said while he was standing to put everything away in the hut.

Beckett moved to stand at the railing while she waited for her husband to come back out to her, watching the water and smiling as she saw what she assumed was a fish or dolphin just splashing the water. She turned to her left when her husband was coming up next to her and said, "Everything's set?"

"I need to move the table, but I can do that tomorrow," Castle replied easily. He reached down to her hand and held it, studying her rings before he looked up at her saying, "Almost eight years."

"I know," Beckett said with a smile. She leaned over to him, and they shared a tender kiss before she said, "What brought that on?"

"I was thinking of Montgomery," Castle said seriously. "Well, to be clearer I was remembering how we were in Adare and then him and how he needed help for his thirtieth."

Smiling Beckett said, "It can be difficult."

"It could be," Castle said. "But I never thought of the traditional and modern gifts."

"The traditional doesn't go through every year," Beckett said.

"Which is likely why they made up the modern list to fill in," Castle said, smiling while she laughed briefly and then leaned against him for a moment. "But I was thinking of that number, thirty."

"And panicking?" Beckett asked.

"No," Castle said seriously. "Just thinking of remarrying you then."

"You like the idea that much?" Beckett asked though she was smiling at her husband.

"I do, I mean… I wish next year was our tenth anniversary," Castle said. "But until then I'll take whatever year it is."

Smiling again at his wording, Beckett pulled her husband to her before he was kissing her, and she wrapped her arms around him tightly before he slowly pulled away. "What're you doing?" she asked in surprise as her husband wasn't letting her go.

"Wait," Castle said, getting his phone from his pocket and starting some music.

"Coltrane," Beckett told him.

"Yeah," Castle replied, smiling at her. "Should I stop it."

"No," Beckett said simply before she was holding him while they proceeded to sway together. "It's a little bit of a tell you know," she eventually told him.

"Not really," Castle said. "I'm leaving everything up to you." He gently squeezed her when she pressed against him and told her, "Just the rest of tonight. Tomorrow it's fair game."

Beckett laughed softly at her husband, and she was pressing her cheek to his before she said, "We're not doing this for that long." She smiled when he obviously tensed next to her before she was about to speak, and he was agreeing with her readily.

"Good idea," Castle said seriously. He smiled when his wife laughed softly, and he pulled away before he kissed her deeply. They had stopped swaying at that point, and he was holding her by the small of her back before they were rubbing their tongues together. When they parted, he said, "What do you think?"

"It's impressive," Beckett said, bumping her hips deliberately against his.

Grunting, as it wasn't hard for her to miss his erection, Castle said, "I didn't mean that…" He breathed out heavily before he said, "I meant dancing… are we done?"

"Yes," Beckett said. She smiled when she heard him sighing in relief and said, "You really thought I wasn't going to comment on that?" as she raised her eyebrow.

"To be honest I thought you were, just to get that in before I could say it," Castle said. He embraced his wife as he held her and said, "Then let's go inside."

Beckett pulled him gently down to her before he was kissing her lightly and she let go of him so she could take his hand. Pulling him over to the bedroom she wrapped her arms around him again once they were next to the bed, holding onto him tightly before they were kissing. She felt a thrill race through her body as her husband was sensuous until they needed to breathe. After they'd parted, she said, "Could we do something right now?"

"Dance again?" Castle asked her.

"No," Beckett said before she murmured into his ear. She felt him tensing slightly before he immediately relaxed to her surprise. "You're okay with that?" she asked him when she pulled back to look at him.

"Why not," Castle said, trying to be nonchalant though it was difficult at what her request had been.

Squeezing him with her arms, Beckett let him go and waited for her husband to lay on the bed before she was following. She reached down to his shirt and after she'd tugged it from his trousers, she proceeded to unbutton it, smiling at him as he was running his hands up and down her sides. "Watch how much you do that," she said in amusement.

"Are you naked under this?" Castle asked eagerly.

"Yes," Beckett said slowly.

"Can I see?" Castle asked her hopefully as he pushed himself up.

Beckett rolled her eyes, before she raised her skirt slowly for him, letting him reach down to her mound and place his fingertips on her.

"Your skin is so fucking soft," Castle breathed out to her in awe.

Biting her lower lip as her husband was lightly caressing her, Beckett said, "I changed my mind. Your clothes need to come off now." She was momentarily startled when her husband was immediately getting up and she told him, "What happens when I want that and it's not my birthday."

"Oh, don't worry," Castle told her as his shirt, trousers and boxers were discarded quickly. "I'll do it."

Laughing softly Beckett said, "Why am I not surprised." She reached for him when he returned to her, and they kissed deeply for a while before they slowly parted. "Will you wait a little?" she asked.

"Do you want me to fuck you right now? Like this?" Castle said. He watched his wife thinking that over seriously and he leaned over to brush his lips over hers telling her, "I'll do whatever you want," he said.

"I want you to make me faint," Beckett said. "But I want to leave this on first."

Castle wasn't sure if he should be annoyed at his wife being vague, but pushed that aside as he said, "You're trying to have me decide what that first thing is." When she nodded, he said, "You're lucky it's your birthday," as he was smiling at the same time. He turned his attention to the side of the bed and pulled her after him before he sat, bringing her after him so she would get on him. While he was pulling her skirt up, she was grabbing his erection and he could hear they were both breathing rapidly while she soon lowered herself on him.

Feeling her husband holding tightly to the small of her back, Beckett sighed once her hips were against his. "Let go of it Rick," she told him. She smiled for a moment when he let go of her skirt and it draped over their lap, hiding them. "This is okay?"

"Yes, it's fucking hot," Castle said seriously so he could convey he wanted her to move. He was relieved when his wife wasn't delaying, starting to push herself up and down on him before he stopped her by holding onto her hips. It was a shock though she hadn't been moving for that long, and he wasn't surprised when she was speaking immediately in slight annoyance.

"What're you doing?" Beckett asked.

"I don't want to come like this," Castle said. "I can take your dress off, make you faint when you come and then we can go all around the bed or room."

"Sampla?" Beckett asked with a smile.

"Definitely," Castle replied. He was smiling then when she laughed, and he leaned over to kiss her. While they were letting their tongues dance together, he was reaching up to her breasts, beginning to fondle at the mounds before he was slowly pulling away as she was grabbing his arms. "Stop?" he asked.

"Yes, so we can continue," Beckett said. She was relieved when her husband nodded in obvious understanding and proceeded to move on him again. She loved how he was holding her tightly to him, but she couldn't help becoming annoyed with her sundress since it was keeping her from rubbing her clit against him. She wasn't sure how much longer she was doing that, but finally she'd had enough and stopped, getting off him. "Help me," she urged him.

Castle jumped up from the bed as fast as he could, and he unzipped her sundress before helping her out of it. He took the dress so he could drape it across the top of the dresser and hurried back to his wife as she was reaching for him. He kissed her hungrily once he was on the bed, holding her close and cupping the back of her head before they were slowly parting a little later. "Let's start?" he asked her.

"Please," Beckett breathed though she was leaning into him for another kiss. Though she was greatly aware her husband had been intending to begin, she couldn't resist him as they were playfully fighting each other with their tongues yet again. When they stopped finally, she was relieved when they parted, and she moved to lay down on her arms and knees as her husband held her by her hip though he didn't need to help her. "We have to finish quickly," she said when she glanced back at him.

Nodding, Castle leaned over and kissed the back of his wife's shoulder telling her, "I thought so, but we have to work each other up after."

"I think we can do that," Beckett replied. "Hurry, please," she begged him. She wasn't surprised when her husband kissed hard at her shoulder before he moved behind her, and she braced herself before she gasped as the very tip of his length was sliding into her. After a brief pause, her husband was ramming into her, and she let out a cry since she was heavily aroused. Loving how smoothly he'd moved; she was ready for his thrusts, and she was gasping as he was brushing against her g-spot already. She tried to angle her hips up to him and was telling him, "I can feel you so… deep! I don't want to stop feeling your cock in me!"

"You won't," Castle replied, moving as hard as he could so he could push her faster. He wasn't surprised when her rhythm against him faltered after a short amount of time, and he groaned her name as the friction was rough.

"Oh… please… keep fucking me tonight," Beckett was gasping out to her husband as she did her best to turn her head back to him. She felt him moving, seeing him sitting up and holding onto her hips. She wanted to tell him not to keep so far from her, and he was thrusting a little harder down into her. He was against her g-spot, and she felt her sex contract around him for a moment before she was orgasming. She tried to call out to her husband, tried to let him know how her body was literally throbbing in ecstasy but she could only cry out his name a few times before she felt overwhelmed.

Castle was moving quickly as soon as his wife was still in front of him, and he watched her closely making sure she was breathing alright. He lightly kissed the side of her head and said, "I hope you were serious," before he reached down and cupped her sex gently. They had spoken of him enjoying doing that when she passed out and his wife had insisted he do that without any guilt since all he did was touch her. He did his best to hold onto his self-control while her sex was spasming and he could feel it easily before it slowed down. When it stopped, he nuzzled the side of her head with his lips, waiting for her to stir which she did shortly after. He was going to make sure she was okay when she was reaching up to brush her fingers to his cheek and speaking with a smile on her face.

"You feel a little guilty, don't you?" Beckett asked him.

"Slightly," Castle said. "But you enjoyed that."

"Of course," Beckett said, smiling again at him not making that a question. She gently pulled his arm away and said once she turned to him, "But you?"

Castle didn't say a word, instead he reached for his wife and pulled her on top of him while he remained flat on his back. He helped her grabbing his erection and he held her hips while she lowered her body on him. He was groaning heavily and nearly cursing at the sensation of her sliding down until their hips were meeting. "Wait, what about you?" he asked.

Clenching her sex around him, Beckett had been about to reply to him when he was reaching up and began to rub at her clit. She gasped and started to roll her hips around him before he was stopping her. "Rick," she said.

Shaking his head, Castle said, "I'm not going to come on my own."

"I did," Beckett pointed out. She tried not to sigh in frustration when her husband merely began rubbing at her clit again, but she couldn't do it. She was gasping as he was beginning to arouse her, and she reached down to his arms since his other hand was holding her by her hip. "Oh… Rick, I think that was enough," she moaned after she was trying to move again with him stopping her.

Since he was able to tell by her tone that she was serious, Castle let her go and groaned as she cried out while she was rolling her hips again. He was holding them with both hands, looking on while she was switching to bouncing a little on him and he did his best to move along with her. After they had been doing that for several minutes, he tried to stop his wife since he knew he was going to climax, but she was taking his hands and holding onto them tightly. He did his best to warn her, but she was continuing, and he found he couldn't speak. He struggled to do so still, but it wasn't until just before he started to that he could talk. "Kate… I'm… coming… love!" he tried not to shout as the pleasure was intense immediately.

A little behind her husband in that, Beckett could feel his release in her, filling her before the tight coil between her legs finally broke. She called her husband's name but found that was all she could say as the pleasure was too great. She had to eventually lean over onto Castle's chest, using that for leverage as she was doing her best to continue moving though she couldn't help the fact that her body was exhausted. A little annoyed her body could only feebly thrust eventually, she stopped and said, "Next time we come you're on top."

"And you're first," Castle said. When his wife gave him a look he said hurriedly, "Not for that reason, I just enjoy feeling you."

"I know," Beckett said before she carefully moved off him. She gasped when her husband was suddenly laying her flat on her back and she playfully pushed him away when he began to kiss around her breasts. She managed to grab him and turn him onto his back, and they proceeded to wrestle around the bed before she had him underneath her. "Now we have a problem," she told him.

"Which is?" Castle asked her.

Beckett took a moment to reply to that, because he was sliding his hands to cup her ass before squeezing it lightly. She recovered before she said, "I'm on top again."

"You did mention a sampla," Castle replied, sliding his hands again. That time he went up to the small of her back before moving them to her sides before the heels of his palms were brushing against her breasts. He wasn't surprised when she wasn't responding to him at first, instead feeling what he was doing before she did speak as soon as he'd stopped.

"I did, but I didn't mean you were supposed to stay below me," Beckett told him.

"Okay," Castle said before he was hurrying to get up. He followed her as his wife was moving to lay on his side of the bed and he saw her left foot lowering to the floor. Aware of the position she wanted doing that, he lay on top of her slightly before kissing her lovingly on the lips. When they parted at the same time he said, "You can't be ready yet."

"I could be," Beckett said quickly. "If you're aware of what I need," she added. She wasn't surprised when he was kissing her hungrily at that and she moved to respond to him the best she could. When they parted, she'd been about to speak when her husband was suddenly beginning to rub at her clit. She looked down at his hand, though that was all she could see, and wasn't surprised when he moved to start nuzzling at her lips before he was speaking.

"Move with my hand a little love," Castle told his wife. He watched her doing that immediately and continued for a little longer until she was reaching down and gripping his hand tightly. As soon as she had done that, he moved with her help to enter her, ramming into her as hard as he could before he paused to make sure she was fully ready for him. When her right leg wrapped around him, he proceeded to thrust as fast he could. With her extra leverage, he felt her beginning to move with him and he groaned deeply as their hips were slapping together roughly. He did his best to speed up but found he couldn't push his body faster. But looking at his wife intently, he got the feeling she didn't really need more than that. With her holding onto his shoulder tightly, he said, "You're… fucking tight love."

"We have to stop," Beckett gasped out to him. She was disappointed when he did but knew they needed to switch before he was pulling away from her. Going to the middle of the bed she watched him sitting up in the middle before he grabbed for her. She wrapped her arms around him, and they were kissing deeply before they were slowly pulling away and she said, "Do you know what I want to do?"

"I have an idea," Castle said. After she kissed him swiftly, he then said, "Should I lay down?"

Nodding, Beckett smiled when he was quick to lay back and she moved to get on top of him before she was crossing her legs on his chest. "I want to flip this," she said.

"I thought you would," Castle said, rubbing her legs gently. When she was rocking on him, he groaned since she was doing her best to go as fast as she could. He knew that position wasn't going to last long and was aware that was his wife's intention, though he hoped they would have a little longer together before he cursed when she was moving off him and to her side. "Kate," he said, going after her hurriedly. "Do we need to do that now?"

"No," Beckett replied, pulling her husband onto her. She was holding onto him tightly when they coupled again, and she placed her feet flat on the bed, moving along with him until they there switching again. She had no idea how many times they were doing that, holding onto each other and kissing when they could. Her orgasm was intense when it struck her, nearly startled when her husband was joining her shortly after and she was arching her back as the sensation was almost touching off a second climax. She was a little lost until she could feel herself calming down slowly, taking in the feeling of her husband still thrusting. Holding him tightly to her, she caressed the back of his head and continued to do so before he was jerking against her roughly once.

"We're going to have to do that over again," Castle said to his wife. "We didn't take long enough."

"Strange to say that first thing love," Beckett said in amusement, moving to kiss him. When they parted, she said, "But I think we took long enough."

"Are we arguing?" Castle asked.

Beckett, smiling, told him, "We might be."

"Then we better stop," Castle said a little absently while he was gently running his fingers through her hair. "Or would you like to keep going?"

"Maybe you can convince me we didn't take enough time with it," Beckett said.

"I don't know if recreating things will work," Castle said. He leaned down to his wife and lightly kissed her saying, "We have to start all over again."

Smirking, Beckett pulled him back to her so they could kiss again and once they'd parted, she said, "I love you, Rick."

"I love you too Kate," Castle said seriously. "Happy Birthday."

Beckett's thanks to Castle for that was to pull him to her for another kiss which led to them beginning to move together slowly. Their joking about their argument was forgotten while they began arousing one another to start again. While they were moving, she felt a thrill pass through her in knowing there was a little more of her birthday left to spend it in her intimacy with her husband and she focused on him eagerly as the night continued pleasurably between them.
