Opening her container, Beckett smiled to herself at the fish and chips before she looked at her husband's to find the same there. "Who's giving Josie some?" she asked him teasingly while he was looking at hers.

"I think it's you love," Castle said before he squeezed her hand, and they began to eat. Watching her cut up some of her second breaded fish he gave the baby some fries and dipped his fish into his sauce.

"Like your food?" Julia asked her little sister since she was sitting across the table from her.

"Yeah," Eliza said with a smile since their grandfather had just finished cutting her bangers for her. "You?"

"Of course," Julia said, nodding since she had the same dish. Most of them did and she turned to Peter next to her saying, "Good?"

"Yeah, I know I didn't go there as much as you, but these are great sausages," the teen replied. "Sauce too," he added while he was dipping one piece of sausage into it.

Julia turned her attention to Paul and Nancy, who both had veggie tikka masala, and then looked down at her plate to get some mashed potatoes and peas to eat eagerly. She eventually began talking with the other kids, not surprised the older McDouglas twins were asking about the pool room before they were finishing the meal.

"I'm stuffed," Mary said jokingly to her wife.

"I'm not surprised," Skye replied, her wife having gotten the Cornish Pastie. She closed her container with her fish and chips remnants in it and said to the others, "You don't have to all help us clean up; all we ask is that you take your containers."

"What're we doing now Mummy?" Fleur asked.

"We'll see once everything is set," Skye said, standing up.

"If you're asking about dessert too wait," Mary added. "We'll exercise a little before that."

"Does that mean I can make my request?" Ivy asked eagerly.

"Yes, when we're finished," Skye said before they proceeded to take all the containers to the kitchen.

"Come and dance with me Josa," Julia said, taking her baby sister's hand once she was out of the highchair. Leading her to the living room, where she had guessed they'd be going, she danced randomly with her before Paul was calling to them.

"Do you want me to sing something for you two?" the singer asked with a smile.

"That's okay," Julia said. "You can rest."

"But-" Paul started to say before a hand on his shoulder made him stop. Looking up, he saw it was the girls' mother and smiled before he said, "I suppose I should."

Leaning down slightly Beckett murmured to him, "If you want to ask them I would in a little, they might be full."

"How…" Paul said before he trailed off and smiled again, nodding to her before he turned back to watch the kids dancing around together.

"Wait," Julia said when she stopped. "Why are you copying us?"

"Because it's fun," Kathleen said, crying out playfully when Julia pretended to go after her.

"Take it easy you two," Skye said in a mock warning tone, she and Mary walking in from the kitchen. "Everyone's good though? Drinks?"

"Dessert?" Fleur asked hopefully.

"Not yet," Mary told her firmly. She and Skye sat down on some chairs and she asked, "Did anyone want us to play again."

Smiling at Beckett nodding slightly to him, Paul said, "I actually have a request. But not for you two."

"No?" Marie asked in surprise, looking at her mothers who appeared to be startled as well.

"For you two," Paul said, turning to Julia and Peter.

"You want us to dance something?" the former asked.

Nodding Paul told them, "To one of my songs."

"Alright," Julia said swiftly. "Are you going to sing it?"

"If I don't sing, you won't?" Paul asked. When both teens shook their heads, he laughed and said, "Then I will. I'm sure you know it, but I'll Give You A Ring."

"We do," Peter said first before he was looking pointedly at his partner.

"I told Ms. Grey about it," Julia explained. "And a couple competitions ago we were going to use it, but she wasn't happy with her choreography."

"I told you to tell her the steps you had," Peter said.

"You had steps?" Castle asked his daughter in surprise.

Feeling her cheeks flushing, Julia nodded before saying, "I don't feel that comfortable; she's the teacher!"

"But you're the dancer," Aaron commented.

"Yeah, you couldn't make suggestions?" Billy then asked.

"I have a little bit," Julia replied. She then turned to Peter, to change the subject, and asked him, "Want to try it with our steps?"

"Yours," Peter said immediately while he was nodding. He laughed when she playfully pushed at him before he said, "Okay," looking with his partner at Paul.

Beckett felt her husband's arm wrap around her shoulders while the singer began once Mary had the music for him on the phone and leaned slightly against him. She smiled at the pair's Foxtrot, not surprised her daughter had thought up steps to that one. Though she had Josie on her lap she was applauding as soon as the song and dance were finished, smiling at the two while they bowed playfully. "Now you can make your request," she commented, looking at Ivy who immediately began to blush.

"You could tell?" the little girl asked.

"I heard you earlier," Beckett replied.

Turning to her mothers, Ivy rushed to Skye and threw her arms around her before she said, "Would you play a song for me?"

"Of course," the investigator said, hugging her second youngest. "Which one?"

"Which is it?" Eliza asked, leaning against her father's legs.

"Wait," Castle said, gently squeezing her shoulder.

"No, it's alright, we'll sing it now," Skye said. "Rocking Chair in Hawaii."

"I think it's a hint to us," Mary said wryly.

"You haven't taken them?" Castle asked.

"Haven't… oh you meant Marie and Kath," Skye began before she realized what he'd meant. "No, we never did that… should since we've gone ourselves; surfing."

"Now I want to go," Aaron said, not surprised when the others laughed.

"Go ahead, it's fun," Castle said before they were starting to laugh again, Mary playfully scolding them when they'd calmed down again.

"Okay, if you guys want us to sing then you better take it easy," the doctor said.

"Are you playing or is it on the phone again?" Zak asked.

"Phone, it's just easier that way," Skye replied, watching her wife.

"Got it," Mary said.

Beckett smiled at Skye merely gesturing to her wife before she began the song, and the intro was playing. She leaned a little against her husband again since he was still holding onto her, and they listened to the pair while they were singing together.

I'm going down to the river
Going to take me my rocking chair
Going down to the river
Going to take me my rocking chair
And if those blues don't leave me
Going to rock on away from here

If you want me woman
Please don't act so shy
And if you want me woman
Please don't pass me by
I love those sideways glances
Your shoulder and your thigh

I see inside your eyes
The Baba's Sai
The reasons why I love you

So if you're still busy hiding
What it is you've got
And if you're frightened of losing
What you like a lot
You may be cruising backwards
While thinking that you're not

I see inside your eyes
The Baba's Sai
The reasons why I love you

So if you don't get the picture
You won't know what I feel
If you don't get the picture
Then you won't have a depth of field
You may be going someplace
Some place you've already been

"Can I ask you something grá?"

"Yes," Skye said, turning to her wife in surprise.

"Oh, don't stop," Mary told her.

"Mary," Skye said firmly, removing her hands from the buttons of her blouse.

"What were you talking to Rick about?" Mary said.

"Next spring break," Skye replied.

"Hawaii?" Mary inquired.

Shaking her head Skye said, "I thought he would, but he's tempted to take his family on a cruise."

"Disney?" Mary said.

Laughing softly Skye said, "I guessed the same when he told me, but yes he wants to try a Disney cruise."

"I'm in," Mary told her.

"I said the same and let him decide," Skye replied. "But did tell him to let us have a look at the itinerary once he found one."

"Think he'll tell Kate?" Mary asked, walking over to her wife.

"He will, I insisted he do that since she should have some say in their vacation," Skye commented. "And he agreed so I'm assuming he'll do that now." She then said, "But besides that, what are you doing?"

"Helping you," Mary replied firmly, reaching for the buttons of her blouse. She was undoing them and while she did told her wife, "Thank you for not going tomorrow morning."

"You're welcome," Skye said, taking her wife's hands when she finished. "And now I see why you said that."

"Does that bother you?" Mary asked her teasingly.

"No but we were going to sleep," Skye reminded her since her wife had insisted on that because they were tired after the past few days.

"We will, I just want to ask you about tomorrow night," Mary said.

Leaning over, Skye gently brushed her lips to her wife's before she said, "If we sleep now…"

"I know, I know," Mary said, playfully pretending to push her wife away.

"What's wrong?" Skye asked her.

Shaking her head Mary said, "I wanted to," not surprised at the look on her wife's face at the way she'd spoken before the investigator was talking herself.

"You seem to be more than a little eager," Skye said, reaching over and gently cupping her wife's cheek.

"I can't help it," Mary replied, leaning into her.

Aware her wife was going to make that intense, Skye began their kiss to carefully guide her wife before they were parting, and she pressed her forehead against hers. "Grá," she said gently when her wife slid her hands underneath her blouse, holding her by her sides. After they'd kissed gently again, she told her, "You need to let go of me."

"I don't want to," Mary said before she sighed. Kissing her wife firmly but briefly, she pulled back and told her, "Promise me?"

"Of course," Skye said with a smile. "Because I'll need it myself." They kissed gently before they were turning their attention to getting changed and while she was waiting for Mary to finish, she told her, "You know what that reminds me of?"

"No," the doctor said, turning to her.

"After I came home the first time from an investigation," Skye said. "And you were living here."

"I remember," Mary said with a smile. She stepped up to her wife and gently brushed her lips to her wife's and told her, "But don't keep thinking that or else we'll anticipate tomorrow night."

"Are we switching?" Skye asked, letting her wife lead her out to their bed.

"Yes, but really grá, you're not tired?" Mary said once they were climbing under the sheet and blanket.

"I am," Skye replied simply though she tried to reach for her wife. She wasn't surprised when Mary stopped her, brushing her lips to hers before she was speaking to her in a mock scolding tone of voice.

"Enough Skye," Mary said, smiling shortly after that. They kissed again and turned the lamps off on their nightstands before laying down. Holding her wife to her she murmured against her hair, "You're still remembering."

"I can't help it," Skye replied.

"Good," Mary said.

Smiling at her wife; though she wasn't sure if she would see it; Skye said, "But if I keep thinking of that night…"

"I trust you," Mary said immediately.

"I love you," Skye said in a rush.

"I love you too Rose," Mary replied before they were gently kissing.

After settling back down, Skye closed her eyes though while she was falling asleep, she couldn't help recalling that evening. Two weeks after Mary had moved in on a Saturday, they had learned together what to do with her coming off an investigation.

"Skye," Mary said with a smile at her girlfriend. "Welcome home."

"I'm so glad to be back," the investigator replied. They embraced tightly and Skye said, "Everything okay?"

"Yeah, everything was fine," Mary said.

"Why do you not sound sure?" Skye asked when they'd let each other go.

"You weren't here," Mary said firmly. "And it's corny but-" she began to add before her girlfriend was cutting her off with a kiss. Responding rapidly, they were clutching at each other again until she remembered Skye still had her suitcase next to them. "Wait," she breathed when the investigator was kissing at her jaw. "You should change, unpack, dinner's almost ready."

"Do I need to," Skye asked, squeezing at her girlfriend's back.

"Yeah, you should have something to eat before we go to bed," Mary said. When the investigator pulled back to stare at her she smiled and told her, "If you want to."

"I do, let me change and throw my clothes into the hamper in our room," Skye replied. She took her suitcase before she headed up the stairs, unaware her girlfriend was shaking her head at her bag on the kitchen table.

"Open and everything," Mary murmured before she zipped the bag and took it to the investigator's office. She smiled and corrected herself it was theirs before setting it on Skye's desk. Hurrying back to the kitchen she made sure dinner was keeping warm before she heard the investigator making her way downstairs.

"Hey… where's my bag?" Skye asked with a frown, startled when her girlfriend suddenly appeared to be panicked.

"I put it in your office… that didn't have non-work stuff in it did it?" Mary asked.

"No, I need to put that away in my safe; I have the paperwork," Skye said.

Mary was about to ask if she needed to go into work the next day, but the investigator was walking away rapidly. She sighed and then turned to getting their dinner out before onto two plates with the tropical smoothies she'd made next to them. As soon as Skye was back, she was about to speak when her girlfriend was doing so first while she stepped up to her.

"Thank you for that, I need to leave it in my safe for Monday," Skye said. She gasped out slightly at the doctor's sudden embrace and asked, "What's that for?"

"Answering my question," Mary said. "Come and eat."

Though she wanted to ask her what she'd meant, Skye went after her to the island and said, "Pasties?"

"Empanadas," Mary corrected her, squeezing her hand. "Hamburger ones so I'm doing a fusion."

"They look great," Skye said after she'd laughed softly. Sitting together at the kitchen table she then said, "What question?"

Pausing for a moment, Mary was confused before she realized what the investigator had meant. Smiling she told her, "I wanted to know if you were going to go into the office tomorrow."

"Where did you want to go?" Skye asked with a returning smile.

"Nowhere," Mary said, watching her girlfriend rush to set her smoothie glass down.

"Oh so… swimming," Skye said a little hoarsely.

"No," Mary replied. "Unless you'd want to."

Trembling inwardly at her girlfriend's voice, Skye said, "No, I think we can stay in. But…" When Mary's eyebrow rose at that she breathed out and said, "Sorry, I want to I'm just suddenly eager and I felt a rush of adrenaline."

"Are you okay?" Mary said while she was studying her girlfriend's face.

"Yes, it was a little difficult though," Skye replied, turning back to her dish. "Fatalities."

"Tell me," Mary murmured, taking her hand.

"Not while we eat," Skye replied, shaking her head. "Let's eat," she said before they returned to their food.

Sensing her girlfriend's willingness to talk, Mary hurried to clean up once they'd finished and moved to join her on the family room couch. "I tried to keep an eye on the news about the crash," she said once they were looking at each other.

"There were three survivors," Skye began with. "I went in to see all of them but the one that passed away from her injuries never regained consciousness."

"Rose," Mary said gently. "Did she look like me?" gently squeezing her girlfriend's hand as the investigator nodded.

"Her hair color, the shape of her face," Skye replied. She let the doctor embrace her and said, "It was difficult but… I had your phone calls."

"It's why I insisted on them," Mary said. Pulling back, she studied her and then leaned over, kissing her lightly on the lips. "You-" she then started to say before Skye was grabbing her hard and kissing her the same way. She could sense her girlfriend's need and let that happen before they needed to breathe. "Then you're alright?" she asked gently.

"Now I am," Skye said firmly. They were kissing again, gentler that time, before they pulled away and she said, "Come on," not surprised they were standing up at the same time. She let Mary lead her a little until they were inside their bedroom, and she smiled to herself before her girlfriend was speaking to her tenderly.

"Feeling better?" Mary asked.

"I am," Skye said, startled when her girlfriend was taking her hand again after closing the door. She wanted to ask what they were doing when Mary led her into the bathroom and helped her undress. "You don't have to," she murmured.

"I want to, if you let me join you," Mary said.

"I want you to," Skye said firmly. They were kissing then and after they'd slowly parted, she said, "Let me help you," not surprised she was nodding before they were getting her undressed. With Mary naked they went into the shower to rinse off rapidly before she waited for her girlfriend to fill the tub. Inside she allowed herself to relax, firmly held by the doctor before the water was getting lukewarm.

"I hope that didn't backfire on me," Mary was saying after she'd stepped out of the tub and turned back to find her girlfriend was leaning back with her eyes closed.

"No, just enjoying the scent of you on me," Skye replied. She opened her eyes and smiled at Mary before she got up and was letting her girlfriend dry her off. Gasping and moaning at each touch she said, "I'll come before we're even on the bed."

"No you won't," Mary said firmly, finishing and letting the investigator take the towel. Watching her wrapping it around her body, she sighed and turned her attention to getting her towel before she felt arms wrapping around her from behind. "Skye?" she asked in surprise.

"Yes?" the investigator asked simply, licking some of the water still on her girlfriend's shoulder.

Shuddering Mary took a moment to respond before she said, "Let me get a towel… we'll get the bed all wet."

Pulling away, Skye felt a rush of accomplishment when her girlfriend turned back to her and said, "You enjoyed that?"

"Mmm-hmm," Mary said, not able to tell the investigator more than that since Skye had begun drying her off. She eventually noticed; when Skye was nearly finished; that she was using her hands to touch her where the towel had already dried her. "Oh, here," she said when she was sure she was dry enough. Taking the towel, she tossed it aside to the sinks before Skye was doing the same. "You may be hesitant but you're incredible," she said, pressing her body as close to her girlfriend's as she could.

"Let me prove that," Skye said, feeling her cheeks were heated but a thrill pass though her body at the same time. They went to their bed and once Mary was laying back she was following, kissing her and touching her where she could. They were dueling hungrily together until they were parting breathlessly, and she murmured to her, "Totemo amai, watashi wa anata o ajiwaitai."

"Japanese?" Mary asked, surprised her voice was as steady as it was. When her girlfriend nodded, she asked, "What does it mean?"

Smiling, since the doctor understood the language a little but wasn't fluent yet, Skye said, "So sweet, I want to taste you."

Biting at the side of her mouth on the inside for a moment, Mary said, "Please."

Skye moved, kissing her girlfriend deeply before their tongues were meeting in the doctor's mouth. At the same time, she was reaching down with her left hand, gliding her thumb along the side of Mary's breast before the doctor was gasping and ending the kiss. "Stop?" she asked. She wasn't surprised when she got a firm shake of the head and moved to kiss around her neck before she moved lower. Taking her girlfriend's right breast with her mouth, she shortly after felt her fingers tangling into her hair while she gasped out at the same time.

"Oh Skye… please don't take too much longer," Mary was moaning. She was startled when her girlfriend didn't and was soon pulling away and leaving her literally breathless at the raw desire in her eyes. "You're gorgeous," she breathed, drawing her up to her lips though Skye was moving readily. They kissed deeply and after they'd parted, she was about to speak when her girlfriend was moving down her body again.

Hearing Mary's cry of joy when she eventually reached her sex, Skye did her best not to rush and she was gently kissing at her clit. Doing that only twice she was lightly sucking at her and moving her fingers flat to rub along her folds before she pulled away. Kissing the slick folds, she was feeling pleasure rising in her, leading her to delve her tongue shortly afterward within her girlfriend. Stimulating her eagerly she relished the taste, knowing it was because of her, and not stopping or faltering until Mary was orgasming and crying out her name in complete ecstasy. Staying there a little longer once her girlfriend had stopped trying to move, she licked her delicately until she was finished, moving with the anticipation of laying with the doctor and holding her tightly before she was suddenly being moved.

"Your turn," Mary said with a smile, seeing the startled look on her girlfriend's face before she was kissing her deeply. She didn't let that linger, eager to have her turn which she was continuing by drifting down to Skye's breasts. While she was suckling gently at each in turn, she ran her hands over the investigator's body until she pulled back and gently kissed her down to her sex. Feeling Skye trembling at her lips brushing to her clit she paused for a moment to relish the sensation of how rigid the nub was. Moving back to her, she was sucking her girlfriend's clit before lightly teasing her entrance with her fingertips.

"Oh… Mary… please," Skye was moaning, trying not to move too much though it was a struggle.

"Don't worry," Mary said with a smile. She grew serious hearing her girlfriend's pants for air before she was descending to her sex. Delving her tongue into Skye she was gratified immediately hearing the investigator's cry of her name and proceeded to moved eagerly until she was climaxing. Feeling her girlfriend reaching for her once she pulled away from lapping gently at her sex and folds, she moved to lay with her, and they wrapped their arms around each other tightly.

"I hate to say it, but I needed that," Skye commented.

"Don't worry, I did too," Mary said, kissing her lips. They soon pressed against each other harder, and she soon moved so she was above Skye again. Moving her legs enough, she felt their sexes pressed against each other and gently shifted before the investigator cried out and grasped her by her hips.

"Mary! Oh please, please do that again," Skye begged her. When her girlfriend was swift to comply, she couldn't help exclaiming, gripping her tighter at the same time and beginning to move with her.

"Good," Mary breathed to her. "You like this, Skye?" At her girlfriend's nod she said, "You're so wet."

"So are you," Skye said, biting at her index finger for a moment. She moved her hand back to hold onto the bed underneath her before Mary was moving faster. She raced to do the same before they were rocking wildly against each other, and she had her arm wrapped around her waist. They nearly exploded in their orgasms at the same time until they were still, and she was holding her girlfriend on top of her.

"Hmm, Skye," Mary said once she had shaken herself and was kissing her. After pulling away she was about to move when the investigator stopped her and she said, "No?"

"Not yet," Skye replied, beginning to caress her hair. "Keep it this length," she whispered eventually.

"I will, I prefer it," Mary replied before she turned her head and let the locks drape over her girlfriend's shoulder. "Good?"

"Yes," Skye said with a laugh, soon letting her go. They lay on their sides, looking at one another and she murmured, "Are you tired?"

"Not really," Mary said. "But more importantly, are you?"

"No," Skye said firmly. When her girlfriend looked at her in surprise before she began to laugh, she moved to get on top of her and they were shortly after kissing again, deeply. She began touching Mary gently, allowing her to do the same to her and they were making love together eagerly.

"Are you okay?" Beckett asked, watching her husband get on the bed.

"Yeah," Castle replied. "Why?"

"Nothing," Beckett told him. When he looked at her in confusion she laughed softly and brushed her lips to his. "I'm trying to find a way to ask you what you were talking to Skye about," she then explained to him.

"Fair enough," Castle said with a nod. "And she was asking me about our plans for our next spring break."

"What did you tell her?" Beckett asked.

"That if they wanted to go, I needed to know when her girls would be off and it turns out we got really lucky again," Castle said.

"And we're going back to Hawaii?" Beckett asked.

Smiling Castle said, "She said the same, but I think I'd like us to head on a cruise… a Disney Cruise." He waited for her response before she was nodding and he said, "Just like that?"

"We have been talking about it," Beckett reminded him. She squeezed his hand before telling him, "And I think Josie will be old enough; I'm sure there are two-year-olds on those cruises," not surprised at her husband's immediate reaction.

"Most likely," Castle said. He studied her and then asked, "Want to look with me?"

"Why don't you go ahead and do that and show me what you find?" Beckett suggested.

"You don't mind?" Castle asked in slight surprise.

"It's worked before," Beckett commented. She smiled when he pretended to think that over before nodding and she leaned over, brushing her lips to his. When he wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly to him, she was responding in turn. After they'd parted, she caressed his face and told him, "We need to sleep."

"I was afraid you'd say that," Castle said. He kissed her again before slowly pulling away telling her, "I love you, Kate."

"I love you too Rick," Beckett said with a smile before she watched him take off his glasses. She turned off her lamp before she laid down and watched her husband in the dark once he'd turned off his light. "Are you going to sleep?" she asked him teasingly when he pulled her against his side.

"That depends on you," Castle said.

Beckett lightly pinched him, not surprised when he was laughing before she said, "That reminds me of something you said when we were still dating."

Castle thought over that for a moment before he said, "Yeah, I remember." Kissing her again he said, "Though I think we both ended up keeping ourselves from sleep that night."

"It was a nice day before though," Beckett said.

"I surprised you right?" Castle asked.

Rolling her eyes, though she wasn't sure if her husband would see that, Beckett said, "I told you then, you did."

"Mad at me?" Castle then said. He laughed when his wife was pinching him again and he wrapped his arms around her tightly before they kissed. He couldn't help lingering a little longer than he knew he should have but when he pulled away from her, he asked, "We have to sleep don't we?"

"We should," Beckett replied, smiling when he sounded disappointed. She brushed her lips to his and then said, "Night love," pressing closer to him after he told her the same. While she was trying to fall asleep, Castle holding her a little tighter, she couldn't help recalling the day they'd been talking about, nearly six months into their relationship when her then boyfriend had surprised her at her apartment.

Setting her glass down, Beckett was about to reach for her fridge door handle before a knock on the door stopped her. Hurrying to it she looked out and after opening the door said, "You didn't call," before there was a swift reply.

"Oh, well if you want me to go then I will…" Castle said, turning jokingly.

"No, come inside," Beckett said easily.

"You didn't believe me?" Castle asked.

"Not with that bag," Beckett replied. She closed and locked the door before turning to him and finding herself in her boyfriend's arms. She responded to him eagerly as she'd been busy the day before with paperwork for their last case. After they'd stopped, she tried to focus and recalled what he'd been holding. "So… the paper bag?" she managed to say.

"Katz's," Castle said simply.

"Smells good," Beckett said with a smile. "Would you want to eat now? It's a little early but I think we can-" she started to say before he was kissing her suddenly again. She moaned when he soon after moved to her neck, kissing at her pulse before he went to her lips again. She responded to him eagerly before she was startled when he suddenly broke off their kiss before he was speaking a little breathlessly.

"Lunch can wait," Castle told her before her took her hand though he hadn't wanted to let her go. Setting their lunch on the counter, he pulled Beckett with him though she was following him willingly.

Wrapping her arms around her boyfriend as soon as he turned to her, Beckett was kissing him while he gathered her up in his arms. Their tongues meeting shortly after that, she clutched at him before he was reaching for the bottom of her shirt. She wasn't sure how they were able to undress so quickly but she was soon shoving the covers on her bed out of the way. Laying back, she was reaching for Castle once he followed her, and they were kissing almost desperately.

Pulling back first, Castle was moving around her neck before trying not to literally attack her breasts. But he soon reached the mounds, and he was kissing around before he allowed himself to take her left nipple. Suckling at her, he felt her fingers stroking through his hair and couldn't help himself shuddering against her. Doing his best to focus, he soon moved to her other mound and was sucking at it until he was moving so he could look into her eyes. He nearly asked her what she wanted, but her legs were wrapping around his waist, and he watched her gently guiding his length to her sex.

Crying out in joy while her boyfriend was sinking into her, Beckett was relieved when he didn't wait to begin thrusting and she was holding onto him with her arms as well before trying to move with him. He was gentle and tender and she felt each thrust of his body against hers fully. Caressing at his back and shoulders in time with him he was kissing her, and she hurried to respond before they were continuing until she was crying out and digging her nails into his skin when she found her peak. She was shocked, when her boyfriend was joining her, to feel her body freeze for a moment before a second orgasm was hitting her.

A little startled at his girlfriend's legs moving and heels smacking against him Castle couldn't focus on that since his own pleasure had taken him over. He kept thrusting in her until he was still, watching her below him and seeing how hard she was breathing. "What?" he asked in surprise when he saw the smile on her face.

Opening her eyes Beckett looked into his blue ones and told him, "I should be annoyed at you for pulling me straight in here but… I needed that." When he opened his mouth to speak, she added, "And I wanted it."

"I was going to say," Castle said, carefully withdrawing from her and pulling her to him. "You were following me."

"Yes, but it is my room," Beckett teased him. She laughed and playfully cried out when he turned to her and pretended to tickle her before she grabbed his wrists.

"No?" Castle asked.

"I don't like being tickled," Beckett explained. When he made a face, she brushed her lips to his jaw before she told him, "But you're lucky you stopped."

"And what would you have done if I hadn't?" Castle asked. He was startled when his girlfriend got up and straddled him before he said, "Nothing wrong with that."

"You're a pervert you know that right?" Beckett responded.

"Of course I am," Castle replied, reaching for her ass and squeezing it lightly. He watched his girlfriend gasp before arching her back and he said, "Still waiting to see what you'll do," not surprised when her response was swift after he finished speaking.

"This isn't enough?" Beckett asked, rocking her hips against him and groaning with him. "It isn't," she said at the same time as him before raising herself up. It took her little time to get them coupled again and she was moving on him shortly after that. With her boyfriend grasping at her back and ass, she was concentrating on her rocking before she bounced on him. Alternating between that, she wasn't surprised when it didn't take them that long to come. She was holding his hands that were on her waist, literally riding through her ecstasy, trembling when she stopped with the remnants of her thrusts echoing in her sex. "Hmm," she sighed in pleasure when she saw Castle had stopped.

"Agreed," he replied, smiling when she laughed softly. Opening his eyes, Castle could see his girlfriend's satisfaction and he felt the urge to have her close. Though they had to carefully uncouple, she was soon laying down next to him while she pressed tightly to his side. "Should we… do that again?" he asked.

"You want to already?" Beckett said with a smile, turning onto her stomach as best she could.

"I'd like to but… not the rest of me," Castle replied after he raised his head to see he was beginning to grow limp.

"Well, there is lunch," Beckett said. She was startled when her boyfriend was grasping at her and kissing her passionately before their tongues were dueling each other. When they managed to stop after a while doing that she said, "Ready now?"

"No," Castle said in frustration. "That's my fault though; I just had coffee for breakfast."

"Then we should eat," Beckett replied, starting to get up. When her boyfriend stopped her, she looked at him pointedly and told him, "I'm not eating in bed."

"We couldn't?" Castle asked.

"I changed the sheets yes…" Beckett started to say before she trailed off and shifted a little. "I changed them yesterday, but I don't want grease or food on them."

"Sure," Castle said, watching her getting up. He was following her before he said, "I hope you don't mind; I got a pastrami for us to share."

"I don't," Beckett said. "But what are you going to wear?"

"I have pajamas in my bag," Castle told her. "Which… I just realized I left on the kitchen counter next to the food."

"Do you want me to grab it?" Beckett asked, going to her armoire.

"Do you mind me walking through the place naked?" Castle responded with his own question, speaking a little distractedly since she was pulling on a nightgown that was a cobalt blue.

Smiling at him Beckett said, "Wait there."

"I will," Castle said swiftly. He watched her walk out before she was grabbing his overnight bag and coming back to him, handing it to him. He took out his pajama shirt and pants before he hesitated looking at his boxers inside.

"You don't have to," Beckett said, trying not to smile while she watched him. When he looked at her, she couldn't stop herself and smiling at him said, "Unless it's uncomfortable."

"Not really," Castle said quickly. He got up and pulled on the pants before pulling his shirt over his head. When he could see her, he saw his girlfriend was setting his bag on her dresser before she turned to him. Though he was hungry, he couldn't stop himself from reaching for her, pulling her to him and holding her tightly against his chest before she was speaking carefully.

"Are you… okay?" Beckett asked.

"Yeah, you don't like this? You never-" Castle started to say.

"No, I just thought something was wrong," Beckett interrupted him with a smile. She pulled back enough to look at him before they were kissing gently and she said, "And thank you for that, but we should go eat."

Castle nodded before he followed her to the kitchen, about to go into it to get their food when she stopped him. "I brought the food," he reminded her.

"Yes, but you're my guest," Beckett teased him. She laughed when he pretended to attack her neck before he walked around to sit at the counter. "Are you staying the night?" she asked him, getting the container out.

"Did you not want… if you're asking about tomorrow then I'm staying until you throw me out," Castle said, having interrupted himself when he realized what she'd meant.

"I won't throw you out, but I did want you to stay," Beckett replied. "I don't need to go in until the day after tomorrow."

"You're lucky," Castle replied. When his girlfriend looked at him, he said, "Me too, but I'm standing by what I said."

Laughing softly, Beckett finished their plates by putting the two pickle spears he'd gotten on them both before she told him, "Am I picking where we eat?"

"Go ahead," Castle replied. When she smirked at him, he was hurrying to stand up and grab his plate before she was sitting at her dining room table. He was about to sit at the end when she grabbed his arm and gently guided him around until he was at the chair directly next to her.

After her boyfriend was set next to her, Beckett began to eat, hungry herself before she said once she felt better, "After this, would you do something for me?"

"Of course," Castle said. When she was smiling at him, he said, "I'm serious, you know already I will."

Nodding Beckett put down her napkin and then murmured to him for a moment before he pulled away to stare at her. "You changed your mind," she said.

"No… but you want to watch that with me?" Castle asked.

"Some couples do," Beckett replied, though she soon after shrugged.

"And you don't want to," Castle said firmly. When she sighed and looked away, he then asked, "Which ex?"

"Sorenson," Beckett said. "Which was… disgusting to me since he kept suggesting it, but I watch porn by myself for a reason. When I'm with a lover I would hope he wouldn't need that much extra… stimulation? Incentive?"

"I think incentive," Castle said. "While I said I would do it, not that," he told her before he finished his pickle spear, leaving his plate clear. "But you know we could once in a great while, just not now."

Beckett was a little confused before she changed the subject saying, "Then I guess it's what you want to do," startled when he frowned at her before he was speaking a little sternly.

"Don't say I'm a guest again," Castle said, relaxing when she reached over and gently cupped his cheek.

"No, but I don't really have any ideas," Beckett said gently. She smiled when he took her hand, drawing it to his lips before she said, "Think about it while we clean up." At his nod she was standing up and taking her things to the kitchen where she let Castle rinse the dishes while she watched. "We'll have to order in for dinner," she told him when he was nearly finished.

"I don't mind," Castle said, drying his hands he turned to her before he saw the expression on her face. "You want me to get something?"

"No," Beckett replied with a smile. "I thought you would want me to, I have unlimited options for clothes." She was startled when the expression on his face suddenly became intense and she started to say, "You're-"

Castle wrapped his arms around his girlfriend, crushing his lips to hers while she groaned in response to him. For a moment he thought she might not want the kiss, but as her hands slid up the back of his neck to his hair he was groaning in pleasure. He let that go on for a little longer before he moved away so he could say against her lips, "I've thought of something."

"Tell me," Beckett replied. She gasped when he shook his head a second before he was picking her up, carrying her to her bed where he set her on the mattress carefully. "That?" she asked.

"No," Castle replied before he leaned over to her and kissed her again. He was gentle at first to give her a chance to respond before he deepened it until she was pulling away.

"I'd like to take this off," Beckett replied, biting at her lower lip. "It's a little constricting now." She expected him to respond to that quickly, but when he was staring at her chest, she couldn't help feeling a rush of desire before he bowed his head.

Hearing his girlfriend gasping at him sucking her nipple through her nightgown, Castle did it a little harder before he pulled back to move to the other. It didn't take him long before he was hearing her moaning and he stopped reluctantly to find the fabric was damp.

"Please help me get this off," Beckett begged him. She was relieved when he hurried to acquiesce and once her nightgown was off, she grabbed at the back of his head. Clutching it she literally smashed her mouth to her boyfriend's before she felt him moving slightly. She waited a little to see what exactly he was doing, soon finding he was trying to remove his pajamas when they'd stopped to catch their breath. "Let me help you," she said with a smile as he looked at her questioningly while he panted.

It didn't take long for them to get him undressed, but Castle was moving to take his pajamas to the dresser before turning back to her. "No?" he asked when he saw the expression on her face.

"You're very proud of that," Beckett commented, beginning to lay back when he moved to get on the bed.

"You should be too," Castle said huskily before he brushed his lips to hers. "It is because of you. I thought of something else," he said, ending on the last in a rush.

"What?" Beckett asked, unashamedly ogling his erection. She was shaken from her gaze when her boyfriend was taking her hand and she moved it before he could.

Hissing through his teeth, Castle was soon shaken when he realized she was rubbing her hand on him, and he forced his eyes open. "Kate…" he breathed, moving with her. "You…"

"I thought of something," Beckett said firmly. She was pleased when he only nodded to her and she was gently stroking him, watching how he moved in time with her. She brought her other hand up to assist her eventually, and it didn't take very long before her boyfriend was climaxing over her stomach and breasts.

Breathing hard while he came down from his high, Castle took a little before he could speak and he told her, "You… I'll get a wash-"

"You know what I like to do Castle," Beckett told him. She watched him hesitate again before he nodded, and he laid back watching her cleaning herself up. As soon as she was finished, she turned to him and kissed him deeply before telling him, "Your turn."

Shuddering for a moment, Castle said, "It's what you want?" When she merely raised her eyebrow at him in response he reached for her, wrapping his right arm around her and gently rubbing with his left hand at her clit. He pleasured her very slowly, watching her until he held her writhing body. When she was still, he kissed at her temple before he caressed her hip with his hand, waiting for her to move it which she luckily soon did.

Beckett sighed and shifted every so often while her boyfriend was lightly caressing her clit until she stopped him. "I want you rough," she told him.

"Don't worry, I do too," Castle said before he kissed her. When he pulled away, he helped her lay down and watching her below him wanted to tell her he loved her but soon leaned down to kiss her before he could. After moving from that one he told her, "You're gorgeous."

Reaching up and gently running the backs of her fingers over his cheek, Beckett said, "Take me," pleased when he immediately did so. Throwing herself into their lovemaking she tried to ignore her sudden temptation to tell him that she loved him. The rising stimulation in her helped, and she was thrusting with him before Castle was moving them around. Taking over the thrusting herself, she was kissing him passionately and letting everything with her boyfriend take over while she lost herself to the ecstasy they were providing for one another.
