"It's so funny," Darnley was telling Beckett as he looked around where they were sitting. "That you were here before."

"When I came with May and her parents?" Beckett asked him.

"Yeah, though of course no one recalled our past life then," Darnley said.

"Here comes our dinner," Kathleen said eagerly as she spotted their waiter walking to them and a waitress behind him.

Once they had their food the families were eating then, the adults asking the kids about what they'd had enjoyed the most that day. It ended up lasting all through their meal since the kids were asking their parents the same thing at the end. When they had finished, they were surprised to see Castle talking seriously with their waiter before Julia was the first to speak as Eliza and Mari were urging her to.

"What's going on Dad?" Julia asked him.

"You'll find out, don't worry," Castle said with a smile.

"It's dessert!" Eliza whispered to the others, pretending to whisper though they could still hear her.

"Is it?" Fleur asked her mothers.

"It is, to celebrate our first full day here," Castle said.

"And because the dessert is famous here," Julia quipped.

"You figured that out?" Castle asked.

"I think she remembers us talking about that before," Beckett told her husband.

"Most likely," Castle said with a nod before he laughed when their middle daughters looked at each other and rolled their eyes. "Luckily I know they're not annoyed with me."

Squeezing her husband's hand, Beckett turned her attention to the waiters that were coming out with small plates and she told Eliza, "You and Julia are going to share a slice."

"Okay," the little girl replied before going eagerly to her fork.

"Do we need to leave at a certain time tomorrow?" David asked eventually.

"No, we can leave at the same time today," Castle said.

"We might want to," Beckett said. "I'm not sure if everything will be open at Fisherman's Wharf before then."

"And better for the kids," Nkosi said. "To not wake up too early. Also we can have a good breakfast."

"Mommy, Daddy," Eliza suddenly said. "What about dessert to-"

"We'll figure that out tomorrow," Beckett said gently. "Did you like your pie?" she asked, seeing the two had finished their slice of the restaurant's famous s'mores pie.

"Yeah, I liked the marshmallow in it," Eliza said.

"That's my favorite part too," Julia said, smiling at her little sister. They giggled together when Eliza had nodded her head rapidly and then talked with the other kids as their parents were paying for their meal.

"We're not going to go straight to bed, are we?" Mari asked as they were going to the entrance of the restaurant.

"You have to get ready for bed," Rebecca told her firmly. "And you want to write in your diary, don't you?"

"That's true," Mari said. "You won't leave until after I go to bed, right?"

"No," David assured her.

Looking at Mari, Julia smiled at her before she needed to go into the car with her parents and sisters. She waved before she stepped into the backseat and settled back for the drive home, composing her diary entry already in her mind as the car started down the road.


May 28th, 2021

Managed to write in you today Evangeline and I have a little bit to write and really I just want to talk to the others in my room before we go to bed again.

Today was our first full day here in Mill Valley and San Francisco and oh was it fun! We had breakfast all together in the dining room and it was fun since the others remember it too now. Actually, Patrick said he remembers he made the table there for Mom and Dad as a wedding present in time for Christmas. So that makes it even more special and I'm so happy the people after us kept it!

After we were ready, we drove into the city and went straight to Golden Gate Park, the others said they remembered it more and more as we went through. We parked and walked over to the Academy and then started to go through it once we had our admission. Mom and Dad led us around and they took us almost the same way they had gone around when they were here by themselves. It was a fun way to go; any way is; and Lizzy loved it, Josa loved it, Mari loved it and all the other kids too. I think they liked the rainforest dome the most but the huge tank in the aquarium and touching the stuff in the touch pool was close they said. We ate lunch there too and we sat by the fish tank in the café and they loved that part of it, the food too. I hated that we needed to leave but we had fun while we were there.

And because we had the time, we got to go to the Japanese Tea Garden! I was so, so happy we could since I could show Mari it. We had a snack first at the tea house, tea, crackers and really delicious sweets. I think one was red bean paste so I loved that and I shared it with Mari; luckily she likes it too! We walked around, going to the bridge first and taking turns to go on it and take pictures since we couldn't go all at the same time. Mari loved all the stuff that was there, the plants and waterfalls and pagoda, she said it was beautiful and I'm so happy she got to go since I knew she would love it! We went to the gift shop last and I spotted Dad taking Mom back down the path, and I know he did that to kiss her because of the way they were looking at each other when we met up again.

Julia paused there, wondering if she wanted to include their walk in the same paragraph. She studied what she had and decided that she should make another one since it was so long already. Just as she was about to write the first word, Kathleen was calling out to her and she turned to her friend before she spoke.

"Are you still writing?" the girl asked.

"Yeah, I shouldn't have too, too much left," Julia said. When Kathleen nodded, she turned quickly back to her diary and started to write in it again, starting another paragraph.

After we'd left, we walked to the west and we got to Stow Lake which I definitely remember because we'd walk around there for a while. We didn't go too, too far down the side of the lake but that didn't matter, I still got a lot of memories from that. We stayed doing that until we needed to leave the city and we drove over the bridge to go back to Marin County. We went to Mill Valley, but only just a little bit into it since we got to the restaurant we ate at last time we were here.

It was the Buckeye Roadhouse again and it was delicious just like the last time. More because we got to have dessert! We got their s'mores pie and wow it was really yummy. The marshmallows were perfect, and the chocolate was good too! We talked about today and what was our favorite part and that was fun since it was like going back to the Academy all over again. I want to go back again already but I know Mom and Dad are going to wait to wait a little bit at least since we do have more to check out in the city whenever we're back!

So that's it for tonight Evangeline, we're going to be so busy tomorrow that I have no idea yet if I'll have a chance to write again but I'll try the best I can! Night!

Closing her diary and putting it away with her pen, Julia looked at the others and saw they'd all finished by then and she said, "You didn't have that much to write?"

"Not really," Kathleen said. She smiled and said, "I did want to talk before our parents come up."

"Me too," Julia said firmly. "You never answered us when we asked about your dance."

"No one said anything did they?" Mari added.

"Are you done?" Marie asked with a smile as she was looking between the two of them. When they nodded, she was laughing with the three and said, "It was a lot of fun. Susan was really nice, and we had fun dancing together, having the punch and going outside for some fresh air while a chaperone was there."

"Are you dating her now?" Mari asked.

"I don't know," Marie said. "The dance was… a week ago and we've talked together but we can't really date. Her parents and my moms won't let us I think."

"You could be sweethearts," Julia suggested. "I've told you about Dawn and Ava."

"They're still together?" Kathleen asked.

"Yeah, they hold hands once in a while, spend time with each other alone during recess," Marie said. "They'll go to each other's houses, but we have no idea what they do then."

"I asked Dawn and she said just homework and sometimes they kiss and hold hands," Julia replied. "But they take it easy on kissing in case their parents catch them and they're not allowed to go over to each other's house anymore."

"Would you do that?" Kathleen asked her twin.

"I think so," Marie said slowly as she was thinking that over. She then smiled and said, "I'll have to ask Mum and Mom what they would think of that." She then blushed and said, "And then Susan."

"I hope that works for you," Julia said. "For you both," she then corrected herself.

"What about you?" Mari asked Kathleen.

"About me what?" the girl asked in response in surprise.

"Did you go to the dance too?" Mari said.

"No, no one asked me," Kathleen replied.

"No one?" Julia asked though she looked at her twin.

"Nobody did," Marie said. "Which makes me mad, but the boy Kathleen likes asked someone else… it also made me mad."

"There's a boy you like?" Mari asked.

"Yeah," Kathleen said shyly. "But I just like him, I don't want to be sweethearts or anything."

"A crush?" Julia asked. When the girl nodded, she smiled and said, "Cool. Is he nice?"

"His name is Colton," Marie said before her twin could speak. When she looked at her, she asked, "What? They need to know."

"He's in the same grade and in our class," Kathleen said. "And that's enough."

"I don't think it is," Julia said teasingly.

"He's nice but he plays pranks sometimes with his friends," Marie added. She saw the way her twin was rolling her eyes and said, "I said he was nice!"

Shaking her head as Julia and Mari were laughing together, Kathleen told her twin, "At least you started with that."

When she calmed down, Julia heard footsteps and then said, "Oh, I think it's time for us to go to bed."

"It is," Castle said, walking into the room just after Beckett. "You guys were talking; we could hear you on the way up the stairs."

"We still could," Marie said jokingly.

"Don't start," Mary said, shaking her head though she was smiling in amusement. "Come here you two and say goodnight to us."

"You're no fun," Julia said teasingly to her parents.

"You shouldn't smile when you say that," Beckett told her.

"I had to try," Julia said with a shrug. She hugged them in turn and once they had exchanged I love yous said, "Are we still going on the cable cars?"

"Of course," Castle replied. "You do know it's the best way to go."

"What if we take up the whole car?" Julia asked.

"We won't but that would be awesome," Castle commented, looking at his wife.

"Get into bed sweetie," Beckett told her, shaking her head before she tucked her in and Rebecca did the same for Mari on the other side. She went to the doorway with the others and said goodnight to the four girls with the other parents before they were responding with more fatigued voices. When they were downstairs with Darnley and Nkosi she said, "You're leaving?" as Rebecca was grabbing her purse on the table next to the front door.

"Yeah, it sounds like we're going to have a lot of walking tomorrow," David said. "So we're going to head to bed."

"I was going to say we'll be doing the same," Darnley said before they were looking at Castle as his phone made a text alert sound.

"Who's texting you this late?" Beckett asked, thinking of someone from home.

"It's the contractor here," Castle said slowly as he was reading the message. "It's still late for him, but this message got delayed… the city," he said, adding the last for the others.

"We had that problem before too," Skye commented. "He's not saying he can't extend the guest house, is he?"

"He's suggesting to us to extend it further," Beckett replied, having read the message when her husband handed her his phone.

"For aesthetic purposes," Castle explained. "He was looking at the computer mockup of what it'll look like when it's finished and he said it doesn't really work."

"Oh… he's right… but what's he suggesting?" Mary said as Beckett was showing the picture to them.

"That we make an L-shaped building that connects to the house by a covered patio," Castle said. "Though he'd have to cover our patio we have now and extend that."

"What about the bedrooms?" Nkosi asked.

"Six in the end," Beckett said. When she saw the surprised looks on the other's faces she said quickly, "That's including the room that's out there now."

"That's better," Skye said.

"You don't think that's a lot?" Castle asked.

"No, how many people might you have over here through the years?" Skye said immediately in response.

"It's what I was thinking," Castle said.

"So you're going to approve it?" Mary asked.

"Most likely," Beckett said.

"Would it still be finished by December?" Rebecca inquired.

"It might be cutting it close, but if they start Tuesday they'll be finished close to when we arrive," Castle replied. "At least that's the hope but we should have the original three rooms set."

"Which is enough," Darnley said.

"We should go," Rebecca said with a smile. "Since like I said we could use some sleep."

"You can manage those hills fully fatigued, no problem," Castle joked. He smiled as his wife nudged his side and they were saying goodnight to their friends before they were saying the same to Darnley, Nkosi and the McDouglases. Heading up the stairs, he was holding Beckett's hand tightly, not wanting to break his hold with her until they were in their room, finally alone though he had no idea what they would be doing just yet.


"Why did it take us so long?"

"So long to do what?"

"Use this tub?" Beckett asked her husband, moving slightly so she could look back at him.

Smiling, Castle leaned down and kissed her shoulder before he told her, "I guess it just didn't work out until now. We did come upstairs early."

Laughing softly, Beckett said, "We could have done it last time."

"Do you really want to take the time to figure this out right now?" Castle asked her.

"Not really, but it seems to be distracting you," Beckett replied easily.

"From what?" Castle said.

"Come on," Beckett told him as she pulled away from him then, standing up in the tub.

"Wait," Castle said, trying to get up quickly before his wife was stepping out and grabbing a towel for him. He let her dry him off and told her, "You know you didn't have to." He smiled when she smirked at him and as soon as she was finished he was getting another towel for her. "I have something in mind," he told her after he'd finished drying her off in turn.

"Okay," Beckett said in slight surprise. She wrapped her towel around her and then followed her husband before she saw he was grabbing a spare blanket from the closet before he walked to the desk. "I don't know if you care, but I realize what you want to do now," she teased him.

"I want you to," Castle said a little absently as he was draping the blanket over the desk, making sure it went over the back so it blocked the furniture from the wall. "Okay so…" he said, noticing she'd walked up to him and was close. "It's funny we always thought this desk was against that wall by the door," he said, suddenly realizing he didn't want to rush into anything just yet.

Smiling, as she knew what he was doing, Beckett said, "I think we had our room in Adare in mind." When she saw her husband was looking at the desk she said, "I know, the desk is on the east wall but we were thinking of the same setup."

"Yeah," Castle said slowly. "Well, since we came back to our memories gradually that makes sense."

Nodding Beckett said, "Are you thinking of Adare right now?" When her husband nodded eagerly, she couldn't help laughing and going on her tiptoes to kiss him. "You're a pervert but I was thinking of it too," she told him. "But I want to know what you had in mind exactly now." Watching him hesitate for a moment she was startled before he was suddenly speaking as he was pulling her body flush against his own.

"I don't want to just start…" Castle said slowly, hoping she knew what he meant.

Brushing her lips to his Beckett told him, "It doesn't matter, we don't have that much time really."

"I know but still," Castle said simply.

Smiling, Beckett squeezed her arms around his neck before he kissed her, and their tongues were swiftly beginning to tangle together. When they stopped, she whispered, "To be honest I want to use this desk."

"Okay," Castle said, moving his hands to pick her up. He was just about to lift her when he paused, hearing her say his name questioningly. "I forgot," he began in explanation. "These towels." He was a little startled when she stepped away before she opened it and let it fall to the ground. He found he was breathing a little roughly and he murmured, "You're a goddess."

Smiling, Beckett said, "What about yours?"

Without even looking at the towel, Castle was pulling it off his waist though he had to open it since his erection was nearly fully engorged. He wasn't surprised when his wife reached down to it, and he did his best not to stop her before her thumb ran over the very tip of him. "Kate," he breathed as she carefully let him go.

Making sure her husband was looking up at her, Beckett brought her thumb to her mouth and slipped it inside, obviously licking at it before she moved to wrap her arms around him. She went to his ear and murmured, "You can fuck me love."

Pulling away, Castle didn't bother to ask if she was sure, instead helping her onto the desk and watching her spread her legs. He let her take hold of him again before he was sliding into her with her help. He did that slowly, wanting to take his time before their hips were pressed together. He braced himself to start moving, when he paused and told his wife, "Could you do something for me?" When she nodded in response he said, "Lean back on your hands?"

Beckett was smiling and she told him, "I can," before she moved to do so. She waited eagerly for her husband to begin thrusting and when she did, she was startled to find he was going slowly. "Rick-" she started to say, wanting to frown in her slight frustration though her husband was soon leaning down to her and kissing her tenderly.

"I'll take care of you," Castle told her huskily.

Hearing her husband's tone of voice, Beckett nodded and took his kiss as he leaned down again. When she felt his hand on her left breast suddenly, she wasn't surprised and broke off their kiss so she could watch him gently caressing her mound. She gasped softly while he was lightly playing with her nipple and she stopped moving before grabbing his hips.

"You don't mind?" Castle asked her as he ceased thrusting himself.

"I'm expecting you to," Beckett said softly as she let her legs loosen on him.

"Vixen," Castle breathed since he could see them coupled with that movement. He leaned down and though he knew it would make his back uncomfortable, proceeded to suckle at her breasts. Going back and forth between them he almost didn't want to stop, only doing so when his wife made him. He kissed her roughly as soon as he'd straightened up, feeling her legs tighten around him while her arms were doing the same. He would never be able to figure out what made him start to thrust at that point, but he was going very fast as she had asked him to do. When they parted to vocalize their pleasure he was about to ask her to lean back again when she was doing so for him.

Feeling a rush of pleasure race through her body, Beckett watched her husband while he was holding her by her hips. Eventually he grabbed onto the sides of the desk and she suddenly felt an intense thrill pass through her as the movement aroused her even more. She was crying out his name while he rammed into her and shortly after her back was against the wall, hitting it. All of it added to the absolute joy building up in her body and when she broke, she was clutching at Castle's arms as tight as she could, calling his name in ecstasy before he joined her shortly after. She couldn't really move with him but didn't mind it since she was starting to slow down. She was breathing heavily and holding her husband against her as he gave a few last thrusts until his final one that nearly had her back flat against the wall. Caressing the back of his head while he was obviously recovering, she murmured, "I'm surprised you did that in the end."

Laughing breathily, Castle moved away from her neck and he brushed his lips to hers before he said softly against her lips, "We would do that all the time on this desk."

"Hmm, but it's what you wanted to start with," Beckett teased him. She laughed when he growled and pretended to bite at her neck saying, "Thank you, but I'd like to stick with that for a while tonight."

"Do you mean all night?" Castle commented.

"I would," Beckett said. Something came to her then and she told him, "Let me get off of this."

"Sure," Castle said, though he was careful in withdrawing from her. Once she was down, he watched her walk to the bathroom, startled since he'd expected her to go over to their bed. "Are you okay?" he couldn't help asking, becoming a little concerned when he heard one of the faucets turning on.

"Yes, go to the bed," Beckett called out to him.

Doing so immediately, Castle watched her walking out and he asked, "Why-" as she was holding a wet washcloth.

"I was debating whether or not I should do that for you," Beckett told him. "But it's probably better if you take care of it."

"Is that meant sexually or not?" Castle asked, hesitating.

"Do whatever you want to," Beckett said, getting onto the bed next to him and sitting on her knees. She smiled when her husband looked at her with wide eyes before he started to rub the washcloth around his length, watching him closely before he stopped and tossed the cloth to the floor. She cried out in surprise as he suddenly grabbed her, laying her on her back before they were kissing each other almost greedily. When they parted after a few of those in a row she needed to recover to be able to speak when her husband was moving to whisper into her ear.

"Tell me what you dreamed of love," Castle told her.

Smiling Beckett asked, "You remember?" At his simple nod she bit her lower lip before telling him what she had seen in her dreams the night before. She wasn't surprised when he was tense against her once she stopped and said, "What about you?"

"Later," Castle said, shaking his head and leaning down to her. They were kissing passionately again and when they stopped, he was going to ask if she wanted him to fuck her again when she was suddenly turning him onto his back and talking to him teasingly at the same time.

"I'm sure you can guess what I wanted to do," Beckett said.

"Not really," Castle answered.

Beckett couldn't help laughing and she told her husband, "You said that way too fast." She was smiling as he shrugged in response and she leaned down to him, kissing him tenderly before they were slowly parting. She waited for him to say anything in protest before she was moving down to his chest.

Groaning heavily as his wife was kissing around his nipples and sucking on them, Castle was going to beg her to let them make love when she was pulling away. "I can't change your mind?" he asked while she moved down his body.

"Not really," Beckett said with a smile before she leaned down to him. She was holding his erection while she did that and she kissed the tip of his length before taking him with her mouth. She bobbed her head a few times before focusing on the end, circling it with the very tip of her tongue and hearing how her husband was nearly sobbing in joy while he was groaning at the same time.

When her hand came into play under his member, Castle's eyes rolled into the back of his head as the sensations were adding up and becoming nearly too much for him to handle. He was able to keep from losing control until he was yelling her name once as the pleasure seemed to explode within him. Feeling something on his chest, he could only consider it for a second before he was fully lost to his pleasure. It took him a while to come back to himself and once he had he was breathing rapidly, reaching for his wife.

"Hold on love," Beckett told him, smiling as he immediately let his arms hit the bed underneath him. She bent down and started to clean off his chest where she'd made sure his release had ended up. Once she'd finished, she was crying out in surprise as she was on her back on the bed and said, "Did I push you too far?"

"No," Castle said before he kissed her though he was intending to say more. Their tongues met and dueled for a bit before they were slowly parting and he said when they were apart, "You're so fucking beautiful Kate."

"You want me?" Beckett replied. When her husband nodded, she brushed her lips to his, preparing to reach for his still firm erection when he was moving away from her. "What-" she started to say before he pulled her after him. She let him lead her back to the desk and she smirked at him saying, "Which way?"

"That's up to you," Castle replied easily. "Either way I want us to be here."

Beckett wrapped her arms around him and kissing him lovingly and briefly before they parted and said, "Both."

"B… yes, both," Castle said momentarily confused before it hit him as to what she meant. He couldn't stop himself from kissing her, doing so passionately as he held her tight to him yet again. When they stopped and parted, he pressed his forehead to hers and whispered, "You're a goddess love."

"Hmm, you're a Sheik, Rick," Beckett said in response, smiling. They kissed again and when they stopped, she wasn't surprised when her husband was making her turn. She moved the blanket out of the way and then looked back at Castle before he was stepping up to her and she bent over enough to put her hands on the top of the desk. As he was entering her, she was moaning heavily in joy before they were coupled fully, and she was going to remind him to fuck her when he spoke and started to move at the same time.

"I should… make love to… you," Castle was saying, having to space out his words as he was trying to get his rhythm set.

"You don't need to," Beckett gasped while she was doing her best to move along with him. She could feel his hands on her hips moving away shortly after, placing his hands on the desk next to hers. He was moving faster, and she was crying out in joy at the sensation before he pulled back too much, and she gasped as his length was brushing against her ass. "Wait," she said, knowing he would move to slide in her. She stood up straight and pulled the blanket back over the desk before she felt her husband was pulling her back against him.

"I was going to make you come," Castle murmured into her ear.

"You can while I'm facing you," Beckett replied before she turned around to him. She wrapped her arms around him tightly and murmured, "Fuck me again lover."

Castle moved to pick her up, setting her on the desk again and he allowed her to take control before he was sliding within her. Breathing heavily once the tip of him was inside her, he took a moment before she was placing her feet as flat as she could on the outside of his legs. With him able to see where they were coupled, he leaned over and kissed her passionately though he didn't linger for very long before he pulled away. As she leaned back on her hands, he grasped her hips tightly and then started to move.

Throwing her head back a little, Beckett let out a cry and was closing her eyes a moment later while she was taking in how her husband felt against her. With him moving so rapidly and her body already stimulated from him while they'd been standing, she wasn't surprised when they didn't last for long. Her legs moved to wrap around her husband's in reaction and she was pulling him closer against her in reaction to her orgasm. She was crying out heavily when she felt her husband joining her and she was lightly dragging her nails along his back until she stopped moving. When her husband finally did too, she smiled and told him, "You don't need to tonight."

Moving away from her as he felt a little stronger, Castle stood up straight and said, "I know, but… could we go to the bed?"

"We can," Beckett said. "But let me down."

"I wanted to carry you," Castle said in a mock whining voice. He smiled when his wife did at him and he leaned over, kissing her tenderly before he pulled away from her carefully. After she'd gotten off the desk, he followed her to the bed and stayed standing next to it while he watched her laying down in the middle of it before she looked up at him with her eyebrow raised slightly.

"What's wrong?" Beckett said, wondering why he was staring at her as he was. She sat up as he was getting on his knees next to her and said, "What would you like to do now?"

Castle smiled since she was doing so to him and then leaned over, kissing her gently on the lips. They just barely parted when he was going back to her lips and they were kissing a second time but much more fervently. He had no idea how long they were doing that, only that they had to part so they could breathe again. He reached up to her hair, gently running his fingers through it before he told her huskily, "I never told you what I dreamed about."

"Okay," Beckett said easily, watching him laying down. She was quick to follow him and once she was pressed against his side asked, "When was it?" She was startled to feel him tensing up and asked, "Was it from now?"

"No," Castle said quickly. "It's more…"

"Fantasy?" Beckett suggested when he trailed off.

"Yeah, are you sure you want to hear?" Castle asked.

"Do I need to be worried how dirty this is going to be?" Beckett said, tilting her head up a little.

"No, not that dirty," Castle said in a rush. "But there's no break in it being sexual."

"I don't mind," Beckett said.

"Then get comfortable," Castle told her, smiling when she was laughing slightly. He kissed her suddenly and after they stopped, he held her securely against his side as he started with where his dream had the night before with them in their bedroom at their Hamptons home.


"Rick," Beckett said, coming up behind her husband.

"You're not tired?" Castle asked, turning around to face her.

"Oh no, I'm hoping you aren't," Beckett replied before she was untying the robe she had on.

Seeing his wife's body bared to him beneath the light blue fabric, Castle was reaching for her and pulling her to him. His intention had been to kiss her, but she was moving away from him with a laugh that thrilled him as he watched her reach for his shirt. He groaned as she tore it open at the top of it and said, "You want this that badly?"

"Of course, I'll have to sew them back but it's better to have you ready," Beckett told him with a smirk.

Castle wasn't sure exactly how they managed to get his pants and boxers off as fast as they did in the end, but he was naked shortly after and he was watching his wife get onto the bed. He wanted to linger and watch her, observing her move her hair back over her shoulders before she reached for his hand.

"Come here," Beckett said insistently as she pulled at him and had him get on the mattress with her. She smirked and told him, "You weren't ready to move."

"I was watching you," Castle commented, staring at her and feeling his desire rising with each second. "Am I going to be punished?" he asked as he knew she wanted him to say that.

"You are… to a degree," Beckett said. She parted her legs and rubbed at her clit lightly a few times before saying in a demanding tone, "And you'll start right here."

"Okay," Castle said eagerly, and he literally jumped onto his wife before he was burying his face in between her legs, licking and sucking at her sex and clit.


Moaning softly Beckett tried to talk as her husband had stopped though he'd begun rubbing at her clit. She managed to stop him, though she let his hand stay where it was, and she told him, "I know now that's a definite dream."

"You tore my shirt?" Castle said. When she smiled, he couldn't help laughing and he said, "I know, but…" He then started rubbing at her clit again, not surprised when she moved his hand away. He did that for a little before he moved his fingers and then himself to go down in between her legs. He proceeded to suck on her clit while his fingers slipped into her sex, hearing her speaking shortly after he began.

"Rick you…" Beckett started to say. But she trailed off not just because he was pleasuring her, but because she was suddenly feeling an intense thrill of arousal at the thought of his fingers moving within her still filled sex which was in that state because of him. She tried to push that aside before it could set off her climax and instead started to move with him after he'd put her legs over his shoulders. She was shifting around, moaning and trying to keep herself from orgasming and taking away her husband's chance to pleasure her. But she eventually couldn't hold it off anymore and she gasped out, "Oh… Rick I'm going to come!" before she was doing so, clutching at the bed beneath her and trying not to hurt him as she writhed in her ecstasy.

Though he'd only been sucking at her clit, Castle was still feeling his length throb against his stomach before she stopped moving. He sucked very gently at the nub a little after she'd calmed and then pulled away, pausing to press a kiss to it before he got up on his knees.

"Wait," Beckett said rapidly, pushing herself up as well since she thought he'd move to get off the bed.

"What?" Castle asked, surprised at how she'd spoken. When his wife didn't say anything, his eyes widened as she took his hand and slid her mouth down his index finger. He could feel her tongue rubbing over him and he groaned in pleasure at her movements before she was doing the same with his middle finger. "Kate," he breathed while she pressed a kiss to his palm when she had finished.

"Yes?" Beckett asked. She wasn't surprised when her husband grabbed her, pulling her to him so they could kiss. She could feel his passion from the start, more so when his tongue was tangling around hers and she focused on trying to playfully fight him until they were stopping to breathe. "Was there more to your dream?" she asked him.

"There was," Castle said. When she looked at him in confusion; for his tone of voice he knew; he explained, "Could I ask for something before I tell you though?"

"It depends on what it is," Beckett told him.

"Could you get on top of me?" Castle asked, expecting her to call him a pervert. He was a little taken aback when she moved to straddle him and he said, "You know what I meant by that right?"

"Oh, I do," Beckett said, grasping his erection. She lowered her body onto it, being careful to not go too quickly until their skin was meeting and she felt him fully within her. "Am I supposed to move?" she asked him, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"No, you'll… you really want to do what we did then?" Castle asked.

"I would," Beckett said seriously. "Though… did I pleasure you after you did the same to me?" When her husband nodded reluctantly, she sighed and got off him, playfully scolding him as she told him, "You should have told me before I got onto your cock."

Breathing out roughly, Castle called, "You did it once already." When he had no response from his wife he then asked, "Mind if I do the same to you again after?"

Smiling as she walked out with another washcloth, Beckett said, "You might have to."

"Good," Castle said, reaching out for the washcloth. He was surprised when she merely smiled at him and then started to clean his member herself. He was groaning as she was being thorough and he said, "You're going to make me come now."

"I won't," Beckett said, tossing aside the cloth as she'd finished. She followed him back onto the bed and waited for him to lay down before she asked, "Did I do anything special or different?"

"No, you just… pleasured me," Castle said. He saw her studying him for a moment and was about to insist on that when she smiled and moved down to him. He was pleased when she went straight to his erection, telling her she had done that in the dream before he was groaning as she slid her mouth around it. He found himself grasping the sheet underneath him while she bobbed her head, and his eyes were closed tightly as they had rolled back. When he was suddenly moving, he swore and apologized to her before he stopped while she was raising her head to look at him with a smile.

"Don't worry," Beckett told him gently, rubbing around his erection with one hand. "I didn't think you'd last that long, and if you need to move to help that please do it," she told him before she was going down on him again.

Castle let himself become lost in what his wife was doing, pleased when her hand came up and started to lightly play with him. It was the gentle nature of her touch that pushed him completely over the edge and he was groaning her name in total joy before he was limp on the bed. When she pulled away and looked down at him, he said, "I don't want to tell you my dream anymore."

"I think we're breaking from it anyway," Beckett said as she watched him recovering. She leaned down and kissed him lovingly before she said, "But what did we do after I pleasured you?"

"Fucked," Castle said slowly.

Beckett couldn't help laughing at her husband's tone and she told him, "Pervert, is that why you want to make love to me?"

"Yeah," Castle said, nodding his head. "But you know I'm starting to see why it would be great to just fuck each other like crazy."

"Like crazy?" Beckett asked him in amusement. Her response from her husband was him turning her onto her back and she let out a short cry of surprise before he was kissing her. She recovered quickly and she was holding onto him tightly, wrapping her legs around him before he was moving down to her neck. She moaned his name as he was quick to reach her breasts and she loosened her arms around him as he was kissing at the mounds lovingly until he looked up at her. "Please," she told him. "I want to feel your mouth again."

"But could I have your pussy again after this?" Castle begged her.

Reaching up and lightly running her fingers through his hair on the side of his head, Beckett was nodding and telling him, "I want your cock Rick."

"Vixen," Castle breathed to her before they kissed as he'd pushed himself up to her. Their tongues tangling together for a while, they soon parted, and he murmured, "I'm not going to stop wanting you Kate."

"Neither will I," Beckett replied with a slight smile on her face. She expected her husband to kiss her again, but when he started to trail his lips down her body she wasn't disappointed. She moaned eagerly in delight at the touch and how it filled her with a sensuous warmth until he had reached her sex. She felt him at her clit, her legs straightening out suddenly in response to the sensation while he was taking it back in his mouth.

Throwing her legs over his shoulders, Castle returned to pleasuring the heavily swollen nub and he couldn't resist in becoming a little rougher in his ministrations before he heard her crying out to him. That spurred him further and he moved down to her entrance, licking at her folds before he moved around to slip his tongue inside her. He felt her moving but didn't let that stop him as he was using his fingers from both hands to rub at her clit.

Beckett couldn't fight what her husband was making her feel though she did try for a short time. Her orgasm felt intense and she was writhing around on the bed and distantly hoping her heels weren't hitting his back. When she felt herself calmer, her husband was moving back to start kissing at her sex and clit until she was moving and pulling him up to her. She made him kiss her, tasting them both at that moment while their tongues were meeting yet again. When they stopped, he was moving and she assisted him until he was sliding within her, their kisses ended by them groaning together at the sensation. "Fuck me again, please Rick," she begged him.

"I will," Castle said simply before he started to move and do just that.

The pair were so heavily involved in each other as they were making love roughly, that it was a shock when they climaxed very close in time to each other. When they stopped, they breathed roughly while they were recovering, their orgasms highly euphoric and feeling very sated. Eventually though, Castle was letting out a frustrated groan before he was speaking to his wife.

"We're going to have to stop, aren't we?" he asked her.

Looking over at the alarm clock on his nightstand, Beckett sighed and said, "I think so." She waited for him to get off her before she said, "I don't know about continuing to do this though," a little hesitant since she wasn't sure what his reaction would be.

"I was thinking the same," Castle commented. He couldn't help laughing slightly when his wife looked startled and he explained, "It's hard to worry about waking up the next day when I just want to spend hours in bed with you."

Beckett nodded and then told him, "We do have the night we get home."

Reaching for her, Castle was kissing his wife lovingly before they made it deeper at the same time and spent a while doing that. When they parted, he said, "As long as we're not exhausted."

"As long as we sleep on the plane," Beckett responded.

"True," Castle replied. He brushed his lips to hers and then asked, "Get under the covers?"

"That would be nice," Beckett replied. She moved to sit up as he went to the covers at the end of the bed and saw him pause, making her ask, "What is it?"

"Should we get dressed?" Castle asked.

"We didn't last night," Beckett pointed out. She then realized; studying her husband's face; what he was thinking and she smiled before she told him, "We didn't worry about that this morning… unless it was a problem for you."

Looking down at his erection; which had gone down slightly by then; Castle shook his head and told her, "I'll be okay. I just wanted to make sure." He leaned over and kissed her gently before laying down on his side with the sheet in his left hand before she pressed to his side and they worked together to cover them both. "Tonight was amazing," he told her seriously.

"Pervert," Beckett replied. She smiled when he laughed, looking down at him as he took off his glasses.

"I've been waiting for you to call me that," Castle said, watching her take the glasses and set them on her nightstand. "Thanks. I also have been waiting to use that desk."

"And was it worth the wait?" Beckett asked. She was a little startled when her husband suddenly grew serious before he brought her down to him so they could kiss.

"It always was when it involved you," Castle replied when they had parted.

Breathing a little heavily, Beckett bit at her lower lip before she was kissing him, and they were doing so passionately. She eventually stopped them before she said, "I… feel the same but…"

"Don't worry," Castle said. "That was my fault."

"I don't blame you though," Beckett told him.

"Yeah…" Castle began slowly as he watched her laying down again. He shook himself and then reached over to brush some of her hair off her cheek before he told her, "I love you Kate."

"I love you too Rick," Beckett said. "And know that I'm not happy about stopping."

"I'm right there with you," Castle told her.

Beckett let out a soft laugh and then shook her head saying, "That's a weird way to word it but I'm happy to know you feel the same." She raised her head, and they exchanged a gentle kiss before she said, "You'll still dream about me?"

"Of course, I'm just hoping that it'll be non-sexual to focus on our vacation," Castle said. He studied her for a moment and then asked, "You too?"

"Me too," Beckett said with a nod. She and her husband exchanged a loving kiss before they settled down to sleep. After their goodnights to one another she closed her eyes, eager for her dreams even if she and her husband weren't going to be intimate anymore. She could feel, as she was starting to nod off, the sensation of hers and Castle's lovemaking and it was enough before she slept peacefully and sated in his arms through to the next morning.
