"Have you heard from Stella?" he asked the two women.

"She sent me an e-mail last night," Skye answered with a nod. "I forwarded it to your wife." She smiled and said, "You'll look great."

"I'm just wondering what the change was," Castle said honestly as the designer had told them the month before that she had switched his outfit.

"Something more spring," Mary commented.

"Did she change yours?" Beckett asked the woman.

Shaking her head; as she was eating some of the green beans that was with her plate; Mary finally told them, "No, it's still a dress that'll work in the greenhouse. Good thing your cousin has that."

"I thought the same," Beckett said with a smile. "I wonder if she could use Clara at all."

Skye, bringing her glass up to lips, paused at that and asked, "Has Brennan asked you?"

"I know he's thinking that," Beckett replied. "But I couldn't ask Stella; it's enough that she's using the four of us."

"She might once she's here," Skye said. "But it depends on the outfits she has. Though I agree, we shouldn't really say anything."

"We?" Castle asked.

"Of course, you don't think we'd mind if she joined in do you? Actually it might help," Skye said. "Only one man," she then started in Irish. "Might seem a bit odd so your cousin could join in with Clara."

"We'll wait and find out," Mary said, patting her wife's arm. "For now that was a great dinner."

"Small though," Castle muttered.

"It was," Skye said. "Though would you like dessert here or at one of the bars?"

"I'm glad you brought that up," Beckett said, smiling at her husband. "He wants to head to the American Bar."

"Oh, I don't blame you," Skye said to Castle. "They have drinks based on photographs of celebrities."

"I wonder who they have," Beckett said.

"They also have food, so we should head there," Skye said, speaking in Irish.

"We can go right now," Castle said as he was gesturing to the waitress. He handed her his card before he turned to his wife and said, "Do you mind?"

"No," Beckett said. "Why would I?"

"Just making sure," Castle said.

"I'm surprised that you want to go," Mary said to her.

"I am drinking every so often," Beckett said. Castle got his card back at that moment and once he had stood she followed him, looking over at Skye and Mary while they were doing the same. She was able to ask them what they wanted to eat at the bar when her husband placed her arm through his and was asking her a question.

"I almost forgot, do we have time for the bar?" Castle asked.

"Are you calling your kids later?" Skye said when they'd left the restaurant.

"Yes, but not until nine," Beckett said, looking at her husband questioningly. She looked at her father's watch again and said, "What time do you have?"

"Almost eight," Skye said. "We have time, I figured it would just be a drink and perhaps dessert."

"I want you to see this bar," Castle said when his wife looked at him.

"Me too," Mary said. She smiled when the others laughed and they went together to the bar before she glanced at Beckett with her wife when they could see inside.

"I see," she told her husband as there were numerous photographs on the wall. She smiled and said, "Where will we sit?"

"Over here," Skye commented, having been looking at the photos.

Glancing at the wall the investigator had been looking at, Beckett was a little confused until they got close to the group of photographs there. "They have a drink based on Paul?" she asked as they were sitting around a table together.

"I would imagine Linda too," Skye said, the photograph of Paul playing a piano. "I've seen this picture, it's the reception for Ringo and Barbara's wedding."

"Oh yeah, he's right there," Castle said, looking closer at the people in the picture.

"Their drink is called Club Rags," Mary said, getting their attention. When the others looked at her she smiled at her wife and said, "That was where the picture is. But the drink is tequila-"

"Paul would love that," Skye commented with a smile. "What else grá?"

"Pickled orange," Mary read from the menu. "Lime and Hibiscus agave. It sounds very nice."

"I'm game to try," Skye said.

"I think we all will," Castle said when his wife nodded slightly at his look.

"What about to eat?" Skye asked her wife.

"They do have a dessert," Mary said, handing the menu to her.

"Coffee or tea and dessert," Skye told the other two. "Or a cupcake I should say. Which sounds very nice for after the drink."

"Is that it?" Beckett asked as the investigator had handed the menu to her husband.

"It is," Castle said. "What do you think?"

Reading about it; as he'd handed her the menu; Beckett nodded and said, "Coffee will be nice. And you can pick the cupcake."

After someone had come over to get their drink orders the four were quiet, watching some of the others at the bar before Castle cleared his throat.

"Sorry," he said to the others. "I'm wondering if you've heard anything about Mill Valley."

Shaking her head, Skye said, "Not yet, they haven't gone and I don't want to push. To be honest they might wait and go later; once it's warmer." She saw the way Beckett was taking her husband's hand and was about to speak before she started to speak as the first of their drinks were being served.

"Pink…" Mary said.

"I don't care, I knew it was going to be already," Castle said quickly as the two women looked at him. "And it looks good."
"It does," Beckett said, smiling at the man setting hers and Castle's drinks in front of them. She wasn't surprised when her husband reached out to grab her knee and she murmured when the man left him, "He was just smiling."

"I still felt compelled to," Castle said simply, speaking in Irish as she had been. He squeezed her knee and then picked up his glass saying, "I feel there's a toast here."

"Let me," Skye said in mock annoyance. She smiled at him so he wouldn't think she was angry, and she said, "To Linda," nodding to the picture. "And John and George too. And I feel we should toast Freddie as well; he'd want a drink with us."

"To Freddie," Beckett was saying along with Castle and Mary. They tapped their glasses together and drank before she lowered her glass and said, "Are you able to sense him a lot?"

Smiling briefly at her friend's Irish, Skye said, "Here and there. Don't be startled but he says he's been speaking a bit with your daughters."

"Daughters?" Castle and Beckett said at the same time, so startled they said the word in English.

"Eliza?" Beckett asked after she and her husband had shared a look.

Nodding Skye took another sip of her drink before she said, "I'm not sure why he's talking to Eliza, but he's just seeing them every so often." She then became serious and said, "But with Julia this means her abilities are stronger."

"How?" Beckett said seriously.

"Because she was able to call to him herself," Skye replied. "Freddie told me," she said reassuringly. "But when I see her again I'd like to speak to her about that, just to make sure it wouldn't be more than her grandmother and great-grandmother can help her with."

"Go ahead," Castle said. "If it helps her I'll be relieved."

When her husband looked at her, Beckett sighed before she said, "Yeah, go ahead."

"How are your girls?" Mary asked, having been listening to the conversation with a smile.

"They're good, fine. Why?" Beckett asked.

"I was wondering if anyone was trying to ask Julia to a school dance or something," Mary explained. "She'll be twelve in a month."

"A couple boys," Beckett said with a smile. "The middle school does have a Valentine's Day dance on Friday."

"Ooh," Skye said. "She's lucky she has the excuse of being out of the country."

"My luck too," Castle said wryly. When his wife nudged him with her elbow he smiled and said, "I wasn't happy hearing that."

"Is she aware they'll keep asking as time goes on?" Skye asked the pair.

"She does, but again we did talk with her about what to say," Beckett said.

"And to let us know if any boy becomes obsessed," Castle added.

"I'm sure she'll be fine," Skye commented.

"Though if she gets interested in someone herself…" Mary began.

"We'll let her date once she's thirteen," Beckett said. "We talked about it and agreed chaperoned dates can start then," finishing by looking at her husband with a slight smile on her face.

"Yes she can start then," Castle said with a sigh. "I mean I don't want to stop her and I would like the fact that we go with her."

"You never did that with Alexis?" Mary said.

Shaking his head Castle replied, "She wanted to start dating later so I never had to; but I would have if it came to that. I'm just glad it didn't."

"You didn't want her dating that young?" Skye asked.

"Not without her," Castle said simply, nodding to his wife.

Reaching over to squeeze his hand in thanks, Beckett finished her drink and said, "I think I'd like to get back to our room," speaking to him.

"Yeah," Castle replied with a nod before they looked over at the couple across from them.

"We'll do the same," Skye said easily. "We should get some rest. What're you guys doing tomorrow?"

"National Gallery," Castle said simply.

"Have fun," Mary said as her wife and Castle were paying for the drinks.

"What about you guys?" Beckett said with a slight frown.

Shaking her head Skye said, "Practice; the rest of the band is getting in and we're being allowed to use an unused studio at Abbey Road. Paul wants us to and we want to for Killer Queen." She then nodded her head a few times before she said, "And the other song as well…"

"And more songs," Castle commented.

"Yeah, we do need to practice," Mary said, squeezing her wife's shoulder firmly. "So we'll see you when we see you I think."
"You can join us whenever you'd like," Beckett told the two women seriously.

"We'll see," Skye said as they stood up. "We'll call you if we want to."

"Thanks for joining us for dinner," Beckett said, going to her friend and hugging her tightly. After they'd let go of each other she went to Mary and did the same with her before they were leaving and then going to the elevators. They were talking together but when they reached Skye and Mary's floor first they said a quick goodnight to each other before the two left.

"Hopefully these twenty minutes go fast," Castle said, taking his wife's hand as their car continued.

"They will," Beckett said with a smile, her thoughts turning to their daughters as his were as well.

"Okay, dessert is here," Castle said as he came back from the bedroom. "And well hidden."

"I get the feeling their grandparents will get them something sweet anyway," Beckett commented with a smile as he sat on the couch next to her.

"True…" Castle said, looking at her phone as her text alert sounded.

"Okay," Beckett said after reading the message. "They're ready."

Castle grabbed his tablet and turned it on Skype before he was looking up at the TV with his wife in time to see their daughters appearing on the screen. "Hey girls," he said with a smile as they were waving frantically.

"Hi Mommy, Daddy!" Eliza said happily to them. "How are you at night?"

"Really good," Beckett replied, smiling herself. "What about you?"

"Good, it's not night yet but almost," Eliza explained. "And Josa said she misses you lots."

"Tell her we miss her too," Castle said as they could see the baby on Julia's lap. She was looking around, but not straight at the camera, and he said with a smile, "And give her a kiss for us."

Julia, doing so at that moment, smiled when her baby sister squealed in reaction and she said, "She wishes you would do that for her in person."

"We'll see you soon sweetie," Beckett said, unable to help missing the baby at that moment. She shook herself and said, "How was school girls?"

After she had looked at her big sister, Eliza related what she had learned that day before her sister then told their parents about her day. "Dancing was really fun, and at the end Ms. Grey had a big surprise," she said when Julia had finished talking.

"Do you know it already?" the girl said when she saw their parents were looking at each other.

"Skye told us," Beckett said first.

"So… could I? Peter's mom was there and she said it was fine," Julia said.

"Of course," Castle said. "Just don't be nervous or anything."

"I won't," Julia said before she hesitated. "Did Skye tell you?" she said softly.

"About Freddie?" Beckett asked. When Julia nodded she smiled lovingly at the girls and said to them both, "She told us he talks to you."

"He came to see me first," Eliza said. "Grandmama said he wanted to talk to me about the video when he dresses like a girl." She beamed widely and said, "He was surprised 'cause I like it so much."

"And then he came to see me because Lizzy told me about that and he saw us dancing on DWTS," Julia added. "But… I did think in my head that I wanted to talk to him… and he came."

"What's he like?" Alexis asked.

Blushing Julia told their parents, "I told everyone but didn't say about that." She bit the inside of her mouth and then said, "He was really nice, I think he was surprised I could talk to him like I could. It wasn't for that long but I hope he'll come back soon."

"Be careful sweetie," Beckett suddenly told her.

"I know, my energy. Grandmama and Mamó came to see me and said I might have to wait a little bit," Julia said. "But I'll wait," she then said as she knew her mother would be worried about her then.

"Okay, then how was your day?" Beckett said, looking over at Alexis.

"It was good, two appointments today but they were really nice," the young woman replied, smiling at that moment. "And Louis is talking to his family right now if you're wondering about him."

"I texted Brennan, he welcomed us but let us have the day," Beckett replied.

"I think they want to know about our day," Castle said to his wife.

"It looks like it," Beckett said, smiling before they were telling their family about their day after they'd landed in London. She wasn't surprised when Julia and Eliza gasped at the news about the second music video for the tribute show and she was about to tell them the added news Skye had told her in the elevator before her father was asking about their time at Abbey Road.

"Are you still going to take pictures?" Jim said.

"I will, I'm not sure why but Paul did say he might want to put pictures from that in the booklet for the album," Beckett said, nodding.

"I wish we could go," Eliza said with a sigh.

"I know, I'm sorry sweetie," Beckett told her with a gentle smile. "But remember what Skye told us; that they're going to take some time and they may have more than one song."

"What about Queen?" Eliza asked.

Squeezing her sister's arm Julia said gently, "If I dance at the concert we'll see them there."

"Oh… cool!" Eliza said eagerly after thinking about that for a moment.

"There is one thing more though," Castle said before he looked over at his wife.

"They want me to take some pictures," Beckett said. "At the tribute concert and the music videos." She held her hand up before the girls could say anything and told them, "I know I'm going to be in one; but there your dad will take pictures."

"How cool, but when is that?" Julia asked.

"I don't know, I'll find out from Skye when it's time to film," Beckett said as she'd asked her friend the same thing.

"Could we go see?" Eliza asked.

"I'll need to wait and see," Beckett said gently. "I don't know yet if your dad will be able to go but I'll ask when it's almost time." She then squeezed her husband's arm and said, "We need to go but we'll try and call around this same time tomorrow."

"It's not too late?" Martha asked.

"No, we're fine for tomorrow," Castle said, not surprised his mother had said that. "But I'm guessing the girls have homework?"

"Just a little," Julia said, letting Alexis take their baby sister. "So we need to say goodnight?"

"We do," Beckett said first. "But again, we'll call you guys tomorrow to see how things go." She smiled with her husband when the girls agreed to that and they started saying goodnight to their family members before he was turning off the connection. "The coffee?" she asked him as he was getting up to set the tablet by the TV.

"I haven't made it yet," Castle replied easily, squeezing her shoulder. "Do you want it here or in the bedroom?"

"Bedroom," Beckett said simply. She wasn't surprised when he nodded and she got up from the couch, walking into the bedroom off the living room. She went over to the window and removed the few decorative objects that were there so she could sit, looking out on the river and the London Eye.

"Okay?" Castle asked when he'd had their mugs of coffee ready to bring to her.

"I am," Beckett reassured him. "I'm just regretting we didn't somehow work it out for the girls to come with us."

"Me too," Castle said with a nod. "Though Julia did say they didn't mind."

"Eliza too," Beckett said with a smile, knowing he'd said it like that so she would admit both their middle daughters had been fine with them leaving sooner.

"And they seem happy," Castle said, studying his wife closely as he was sitting next to her on the sill, facing her.

"I know, they want us to stay on our own," Beckett replied with a smile. "And we will. But right now I'd like to say that are you sure about taking pictures?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine," Castle said though he was startled at her frown that appeared suddenly. "What?" he asked.

"You need to take pictures of the others; not just me," Beckett answered.

Smiling, Castle said, "I know, I already thought of that and I'll make sure I take pictures of the others too." He studied her closely before he reached up to her and said, "I kind of wish we had our camera with us."

"Pervert," Beckett said with a smile. She hadn't said that loudly as he was leaning into her and they were shortly after kissing. She had to be careful with her mug of coffee and recalling that she pulled away reluctantly. "We should finish," she said.

"Yeah," Castle said, having to work through his daze of pleasure to realize what she was talking about. He looked down at his mug for a moment then took a sip before he realized it was cold already. "Do you still want yours?" he asked her.

Shaking her head, Beckett watched her husband take the mugs to the other room before she stood. She looked out the window and continued to before she felt Castle's arms wrap around her from behind. "How quietly did you close the door?" she asked as she'd found the bedroom door was closed when she glanced over her shoulder.

Kissing the top of her shoulder, Castle didn't answer for a moment before he moved away and said, "Apparently enough to surprise you. What're you thinking love?"

"Nothing really just…" Beckett started to say before she shrugged.

"Are you tired?" Castle said, hoping his concern that that was the case didn't seep into his tone.

"No," Beckett said, turning around. She wrapped her arms around her husband and said, "That kiss was nice."

"It was," Castle said hurriedly, realizing what she wanted. He reached for her face, cupping it before he leaned down and kissed her gently. He didn't let that last for long before he murmured, "Would you like to get a little more comfortable?"

Beckett's response was a nod and as her husband was taking off his blazer she was removing her own before she let him take them both to the closet. She smiled when he started to walk back to her but turned to the window, drawing the curtains closed over it before his hands were gently gripping her shoulders. Looking over her shoulder at him she said softly, "I don't want anyone seeing you."

"And I really don't want anybody seeing you," Castle said firmly. He leaned down and kissed at the side of her neck before he asked, "Can I?"

"Let me," Beckett replied, smiling as she turned around to face him. She took the ponytail holder off her hair and wasn't surprised when her husband's hands were quick to help the locks all the way down. Tossing the band aside she said as she looked back at him, "Kiss me again?"

"Any time you want," Castle replied before he literally swept her up into his embrace to hold her tightly to him. They were kissing shortly after and he wondered if his wife wanted him to go slowly with that. But her tongue was sweeping along his lower lip shortly after and he was allowing her into his mouth. He had no idea how long that lasted, only that he was breathless and moving back before she was cupping his face as she whispered to him.

"You should sit," Beckett said. She wasn't surprised when her husband looked confused and she bit at her lower lip to keep from laughing before he took her hand. She let him lead her over to the bench that was at the end of the bed and waited for him to sit down.

Castle was slightly startled when his wife suddenly sat on his lap but pushed it aside as they were kissing again. They held onto each other while they were doing that and he realized he could feel her breasts against his chest through their clothes. Though they were covered he couldn't help his arousal and he did his best to kiss her harder but it eventually became too difficult. With his wife moaning he kissed his way over her jaw before he went down to her neck. He could feel her pulse racing beneath his lips and he did his best to focus on her as he gently sucked at her skin. He was shuddering as he pulled away and then moved back so he could look at her blouse.

Beckett held herself still as her husband was carefully unbuttoning the first ones on her shirt, watching the look on his face as he was opening it enough to just reveal her breasts. She couldn't help feeling touched at the intense expression on his face as he stared at her skin that was bare and she reached up to cup his cheek. When he was looking up into her eyes she smiled and then bowed her head to kiss him gently on the lips. "Here," she said then, reaching up to take care of the rest of the buttons. When her blouse was opened she held her breath as her husband leaned down, kissing around the tops of her breasts. When he tried to get further down she bit at her lower lip a little hard and she carefully had him pull away.

Before his wife could say or do anything, Castle reached up and cupped her mounds through her pale blue bra. When her hands were grabbing his he looked up at her and saw that she was tense which made him move to her lips again. They were kissing one another passionately at that moment, tongues tangling together and his hands reaching around to her back so he could open her bra. As soon as he felt it coming unhooked he moved away from her so the silk and lace could come off though he was startled to see her blouse was still in place.

"Help me," Beckett said, reaching for his shirt. They both worked to get it open and she let him remove it himself before she then took off her blouse and let him help her with her bra. Since he was tossing it aside, she had the chance to caress his chest which she was doing with one hand. She lightly brushed her fingers over his nipples and watched him freeze as he hissed loudly at the same time. She smiled and then leaned over, brushing her lips against his before she moved back and ran her nails gently over his scalp. "We should finish," she told him, suddenly anxious to get onto the bed.

"Hold on," Castle said, not surprised she looked taken aback. Before she could say anything he was leaning over, capturing her lips with his own and kissing her deeply. When they slowly parted he stood with her in his arms and he moved around the end of the bed to the side so he could set her down in the middle. Since he'd already kicked away his shoes he immediately climbed up on the mattress with her, kissing the second he could reach her lips. They were passionate that time and though they'd started out going slowly he was reaching for the fly of her trousers, opening it with one hand before she was ending their third kiss.

"Do you want me to get up?" Beckett asked him.

Shaking his head, Castle kissed her again before he moved away so he could reach for her trousers. He pulled them off carefully with her help before he was doing the same to her panties as she raised her hips for him a second time. He tossed her clothing aside and then hurried back to her before they were kissing, though it didn't last long as she was pushing at his shoulders.

"Off the bed," Beckett told him. When her husband looked down at her she smiled and said, "I'll start you off," in explanation.

"Yeah," Castle said after he'd paused for a moment. He pushed himself off the mattress as she'd asked but then waited for her to follow him over so she could open the fly of his trousers. "Careful-" he started to say as she was pulling his boxers down on his hips.

"I know," Beckett said easily as she moved out of the way of his erection as it quickly moved to rest against his stomach. She bit her lower lip at the sight of that but moved out of the way of her husband, looking on as he removed the last of his clothes. She waited for him to rejoin her on the bed and as he was close to her said, "I was touching myself just now."

"Really?" Castle asked, hesitating for a moment as he wasn't sure at first what she wanted with that. But with the way she was holding her arms slightly behind her he figured it out and he moved to sit on his knees near her, reaching for her arms and holding her wrists behind her with one hand. "I never get the chance to put you under arrest," he said with a smile.

"Do you really want to now?" Beckett asked.

Castle leaned down and took his wife's lips, letting go of her wrists as he was doing that, pressing his hands to the small of her back before they were slowly parting. "I'd make a terrible cop," he commented with a smile as they looked into each other's eyes.

"Oh… I don't know," Beckett said, smiling herself. "I think you did enough just now."

"You won't touch yourself until after?" Castle asked her.

"After?" Beckett said in response. She wasn't surprised when his response was to kiss her and she went along with it before he pulled away and proceeded to kiss at her neck. Her eyes rolled back as he was feverish with those and she couldn't make an effort to protest as her husband was moving her onto her back. When she was laying in the middle of the bed again she wrapped her arms around her husband as he moved down to her shoulders. She moaned softly when he went back and forth over her upper chest then, and her eyes were rolling into the back of her head as he found her left breast first.

Pressing a few kisses there, Castle pulled back so he could stare at the mound though his eyes were drawn to her nipple. It was taut from his lips already and he leaned down again to kiss it straight on. He shuddered inwardly at the soft gasp from his wife but continued, parting his lips so he could take the nub into his mouth. He proceeded to suckle at it until he recalled her other breast and then reached up to gently fondle it with his free hand. He loved the way she was arching her back, moving under him, and he had to pull away so she wouldn't rub against his lower body and set him off.

Breathing a little hard, Beckett smiled at her husband for a moment as she could tell what he'd been going through. She reached up to him, touching his shoulders before she said, "Lay down."

A little startled, Castle found he couldn't protest and he was doing as she had ordered, laying where she had in the middle as she'd gotten up. "What're you going to do?" he said as she was staring at him.

Smiling, Beckett pushed her hair back before she leaned down and started to kiss at his chest. She did that a few times, focusing on his nipples after she'd kissed the rest of his skin for a while, and then let him move her onto her back. She was gasping when he suddenly slid down her body, making her reach to the back of his head which she held as he was kissing around the mound her sex made. A second later he was lapping gently at her clit and she couldn't stop the cry that left her throat as the pleasure seemed to explode from the nub. When he sucked at her a few times she cried out heavily before she was reaching down to touch his hair, begging him to stop.

"Too much?" Castle asked her, unable to help smiling at her while he moved to lay above her on his arms and knees.

"A little," Beckett replied, running her hands around his arms. She turned her attention to them, the muscles straining to hold himself up, and she caressed them a couple times before she looked into his eyes. "Fuck me lover," she breathed to him seriously.

"Goddess," Castle breathed before he lowered his head so they could kiss. As their tongues were rubbing against each other he pressed his lower body down onto hers and they were groaning together in joy at the sensation. That made them part and he moved again, sliding his erection in her with her help before they both paused. He stared into her eyes, seeing her pleasure there, and he moved so he could couple with her fully. It only took a moment and their hips were pressed against each other, making his breathing speed up slightly. Finally he was moving, thrusting slowly at first as a test and feeling her sex gripping him tightly he swore in Irish as she cried out.

"Oh… oh Rick I want you to fuck me," Beckett said in slight frustration when her husband paused again.

"I know, I just don't want to…" Castle began before he trailed off. "I don't want to finish before I can start."

"You won't," Beckett said reassuringly. "Just take me Rick," she said, not caring that she was begging him.

Though he was about to nod, Castle decided it wasn't necessary and he moved again. That time he thrust and did so hard the first few times before he stopped again. Before his wife could protest he was moving and setting up his rhythm though he knew it wasn't going to last. But he didn't let his mind linger on that, instead focusing on her and moving. It was a little dangerous doing that, as concentrating on the sensation of her drawing him in and then allowing him to pull away was quick to affect him. He knew he needed to do something else as well, and he lowered his head so he could kiss her deeply.

Responding to her husband the instant she felt his lips against hers, Beckett wrapped her arms around him a little tighter. Her legs were doing the same, though they'd been wrapped around him already, and she gasped as he thrust down a little hard against her clit. She was concerned he was going to push her too hard but he was moving still and being careful to avoid the swollen nub luckily. She kissed him back as he was doing that to her again and she ran her fingers through his hair that time repeatedly until he moved away and she could feel his lips moving against hers as he whispered to her huskily.

"Did you want to stop?" Castle asked. He thought she might be confused as to when he was referring to, but she luckily shook her head. He moved then, putting her above him before he held her by her hips to help her move. It was more so he could touch her as she had no problems with pushing herself up and down and he groaned as she rolled her head back in reaction to the friction that started up quickly between them. He slid his hands around to the small of her back, holding her tightly by it as he did his best to move with her. They started kissing shortly after that and were groaning again as her breasts were rubbing against his chest. When she suddenly broke away he thought for a moment that she wanted to switch positions with him but her hands were on the back of his head, making it bow down.

Beckett was relieved when her husband wasn't hesitating, going directly to her breasts and starting to stimulate them though it caused her to falter in her movement. She thought he might try to help her but it seemed he was busier with her chest so she was just barely moving while she watched him. His hands were cupping over her breasts and she leaned against him so they were more fully against his palms. She could hear his breathing growing rougher and it affected her in turn before he was moving them to her back. She waited with anticipation as he lowered his head again and when his lips kissed her right nipple she was squeezing her eyes shut tightly in joy. His tongue was quick to run against the taut nub and her eyes then rolled back though they were still closed and she realized she'd stopped moving completely.

Spending a bit more time on her breasts, Castle was startled when his wife was pushing him back gently and he was quick to look up at her. Studying her face he quickly discerned what she wanted and helped her lay down on her back again. He didn't hesitate, thrusting immediately before they were kissing again. He was moving as hard as he could but after a while he slowed down, going deliberately within her as she was gasping and almost clawing at his back. He did that four times in a row, then sped up and did that for some time until he slowed down again. He was alternating in his thrusts repeatedly, trying to make sure he and his wife would last for a little longer. Feeling her writhing underneath him, and the way her legs were moving as they were clutching at his waist, he whispered against her lips, "Are you going to come love?"

Nodding her head at first, Beckett took a moment before she was able to say, "I am… promise me you won't stop me…"

"I won't, I want to come too love," Castle told her, faltering a little in his speech as he was slowing down at that moment. He rolled his hips, groaning as his wife cried out as the sensation of him rolling around her walls clinging to him was intense. It led him to start thrusting fast and normally which made them both groan that time before he was leaning down and kissing her. He didn't let that last for long; though he was passionate; and he started to thrust harder and faster.

Crying out every time their hips were smacking together, Beckett had placed one of her feet down on the bed to use for leverage. It made the sound of their skin meeting louder, and it pushed her to go faster against him though it was difficult in her position. It made her gasp for air eventually, because he was suddenly reaching her clit and she let her legs fall open to help him. As he was groaning out that he loved her and didn't want to stop, she felt the tight ball of built up pleasure suddenly seem to release and her back was rigid as she called out her husband's name once. Her orgasm was strong and seemed to take over her entire body, but she was aware when her husband was joining her. Her eyes rolled back again, the sensation of his release intense within her and she half expected herself to climax again. She just managed to hold onto her consciousness as she came down from her high, but she could still feel her body throb as she was limp beneath her husband. She forced herself to wrap her arms around him as he continued, groaning her name repeatedly, and feeling his last thrust she gasped but then held herself still to wait for him to recover as she was doing the same.

Though he'd intended to speak to his wife, when Castle pulled away from her to look down at her he was kissing her shortly after. He buried his tongue into her mouth, tangling around hers before they were rubbing together a little frantically. He groaned as her hands soon started to rub his back and he let the warmth from her touch flood through his body until he needed to pull away. Smiling at her briefly he leaned down and kissed her gently before he pressed his forehead against hers. "That was incredible," he told her.

"I'm glad you thought that," Beckett murmured. She wasn't surprised when her husband pulled back a little to look down at her and she smiled before she said, "You did most of the work."

"I enjoy that work," Castle said seriously.

"Pervert," Beckett said wryly before she pressed on the back of his head so he would lean down to her. Once they'd finished kissing she said, "Lie down." She did her best not to laugh as he was quick to do that, but he was careful as he withdrew from her. She moved to lay against his side before she noticed he was raising his head from his pillow. "What is it?" she asked him as she was watching him.

"We forgot to eat dessert," Castle commented. He looked on while his wife raised her own head, glancing to the dresser where the plate with their slice of sachertorte was. He was startled when she started to get up and he rushed to do the same before he got off the bed first.

"I was going to get it Rick," Beckett told her husband in protest.

"It's not a problem," Castle said simply. He grabbed the plate before he walked back to his wife, handing it to her and watching as she took one of the two forks off the plate and set it aside. "You know we're sharing this right?" he asked her as he climbed on the bed with her.

"I do," Beckett said easily as she was breaking off a piece of the cake. She waited for him to open his mouth and she fed him the piece before she said, "And we still are."

"Here," Castle said, reaching for the plate. He took it from her and got another piece which he then fed to her. They went through almost the whole slice before he set aside the fork and then picked up the piece he'd cut off before that.

"Rick," Beckett said warningly before he fed the piece to her. She stared at him as she ate it off his fingers, kissing the tips gently before she ate and then told him, "I love you."

"I love you too Kate," Castle said seriously, staring at her that time. He leaned into her and kissed her, tasting the chocolate and slight flavor of apricot on her tongue. When they parted he smiled and asked, "Should we finish this?"

"We should," Beckett replied before she watched him get more of the cake. She did the same and they fed each other at the same time before they were leaning into each other for another kiss. When they parted she was a little startled when her husband turned her around onto her back and she lay there while she waited to see what he wanted to do.

Splitting the last of the cake, Castle let her take one piece before he ate it off her fingers. He fed her the piece that he had, getting some of the chocolate that was on the outside on his fingers before he reached down to her right breast.

"You made a mess," Beckett said simply before she watched him lick his thumb. "And give me your hand."

Looking down at her in mock surprise, Castle gave it to her, shuddering when he felt her licking at his index finger to get it clean. When she had finished he pulled his hand away and said, "I still made a mess."

"I know, I had to take care of that though," Beckett replied easily, smiling at him. She then became serious as he lowered himself to her and she was swiftly moaning as her husband was licking gently at the chocolate on her skin. She watched him the best she could, placing her hands on his back and holding him there before she said, "You still didn't finish," though by then he was long since done.

"Love," Castle breathed out against her skin before he moved to press his lips to her mound. He went all around it before he was drifting over to the other and doing the same there. When he had he pulled away enough to look at her and he said, "I want you Kate."

"I need you Rick," Beckett told him seriously, grabbing for him.

Castle moved to get on top of his wife and with her goading him on he entered Beckett and they began to fuck each other roughly. They were fast and didn't stop until they had spent themselves completely and were still on the bed, breathing hard as they were recovering slowly. After a while he moved, lying next to her before he gathered her in his arms and they kissed deeply.

Beckett smiled at the way her husband nuzzled her nose with his when they'd stopped and she murmured, "I am glad we're alone now."

"Me too," Castle said, gently rubbing his hand up and down her side. He kissed her again and when they'd parted said, "I can't wait for tomorrow night."

"We haven't even finished tonight yet," Beckett said in amusement.

"No pervert comment?" Castle asked as he ran his finger over her collarbone.

"It was implied," Beckett said easily as she smiled. She wasn't surprised when her husband kissed her and she was going along with it swiftly before their tongues were rolling around each other. She let Castle move her onto her back and she smiled at him before they kissed again. She wasn't surprised when they slipped easily into making love and were far slower that time. She very quickly lost track of time as she felt him literally worshiping her body and when she orgasmed it was as euphoric as the previous two times, knowing he felt the same when he followed her. As she held him when they had come down from their high she smiled and turned her head, kissing the side of his.

"Thank you love," Castle said, looking down at her as he'd raised his head. "Let me move," he said when she wasn't letting him go.

Sighing, Beckett reluctantly let go of him and watched him get up before he got off the bed. She smiled when he got some water for them, taking the glass as he came back to the bed. She shared a kiss with him before they parted and she took a sip while Castle was caressing her front as he murmured against her ear.

"I don't want to stop Kate," Castle told her earnestly. Before she could speak he pressed a kiss to the skin underneath her ear, smiling when she shivered slightly.

"I don't either," Beckett replied easily, handing the glass to him. She watched him while he was drinking the water then and she leaned over, kissing at his jaw a few times before he leaned over to set the glass aside. She was ready for him when he came back to her, wrapping her arms around him tightly as they kissed, their tongues meeting. She caressed the back of his head when they parted and felt him going to her neck, kissing gently at it before he drifted to her shoulder. "Rick," she breathed in pleasure as he was sucking at the junction between her neck and collarbone.

Doing that for a little longer, Castle forced himself back before he reached up and gently brushed her hair behind her ear. He knew he should speak but found he couldn't really do so and he merely leaned down, pressing his forehead against hers. It took him another minute but he was finally able to speak telling her, "I love you Kate, so much."

"I love you too Rick," Beckett said, reaching up and cupping his face in her hands. When he pulled away slightly to look at her she smiled and then pulled him to her so they could kiss. They were tilting their heads once his tongue was in her mouth and gently rubbing against each other until they were wrapping their arms around one another tightly. She was so involved with dueling against her husband's tongue that she gasped and ended their kiss when he was grasping her ass firmly and making her push herself up suddenly. As he was looking up at her she smiled and told him, "Want to show me how much you love me?"

"Repeatedly," Castle breathed out to her as he let his hands span the small of her back. He pushed himself up on his knees and kissed her again, roaming over her skin until she was trembling and then pulling away from him. He watched her in surprise as she was moving around to lay down and he was almost scrambling to follow her before he was kissing her again. Feeling her holding onto him he became more passionate until he was pulling away and smiling down at her before rubbing his nose against hers. "Goddess," he breathed lovingly to her.

"Love," Beckett whispered just as her husband was climbing on top of her and entering her gently. She sighed deeply in pleasure at the sensation of his desire for her filling her, and she was swift to wrap her legs around his waist to bring him closer to her.

When their hips met, Castle and Beckett stared into each other's eyes for a long time before he was moving, kissing her just as he began to thrust. They let themselves become lost in each other very quickly, holding tightly to one another as they proceeded to explore the bed with one another. They found they couldn't stop for long, and it was only a need for sleep that stopped them though they stayed close, arms wrapped around each other as they dreamt of one another intently through to the next morning.
