"Mommy," Eliza said.
"Yes sweetie?" Beckett asked as she was putting mascara on.
"When are you gonna put on your jewelry?" Eliza asked.
"Soon, I need to get dressed first okay?" Beckett told her, looking at her reflection in the mirror.
"Okay, but I can't wait," Eliza said.
"I know, go with your sisters so they're not by themselves," Beckett told her.
Nodding, Eliza hurried back out into her parents' bedroom and saw Julia was still on the bed with Josie and playing with her new toy. She hurried up onto the bed and after she'd climbed on it, she asked, "What are you playing?"
"Dinosaurs," Julia replied, holding up their baby sister's new toy. "Tigger's a T-Rex."
"Ooh, that's scary," Eliza said to the baby who was soon smiling at her. "I want to play too."
"Well… we don't have another toy," Julia said since she had only been using the two.
"I can make my fingers into people," Eliza said suddenly. "I get to play with your Titanosaur," she said to Josie.
After the baby had vocalized Julia said, "Sure, let's start 'cause I'm sure Mom will be finished soon." She handed the Titanosaur to Josie and then said, "Let him go around and eat the grass. Remember?" She held out her hand and wriggled her fingers saying, "Let him eat the leaves." When Josie started to wave the stuffed toy back and forth, she had to move her fingers out of the way but managed before she whispered to her other sister, "The people," before Eliza nodded and she watched her to see what she'd do.
"La, la, la, I get to go with the dinosaurs," the little girl was saying in a singsong tone of voice as she walked her index and middle fingers across the top of the bed. Eliza went to the toy and pretended to pet it, smiling with her sister as Josie started to laugh at that. "Is Tigger going to play?" she asked.
"Yeah, wait," Julia said quickly before she let the other two play a little longer. She then brought out the Tigger doll and gave a little growl so she wouldn't scare them.
"Oh no!" Eliza said in a very gentle tone; also so she wouldn't scare Josie. "It's the T-Rex we hafta go!" She had to help Josie move the dinosaur toy she had but finally pretended to make her fingers ride the dinosaur as she moved it away, Julia chasing her around the bed. She soon had to stop as she was laughing too hard and she soon rolled onto her back saying, "That was fun."
"Yeah," Julia said with a nod. And with that she immediately started to tickle her sister, Eliza crying out in laughter while Josie was squealing and then laughing herself.
"Oh! Stop, you're tickling me!" Eliza was able to say through her laughter.
"Sorry, it's fun to do that," Julia said, stopping and then helping her sister sit up.
"I wish my neck wasn't like that," Eliza said with a smile. She then frowned and said, "Where's Mommy?"
"I'm here girls," Beckett said, walking fully into the room as she'd been watching the girls a little hidden so they wouldn't spot her.
"You look pretty Mommy," Eliza said after Josie squealed in joy at seeing her.
"I'm only wearing my robe sweetie, I need to change first," Beckett replied though she was smiling. She leaned over the bed and kissed the top of Josie's head before she shared one with Julia and Eliza. "I need to get dressed so keep watching your sister," she told them as she went over to the closet.
"We'll keep her safe," Eliza said firmly.
"Thank you," Beckett said, smiling and trying not to laugh at the way Julia was looking at her little sister. She ducked inside and got her robe off as she listened to her daughters playing again with their baby sister. She was still smiling as she could hear them when she stepped out, she motioned to Julia who soon looked at her.
"Hold Josa," Julia told her little sister.
"Sure," Eliza said, knowing their mother needed her help.
"This dress is so, so pretty Mom," Julia said when she was inside the closet. She reached up to the back of her dress and after she'd zipped it up she said, "You should wear it again. What about in Tahiti?"
Turning around to her daughter Beckett said in amusement, "You know it's not really going to work there."
"Still, you should wear- Adare!" Julia said before she cut herself off with a gasp and then exclaimed the last.
"I was thinking of doing that," Beckett said with a smile. "So thank you."
"Good, do you need to go?" Julia asked.
Beckett was about to answer when she then heard her husband's voice outside in the bedroom and she walked out with Julia to find him lying on the bed. "Rick, you're going to mess your tuxedo up," she said though she was smiling.
"I won't," Castle replied easily, letting Josie play with his fingers. "But we need to go, don't we?"
"So do they," Beckett replied as she went to the bed to pick up Josie.
"I can take her Mom," Julia said as she hurried after her.
"Let me hold her until you guys need to go," Beckett said with a smile at her. She kissed Josie's cheek and then lips saying, "We'll see you tomorrow sweetie. I love you."
Castle, who'd put on his blazer, reached for the baby and kissed her saying, "She's right, we'll be back tomorrow and I really hope you have a great night with everyone else. I love you too sweetheart."
Walking out into the entry Beckett saw that the others were there and they started saying goodbye to them until she said, "We'll call before we drive out… we'll try not to be too late but-"
"Aren't you gonna stay up Mommy?" Eliza asked her.
"We're not sure," Castle answered before his wife could say anything. "We may but if it gets boring we might come home and get our sleep so we can get back home with you guys."
"We'll need to see," Beckett said, trying not to laugh as Eliza was pouting slightly.
"We'll see you tomorrow," Martha said. "Whenever that is. Enjoy your night."
Thanking the others, Beckett stood with Castle in the doorway looking down the hall before they were going around the corner to the elevators. When she stepped back in the loft she gasped when her husband wrapped his arms around her suddenly as soon as the door was closed. Before she could say a word, he was kissing her, gently on the lips at first before he suddenly made it passionate.
Castle wasn't sure how long he was doing that and only stopped once he knew they needed to take regular breaths. When they slowly parted, she sighed and he said, "I couldn't help myself," knowing he had her lipstick on his lips again.
"I'm not surprised, I should have waited," Beckett told him.
Shrugging Castle said, "I could have waited," a little startled when she laughed briefly.
"Sorry, I don't think either of us could have done that," Beckett told him. "Let me go love, we need to head downstairs."
Sighing, Castle reluctantly let her go and got his handkerchief from his back pocket while she was going back to their room. He wanted to follow her and watch her but schooled himself to stay in place which he pointed out to her when she walked back to him.
"I noticed, but that's only because we weren't going to have the opportunity to do much," Beckett told him with a smile. She squeezed his hand and said, "We have tonight back here so let's just enjoying dancing together."
"I will," Castle reassured her. He squeezed her hands back when she did so to him and he went to the entry closet where he got her wrap for that night. "It's a shame you didn't get the chance to wear that back in England."
"It's alright," Beckett said, her wrap white as well and going almost down to her knees. "I never went outside really so I was warm. Thank you," she said, telling him the last as he had handed her her white clutch purse.
"You're welcome," Castle replied, pulling on his coat before he buttoned it. When they were ready, he held his arm out to her and they left the loft together to head down to the front of the building before they spotted the limo they were sharing with the Fosters and Davises.
"Good evening," David said with a smile at the pair as they settled on their seat. "You guys look great."
"Luckily no one else there is going to know that we were wearing these same dresses at the ball last week," Lily commented.
"That reminds me," Rebecca said. "What happened to Skye and Mary?"
"Skye got a case," Beckett explained, trying not to smile at the others all turning their heads towards her. "Just an incident but it's in San Francisco and she hasn't finished it yet."
"What?" Castle asked, startled at the others turning to him.
"Have you asked her to look for your house in Mill Valley?" Brad asked.
Making a face at him Castle said, "No, she's been talking mainly to Kate and she wouldn't have the chance to look either. She is working and I think it's better if she does that instead of going out of the city."
"Wow mature of you," Brad commented, laughing and getting his leg out of the way as his friend tried to kick at it.
"Rick," Beckett said, squeezing his hand to stop him.
Castle was about to speak when they could feel the limo stopping and he looked out to see that they'd reached the building where the ball was. "Here we go," he said to his wife as David and Rebecca was the first to leave the car. They waited for Brad and Lily to follow the mayor and his wife before they got out and walked down the red carpet. He could feel his wife's hand tighten on his arm as pictures were being taken of them and looked at her, knowing she wasn't enjoying the media. But they were soon inside, and he said, "You'll look amazing in those pictures."
"I don't care," Beckett replied as she was taking off her wrap with his help. "I think what matters more if you're alright with how I look."
Smiling at her Castle said in Irish, "More than alright, you had me on my back when I saw you. I was stunned."
Though she was tempted to remind him he was playing with their baby girl, Beckett merely smiled and hugged him tightly before the others were getting their attention. She murmured to him in Irish; as they were walking to the ballroom; "Thank you, and you still look delectable."
Doing his best not to stumble at that, Castle was relieved when they walked into the large room without issue and made it to their table. He was just holding his wife's chair out for her when they heard someone calling her name.
Since there were so many people inside the room Beckett couldn't determine who it was and she assumed it was the boys. She turned and smiled before she saw who exactly it was, and she picked up the skirt of her gown slightly to walk over to him the best she could in her heels as he was speaking while she neared.
"I'm so, so happy to see you," Darnley said, picking his friend up and spinning her once when they had reached one another.
"So am I," Beckett said, embracing him as tightly as she could. "December seems like a long time ago."
"It was, way too long," Darnley replied before he let her go. "Wow you look… what word can I use?"
"Rick's used most of them," Beckett said wryly as she knew her friend was using that to see how her husband had reacted. "Last week and tonight."
"Good, then my job as older brother is done," Darnley said jokingly.
Rolling her eyes, Beckett was quick to embrace him again though it was short as she was turning her attention to her friend's husband. "I'm so glad to see you too," she said to Nkosi as they exchanged a hug.
"And I am as well," the investigator replied. "Also because Patrick was anxious to reach you."
"Hey, we're close," Darnley said, looking at the two after he'd shaking Castle's hand. "Oh wait, one last thing for the big brother routine," he said suddenly.
"She's happy and I'm not mistreating her in any way," Castle commented.
"Now my job's done," Darnley said, clapping his hands together once.
"Go to the table you nut," Beckett said jokingly, playfully pushing his shoulder though without much force. She squeezed it as they walked over to the other two couples and she went to her husband while the pair was greeting the Fosters and Davises.
"Was I presumptive?" Castle asked her in Irish.
"You already know the answer," Beckett told him, glancing at him from the corner of her eye.
Castle's response to that was to take his wife's hand and kiss the back of it before he helped her to her seat. He was just about to sit himself before Brad was directing their attention to the entry of the room. Looking over his shoulder he saw that it was the boys and Jenny and he said to his wife, "I almost forgot Lanie and Dylan weren't coming."
"I know," Beckett said with a smile before she stood and went over to the three with him. "Gates?"
"She's coming in," Esposito said as she was hugging him briefly. "And will probably keep coming since she's friends with the mayor."
Nodding Beckett said, "You saw the baby?"
"Miles? We did," Ryan replied as he hugged her.
"He's adorable," Jenny commented.
"You went in to see him too?" Castle asked.
Shaking her head Jenny said, "They want us to go over to their place later this week, Kevin took a picture for me."
"How're your boys doing?" Beckett asked.
"Great, Tommy's getting so tall," Jenny said with a smile. "And Danny's starting to shadow his brother."
"Any problems between them?" Castle asked.
"No but we're watching them to make sure," Ryan replied.
"And your girls? How's Alexis?" Jenny asked.
Talking with the three about their family and their trip to White Mount, Beckett wasn't surprised to see a slight frown on Esposito's face when she and Castle stopped talking about their case. "What is it?" she asked him.
"You worked overseas?" Esposito said.
"Sort of," Castle said, realizing then why the detective had been frowning. "We were there in a really limited capacity and Mercer mostly spoke with Brennan… and Kate."
"I don't think it's going to happen again, and it wasn't a murder anyways," Beckett said.
"Are you jealous?" Ryan asked his partner.
"No, just confused how that happened," Esposito said.
Noticing the other guests were moving to sit down Beckett said, "I want to ask about Gates later."
"Yeah," Esposito said, Ryan nodding next to him before they went to sit at their table.
Once he and Beckett were set back with the others Castle said, "It feels empty."
"Don't mention that to Skye," Beckett told him hurriedly. "She felt horrible not being able to bring Mary."
"Does she enjoy it at all herself?" Nkosi asked.
Beckett couldn't reply to that as the mayor was stepping up to the microphone set up by the main table and she took her husband's hand as they listened to her speech. When it was finished shortly after she gave him a slight smile before turning back to her friend's husband. "She does but only because Mary's there," she finally answered him.
"Yeah, you two would definitely be fraternal twins," Lily commented.
Rolling her eyes Beckett said, "She said she'd make it up to Mary in Spain."
"Why not Mexico City? You guys are going there first, aren't you?" Darnley asked. He was surprised when his friend looked uncertain then and looked to her husband.
"It's the investigation they're going to do with Ghost Adventures," Castle explained. "It might be draining."
"Huh," Darnley said, looking at Beckett. "She is going still, right?"
Before her husband could answer the dinner was being served and Beckett took the opportunity to tell her friend, "I am, not happily but apparently I'll have to shake that before the island."
"Especially for the girls," Rebecca commented.
"They'll be fine," Beckett assured her.
"She's right, and Skye does know what she's doing," Castle said.
Beckett was relieved when the subject changed to their kids and they were walking about Maddy and Keo first. "She's going to start school this fall?" she asked her friend.
"Yeah," Darnley grumbled.
"He does not like the idea," Nkosi said in amusement. He squeezed his husband's arm and told him, "I don't either, but they must have an education."
"How're your parents taking it?" Castle asked, recalling the two watched their grandchildren while the fathers were working.
"They're okay with it, they raised Trev to think education is important," Darnley began. "It is but I don't want them to grow up. What about Alexis?"
Beckett couldn't help laughing and said, "I guess our kids are next?"
"She's the only one of the group engaged," Brad commented, smiling when his friend glanced at him.
Castle didn't comment about that and was telling the others about their tour of the house, Beckett helping him. They moved on to their three youngest; as that was all there was to talk about the newly engaged couple; and he squeezed his wife's hand in thanks before they were talking about Julia's next competition.
"You've seemed to have relaxed more," Beckett was saying. "Dancing with me."
"I'll point out I'm not trying to pretend we're together," Darnley replied easily.
Beckett laughed softly before saying, "That makes sense. What about tomorrow."
"Our flight's at eleven," Darnley answered, knowing what she wanted to know.
"Have breakfast with us?" Beckett asked him.
Nodding Darnley said, "Alright, I was hoping we could go somewhere with you."
"We're having it at the loft," Beckett informed him.
"Oh, great," Darnley said after thinking for a moment. The song they were dancing to ended and he said, "Let's hurry," starting to turn. When they had both done so he paused and then looked at his friend before saying, "Interesting."
"Take me over to him," Beckett replied, making sure she was smiling as she was walking up to their husbands who'd been dancing. "Everything okay?" she asked when they were close.
"Definitely," Nkosi replied before he took his husband's hand.
"Rick?" Beckett asked as her husband was looking to the side of the ballroom.
"Yeah… um, could we head back to the loft?" Castle asked.
Hearing the slight desperation in his voice; and with the fact that they'd been there for nearly three and a half hours; Beckett nodded and said, "We should start saying goodbye to everyone."
Castle held her hand, relieved she wasn't asking why he wanted to go, and they went back to their table where they found everyone else was preparing to leave as well. After they'd said goodbye to them, as well as Jenny and the boys, they went back in a taxi as David had been held back by the mayor of another town on Long Island for a talk. "Sorry about the limo," he said once they were on their way.
Shaking her head Beckett told him, "Don't worry, I just hope you'll talk to me once we're back home."
"I will," Castle said, wrapping his arm around her before they got closer to their building. He paid the cabbie hurriedly before going inside, smiling at the doorman's greeting before they were in an elevator on their own. "You're sure you didn't want to leave," he said to her.
"A little late asking me now," Beckett told him though she was smiling at the same time. She kissed his cheek and told him reassuringly, "I'm fine, to be honest I'm glad we're back."
"Me too," Castle said, smiling at her. He was just about to lean in to kiss her, but the car was stopping and the door was opening before they walked down to the loft.
Waiting until they were taking off their coat and wrap Beckett asked him, "Do we have any wine?"
"We should," Castle said with a nod, knowing what she wanted to do. He hung his coat and headed to the wine cooler before he studied what was still there. "White or red?" he called out to her as he knew she was in their bedroom hanging her wrap.
"White," Beckett replied as she walked out. While her husband was looking at the bottles, she went over to him and wrapped her arms around him from behind saying, "Let me pour."
"Sure," Castle said, finally deciding on a bottle and then handing it to her. While she got glasses for them, he was taking off his blazer before unknotting his bow tie and pulling it off. "Thanks," he said when she handed him one glass that was only slightly filled. They tapped them together and he took a sip, studying her as she was doing the same.
"Come here," Beckett told him gently and taking his free hand to pull him over to the tall table. She set down her glass and once her husband had done the same, she wrapped her arms around him murmuring, "Tell me love."
Sighing at her gentle tone Castle said, "It happened when you and Darnley were dancing."
"I think Maddy might want to do the same as me," Nkosi was telling him as they stood on the edge of the dance floor.
Castle was about to answer when he suddenly heard the word writer and paused, looking at the investigator as the group of men at a table behind them continued to talk.
"I don't know, you think she needs it?" one man said. "They're still married."
"Come on, as old as he is," another said with a groan. "She needs a long hard smash."
"And you're going to do that? Have you seen her t-"
"Rick, don't!" Nkosi said as Castle was about to turn. He was struggling since the writer was taller and heavier than he was, but a sudden idea came to him and he made him turn around before taking his hands.
"What're you doing?" Castle asked in surprise as the investigator was putting them into a dancing hold.
"Keeping you from going to jail," Nkosi said. "And luckily that worked," he said as he'd noticed the men had gotten up from the table.
Sighing when his wife was looking at him closely Castle said, "They weren't talking admiringly about your chest."
"That's not a surprise," Beckett said. "And while I don't like you getting into a fight, I appreciate you wanting to stop them from doing anything." She smiled when her husband nodded and she kissed his cheek before she said, "But we're alone now luckily and we don't need to worry about anyone else okay?"
"No," Castle replied, bringing her closer to him. He was tempted to kiss her before he paused and said, "Again, I love every aspect of you."
"I know," Beckett said. "And I feel the same about you." She wasn't surprised when her husband kissed her and she hurriedly kissed him back, holding him tightly until they needed to breathe. They continued, running their hands over one another until she could have sworn her body was literally burning. Pressing her forehead against his she whispered, "I wanted one last dance Rick."
Though he didn't want to let her go, Castle figured out how he could keep from doing that and he wrapped his left arm around her tightly while he was grabbing his phone with his right. Feeling his wife's arms wrapping around him he knew she didn't mind and he started some Coltrane playing before setting the phone next to their glasses. He wrapped his arms around her once they stood and said, "It was a great night though; up until then."
"It was," Beckett said, pressing close against him while they swayed. She then smiled and said, "You know I saw them looking at me."
"Those men?" Castle asked his wife. He felt her nod and then said, "When did you see them?"
"Towards the end of the dance I was sharing with Patrick," Beckett said. "I get the feeling they walked around towards where we were, intending to dance with me."
"Yes…" Castle started to say.
"I wouldn't have said yes," Beckett reassured him.
"No, I realized," Castle said swiftly. "I'm just thinking of how stupid they were."
"In many ways," Beckett said. She wasn't surprised when her husband nodded, or when they moved into each other to kiss again. That one was very gentle, and they were lingering for a while before needing to part. "I love you Rick," she said as she pulled away to look into his eyes.
"I love you too Kate," Castle said seriously. He ran his hands along her back and breathed out hard saying, "How much longer."
Beckett's response to that was to turn to his phone and shut off the music, walking back to him and kissing him deeply on the lips. When they needed to breathe, she felt his lips going down to her neck and she breathed out a little harder as he pressed at her skin. When he moved around back up to her lips, she cupped his face in her hands so he would stop and she looked into his eyes. She felt a slight tremble going through her body as he was staring at her intently and she wrapped her arms around his neck before her husband was suddenly picking her up. She let out a short cry of surprise and then laughed briefly before she said, "I didn't want you to do that."
"Oh… put you down?" Castle asked her.
"Please," Beckett replied. Once her feet were back on the floor, she took her husband's hand and tugged him over to the couch where she nodded to the chez lounge part. "Sit," she told him as he looked uncertain.
"Sure," Castle said slowly before he toed off his shoes and got onto the couch. Seeing she was going to climb on his lap he was prepared for her and then pulled her onto him. Holding her closely as he pressed his forehead to her temple he said, "I wish I would have asked us to come back sooner."
"Pervert," Beckett told him, knowing he was joking. She kissed his forehead and said, "But I'm enjoying this."
"So am I," Castle said, reaching for the fabric that fell from the backs of the dress' straps and letting it slip over his hand. "I can't get over how great you looked in this," he told her seriously as he then touched the sapphires on her neck.
Biting her lower lip, Beckett watched as her husband moved his hand around to her front and then slipped it underneath the strap over her right shoulder. "I'll wear it again for you," she told him, not surprised when he looked up at her.
"Really?" Castle said. When she nodded, he smiled and said, "Thank you, but please wear it when you want to."
"I will," Beckett replied, leaning over and kissing him gently. After she pulled away, she told him, "Let's go to bed."
"Sure," Castle said with a nod before she was getting off him. He followed her over to their room and next to the bed he kissed her deeply before saying, "I wanted to carry you. Can we go back and do that again?"
Beckett couldn't help laughing at his tone of voice and she shook her head, reaching behind her to unzip her dress partially. She wasn't surprised when her husband stepped up to her and she was turning for him before he finished it and spread her dress so much that he was getting her straps off her shoulders.
"You didn't want that?" Castle asked slightly uncertainly when she turned around to him.
"It's a little too fast," Beckett said easily, pushing the straps back onto her shoulders. She stepped a little closer to him and then reached up for the buttons on his shirt, getting that open and out from his trousers. Before he could reach for it, she was opening his fly and stepped back to allow him to remove his pants.
"You now?" Castle asked hopefully as he was left in his boxers. He saw she was looking down at his groin and he was about to say her name when she was stopping him by reaching for her dress again.
"You have to let me admire," Beckett said simply to him.
"I'm not sure what you're admiring," Castle said. When he saw her brow furrow he explained saying, "It's just… bulgy."
"And I appreciate that," Beckett said.
"You find it arousing," Castle stated.
"Yes," Beckett said simply as she stepped out of her dress. She smiled when her husband was taking it, going into the closet where she could hear him hanging it up. As she looked over there, she couldn't help getting a glimpse of the full-length mirror he still had in the room and she called his name as she stood.
"Ye-es," Castle started to say before he dragged out the word when he stepped back into the bedroom to find his wife was naked and standing next to their bed. "Wait," he said in a rush.
At first Beckett was surprised when he wasn't moving but as he removed his boxers she smiled and then said, "What if I wanted those still on."
"I would have begged you to let me remove them," Castle said, tossing the silk aside.
"Constricting?" Beckett inquired as she stepped up to him.
"Incredibly tight," Castle replied, grunting in the middle of saying that as his wife was gripping his erection gently. "You're going to get me off," he warned her as she slid her hand up to the tip.
"I won't," Beckett said simply before she was running her finger over him and then moving her hand away. "I wanted to use that again," she said, nodding her head.
Following the direction she'd moved her head in Castle saw she was indicating the mirror and he breathed out hard before she was putting her hands flat on his chest. "We can but…" he started to say before he leaned down to his wife's ear.
Trembling as she felt his breath against her skin, Beckett listened to him before she smiled and said, "We've done that recently. But I think we can manage after the mirror." She continued to smile as he breathed out hard and she waited for him to move the mirror over to the wall next to his side of the bed before he was sitting and waiting for her to sit on his lap.
"We should have done this out on the couch," Castle couldn't help commenting as she was straddling his legs he had pressed together.
"Pervert," Beckett said, rocking once against him.
Grunting, as his erection was still against his stomach, Castle gasped out, "Weren't you supposed to get that inside you?"
"Are you telling me what I should do?" Beckett teased him, looking in the mirror at his reflection behind her.
"Yes!" Castle gasped as she got back up and reached behind her for him. He nearly wheezed when her fingers curled around him again and he almost moved with her as she pulled his length off his skin. He stopped himself when he abruptly realized what he was doing and he grabbed her hips as she rose above him, letting her get the tip of him inside of her.
Moving her hand away, Beckett was very careful in lowering her body, not wanting to slam down on him. She moved carefully so her legs would be on either side of his and once she was sure of her balance and him sheathed firmly within her she let herself look at the mirror. She didn't realize her husband was watching her, so she couldn't help gasping a bit as he reached up to her breasts while he whispered into her ear huskily.
"Can you see enough love?" Castle asked.
Nodding her head Beckett was somehow able to say, "C-can you?"
"Yes," Castle breathed against the back of her shoulder. He could suddenly feel her hand reaching in between their legs and he thought she might start touching what she could around his groin. But when her hand was trying to slip between his legs, he warned her saying, "You'll have to spread yours m-more."
Though she wanted to smile at her husband's stammer, Beckett only reached for his right knee and squeezed it firmly. When she heard him muttering that she was a vixen and then spreading his legs apart enough she reached down again. She cupped underneath his length and gently squeezed as he was cursing heavily and she cried out sharply in response as he jerked up against her slightly. She moved her hand shortly after that and reached up to where they were coupled. She could feel where he disappeared into her and she watched her fingers in the mirror and with the way her husband's hands were gripping her tighter she knew he could see too. Finally, she couldn't wait and she reached behind her and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Her first thrust was steady; the floor under her feet providing her leverage; and they were both gasping out in pleasure as it was quick to send a bolt of sensation through them. She then proceeded to move more steadily and in a rhythm that was a little slow at first, knowing by her husband grasping her hips that he wasn't sure about it.
Castle trusted his wife, but he desperately wanted to feel her more than he was, and he did his best to move in unison with her so he'd have a little distraction from that. When she suddenly grabbed his hands and put them up on her breasts, he was immediately fondling them though he found he was a little clumsy as he was using the mirror to help him. But she seemed to be enjoying it and every time she pressed back against him he was grunting as she ended up tugging his member and adding to their friction. Eventually he couldn't take it anymore and he groaned against the side of her head, "Please my love I want us to fuck," hoping she wouldn't be angry.
"You'll have to help me," Beckett said, rocking her hips against him carefully.
"I will," Castle whispered to her.
Bracing herself, Beckett then started to move up and down as hard and fast as she could, and she was crying out her husband's name while he was responding to her. She could hear their skin slapping together loudly and her eyes rolled into the back of her head at the sensation of him firmly within her, rubbing her continuously. Her entire body was on fire and every inch of it felt hypersensitive, so much so that when her husband's hands came to cup over her breasts, she wasn't sure how she wasn't climaxing fully. "Oh… oh god Rick I…" she gasped out to him, stumbling in her pace.
"Don't worry," Castle panted to her, holding her tightly to him. "Stay still… just for a little," he said as he was nuzzling the side of her neck.
Trying her best to get her breath back, Beckett closed her eyes while Castle was kissing around her collarbone and neck. "You… Rick I want more than just this."
"I know, we will," Castle said, doing his best not to think about how his erection was throbbing. "But I wanted to be able to do this…"
Beckett was a little surprised when her husband was suddenly caressing her, and she bit her lower lip hard as she was watching his hands. In the mirror she saw him beginning with her breasts, lightly stroking at them before his fingers were focusing on her nipples. She gasped when he lightly pinched at her before twisting them gently and she arched against him a little hard. When he moved his hands down her eyes closed as she was letting the sensation of them sliding over her fill her body. When he reached her sex, they shot back open and then rolled back as he had lightly touched her clit before he was rubbing at it more firmly and didn't stop.
Listening to his wife gasping, moaning and crying out at his touch Castle was fighting himself to not pull her off him and throw her down on the bed to pound her into the mattress. He did that for a bit longer until finally he had to stop, and he breathed out to his wife saying, "Kate, I want to fuck you."
The strain in her husband's voice was equal to what she was feeling at that moment, so Beckett started to move immediately before they were doing it together. She could feel him trying to match her and she reached back for him so he was close to her. She didn't try to keep track of time at that moment, instead focused on bringing them to their final peak. When she found it first, she managed to cry out to her husband, "Oh… Rick… I… I can see your cock so deep in my pussy… don't stop… Rick!" She tried to watch where they were coupled in the mirror, but it became too difficult and she had to close her eyes to withstand everything going through her entire body, ecstasy making her burn in joy.
"My fucking goddess I'll… I won't stop taking you, make you beg me to stop," Castle groaned just before he was joining her. "Kate…" he groaned out hard just as his own orgasm was hitting him and he was holding onto her harder. He felt a sense of relief but also complete delight at reaching his peak and he did his best to follow her until she was slowing down in front of him. When she stopped, he held onto her body and did his best to continue as he was still thrusting. He wasn't sure how long it took after she had stopped but once he'd given her a last thrust, he was breathing roughly though he couldn't help kissing around her shoulders and back that he could reach.
When she felt her husband was settled enough Beckett reached to the back of his head and cupped it asking, "Can you move?"
"I can," Castle assured her before he let her go so she could get up. He was pleased to hear her groan as well when he slipped out of her and was going to stand up before she stopped him.
Reaching down to his erection, Beckett lightly fingered it and told him, "Thank you."
"Thank yourself," Castle was quick to respond. "It's only like that because of you." He felt a thrill race through him at her smile and he stood up immediately, pulling her against his chest and kissing her deeply. When they finally parted, he let her go over to the bed before she lay on it in the middle and he hurried to follow her so they could kiss again. He had no idea how many times they did that, but when they stopped his lips were throbbing and she was caressing his back. "Goddess," he breathed to her before they were kissing again.
When they finally pulled away from one another Beckett lightly ran her nails over his scalp before she told him, "I'm ready for more."
"Me too, but about my idea… no need for it," Castle said firmly.
"Alright but we can do it later tonight," Beckett said, a little surprised as he'd asked if they could be together on their knees on the floor at the end of the bed.
"If we decide we want to leave here," Castle said, laying on his back before she was going to him and pressing against his side. He held her to him with one arm and his other hand was under his head as he said, "We can cuddle for a while," looking at her.
Smiling Beckett leaned up and kissed him before she murmured, "Not for long."
"You want me love?" Castle asked her seriously, staring into her eyes.
"Repeatedly," Beckett breathed to him before he was moving so they could kiss again. They were doing that for some time, and she felt her body aching by the time they parted and she whispered to him when they parted, "Fuck me lover, I want to feel you pounding my back into the bed."
"You want my cock?" Castle asked her, nuzzling her lips with his.
"As deep inside my pussy as you can," Beckett told him. She wasn't surprised when he flipped her onto her back at that moment and she was kissing him hard as she could feel his erection against her again. When they finally forced themselves to stop, she was getting herself settled back on the bed and spreading her legs wide while they were using their hands to guide him to her sex. As he slid into her carefully at first, she was digging her fingertips into his back a little as it set off jolts of pleasure running through her sex and up her body. She was breathing hard when he paused before he was fully within her and when he then rammed into her she cried out in joy and was wrapping her legs around him tightly.
Before his wife could tell him to start Castle was thrusting, going rapidly as Beckett had whispered to him that she wanted a quickie. He was so fast that he had to stop before they were climaxing and he apologized to her before she nuzzled his temple with her lips.
"Don't worry," Beckett told him with a slight smile. "I know what you're going through; so am I."
Castle kissed his wife then and did so deeply, their tongues meeting shortly after and tangling together for a while before he pulled away from her so they could breathe. He smiled at her and said, "I should start again."
"You should," Beckett said. She tried to brace herself, but she was unable to prepare for what he would provide her as he was giving her heavy friction and getting deep within her again. She wasn't surprised when she climaxed shortly after he started and she was nearly clawing at his back, the pleasure intense again especially when he joined her. She didn't know how she wasn't orgasming a second time feeling his release, only aware she was feeling even stronger ecstasy. She had no idea how long they were clasped together, going through the end of their efforts and they were breathing heavily in the silent room, trying to recover before either of them could speak.
"I…" Castle started to say. "I really hope we'll take things a little slower next time."
"That's a shame," Beckett said. She smiled when her husband looked at her in surprise and told him, "I did want to do the same thing again."
"Well… we have a lot of time," Castle said, gently withdrawing from her. "We could do both."
"Then we should start," Beckett said.
"Not just yet," Castle said seriously, leaning down and kissing her fervently before he was rubbing at her clit to arouse her again so they could make love as she cried out to him in bliss.
Slumped against her husband's chest as they had finally climaxed, Beckett found her breathing was harsh and rapid, but she was full of pleasure. She and Castle had just climaxed close together for the fifth time that night and she couldn't deny feeling some fatigue. "Rick-" she started to say.
"Don't worry," Castle said, kissing her temple. He helped her off him and then said, "I think we should sleep?"
"You can make decisions too you know," Beckett teased him at his questioning tone.
"Then let's rest a little and see what we can do after that," Castle said. He helped his wife off him and laid down first before he wrapped his arms around her tightly before he said, "Thoughts?"
Unable to help smiling again at her husband figuring that out, Beckett told him, "You want a quickie again."
"I'd like to if you're alright," Castle said.
"I think it would be, but I wouldn't mind a little break," Beckett replied easily. She watched him reaching for the covers and she helped him with them so they were covered. Once they were set, she snuggled against his side again and said, "Tell me something," not surprised when his response to that came swiftly.
"It was the last day of our honeymoon and the morning after we'd managed to drag ourselves out of bed," Castle began.
As she was spooning out the eggs she had scrambled onto a plate from the pan, Kate froze as she could feel her husband's arms winding around her waist from behind. "You don't want to eat?" she asked him.
"Not just yet," Rick replied kissing around her shoulders though she was dressed.
Though she knew she needed to tell him their breakfast would get cold, Kate found that she lost her argument as her husband was reaching up and under her skirt. She set the pan and spoon down with a clatter before she spun around to him and wrapped her arms around his neck before he was picking her up and sliding into her once she was on the table.
"Is that it?" Beckett asked in amusement when her husband didn't continue.
"Well… basically," Castle said. "But I just realized that you didn't have anything on under your dress."
"No, I decided it was a waste of time to bother to put something on," Beckett told him in amusement.
"Yeah…" Castle said slowly. He smiled at his wife when she nudged his side and then said, "Okay, so after we'd finished we decided we wanted to stick to the bedroom since we'd be leaving for home the next morning. But we still had breakfast."
"You didn't bring a fork love," Rick told his wife.
Smiling at him Kate shook her head and said, "There's no need."
Rick watched her pick up some of the eggs before she was feeding them to him, and he ate quickly so he could grab some himself.
"No," Kate said when her husband turned to her. She took the eggs from him and motioned to him to lie down. As soon as he had she was placing them in the middle of his chest. She could feel her cheeks heating up as she saw the way he was looking at her and before she could lose her nerve she was leaning over and eating them off him. She licked at his skin once she'd finished and pulled back, watching him as she let her hair hide her face a bit.
"That was swell," Rick said seriously to reassure her. He reached up to her and cupped her cheek with his hand before kissing her gently and asking her, "Might I do the same?" He was pleased when his wife nodded her head and he sat up, getting some eggs again before he looked down at her body. He was unsure of what he should do for a moment but finally decided and was placing what he'd grabbed on top of her right nipple. He was eating the eggs quickly off her as some of it was starting to fall and he wanted to make sure he could do what she'd done. As soon as he'd finished his bite he was sucking at her breast, using his mouth and tongue together before she was stopping him.
"Oh… Rick we need to finish before we do that again," Kate told him with a smile.
"Then we should just eat," he suggested to her.
Nodding her head rapidly, Kate wasn't surprised when her husband leaned into her and they were kissing shortly after deeply. She nearly forgot about their meal when her husband was stopping them and getting some of their eggs. They tried their best not to eat too quickly but she was soon setting aside the plate on the nightstand before her husband was pulling her atop him and they were coupling together once more.
"How did we leave?" Beckett asked her husband, wrapping her arms around him.
"I have no clue," Castle said honestly. He slid his hand from the small of her back to her ass and then told her, "But we did leave the house to go to the water one last time, but it wasn't for longer than an hour I think."
Nodding, Beckett said, "Should I start."
"Please," Castle told her seriously as he gipped her ass a little tighter. He'd told her about their lovemaking briefly after they'd eaten in the memory and they'd decided it wasn't a bad idea to copy that position. But as his wife was starting to move he knew she wasn't intending for them to stay in it for long. Feeling her gripping tightly to his back he lowered his head and proceeded to suckle at her breasts, spending so long there that it only took her beginning to falter for him to realize what she wanted.
Beckett let out a moan of delight as her husband was flipping her around onto her back as she slid her legs up his sides before he was thrusting as hard as he could. She was crying out in joy at the sensation and was holding onto his back again, unsure how long she could stand such a pleasurable rhythm before she broke. She didn't have long to wait as shortly after she'd thought that she was breaking and she called her husband's name as her orgasm literally tore through her. She was clinging to her husband and the ecstasy within her felt as if it doubled when he was climaxing with her and she could feel them so intimately connected. She was a little dazed when she stopped moving and was breathing heavily as she felt her husband slumping down on her. "Those were amazing first days," she whispered, caressing the back of his head.
"Of our marriage?" Castle said as he raised his head. When she nodded, he smiled and then gave her a tender kiss before he pulled back and staring into her eyes said, "I was incredibly happy… I don't think I wanted to let you get too far from me."
"Neither did I," Beckett replied with a smile. They shared another kiss and she murmured, "Let's fuck again love."
Letting out a rough breath at her sultry voice, Castle couldn't stop himself and he captured her lips with his, kissing her deeply. Their tongues dueling, he withdrew from her sex carefully before he brought her hand down to his length. He felt her gasp since she was against his mouth still and he was immensely satisfied it was still rigid in his desire for her. When they finally stopped he pulled her up with him and as they stared into each other's eyes he murmured, "I love you Kate. Always goddess."
"Always Rick," Beckett murmured with a smile. They shared a tender kiss and once they parted she told him, "I love you too." Kissing him for some time she pulled him with her down on the bed as she went back to where she'd been before. "Show me love," she breathed to him.
"Love," Castle whispered before he was leaning down and kissing her passionately.
It took the two little time to couple, making sure they were staring at one another as they did so. And though they had their trip home in the morning they couldn't stop themselves, wanting to continue their pleasure so they could attempt to slake a little of their intense desire for each other. They understood it wouldn't be enough, but they didn't mind as it would lead to the need to be intimate repeatedly which they knew they were never going to tire of while they reveled in their lovemaking as their night together continued.
