"Oh, you messed up," Paul said in mock annoyance.

"Stop making me laugh," Skye replied with a laugh. She turned her attention back to her acoustic guitar she was holding, and she proceeded to play a little Flamenco music before she slowed down and sang.

Through the sorrow
All through our splendor
Don't take offense at my innuendo

"You got that backwards grá," Mary said, walking to her and sitting next to her wife on the end of the lounge chair.

"I know, but I wasn't intending to sing it, it just happened," Skye said simply.

"You should sing it," Castle commented.

"I'll pass," Skye replied. "It is one looong song." She smiled when the younger kids in the pool were laughing at her exaggerating the word and then said, "But you keep saying you have something."

"I do," Paul replied. "Play Find My Way."

"No way," Skye said. "No good on acoustic and no good from me."

"I tried," Paul told Reiley.

"You wanted to hear us play it?" Skye asked.

"You," Mary told her wife firmly.

"What about something from Queen?" the girl asked as she stood on the steps near where everyone was standing.

"Well, first you lot need to get out," Skye said. She then leaned over slightly and said to the other parents, "I'm talking to my five kids, not sure about the rest of them."

"She's right," Beckett said, standing up as the others were doing so.

"No complaining," Brad said since his son had groaned heavily.

"There's always tomorrow night," Rebecca said.

"What about Monday night?" Mari asked.

"We'll see," Rebecca answered, wrapping Dani up in her towel.

After the kids were dry and had their clothes on they'd worn to the restaurant Reiley walked over to Skye before the investigator was preceding her with a smile.

"I hope you're going to let me know what song you'd like me to sing," Skye said, glancing at her wife when she squeezed her hand.

"Rain Must Fall," Reiley said before suddenly Eliza was exclaiming.

"Jules! Jules you should practice!" the little girl said.

"Easy," Castle told her, afraid she would fall back into the pool.

"What is she talking about?" Beckett asked.

"We were almost going to dance to this one at the Rothschild," Julia replied before she looked at her partner.

"We could, we'd just have to be really careful," Peter responded.

"I know," Julia said.

"Why don't we sit at one end and you guys can dance in front of us?" Stella suggested.

When the two nodded, they were moving to get everything set up and Skye said, "I wonder how it always works out that I never get the chance to use my guitar."

"At least we did before," Paul commented.

"You cannot play the guitar for this one?" Bethany asked.

"Not really," Skye said. "You'll understand why when we start this. You are singing with me."

"You know I will," Mary replied firmly though she was looking at her phone. She looked up then when her wife touched her cheek in time to take the kiss Skye was giving her.

"Get a room," Darnley said in feigned disgust before the doctor was replying.

"Like you haven't done the same," Mary replied before squeezing her wife's hand.

"One thing before we start there is a bit of talking," Skye said.

"You're not going to do it?" Julia asked.

"You think I should?" Skye asked. When the teen hesitated, she said, "What is it?"

"Freddie told me he wants you to," Julia explained.

"He's here?" Peter asked.

Nodding, Julia turned and said, "Back there."

"He's not about to jump you, is he?" Paul asked.

"No," Julia said before she looked at Skye whose gaze was down the patio to where the singer was.

"Not me either," the investigator told the others before she turned to them. "But I'll put the talking in now."

"He spoke to you?" Mary asked her wife.

"Yeah, he mentioned something about thanking you for letting the grandkids hear his music," Skye said with a smile to Paul.

"That was us," Stella and Alasdhair said at the same time.

After they'd stopped laughing together, Skye said. "He thanked you."

"Is he staying?" Mary asked her wife.

"He is, but he'll be as unobtrusive as possible," Skye said.

"I'm not surprised," Mary said, knowing that was directed to her for her concern. "Are you two ready?" she asked the pair waiting in front of them.

"Whenever you are," Peter said, glancing at Julia who was nodding rapidly.

"Okay, here we go," Mary said, starting the music.

Julia smiled at Mari, who was standing next to Skye and Mary, while they were waiting for the singing to start. She and Peter soon moved to dance when the intro music changed a second time, continuing to dance the Samba steps they'd gotten with Ms. Grey through most of the song.

I can see it in your stars
Life is so exciting
Acting so bizarre
Your world is so inviting
Playing really cool
And looking so mysterious
Honey

Your every day is full of sunshine
But into every life
A little rain must fall

No problem, uh
Be cool, now

Anyone who imagines
They can blind you with science
Bully you all over
With property and finance
But you have position
To call the shots and name the price
Honey

You found success and recognition
But into every life
A little rain must fall

At the instrumental there, Castle squeezed his wife's hand before Beckett was looking at him and he stood before bringing her with him. They danced together, the other couples doing the same, even Skye and Mary until the two women were hurrying to sit and sing while Julia and Peter danced again after taking a break.

You lead a fairytale existence
But into every life
A little rain must fall

Be cool
Ha!
Kiss, kiss

Others seem to think
You are over dramatizing
Problems at work
So, it's hardly surprising
There's little you can do
To alter their opinions, honey

You want a clean reputation
But now you're facing complications
'Cause into every life
A little rain must fall

Be cool, get this
Woo! Alright

Play it nice and cool
Play it nice and cool, yeah
Yes, baby
Ooh, one more time
Uh-huh, I like it
Make it rain

Turning to her husband when he walked out to her, Beckett said, "You're sure it's not going to rain until Monday," smiling when he responded firmly.

"Very," Castle said. "Unless the weather decides to suddenly change, I think we're good tomorrow." He sat next to her and said, "Are you ready to dive?"

"I am," Beckett said. "It's been a while," she told him.

"You won't forget it," Castle commented.

"Are you saying that to me or yourself?" Beckett asked with another smile.

"Myself," Castle said. He watched his wife laughing before he leaned over and gently kissed her, pulling back and saying, "But it'll be great to get back to that."

"You're not worried about Julia, are you?" Beckett asked.

Shaking his head Castle then explained, "I just want her to be okay since we haven't gone diving like this with her."

Nodding Beckett said, "I was thinking the same. But we'll dive with her… well, one of us."

"Should we Roshambo to see?" Castle asked.

Beckett laughed and shook her head before she said, "I think we should pass. Let them decide."

"And Clive?" Castle asked. When his wife hesitated, he said, "You're not going to let him?"

Beckett gave him a look and said, "I can't say, his parents need to, and they said it was fine for a little."

"Okay… so we'll take them together," Castle said before his wife was responding with a smile.

"If it's possible," Beckett said.

"Good," Castle said simply. When she reached for his hand he said, "What is it?"

"Do you mind if I move?" Beckett replied.

"No," Castle told her quickly before he watched her standing up. He wasn't surprised when she was sitting on his lap shortly after and he held her before he said, "I thought we weren't-"

Beckett didn't mind cutting her husband off, especially since he had responded to her almost immediately. They were kissing deeply, flicking their tongues against each other before they had to part to breathe. "I never said we weren't. I told you I wasn't sure we'd have the energy for it," she told him, gently fingering his lips.

"I should have paid attention to your wording," Castle said.

"You should have," Beckett said teasingly before they kissed gently. She then embraced him a little tighter before she said, "I do have one request about tonight though."

"Alright," Castle said swiftly. He wasn't surprised when his wife kissed him again before he gently rubbed her back while she was speaking again.

"Will you make love to me like you did our first time?" Beckett asked. She took her husband's kiss in response and gently ran her fingers through his hair before he shuddered hard enough for them to break apart.

"You're sure?" Castle asked.

"Very," Beckett told him before they leaned into each other and kissed again. That didn't last for long before he was suddenly picking her up to her gasp before he spoke.

"You don't want everything the same, do you?" Castle asked.

"No," Beckett replied while she watched him walking into the bedroom. "Don't close those," she said quickly while he set her down next to the bed.

"I won't," Castle replied firmly before he was kissing her deeply. He felt her clutching at him, and they were caressing one another until they were slowly parting. "But I know what I want to do before we make love," he said huskily.

Beckett felt a thrill at his tone before she was reaching for his shirt, beginning to unbutton it when he carefully stopped her. "That's all I was going to do," she told him, smiling up at him.

"Are you sure?" Castle asked, gently running his hands down her back.

Before she could reply to that, Beckett was moaning in pleasure at her husband grasping her ass tightly and she said, "I'm sure, though from that are you sure we shouldn't get everything off?"

Castle shook his head before he was kissing her again, pulling her tighter against his chest though she was already flush to him. When they parted, he was picking her up again, laying her on the bed while he followed. Kissing her he was running his hand down her side before she was pulling away.

"This was what you wanted to do?" Beckett asked.

"Call it my request," Castle replied. When his wife looked hesitant, he said, "You can have a second one."

"Gan éadaí," Beckett said, telling him the words no clothes.

"A reasonable request," Castle said, unsurprised at her immediate response as soon as he'd finished speaking.

"Pervert," Beckett said before she moved to sit up with her husband. They began taking turns undressing one another, which took time since they continued to kiss each other until they were naked, and she allowed him to lay her back down. She had expected him to either touch or kiss her body but when he was capturing her lips with his own, she was half surprised, and half pleased while she responded.

Plunging his tongue into his wife's mouth, Castle was tangling it around hers before they began to rub against each other. After they'd parted, he leaned down a little and kissed her shoulder, feeling her hands running over his back.

"How long were you intending to do this?" she asked him.

"Long enough," Castle said.

"Pervert," Beckett teased him. She wasn't surprised when he kissed her again and enjoyed it greatly while they were shifting against each other to feel the sensation before they were parting, panting slightly for air after they'd shared several of them. She wasn't sure how many more times they kissed after that until they were stopping, and she told him, "Either you're going-" before he cut her off.

Though he hadn't planned to, Castle couldn't regret moving down to her right breast and brushing his lips to it. Hearing the way his wife was moaning in response he did that to the other before he moved back to her lips. Once he was there, he brushed his lips against hers gently before telling her, "Could I see if you're ready?"

"Alright," Beckett said though she'd hesitated a moment debating that. "Seriously," she said when he looked at her doubtfully.

Nodding, since he could tell from her tone, Castle moved down to her breasts and was kissing at them before he captured her right nipple with his lips. Suckling at it immediately he rejoiced in the feel of his wife's fingers sliding through his hair, nails scraping at his scalp. After he'd moved to her left breast and repeated the same action there, he slid his lips down her stomach until he was at her sex.

Clutching at the pillow bellow her head at first, Beckett was soon reaching for Castle's head, his tongue sliding along her clit. When he was slipping lower, she was breathing even harder, calling his name though she'd intended to tell him he didn't need to continue. She was a little shocked when he suddenly pulled away and slid up her body, gasping for air before she said, "You…"

"I realized I wasn't going to do that tonight," Castle explained. "Sorry?" he said.

"Don't," Beckett said, bringing him down to her. They kissed deeply and when her husband pulled away, she murmured to him, "Let me do the same."

"I don't…" Castle started to say before he trailed off. Before she could speak, he was turning over onto his back, watching her swiftly moving to start kissing around his chest. "Kate-" he began to say.

"Don't worry," Beckett reassured him, sitting up for a moment. "I wasn't going to do this for that long either." She pushed her hair behind her shoulders and then told him, "But I wanted my fair share."

Shuddering heavily at the sight of her doing that, it took Castle a moment before he could respond to her saying, "Goddess, you're going to make me come."

"Just doing this?" Beckett asked with one eyebrow raised. She was a little taken aback when her husband shuddered again for a moment and she smiled murmuring, "The power I have over you…"

"Definitely," Castle said before she was lowering her head. He thought she was going to kiss his chest again but was startled and immensely satisfied when her lips pressed a kiss to the tip of him. He groaned and pulled her off of him, flipping her around onto her back before he crushed his lips to hers. He wasn't sure how long he was doing that, or how long she was responding to him eagerly until they parted before she slowly spoke.

"We can start," Beckett said.

Recalling her request, Castle kissed her again, sensuously that time before they slowly parted, and he moved slightly. Gasping out a little hard against her hair that had slid around to spill over her shoulder, he did his best not to close his eyes. She had grasped him gently and he was quickly moving with her until he felt the tip of his erection sliding inside of her. When she moved her hand away, he was quick to slide in her though he was careful not to go too swiftly. When he was finally sheathed within her, he was breathing hard, hearing his wife doing the same.

Just before Castle began to thrust, Beckett was wrapping her legs and arms around him as she'd done their first time together. When she felt him pulling back her eyes closed tightly, trying to withstand the sensation. But once she felt a little more used to him sinking in and out of her, she looked at him, seeing his head was slightly bowed. "Love," she murmured.

Raising his head, Castle said, "Are you okay?"

"Yes," Beckett managed to get out without hesitating for too long. "But I want you to look at me while you take me."

Trying his best to focus on his rhythm, Castle said, "You never s-said that to me-" interrupting himself with a heavy groan when his wife squeezed her sex around him. He faltered for a moment and then stopped before she was groaning in annoyance. "Did you want us to come that fast?" he explained to her in a question.

"I'm surprised that didn't happen the first time," Beckett said a little teasingly, though her tone was mostly absent while she caressed his back. She took his kiss then and they began to move together shortly after that. She couldn't help feeling a rush of excitement at the way he was moving so slowly and carefully, and she did her best to follow him though it became more and more difficult until he suddenly pulled away.

"Does this have to be exact?' Castle asked, having stopped at the same time.

"No," Beckett said, trying not to become too annoyed. She was gasping a second later when her husband flipped her around and she told him, "You're going to stop me aren't you?"

"Unless you want to come like this then yes," Castle said firmly. He was sitting up by then and kissed her deeply, slightly surprised when she was responding to him. He shook that aside and focused on what they were doing, their tongues shortly after tangling together before they were slowly parting. Before she could start moving on him, he leaned down to her, kissing across her breasts before he suckled gently at them both.

Eventually Beckett had to pull him away before she placed her hands on his shoulders until she began to move. Since she had requested they make love earlier she was doing so slowly, rocking her hips back and forth. When she heard the way her husband was groaning in joy she would have smiled, though she was experiencing the same he was. She did that for a while, changing her method and pushing herself up and down slowly before he stopped her and spoke hurriedly.

"I'm not going to last that long," Castle said firmly.

"I wouldn't worry," Beckett said. "We could keep switching," she pointed out to him, trying not to smile at his expression of surprise.

"You're giving me permission for that?" Castle asked.

"I am," Beckett said. She'd been studying her husband while she spoke, and she wasn't surprised to see him suddenly thinking of something before she cried out while he flipped her around onto her back. "Love," she said in amusement before she was becoming serious at him leaning down to her and kissing around her shoulders and neck.

Moving around her skin, Castle slid back up to her lips where he began kissing her deeply. They were clutching at each other until he pulled away, several kisses later, and he stared into her eyes while he was thrusting within her again. He leaned into her shortly after that and kissed her, moving gently within her and relishing how much he could feel being so deliberate. He felt her hands squeezing at his back while he continued at the same, easier pace before he pulled back when they needed to catch their breath. "I don't think I'm going to stop," he said, making sure he didn't stutter or falter in his speech.

"You want… more?" Beckett asked, pausing when he was pressing a little harder into her clit. She ran her hands down his back, raking her nails over him before moving back up. "So do I," she told him, aware he was likely wondering.

"Good," Castle managed to say before he was kissing her again. They were dueling again, their heads tilting back and forth, when he was reaching for her leg with his right hand and pulling it up higher. When her response to that was to slide her other up, he was doing his best to not move harder into her which was his first instinct. It took him a little to keep himself under control, but he was soon seeing her reacting more and he asked, "Are you going to come?"

"Yes…" Beckett moaned. Her husband was continuing which she was relieved about since she couldn't fight against the rising level of pleasure that was filling her. She was soon beginning to writhe under her husband, her nails digging into his back before she broke. "Rick! I'm… oh don't stop… please," she begged him while the first wave of ecstasy splintered into multiple ones. It seemed to be heightened feeling her husband's release joining his member to fill her, but she was soon riding out the end of it holding him tighter though she wasn't sure it was possible.

Burying his face into his wife's neck, Castle couldn't help his final thrust which pressed hard against her. He groaned out her name one more time before he was still, feeling his satiety before he focused on getting his strength back. Once he felt he had it he raised his head and told her, "Please tell me you still want more."

"Pervert," Beckett said easily, squeezing her sex around him tightly for a moment. She relished the grunt that came from him and then said, "I do."

"Goddess," Castle said, kissing her hard. He lingered for as long as he could before he stopped and then said, "You need some time though."

"What do you want to do?" Beckett asked, smoothing down some of his hair he had messed up.

"Come with me," Castle said, carefully withdrawing from her though they both exhaled in disappointment before she was stopping him while she spoke.

"We're going somewhere," Beckett stated instead of asking.

"A slight walk if you don't mind," Castle told her swiftly.

Shaking her head, Beckett waited to watch her husband get off the bed, ogling his body blatantly while he was going to the closet.

"You're watching me, aren't you?" Castle asked.

"And how many times have you stared at my ass?" Beckett shot back, smiling.

"Just once, when we went to the club," Castle said. He was smiling himself immediately at the sound of his wife scoffing before he turned around.

"A blanket?" Beckett asked.

"Yes," Castle said, pausing for a moment since he was startled at how annoyed she'd sounded.

"Toss it to me," Beckett said, not surprised when her husband smiled.

"Sure," Castle replied though he wasn't that far from her.

"Thank you," Beckett replied easily. "What did you have in mind?"

"Now I need that back," Castle said, a little surprised when she was laughing.

Once she had calmed down Beckett said, "I should have just told you to hold it up and run." She expected him to react to that but when he just held out his hand, she gave it to him saying, "Now I need to apologize?"

"No," Castle reassured her. He then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just had something come to mind. I'll tell you after."

"Will I need to call you pervert?" Beckett asked, smiling herself.

"Of course," Castle said, glancing at her while she laughed and he opened the blanket. "Come on," he said before he wrapped it around him.

"We're not going to be able to walk that well," Beckett said since he was holding it open and looking pointedly at her.

"Luckily we don't have to walk that far," Castle said.

Beckett was smiling and she moved to get up before she stood with her back to his chest. "This is awkward," she told him while they made their way to the terrace.

"You're lucky I know you're talking about the walking," Castle said.

Laughing a little when her husband nipped at her ear lobe Beckett said, "And it wasn't that far."

"That's what I said," Castle stated. He wasn't surprised when she glanced at him and he said, "But I just wanted to stay here for a little, look out at the water." When she didn't say anything, he said, "You don't mind?"

"I would have stopped you already," Beckett told him simply. She turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck telling him, "And this is nice."

"Since there's no rain?" Castle asked her. When she nodded, he leaned down to her and kissed her tenderly though he was a little startled when she was intensifying it. Matching her eagerly, he suddenly grew a little frustrated with the blanket and was debating letting it go before he pulled away. "Should I tell you what I thought of?" he asked her.

Studying him for a moment Beckett then said with a smile, "Don't worry, I know now," leaning against him while he responded in surprise.

"How could you tell?" Castle asked.

"A wild guess," Beckett said easily. While she'd been speaking, she'd moved her hands from around his neck, sliding them over his shoulders and then down his chest. When she reached his erection shortly after she gently curled her hands around it and was about to begin stroking it before her husband stopped her.

"I'm not going to last that long," Castle said seriously.

"No?" Beckett asked with a smile. "It's what you wanted me to do isn't it?"

"That and I wanted to touch you while you were doing that," Castle said. When his wife let him go, he said, "Back inside?"

"Not yet," Beckett replied with a smile before she turned around to lean against him. Listening to the waves breaking to their left and right for a while she eventually said, "We don't have that much time."

"Yeah… do you mind going this way again?" Castle said. He was a little startled when his wife smiled at him and stepped out from the blanket, making him rush after her. He tossed it aside to the couch in the room before he was getting on the bed after her, sitting up on his knees. "It's fine," he told her in a rush when she brushed her fingertips against his brace.

"Then is this how you wanted me to do this?" Beckett asked with a smile.

"No," Castle said.

"Why so hesitant?" Beckett replied with a question. "If you want to lay down that's fine." When he leaned over to her to whisper in her ear, she was a little surprised he felt he needed to do that, but when she heard what he was saying she pinched his arm lightly and said, "Pervert."

"Well… it's what I want to do," Castle replied easily.

"Alright, lay down then love," Beckett said in the same tone of voice. She watched him doing so instantly and smiled at his speed before she was straddling his waist. Taking his member with her hands she said, "Am I restricted?"

"Not really, I just gave you the basics," Castle said firmly.

"Good," Beckett replied before she was stroking at him again. She glanced up at her husband and seeing he was trying to push himself up she stopped and moved to grab the pillows on the bed to prop him up. While he was raised, and she was putting them underneath him she trembled when he was latching his mouth to her left breast and suckling at it firmly. "Rick," she moaned when his hand soon reached up and fondled at her other mound.

Though Castle wanted to ask her to allow him to continue a little longer, he was too focused on what he was doing before he switched his mouth and his hand. Once he was satisfied he'd done enough for both her breasts he was laying back down saying, "You're mad."

"You're a liar," Beckett said, relieved he'd spoken since she'd needed that time to recover from the pleasure he'd given her.

"I am, luckily you're not mad," Castle said. He took her kiss when she leaned over though they didn't linger, and he braced himself for when she moved back on him. As she proceeded to stroke at him again, he was holding onto her hips, gripping them a little hard when she rubbed her thumb over the tip of him. "Let me come inside you Kate," he managed to say. When his wife looked at him, he was about to tell her it would help them make love again when she was speaking first.

"You will," Beckett said. She watched him suddenly sitting up fully, reaching for her before he kissed her. She took it eagerly, allowing his tongue to slip past her lips so they could literally fondle each other's with them. Still stroking at him, she wasn't surprised when he shortly after stopped her and they continued kissing until they needed to breathe normally. She moved with his help, sliding down his length until their hips were meeting and she said, "I want your cum in my pussy."
"Vixen," Castle breathed to her. "Will you fuck my cock?"

"Yes," Beckett said shortly before she was leaning over and kissing him hard. At the same time she was moving on him, doing her best not to go so fast that she dislodged him. But when her husband firmly slapped at her ass she was crying out and arching her back before he whirled them around so she was on her back, and he'd slipped from her.

"Please tell me I can love," Castle said huskily while he gazed into her eyes.

"You have to," Beckett said. "I told you what I wanted."

Breathing out roughly, Castle shifted until he was sliding inside of her and going slowly as he'd done before. But once he was sheathed firmly inside of her he was thrusting fast, going as hard as he could and delighting in his wife's cries of delight until they were breaking closely together.

Feeling her husband's hard thrusts while she herself was still with her completion, Beckett was running her hands around his back feeling the way his muscles were still working with his efforts. She couldn't help her gasp at how hard he was at the end and kept her grip firm on him before he was moving again.

"I really wish we weren't going out now," Castle told her.

Smiling in amusement Beckett pressed a kiss to his temple before she told him, "Neither do I… but there's not much we can do."

"I know," Castle said with a sigh. "The permit." He was about to withdraw from her when she tightened the grip of her legs and arms around him before he said, "No?"

"Not yet," Beckett said.

"At least I know I'm not crushing you," Castle said. He smiled when his wife laughed briefly before he felt her kissing his temple. He moved to kiss her then, a tender one that he hadn't intended to let last for that long. But she was quick to intensify it and he followed for a while until they were parting, and he withdrew from her then. Laying down next to her he laughed when his head hit the mattress and said, "I forgot about the pillows."

"I noticed," Beckett replied as she pushed herself up slightly at the same time he did. "What about the doors?"

Looking at them, Castle said, "We could leave them open tonight. No rain or anything. Do you want the sheet?"

"Pass," Beckett replied with a smile. "Now will you do something for me?"

"Of course," Castle said. He was startled when his wife was suddenly kissing him, and they were falling back onto the bed. He responded to her while he was running his hand down her back to her ass.

Jerking against him slightly when she felt the way her husband was grasping at her, Beckett broke off the kiss and said, "I thought we said we couldn't stay up?"

"No but when you do that how am I supposed to react?" Castle asked in amusement. He laughed when she pinched his side lightly before they were getting up and moving the pillows back. "I'm thinking about tomorrow night you know," he commented when they were finished, startled when she appeared hesitant before she was replying.

"I'm wondering if this time we won't feel up to it," Beckett said.

"I had the same thought," Castle said. "I was kind of hoping you'd say we still would… like tonight."

"We have more tomorrow," Beckett said simply. "But we will be home soon." She smiled feeling her husband grabbing her a little harder at that and said, "I see you're looking forward to it."

"This summer too," Castle said seriously.

"Of course," Beckett said. "Vacation sex."

"Not sex," Castle said immediately though he was aware his wife had said that on purpose. He kissed her gently and then said, "There's also Adare."

"I've been thinking of that too," Beckett said with a nod. She watched him taking off his glasses before he turned to put them on his nightstand. She resisted her urge to touch him, and instead said, "Though I wonder if we could play with their archery sets too."

"Sure," Castle replied. "As long as it doesn't rain."

"Should we bet?" Beckett asked him with a smile.

"Yes," Castle said instantly.

"Pervert," Beckett said laughingly. They kissed gently since he'd turned back around and she said, "But I agree."

"Oh sure, make me feel weird," Castle said in exaggeration. He smiled when his wife laughed, and they kissed again before he laid down while she got up. "I didn't do that on purpose," since she was going around the room and closing the lights they'd had on.

"I realize," Beckett said easily. Once she was sure she had everything set she returned to her husband and laid down with him before pressing close to his side. "Rick?" she said once she was settled.

"Yeah love?" Castle asked, gently rubbing her upper arm.

"I love you," Beckett said firmly, looking up at him.

"I love you too Kate," Castle said, moving to kiss her immediately. They deepened it at the same time and were busy with that for a while until she was pulling away. "Love," he couldn't help murmuring hopefully.

Though she knew they needed some kind of sleep, Beckett couldn't stop herself, pulling her husband on top of her. "Take me love," she told him, her voice sultry with her desire.

Reaching to the nightstand for his glasses and the light while she was getting the other and the room light, Castle put on the frames swiftly before his wife was pulling him to her. They were kissing frantically after she'd led him to her, and he wasted no time in coupling with her to her encouragement.

Castle and Beckett proceeded to make love eagerly with each other one more time that night. Kissing and holding onto one another they were fervent in their intimacy with the sound of the waves crashing outside overtaken by the sounds of their ecstasy they found easily together.
