This chapter is rated M. I'm trying for erotic not slutty, but just say the word and I'll leave the sex to more experienced writers.

They are touring the island.

Not mine, just writing for fun.

Thank you for reading.

Rick woke up he lay still and waited, waking up away from home, it took a couple of seconds for him to catch up and ground himself and remind him where he was. Paula's schedule kept him busy. It didn't permit him to relax or have time to scout out his surroundings, discover the local history. Today he planned on doing just that, and his companion was none other than his beautiful…Girlfriend, Muse, Partner, love-of-his-life? She was his… Kate, that made him smile. His body's reaction to her was unimpeded rising up on its on accord. The imagery from yesterday's activities flooded his brain. The way her body arched and called his name as she reached her release. He was addicted.

He couldn't stop himself he needed to touch her. His fingers softly caressed the space between his boxers & his stolen shirt, (his favorite now that she'd worn It.) it rucked up in the night exposing creamy skin that begged to be touched. He couldn't deny her skin or her. His large hand gently caressing as he reached further under his shirt. He'd found the weighted curve of her breast. He traced its curve. Kate was moving into his touch.

He smiled. "Good morning love."

"….Um, good morning." She blinked giving herself time to focus on the baby blue eyes staring down at her. Any pretense of restraint was long gone. Last night's activities, left her body seeking to feel that way again. Craving the high, he was her drug of choice. Even if she had the will power to say no, her body was screaming yes. Its traitorous evidence was mounting, her nipples hardening awaiting his lips to nibble and tease them. Her walls coating with moisture anticipating him, her lover's touch.

He was up on his elbows looking down at the most beautiful creature on earth. He leaned in and pressed his lips to hers. He kissed her sweetly

Kate was wanton, she deepened the kiss. When he moaned into her mouth, she positioned her self on top of him.

Castle chuckled this was a first, his boxers were on top of him pushing his erection down, usually it was the reverse, his erection pushing his boxers out in the early morning hour.

Castles hands cupped her breasts underneath his shirt. Kate grabbed the hem with crossed arms she divested his shirt in one motion. Oh…that was so hot.

She surprised him again when she stood straight up on the bed and shimmied out of his boxers, letting them fall onto his throbbing manhood. He groaned. Kate dropped back to the bed moved the discarded boxers aside and impaled herself on him. She slid her body further until she settled deeper where their bodies connected as one. Apprehensive the first time he'd un-veiled himself to her; she was wondering if he would fit. She knew now, her body adjusted.

She began to rock her hips. Oh…so…good, her breath was starting to quicken. She rose up and then slid back down over and over. He watches as she pleasures herself on him. He was in awe watching the erotic ballet her movements preformed. He felt himself swell even more inside her. She moaned. Her moaning was his undoing. He rolled them and changed positions, he was on top, He thrust and drove himself into her, she lifted her leg to allow him deeper access. Yesss…oh…baby…that feels so gooood…ahhh.. Don't stop please…she arched into him. He stopped moving and held himself still, watching as her orgasm overtook her. His strokes shortened his movements became jerky, erratic he plunged himself deeper, instinct driving his actions, his brain sending wave after pleasurable wave, his own release spilled deep within her. They were both panting. That was amazing they said together.

Castle fell back onto the bed, Kate was panting along with him. They took a few minutes cuddling, enjoying the post coital high, begrudgingly they untangled from one another.

After getting out of bed. Castle pushed the button on the remote the butler left in his charge yesterday." "We will be ready for breakfast in fifteen minutes." His rich voice still breathless from their union. They headed to shower. Castle finished and stepped out to let Kate finish up. She emerged wearing a sun-dress that accentuated her long legs. Her hair held back in a pony-tail. Castle handed her a cup of coffee.

"Breakfast is set up on the porch." He led her outside. The table topped with a white linen cloth, a vase of flowers sat in the middle. Castle pulled the lids off the dishes. Scrambled eggs, pancakes, French toast, muffins and fresh fruit.

Kate's stomach rumbled she was famished. Castle handed her a plate she filled it and sat down. Her eyes were sparkling.

She cut her French toast in bite size pieces and then dipped it in the syrup. He could watch her all day. He'd watch her at the precinct, this was so much more. Unguarded Kate was fascinating he discovered new things every moment he was with her. She was remarkable.

"I would like to go into town and tour the sites. There are a couple of places that I'd like for us to see. If that's okay. There's a place where you can swim with the dolphins if you wanted to."

"That sounds good. Maybe we can swim with the dolphins on our next trip. I didn't bring a suit." Kate added "Unless you want to repeat last night's performance. And go skinny dipping?"

"No, no." He kissed her hand "For my eyes only"

Kate nodded. "Aye- Aye Captain."

"I've made reservations for dinner at eight-o'clock at Café Matisse. We can come back after sightseeing and maybe take a nap or something before dinner. "

Kate raised her eyebrow

Castle started explaining "Kate, I'd like to spend the day with you, touring, shopping, the things normal couples do everyday. If you would rather stay in the villa that would be great also, whatever will make you happy?"

Kate looked at his face, he was so sweet, he wasn't' hiding his feelings from her anymore. She wanted to go out in public with him. She secretly desired to show the world he belonged to her, as she did him.

"Where are we going?"

The walls of limestone towered above them, "Look a waterfall" Kate pointed to an area at the bottom of the 102 foot staircase. "It's beautiful Rick." Palm trees swayed in the breeze, flora dotted the landscape. Rick took a 'selfie' of the two of them in front of the waterfall. "I've gotten quite good at 'selfies', honed my skills taking pictures with the fans." Kate looked at the picture it was good. She gave him her phone to snap a photo for her. He smiled. He'd taken off his baseball cap and sunglasses, his 'tourist' attire. He wanted to fit in, so they could enjoy the sites without interruption.

They began the trek up the sixty-five limestone steps. "The slaves carved the staircase by hand; it's named the Queens staircase in honor of Victoria's sixty-five year reign. Its purpose was to provide a safe route for the British troops to Fort Fincastle."

"Fort Fincastle?"

"No relation, the fort was built in 1793 Lord Dunmore, I read about it on the internet." The writer climbed the stone steps with his lovely muse.

When they reached the top Kate read from a brochure:

Fort Fincastle, Nassau Bahamas, overlooking the town from Bennet's Hill was built by Lord Dunmore, about 1793 who named it after his second title, Viscount Fincastle.

In a letter to the Secretary of State of February 17, 1794, he describes it as "a battery upon a hill in this island to the Eastwards of the Government House mounting two 24 pounders, two 32 pounder Carronades, two 12 pounders, and one Howitzer, which not only covers the Battery in Hog Island (Paradise Island) but all the Town and Road to the Eastward where the enemy might probably have effected a landing."

Rick retrieved his wallet to pay the admission fee, one dollar each. Inside the Castle A guide offered their services, they gave them the information Kate read previously from the guide. Rick gave him a generous tip anyway.

"Ooh! do you want to see the Watertower?" I read that Blackbeard once sailed these waters, but the pirates were driven out by the early 1700's. They liked the protection of the sheltered harbor; it was perfect for their plundering hearts.

I saw something on the Watertower, here it is: The Watertower stands At 126 ft. it's the highest point in Nassau.

They stood and admired the panoramic view. It was beautiful. "Look we've found Atlantis, the resort anyway." Castle was excited as a little kid. "You can see the slide" Kate rolled her eyes.

They stood still admiring the view; Kate was standing in front of him, his massive arms wrapped around her. She hadn't been this content in a long time, being here with him she couldn't imagine anywhere else she'd rather be. For the first time in years she was happy, truly happy.

He couldn't stop snapping pictures. He was committing each moment to memory. He didn't know how he was going to finish the tour without her. He still had three more weeks of travel scheduled. Paula would kill him if he canceled. He didn't want to disappoint his fans, but it was going to be very difficult being away from her. He'd experienced how good they are together.

Castle kissed the top of her head. You know Kate; the spy who shall not be named used this island for four films: Thunderball, Casino Royale, The Spy who loved me and my personal motto Never say Never.

Kate looked up at him, he waggled his eyebrows.

He leaned down and touched his lips to hers, it quickly escalated. She turned; they were pulling one another in desperate to connect, to …..When they heard "Get a room" from one of the other tourists they broke apart sheepishly, their eyes filled with want.

Castle placed a soft kiss on her swollen lips. "I think, we should check out Parliament Street. It's filled with shops, sites and coffee." Kate tugged his hand when he said the word coffee.

They set off on a leisurely pace to Parliament Street.

Kate looked so relaxed sitting drinking her coffee. She had several bags at her feet. They'd found souvenirs for Javi, Ryan, and Lanie. Castle insisted she take something back for them. He told her he always tried to find something for Alexis each trip he took. It was hard shopping in airports but he generally found something for her.

They made their way back to the SUV, it was a good thing. It was becoming crowded as the cruise ships passengers were making their way inland. It was time to retreat to the privacy of the Villa.

Kate took her hair out of the pony-tail and shook it free. She massaged her scalp and stretched her long limbs. Castle opened a bottle of chilled water and handed it to her. "You need to hydrate"

Kate accepted the bottle and took a long swig. It tasted good, she was thirsty. Castle retrieved a bottle for himself.

"Care to take a dip Captain?" Kate held her tongue between her teeth.

He didn't have to take cold showers any more when she teased him. Now he could do something about it.

They took their water and headed to the pool, noticing their towels were replaced with fresh ones. Kate ventured to the edge of the pool she removed her sun-dress. She stood wearing her midnight blue lace panties and bra. She tossed her dress on the chase lounge and entered the water. Rick stopped undressing and watched as she entered, he stood mesmerized. She was so graceful. He was the luckiest man on the face of the planet. He finished undressing and quietly entered the water. Kate opened her eyes when she felt his arms surround her. She was bracing herself for another cannon-ball. He'd surprised her yet again.

"You are so beautiful" Kate smiled "Right back at you Babe" She leaned in to kiss him. They held their foreheads together.

"Thank you for today."

"I enjoyed it, thank you for inviting me. When did you win the stay from Patterson?"

"A year ago, I've waited for the right moment. When I won it, I wanted it to be you Kate. I wanted you to be the one that shared it with me."

The tears pooled in her eyes. "I'm...I'm glad it was me."

"From the moment I met you, it's been you." His lips found hers.

As they kissed he unclasp her bra, she didn't even feel it. She only noticed as he slid the straps from her shoulders. He felt her Goosebumps, this time he didn't ask if she was cold, he knew she wasn't. He'd noted the things that made her come undone. He knew how to touch her, the things she liked, and he was only getting started showing her all the many ways he would make love to her. He cupped her center with his palm, his large fingers repositioning her panties to the side, to allow him access. She moaned and pushed further onto his hand.

He removed his fingers and inserted them into his mouth; he sucked his fingers until he removed all the essence of her. The growl he emitted, she knew his desire. He picked her up and carried her to the loungers by the pool. He removed her lace panties, the only thing separating her from him. She was writhing on the loungers, he stood over her. She is so beautiful; his erection pulsed, poised to enter her. She reached for him" Please babe." They began the dance…their bodies seeking pleasure unlike anything either of them had ever known.

They lay together, drifting off into a blissful haze. He covered them with towels. They slept.

Rick felt her stir, Kate's bladder was telling her it was time to remove the coffee and water she'd drank. He opened one eye and looked at his watch. They had a couple of hours before dinner. He was about to drift off again, he noticed Kate was wiggling. "I've got to go to the bathroom." Rick swung his legs over the chaise. He grabbed one of their 'covers' and wrapped her up. Kate headed off to use the toilet in the master bath. "Come and join me for a shower later." She gathered her sodden underwear and bra and headed into the bathroom.

Castle was tempted to lie back down until he felt the press of his own bladder. He begrudgingly headed toward the bath by the kitchen. As he was relieving the pressure he noticed scratches on his arms. He chuckled. Kate had grabbed him when she encouraged him to enter her. He loved the fact she showed him she wanted him too.

He padded toward the master bath, when he heard the shower he entered. He didn't want to intrude while she was using the restroom. They'd covered every inch of each other, but he wanted to let her have privacy while she attended to basic human functions. He joined her in the shower.

He looked forward to their evening out. He'd arranged for private dining. He wasn't ready to share her with the world.
