There was no surprise to Castle, when his wife had finished telling him about literally weeping at her friend's side, that she cried again. He held her tightly and murmured against her temple in Irish tenderly until she had calmed. He was quiet at that point wanting to be absolutely sure that she was okay to talk before he tried to do so, just holding her and stroking her hair lovingly.

"I've only ever cried like that three times in my life," Beckett told her husband as he rubbed away the tracks of her tears with his thumbs. "The night my mother was murdered, that day with Patrick and… when I thought you were dead at Michipicoten."

Hugging her to him again Castle said, "When you love Kate you love… deeply."

"I do," Beckett whispered, not arguing the point since she agreed completely with him. "It just… I don't control that."

"I know," Castle said, pressing his lips against her temple gently. "But believe me those of us that you love appreciate it… greatly."

Beckett smiled a little since he stressed the last word and she turned to look into his eyes saying, "We spent the next three days together, forgetting what had happened and just talking about everything but we did talk about… well in his case the kind of guy he wanted to find, settle down with."

"And you?" Castle asked, relieved to see her smiling again as she thought about that.

"Slightly I wanted to focus more on him than myself but he was insistent," Beckett said, leaning her head against her husband's. "And we talked a little more about having kids I remember now."

"Oh yeah?" Castle asked. "Was he able to get more out of you than he knew before?"

Beckett smiled again at his eager questioning before she told him about the conversation she and Darnley had had over lunch on the first day. She'd gone out to pick up some hot dogs from Nathan's for them and they'd spread out a blanket on the floor next to the tall windows his place had, watching the rain run down then. She could still remember their talk, the cold as his heater was being difficult and the joy she'd felt just seeing her friend safe and happy as he would laugh with her.


"You honestly think I'd have kids?" Darnley asked as he watched Beckett sip at her drink.

"Why not? You'd be a great dad. And there's got to be a time in the future when you'll be able to adopt," Beckett said. "Or you could use a surrogate."

"It wouldn't be as meaningful to me; either me or my lover is the father and the other is kind of left out," Darnley replied. "But just in the biology, not loving the kid of course."

"Of course," Beckett said with a smile. "It's just nice to hear that you want to have kids in some way."

"Do you think you'd adopt?" Darnley asked her.

"I would probably wait first to see if I could have them and then consider adopting," Beckett answered.

"First you need to find a man," Darnley said. He wasn't surprised when she rolled her eyes and then added, "Me too."

"Not the same one," Beckett said at the same time as her friend before they laughed together. "That would be odd."

"That would be a threesome Officer Beckett," Darnley said before she threw one of the napkins they hadn't used at him. "And that would be awkward."

"Have you ever?" Beckett asked, looking over at him as he placed the remnants of his lunch into the bag their food had been in.

"I'm into monogamy," Darnley replied. "I guess there's something selfish in me; I want to have one guy catering to my every whim."

Beckett laughed and said, "Here's hoping you find that guy."

"Oh that might take a while," Darnley said, raising his glass to hers. "But you need to find… your guy, not that guy."

"That would take longer I think," Beckett said simply. She then noticed that her friend looked thoughtful as he stared at her and asked simply, "Yes?"

"No, just thinking of you married and a couple kids," Darnley replied.

"Hard to see?" Beckett replied.

"Just whoever your husband would be," Darnley said. "Since you're so picky." He laughed when she threw another balled up, unused napkin at him and said, "The kids I could see."

"Oh?" Beckett asked in amusement.

"Well… partially," Darnley admitted. "I can see your kids having your eyes, really nice eyes."

"Thank you," Beckett replied, smiling. "But like finding a husband, having kids will be some time in the future."

"Does that scare you?" Darnley asked seriously. When she looked at him questioningly he continued with, "Being actually pregnant?"

Thinking about that for a moment Beckett then told him, "It does a little because I've heard from my parents' friends about how hard it is but it seems like the end result makes up for what you go through."

"The part where you get to make the baby is good too right?" Darnley mused. "For straight people."

"I wouldn't know," Beckett said wryly.

"One day I'm sure you will," Darnley said reassuringly.

"Again that might take some time," Beckett told him. "Get up, time for your medicine."

"Yeah you're gonna be an awesome, awesome mom," Darnley said, letting her help him up. "Good wife too."

"Just from that," Beckett said teasingly.

"Yep," Darnley replied as he took the pill she handed him. "Now, let's go streak somewhere."

"Nice try," Beckett said wryly. "Those pills don't make you trip. And stop delaying, you should get some rest."

Grumbling under his breath Darnley said, "Good thing I got a king," before he jumped up onto his bed.

"I'm not taking a nap," Beckett replied.

"What're you going to do?" Darnley asked, watching her picking up something from her bag.

"Read," Beckett said simply, showing him her book.

"Another Castle book?" Darnley asked with a smile as if his friend had a book it was usually by that author.

"His newest," Beckett replied.

"You're still going to get it signed?" Darnley asked sleepily.

"I was planning to," Beckett replied.

"Lemme go with you, wanna see this guy that you like," Darnley mumbled.

Squeezing his hand as he soon after fell asleep Beckett got up from the side of the bed and sat down on the couch next to it. Opening the book she proceeded to read, making sure she glanced from time to time at her friend as she lost herself in the story.


"Really weird how I was, in a way, a part of your life back then," Castle said. "But he's alright now… he doesn't have any scars or anything does he?"

"The one he has here," Beckett told him, gesturing to her forehead. "Almost in the same place as yours. And the ridge on his nose, it was broken."

"I had wondered about that when I first met him but figured it might have happened before you knew him or after he'd left," Castle said. "So I never asked."

Beckett looked at him then and asked, "Anything else you want to know?"

"How'd the rest of the three days go?" Castle asked, not surprised she was able to guess he wanted to ask more.

"They were the same, we'd eat meals, talk and he'd enjoy gossiping," Beckett replied.

"You didn't?" Castle asked, startled. When his wife just smiled at him he grumbled a bit before he said, "What did you really do?"

"I'd read to him," Beckett said.

"My book?" Castle asked in surprise.

Shaking her head Beckett replied, "His books, usually they were from King."

"You know he prefers you to call him Stephen," Castle teased her.

"Which I do," Beckett said, having met the writer several times before. "But it was hard to recall that… the attack."

"I could tell," Castle replied, rubbing her upper arm. "How's he doing? Tonight I mean."

"He'll be doing very well," Beckett replied. "He told Trevor and I'm sure he'll need his husband to lean on."

Castle nodded, not surprised when she looked at him in surprise since he was aware she expected a smart ass comment, and he said, "They help."

Beckett smiled and said, "Yes you have."

"I wasn't really referring to myself," Castle said honestly. "But since you mentioned it…"

Rolling her eyes Beckett leaned against him again and murmured, "I'd never seen something like that, that kind of homophobia."

"I haven't at all," Castle said, holding her tighter to him.

"Sometimes I worry about Julia," Beckett said after they were quiet for a moment.

"We can't keep those kinds of people away from her but…" Castle started to say. "Things are very different from when Patrick was attacked."

"He said that to me," Beckett murmured. "The first time I talked to him earlier."

"He's smart, you should listen to him," Castle told her. When she smiled and shook her head he kissed the side of it and said, "But if you told him your fears he could honestly tell you she'd be alright. And I think he'd know; so would Skye now that I remembered her."

"True," Beckett said. "At least we're doing more than his parents did for him."

"A lot," Castle said quickly before he brushed his lips to hers so she wouldn't comment on that. When he pulled away from her he said, "Tired?"

"No," Beckett said. She was startled when her husband suddenly picked her up but she was able to grab onto him as soon as he'd started to move. When he laid her down on the bed she said, "You didn't really listen did you?"

"I did but I figured you'd want to move here, more comfortable," Castle told her seriously. He opened his mouth to speak when all of a sudden his wife's hand was on his groin, making him hiss in reaction.

"I was wondering about that," Beckett replied as she watched him shift as he moved away from her slightly to reposition himself.

"I couldn't help it," Castle said slowly, not sure if she was angry at him for that.

"I'm aware and I don't care," Beckett said. "It's nice to see that… it helps me forget for a little."

"Are you going to be able to forget?" Castle asked her seriously, watching her closely.

"No but I don't want it weighing so heavily on me; not now we're at home and with the case tomorrow," Beckett told him, her tone the same as his. She sat up then and wrapped her arms as tightly as she could around him, feeling him pull her tight against his chest before their lips met and then began to crush together hungrily. She felt her heart pounding heavily in response to that and the taste of her husband on her lips and tongue as they dueled together and then parted with him as they needed to breathe very shortly. "Too quick," she told him with a slight smile.

"That and I wanted to make sure you're alright with this," Castle told her, looking at her in slight concern.

"I don't think I would have kissed you like I just did if I wasn't," Beckett said easily. She reached out to him then and cupped his face with her hand before he took her wrist, pulling her toward him. She let him kiss her that time before they parted and she looked into his eyes, slightly smiling at him before she said, "Are you?"

"I'm not sure what to do," Castle said slowly.

"You're a horrible liar sometimes you know," Beckett told him as she studied the expression on his face. As she looked at him he reached up to cup her face and gently brushed his lips to hers. She was nearly shivering at how careful he was then but she kissed him back the best she could before he was slowly moving away. "If you wanted to do this we could," she told him.

"For the start," Castle told her simply. He pressed his forehead against hers and murmured, "I love you Kate."

"I love you too Rick," Beckett replied. "Thank you."

"I couldn't just let you remember this and be alone with the memory," Castle said with a slight shrug as he pulled away from her to look into her eyes. "After all Patrick isn't here; and he isn't married to you either you know."

"I'm aware," Beckett said, a slight smile on her face. She moved her head enough so they were close again and murmured, "You don't have to treat me like glass though."

"Are you sure? Because I honestly could," Castle told her.

"I'm sure," Beckett said, taking his lips then before he could say anything else. They kissed hungrily at first before things slowed down and they parted after some time, looking into his eyes that were nearly black from desire as he gazed at her adoringly.

When he touched her side Castle was slightly startled as his wife lay on her back though he hadn't told her anything. But he soon recovered and watched her settle down before he was lowering his head enough to take her lips once more. She held onto him while they kissed and continued to do so for some time. When she moved away from him he said, "I didn't want to start this second."

"Then you shouldn't have made me lay down," Beckett told him with a smile. She moved so her hands were underneath her head before she said, "Can I watch you?"

"Right now?" Castle asked, relieved to see her smile as he knew that she was feeling far better. At her nod he reached for the bottom of his shirt and pulled it up off of himself, seeing her reaching out for him. "You better sit up," he told her.

"I should," Beckett replied with a slight smile as she did so. As soon as she was she ran her hands down her husband's chest, smiling a little wider as he closed his eyes the instant she touched him. After she'd reached the waist of his pants she pulled them away and said, "Painful?"

It took Castle a second to realize what she'd said but the second he had he said, "Yeah."

"Well? Shouldn't you take everything off?" Beckett asked him as he just sat there staring at her.

With a nod Castle got off the bed and stood next to her side of it before removing the last of his clothes. He was moving to join her when Beckett grasped his erection and he froze as her hand began to slowly move up and down on him. "Wait," he said, pulling it away carefully. He then leaned down and kissed her deeply, pushing back on her so she was going back until she was lying on the middle of the mattress again. "Kate," he breathed for a moment before their lips were meeting once more.

Holding onto her husband as tightly as she could Beckett seemed to forget that she was still dressed and he helped her in that, kissing at her passionately until he moved to her neck. She wasn't sure when it happened but his hand was soon coming up to cup her breast before he froze. "What?" she asked as he'd pulled away abruptly.

"Sorry I was going to tear this shirt…" Castle began before he trailed off, sitting up again.

Watching him as he rubbed his eyes with the heels of his palms Beckett joined him and took his hands, pressing kisses to them before she reached for her shirt and pulled it off. She felt a rush of pleasure at the way he ogled her so blatantly and she kissed him gently before she moved to get off the bed to finish undressing. "What?" she said again when he stopped her. But before much time passed she watched as his ran his hands over her mounds, brushing deliberately against her nipples that were taut already. "You…" she began. "If you want to take them," she finally was able to say.

"I plan on it," Castle said, his hands sliding to her sides. He stared at what was exposed of her body and said, "Not yet though…"

Beckett bit her lower lip and said, "Thank you," before his hands went up to her breasts once more. She shuddered and bit at her lower lip roughly as he caressed them carefully, gently and she finally reached up, grasping his wrists tightly. "Let me lay down…" she told him as he looked at her questioningly.

Castle nodded and then watched her do so, following her and kissing her as deeply as he possibly could before they slowly parted and he bent his head to her breasts, kissing at them lovingly.

Sighing deeply in pleasure Beckett reached down and gently stroked the back of her husband's head as he went around her nipples but didn't touch them. As he did the same to them both repeatedly she was able to figure out quickly what he was doing and she groaned in disappointment. "Are you going to be like this all night?" she finally asked, unable to take it any longer.

"You don't want me to?" Castle asked, looking at her but using his right hand to cup her left breast gently.

"Just… don't focus on one place for too long," Beckett told him after thinking his question over for a moment. She wasn't surprised when his response to that was to lean down and lightly brush his lips to her before he almost seemed to devour the nipple he'd been discreetly rubbing his palm against. She cried out in joy and slight surprise before she had her fingers through his hair again, that time raking her nails over his scalp repeatedly as the pleasure hit her roughly and thoroughly.

When her other hand reached down to grasp at his shoulder Castle nearly broke away from her to kiss her. But before he did that her leg slung around him, making him thrust just a bit against her before he stopped himself. "Here," he said, using the distraction she'd provided for him.

A little startled Beckett got off the bed and undressed fully to her husband's hungry gaze before she moved over to him kissing him as she slightly bent over, their tongues meeting. All of a sudden a cry left her mouth as he rolled her onto her back and she moved away from his lips. "You changed your mind," she told him with a smile as he was staring at her a little adoringly.

"No I just wanted to hurry," Castle admitted to her. He smiled when she did and said, "For a second."

"I thought so," Beckett replied. She kissed him and said, "You can get back to it."

"Sure," Castle said simply before his wife was drawing him to her lips. He went along with her kiss as he held her the best he could with one hand until finally they parted. He moved away from her enough to say, "But if I do too much…"

"You're talking as if you're never been with me before," Beckett told him teasingly.

"You make a good point," Castle said as he'd said something similar to that when they'd first gotten together. He brushed his lips against her neck, feeling her pulse racing underneath them, and then he moved down to her collarbone. Sliding his lips there he felt her gently trembling before he said, "I can't help it," against her skin before he got up, taking her with him. As soon as she was on her knees as he was he wrapped his arms around her, placing his hands on the small of her back before they were hungrily kissing one another. As soon as they stopped he planned to start doing the same to her but she beat him, beginning to kiss his chest, and he couldn't stop her as the warmth that provided was quick. "I see…" he breathed out heavily as she rubbed her thumb around his left nipple. "What you were talking about."

"I had a feeling but I don't want to stop," Beckett said, smiling at him.

"So…" Castle started to say.

"On the bed," Beckett said, nodding to where she'd been laying. She smiled as he leaned over to her; stopping when he took her lips gently and she returned his kiss. As soon as they had stopped she pushed him down since he was moving already and she pressed herself against his front and ran her tongue over his lower lip. "Do you mind?"

"You're asking me that now?" Castle asked in amusement.

"Yes," Beckett said before he pulled her closer. She kept her lips away from him and said, "I have to ask just one thing, you don't mind I'm taking over?"

"How do you know you're not only doing that temporarily?" Castle responded with a question.

Beckett smirked in amusement and then moved, placing her tongue directly on the middle of his chest. While she lowered it as agonizingly slowly as she could she listened to the way her husband was groaning in reaction to her. She smiled inwardly since she couldn't do so physically and stopped what she was doing and shifted her body down so she was at his abdomen. She smiled as she sat up on her knees next to him, his gaze on her adoring, before she thought of something.

Seeing the way her expression changed Castle hurriedly sat up and placed his hand on her shoulder asking her, "Are you okay?"

"No… I mean yes, I'm fine," Beckett replied, leaning over and kissing him gently. "I just had the thought doing all this after what we talked about might make me heartless but I know," she said quickly when she saw the expression on her husband's face. "I'm not."

"If you're changing your-" Castle began before she kissed him. "Just a moment of doubt?" he then asked.

"Kiss me," Beckett replied. She was ready for him as soon as he got up again and that time they stayed that way, kissing one another as hungrily as they could for some time until they had to stop for more than just mere moments.

Gently stroking her hair Castle looked at her and said, "Lay down with me okay?"

With the way he said that Beckett couldn't really find it in her to protest so she did, pressing herself against his side as she laid her cheek against his shoulder. "I guess there is some good coming out of this," she commented, breaking the silence of the room.

"Which is what?" Castle asked, a little surprised.

"We're dragging this out," Beckett said. When her husband shifted under her she then said, "Not that we're usually fast but…"

"Tantric sex?" Castle asked her.

"I think this is as close as we'll ever get," Beckett replied with a soft laugh, raising her head to look down at him.

"I guess so," Castle nearly chuckled. He reached up to her and gently cupped her cheek, that time with the express purpose of stroking her lower lip with his thumb. "Tell me how you're feeling right now Kate," he asked her, his voice husky with pleasure.

Smiling as he traced her lip with his finger Beckett told him, "Aroused… heavily."

"How much?" Castle asked.

"I think I can equate it to what you're going through right now," Beckett said, looking at his erection pointedly.

"Ah… painful," Castle said. He smiled when she rolled her eyes but then told her seriously, "Let me know whenever you want to continue… if you want me to."

"I do," Beckett murmured to him before she kissed him as he held onto her tightly. She wasn't surprised when he rolled her onto her back and waited for him to move once they'd finished. Looking on almost breathlessly she saw him flick his tongue around her skin, whatever he could touch he took, lapping at her nearly until he reached her abdomen. He breathed out heavily and she said, "Keep going I'm ready, please."

"So am I," Castle told her before he them moved to trail his lips over her that time. He reached her clit, slightly stunned at how hot her swollen nub was, and he shuddered heavily before he took it in his mouth.

Crying out deliriously at the sensation of him sucking her tenderly Beckett didn't realize that she had moved her body until Castle was holding her down by her thighs. She gasped as he proceeded to move his head up and down while he continued to do that and she had no idea how long she could withstand the motion as it was working her up much faster. She cried out as his fingers slid against her entrance and the slick folds there before he moved away. "Oh god," she gasped out loudly. "You're…"

Shaking his head as he knew what she was thinking Castle hurried to switch his fingers and mouth, delighting in the cries that his wife gave him. He didn't stop, wanting to push her over the edge though he told himself to switch a second time to drag things out a little longer. But before he could remember to do so she was nearly screaming his name and he glanced up her body to find her tilting her head back and forth repeatedly as he could feel her orgasm with his tongue.

When she had finally stopped and finally calmed down Beckett couldn't really move, limp and spent as she felt her husband moving against her side. "Thank you," she whispered to him, turning to him.

"I'll say the same," Castle said, laying on his side and then reaching down with his hand to firmly cup her sex with his hand.

"Careful," Beckett said, smiling at him. "I'm still a little sensitive."

"I know," Castle said. He watched her recovering and he said, "You're quick. Not in that way." He smiled when she nearly glared at him but then continued telling her, "I mean to recover."

"With your hand where it is I'm not really sure how I couldn't," Beckett said as he was rubbing at her sex. She gasped and moaned softly, shifting as she couldn't help herself since he was making the pleasure stir within her once more. "Rick…" she breathed out hard. "Wait, stop," she told him, not sure how she was able to speak so firmly but finally able.

"Sorry?" Castle asked, watching her move away from him. He was startled when she pushed on his shoulders but soon realized what she had in mind with the way she looked at him. "I might be-" he started to tell her before she kissed him, effectively cutting him off. He groaned at the ferocity of that and placed his hands on her back before he then responded and they were dueling once more until he pulled back with a loud groan. "Kate," he hissed as she was grasping him in her hand. He looked down at himself, though her hand was in the way, and he hissed heavily again when she proceeded to move. "I love you don't mind doing this," he couldn't help confess to her.

"I found it wasn't that bad," Beckett said. "Especially with you." She brushed her lips against his before she lowered her head and then wrapped his member with her mouth, bobbing it up and down on him before her hands both came into play taking turns to stimulate him as he was moving and groaning heavily in enjoyment. She continued to work on him until finally he broke, calling out her name as he held onto her by the back of her head which she appreciated. When he had stopped she moved up along him trailing her hand over his body slowly until finally she was lying at his side, face propped on her hand while she caressed his cheek and shoulder while he was the one recovering that time.

Breathing out once he was sure he could talk Castle said, "My turn."

"It was," Beckett said, knowing he was referring to that. She then leaned down and kissed him saying, "It's interesting when you come."

"Why?" Castle asked, threading his fingers carefully through her hair and gently scratching at her scalp.

"Hmm," Beckett said in reply instead of answering, closing her eyes in pleasure at his touch. When she recovered she then answered him saying, "Just the taste of you."

"You… don't… mind?" Castle asked slowly. When she merely smiled at him he jerked backwards in response; though he was already lying on the bed; and said, "I guess that's a no."

"I think that is," Beckett replied, moving out of his way. "Again," she told him teasingly. She was slightly startled when he kissed her before slowly withdrawing and she said, "What?" as she could tell that he was going to say something.

"You're really good at that," Castle told her seriously. "And I'm not being crass I just wonder-"

"I never did," Beckett cut him off as she knew then what he wanted to ask. "You've always wanted to ask me that haven't you?"

Nodding Castle then said, "I didn't think it was something you did out of habit or to keep from having to have sex."

"I just turned down the guy that I was with," Beckett said, looking on as he leaned down and kissed her shoulder lovingly. "If I didn't want to I didn't have to." When he looked up to her she kissed him gently and pulling away asked, "Do you want me to do that again?"

"Once was enough," Castle said simply. "What do you want to do now?"

Beckett pretended to think that over for a moment before she said, "Get on your knees."

"Gladly," Castle replied as he rushed to complete her request. Once he had he wasn't all that startled to be taking his wife into his arms again and he said, "You…" But that was all he could get out as she was grasping his erection that was still there and nestled it between her legs. He had to breathe a little roughly a few times before he said, "You…"

"You said that already," Beckett said, smiling though she wasn't unaffected feeling him as rigid against her as he was. "No good?" she asked then, thrusting slightly with just her hips.

"Yeah… I mean, wait," Castle said, holding her by her hips to stop her. He groaned as she didn't let him until she'd thrust twice more and then held her still saying, "This is good but how far are you?"

"We'll have time," Beckett said. She tried to move again when he kept her still and she said in slight frustration, "What is it?"

"What about when we…" Castle said, nodding his head to one side. He was startled when she started to laugh and took her kiss before he said, "I'm assuming you'll take care of it."

"Oh no," Beckett told him, looking deep into his eyes. "You will." And with that she began to move with him, groaning as he did as the pleasure was swift since he was managing to rub against her clit firmly.

Moving his hands to the small of his wife's back Castle watched her, letting her control how fast they were both moving since he followed her lead. He groaned heavily as she sped up but quickly slowed down right after, making him curse bitterly. "You don't have to do that," he told her through gritted teeth.

Smiling and stopping Beckett squeezed her arms that were around his neck and told him, "Are you sure?"

"I… yes, why?" Castle asked, startled for a moment by the response. He was startled fully when she moved away from him and he watched her lay down where he'd been while she'd pleasured him. He followed rapidly but before he could get to her he saw her fingers reaching down for her own clit. "Kate," he breathed out in awe as she rubbed at herself. He watched her, not realizing that his tone had gone to the expression on his face.

Beckett, biting her lower lip at what she was making herself feel, looked up at him and murmured, "Take them."

"Take… are you sure," Castle asked, wondering why he was so rattled. When she closed her eyes tightly and let out a moan of joy he couldn't stop himself and lowered his head, nuzzling his nose and lips against her right breast. He groaned as she grasped at the back of his head which led to her crying out heavily. The chain reaction his touch had caused nearly pushed him to move so he could slide into her. Finally he moved away and said, "You might come too soon," he told her.

"I trust you to keep that from happening," Beckett said, her hand on the back of his head moving. She was going to grasp her own breast but then stopped herself, her cheeks heating up at the way her husband was watching her so closely.

"Go ahead," Castle told her firmly. "Let me see what you do."

Though she'd touched herself for him before Beckett couldn't help feeling a rush of arousal at the obvious desire in his voice and she didn't bother to try and protest, instead reaching up to her breast and grasping it gently before she let out a gasp. She watched Castle lean over then, kissing around her fingers though she was covering the mound mostly. After a while, and feeling how hard he was trying to touch her skin with his lips, she moved her hand away and watched him kiss the bared flesh. She gasped out as his tongue flicked out between his lips a few times before he moved back to stare down at her. She had to wonder how she looked exactly in that moment but judging by the way her husband was gazing at her form she guessed it was more than enough for him.

Lowering his head Castle proceeded to kiss at both breasts again; to distract his wife; before he took her right nipple into his mouth. Suckling at it he wasn't surprised when she grasped at the back of his head, raking her nails over the back of it again until he was moving to her other mound by trailing kisses over her lips. When he reached it he proceeded to do the same thing there until finally he tore himself away and said, "Tell me what you want me to do next," almost breathless. He tried not to cheer out loud as she pulled him fully onto her and moved so he slid inside of her with her help. They groaned together in pleasure at the sensation of them coupling so tightly as one and he couldn't stop himself, thrusting frantically as soon as he was fully within her. Her cry of pleasure was a relief as it meant she was alright with that and the way her legs wrapped so tightly around his sides was another indication, spurring him to move even harder than before.

Holding her husband so tightly to her Beckett couldn't help feel elated at something other than the way he was moving so hard within her. He was warm against her, his skin a contrast as it slid along her own and she gasped out his name, trying to tell him how she felt though she couldn't really speak. She was relieved when he thrust twice more and then stopped before he kissed her as hungrily as she knew he possibly could. Stroking at the back of his head a number of times more she then worked her tongue into his mouth before they tangled together again there. They continued to do that for a long time until finally they were parting, panting with their breath hitting each other's lips. "What will you do?" she asked as he remained still within her.

"Love you," Castle said simply before he crushed his lips back to hers while at the same time he was thrusting again. He was rough and hard, something in him telling him to do so, that she would like it. His eyes were nearly rolling into the back of his head feeling the way she was taking him within her so deeply and how they were generating so much friction. He breathed out hard a few times after he'd stopped kissing her and then watched her, his eyes on her arms as they reached above her and pushed against the headboard to bring her against him rapidly.

When her husband started to speak Beckett was slightly startled as he began to coach her in the force of her pushing against the headboard. She allowed him that though she was moving as she wanted to and kept doing that until finally he stopped. "How often do you… do you plan to do that tonight?" she asked, having to pause to catch her breath.

Smiling briefly Castle said, "I figure as long as it takes to make you beg for me."

Noticing the way he was starting at her Beckett hurriedly told him, "That would be incredible." She wasn't surprised when he kissed her and she could feel his joy as he did. They stayed together like that for a bit longer before finally they slowly parted and smiled at each other. She wasn't sure what pushed them to kiss yet again but didn't worry about it as they hungrily dueled yet again. Parting she watched him place her right ankle on his shoulder and she was quick to push herself up on her elbows so she was close to him and they kissed before they began to move. While they were getting their rhythm set yet again she slid her left leg up along his side further until she was at the point of being uncomfortable. He was getting deep within her and she moaned into his mouth while their friction was building up. She scraped against his scalp before she had to bring her arm down to support her weight. She arched her back as he lowered his head to her chest, bringing it closer to him as he kissed and sucked at her breasts repeatedly.

Loving the cries coming out of his wife's mouth at his touch and his thrusts Castle wondered how many times he was going to need to stop as things were becoming overwhelming. But he distracted them both by kissing her repeatedly and then descending to her neck and breasts whenever he needed to calm down. Finally he had to press his forehead against Beckett's, unable to do anything else without catching his breath enough. Sighing he murmured against her lips, "I have to."

"It's alright," Beckett assured him, gently rubbing the back of his neck as he stopped. She smiled at him as he bowed his head and said to him lovingly, "It's been amazing up to now."

"It has," Castle told her earnestly. "You've been incredible," he said to her seriously as he stared into her eyes intently.

Beckett was a little surprised before her husband suddenly turned her around to her knees and she kissed him before saying, "Fuck me against the table next."

Castle was startled by her request but he couldn't deny that she'd thrilled him wildly and he kissed her hard before she began to move on him. Almost instantly she was stopping and he got onto his knees before they thrust towards each other again, grasping onto one another as hard as they could and he groaned to her, "Let us… let us come this time love."

"As long as you…" Beckett began to say before her husband was kissing at her breasts and then cupping them firmly. She let out a heavy cry at his touch and she tilted his head up to hers so they would kiss once more until she stopped. She couldn't help the smile that spread across her lips telling him, "Just once."

Groaning and falling back on the bed Castle said, "I guess we're just going to kill one another tonight."

"You assume too much," Beckett said. "It's not like we've never been there," she told him, gesturing with her head behind her to the table.

"Yeah," Castle said absently as he was running his hand down her side. He was distracted yet again but that time by her pulling his wrist so he was sitting up. He gazed at her as she caressed his face and he said, "I'm another year older."

Beckett laughed; since he'd tell her that every once in a while; and kissed him quickly before telling him, "I don't think you need to really be concerned about that. The only reason we need to stop is because we push each other too hard."

"It's so difficult to keep from doing that," Castle said, rolling his eyes on the word so. As Beckett sighed in mock frustration he then looked at her body and nearly drooling said, "Wanna fuck again?"

Though she wanted to berate him; teasingly; for how he'd worded that Beckett couldn't stop the thrill of pleasure that raced up her spine and she leaned over to kiss him. As soon as that was finished she spread her legs a bit more before they began to move against each other. She held onto him tightly by the back of his neck and watched him as they locked gazes and continued to stare at one another as they reached their rhythm. "Oh… I did… I couldn't help it," she breathed to her husband. "And again," she then told him, their lips brushing together though they didn't actually kiss.

Grunting and the obvious need in her tone Castle slid his hands up her back before he got a sudden idea. He reached down and slapped her ass, hissing when she nearly dislodged him from her body. But they just managed to stay together and he held her tighter to him, feeling her breasts brushing against his chest before they began to kiss. That time they were frantic and knew they were close to the edge, hoping they had a little more time. But finally he pulled away from her, watching her do her best to continue though her thrusts were becoming more and more inconsistent. He couldn't stop her then and he leaned over whispering in her ear, "Come for me my love, I can't take it anymore… you're driving me crazy."

Beckett gasped out slightly at his tone and the way he firmly grasped her ass before she tried to thrust a little less haphazardly. But she wasn't able to last for much longer as her husband whispered to her once more telling her, "My fucking goddess come so I can take you against the table like you wanted. Think about how it'll feel… me against your back, against your breasts, kissing them until you weep from pleasure. Come Kate, now." That was enough for her and the tightly coiled sensation of her impending orgasm snapped completely. Her back arched and she was sure she could have fallen back on the bed if her husband wasn't holding her firmly by it. She called out his name repeatedly, unable to stop as the pleasure made her burn and she felt it intensify as her husband joined her in his own pleasure. Her name on his lips joined what she was calling until she couldn't speak and it was him on his own, literally riding him until finally she stopped shuddering heavily and leaning against him as he continued to move a little wildly for a bit longer.

When he'd calmed slightly from the ferocity of his pleasure Castle said, "Yeah I'm sticking with you trying to kill me."

Beckett pressed her lips to his forehead and murmured, "You've been doing that to me."

"Really?" Castle asked, pulling away from her then to look her in the eye.

Smiling; as she knew her husband wasn't serious in his questioning; Beckett kissed him on the lips and told him, "I appreciate this you know," serious at the end of that.

"I'm just glad to see you're okay," Castle said. "Smiling too."

Beckett did so but then leaned over, kissing him on the lips gently before they slowly parted and she said, "Could you…"

Brushing his lips against her neck Castle let go of her so she could get off of him and he watched her get off the bed next. He followed her and said, "You're a temptress, a vixen," as he rushed after her, holding her to him before they got all the way around the bed.

"Hmm," Beckett sighed with a smile as he kissed the backs of both of her shoulders numerous times and then pulled away. She glanced back at him saying, "You want to get on the floor right here?"

Shuddering; as he was aware she wanted him to do; Castle shook his head and said, "Come on," leading her. He paused as he turned to her at the table and said, "You just completely manipulated me into that didn't you?"

Smirking Beckett said, "Maybe," leaning against the table as she faced him.

Almost growling Castle reached for her and pulled her to him so he could kiss her, not stopping until they were both breathless. As they parted at the same time he saw her lips were swollen and he suppressed a shudder, her eyes dilated with her arousal. He moved again, letting her go to let her lean against the table facing away from him. Pressing against her from behind he murmured, "You're sure?"

"Yes, please," Beckett begged him, reaching behind her to hold onto the back of his head.

At that Castle had no reason to delay and he slid inside of her slowly until he was fully within her. He began to thrust very shortly after when he realized that she was more than ready for him and swore as she cried out in front of him since Beckett had begun to move at the same time. He kissed the back of her head lovingly as the shock of pleasure made them both stop and he murmured her name before he started to move again. She cried out and he hissed hard before he caught his pace he needed. The friction started up between them once more and he then became a little frenzied as he wanted to try and find her g-spot but was having some difficulty. He wanted to ask her for her help but before he could even say a word she was suddenly moving, leaning over the table and grasping the other side of it with her hands tightly. That spurred him on to move faster, actually moving the whole thing as well as his wife's body as she cried out to him, his groans soon joining her to echo in the room.

Becoming a little concerned at the noise the table was making Beckett was going to stop them when her husband did so. She couldn't help the laugh that left her lips and said, "We've never done that before."

"I think I'm a little too eager," Castle said, panting hard for a moment before he withdrew from her. He joined her in groaning in dismay at the sensation before he waited for her to turn around. He held her to him before she could get on top of the table and they kissed one another tenderly before he leaned down to her neck and kissed it, then ducked lower.

"The floor on our knees is always an option," Beckett told him, breathing out a laugh.

Castle didn't answer at first as he kissed around her breasts for a few seconds and then raised his head to kiss her lips. "It is but it's not how I want you," he told her. "Or how you want me is it?" He wasn't surprised when she pecked his lips with a chaste kiss before she climbed up onto the table. He allowed her to pull him to her and he set his hands on either side of her saying, "You think you can last longer?"

"You're asking my permission to keep going?" Beckett asked in slight amusement.

"I'd like us to agree on this," he told her as he leaned into her. He let her initiate their next kiss before she pulled away and he said, "It's okay."

"Yes," Beckett told him before they were kissing once more and holding on tightly to each other. She felt him soon coming to her and though they were already spread she tried to get her legs further apart before her husband was sinking inside of her body. She moaned into his lips before they parted and she held him to her tightly so he wouldn't get too far from her. She caressed his face as his eyes closed and she was soon following suit, their hips smacking together hard and making her moan before she was gently pushed back. Resting on her hands she then watched him start to rub at her clit, moaning again as the first touch was a shock to her system she had to try and recover from the best she could.

Feeling his wife's legs trying to pull him closer Castle looked down at the apex of her legs before he started to use just his thumb. Rolling it around her clit he groaned as she bucked her hips up towards him and he watched her reach over to his wrist, grasping it tightly. He knew that she was expecting him to question if she wanted him to stop but he just kept going, loving the way she reacted so vocally to that. Eventually he could sense her frustration and he allowed her to pull him against her as they thrust wildly, the smack of their hips becoming discordant. "I love you… I love this," he told her huskily and a little deliriously. As he pressed his forehead against hers he told her, "I love you," very simply as his pleasure was taking him over fully.

There was a little more time that the two were thrusting in unison but Beckett soon began to climax and Castle was following her rapidly over the edge before they kissed, covering the sounds of their ecstasy. Continuing to thrust together until they were sated they soon stopped and smiled at each other before they were kissing once more. He pulled her off the table once they'd parted and he let her walk ahead of him to the bed where she then laid down.

"Okay?" Castle asked her, looking at her closely as he joined her.

"Hmm, I am," Beckett sighed, her body still throbbing in the aftermath. She wasn't surprised when he immediately wrapped his arms around her once he was lying down and she turned to him, pressing close against him. They kissed deeply and she curled her tongue around his as he was doing the same to her. When they'd stopped she smiled and said, "I think we should go on that ride."

"I don't see how we couldn't," Castle said. "You don't need to worry about Sydney, she'll be taken care of," he assured her.

"I know," Beckett replied thoughtfully. When her husband asked her what was wrong she said, "Nothing, I was just thinking about how we handled her really easily." She looked over at him and said, "I wondered how it was going to go."

Shrugging with only one shoulder Castle said, "It was like we had Dani over when she was younger."

Smiling and then nodding in agreement Beckett said, "That's true but I was more focused on the girls… and then remembering."

Kissing her temple Castle said, "How're you feeling right now?"

"Full," Beckett said immediately. She tried not to laugh at her husband's wide eyes and said, "I'm not kidding; there wasn't much time between the two."

"True," Castle said slowly. He was distracted when she drew him down to her by cupping his cheek and he kissed her very slowly and sensuously. Pressing his forehead against hers he murmured, "Should we get some sleep?" He wasn't surprised when she shook her head and said, "Then can I…?"

With one nod of her head Beckett watched as her husband then began to kiss her body though at first she couldn't see him doing so. But as he went down her abdomen she smiled and said, "Hurry."

Looking up at her for a moment Castle kissed down to her mound before he moved up to her face, pressing his lips against hers gently before he murmured, "I love you Kate."

"I love you too Rick," Beckett replied before they were kissing one another once more but much harder than before. As he moved away from her she whispered, "Make love to me?"

"Whenever you want," Castle said.

"I want you now," Beckett told him seriously. A smile spread across her face as he lay on top of her and she took him within her once more, their lips meeting before they literally devoured each other.

Making love then Castle and Beckett did everything they could to pleasure each other and it added to their passion. They found it difficult to stop as they were tempted after each bout from then on to feel more though their fatigue began to grow. But as long as they were involved in each other they took every second they could to indulge their addiction to one another and explore that as far as their could to their complete ecstasy.
