"Nice shot," Castle said as he watched Eliza hit her ball into the last hole of the pirate themed golf course.
"How many did I take?" the little girl asked, smiling at her parents.
"It doesn't matter," Jim answered before they could. "We're not keeping score."
"We're not," Castle said quickly as he knew his father in law was asking to make sure. "Julia?"
After the girl had hit the golf ball into the hole Beckett went next, then Jim before Castle did the same and the family returned their clubs. Since they'd gone on some of the kiddie rides before playing miniature golf they had two more things Castle had decided they would do. Since it was his choice he led them over to the go karts and after Jim said he'd meet them at the exit they went into the line two by two.
"Can I drive at all?" Julia asked her mother.
"You can," Beckett answered. "Are you sure this is how you want to go?"
"I do," Eliza said, smiling as she was standing with Castle, holding his hand.
"You have to let me drive sweetheart," he told her, smiling down at her.
"Okay," Eliza said before she turned to look at the karts on the track.
"Rick," Beckett said, looking at the cars as some pulled up to the front. "They only have one seat."
"What?" Castle said, leaning his head over to see. "Oh man," he groaned when he saw that she was right. He sighed as he looked at the two girls and said, "I think we should just go to the arcade."
"No, you and Mommy race," Julia and her sister said at nearly the same time. They looked at one another and smiled before they looked back to their parents.
"Come on," Beckett said, taking Julia by the hand with her over to the end of the line.
"What happened?" Jim asked when he saw them walking up to him.
"There's only one seat in the cars," Castle answered. "We were going to head over to the arcade but they still want us to go on them."
"To race?" Jim asked, smiling slightly at his daughter.
"We'll go quickly," Beckett said simply before her husband was taking her hand and pulling her back into the line.
"I'm surprised you two didn't want to go play the games," Jim said to his granddaughters as they stood at the fence to watch the race track.
"We wanted to see how much they'd… compete," Julia said before she was sure that last word was the one she wanted to use.
"How often do they?" Jim asked in slight concern.
"Not a lot, mostly when they play cards," Julia said.
"They like to make jokes a lot," Eliza added. "Look!" she cried. "Mommy, Daddy!" she cried out, waving to them before they passed rapidly.
Julia couldn't help but giggle then and she said, "I knew Mommy was going to be in first."
"When she couldn't ride horses anymore she liked to race cars," Jim explained to the girls.
"Did she think that it was as good as riding?" Julia asked him before they waved to the two going back again.
"She would say she loved it; and her motorcycle; but I think she always wanted to go back to riding horses," Jim replied with a smile on his face as they turned back to the track.
Pulling up to the loading area Beckett looked at her husband as he came next to her and she said, "Not bad."
"I know I wasn't too far away," Castle said as he stood up. He took her hand though she was already out of the cart she'd ridden in and pressed his lips to the back of it before they hurried to join their daughters and her father to begin playing what games they could until it was time for dinner.
Jumping up and down next to the large jukebox at the restaurant Eliza looked at her big sister and smiled as she was watching her. "I don't dance like you do," she said quickly as she walked over to her and took her hand.
"I know but still at least you like to dance still," Julia replied. "Come on, Mommy said we're going to sit down."
Nodding Eliza let her pull her over to their family who was standing and waiting to be seated. After she was in a booster seat next to her grandfather; she and her sister on either side of him; she said to her parents on the other side of the table, "Do we get a cake?"
"A cake?" Castle asked in amusement. "It's not a birthday."
"You can get a small shake," Beckett told the two. "And that will be your dessert." When they were looking at the menu again she smiled and said to her husband, "I'm assuming you'll be getting the same?"
"Of course," Castle said simply. "And you?"
"She'll have a soda," Jim replied. When his son in law looked at him in a little surprise he explained, "When we would go to the diners in the city she always got the same thing, cherry soda with-"
"A hint of root beer," Castle interrupted him. He smiled and said, "She's had the same with me but I didn't realize that she started having it with you."
"And her mother," Jim said, glancing at his granddaughters and seeing they looked enthralled at the story. He said, "There isn't much else to say."
"No there is," Beckett said with a smile. "But after we order I'll tell you," she said when she saw the waiter coming over to them. She waited until they had finished and were alone again and she said, "There was a counter usually just like those," pointing to the countertop seating they could see from their table.
"We'd sit there," Jim said as his daughter was looking at him. "Since your grandmama had sat there when she was young going to them. And your mother would always spin on the chairs until we could stop her."
"And beg them to tell me stories about when they used to go to diners and soda fountains," Beckett finished with a smile. "Those were really nice stories," she said to her father.
"They were fun dates," Jim said, smiling nostalgically.
"What are we gonna do after dinner?" Julia asked then as they were quiet.
"Well I'm hoping someone got me a gift," Castle said, smiling at her.
"Mommy did," Julia said with a wide smile.
"They did too," Beckett said, shaking her head at the girls. She then looked at her father and said, "The same for you Dad."
Nodding Jim said, "You didn't need to."
"It's Father's Day," Eliza said quickly.
"We wanted to get gifts too," Julia added. "Oh and the one from us is from 'lexis too."
"In case you were wondering why I didn't have a gift to hand you while we were talking to Alexis," Beckett replied.
They were being served their food then so Jim waited until he could speak and he said, "I didn't care, she didn't need to get me anything."
"You are her grandfather," Castle said with a slight shrug. "So she pitched in with the gift."
"Girls," Beckett then said to the two as they were watching them. "Eat please okay?" When she was sure they were doing so she turned to her meal and after they had eaten for a while she then told them, "Not too fast we will get home soon."
"We know, we're hungry," Julia told her.
"Very," Eliza told the others before she went back to her grilled cheese sandwich. She listened to the others talking about the day and then the competition which she smiled at as that led to any new dances that Julia might know she would be dancing the next year. Sipping the last of her milkshake she asked her sister, "Is the Lindy Hop hard?"
"I did try it before but it wasn't too bad," Julia replied as they were helped out of the booth. She smiled and said, "But that was just some quick steps. I have to see what it's really like when I go back to dance class."
Beckett took the girls' hands then and led them out to the car while Castle was paying and once he was with them they got inside and she drove them back to the house. Once they were in the garage she wasn't surprised when the dogs came out one by one and she said, "They missed us," to the others.
"I think they did," Castle said, nodding their heads. "Okay so we should… do something."
"Go to the family room," Beckett said to her husband and father, rolling her eyes at the former. "We'll meet you in there."
"Mommy you think they'll like them?" Eliza asked her mother as they went over to the office.
"Yes," Beckett replied shortly, getting the gifts out of the cabinet on her side she'd left them in. "Go on and give those to them."
"What about you?" Julia asked her.
"I'll be right behind you," Beckett said reassuringly before she followed them out and to the room down the hall where Castle and her father were already seated, waiting for them.
"Oh thank you," Castle told his daughters when Julia handed a box to him and Eliza went to Jim.
"Don't shake it Rick," Beckett told him as she handed both him and her father gifts from her.
"You can open it now Daddy," Eliza said, watching Jim do so with the gift from her and her sisters.
Taking out the picture frame inside the box Beckett's father smiled at the two pictures that were in it. The one on the left was of him with his daughter when she had been ten; the one on the right was of him with his three granddaughters on the Ha'penny Bridge in Dublin the summer before. "It's perfect," he said to the girls who were watching him anxiously.
"I got the idea and I told 'lexis she should be in the picture we picked too," Julia said.
"Did she want to be?" Jim asked. When the two nodded he smiled and said, "I'll call her tomorrow and thank her too."
"Where are you gonna put it?" Eliza asked as she watched him opening up the gift from her mother.
Jim was going to answer when he pulled out the book that was inside the box and smiled at his daughter. "You found it," he commented.
"I did," Beckett said with a smile. "Again that bookshop in Dublin."
"Good thing we found it," Castle said, as he'd known already that his wife was going to get for her father; a first edition copy of Finnegans Wake. He then realized that his wife was looking at him and he quickly corrected himself, "She found it."
"Open yours now Daddy," Julia said quickly.
Castle turned his attention to the first box he'd gotten from her and pulled off the lid once he had the wrapping paper off. Reaching into the box he pulled out a book and opening it to the first page smiled as it was of a picture he knew Julia had taken. The next was one Eliza had taken and as he went through a few more pages he saw that all his daughters' pictures were in there. "This one's definitely great," he told the girls, Eliza having walked over to him. "And you have great pictures too."
"We did the best we did Daddy," Eliza said quickly.
"You did, I can tell," Castle assured her with a smile. "You're all great photographers."
"Now the one from Mommy," Eliza said, smiling herself.
With a nod Castle began to unwrap the box that she had given him and taking off the lid found a frame inside. "You too love…" he started to say before he trailed off.
"No?" Beckett said teasingly as he was studying the picture.
"It's a great picture," Castle said quickly as it was of him with her and their family at the ball the summer before. "Where do you want to hang this?"
"I think in the office will be good," Beckett said.
Knowing which picture she was thinking of replacing Castle nodded and said, "Good idea, we'll get them switched tomorrow." He set the picture back into its box and then turned to his wife, kissing her on the lips gently. "Okay," he told the girls who were watching them. "Come here, let me say thank you to you guys too."
Rushing into their father's arms the girls hugged him tightly before they were urged to get a game to play until Eliza needed to go to bed.
Watching them Castle murmured to his wife, "This has been a fun day."
"It has," Beckett said, squeezing her husband's hand tightly before they turned their attention back to their daughters. She murmured something into his ear and smiled when he looked at her, nodding before they helped Julia get the game board for Life set up and began to play.
"So what do you think?" Castle asked his wife as he watched her.
"I think I have to tell you something Rick," Beckett replied. "You cannot move your hips for the life of you."
Groaning in frustration Castle said, "How can you do it so well?"
"I don't know," Beckett replied. "Just keep practicing okay? I'm sure you'll get used to it more and more."
"Show me again," Castle told her pleadingly.
"No, our daughter is up and we need to get her back to bed," Beckett said, walking to the wide doorway of the parlor where they had been practicing the Samba steps they'd last learned at his insistence.
"Sorry, I thought you might do that," Julia said shyly.
"It was a very short practice," Castle said, joining his wife. "But you probably should head to bed now."
Sighing Julia said, "Now it's summer-"
"We're going to let you and your sister stay up a little longer," Beckett interrupted as they stood at the bottom of the stairs. "Since we'll be on vacation but for now get some rest."
With a nod Julia said, "You're gonna go to bed too?"
"No more practicing," Castle said, smiling as his wife was looking at him questioningly.
At that Julia let her mother take her up the stairs before they went to Eliza's room, making her smile. She watched as her parents went to her sister's bed, making sure she was set with the bed sheet while she herself pet Rita on the head where she was laying at the end of the bed. When they were outside together she said, "I thought she might stay awake."
"We did a lot today," Castle said with a slight smile. "So she was tired."
"I sorta am," Julia said.
When they were inside the bedroom Castle said to her, "Did you see much of us dancing?"
"A little," Julia replied, trying not to giggle. "And Mommy was right, you can't move your hips that good but she was right too you need to practice."
"Which I will," Castle promised her solemnly. "Come on, back into bed," he told her before he watched her climb up onto it. "I wonder why he didn't follow you," he commented as he watched her hugging Macca around the neck.
"He's tired," Julia said simply. Sitting up in bed she hugged her father and kissed him, murmuring she loved him again before she did the same to her mother and they told her the same. "Tomorrow?" she asked them while she lay down.
"We're going to swim of course," Castle said. "But besides that…"
"We'll see how things go," Beckett took up when her husband looked at her. "Goodnight sweetie."
"Goodnight," Castle added. When Julia had said the same to them they left together and headed down to their room. Inside he was about to speak to her when she suddenly did so.
"How was it today?" Beckett asked him with a smile as she turned to him.
"Good," Castle said. "Really, I enjoyed it and thank you for the gifts."
"I have another for you today," Beckett said. She wasn't surprised when her husband froze but was when he recovered rapidly and then reached for her wrist though she hadn't moved. "What is it?" she asked in slight concern.
"I was thinking earlier about when we said goodbye to the Beaches," Castle told her. "And something I have to ask you about that. What was Patrick talking to you about before he got on the train?"
Beckett; though she wasn't surprised he'd recalled that; still bit at her lower lip before she said, "We should sit, this might take a while."
As they moved to the end of the bed Castle wondered why exactly she'd had that reaction when he suddenly thought of something and said, "Did you get drunk and sleep together?"
"No," Beckett said, looking at him with a stunned expression on her face. "Oh, no it wasn't anything like that just… the second night I'd stayed over he…" She faltered then but finally recalled Darnley's whispered words of, "Tell him about that second night he'd want to know; Trev does and doesn't care. He actually wasn't surprised I was that curious." So she shook herself and looking her husband directly in the eyes told him, "We were about to get ready for bed when Patrick asked me something that I had to answer for him."
"Because you could," Castle said slowly.
"Because he wanted to know," Beckett said. She wasn't surprised when her husband looked confused then and she smiled for a moment before starting when she and her friend had gone over to the bed to start preparing to sleep.
"Hey, Kate," Darnley said slowly.
"Yes?" Beckett said, turning to him from getting her pajamas on the dresser to set them on the bed.
"I um, something I wanted to ask," Darnley said.
Smiling Beckett guessed, "You want me to change in the bathroom?"
"No, no," Darnley said immediately. He then flushed and said, "I've always wondered about this and I probably sound so stupid but… c-could I see your bra?"
"He wanted to see your bra?" Castle exclaimed before his wife could continue.
"Yes and if you'll let me explain you'll find out why," Beckett told him firmly. When he nodded she then said, "He asked me that and I nearly had the same reaction that you did. And then I looked at him very closely."
Studying her friend Beckett could easily see his embarrassment and she asked, "Why do you wonder about it?"
"Just in general," Darnley confessed. "I've never seen a woman… seen that before on a woman, I wondered. But not in a sexual way," he added hurriedly.
Beckett smiled slightly and then told him, "Sure."
Jumping a little Darnley said, "Really?"
"Really, I can't imagine you'd have much chance to see this and you'd wonder," Beckett said. "When I was younger I was the same way," she added before she reached for the bottom her shirt and took it off. She wasn't surprised when he just stared at her with wide eyes and she playfully scolded him telling him, "You've seen how this looks."
"Just not up close," Darnley said in protest. He watched her walk up to him and then started to study her. "Okay so obviously they're meant for support," he said, his brow furrowed as he was looking at it closely.
"It's supposed to be but I don't quite need it yet," Beckett replied. She smiled as he reached out to touch the left cup before snatching back his hand. "Go ahead but I'll tell you now it's just lace," she said.
Brushing his fingertips very quickly against the lace Darnley said, "I didn't tell you but… the other day when you held my head against those I could tell they were soft."
"They're not bricks," Beckett replied teasingly. "And remember if a woman has a baby she's going to be nursing."
"I know," Darnley said. "Okay, thanks," he finally said, stepping back slightly from her.
"You want me to take this off don't you?" Beckett said very simply.
"No," Castle said, interrupting his wife's story. "You didn't take it off."
"That was up to him," Beckett said simply. "And let me tell you or else you'll just be guessing." When her husband nodded and quieted down she continued with Darnley's response to her question.
"You don't have to," Darnley said rapidly, his voice cracking at the end.
Trying not to laugh at his stunned expression Beckett said, "I don't mind since you really don't care for them."
"No but I have seen those before," Darnley said, nodding to her then.
"Pictures, art?" Beckett asked as she was reaching behind her. "By the way, don't touch this time."
"Not planning on it," Darnley said, holding his hands up in the air with a serious expression on his face. When she stood before him he studied her chest and said, "Huh, so those are them."
"Yes," Beckett replied, rolling her eyes though she was smiling.
"They're not a bother or something are they?" Darnley asked her looking up at her face pointedly so she would know he had seen enough.
Laughing slightly Beckett said as she pulled on her pajama shirt, "No, since they're small they're… there."
"Are they sensitive?" Darnley said.
"If guys know how to take them, yes," Beckett said in annoyance.
"Oh, I take it not many men know how?" Darnley asked.
"Try none, they're too rough," Beckett said in the same tone of voice she'd used before. She then said with a sigh, "If I ever find a guy who doesn't do that I'll let you know." She then smiled and asked him, "Still gay?"
"You better believe it sister," Darnley said, snapping his fingers around his head. "Ow," he then said with a laugh as his friend was rolling her eyes.
"Don't do that," Beckett told him. "Turn around so I can finish changing."
Darnley nodded before he then said, "Thanks for that Kate. You honestly didn't have to do it for me."
"I know but like I said you weren't looking at this as a sexual thing," Beckett replied. "You were curious."
"Yep but since that curiosity has been answered I don't need to see a woman naked," Darnley replied. When she touched his shoulder he turned around and said, "This doesn't make things weird does it?"
"It doesn't," Beckett assured him. She smiled before telling him, "Want me to use the couch tonight?"
"Nope, we can share the bed," Darnley said. "I'll change real quick."
Beckett nodded and went over to the bed, getting on top of it before she smiled at her friend as he changed next to the bed. "You were so scientific you know," she told him when he was getting onto the bed next to her.
Pausing Darnley then smiled and told her, "I am because this was a biology lesson." He then looked hesitant and when she told him to tell her what he was thinking he said, "You are pretty attractive for a woman I think."
"That's high praise coming from you," Beckett said before she hugged him tightly. "How are you?" she whispered to him.
"I'm good," Darnley said seriously. "Should get some sleep," he then told her with a smile.
"We should," Beckett said, trying not to look at the bruises and cuts on his face. She laid down with him and watched him close his eyes, breathing out softly as he fell asleep and then doing the same herself.
"So that was it," Castle stated.
"You reacted the way you did to his question and then mine and now you just say that's it?" Beckett asked with a smile.
"He's gay," Castle said with a shrug of his shoulders. He then smiled and said, "You didn't feel weird in the slightest."
"Not really," Beckett replied as she stood up then. "He was honestly looking at me as if he were trying to take data or… something like that," she explained. "No desire, no smirk or something. He was just seeing what a woman's breasts looked like in person."
Castle nodded and said, "So what did he say to you about this when he was leaving?"
"He told me to tell you," Beckett said honestly. "When we were in DC earlier this year we talked about that moment and I told him I couldn't tell you."
"I wasn't going to get jealous," Castle told her quickly. "Or were you embarrassed?"
"Unsure of what you'd think," Beckett told him honestly. "I was exposing myself to my gay best friend."
"Again it was more scientific than anything else," Castle replied. "And I don't blame him when I was young I was wondering what the deal was with those bras."
Beckett laughed softly and said, "I think you understand them more now."
"True," Castle said. He looked up at her then and told her sincerely, "Thanks for sharing with me."
"You're welcome," Beckett said.
"Where are you going?" Castle asked in surprise as he watched her go around the bed.
"Stay there," Beckett told him sternly. "I'll be right back."
"Okay," Castle said slowly, watching her. When the door to the closet closed firmly he breathed out heavily before he looked ahead at the fireplace though it was unlit. He wasn't sure how long he waited; since he wasn't looking at his watch; but finally he heard the door open and he nearly jumped up, turning to his wife as she walked out to him. Breathing out again he said, "You look amazing."
"That's only part one," Beckett said as she then reached him.
"You're going to spoil me," Castle said jokingly.
"Trust me, I'm not," Beckett replied to him simply. She then took the ends of the sash of her dark blue kimono robe and placed them into his hands. "For you," she said simply.
"Thank you," Castle said eagerly. He then tugged on just one side of the sash and managed to get it untied. Her robe parted shortly after that and he was trying not to let his mouth drop open as she was wearing a set of bra and panties that he knew was largely ornamental as it was all see through blue mesh. "So," he began.
"Do you want the robe on or off?" Beckett asked him in amusement at his reaction.
"Off," Castle said quickly. He watched her take it off and he grabbed it from her, tossing it onto the armchair near them. "You look so amazing," he told her. "Can I?" he asked her.
"Here," Beckett said, moving him over to the bed where he sat on the end. She watched him then as he looked up at her before his eyes went to her breasts and seeing the pleased expression he got at them she said, "Should I call you pervert?"
"I think you should," Castle said. When his wife looked at him he said, "I was looking at them all day."
"I know, I could see you," Beckett said simply. "But you need to hurry."
"I do?" Castle asked, looking at her breasts again. When she didn't say anything he shook himself and reached up, pulling her towards him so he could kiss around her abdomen. He did that several times before he then slowly moved back saying, "I think we can start."
"Perfect," Beckett said. "Stand up."
Castle was startled but he then stood up, watching her as she reached for the top of his shirt, unbuttoning it quickly. "You're… really eager," he told her while taking off the shirt.
"You're not?" Beckett asked him with a slight smile.
"Now I definitely am," Castle said, stopping her from opening his trousers fully and kissing her. He held her by the shoulders as they were kissing each other deeply; surprised but pleased she was able to respond so rapidly; and their tongues curled together a number of times before finally they parted. He smiled and said, "I'm okay with it."
Startled Beckett said, "With… you figured it out?"
"Not hard to, you're holding onto my belt harder than you would Alex's reins," Castle said before they looked down together at her hands.
"Help me," Beckett said simply before they got his pants off and his boxers soon joined them on the floor. She wrapped her arms around her husband before they kissed once more and soon after they were moving over to the bed as they'd parted.
Getting onto it first at his wife's direction Castle smiled at her and said, "Don't tease me."
"I wouldn't, not tonight," Beckett told him with a smile. She then bowed her head and proceeded to kiss over his erection, going very slowly and deliberately. She could feel Castle moving around in response to her and she smiled again before she was then slipping him into her mouth. His hiss and then hands reaching up to her to slide his fingers through her hair let her know he was appreciative of that and she began to then bob her head up and down, moaning softly in pleasure as he was groaning above her. She kept her rhythm steady and began to build it up as her husband was calling out to her.
"Oh god Kate, you… didn't have but… thank you," Castle groaned as he did his best to watch her moving on him. He tried his best not to pull on her hair while she was working over him but it was difficult as the pleasure was literally roaring through him. And it stayed for a moment around his groin but soon after began to run around his body. He hoped that he would be able to last a bit longer and to help him along with that he started to stroke her hair with his hands carefully.
Beckett glanced up at her husband's face as she lowered her head and kept it there while she was doing her best to run her tongue around him. There wasn't enough room for that so she hoped he would enjoy what she was able to do. She moved away from him fully and smiled at him as he looked down at her with wide eyes before she proceeded to kiss her way up from his stomach to his face. "Enough?" she asked.
"No you can go as far as you want to," Castle told her rapidly. He took her kiss that she gave him before she was slipping out of his hold once more. He was grasping onto the bed underneath him while watching Beckett trail her lips over his chest and to his member again. The trail she left behind was pure fire and it was a heavy shock when she suddenly took him back within her mouth. He held onto the back of her head as she bobbed her head again on him and he only hoped she was getting something from the action.
After a few more passes Beckett then moved away and went to his head so she could whisper to him. His slight jerk away from her made her smile and she said, "I'm going to do it."
"You-" Castle started to say, not sure if he wanted to protest that or not. Before he could finish speaking though Beckett's lips were going around his groin and he had to keep himself from moving too much to hurt her. Each touch of her lips was a shock and he wasn't sure he'd be able to stop himself from climaxing if she didn't.
When she felt her husband trying to grab her to stop her Beckett didn't pay attention to him. She was determined to get him off and very soon after felt him beginning to move uncontrollably. She allowed him that as she took him back in her mouth and very soon after the sound of her name seemed to be ripped from his throat and she felt a deep sense of satisfaction, not stopping moving until he was doing so.
Finally Castle could feel himself recovering and he lay limp on the bed, grunting as his wife was kissing and lightly lapping at his erection until finally she slid against his body to lie against his side. "You're still dressed," he said breathlessly.
"I know," Beckett said with a smile. "It didn't matter if I was or wasn't just now."
"That was amazing," Castle told her seriously, feeling stronger then.
"I did my best," Beckett said before she looked down at him again. "Can I touch you?" she whispered into his ear.
Groaning again Castle told her, "Please do it!"
Beckett laughed softly; eliciting another groan from her husband; and she moved her hand slowly down his chest and past his abdomen to take his length within her hand to pull it off of his stomach. She stroked at him tenderly, lovingly, watching his expression closely the entire time. She wasn't sure if she was surprised or not when he suddenly grabbed her, smiling as he laid her on her back. But that smile was soon gone when his lips crushed hers and she responded to him as fervently, holding onto him tightly as the feel of his arousal against her thigh was making her even more aroused than she already was.
Castle moved back and stared into his wife's eyes before he then leaned over, kissing her hard. That began a series of abrupt, hungry kisses until he finally stopped and said, "I couldn't stop."
"I could tell," Beckett said with a smile. She leaned up a little and then kissed him tenderly. She sat up at his direction and watched him reaching around her to get her bra off. As soon as he'd tossed it onto his nightstand she took his hands and placed them on her breasts. When he began to fondle them carefully she moaned and then arched her back, pressing the mounds into his palms a little more.
Watching his wife closely as he proceeded to caress at her Castle made himself do that for a little longer before finally he was making her lay back down. He was breathless as she was reaching up to the pillow under her head and holding onto it. But he tried to do his best to hurry until she was finally naked and he lowered his head, kissing around her breasts a little wildly for as long as he could until finally he took her left nipple between his lips.
Beckett was moaning deeply as her husband suckled at her and she reached up to stroke the back of his head. She tried to watch him but wasn't able to see much before he drifted over to her other breast. As he proceeded to suck at her there she was moaning softly until finally her husband was slowly pulling away from her. "Rick, please," she begged him.
"I want… something else," Castle told her before he kissed her deeply. He wasn't surprised when she held onto him tightly and he made things more intense until finally they slowed down and pulled away. He stared into her eyes and then leaned down, whispering into her ear.
"Are you sure?" Beckett asked him. His quick nod didn't make her question him again and she let him help her around onto her hands and knees. She reached over to his hand that was next to her as he moved to get behind her and their fingers twined together tightly before he was sliding inside of her. She closed her eyes tightly as she couldn't help be amazed at how rigid he was within her and when he was finally fully coupled with her she whispered, "Are you going to-"
"No," Castle interrupted her. He leaned down and began to kiss at her shoulders until he had to move. The first thrust he groaned out her name as Beckett cried out and her fingers gripped at his tightly. At that and her approval in that motion he began to thrust rapidly, as fast as he could as he knew already what she wanted. The way she was crying out in response to him was making him more and more aroused though he already was. He leaned down as she was crying out to him, unable to help the thrill he got at the sound of her pleasure. He reached up rapidly to push her hair away from her right shoulder and he trailed over before lightly nibbling at her skin.
"God… don't…" Beckett gasped, thrusting back against him a little hard.
"I know, I can't," Castle breathed out heavily in his pleasure. He wasn't surprised when she leaned down then onto her arms and he took the opportunity. He thrust and searched within her at the same time, trying to find her g-spot. He was startled when his wife suddenly stopped and he asked, "Too much?"
"Yes," Beckett breathed. "We just barely started."
"I wasn't even close," Castle informed her.
Beckett could feel her cheeks flush slightly but she didn't respond to that until her husband suddenly placed his hand on her stomach. "I won't last long with that either," she warned him though she was moving at his direction.
"I know," Castle said simply before he then began to thrust again. He wasn't surprised at her near scream of joy and he tried his best to once again find her g-spot. It took him a little more time until finally he could tell that she'd been pushed too far.
"Rick I can't… I'm going to come," Beckett tried to warn him. When he seemed to become even rougher she couldn't stop and when her orgasm struck her she was crying out her husband's name until it all overwhelmed her. She called his name one more time before finally it became too much and she finally passed out, limp on the bed.
Castle had stopped moving within her as soon as she'd begun to climax and he quickly turned her onto her back. Watching her closely then he gently stoked her hair until finally she was opening her eyes. "Hey," he said with a smile as she turned her attention to him.
"Hmm… you're… I'm still throbbing," Beckett couldn't help saying.
"Do you want me to do anything?" Castle asked her, watching her closely, trying not to show that he was insanely longing for her.
Beckett studied him and then smiled widely before she reached for his hand, pulling it down to the junction of her legs where she rested his fingertips on her clit. She shifted a little against him and sighed as his fingers brushed her swollen nub. "Hurry," she urged him.
"I know," Castle said quickly before he kissed her temple. With that he proceeded to gently rub at her, keeping an eye on her so he wouldn't push her too far. He was breathless as she arched her back and moved along with him and he couldn't continue for much longer.
"Hurry lover," Beckett told him as she'd been able to tell with the way her husband had been holding himself rigid against her side that he was having a harder time repressing. She pulled him onto her then and helped him inside of her though he made her stop at just the tip of her. She breathed in deeply in her anticipation and waited for her husband to move. She was startled when he hesitated, a second later he was sinking inside of her, and she was gasping his name in her shock.
Castle would have smiled at her reaction but he was too focused on moving within her and getting her to the point where she was even with him. He groaned as she cried out, their friction almost too intense for him to bear but he did his best to take things further. He was fighting with himself but he was filled with pleasure as he was kissing around her neck. Taking her lips they were soon dueling one another until they were parting and then coming back together once more. At first he'd tried to count how many times they were doing that but it became too much. "Kate…" he nearly begged her as he couldn't slow himself down.
"Rick… please," Beckett gasped as he suddenly angled down to her clit. Their hips were smacking together and after three more quick thrusts she was crying out in her ecstasy, "Oh love, love please I'm coming, I need to feel you come with me! Please!" She was holding onto her husband as tightly to her as she could and she could feel in his body when he was joining her, the muscles in his back tightening before he was calling out her name.
"Kate, my goddess my love… I can't… want to make you come one more time," Castle was groaning heavily. "I adore you Kate!" And from there he just repeated her name, all the pleasure and joy he had within him coming out in his tone. He felt her soon continuing to move with him instead of stopping so he followed her, gasping for air and feeling his muscles screaming in slight protest as he tried to double his efforts.
Digging her nails into her husband's back Beckett did her best to move with him though it was hard to keep up with him. She whispered encouragement into his ear, telling him, "Keep fucking me my love I don't want you to stop. You need to take me and make me scream again. Keep fucking me harder."
The determined tone of Beckett's voice was all that Castle could take and he was moving down to her clit the best he could again until finally she was crying out. He was soon following and nearly bellowing her name repeatedly, thrusting as deep as he possibly could until he was sure he was hurting her; though her cries to him were convincing him otherwise. He had no idea how much longer they were both moving but finally he was on his own doing that and he was nearly panting. When he gave a last, final thrust he was nearly yelling her name and then almost collapsing on top of her. Breathing out heavily he didn't say anything for a while, feeling his wife stroking his hair until he could move. "Kate," he said with a smile as he raised his head.
"So you haven't forgotten my name," Beckett told him teasingly as she rubbed at the slight welts from her nails on his back.
Grunting slightly at her touch Castle said, "Not really sure what else to call out…" He trailed off and then looked at her saying, "Cursing?"
"You were doing that while you were fucking me," Beckett told him with a smile on her face as he pulled away enough to look at her. She let him go as he moved to lie on his side next to her and she was quick to lay on her own facing him. "Okay?" she asked.
"I was going to ask you," Castle told her.
"I am, why?" Beckett asked him in slight surprise.
"Just the story you told me," Castle replied, reaching over and gently stroking her hair before he went to run his hand over her shoulder. He squeezed her arm and said, "The memory," very simply.
"I'm fine, seeing Patrick last month helped me," Beckett replied.
"I wish he could come with us through Ireland," Castle told her.
"I know and if their kids were a little older they would," Beckett said, smiling at him widely. She then got up before he followed her and she said with a smile, "We're nearly there."
"I know, two months," Castle replied. "Or just about anyways." He realized she was studying him and he said, "Okay?"
"Yeah I'm thinking about tomorrow and how early we need to get up," Beckett answered after taking a moment to do so.
"Well your dad is here," Castle said, thinking that over.
"That doesn't mean anything, they'd likely still come to our room," Beckett pointed out to him.
"True," Castle said slowly. "Then we should go to bed not too late." When she gave him a look at his wording he explained, "It's still relatively early."
Glancing at the clock on her nightstand Beckett saw that he was right and she bit her lip, debating to speak when he stopped her from doing so. His arm wrapped around her waist and she leaned against him, feeling his lips along her shoulder. "We can't go too out of control," she let him know.
"Oh of course," Castle replied as he raised his head, knowing she meant time wise. "And we won't we'll need rest; that first bout took a lot out of me already."
"Me too," Beckett said with a smile. She leaned over to him and kissed him deeply before she moved back and stared at him lovingly before stroking his face with both her hands. "I love you," she told him.
"I love you too," Castle replied before he leaned down to her neck and kissed her racing pulse. "You know I wonder if we should stop for now," he said.
Beckett studied her husband and then said, "What's on your mind?" She was slightly startled when he leaned over and then began to whisper in her ear. She froze when he told her what he wanted to do and she then turned to him, throwing her arms around his neck. They fell down to the bed together, lips locked tightly and for as long as possible until she moved away first so she could breathe. Stroking the back of his head she murmured, "I don't know if I'm going to want to stop tonight."
"Why don't we go take a shower?" Castle said suddenly. "An intermission."
"Weren't we just doing that?" Beckett asked with a smile.
"Not really," Castle said, picking her up in his arms then and taking her to the bathroom. He set her down outside the shower and quickly turned on the water before he pulled her inside after him. He was kissing her deeply against the wall as the water ran over their bodies and he could feel his desire rising until finally he had to stop before he took her there.
Beckett smiled at him as they stood directly beneath the water and she began to stroke his body before she spoke. "I find myself more than ready to go," she told him.
"Me too, can we have some challenges again?" Castle asked.
Pretending to consider that Beckett then smirked and told her husband, "Yes, as soon as we're ready after we're in Dublin I say a week of three orgasms."
Shuddering Castle was going to thank his wife for that before all of a sudden she was kissing him. He tried to speak when they'd parted but she beat him to the punch though he didn't mind when he heard what she said.
"We can start our practice now," Beckett said.
"We've already-" Castle began to say.
"We're starting over," Beckett told him.
"Good," Castle said. He turned off the water and together they hurried out, drying each other off until finally they were moving to their bed. They laid there together for some time kissing and once they'd parted he raised her left hand and kissed around her rings murmuring to her, "I can't wait to be married to you again."
A tremble going through her at his husky tone Beckett brushed her lips to his saying, "Neither can I, these next two months are going by too slow."
"Who knows," Castle said as he moved to lie atop her and her direction. "We might have something to keep us occupied."
Though she knew her husband was referencing their trip Beckett said softly, "Maybe we will," before they kissed passionately and after began to make love again.
They spent all the time they could heavily involved in each other, both Castle and Beckett taking the chance to feel what they could do to one another physically. And with the excitement of their upcoming wedding things seemed to become even more meaningful as they continued to cement their desire to continue to be together through the rest of the night.
