Play Time
The work day had finally ended and that made Castle quiet happy. Johanna Martha and the twins had joined their sister, brother and brother in law once they were done with school. Jake and Alexis had babysitting duty now.
Beckett had decided before they left the 54th that she was just going let Castle run wild when they got home.
When they got in Castle took Beckett things for her.
"Are playing another round of strip poker again?" Beckett playfully teased.
"Hey. So um… where's your mom?"
"'Cause. I'm ready for a rematch."
"Why did you do that?"
"New game. Poker."
"You want to play poker against me?"
"Strip poker."
"I'll deal."
"Your bet."
"I think I'm going to go all in."
"Me too. But all I have left to bet with is this shirt."
"I'll take that bet. What've you got?"
"Who cares?"
"This is so much better than Scrabble."
"Yeah."
"It's up to you." Castle said as they both remembered the one time Beckett wanted to play strip poker over Scrabble before they tied the knot.
"I'm all in."
Beckett took control of the situation back as she leaned in for the kiss. She unbuttoned and unzipped what she had to as Castle was doing the same with the clothes that she had on. Of course Castle had to contend with Beckett's bra; so he had an extra step.
The trail of clothes led straight to bedroom from what Martha saw the following morning. She had come over to have a cup of coffee with her son and daughter in law.
"Looks like they had a bit of fun last night." Martha said to herself when she said the playing cards on the coffee table.
A while later Castle and Beckett came out of the bedroom. Castle was in his robe while Beckett had a button down shirt on.
When Castle saw his mother things changed.
"Oh don't be such an old maid; Richard. It's not like I haven't seen and done what you two were doing last night."
"Mother please." Castle said uncomfortably.
Beckett just smiled. It had always been fun to see Castle squirm when he was uncomfortable. With that the trio sat down for coffee.
