Breathing heavily after her husband had finished climaxing, Beckett ran her hand over the back of her husband's head and said, "Rick?"

Grunting against his wife's neck, Castle moved his hand, and it was suddenly slipping off the bed, making his wife gasp as he ran into her. Raising his head he said, "How did we end up like this?" since they were at an angle on the mattress.

"Don't ask me," Beckett replied with a smile watching him looking around in obvious confusion. "You were the one controlling that," she added teasingly since they'd had a little disagreement in the position.

"Yeah, about that…" Castle said slowly.

"If I didn't want- ugh," Beckett said in slight surprise when her husband was withdrawing from her.

"What'd I do?" Castle asked in concern, watching her while she pushed herself up.

"I think I need a bath," Beckett said.

"We talked about doing that," Castle said with a frown. "You're sore," he then stated.

"Unfortunately," Beckett said, her annoyance apparent.

"You wanted to do more? It's getting later," Castle replied.

"I know," Beckett said.

"What're you thinking?" Castle asked her suspiciously.

"Never mind," Beckett said. "Are we going to start?"

"Do you want to wait here?" Castle asked her while he moved to the other side of the bed. When she shook her head, he was immediately reaching for her, a bit startled when she was allowing him to pick her up. "Now I'm really suspicious," he told her, carrying her into the bathroom.

"I let you take me without complaint, and you are?" Beckett teased him before he set her down.

"It's out of the ordinary," Castle replied easily before his wife was brushing her lips to his and murmuring against them a moment later.

"Start the water love, I'm getting cold," Beckett told him.

Though he wanted to say it wasn't that bad, Castle knew it was for her and he hurried to the tub. Pausing he said, "Wait, rinsing off…"

"I know, we're going to have to let the water sit today," Beckett replied.

"If you're going to pleasure me-" Castle started to say.

"I'm not, it'll be easier," Beckett interrupted and told him firmly.

"Okay," Castle replied before he turned back to the tub and turned the water on. After making sure it was a little hotter than usual, he plugged the bottom and filled it before he went to his wife. Just as he reached her, she was slipping into the shower stall, and he made a brief face at her before he took off his glasses and followed her.

"I like how you just threw them," Beckett said teasingly when her husband joined her and immediately wrapped his arms around her waist.

"I had to hurry, the water isn't going to stay that hot for long," Castle replied. "You did mention that it was cold." He wasn't surprised when her response was to smile at him and he leaned down to her, kissing her lovingly. He did that a few more times before he turned off the water and said, "Am I carrying you now?"

"No," Beckett replied in amusement. "And I'm going in first."

"Because you're cold," Castle said. He wasn't surprised when she nodded and he left the stall with her, making their way carefully to the tub. Once they were there, he watched her stepping in, holding himself back from touching her though he was eyeing her back and ass appreciatively.

"Come on," Beckett told him when she sat up on her knees. As he was stepping in, she reached up to him and stopped him before she was raising herself up.

"Vixen, I knew it," Castle hissed when she was curling her fingers around his length with one hand while the other was reaching around him to grasp his ass.

"Does that mean you want me to stop?" Beckett asked, peering up at him.

Cursing under his breath, Castle shook his head and told her, "No," before he looked on while she was taking the tip of him inside her mouth. While she proceeded to bob her head back and forth on him, he was groaning deeply, telling her, "We were just together and you're still…"

"I know," Beckett replied easily, gently rubbing her hand up and down on him while she spoke. "And I'll be the same," she told him. She wasn't surprised when her husband nodded a little rapidly and she moved to take him back into her mouth. Pleasuring him she started out slowly before she was speeding up until he was reaching his peak, feeling him struggling to keep from thrusting into her mouth. When he had calmed down she slid back to press a kiss to the tip of him before she stood up. When her husband was grabbing her and kissing her deeply, she was smiling inwardly, focusing more on responding to Castle before they were parting to breathe. "We should get in the water," she told him after he leaned his head down to her and kissed at her shoulders.

Letting out a hard breath in frustration, Castle reluctantly let go of his wife before he was moving to sit and lean against the back of the tub. "Okay?" he asked her, watching her settling in front of him.

"Mmm-hmm," Beckett said simply before her husband was kissing at her shoulders again. She smiled and said, "You can't wait?"

"Why would I do that?" Castle replied swiftly before he went back to kissing her. With his wife distracted he moved his hands around her, soon cupping his hands over her breasts firmly before she moaned and arched her back, speaking to him a little roughly a moment later.

"You're… you're not going to take that long, are you?" Beckett asked him, breathing harder at his ministrations.

"No, but I'm not going to stop either," Castle said. He couldn't help smiling when his wife merely nodded in response before he was moving his hands from her breasts. When he reached her sex, he wasn't surprised to find her legs spread and he gently began to rub at her clit. As she had done for him, he started out slowly, speeding up and relishing in her moving against him. He could see she was gripping the sides of the tub tightly and it helped her respond to his strokes before she was writhing against him. Doing his best not to lose his focus on his wife since she was stimulating him unintentionally, he was able to continue to stroke his fingers through her sex until she gave a slight shudder and fell back against him. As soon as she had he proceeded to kiss the tops of her shoulders again.

"I hope you aren't going to try that again," Beckett told her husband. She paused when her husband froze behind her and she quickly said, "No, I'm okay love."

"You're sore," Castle said simply.

Shaking her head Beckett replied, "That didn't hurt," as she was turning to look at him.

"But two-" Castle started to say before his wife was covering his mouth with her hand.

"You've used three a few times," Beckett told him in amusement. When her husband was kissing at her palm she said, "And I enjoyed that."

"So did I," Castle said immediately. He shared a kiss with her before he told her, "But now we better relax."

"Of course," Beckett said, leaning back against him before his arms wrapped securely around her. Pressing back against him she told her husband, "This is nice."

"Kate?" Castle said in response.

"Yes?" Beckett couldn't help asking laughingly.

"I love you," Castle told her. "And at the risk of sounding extremely sappy I've loved these past eight years." When she turned back to look at him, he kissed her temple and then said, "Also sappy but that third time's a charm is true."

Beckett laughed outright and she told her husband, "I love you too Rick. And I'm glad you think that."

"What about you?" Castle asked. "Not the third time's a charm," he said in a rush when she opened her mouth to speak.

Smirking, since she had thought about teasing him concerning that, Beckett then said, "While I don't have other marriages to compare to, really this one does work," not surprised at the frown that soon appeared on her husband's face or his response that began shortly after.

"That sounds very… dry," Castle said.

"It's your job to be sappy," Beckett teased him. She couldn't help laughing when her husband playfully attacked her neck before she said, "But I do love it," when he'd stopped and was holding her tightly to him.

"I do too," Castle said, nuzzling the side of her head with his nose. "Now we're set on the marriage should we change the subject."

"You don't want to talk about us?" Beckett asked him teasingly.

"Oh, I do, but I want to talk about the fact that we've been together for ten years now and we just spent hours in bed together," Castle said.

"So we should move around the room more?" Beckett replied.

Laughing momentarily, Castle told her, "Yes," pretending to be serious. "No, I want to continue that tonight. But we have tomorrow."

"We're not going to be busy the entire time," Beckett said firmly. She bit her lower lip for a moment when he was squeezing her a little tighter and she said, "I still want you, Rick."

"Believe me, I'll continue to want you Kate," Castle said seriously. He kissed the side of her head before he told her, "Especially once we're back home."

"It's been a while since we were there," Beckett commented, not surprised when he was nodding in agreement.

"But for now…" Castle said, trailing off intentionally.

"I know," Beckett said with a smile. She stood up first and watched her husband doing the same, letting him step out. When he looked at her, she said, "I have to ask you a favor."

"Oh?" Castle replied.

"My dress," Beckett said. "I didn't have the chance to bring it in."

"Right, I'll get it as soon as we're dry," Castle said, walking back to her and drying her off with the top towel he'd grabbed. "I'll be right back," he said.

"You forgot about you," Beckett said, unable to help doing so laughingly.

"Oh," Castle said when he suddenly realized she was right before he went back to where she was standing with the other towel she held. While she was drying him off, he said, "Please be careful love."

"I'm aware," Beckett said though she made sure every inch of him was dry. As soon as she finished, she went to the doorway to watch him walk out to the armoire before he paused and turned to her.

"Do you want your shoes too?" Castle asked her. When he saw her hesitating he said, "You don't need them really."

"No, I do, but I was going to suggest you help me with them," Beckett replied.

Nodding, since he didn't think he'd be able to really respond, Castle opened the doors and pulled her blue lace dress in its garment bag out. "I'm not even going to ask if you need anything else," he told her once he'd reached her in the doorway.

Smiling Beckett said, "Should I? It becomes stale, doesn't it?"

"It doesn't," Castle said firmly, leaning into her. "Any changes to your dinner order?" When she shook her head, he was about to lean into her and kiss her again when she was disappearing into the bathroom. He watched her, since she hadn't closed the door, set her garment bag between the sinks before she returned with his brush and glasses. "I can't join you," he said.

Merely smiling, since her husband had framed that as a statement instead of a question, Beckett wrapped her arm around his neck to pull him to her. They kissed, being gentle, though they lingered and when they parted, she said, "I'll be right out."

"Goddess," Castle breathed to her before she closed the door after he'd stepped back. He turned to the bed and shook himself a little before hurrying to dress so he could have the room ready once his wife was finished.

Once she'd cleaned up and dried her hair in the bathroom, Beckett put it up into a bun, tucking her mother's comb into it after. She then covered her skin with lotion before she put on makeup, doing so easily since she didn't have that much on. Stepping into her dress after that she zipped it up and paused, hearing voices outside in the room for a moment, smiling before she opened the door to find the room was empty.

"Hey," Castle said when he walked into the bedroom and saw his wife stepping out. He made his way over to her and was about to wrap his arms around her when she stopped him.

"My shoes," Beckett told him firmly. When he spun away from her, she couldn't help smiling and said, "You forgot."

"I had to escort the worker out before you were finished," Castle replied, grabbing her heels from the bottom of the armoire. Going to where she was sitting on the bench in front of their bed he said, "We haven't used much of the room today."

"You've mentioned," Beckett said, watching him take her foot to raise it. "But we have been enjoying the bed." When her husband didn't respond to that she studied him and said, "You want to use something?"

"I don't know, I was just making a comment," Castle said. He smiled up at his wife when she laughed at his response before he got her other shoe on. Standing up he pulled her with him and said, "You look stunning Kate," his tone serious.

"Nothing you haven't seen before," Beckett teased him, her arms around his neck as he held her by her waist.

"No, but I still love you," Castle said. "Everything about you."

"Holc," Beckett said, teasingly him with the word sap in Irish. "But don't worry," she said while he was smiling at her. "I feel the same about you."

Castle's response was to lean down to her, capturing her lips with his own and kissing her passionately. He was holding her tightly before his hands moved from her waist, sliding to the small of her back before he was rubbing her.

"Wait," Beckett gasped suddenly. "We… dinner's going to get cold," she told him with a smile as he looked annoyed. When he swore in Irish, she brushed her lips to his and told him, "I hate to pause right now but I am starving."

"Me too, luckily my stomach's been behaving," Castle said before he was abruptly hissing her name when she pressed her hand to his groin. "Why?" he said, gasping out the words at the same time she lightly squeezed him.

"Because I want to," Beckett said firmly.

Breathing out hard, Castle was going to reach for her hand and move it away when she was doing so herself. He watched her head to the table and he hurried after her though he had to slow down. "This is your fault," he said when Beckett turned to see him doing so. He half expected her to be annoyed at his statement, but he found his breath pausing when she was smiling and responding.

"It is, but I'll take care of it later once we have a little sustenance," Beckett said.

"That was my line," Castle replied before he leaned into his wife. He shared a brief kiss with her before he helped her to her seat. Once he was sure she was set he took the cloches off the plates of their food and said, "No dessert though."

Beckett smiled while her husband was sitting down and told him, "As long as the ones from tea are still good."

"They should be," Castle said. "And since there are only three…"

"Pervert," Beckett said after she had laughed briefly and picked up her fork.

They began to eat after they'd calmed down and talked about their plans the next day. Since they weren't sure yet about the weather, they could only say what they wanted to do before Castle was laughing briefly and telling his wife, "I wonder if we should have lunch at the pub in town."

"We will," Beckett said. When her husband looked at her in surprise she said, "I think we really should go." Seeing him shifting slightly in his chair she squeezed his hand and told him, "But after the pool we're coming back here."

"I'm that transparent?" Castle asked.

"You have a tell," Beckett said in amusement.

Pursing his lips momentarily, Castle then told her, "I guess I can't help myself."

"You guess?" Beckett asked laughingly. She smiled when he took her hand, kissing the back before she said, "And I would like to walk over there."

"I'll bring the umbrella," Castle said. He leaned into her and kissed her deeply though he didn't linger so they could return to their food. "Hold on," he told her, placing his hand on her arm. "Mind if I try your halibut?" he asked her.

"No, if you'll let me try your pork belly," Beckett said.

"I know," Castle said in amusement. "But I wasn't feeling like having just fish." He watched his wife cutting into her fish and putting it onto his plate before he was quick to give her some of his. When he looked back at his plate and saw she had placed some of her potatoes there he said, "You didn't have to."

"No, but you realize what I want," Beckett told him, taking some of his sweet potatoes. She was about to eat what she'd taken when he was grabbing her fork and feeding her. "I almost thought you were going to take it," she said after she'd swallowed.

"I had that thought but I'm aiming to sleep on that bed with you tonight," Castle replied. When his wife was smirking at him, he said, "And also make love with you."

Beckett shook her head and said, "I was hoping the same," not surprised when his reaction was to move his chair a little closer to her. They talked idly after that, and she couldn't really remember if it had anything to do with other subjects besides going into town. Once they'd finished, including their dessert, she let her husband take the plates out to the hall while she stood at the windows on the other side of the table. "It's still raining," she told her him when he stepped up behind her.

"I figured," Castle said, wrapping his arms around her. "Luckily it won't affect us now."

"No," Beckett replied, turning around to him and kissing him as soon as he lowered his head to hers. After they were parting eventually, she said with a smile, "I can tell you have something in mind Rick."

"Again, transparent," Castle replied before they were kissing again.

"No," Beckett replied firmly, cupping his face with her hands and leading him down to her. They kissed gently and she pulled him with her behind the couch before she watched him getting his phone ready. Once the song Always was playing, she was wrapping her arms around his neck at the same time he held her by her waist. They swayed together during it, and she closed her eyes feeling her husband kissing the side of her head before he moved to her ear.

When the song ended, Castle pulled away from his wife and said, "Kate…"

"Can you make us some coffee?" Beckett replied. "I do have a gift for you."

"I have one for you," Castle said with a nod. "But what exactly are you going to do now."

"Well, once you let me go, I can sit on the couch," Beckett said easily.

"You wouldn't want to join me," Castle said, since the brewer was in the entry.

"If you want me to," Beckett replied.

"Yes," Castle said firmly, letting her go at the same time before they were walking to the room.

Beckett watched her husband turn the chair at the desk before she asked him, "You wouldn't want to do something in here?"

"No," Castle said firmly. When he saw the way his wife was looking at him once she'd sat, he explained, "Too many people in this room."

Beckett laughed and said, "I'm not surprised. And because you mentioned that, hurry up."

"Right," Castle replied, turning his attention to the brewer where he began to start the first mug.

"Rick?" Beckett said in amusement when he didn't say anything after a while.

"What?" Castle immediately said. "Oh… did you want to talk?" he asked her when he realized why she was looking at him the way she was.

"I did want to ask if you have our reservations set?" Beckett said.

"Yes, a while ago," Castle said. "But I really hope it's not raining tomorrow."

"I don't mind having to walk in the rain if we need to," Beckett said firmly since they'd both expressed the desire to walk around the grounds a little after they'd eaten.

"That would be nice," Castle said before they were turning to the window when the lights flickered a little. "I'm almost finished," he told her swiftly.

"I can tell," Beckett replied with a smile before she turned her attention back to the window when she saw a flicker of light.

"Okay," Castle said. "I've got your coffee love," handing her mug to her before they were getting up to head to the bedroom.

"We've talked about everything we can you know," Beckett told her husband after they were sitting on the couch.

"Oh… so we can just start making love now?" Castle asked teasingly. He wasn't surprised when she just gave him a look and he said, "What would you want to talk about?"

"Next year," Beckett answered immediately.

"Japan?" Castle asked. When she nodded, he said, "What about it?"

"When we go to the place on Miyajima Island," Beckett said. "Remember we have a tub. Really anywhere there with a similar tub."

"Do you want to take another bath tonight?" Castle asked swiftly. He smiled when his wife laughed, and he squeezed her hand before he couldn't help himself and reached down to her knee.

Calming herself swiftly Beckett said, "You're okay doing that?"

"Shouldn't that be you answering?" Castle asked her.

"I'm serious," Beckett replied. She smiled when he was about to speak before she said, "I'm not planning on sitting here for long."

"You're going to kill me Kate," Castle said roughly before he was sipping his coffee.

"I won't," Beckett said simply before she was sipping herself. They drank for a little in silence and she soon realized her husband's hand was sliding up a little. She didn't say anything to him, allowing him to keep it there until she was finishing, and she could feel her husband was stroking her skin. "Rick," she breathed heavily.

"We finished our coffee," Castle said, taking her mug.

"We did," Beckett replied, watching him getting up. She couldn't help smiling while he walked over to the entry telling him, "I'm surprised you're not running."

"I want to," Castle replied, smiling himself when he could hear the way his wife was laughing. After he'd set the mugs aside, he returned to the room and saw his wife was still sitting on the couch. "Here," he told her once he was sitting again next to her. She had already begun to move and was in his lap shortly after leading him to say, "How long have you been wanting to do that?"

"A while," Beckett said with a smile. "But for now…" she started to say before she leaned into him and kissed him. She felt his hands grasping her back tightly and with her arms already around his neck she held him the same way. She had initiated a rougher kiss and wasn't surprised when he took that and was responding eagerly to her. They had to part to catch their breath and she reached up to him, caressing his cheek before she told him, "That was just a start."

"Then you have something in mind," Castle said.

"No, you," Beckett replied.

"Good comeback," Castle said, exaggerating his voice and smiling when she laughed. "Yes, I did have something in mind. A sampla," he then told her, a little startled when she merely smiled at him.

"I had a feeling it was that," Beckett replied. "But don't worry, I approve of it fully."

"I thought you might," Castle said. "Though that wasn't the reason why I suggested it," he added, a little startled she was laughing and kissing his cheek before she replied.

"Something different?" Beckett asked him.

"No," Castle replied. "I was thinking of using one of our books but… it takes too long."

"You know we have them on our tablets," Beckett said.

"Still too long," Castle said. Before she could respond he leaned into her and kissed her again, doing so gently before he moved to her jaw, kissing around it until he was back at her lips. "But we both said we had gifts," he murmured against them.

"I know, let me go get mine," Beckett said, getting off of his lap. When she heard him groaning behind her, she smiled and said, "You're going to say no to gifts?"

"You got me more than one?" Castle asked in surprise.

"No, you don't want to exchange gifts with me?" Beckett responded in the same tone though she was teasing him.

"Alright, I want to, but you were just sitting on my lap really pleasantly," Castle said.

"Pleasantly?" Beckett responded with a smirk.

"Yes," Castle said confidently before he stood and followed her to the closet in the entry where their suitcases were. He let her go first before he was following and back on the couch, he handed her the gift he was holding saying, "Open this first love."

Taking the present Beckett said, "I'm surprised you wrapped it."

"You did the same too," Castle said, taking her gift and placing it on his lap. "But open it."

"If you're worried," Beckett said with a smile. "I'm aware of what the gifts are supposed to be."

"Then I'll assure you now I didn't get you salt," Castle replied.

"Oh, I know," Beckett said, squeezing his hand before she turned her attention to her gift. Unwrapping it quickly she took the cover off the box and smiled at the bronze plate inside. "I'm not surprised," she told him.

"The fact it's bronze?" Castle asked her.

"No, the etching," Beckett said, since it had their four daughters' names at the top. "I'm assuming the space underneath is for our grandchildren?" she then asked.

"Yes, but turn it over," Castle answered as he was nodding his head at the same time.

Turning the thin plate, Beckett smiled when she saw their names were etched there along with the date of their wedding. "It's beautiful," she said, running her fingers over the handwriting of his name. "Open yours," she then said.

Though he'd wanted to ask her where she wanted to put the plaque, Castle was nodding, and he then began unwrapping his present. Smiling at his own bronze plate he saw it was a calendar for the month of August in 2014 with a Celtic knot circling the 17, their initials under the calendar. "Perfect," he told her. "Though I was going to ask where you wanted to put yours," not surprised when she was responding immediately.

"I think we should frame them," Beckett said. "And put them on either side of the origami cranes you gave me for our first anniversary."

"Good idea," Castle replied. When he saw the way his wife was looking at him, he said quickly, "And yes I had the same thought." He squeezed her hand before they were putting their plaques away and he took the boxes saying, "I'll be back."

Nodding, though she could have pointed out to him she was aware he would return, Beckett watched him go before she got up and went to the windows behind the table again. Watching the rain, she said when she could hear her husband behind her, "I know you think I'm bored."

"Well, I'm not sure what exactly you were going to do while I was gone," Castle said.

"For the minute it took you to go and come back?" Beckett asked, turning to him and smiling.

"Yes," Castle said after pretending to think that over. He wasn't surprised when his wife rolled her eyes and he leaned into her, kissing her briefly before he rested his forehead to hers. "Do you think we could go back to the couch?" he asked.

"I was going to suggest it," Beckett replied. "And don't ask me why I left if I was just going to go back."

"I don't blame you," Castle said honestly. "We've been inside this room all day."

"Now you're complaining?" Beckett asked in amusement.

"No," Castle replied before he was kissing her. He felt her responding immediately and he was holding her tighter to him before he forced himself to stop and he said, "I'm going to end up dragging you to the bed." When she brushed her lips to his he was a little startled until she began to pull him to the couch at the same time she spoke to him teasingly.

"While that's your plan I would like to wait… for a few minutes at least," Beckett commented.

"Great," Castle said. They'd reached the couch by then and she turned to him before he looked down at her feet. Since she'd removed her heels, he held her hand a little tighter before he toed off his own shoes. When he was finished he sat, keeping hold of her before he pulled her firmly onto his lap again.

"Are you okay?" Beckett asked in surprise when her husband grunted loudly as she had landed firmly on him.

"Yeah," Castle said, shaking his head quickly. "I should have helped you down."

"You did," Beckett pointed out teasingly.

"We should try again," Castle said after pausing for a moment. He grabbed her hips, pretending to make her get up when she stopped him while she was laughing.

"I'm fine Rick," Beckett said when she calmed down. "Though are you in any pain?"

"Slightly," Castle said, bringing her to him before they were kissing each other hard. He wasn't surprised to feel her responding to him, or when she pressed her ass down against his erection a bit. "Wait," he told her a little roughly.

"Too much?" Beckett asked in surprise.

Shaking his head Castle said, "Your hair." He sucked in a breath of air when she smiled at him before she was taking out her comb. After he'd carefully tossed it to the armchair where their robes were laying, he looked back to his wife while she unpinned her hair and it fell past her shoulders.

"Better now?" Beckett asked with a smile seeing the way her husband was staring at her.

"You're stunning either way my love," Castle said seriously.

"Hmm, kiss ass," Beckett teased him.

"I hope I can," Castle said, not surprised when she was laughing again. As soon as she had calmed down, he was leaning into her and kissing her deeply once more. He managed to keep doing so before he had to stop when she rocked a little on him and he ended the kiss saying "The bed-"

"Not yet," Beckett replied before he was suddenly moving her onto her back. She was going to tease him about doing that; though it was what she had been hoping he'd do; but he was crushing her lips with his own. She parted her lips to his tongue yet again and was very shortly after rolling hers around his until he moved away. She arched her head back, expecting him to go to her neck before her husband was getting her attention.

"Love, I want your pussy," Castle began. "Right now."

"You can," Beckett said, startled when he shook his head. "I did clean myself," she then said, thinking that was the problem. She raised her skirt before she told him, "See?"

"I see," Castle replied, his voice strained in his desire at the sight of her sex bared and slick already for him. "Kate…" he started to say.

"How much are you wearing?" Beckett said in response though she'd intended to allow him to pleasure her.

"Not much," Castle said, helping her off the couch with him. Though he could have carried her the short distance to the bed Beckett was taking his hand again and he let her lead him before they were throwing their arms around each other tightly. Kissing her he ran his hands around her back until he moved to the zipper, pulling it down and rubbing his hands over her skin while she trembled against him. Since that ended the kiss, he was about to pull off her dress when she was reaching for him as she spoke.

"You're still dressed love," Beckett informed him. She smiled when her husband breathed out a little hard and she said, "Can I?"

"I'll help you; we'll go a lot faster," Castle replied.

"Pervert," Beckett teased him, smiling when he kissed her neck. She laughed briefly when he nipped at it through her hair before she was moving to slide off his tie she'd loosened. Once that was out of the way he was assisting her, and he was soon naked while she allowed him to slide her dress off her shoulders. She would have let it fall to the floor with his clothes, but he was soon taking the dress and laying it across the armchair where her comb was. She remained standing where she was to wait for him to come back, though she crossed her arms over her breasts since there was still a slight chill from the storm outside.

Returning to his wife, Castle carefully made her get up on the bed while he gazed into her eyes before laying her back. He initiated a kiss before he felt her wrapping her legs around him and he pulled away from her asking, "Do you still want-"

"Yes," Beckett interrupted him when she tugged him down to her. They were kissing again, and he touched her thigh, making her break off the kiss. "What?" she asked, hearing a slight tinge of annoyance in her tone.

"Are we alternatively choosing?" Castle asked.

"Yes, and it's what I want," Beckett told him firmly. She wasn't surprised when her husband nodded rapidly in agreement before he pulled back a little. "Hurry," she urged him before he was sliding within her. She tightened her legs around him as he went slowly, and she was moaning in pleasure before his hips were pressed against hers. "You can't… take that long," she was able to tell him.

"I won't," Castle promised, moving to kiss her. While he was doing that he began to thrust, going slowly at first before he sped up a little. He was careful not to do that for very long before he was withdrawing and he ended the kiss so he could tell her, "Don't kill me."

"I won't, I knew you were going to," Beckett replied firmly. She kissed him before she pulled away and said, "Your choice." She was smiling while he picked her up before she sat up on her knees and she was about to ask him why he wasn't sitting when he went around her. Looking back at him she was crying out in a mix of pleasure and surprise after he'd slapped her ass firmly. "How-" she started to say.

"Here," Castle said, carefully pushing her to the post at the end of the bed on her side. Once she was there, he watched her holding onto it before he was pressing up against her and he told her, "Just hold on, please."

"I am," Beckett assured him, aware that was his turn on for that position. Since her legs were already parted, Castle was soon after sliding inside of her and she bit at her lower lip a little hard before his hips were flush against her. "I can't move with you?" she asked him.

"Please," Castle managed to say before he proceeded to thrust again. He was doing so as hard as he could, groaning his wife's name once while she was crying out. He moved rapidly and was reaching up to her, pushing her hair over her shoulder so he could kiss around her back and shoulders. Doing so for some time he wasn't surprised when she was calling to him to stop. He immediately did so but was reaching down to cup his hand over her sex since he'd slipped out of her shortly after. "You still want me love?" he murmured into her ear.

Laughing breathily for a second, Beckett grew serious, and she told him, "Of course I do but… it's going to be too soon."

"Definitely," Castle said, letting her go. As soon as he was away from her, he was a little taken aback when she laid on the middle of the bed, her legs spread wide. It was an indication to him as to what she wanted, so he immediately moved to enter her again, slapping away her hands when she moved to help him. "I want you to feel my cock love," he told her roughly.

"I can! Oh god Rick… you're so deep in my pussy!" Beckett moaned in joy. "Please fuck me!" she told him before he was kissing her deeply. She responded to him eagerly before he was pulling away and speaking to her huskily as he kissed around her breasts.

"If I do that we're not going to last," Castle told her.

"I don't care," Beckett said before she was caressing his back with her nails. "We can do it again faster."

Cursing briefly, Castle kissed a few times at both her breasts before he was moving up to her lips. He was taking her legs at the same time though that meant their kiss wasn't lasting for very long since he was holding her legs up. He began to thrust before she could urge him to and was going rapidly. Feeling how slick and tight she was around him he was doing his best not to end up getting out of control with his pace. He just managed to do so, along with stopping before he could make them both reach their peak. "Kate, choose now," he told her, breathing heavily.

"I'm not," Beckett replied, panting as well.

Groaning, Castle moved to withdraw from her again and he said, "I can't think of anything."

"You can," Beckett said, feeling a little stronger though the throbbing of her sex was beginning to annoy her. "Just hurry," she felt compelled to say before her husband was suddenly leaning down and taking her right nipple into his mouth. She gasped and was grabbing at him, holding on before he suddenly moved and pressed on her thighs. She wasn't sure exactly what he wanted, but she spread them further, finding her left ankle was able to hook on the side of the mattress. Since her husband was shortly after inside her again, she used that to help her move and their hips were driving against each other.

"Fuck! Kate don't make me stop," Castle told her. "Your pussy is so… so…" he tried to say though he had to trail off since the pleasure was rising instantly.

"I know," Beckett was able to say before she found herself beginning to writhe. "Rick I'm… going to come!" she managed to warn him a moment before she was climaxing. She had been able to hold onto his arms and she couldn't keep from digging her nails into his skin before he was joining her. They had each called each other's names once, but soon realized they were only moaning and grunting until they were spent fully, and she was holding onto her husband while he moved to lay on his arms above her. She smiled and said, "We should look at one of the books next time."

"You want another sampla?" Castle asked her in surprise, a little startled he was able to speak.

"If you think you'll be up to it," Beckett replied, watching him turning his head to her.

"I think I will," Castle said, moving so he could lay on his back. "But in a second," he said while he was wrapping his arm around her securely once she was pressed against him.

"I agree," Beckett replied. "Though you are ready."

"As you can see," Castle said. He grunted when his wife draped her thigh over him. "And feel?" he asked her.

"You do want to make love again, right?" Beckett pointed out to him.

Laughing briefly Castle told her, "I do, but just touching isn't that bad." He was a little startled when she was sitting up and he told her, "Or maybe it is."

"I don't want to just yet," Beckett said.

"Well…" Castle replied before he trailed off. When she leaned into him, he was swift to wrap his arms around her and responded to her kiss. After she had pulled away, he told her, "But you remember you said something about wanting to have a lot more before we sleep."

"I didn't say anything about sleep," Beckett said seriously, laying on her stomach next to him by then.

"I adore you Kate," Castle said in the same tone of voice as he stared at her.

"I adore you love," Beckett said, smiling when her husband's response was to grab her to flip her onto her back. When he began kissing her, she spread her legs for him, feeling her heart beating faster in her eagerness for their love making yet again.


Listening to his wife's heavy breathing once he had his arms wrapped around her tightly, Castle told her, "That was a hell of an anniversary."

"It's the next morning Rick," Beckett managed to say.

"Still, it applies," Castle said immediately. He smiled when his wife was laughing and rubbing his hand over her upper arm said, "And you enjoyed it."

Hearing the slightly questioning tone there, Beckett leaned up to kiss his jaw a few times before she told him, "Of course I did."

"And we're leaving now," Castle said.

"We're not staying out for that long," Beckett said firmly. "We have to go swimming remember?" She smiled when her husband pretended to slump into the mattress and she kissed his jaw again and said, "But after that and until our reservations…"

"I love being married to you," Castle said instantly in response.

"So do I," Beckett replied before her husband was turning to her. She took his kiss he was soon after giving her eagerly before pulling him, so he was laying on her shortly after. "We do need to have breakfast," she told him.

"And we can grab something really fast," Castle said. He watched her to see her reaction and when it was to wrap her legs around him, he said, "Goddess, I love you."

"I love you too Rick," Beckett replied while she was tightening her hold on him. While he began to kiss her, she helped him before he was sliding inside of her, and they were groaning in pleasure at the same time. Once their hips were flush, they were pulling apart and she told him, "Please take me love."

"I gcónaí?" Castle asked her immediately.

"I gcónaí," Beckett replied with a smile before that slipped off her face when he began to thrust in her. Though they'd been together repeatedly in celebration the day before, she couldn't resist her husband and made no effort to while he began satiating her once more.
