"It's so weird," Julia said, looking out the window.

"What?" Mari asked, stepping up to her to do the same.

"That the people that went across the country all those years ago came this way," Julia answered. "I mean not here exactly but the area," she added hurriedly, not surprised her friend nudged her lightly with her arm before she spoke with a smile.

"Don't worry, I knew what you meant," Mari said. She looked out at their view and said, "Well… the river's the same at least," since they could just barely see it from their suite at The Nines hotel in Portland.

"I'm trying to remember that," Julia said.

"And you looked at the phone for Oregon City, didn't you?" Mari asked before her friend was protesting.

"I couldn't help it! I've read that book so many times," Julia informed her.

"Where is it?" Mari asked curiously.

"South of us, so unless we're going in that direction, I don't think we're going," Julia replied.

"Why don't you ask your parents?" Mari said.

"I was thinking of that," Julia said, nodding her head. "I might when we leave."

"We need to now," Mari said, looking at the time on her phone.

"Yeah," Julia said, seeing it herself. They went to the door and grabbed their bags before she said, "Ready?"

"I guess," Mari replied.

"I'm sure they'll tell us what we're going to do now," Julia said with a smile.

"Come on," Mari said laughingly before they were leaving their room. Once they were in the lobby, they saw her friend's parents there with Josie and she said, "I didn't think we were that early."

"Me neither," Julia said before she heard another set of doors opening and she turned with her friend to find that Skye and Mary were exiting with their family.

"How's your room?" Castle asked with a smile when the others were with him though he was talking to his daughter.

"Good, we can just see the river," Julia replied. "Do you know what we're going to do now? Just walk around?"

"Wait for everyone else to get here before we talk about that," Beckett told her.

Julia was a little impatient but relieved when it didn't take too much longer for the rest of their group to be there before they were standing all together. "So…" she said pointedly.

"This is your idea," Castle told Skye.

"It… okay, fine," the investigator started to say before she stopped and shook her head. Skye smiled and then said, "We're going to the river, there's a park along it. I don't know if you all want to, but Mary and I thought we could ride bikes along it. If you're not all tired of bikes."

Calming down the kids with the others Beckett said, "We're going right now."

"How far are we going?" Eve asked when they began to leave the lobby.

"Until about six or so," Skye said.

"Dinner, tell us where dinner is!" Eliza said with a gasp before speaking eagerly to her mother.

"We'll tell you later," Castle said instead of his wife. "Later," he repeated firmly when she frowned at him.

"Remember we're going to get our bikes now," Mary commented.

"Just wondering," Eliza said before she let her father take her hand and they continued to a bicycle store. "I don't have to ride with you, do I?"

"No, but you'll stay with your grandfather," Castle said.

"But…" Eliza started to say before she trailed off at the looks her parents were giving her. "Okay," she said quickly. She smiled when her father hugged her tightly before they were walking inside, and they started to get their bikes.

Once they were all in the park, Skye said to everyone, "Where would you like to go? North or south?"

"North?" Julia asked. She then made a face and said, "Why did you all look at me?"

"I felt like we should," Eve said in amusement.

"I'm guessing you saw the bend?" Skye asked the teen.

"Yeah… are we going that far?" Julia said in surprise.

"We could," Beckett said when her friend looked at her. She wasn't surprised when the others agreed, and they were getting on their bikes before they began to ride. She had allowed Castle to take the bike with the seat in the back and she eventually said to him, "Alright?"

"Yeah, it's surprisingly comfortable," Castle said. He paused for a moment and then asked his wife, "That didn't sound extremely dirty, did it?"

"No," Beckett said with a smile. "So you're clear."

"Oh good," Castle said, smiling himself when she began to laugh.

"This is so pretty," Marie was saying while she and the older kids were riding in a group.

"I know," Jacob said. He glanced at his sister who was next to him at that moment and said, "Are you here?"

"Yes," Eve said. "I was just thinking."

"Of Peter," Jacob said instantly. He grimaced when his sister glared at him and said, "Sorry, I felt like that should be said."

"It's alright, but I was," Eve replied. Shaking her head, she then said, "You know something?"

"I asked already," Julia said in amusement, having an idea of what her friend was going to say after that. "And my dad said after dinner."

"After dinner?" the others said in surprise.

"Yes, after dinner," Castle called back to them since he could easily hear their discussion. "I'm not budging from that."

Rolling her eyes Julia said, "I told you guys."

"Then we better go faster," Jacob said.

"You can't be hungry already," Lily told her son. When his reply was an exaggerated, high pitched, "Maybe," she laughed with the others.

"We don't have that much time left," Liam said.

"Good thing," Ivy said, riding her bike with him before her grandfather was immediately responding.

"You're tired already?" Liam asked her.

"No, but I am getting hungry," Ivy said.

"Me too," Eliza said from behind the two.

"Hopefully you can pay attention to the scenery too," Jim told his second youngest granddaughter.

"I am," Eliza said in a rush. "It's very pretty… and there's a river!"

Jim laughed briefly before he said, "There is. I'm guessing you like that the most."

"For now, I haven't seen a lot of this city yet Grandpapa," Eliza informed him.

"Neither have I," Jim said before the little girl was heading to her friends that had called out to her.

"Should we… go over to him?" Castle asked his wife while they were watching Eliza.

"He's fine," Beckett said since he immediately moved to ride with Pablo and Liam. She then looked at her husband and said in amusement, "Are you going to be able to handle waiting until after we eat?"

"Of course," Castle said. "Since it was my suggestion."

"Yeah, and my reminder," Skye said behind them.

Beckett laughed with Mary when their spouses were sticking their tongues out at each other playfully. They reached the bend in the river, and they turned to look at the scenery while the kids were exclaiming at the sight of the trees and city ahead of them.

"I can't believe we're walking now," Eliza said to her mother.

"If it was raining harder then we wouldn't be," Beckett said, smiling at her.

"I know," Eliza said eagerly. "But… where are we going? The hotel?"

"Not yet," Beckett replied simply. "We're almost there," she assured her daughter at her dismayed look.

"Okay," Eliza replied.

"I think we are there," Julia said, walking behind the two with Mari under the umbrella they had. "Right there," she said to her little sister when she looked back at her in surprise before she was exclaiming happily.

"Is that it! Is-" Eliza cried out happily before her father was calming her down.

"It is," Castle said. "And yes, we're getting a donut."

"This is the original one, isn't it?" Pablo asked them.

"Rick made sure it was," Beckett commented.

"When you got the hotel?" Martha asked her son in surprise.

"No," Castle said in amusement at the startled expression on her mother's face. "I found out after that it was so close." He studied the expressions on everyone's face; while they were waiting to cross the street; and he commented to his wife, "They don't believe me."

"Not really," Beckett said with a smile on her face.

"Mama!" Josie complained them. "Wanna go out."

"Wait until we're at the shop sweetie," Beckett told her, relieved the light changed and they were allowed to cross.

"What're you going to get?" Eve asked Julia.

"Hmm, I think something I haven't before," the girl replied.

"Not the voodoo doll one?" Jacob asked.

"Not this time, something different," Julia said.

"You want to share one of the huge ones?" Mari asked, smiling when she saw her friend's gaze turn to her.

"The Memphis one… or the apple one, whatever you'd like," Julia said. "You can decide."

"Let's get the apple one," Mari said right as they walked inside Voodoo Donuts.

"Good idea, I think they have a lot of those here," Julia commented.

"They do," Castle said once they were in line. "But the state we were just in has a lot more."

"Oh! I just remembered, in my book they planted trees, apples I think. Once they got here to Oregon I mean," Julia said to her friend. "Sorry Dad," she told him with a smile.

"That's okay, so that's what you want?" Castle asked her. After she'd nodded, he told both girls, "You can walk around while we wait."

"Thanks," Julia said before they were leaving the line. They moved to join the other older kids who looking at the décor on the walls and she said, "What'd you guys pick?"

"We got the Voodoo Doll one," Jacob answered, motioning to himself and his sister.

"And I got the Chuckles one," Marie told them.

"I picked Grape Ape," Kathleen replied. "You two are sharing?"

"The apple one," Mari answered with a nod. She looked around and then asked, "Are we eating here?"

"Mum and Mom were going to ask your parents if we could eat at their suite," Marie explained. "Think they would let us?"

"Probably, it's a big suite," Julia commented before they continued around the store until their families were getting the pink boxes with their orders. She walked with Mari back to the hotel, an eight minute walk before they were meeting together in her parents' suite.

"Do we have milk? I feel like the kids should have some," Darnley was saying as he walked over to the little kitchen the suite had. He watched Beckett pulling something out of the fridge and said, "Seriously?"

"I didn't plan out proximity to the donuts," Castle said, walking past the carpenter and to his wife. "But I did plan to go get some and decided we needed milk." He turned to his wife and asked, "Did they get the right one?"

"They did," Beckett said with a smile while he wrapped his arm around her waist. She watched Darnley leave them with a smirk on his face before she turned to her husband and asked, "What're you doing?"

"They can't see us," Castle told her.

"No, they can," Beckett said, smiling when he immediately slumped against her. She kissed his cheek before she said, "Come on, we need to get up early tomorrow."

"Not that early," Castle protested though he was letting her go. He helped her pour out the milk before Josie was walking up to them and he said, "We're going to have donuts soon sweetheart," not surprised when she reached for the counter while she spoke.

"Donuts Dada?" Josie asked.

"Not yet," Castle said, picking her up. "Once we get the milk, we'll have some."

"I want some," Josie said firmly to her mother, watching her pour some into one of her sippy cups.

"You'll have some soon sweetie," Beckett told her in amusement. She put the lid on the cup and told her husband, "You don't have to stay here."

"I am going to help," Castle replied firmly. He then glanced across the living room and saw Skye was on her phone.

"I saw," Beckett said after her husband had touched her arm. "Hopefully it's not an investigation," not surprised when he nodded in agreement.

"Want to go over to your grandparents?" Castle asked Josie when he saw his wife was grabbing some glasses.

"Eh," the toddler replied with a smile. Josie shared a kiss with her father before he put her down, but instead of going to her grandparents she went to a window behind the couch near the fireplace.

"What are you doing?" Maddy asked, walking over to her.

Smiling Josie said, "Lights out."

"I know a lot," Eliza said, having joined them. She wasn't surprised when her sister hugged her tightly and she responded before kissing the top of her head. "But we need to go around the other way."

"No," Josie told her. "I stay… here."

"Good job," Eliza said, hugging her.

"No Lizzy!" Josie protested.

"Hey, don't push her," Julia said, walking around in a rush hearing her baby sister crying out. "Why do you want to stay?"

"Mose," Josie said.

"What does that mean?" Eliza asked, stepping up to them.

Julia was about to respond before their little sister was looking at the little girl with wide eyes and then bursting into tears. "It's okay," she said in a rush, reaching for the toddler. Kissing her temple after she'd picked her up, she said, "Lizzy isn't mad at you."

"Oh no," Eliza said in a rush at her sister's look. "I know you just wanted to see outside."

"Eh," Josie said though she was sobbing a little still. "Sorry," she said, sniffing.

Kissing her sister's cheek Eliza said, "It's okay, but now you need some tissues."

Giggling Maddy said, "We can play with them."

"Wait," Julia said as Eliza cried out a yeah. "You can't play with them, and you all forgot something very important."

"Toys?" Josie asked.

"No, you don't have any here in the suite anyways," Julia told her teasingly, tickling her neck. After she'd stopped, she said, "We have donuts!"

"Right now!" Mari said, hanging over the back of the couch to look at everyone. She smiled when Josie squealed and clapped her hands before she said, "Sorry, your parents are calling for everyone to get their donuts and I need your big sister Josie."

"Jules?" the toddler asked before Mari was nodding. "I want do… donuts," she said before her mother was talking to her teasingly.

"You're only getting one sweetie," Beckett told her. She reached for Josie when the toddler reached out to her and once she had her youngest set on her hip she turned to tell the others to join them before she saw they had left except for Julia and Mari. "Go get yours," she told the pair. "You need to split your donut." When they'd left, she turned her attention to Josie and said, "Are you okay now?" At the toddler's nod she hugged her gently and said, "Then do you want to have our donut?"

"I can have?" Josie asked. She smiled when her mother told her yes and then said, "Donuts Mama."

"Actually, she's right," Castle said in a rush as he walked over to his wife. "I was going to let her have a little of mine."

"Thank Dada," Josie said. She laughed when he narrowed his eyes at her playfully and said, "Thank you Dada."

"You're welcome," Castle said, kissing her cheek. "We'll sit here?" he asked.

"Yes, put that on the coffee table, you're going to spill her milk," Beckett said, smiling when Josie gasped at the reminder of her drink. She was a little startled when her husband kissed her cheek after he'd set everything down, walking back to the kitchen. Though she wanted to see what he was planning to do, she turned her attention to Josie, sitting on the couch and getting the toddler's milk to her.

"I thought you might want a little too," Castle said once he was walking back to them, two smaller glasses of milk in his hands.

"I did," Beckett said before she thanked him. After he'd sat down next to her, she pulled him a little to her and murmured, "I want coffee after they're gone."

Tensing for a moment, Castle recovered in a rush since Skye and Mary were sitting in the chairs to their left. He nodded to his wife and turned to the two women saying, "You don't have an investigation, do you?"

"No," Skye replied. "That was Paul, he said he and Nancy might not be able to join us once we're in L.A. Sorry Julia."

"He did say he might be too busy," the teen said, having been walking up to them with Mari. Julia studied the investigator and said, "You got an idea for something."

"You're too much like your mum," Skye said with a smile. "And I was debating us going to a theme park."

"You realize it's going to be too hot," Beckett told him.

"I know," Skye replied. "But what about a water park?"

"Oh, now you're ready for Raging Waters?" Castle asked.

"If everyone agrees to it," Skye commented.

"Is it safe?" Rebecca asked.

"It is, we've gone several times," Mary said, addressing everyone. "Which is why the girls were gasping," she added with a smile, glancing at hers and Skye's daughters.

"I'm all for it," Brad said.

When the others agreed Beckett said, "That one free day you and Rick didn't plan."

"Yeah," Skye said. "But I do have another idea for when we're in LA," she added. "I was thinking we should split up for dinner the night… we head somewhere," she started to say before she realized she couldn't really reveal the plans before David was responding laughingly.

"We'll have to talk about that when the kids aren't around," the mayor said.

"What, no protesting?" Darnley said in mock surprise.

"You'd never tell us anyway," Eve commented.

"Okay," Darnley replied before they were laughing.

"I'll mention it to you guys later," Skye said.

Turning her attention back to Josie, Beckett saw she was burying her face into her piece of their donut. "Josie," she told her daughter laughingly. She took the napkin her husband handed her before she told him, "At least you only gave her one of the arms of yours," since he'd gotten the Voodoo Doll donut.

"I figured you'd protest anything else," Castle said with a smile.

"Of course," Beckett replied with a smile before her husband was leaning slightly against her.

"Mama," Josie said then. "Look!"

"I see, very pretty lipstick," Beckett said in amusement since the toddler had smashed her piece against her mouth, dislodging the mango jelly inside onto her.

"You should just lick that off," Castle told Josie. "It looks like it's good jelly."

"Oh, sweetie," Beckett said when Josie began nodding and some of the jelly fell onto her shirt.

"It came off," Castle said quickly, having raced with a napkin.

Kissing Josie's temple, Beckett made sure the toddler had gotten the jelly off her mouth before she said, "Keep eating."

Looking at his wife in surprise, Castle tried not to react visibly at the expression on her face and asked the kids what they wanted to do for dinner the next day. While they were talking about their options, he felt Beckett's hand slipping into his and he smiled at her before they watched the kids as they were making bigger exaggerations and making the other adults laugh in response before they were giving their own suggestions.

"Are you okay?" Beckett asked her husband with a smile while she walked into their bedroom.

"Fine," Castle replied with a slight frown on his face as he looked at the end of their bed. "I'm trying to figure this out to be honest. Why put this here? It's not a dresser, there's no TV…"

"You have an idea for it," Beckett said. She smirked when her husband turned to her immediately in response and told him, "Tell me I'm lying."

Castle's response was to reach for his wife and pull her to him before he crushed his lips to hers. He didn't linger for very long, pulling back carefully to tell her, "And you want to know what it is," watching her while she bit at her lower lip for a moment until she responded.

"You'll show me?" Beckett asked. When her husband was kissing her deeply, she held onto him tightly before they were reaching for each other's tops. "Wait," she said in amusement when her husband was trying to pull her shirt up over her head.

"Do you need to go slowly for this?" Castle asked, stopping but still holding onto the bottom of it.

"No," Beckett said, though she'd been tempted to tease him she found she couldn't since she'd been fighting her desire for him for some time that night. She helped him in undressing her but stopped him once her shirt and pants were off.

"You-" Castle started to say before she was taking his shirt in her hands and pulling him to her. They kissed passionately before they were slowly pulling apart and without a word, he helped her in getting his clothes off. They moved to the bed and after they were both sitting on it, he reached around her, helping her remove her bra before she was suddenly getting off the bed. "I should have taken care of you before," he told her teasingly.

Smiling at him, Beckett said, "You've been enjoying watching me lately."

"Yes, but helping is great too," Castle replied easily. He wasn't surprised when she didn't respond since she was removing her panties. He had moved to the edge of the bed while she did that and he grabbed for her, pulling her to him and telling her, "You're gorgeous love."

"With my hair the way it is?" Beckett asked with a smile, getting on her knees on the bed. She couldn't help laughing softly at his hesitation and brushed her lips to his before she said, "Don't worry love, I was planning on taking this down anyway." With that she reached up to her hair, undoing the braid she'd put her hair in that day before he was reaching up and gently running his fingers through her locks once they were down.

"Did I hurt you?" Castle asked, freezing when his wife was looking at him pointedly.

"No but you did say you'd tell me what idea you had for… that," Beckett said before they were turning at the same time to look at the end of their bed.

"I did," Castle said, nodding his head. He looked at his wife and said, "Not yet."

Beckett was startled for a moment before her husband was suddenly gathering her in his arms. She was responding to him as soon as his lips met hers and while they were doing that, she was running her hands around his back. She wasn't surprised when he suddenly pulled her onto his lap and once she was set, she was kissing him, sliding her fingers through his hair. As soon as they had exchanged a few of those kisses she pulled back to catch her breath and tell him, "We're going a little too slow."

"I did want a little time," Castle explained, gently rubbing at the small of her back where his hand was resting. "For you."

"I don't need that much," Beckett replied. She brushed her lips tenderly to his and then told him, "Come on." She wasn't surprised when he was quick to follow, and she soon got up on the wooden box that comprised the end of the bed. Her husband had previously put a towel on it, and she told him, "I already knew."

"I'm aware," Castle said in amusement. He saw her suddenly looking down him seriously and he was swift to tell her, "It's alright, and I'll let you know if it isn't," saying the last firmly before she responded.

"Then you should start," Beckett said firmly. When her husband's response was to nod, she was swift to wrap her arms around him as he raised himself on his knees. He was quick to begin kissing over her breasts and she was trembling gently at how gentle he was. She held him gently, watching him moving around her mounds before he kissed her nipples in turn.

"Kate," Castle murmured once he'd pulled away. He met her lips when she bent her head down to him and they were kissing sensuously before he raised his hands to her breasts. Gently caressing at her he moved back enough to tell her, "I could do this for hours," startled when she suddenly stopped him.

"You won't," Beckett replied. "And you won't take that long doing this." She smiled when her husband hesitated before she informed him, "You're going to fuck me."

Castle found he couldn't really respond to that, so he only nodded before he was able to speak and he told her, "How long?"

"We can try that hours thing you suggested," Beckett said with a smile.

"Can I call you pervert now?" Castle asked huskily, sliding his hands up her thighs at the same time she spread her legs for him.

"No," Beckett said, her voice a little sultry with her desire. She bowed her head to him so they could kiss again though he didn't let it last long. She wasn't that surprised, while she watched him kissing at both her knees, that he was shortly after moving to her inner thighs and kissing his way over both of them. "Rick, hurry," she begged him since each brush of his lips against her skin was driving her crazy.

Not responding to that, Castle slid up further before he reached her sex, and he flicked his tongue out to her folds. He wasn't that startled to find she was already wet, and he had to press himself to move from it before he made her orgasm too quickly. Reaching up he carefully spread her cleft and lowered his mouth to her clit before the sound of her cries of pleasure reached his ears. Trying not to falter, he was gently kissing at her at first before he moved to begin sucking on the swollen nub. Hearing her crying out again, he continued, schooling himself not to go too quickly.

"You… you don't need to…" Beckett started to say before she was moaning. "Rick, you don't need to take that long," she gasped.

"I won't," Castle promise.

"And I want to suck on your cock until you come," Beckett told him firmly.

Castle had to pull away from her for a moment before he breathed out at her words and asked, "Am I still fucking you?"

"You don't want my pussy?" Beckett asked him.

"Yes," Castle nearly growled before he buried his face into her sex. While he began to eagerly lick at her arousal and folds of moist skin, he could hear her crying out to him in her pleasure to his delight.

"Please don't…" Beckett started to say. "Stop… please d-don't," she did her best to continue though her voice was a little shaky and she stuttered as he was moving to lap at her clit. When he nodded hard deliberately, she was crying out in joy before she moved her hands from either side of her to tangle her fingers through his hair. "Rick," she moaned when he was sinking his tongue inside of her sex again. She couldn't stop herself, moving in time with him and nearly biting into her lower lip when her husband was groaning against her. The deep grunt reverberated within her against his tongue, and she couldn't keep herself from orgasming. "Rick! Oh, love I'm coming… I can't… stop," she managed to say though her body was racked with ecstasy and moving hard.

Castle was relieved he'd gotten some kind of hint she was at her peak since it allowed him to hold her tightly in place. But he could still feel her trying to get out of his hold and it was stimulating him greatly. He did his best to focus as much as he could on his wife and tasting her pleasure but while she calmed down, he realized he wasn't going to last very long himself and he told her.

Smiling Beckett said, "It's only fair I guess."

Kissing her left thigh once he was satisfied he'd cleaned her well, Castle moved to sit up on his knees before she was sliding down onto him. He took her kiss and responded eagerly before they were caressing one another. Cupping her ass eventually, he was about to lay her down when she stopped him. "I thought you… wanted me to… fuck you?" he asked, pausing while he was speaking to kiss at the tops of her breasts.

"You will, not yet," Beckett told him firmly. She laughed when he pretended to scramble to get onto the box before she was scooting closer to him.

"What?" Castle asked when he noticed the dissatisfied expression on his wife's face.

Pushing herself up higher, Beckett leaned over and gently began kissing at his chest before she took the time to suck at his nipples. Feeling his hands in her hair and on the small of her back she smiled for a moment before she was moving around and kissing over his skin.

"Kate… remember I'm-" Castle started to say with a groan.

"I know," Beckett replied, smiling at him as she pulled away. "And I don't care." Seeing the expression on his face she told him firmly while she caressed his chest, "I did want your cock inside me."

"I want your pussy love," Castle said swiftly.

Pulling her husband down to her, Beckett shared a gentle kiss with him before she moved back down his body. Kissing over his chest on the way, she didn't stop until she was at his erection and gently curled her fingers around him. She wasn't surprised at her husband's groans of pleasure at just that and she bent her head quickly to kiss the tip of him. She allowed herself a moment to lick her lips clean before she was parting them to lower her head on him. After she had gone down him as far as she could, she slowly raised her mouth before she told focused on the tip of him. Hearing his reactions to her tonguing him firmly she could feel herself becoming aroused more and more and she began to bob her head.

"Love," Castle hissed in pleasure at the sensation of her speeding up on him. He had been about to ask her if she was sure she wanted to go that quickly, but knew she wasn't going to answer him. Feeling how fast she was going; he was trying not to reach for her, but it soon became impossible. At the same time he tangled his fingers through her hair he found his peak and called out her name as a warning. He did his best to just hold onto her hair and managed to, before he was focusing on the sensation of her mouth until he slumped back on one hand. Breathing hard he forced his eyes open to watch her, kissing and lapping lightly at him before he was able to move.

Smiling when her husband was taking her with him before they were moving to the other end of the bed, Beckett told him, "You're ready?"

"I am," Castle said firmly. "But please tell me that you are."

"You should check," Beckett told him seductively. She took her husband's kiss he immediately gave her, and they spent some time doing that, their tongues curling and rubbing around each other before they slowly parted to catch their breath and he spoke to her huskily.

"You'll have to remind me to start," Castle said though he was already reaching down her body.

"Pervert," Beckett managed to say before she closed her eyes tightly when his fingers were gently rubbing against her sex.

Listening to the way his wife was moaning; Castle felt his length throb in response but lingered a little more before he pulled his hand away. Bringing his fingers up to his mouth he sucked them off, maintaining eye contact with Beckett while he did so. He was pleased to see her eyes went to his mouth though he was soon stopping. He was intending to kiss her at that point when she was pushing herself up to reach down in between them.

Beckett could hear her husband's breathing growing rougher while she gently rubbed around the tip of him. Gathering his arousal there on her first two fingers she was sucking it off quickly before he was making her lay back down. "What do you want me to do?" she asked, realizing that from his expression.

"Move with me," Castle said, his voice thick with his desire again. When she gave him a rapid nod he moved then, raising himself above her and pausing to let her grasp him. They worked together to slip him inside of her and he shortly after slid in her though he only did that briefly.

Nearly screaming in delight at her husband ramming into her shortly after, Beckett had her nails in his skin before she got a hold of herself. Breathing a little roughly she told him, "You…"

"I won't," Castle said, aware she meant if he would stop. He clenched his teeth together at the sensation of her moving her legs, and after glancing back to find she had placed her feet flat on the bed he turned to her and proceeded to move. Thrusting as hard as he could immediately, he was nearly yelling while she called his name and he had to school himself not to slow down or stop. He was aware with how much pleasure he was feeling in just that one movement that they weren't going to last for very long. For a moment he debated telling her they should slow down, but he recalled her saying something about hours. Thinking of that, he couldn't stop himself, moving even harder before the sounds of their hips slapping together and the bed beneath them nearly sent him into his orgasm. He managed to control himself to have a little more time to listen to her obvious enjoyment in him adding to the sounds.

Hearing the same, Beckett held him as tightly as she could, trying to remember to touch him since she wanted more stimulation. She was pressing her cheek to the side of his head as he was roughly spreading her sex repeatedly before he kissed her while they threw themselves into their lovemaking to enable them to repeat it as many times as they could.

Shifting a little against his wife, Castle's eyes flew open, and he looked in between them though with the bed sheet over them he couldn't see much. But he could feel what his sensual dreams of his wife had brought, and he carefully slid away from her, having been spooning her. Just as he'd placed his left foot on the floor he paused when she shifted next to him.

"Where are you going," Beckett told him while she turned around to look at him.

"The… nowhere," Castle started to say before she sat up and the sheet fell off of her. He felt himself a little breathless at her smile before he had to force himself to pay attention to her when she started to speak.

"Good," Beckett said in response to his answer to her question. "Now get back into bed."

Hesitating for a moment Castle said, "We have to leave soon."

"Not really," Beckett said though she wasn't that sure what time it was.

"You want more of the same," he stated instead of asking. Castle wasn't really surprised when his wife merely stared at him and he nodded his head rapidly before saying, "Me too."

Her smile spreading across her lips swiftly, Beckett was reaching for her husband and pulling him to her while she laid back on the bed.

"You're sure you're not sore," Castle told his wife.

"If you ask me that again you're sleeping on the couch," Beckett replied in amusement. When he pursed his lips, she laughed softly and then pulled him to her for a kiss. Though she was tempted to deepen it after they'd begun, their family and Mari were going to join them for breakfast in their suite, so she slowly moved away from him. "Hmm," she said when they'd parted. "Will you be okay?" she then said when she realized he was holding her tightly to his body.

"I think so," Castle said before he heard a knock on the door. "I have to be," he added in a rush. He brushed his lips to hers and then let her go before he went to let Julia and Mari in first.

"Morning," Julia said. "Three more days left."

"Interesting greeting," Castle teased her.

"Just wanted to say," Julia replied, laughing when her father pretended to go after her. She went to her mother and hugged her tightly before turning back to Castle and hugging him. "I'm excited still."

"But you can't wait to keep going around," Castle said.

Spotting her friend hesitating, Mari smiled and said, "She's thinking of San Francisco."

"I am," Julia said in a rush when her parents were looking at her. "But I'm still enjoying now."

"We know," Beckett assured her. "But we can't wait to get there too."

"Definitely… LA too," Castle said.

Julia smiled and said, "Thanks for letting us go to Raging Waters."

"We let you go in Florida, why not here?" Castle asked in amusement.

"But that's a while still," Beckett said pointedly, not surprised when Julia was hurrying to respond.

"Yeah, I'm really excited to see the zoo," the teen said.

"Do you have your things?" Castle asked the pair.

Nodding, Mari spoke first saying, "We made sure."

"And you're okay with having breakfast with us," Castle told her.

Smiling, Mari said reassuringly, "I am, and Mom and Dad but you did talk with them, right?"

"We did, and yes they were fine," Beckett said before her husband could respond. "And you two can put your bags by the door."

"Mind if we put them on the couch?" Julia asked.

"No," Beckett said in amusement. "And yes, you can look out at that view."

"You could tell," Julia stated instead of asking.

"Of course," Castle said. He watched with his wife as the girls were going over to the couch and looking north though Mount St. Helens wasn't visible at that moment. He turned to his wife and gently brushed her hair behind her ear before he murmured to her, "I love you, Kate."

"I love you too," Beckett replied with a smile before he was leaning into her. She wasn't surprised when he was gently kissing her before they were parting slowly.

"Horrible timing," Castle said in mock annoyance when there was a knock on the door.

"We expected that," Beckett told him with a smile before she urged him to the door. She wasn't surprised when he wasn't letting go of her hand and she followed him willingly so they could allow their family in and start their first full day in Portland.
