"You're not cold at all?" May asked Beckett, stepping out to her on the terrace.

"No," she replied firmly, taking the glass of wine her friend handed to her. Beckett was about to take a sip before she hesitated and then asked, "Do I want to know what my husband is doing right now?"

"Nothing bad," May replied, trying not to laugh. She wasn't surprised when her friend was frowning and was about to reassure her when Beckett was speaking firmly.

"If he's with the kids in the game room then I'm not surprised," she commented. When her friend nodded, Beckett said, "I had a feeling, though I thought they'd still be eating those cookies."

Laughing briefly, May said, "I put them away, I didn't want anyone to get sick."

With a nod, Beckett looked back out to the view of the bay and took another sip of her drink before she turned to her friend. "How're you and Luke doing?" she asked.

"Good, we're fine now," May replied. She smiled a little and said, "I had a feeling you were going to ask."

"I kind of have to," Beckett said.

"Do we seem to have issues?" May asked in slight concern.

Shaking her head Beckett said rapidly, "No, but I couldn't forget what you told me about when you came back from Thailand."

"I transferred," May said. She wasn't surprised when her friend was and said, "I was given the chance to take over a position dealing with animation projects, and I took it since I can stay here for that." She then said with a smile, "Plus I can be with the kids."

"And after that was buying this house," Beckett stated.

"We were crowded in the apartment and the opportunity was too good to miss," May replied.

"I'll agree with you," Beckett said, nodding. She then said, "But I'm glad you're doing alright."

"Me too," May said.

"What about getting counseling?" Beckett asked after they'd drunk in silence for a while.

"No, we talked things over and since we're at a good place now we're going to leave that option out," May said.

"It doesn't sound like it ever was an option," Beckett said.

"I know," May said, making a face before she was laughing with her friend. "But that's what they say isn't it? When you start having marriage troubles?"

"Not to butt into this conversation, but I'd blame that on the show Rhoda," Skye said while she walked up to the two women.

"Good point, and that stupid idea of a couple on a show needing to separate after getting married never seems to go away," May said.

"If you're going to talk shop I'll head back inside," Beckett said jokingly.

"I'm kidding," May replied, smiling at her friend's tone. She turned to the investigator and asked, "Were our kids looking for us?"

"Or our husbands?" Beckett asked.

"Neither," Skye said, smiling. "The kids want us to sing."

"Who's us?" May asked while they were walking together inside the house.

"Me, Paul and Mary," Skye said before she paused while they were making their way to the elevator in the entry. "Hmm, good band name. Just needs a little work."

"Keep going," Beckett told her. After they had entered the car she said, "What did Julia pick?"

"Frank Sinatra's Party," Skye said.

"What?" May asked, looking at her friend and seeing her smiling.

"She picked that to dance to," Beckett replied.

"She mentioned that while I was leaving," Skye told her.

"You don't have any instruments," May said.

"We play music on the phone," Skye explained while they stepped out to the lowest floor. When the producer nodded, she followed her with Beckett to the game room where the others were gathered. "Okay, we're ready to start," she said to get everyone's attention.

"I have the music ready," Mary told her wife.

"You don't want to dance?" Castle asked his wife when she walked up to him.

Smiling Beckett said, "Are you assuming?"

"No, just checking since Josie let me know she wanted to," Castle replied.

"You can only dance with one person?" Beckett asked, smiling again.

"Basically," Castle said in mock seriousness. When she laughed, he took her hand and squeezed it gently before they turned to the three as the music began and they were eventually singing, Paul and Skye taking turns with verses while Mary sang backup.

We had the greatest time
At Frank Sinatra's party
We drank expensive wine
Then watched the night roll by

I saw a show girl dance
With Sammy Davis Jr.
They had a brief romance
Under the desert sky

Fee, fi, fo, fum
I'm not the only Englishman
I'm under cover, but plenty of others
Are already flying high

"Nice reggae voices," Paul said to the pair of women.

"Been to Jamaica," Skye said, affecting an accent from the island before she was smiling.

"Sing with me for the rest," Paul told the investigator though he was glancing at Mary. When they started the next chorus, he wasn't surprised it was just Skye but didn't try to gesture to the doctor.

See Angie Dickinson
Bump into Peter Lawford
She's out to have some fun
He doesn't seem to mind

You don't have to doubt yourself
No, not on a night like this

At the instrumental, Skye couldn't help pretending to play the chords and she smiled when her wife wrapped her arms around her and kissed the side of her head before they had to sing with Paul again.

Jump in the swimming pool
Say hi to Dino Martin
He's hot to play it cool
Watching the girls go by

Fee, fi, fo, fum
I'm not the only Englishman
I'm under cover, but plenty of others
Are already flying high

"How can you keep dancing?" Clare asked Julia and Mari.

"We're used to it," the two said at the same time before they were looking at each other and laughing before the song was finishing.

Come and enjoy yourself
At Frank Sinatra's party
We had the greatest time
Watching the night go by

"Do you think the kids are going to be mad?" Mary asked.

"A little, but they're aware of their bedtimes," Lily commented with a smile before they were looking at the men who were leaving the pool though there was one person remaining in the water as they spoke.

"Thanks for going, at least now I'm not feeling awkward," Skye said jokingly.

"I'm coming," Mary said, shaking her head and leaving the table she'd been sitting at with the other women. "I got caught up talking."

"I'm not surprised," Beckett said with a smile. After Mary had gone into the water with her wife, she looked at her husband while he was sitting next to her and she said, "Good swim?"

"Yeah," Castle replied, toweling off his hair. He then said, "You don't want to swim?"

"I told you I'm done for the day," Beckett said. "Are you?"

"Now I am," Castle assured her. He put his towel around his shoulders and said to the others, "What were we talking about."

"Nice," Brad said, rolling his eyes.

"Just trying to make them laugh," Castle said in mock self-defense.

"We were discussing tomorrow," Lily then answered.

"Shouldn't Skye be here for that?" Luke asked. He then said, "It sounds like she should be, the way you were talking."

"I think so," Beckett said, not surprised when the other women were looking at her.

"We're out of the pool right now," Skye herself said while she and Mary were climbing out of the water. "And I heard Alcatraz, so I better be here for this," she told them before she was drying off.

Once they were sitting at the table Mary asked, "Do you feel like you need to plan?"

"More think of possible scenarios," Castle replied before he glanced at his wife.

Shaking her head Beckett said, "I'm thinking if we should even go."

"They can go," Skye said after thinking for a moment. "And you but I'd recommend we stick close to each other."

"Kate…" May said with a frown.

Making a gesture with her hand Skye said, "You haven't told her?"

"No," Beckett said. "You don't mind doing that?"

"I don't," Skye replied reassuringly. She then explained to May and Luke her abilities and Beckett's, the writer mentioning her lessening skepticism, and eventually said, "Julia and Eliza have the same… Josie too though she's early in them."

"Don't they say that kids see spirits a lot easier?" Luke asked.

"You believe in that?" Nkosi asked.

"We saw your episodes of Ghost Adventures," May replied, speaking to the McDouglas women. "And the one in Mexico City with you there too," she then directed to Castle and Beckett.

"We just filmed another," she said. "If you'll want to see it."

"Really?" May asked in obvious interest.

"When will it be on?" Luke asked with the same tone.

"For Halloween," Skye said. When she saw everyone was looking at her, she said, "Don't act so surprised, we were there for all night, the girls for a large part and we got a lot of evidence. They did too and Zak e-mailed me after dinner that they just need agreements from you four about your kids," not surprised when David was speaking first.

"They'll get it from us," the mayor commented.

"Us too," Castle said.

"I'll let him know he can e-mail me the forms; we'll sign them in LA," Skye said.

"Are you going to do that again, investigate?" May asked her friend.

"They've asked us to," Beckett answered. "And we probably will as long as the girls will be okay doing it."

"Eliza was okay," Luke stated.

"Tired since her sleep schedule got a little messed up, but other than that she was fine," Castle said.

"The trick is to sense where you're going first," Skye replied. "And it's why we did walkthroughs on the island in Mexico City and at Manresa Castle; you didn't ask where we'd gone."

"They went back?" May asked.

"They did and took us and luckily we got them a lot of evidence," Skye said with a smile. "And now it's time for the rest of the vacation."

"Where are you going after this?" Luke said.

"Monterey of course is first on the list," Skye said.

"Did we change our minds about going to the Winchester House?" Brad asked. "I really wanted to see it."

"No, we're still going, but it'll be on the way to Monterey," Castle assured his friend.

"Are you sure you should?" May said with a slight frown.

"It is, the Winchester isn't as negative as you might think," Skye said.

"The spirits there are the ones that were killed by the guns, aren't they?" Luke said.

"They are, but it's why I've always stood outside the house before the tour," Skye began. She paused and then told them, "The front of the house I should say, where the fountain is. But I go there, talk to the spirits and Mrs. Winchester and that usually gives me the chance to go around without any problems."

"Usually," Beckett stated.

"Usually because there was one trip when a former maid tried to follow me out," Skye said. "But it wasn't negative in the end, I just had to make sure she stayed."

"Why not help her pass on?" Rebecca asked.

"She didn't want to," Mary said before her wife could.

"She didn't, but she became a little too attached so…" Skye started to say before she made a brief gesture with her hand. She looked around and then stated, "I get the feeling someone's going to request a song and if they are let me get my guitar."

"You don't need it for this one," Brad said. He laughed when he saw his wife was looking at him in surprise, then everyone else around the table. "I suddenly thought of it, you'll know it, Rick."

Hesitating for a moment Castle said, "Am I going to want my wife to hear about this?"

"AIFF," Brad said.

Turning to her husband when he was laughing in reaction to that Beckett said, "I guess you do know it."

"I do, it's the R.E.M. song-" Castle started to say before Skye was interrupting him.

"It's the End of the World as We Know It," the investigator said. "Believe it or not we're considering covering that one for our album next year."

"You're going to release an album?" May said.

"That's the plan, the problem is we're still getting songs and permission for the covers," Mary answered.

"So this will be practice," Brad said.

"The singing part, yes," Skye said.

"Wait, why is this song something you two know just by those letters?" David said swiftly.

"It was in our first year of college," Castle said, shaking his head. "We were singing it as loud as we could and the RA for the floor was called and… yeah, we got a warning for that."

"How late were you singing?" Beckett asked her husband wryly.

"Oh, one in the morning," Brad answered when his friend had given him a look. "And afterwards we said those four letters to each other when we were teasing about doing something, to tell the other we'd get a warning but… not really."

"I'm not surprised," Skye said with a laugh while the others around the table were doing so. "But you'll sing with me, right?"

"Pass, I'd rather hear you sing it," Brad replied.

"He's right, how fast can you sing?" Castle asked.

"Surprisingly fast," Skye said, looking at her wife when she was getting her phone ready. "With me?" she asked once Mary was looking up at her.

"If I'm going to be on the recording…" the doctor replied with a smile. When her wife nodded, Mary played the song before they were singing the first verse together since her wife wanted to attempt to make it a duet.

That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Bird and snakes, an aeroplane
Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs
Speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no, strength
The ladder starts to clatter with fear of height, down, height
Wire in a fire, representing seven games
And a government for hire and a combat site
Left of west and coming a hurry
With the Furies breathing down your neck
Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine, then
Uh oh, overflow, population, common food
But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed
Tell me with the Rapture and the reverent in the right, right
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched

"Wait, we have to stop," Skye said, she and Mary doing so and laughing.

"When you record, you'll be taking breaks I hope," Darnley told them.

"We're going to have to," Skye said.

"We always have the same problem," Mary added. "Luckily you can stop in the recording studio," looking at her wife when she began to speak.

"We'll have too, that always makes us mess up," Skye said.

"Why don't you try to slow down a little?" Lily suggested. "You don't have to that much but enough that it still sounds fast."

"We were thinking of trying that," Skye said, nodding. She then glanced at her wife and asked, "Not now?"

"We can wait," Mary replied, smiling.

"Does anyone want more cookies?" May said then.

"How're you going to explain to your kids when they're gone?" Darnley couldn't help asking.

"They know we'd go back," Luke commented before his wife could answer. He then said, "May was saying you guys have done this before. A big vacation."

"We have," Castle said, not surprised when the others were looking at him to answer that. "Last summer it was Spain."

"And next summer?" May asked.

"We haven't decided that yet," Beckett replied. "Though I'm sure Rick will start thinking about that soon."

"She's not lying," Castle said before he was laughing with the others. When they'd calmed down, he said, "I'll probably look at options once we're back home in the fall."

"Did you guys want to go?" Beckett asked her friend.

"No, we're going to do a really special cruise," Luke answered, taking his wife's hand on the top of the table.

"How special?" Castle asked, not surprised when his wife was squeezing his arm.

"We're going to start sailing at the end of May, they'll finish the school year on the ship," May said. "We'll sail to Asia; we're going to stop in India and hopefully get there before the monsoon season starts."

"From there to the Middle East and we'll finish in Europe at the beginning of August," Luke took up.

"Nice," Brad said. "We're planning on going on a cruise for Spring Break next year. Unless that was a surprise."

"It isn't, a Disney cruise to the Caribbean," Beckett said.

"Nice, we're going to Tahoe," May replied.

"Your favorite trip," Beckett told her friend with a smile.

"One of them," May corrected.

"Is there any snow there?" David inquired.

"No, but the lake is wide open," Luke answered. He smiled and then said, "And hiking too, the girls love getting pictures."

"George?" Beckett asked.

"He's not into photography," May replied. "He does love bike riding though."

"And something else," Luke said with a smile at his wife.

"Fencing, he's gotten into fencing," May said.

"Nice," Castle commented.

"Don't even say it," Brad told his friend.

"Oh, come on," Castle replied before his friend was groaning and speaking swiftly to his surprise.

"He knows how to fence, and I think the mention of college reminded him of the way he was able to beat me," Brad explained. "I never took to fencing though which is why."

"He isn't bad," Beckett told her friend and Luke. "I've seen him and Alexis fence."

"Recently?" May asked.

"No, actually it's been a while," Castle said. "But that's going to happen when she works now, and she has a job too."

"And twins," May said. "I can't believe it."

"I can't either sometimes," Beckett replied. "But we're looking forward to meeting our grandchildren."

"So…" Luke started to say, speaking slowly. "You're accepting them as yours."

"Mmm-hmm," Beckett said, gently squeezing her husband's hand to keep him from commenting first. "I adopted Alexis, so they'll be our grandchildren."

"Your first of many," Skye said teasingly.

Laughing with everyone, Castle said, "Don't push the rest of the girls to marriage yet. It's not legal."

"Which is why I joke," Skye replied easily.

"They don't have any names yet, do they?" May then inquired.

"Not yet," Beckett said, smiling since she wasn't surprised at the question.

"What about suggestions? Patrick is a nice name; Irish too," Darnley said with a slight smirk. He laughed when Beckett rolled her eyes and said, "I told you it was a suggestion."

Not surprised when they were starting to talk about how they had chosen their kids' names, Skye and Mary commenting though they hadn't done so themselves, Castle took his wife's hand and entwined their fingers. He stroked the back of her hand, not surprised she didn't make him stop while they continued to discuss their children's births.

"You're all done?" Castle asked his wife while he leaned against the side of the doorway in the bathroom.

"I am," Beckett replied with a smile as she was glancing at her husband. "Why are you rushing me?"

"I'm not," Castle said. "But I did want to spend a little time with you and that view."

Beckett couldn't help laughing while she allowed her husband to lead her to the bedroom. It was later in the night and though the sun had been down for nearly an hour by then she could see the lights on the Golden Gate Bridge. "I can see why you wanted to come here," she told him.

"I would say let's go outside but it's a little cool," Castle replied, pulling her closer to the glass. He had her stand in front of him and he wrapped his arms around her, holding her close to him to tell her, "I'm glad we got to do this."

"To relax?" Beckett asked him with a smile.

"Exactly," Castle replied, kissing the side of her head. He was a little surprised when she turned to him and he wrapped his arms around her while she was doing so around his neck and said, "You're going to risk that?"

Giving him a look, Beckett then said, "Not that," not surprised when he was responding immediately.

"Then I take that back," Castle said. He smiled when his wife rolled her eyes and leaned down to her, gently brushing his lips to hers before he said, "This is fine right?"

"Yes," Beckett said laughingly. She then shared another kiss with him before they were slowly parting and she told him, "It's too bad we couldn't go outside."

"Do you want to try?" Castle asked her. When she nodded, he breathed out for a moment and said, "Okay, but if it's too much we're coming… wait, why do I sound like my mother? Come on."

Beckett couldn't hold back the laughter at her husband's tone of voice, and she said, "I'm glad you decided."

"It's very hard to say no to you love," Castle replied.

"Is that a problem?" Beckett said.

"No," Castle said before he opened the door, and nearly lost it to the wind.

"That decides it," Beckett commented while she was watching him close it with a slight struggle. After he'd locked it, she said, "Now what should we do?"

"There's a chair," Castle said quickly.

"You noticed already?" Beckett asked with a smile when he went to get it.

"Hard not to, but where are you going to sit?" Castle told her. He wasn't surprised when she gave him a look and he sat down swiftly before she was joining him while she spoke at the same time.

"I can tell you know," Beckett said.

"Tell what?" Castle replied immediately.

"You want to talk about Alcatraz," Beckett said.

"I'm not surprised you could tell," Castle said. He scratched his cheek and said, "Are you sure?"

"I am, I'm not sure what exactly is going to happen," Beckett said. "But like I told Skye I'm not going to let the girls go without us."

"Then you'll stay near Skye?" Castle asked.

"Shouldn't I stay with the girls?" Beckett replied. She wasn't surprised when her husband hesitated and she told him, "I'll do my best to keep us close to Skye. Though I'm hoping you'll stick with us too."

"I figured I should," Castle said easily. He then said, "And we're making a promise right now to stay with everyone right?"

Smiling, Beckett reminded him, "We're not working on a case."

"Good point," Castle said. "But we should."

"What do you want to do?" Beckett asked him, glancing at him. "Pinkie swear?"

"No," Castle said, shaking his head. "Since you're serious."

"Believe me, I don't want to spend another night on the island again," Beckett said firmly. She then leaned against him, and she told him, "We're set."

"We are," Castle assured her before he pressed a kiss to her forehead. When she turned to him, he brought her to him, and they were kissing gently at first before he wrapped his arms around her tighter. While their tongues met in her mouth, he couldn't help himself, running his hands up and down her back under her shirt.

Shivering lightly Beckett ended the kiss inadvertently and said, "Rick," simply.

"Yeah," Castle replied, moving his hands. "Hard not to you realize," he then told her, though he'd waited to speak since he wanted to calm down.

Leaning down to her husband, Beckett brushed her lips against his and said, "I realize but we said we weren't going to do anything here."

Castle studied her for a moment before he drew her to him and kissed her gently, relieved when she responded though they were parting shortly after. "I want to though," he confessed to her, not surprised when she brushed her lips to his.

"I would too if everyone in the family and most of the kids weren't on the next floor," Beckett told him. She smiled when he huffed a little and she said, "Sorry love, maybe tomorrow."

"I thought the same," Castle replied before their lips were brushing against each other again.

When they parted, Beckett carefully got off of his lap and told him, "Do you think they'll be okay with Josie?"

"Yeah, we told them to take her to the sea lions first thing," Castle replied, not surprised at her change of subject. He walked up to her and said, "And the carousel too. I'm going to say that one will do it for her."

Laughing softly Beckett replied, "I'm not surprised, but as long as she's distracted enough not to be a problem then I don't care where they take her."

Frowning for a moment, Castle looked at her and said, "Did you tell them not to get her any sweets?"

"I told my dad," Beckett replied. "I'll mention it to your mom… beg them both not to in the end because we're going to have those cream puffs." She paused and then said, "You are so lucky you called me that jokingly."

"I just remembered too," Castle said laughingly, not surprised the mention of the dessert made them think of when she'd made them in the late forties. He'd called her later that night his 'cream puff' and he said, "But I made it up to you."

"With a bath," Beckett told him, holding up her finger to him.

"Very true," Castle said, nodding. He smiled when she laughed, and he reached for her before they were embracing. "Please don't ask me to tell you the story," he eventually said.

Laughing softly, Beckett said, "Don't worry, you related enough when you told us." She became thoughtful for a moment and pulled back enough to look at him asking, "How many times did you two get a warning after the first?"

"None," Castle replied. He paused and smiled for a moment when she looked startled and he told her, "I know, but seriously they only had one warning and then you had to try and find another dorm or your own place."

Nodding Beckett told him, "I'm not surprised." They were looking at each other then, and she couldn't help biting her lower lip before she told him, "We could do something."

"Really?" Castle asked.

"Yeah," Beckett said, not surprised he was. She squeezed her arms around him a little tighter and told him, "On the bed," before she was moving to murmur to him. When she leaned back again, she wasn't surprised to see his eyes already nearly black with desire and she was about to tell him she was serious when he spoke first.

"If you think we can do that…" Castle began, watching her when she reached up to cup his face with her hands. She didn't need to move him, he was leaning down to her, and they were kissing lightly before he told her, "Then we should start."

Smiling, Beckett nodded and followed her husband to the bed before he turned to her. "Second doubts?" she asked him with a smile.

"No, how are we not going to be able to move that much?" Castle said.

"If we use the position I thought of I think we'll be okay," Beckett replied easily. She watched the expressions go over her husband's face and told him, "If you're not sure…"

"Oh, don't worry," Castle said in a rush. "I do I just hope it works," he told her.

Letting go of his hand, Beckett was reaching for the bottom of her NYPD shirt and pulled it off, not surprised her husband was doing the same with his plain grey shirt. "Hold on," she told him, reaching out and placing her hands on his chest.

Shuddering in pleasure at her touch Castle said, "You said we couldn't take our time."

"No," Beckett replied. "But…" she began, trailing off again while she was reaching for the hips of his pajama pants. She was careful pulling them down, letting him take over until she was doing the same with his boxers. She was gentle removing those, watching his erection appreciatively and gently rubbing her finger along the tip of it. With her husband staring at her she sucked the moisture off her skin and then told him, "Sit."

"No," Castle said roughly, grabbing her by her hips. He gently pulled off her pants before he let her remove them. He then grabbed her, picking her up so he could lay her on the bed before they were working together to get her panties off. He tossed them to the floor, not looking since his wife was pulling him to her for a kiss. He laid on his side as soon as he could, and they were holding onto one another tightly while they moved their bodies gently against each other's. "Do you think we… might have an addiction?" he asked her after they had stopped kissing.

"We've talked about this before," Beckett told him, trying to keep from moaning too loudly when he began to kiss his way over her neck. "And no… we're lucky," she told him before they were kissing again. She parted her lips to his tongue and when he was gently caressing at hers, she let her hands begin stroking him. She touched wherever she could reach, not surprised when her husband was doing the same to her. Having no clue how long they were doing that, she felt her body was trembling while her husband laid her on her back. "Love-" she started to say in surprise since she'd told him they should stay on their sides and stimulate one another manually.

"I can't Kate," Castle told her seriously, doing his best to ignore the throbbing of his length. "I want to feel you… I need to." He searched her eyes and when she nodded, he said, "I'll be careful."

"So will I," Beckett replied. She wasn't surprised when he was kissing her shortly after and their tongues were tangling around one another while they were rougher with each other. She reached up at the same time she was responding, caressing the back of his head and back, feeling his muscles were tense. Unable to help herself, she reached lower on him, lightly caressing at his ass and feeling him jerking against her in response. Enjoying his groans of pleasure in that, she squeezed at him hard before he eventually pulled back and was whispering against her lips.

"You need to help me love," Castle told his wife roughly. When she nodded, he moved slightly and with his wife helping him he was sliding into her. They were breathing roughly at the sensation since she was prepared for him, and he was pressing his face against her shoulder slightly.

"Rick, your glasses," Beckett told him, the frame pressing into her skin. She wasn't surprised when he immediately moved, kissing her and beginning to thrust. Her hands squeezed on him at the sensation of him just barely moving with that speed and she moaned into his mouth before he was pressing down into her hard. Pulling away from him she was panting heavily, trying her best not to moan out loud though she couldn't help her soft cry of pleasure.

"I know love," Castle told her, whispering into her ear. He moved to lightly flick his tongue out to the lobe before he was kissing her again.

Doing that for the rest of their bout, Castle and Beckett had no real way of knowing how long they'd been working together to bring themselves to their orgasms. But they eventually where there, groaning loudly into each other's mouths when they reached their end, nearly at the same time. After they were finished, they lay in silence for a while, panting and their bodies still shaking in remembrance of their ecstasy.

"Are you there love?" Beckett asked her husband with a smile, gently caressing at his hair.

"Yeah," Castle said, moving to withdraw from her. He watched her squeeze her legs together once he had pulled away and told her, "We couldn't…" before she was shaking her head and smiling.

"I wish, but we need to get up early," Beckett said. She couldn't help laughing when her husband was groaning in annoyance, and she turned to him after he was laying on his back. Gently kissing at his cheek, she told him, "I know love, but we have way too much tomorrow."

"Then can I make sure you're alright tomorrow night?" Castle asked.

"Yes," Beckett said firmly. She wasn't surprised when her husband looked down at her in surprise and told him, "I'm aware already of what that'll entail."

"And no objections," Castle stated. When his wife merely looked at him, he couldn't help himself and he moved to kiss her deeply though he ended up laying her on her back. They were dueling together eagerly for some time before his wife was ending it and pulling away from him gently.

"We're going to get out of control," Beckett informed him. She wasn't surprised when he frowned and she smiled, brushing her lips against his and telling him, "Tomorrow night love."

"You want to pinkie swear on that?" Castle asked before he was letting out a curse when his wife was grasping his erection. "Kate," he told her roughly.

"That's enough of a promise," Beckett replied before she let him go since he was nearly lunging at her. She took his kiss eagerly, feeling her lips throbbing in response until they were moving away from each other at the same time. Panting a little heavily, she reached up to cup his cheek with her hand and said through her swollen lips, "I love you, Rick."

"I love you Kate," Castle said intensely before he kissed her. He kept that brief before he was running his hand down her side, feeling her arching her back slightly. "Please love," he told her.

"One more," Beckett said, realizing she couldn't resist him, especially after holding his desire for her in her hand. She was a little startled when he flipped her around and she wrapped her arms around his neck while she allowed him to hold himself. Lowering her body on him while she straddled him, she shared a kiss with him until their hips were pressed together again.

"Goddess," Castle told his wife huskily, leaning down and brushing his lips to her breasts.

"Sheik," Beckett couldn't help moaning while he suckled lovingly at her. When he was looking up at her again, she leaned down, and they began to kiss at the same time she began to move.

Holding onto each other tightly, Castle and Beckett were making love leisurely, relishing the sensations and forgetting everything but themselves on that bed and pleasuring each other for as long as they could.
