"Do we really need to walk?" Marie asked.
Julia was about to tell her she didn't want to, but before she could say anything they were turning at the sound of a phone ringing.
"Sorry," Skye said to everyone while she rushed to answer her phone.
"Is everything alright?" Bethany asked Mary after they'd watched the investigator leave them.
"I don't know, I didn't see who was calling," the doctor replied. She then said to the others, "I'm sure she'll let us know if anything happened."
"I haven't heard of anything happening your mum might need to help with," Nkosi said, not surprised when the McDouglas girls were turning to him. "Though they don't always call me."
"She won't 'ave to go work, will she?" Fleur asked.
"They know she's on vacation," Mary assured her.
"She would only help over the phone," Liam told his granddaughters.
"She doesn't have to," Skye said, walking back to them.
"No?" Mary asked her wife. Seeing the way the investigator was smiling she said, "It was good news?"
"Great news actually," Skye replied. "That was the contractor, they're going to finish up the last of the addition by the time we get home."
"Did you tell them what day that would be?" Castle asked her.
"I did, they said they should have everything painted and dried on the outside of the house by then," Skye answered. "That was the last they needed to do," she added to everyone else.
"Does that mean we can see everything?" Eliza asked.
"And use it too," Mary said.
"What about what you did in the end?" Beckett asked her friend.
"That you'll need to wait to see," Skye replied.
"How did you finish though?" Brad couldn't help asking. "Rick and Kate mentioned it wasn't supposed to be finished until the fall."
"We paid a little more for labor," Mary said before her wife could answer. "We were trying to get it done by the time we got to LA."
"And we will," Skye told her wife with a smile. She then looked at the others and said, "You're not going to walk?"
"Not yet," Julia said suddenly. She smiled at Marie and asked, "What about playing before we walk?"
"Alright," Mary said first. "But what song?"
Watching Marie rushing to her mother, Mari said to Julia, "You knew?"
"Of course, they were looking at their mothers," she replied, smiling.
"Well… another one I'm not using the guitar," Skye said laughing.
"What's the song Mummy?" Ivy asked, hurrying over to her.
"I Want It All," Skye said.
"And you're that happy about it?" David said in surprise.
"Because I have to sing with her," Mary said. "Now?" she then directed to her wife since she'd been getting her phone ready. At Skye's nod she started the song, glancing around them and not surprised there were some looks before she was singing with her wife and hoping they wouldn't get too much attention.
I want it all (Hey, yeah), I want it all
I want it all, and I want it now
Adventure seeker on an empty street
Just an alley creeper light on his feet
A young fighter screaming
With no time for doubt
With the pain and anger
Can't see a way out
"It ain't much I'm asking"
I heard him say
Got to find me a future
Move out of my way"
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, and I want it now
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, and I want it now
Listen, all you people, come gather 'round
I gotta get me a game plan
Gotta shake you to the ground
Just give me what I know is mine
People, do you hear me?
Just give me the sign
It ain't much I'm asking
If you want the truth
Here's to the future
For the dreams of youth
I want it all, I want it all
(Give it all, I want it all)
I want it all, and I want it now (Hey)
I want it all, I want it all
(Yes, I want it all, hey)
I want it all, and I want it now
I'm a man with a one-track mind
So much to do in one lifetime
(People, do you hear me?)
Not a man for compromise
And where's and why's and living lies
So I'm living it all (Yes I'm living it all)
And I'm giving it all
(And I'm giving it all, ooh, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(I want it all)
At the instrumental there, Beckett wasn't surprised when Skye pulled her wife to her for a brief kiss, and she smiled at the pair before her husband's arm wrapped around her waist. She glanced at him, not surprised when he squeezed her gently before they turned back to Skye and Mary when they finished the song.
It ain't much I'm asking
If you want the truth
Here's to the future
Hear the cry of youth
(Hear the cry, hear the cry of youth)
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, and I want it now
I want it all, I want it all
(Hey, yeah, yeah)
I want it all, and I want it now
(Ooh, ooh) I want it now
I want it, I want it!
Oooh, huh!
"So you enjoyed it right?" Julia asked the man standing next to her on the balcony hers and Mari's room had.
Of course, they were sufficiently enthusiastic, Freddie told her firmly.
Unable to help giggling, Julia said, "I'll tell Skye tomorrow. Mary too."
No need, I already did, the singer replied.
Julia watched him turn and said, "What's wrong?"
I'm afraid I'll have to go darling but I'm glad you allowed me to join you, Freddie said.
"Mari wouldn't… mind…" Julia started to say before she trailed off. Sighing she said, "It would be too much for her." She wasn't surprised when the singer nodded and she told him, "Let me know when you want to talk again." She told him goodnight before he disappeared, and she turned back to the room hearing her friend calling to her.
"Were you talking?" Mari asked, walking up to her.
"Freddie was here," Julia said before she saw her friend was shivering. "Sorry about that."
"Don't worry," Mari said swiftly. "I had a feeling he was there today."
Julia smiled and then stepped into the room, closing the balcony doors behind her before she said, "He wanted to see."
"I'm not surprised, that was a great aquarium," Mari said. "But you know what I really want to see?" she asked her friend while she was putting away her things.
"What they put besides the pool room?" Julia asked with a smile.
"Exactly," Mari said, giggling before they were getting up on their bed.
"I bet you they put a studio," Julia said after she got her glass of water from her nightstand.
"I think so too," Mari said. "Though-"
"It's my mom," Julia said swiftly, reaching for her phone. She answered the call and said, "Hi."
"Hello sweetie," Beckett replied. "I just called to let you know you're going to have some guests soon."
"Guests?" Julia asked, looking at Mari when her friend frowned.
"Yes, I got calls from some of the other parents," Beckett answered.
"We're going to have a sleepover?" Julia asked.
"If you two want to," Beckett said.
"Of course!" Julia said eagerly.
"They'll be there in a second," Beckett replied.
"Thanks," Julia replied, smiling when Mari joined her before her mother was talking to them both.
"You're welcome, but you need to get to sleep at your normal time," Beckett said.
"We couldn't stay up a little more?" Julia asked.
"I knew you were going to ask," Beckett said.
"Ten minutes," Castle said.
Julia couldn't help laughing softly, since she could imagine her mother giving her father a look, and said quickly, "Ten would be fine."
"Alright, but if you guys are tired tomorrow-" Beckett started to say.
"We won't be," Mari said. "We can put an alarm on one of our phones to remind us."
"Good idea," Castle said.
Turning to the door at the knock on it, Julia said, "I think that's our guests, thanks again Mom, Dad. We'll see you tomorrow, night." After her parents had told her goodnight she went to the door first and looked out, surprised to see Skye there. "Did you bring the air mattress?" she asked the investigator once she had opened the door.
"And everyone else coming over," Skye said with a smile. "Go inside," she said to the three with her. Following them inside she smiled as her two oldest and Eve were putting their things away and she said, "I'll get the mattress ready."
"You're sleeping on the couch?" Julia asked Eve.
"Yeah, I asked Skye about moving it in here," the young woman said before the investigator was replying to them all looking at her.
"I think you can, though you'll have to remove the desk," Skye said in amusement.
"We'll help Mum," Marie said immediately.
"We'll try," Skye said firmly. "Since I don't think I can move everything by myself." After she had the mattress ready, she went over to the desk and looked at the phone and lamp on top of it before she moved the phone to a nearby armchair and unplugged the lamp. "Okay, someone help me with this."
"I will," Eve said.
"Do we all need to help you with the couch?" Mari asked.
"Yes, once the desk is set," Skye said quickly before she and Eve carried it to the small living room the suite had. After they had set it against a free space one of the walls had, she told the girls, "We're going to try lifting it and if it's too heavy-"
"I'll sleep on the desk we put back in the room," Eve interrupted.
"And have your parents furious at me?" Skye asked with a smile.
"Sure," Eve said jokingly.
"We'll figure something out," Skye said laughingly before they were moving to gather around the couch. She was standing with Julia and Mari and after she counted to three, she was surprised when they were able to get it up though they just got it past the bedroom doorway. "A quick rest," she told them.
"We couldn't leave it here?" Kathleen asked.
"No, you need a clear way to the door out to the hall," Skye said firmly.
"I'm ready," Eve said before she was helping her friends and the investigator carry the couch. She was relieved they managed to get it the little distance there was from the doorway and said, "Great, I'll make my bed while we're talking."
"You two are alright?" Skye asked her daughters. When the twins nodded, she turned to the other three before Julia was speaking first.
"We're fine," the teen said. "Now we'll rest."
"Perfect make sure you lock the door behind me," Skye said, leading them to the living room. She pulled her daughters to her for a brief hug and said, "Go to bed when it's time."
"We will," Marie and Kathleen said at the same time before they realized their mother was looking at the other three.
"So will we, I'll make sure," Eve promised.
"Perfect," Skye said with a nod.
After they'd said goodnight to the investigator, Julia locked the door while her friends were talking and she turned to them. "We better get Eve's bed ready," she told them when they stopped and looked at her.
"I told you I was going to do it," the young woman commented.
"But someone needs to get you your stuff," Julia said firmly.
"Okay," Eve said before they were laughing together and heading into the bedroom. She waited for Julia to grab some sheets and a pillow before she got them set on the couch. "You guys waiting for me?" she asked before she walked to the bed where they were sitting.
"Of course." "We knew it wasn't going to take that long," Kathleen and then Marie said before they turned to Julia while she was laughing before she spoke.
"To be honest we don't know what to talk about," the teen said.
"No?" Eve asked. "How about here."
"We've been here a couple times, but we were really young," Marie said since the young woman was looking at her and her twin.
"We don't really remember the aquarium, Mum and Mom took us there first," Kathleen added.
"Did you guys feel like it was familiar there?" Marie asked Julia and Mari.
"It's not that old," the former said quickly. "I asked my dad and he said it was opened in 1984."
"Oh… what about the city?" Eve asked.
"I think we drove through it," Julia said after Mari looked at her pointedly. "And I'm talking about my family. I think we… came here."
"Why are you talking like that?" Kathleen asked with a frown.
"I don't know why," Julia said. "But I get the feeling we came here for some reason, though I bet it's because of the military stuff we did."
"Probably," Mari said. She shrugged when her friend was looking at her in surprise before their friends were exchanging confused looks.
"It's hard to remember a lot," Julia reminded them. "We have a ton of gaps."
"Us too," Marie said.
"I do but I think it's because I don't think about it as much as you do," Eve said slowly to the looks from her friends.
"What about Peter?" Julia asked.
"You know I am remembering him," Eve said before she hesitated.
"We already know," Mari said. "He was Japanese in our past life."
"And you two are so lucky that no one really said anything," Marie said.
"I think it's because of where we were living," Kathleen said.
"Have you talked to Peter about that?" Julia asked.
"We did, he can't remember that much but he said we were dating," Eve said. "Which yes, I remember too."
"No specifics?" Marie asked when the young woman was quiet.
"You know that word?" Eve asked.
"Yes," Marie said in mock annoyance.
"There isn't anything specific," Eve said firmly though she wasn't surprised when they were protesting. "I'm serious, I just remember us walking around Sausalito. I think a soda shop and sharing a milkshake," she then said before Julia was speaking with a wide smile.
"And kissing," the teen said.
Giving a heavy sigh, though she was fighting her smile, Eve said, "Yes but I didn't want to share that with you." When she saw the looks the four were giving her, she gave a mock exasperated sigh and said, "I won't tell you anymore about what that's like!"
"You don't have to tell her," Kathleen said, nodding to her sister.
Giving her twin a look while the other three exclaimed, Marie confessed, "I have kissed Florrie… I mean we've kissed," blushing at the end.
"A peck on the lips?" Mari asked.
"Yeah, I don't think we can do anything more," Marie said, smiling.
"But it was nice?" Julia asked.
"It was," Marie replied.
"Which of you started it?" Eve asked.
"I did," Marie said. She bit the side of her mouth for a moment and then said, "We were playing outside with the others before dinner, and we were called in… we stayed a little behind and I stopped her. I couldn't help it she was so beautiful," sighing deeply before she laid back on the bed.
"Have you done it more than once?" Mari asked. She looked at the others when Marie only nodded before she said, "I guess that's it for that subject," smiling at her friend laughing before Julia was talking once they'd calmed down.
"We're just curious since we haven't done that ourselves," she was explaining.
"I'm not surprised," Marie said with a nod. She then smiled and said, "But we have, not a lot since Mum and Mom could tell we'd done it the first time."
"I think they saw you," Kathleen told her twin.
Rolling her eyes Marie said, "Anyway, there's something else we can talk about, right?"
"We should change the subject," Kathleen said with a smile. "She hates it when we tease her about Florrie."
"You do that a lot?" Eve asked.
"Luckily not that much," Marie said before her twin could respond. "And Mum and Mom make sure they don't either."
"Does Jake tease you that much?" Kathleen asked Eve.
"Not really, I think he's gotten tired of it," the young woman replied. Eve then smiled at the three not dating and said, "Your siblings are going to tease you when you start dating."
"Of course they are," Julia said. She then said, "Well… Josa might not, if she's still young." She looked at her friend and asked, "What about Dani?"
"It depends on when I start to date," Mari said before she frowned at the way Eve and Marie were smirking at each other. "What're you guys doing?"
"Should we tease them now?" Eve asked.
"No, let's change the subject for real now," Kathleen said in mock anger.
Julia laughed with her friends before she was getting her phone, setting the alarm to remind them to go to bed before she turned it off and turned her attention back to the others so they could continue their conversation for as long as they could.
"Do you think she'll remember to put that alarm?" Castle asked his wife.
"She needs to," Beckett said simply. She then smiled at him and said, "What do you want to do?"
"Are you sure you want to ask me?" Castle replied with his own question.
"Yes, it is early remember," Beckett said.
"Would you like some tea or coffee?" Castle asked her after hesitating for a moment. "Or just go to bed?"
"I'll take some coffee," Beckett answered, watching him tense for a moment. She stood up and said, "You don't want to," not surprised when he was speaking swiftly in response.
"I wasn't expecting you to," Castle explained.
"We're not leaving extremely early," Beckett reminded him.
"Should I tell you I didn't plan renting the boat at that time?" Castle asked.
"Don't worry," Beckett said, squeezing his arm gently in passing. "I'd like to have it on the balcony," she told him once she had walked by.
"I'll be there," Castle said, smiling at her. He watched her stepping outside before he turned his attention to the brewing machine, racing to make two mugs for them.
Though she had known it was going to take time, Beckett couldn't help feeling a little impatient until her husband was walking outside and joining her. "I should have stayed with you," she told him with a smile, taking one of the mugs he held out to her.
"It's alright, I went as fast as I could," Castle replied, sitting in the chair next to her. He looked out at their view of the bay and said, "I wonder if I could say something about Adare right now."
"It depends on what that is," Beckett said easily as she was smiling at him.
"Don't worry," Castle told her. "It's safe for work."
Laughing briefly, Beckett told him, "Then what is it?"
"We talked about getting the twins some gifts," Castle began. At his wife's nod he then told her, "I'm wondering if we should get something else."
"A piece of the Blarney Stone? I thought that was a given," Beckett said simply. She couldn't help smiling at her husband's surprise and she told him, "I had a feeling you'd want to get them that. But I would talk to Louis first."
"True," Castle said with a brief nod. He sipped at his coffee for a moment and then said, "Should I have gotten scuba gear instead?"
"No, Skye and Mary have never dived here," Beckett reminded him. "And I want them to have experience so some of us know the area. And if you're going to mention St. Croix, I'll remind you the water was clear."
"But in San Diego-" Castle started to say.
"We'll go," Beckett interrupted him, speaking firmly.
"Okay," Castle said. He saw her rolling her eyes while she smiled before he said, "I have no idea if anyone is out on the balconies around us."
"Neither do I," Beckett said. "Why don't we just sit until we're finished."
"I'm glad I didn't make that much," Castle said before he was taking another sip.
After they had finished, having been keeping an eye on her husband, Beckett stood up first and took his mug before she went into their suite. After she had put them next to the small sink by the brewer, she paused in feeling arms wrapping around her.
"I really hope you'll let me know what we're doing right now," Castle said seriously while he pressed his cheek to the side of her head.
Turning around, Beckett wrapped her arms around him before pulling him to her for a kiss. She was surprised he made it gentle but didn't mind and responded to him until they were slowly pulling away from each other at the same time. "Do I have to," she stated instead of asking. She did her best not to smile at the way he abruptly looked confused and just managed it before he was replying.
"Is that a hint for me?" Castle asked her. When his wife nodded, he said, "Not very subtle."
"No," Beckett said simply. She gasped briefly when her husband was grasping her, pulling her tightly to him. Since she had been startled it took her a moment to respond but was doing so as soon as she recovered. She had parted her lips to his tongue in her surprise at his abruptness and was dueling with it when he began. Feeling her arousal rising at the sensation of her husband holding her and caressing her tongue, she ended the kiss carefully before telling him, "You… we're in the wrong room," she told him to try and distract herself a little.
"You're right," Castle said simply before he was picking her up to her cry of surprise. He was smiling shortly after, since his wife was laughing, and he kissed her cheek before he carried her into the bedroom. Setting her down just past the doorway he asked her, to her expression of confusion, "Were you serious about me deciding tonight."
Raising herself up enough to brush her lips against his Beckett told him, "I was," before he was crushing his lips to hers. She wasn't surprised and managed to kiss him back only a second after he'd begun before they were clinging to each other tightly. When he was pulling away after they'd been involved in that for a while she murmured with a smile on her swollen lips, "You have something in mind already."
"Of course," Castle said. He was gently rubbing her back and said, "I just hope it's enough for you," not surprised when she was giving him a look.
"I don't think you need to worry," Beckett said wryly before she was gasping when her husband picked her up. She laughed a second later when he playfully threw her on the bed and told him, "Don't tell me that was it," relieved when he was responding shortly after.
"No," Castle replied before he was getting on the mattress with her. Since she was sitting up it didn't take him long to reach her and he was kissing Beckett as deeply as he could. When they eventually parted, he reached for the skirt of her sundress and pushed it up as far as he could until she was stopping him.
"I want to demand something from you," Beckett said when her husband was looking at her.
"Okay," Castle said swiftly. He wasn't surprised when his wife was smiling and leaning into him before they were kissing tenderly. Looking into her eyes again he told her, "Are you-" before he stopped himself when she was reaching for his shirt. "I see," he said when she was leaning back on her hands. He gazed at her for a moment, taking in the fact she hadn't pulled her skirt back down and he couldn't resist, leaning into her for another kiss. After they'd pulled away at the same time he told her, "Help me."
Biting her lower lip at the fact that that was a statement and not a question, Beckett reached for his shirt and began to unbutton it before she paused and glanced up at him. "Help you or do it for you?" she asked him.
"Believe me, I meant the first," Castle said firmly before he watched her finishing.
Reaching out to him while her husband was taking off his shirt, Beckett gently ran her hand down his chest. Feeling him shuddering in response she smiled and said, "I thought you'd want to be a little faster."
"Not when you do that," Castle managed to say. Since she had stopped touching him, he was quickly finishing removing his shirt, tossing it to the floor before he cupped her face with his hands and kissing her. He was pleased when she responded to him immediately and they were tangling their tongues around each other roughly. Moving his hands up on her back, he felt until he was at her shoulders, and he was tugging down the straps on her before she pulled back with a gasp and spoke swiftly in her surprise.
"You could just tell me," Beckett said, fixing her straps before she moved onto her knees while he was moving out of the way.
"I couldn't help myself," Castle replied.
"Pervert," Beckett said simply. When he frowned at her a little, she said firmly, "Finish love."
Doing his best not to exhale too hard, Castle moved to slide off the bed and he was hurrying to open his pants before he looked at her. Since she'd sat on the edge of the bed in front of him, he stopped and let her take over while he was gently running his fingers through her hair.
"I didn't realize," Beckett said with a smile as she continued in removing his pants and boxers at the same time. "That position could be very erotic."
"You're a liar," Castle said firmly though he was moving to take the last of his clothing off. "You're…" he started to say before his wife was taking his erection into her mouth. When she only slid her mouth back on him, he was nearly breathing out in relief before her tongue was suddenly lapping at the tip of him. "Kate," he groaned in joy at the sensation.
Though she'd only intended to do that for a short amount of time, Beckett couldn't resist and lingered a little more. When she had pulled away, she gently let go of her husband's length and stood up to wrap her arms around him before he was stopping her.
"I don't want to ruin this," Castle said while he was pulling on the skirt of her sundress. After it was over her head he said in a near growl, "You're a goddess."
"You didn't think I'd be ready for you?" Beckett asked, since she'd taken off everything under her dress once they'd reached their suite. She wasn't surprised when her husband was wrapping his arms around her carefully, pulling her tightly to him and making them both groan at the sensation of their bodies rubbing together. "Rick," she breathed while he was lowering his head to her breasts.
Kissing at her mounds tenderly, Castle moved a little lower to begin suckling at her nipples, going quickly between them before he reached for her to pick her up. Laying her on the bed he told her, "Was that all you wanted?"
"No," Beckett said firmly. She reached out to him while he was getting on with her and grasped him lightly saying, "You."
Cursing briefly in Irish when she rubbed her thumb around the tip of him, Castle watched her suck off the fluid she'd taken with her and told her, "You're a vixen."
"Which is it?" Beckett said, smirking at him. She was letting out a gasp when her husband forced her onto her back before he was kissing her fervently. Responding to him she tried to hold him before he was taking her hands and gently pressing them to either side of her head. "What're you doing?" she asked him.
"Let me have a chance," Castle said simply, relieved when she was nodding to him. He moved then, kissing at her neck and lightly nipping her pulse before he reached her breasts and gently suckled at her again before he pulled away as she spoke, her voice distorted with her pleasure.
"Don't take that much time… please," Beckett said, breathing roughly since he was pulling away from her and moving down her stomach, trailing his lips over her skin.
Though he wanted to assure her, Castle was too focused on reaching his goal which he did soon after, at her sex. He pulled away for a moment before he was leaning into her and kissing at her folds. Once he had done that for a little, he then pushed himself above her and they kissed sensuously before they were slowly parting. When they were looking at each other again he murmured against her lips, "You want me."
Since she'd already wrapped her arms around her husband's shoulders, Beckett told him, "If you don't get inside of me right now I'm getting ready for bed." When his response was to kiss her, she moved to wrap her legs around him though she didn't hold them tight. While they were still kissing, she could feel him shifting above her, and she couldn't help herself, reaching underneath him and caressing him where she could until she was digging her nails in his arm at the tip of his member entering her. "Rick…" she started to say, biting her lower lip because she couldn't continue. Luckily her husband didn't stop to say anything, and instead continued until they were coupled fully. Running her hands over his shoulders gently she murmured to him, "Are you going to fuck me?"
"No," Castle said shortly before he began to thrust. Going carefully at first, he judged her reactions and adjusted the angle of his hips though he was doing his best to not lose himself in the sensation of her at the same time. His wife's arching back and slightly writhing body didn't help fully though he managed to keep his speed calmer than his body wanted. To distract himself he kissed her, doing so deeply when she was responding.
Though she had enjoyed the several she and her husband shared, Beckett was relieved when they stopped kissing to catch their breath. "You're… you're not going to…" she tried to say before she had to stop as he was bowing his head to her breasts. When he suddenly slowed down a bit, she was moaning in pleasure at him sliding gently back and forth without hesitation. She was holding onto his back while he was doing that, relishing the sensation of his muscles before he was kissing her.
Rubbing his tongue against his wife's as hard as he could, Castle was relieved he wasn't hurting her since he could feel he was losing control. He ended their kiss when they needed to breathe and he pressed his forehead against hers, nearly startled to realize he was still going slowly. He sped up a little then, doing his best to control himself though he swiftly realized he was having a hard time.
"Rick," Beckett moaned to get his attention, gasping while he was nibbling at her earlobe. "Will you… do something… for me… after… after-" she tried to say though Castle was kissing her firmly. She was trying to respond to him the best she could until they were gasping for air again and she was going to speak when he did first.
"I will," Castle promised her before he was pulling away and adjusting his hips. When he realized he was getting inside her a little deeper he was trying not to latch onto her shoulder with his teeth since he'd pressed his lips there. Hearing his wife's cry of joy, he was moving up to her and kissing her hard until she was scraping at his back and making him pull away, startled. "Are you close?" he asked her, amazed he'd been able to speak clearly. Seeing the rapid nod of her head he was kissing her lightly and briefly before he told her, "Then come my love, I'll do whatever I can for you after this," he told her, trying not to speak in a rush.
Beckett, though she'd wanted to respond to him, couldn't do it and she felt the tight coil within her nearly exploding, making her arch her back hard while she was crying her husband's name. Though she was so involved in the ecstasy roaring completely through her, she soon became aware of Castle reaching his edge and she was holding him tightly to her. Though she'd been doing her best to move in time with him, it was too difficult to continue, and she was continuing to writhe against him. But once she had calmed down and kept holding onto him, she realized he didn't mind since he was still moving at the steady pace he'd been at before. He gave her a last, hard thrust, though she was able to tell he was trying not to, and she quickly kissed at the side of his head to let him know she had enjoyed that.
Though he needed to recover, Castle raised his head once he was and told her, "Did you want to start now?"
Smiling, Beckett gently raked her fingers through his hair and lightly scraping her nails over his scalp telling him, "We don't have to this second, I would like to lay next to you for a little," watching him swallow a bit harder than usual before he spoke.
"I can't ask what exactly it is you want to do?" Castle asked her. He wasn't surprised when his wife's response was to shake her head and he moved to withdraw from her. He was careful, still regretting leaving her, before he told her, "Eventually you have to tell me."
Smiling, Beckett waited for him to lay on his back before she told him, "I will, but leave when up to me."
"Sure," Castle replied.
Laughing when he was tugging at her hips, Beckett moved to lay against his side and she said, "Though we can't do that much."
"No," Castle said. He wasn't surprised when she nudged his side with her elbow, gently, and he told her, "Is this going to take time? What you want to do?"
"It should," Beckett said simply. Feeling her husband gently caressing her hip she told him, "We don't need that much time."
"No," Castle said.
"What's on your mind?" Beckett asked him, brushing her fingertips to his jaw.
"Tomorrow morning," Castle replied since he knew he wouldn't be able to deflect.
"If we have time," Beckett said, not surprised when he was grabbing her hand and kissing at it firmly. "Rick?" she asked him eventually. When he was quickly letting her go, she told him, "You need to agree to this, not just do it because I said."
"Once you tell me I can say how I feel about it," Castle pointed out to her. She was making him move and he was hurrying to do so before she was running her hands up and down his arms.
"Will you let me watch you pleasure yourself?" Beckett asked him.
"Where am I coming?" Castle asked, not responding immediately at the rush of pleasure that had gone through him at her words.
"On me," Beckett said. "And if you can manage on my breasts, I'd be grateful."
Swallowing a little roughly, Castle took a moment and told her, "I'll try but if you want to help me at the end, I would appreciate it."
Squeezing at his shoulders she was holding onto then, Beckett told him, "I will."
"Are you ready?" Castle asked her.
"Of course," Beckett said before she moved her hands away from him to see if she couldn't prop herself up further. When her husband was moving to place another pillow underneath her, she took the opportunity to curl her hand around his erection. "Do you want lotion or anything?" she asked him.
"No, no," Castle said before he was reaching in between her legs.
"Rick, it's… it's mostly you," Beckett gasped at his touch while he was rubbing there firmly. When he wasn't saying anything, or stopping, she was moaning and forcing herself to stop him before he was speaking to her in obvious annoyance.
"What do you want?" Castle said, trying to calm himself down though it was a struggle.
"Can you use yourself?" Beckett asked. She wasn't surprised when her husband was tensing up immediately and she said, "You can."
"I know," Castle forced himself to say. "But you realize that I need a little- fuck!" he started to say before she was cupping him firmly underneath his length. "Kate-" he began.
"I don't want to take that long," Beckett said seriously before she was gently fondling him. She looked on while he was recovering from that shock and felt her sex throb once in reaction to him using himself to slick himself. Once he was stroking steadily, she moved her hand away though she placed it on his hip since she wanted to keep it close.
"You don't want… to touch me," Castle told her, speaking a little hoarsely.
"Not now," Beckett said simply. She watched him closely, aware he wasn't going to take that long, and she was smiling a little since the muscles in his arm were tense.
Feeling his wife's other hand moving, Castle looked down at her and he managed to ask, "Will you do something for me?"
"As long as it's not helping you," Beckett replied easily though she was tracing the definition of his biceps before he spoke.
"Hold yourself open for me," Castle said firmly though his voice was a little more distorted than he wanted it to be.
"You want to see my pussy?" Beckett asked him, raising her left arm and putting it under her head. She wasn't surprised to find that her husband's gaze was shortly after on her breasts and she said, "Are you still going to come on me?"
"I will," Castle said before he tensed and paused at her spreading her folds with her fingers. "Goddess," he breathed to her.
"Hurry my love," Beckett told him when he started to stroke himself again. She saw he was faltering a little and she was about to urge him to come when he was speaking to her a little desperately.
"I'm… Kate I'm going to…" Castle managed to say before he lost control and groaned her name, just barely aware of her hand on top of his. When his pleasure-induced haze had cleared, he looked down at his wife and saw the state of her torso. "How-" he started to say.
"I was helping you," Beckett told him in amusement. "I'm guessing you enjoyed that."
"And I'm guessing I need to help you?" Castle replied. When his wife nodded, he literally dove down to her body and began cleaning her skin, kissing her when he needed to until he was finished. Before she could stop him, he went to her breasts and blew gently on the skin that he had licked clean. Hearing her moaning above him he told her, "We're uneven."
"Yes, but I did want you inside me again," Beckett told him firmly. She was soon biting at her lower lip briefly when she saw the intensity with which her husband was staring at her before she was taking his intense kiss. After they were parting, she was about to ask what was wrong before he was suddenly sliding down her body. When she felt his lips brushing kisses at the junction of her right leg and torso she was gasping in pleasure before he raised his head.
"If you want me to st-" Castle started to say before his wife was covering his mouth with her fingers. He gently pulled her hand away and kissed at her fingertips before he descended a little further on her body. When he reached her clit, he put her legs over his shoulders and gently parted her folds though the nub was already protruding enough for him. Bowing his head a little more, he surrounded it carefully and began to suck on it gently. After he'd been doing that for a while, he wasn't surprised to feel her moving underneath him, and he groaned a little at the feeling before she was suddenly calling his name. He held onto her tightly to keep her in place, pleasuring her continuously until she was limp on the bed.
Smiling a little when she felt her husband's cheek eventually press to her stomach Beckett said, "You're going to need to shave in the morning," reaching for him when he moved up to her at the same time he spoke.
"You'll help," Castle said. He wasn't surprised when his wife was shortly after laughing, but it didn't last long before she was kissing him, and they were holding onto each other tightly as he pulled her to his side. Feeling her leg up on his before she was clinging to him, he pulled away and said against her lips, "Do we need to stop? Please tell me we don't."
"We don't," Beckett responded, not surprised when her husband was kissing her hard after that. She responded eagerly until they were parting, and she allowed her husband to lay her on her back. Watching him in surprise, she looked on while he was pushing away to stare at her body. "What do you want?" she asked.
Castle's response was to lean down into her and he kissed her tenderly while he was reaching in between them. Gently rubbing at her clit, he wasn't surprised when she was gasping and arching her hips before he leaning down to her, kissing her again. When he had pulled away, he told her, "I want to fuck you love."
"So do I," Beckett told him seriously. When he kissed her immediately after she'd spoken, she was pleased feeling him rough against her lips before he was sliding his hand up to her hip. Pulling away from him she told him, "I'm ready love."
Though he wanted to question that, thinking it hadn't been enough time, Castle leaned down and kissed her deeply but kept it swift. Once he'd pulled away from her, he had her assist him until they were coupled again and he groaned telling her, "I didn't think you were," relieved she knew what he meant in her response though it was affecting him greatly.
"I want your cock in me again Rick," Beckett told him, running her hand over the back of his head.
"I need your pussy love," Castle said firmly. He brushed his lips to hers before he moved gently at first to test her readiness, but when she was quick to wrap her legs around him, he unintentionally came to a stop. "Put your feet on the bed," he instructed her.
"We…" Beckett started to say before she trailed off and nodded. Once she was ready, she took her husband's kiss before he was thrusting again, and she was cutting off their kiss to turn away from him and cry out his name. She was soon nearly incoherent, unable to speak and crying out her joy in the rapid movement of their bodies together. Hearing their skin slapping together, the bed protesting beneath them before she was suddenly orgasming, and she tried to call his name though all that came out was a husky moan. He was joining her shortly after and she was pushed to a second orgasm, though she was aware his hips were angled down to strike her clit helped as well. She nearly felt dizzy from the ecstasy that racked her body until she soon felt herself calming down and she was moaning when he gave stuttering thrusts until he was still above her. "Did you?" she asked him a little later when she thought he might be recovered enough to answer.
"Yeah," Castle asked. "You were too good to resist… a second time," he said before they were kissing tenderly. He then said once they had parted from each other, "That was it wasn't it?"
Smiling at his tone Beckett told him, "You realize that doesn't mean we have to stop yet," not surprised when he was pouting briefly before he spoke.
"I'm just worried we're going to be extremely tired tomorrow," Castle said. When she pulled him down to her for a kiss, he was quick to instigate it before they were slowly parting and he said, "So we're waiting."
"At the very least one day," Beckett told him before they were kissing again. Since she had moved to sit up, she was able to gently brush his hair away from his temple and told him, "One day."
"You want me?" Castle asked her, taking her hand and pressing a kiss to the middle of her palm. When she nodded to him, he said, "I will and I can't wait," leaning into her so their lips were brushing against each other at the end.
"Pervert," Beckett said before she began kissing him. They were gentle and she couldn't help the thrill going through her before they eventually parted and she said to him seriously, "I love you, Rick."
"I love you too Kate," Castle said in the same tone of voice. "I gcónaí?"
"I gcónaí," Beckett whispered, a moan leaving her lips shortly after that when her husband was lightly caressing her breasts. She gently stopped him and kissed him again before they were slowly parting and she murmured, "Again Sheik."
"Goddess," Castle breathed to her before he laid her down on her back again.
With Beckett urging her husband inside of her again, she and Castle were moving slowly in time with one another. They were unable to resist each other and their need to feel the satiation of their lovemaking while the night passed, unheeded by them in their mutual ecstasy.
