"Please tell me you approve of the restaurant," Castle told his wife after they'd eaten for a little. He smiled when she laughed before speaking swiftly while she picked up her glass of juice.

"We have an ocean view Rick, I don't think you need to worry," Beckett told him.

"Yeah, that's the best part," Eliza said eagerly.

"And you don't think the food is good?" Louis asked her. When she wrinkled her nose at him, he laughed and said, "Then it's as good as the view."

Smiling when her little sister was nodding rapidly while she bit into her mini burger, Alexis then said, "But it is a great restaurant- Dad, sorry," ending with a smile after she'd interrupted herself.

"They moved?" Martha asked. At her granddaughter's not she said, "My great-grandchildren seem to be busy."

"Very," Alexis replied. "I'm fine," she then added in a rush. "Walking I'm fine."

"What about on the sand?" Julia asked her.

"Oh no, I was good," Alexis said. "I'm doing alright."

"You're eighteen weeks now, aren't you?" Beckett said.

"About that, if the doctor was right," Alexis replied with a brief nod. She smiled and then said, "A little longer you guys."

"We know," Julia and Eliza said at the same time before they looking at one another and laughing with their family.

"Mama, I want more," Josie said then.

"Here," Beckett said as she let her have a smaller fry that was served with her lobster roll.

"Should I give her one?" Castle asked since he'd gotten the same.

"She's good," Beckett replied. "And almost finished," she told him.

"I was hungry," Castle said in feigned defense.

"We all were," Jim said. When his daughter and son in law turned to him, he smiled and said, "Your daughters?"

"We were hungry," Eliza said rapidly when her parents were looking at hers and Julia's plates.

"I see that," Beckett said. "So was I," she told the little girl before she was giggling and getting out of her chair.

After she had hugged her mother tightly Eliza whispered to her, "Did you decide?"

"Remember we ate a little early," Beckett said with a smile. She wasn't surprised when the little girl squealed and hugged her tightly before she said, "I'm glad you approve."

"Yeah," Eliza said with a nod.

After he had paid, Castle grabbed Josie and said, "We are walking first, right?"

"Around the shops," Beckett said with a nod since she had already talked to Skye and Mary about that.

"And to the end?" Julia asked. When her parents were looking at her, she smiled and said, "I figured."

"It's going to be a walk," Beckett warned her and her sister.

"That's okay, we can have the ice cream after," Eliza told her.

"Hold on," Castle said, touching his wife's arm. When she glanced at him, he was about to continue when Skye, walking over to them spoke to him and his wife.

"Mary reminded me of something, and we need to have a little meeting with the other parents," the investigator said.

"Sure," Castle said before his wife nodded. They worked their way out of the restaurant before the grandparents were taking the kids down the pier and he said, "You found something the kids will want more than ice cream?"

"Yes," Mary said firmly. "Ice cream."

Laughing when the others looked completely perplexed, Skye said, "It's another ice cream place, McConnell's and worth the eight minute walk."

"Did you look that up?" Darnley asked in amusement.

"I had to, to make sure since it's a new spot," Skye said.

"Where is it exactly?" Beckett asked.

"We just need to cross Cabrillo and go up State," Mary said. "And it's delicious," she added before David was asking them about the shop itself.

"You've been?" the mayor asked.

"Yeah, the one further up on State but it's the same ice cream luckily," Skye commented. "And with that we better go after everyone, the kids are going to wonder."

"Especially your daughters," Beckett told her with a smile as they began to walk.

After they'd gotten caught up with the others, they walked to the end of the pier where Eliza was pointing out into the water.

"There are sea lions on the buoy!" the little girl exclaimed.

"Don't point," Beckett said in amusement.

"Sorry," Eliza said, looking back at her. "I got excited."

"I'm not surprised," Beckett replied before she was taking a picture of the little girl when she turned back to the water.

"How can they stay on there?" Iris told her sisters and Eliza.

"They're balancing," Julia said. "Seriously, they do that at Pier 39 in San Francisco," she said when the four were looking at her in surprise. She smiled when her sister was nodding firmly in agreement before she turned to the water and took some pictures. When they'd been there for a little, and she had been lucky to get some pictures of the land they could see behind them, she was surprised when they were being ushered off the pier. "Why are we going in such a hurry?" she asked her grandparents while she and Mari were walking with them.

"I think it's dessert kiddo," Martha answered. She couldn't help laughing when the teen rushed over to Mari and said to Jim, "I take it they've been waiting for it."

"They thought we were going to the one we walked by," Beckett's father said in amusement, watching the younger kids staring at the ice cream shop on the pier.

"I did," Joseph said, walking near them with his wife.

"I am surprised it won't be ice cream," Bethany said.

"So am I," Jim said. "Katie does love ice cream."

"And Richard," Martha said before she frowned.

"What is it?" Bethany asked her in surprise.

"It might still be ice cream but… that's very strange," Martha said.

"I think that might be Skye and Mary," Jim told her.

"That is right," Joseph said in agreement. He was going to add more, reminding them all the pair knew the city when Liam was speaking behind them.

"You are correct, they have a special place," the pilot said.

"Very, and I'm glad I finally get the chance to try this," Pablo said next to his husband.

Reaching for his hand Liam said, "We haven't had the chance."

"Are you two fighting?" Fleur asked while they were waiting to cross Cabrillo.

"Teasing only," Pablo assured his granddaughter.

"Oh good, but where are we going? Marie and Kath won't say," Fleur told them.

"We'll reach it soon," Mary said.

"Come here Fleur," Skye called to her. She smiled as the little girl was rushing to her and taking her hand she said, "Hopefully you'll enjoy it."

"You and Mommy do," Fleur said.

"Yes, and it's here," Skye said after she spotted the ice cream shop.

"Ice cream!" Eliza said eagerly before she frowned in confusion.

"They know this place," Castle told her.

"Oh… okay," Eliza said.

"It'll be worth it," Marie said with a smile before they went inside.

Once she had looked at the list of flavors Eliza asked her parents, "How do I pick?"

"What do you feel like?" Beckett asked as the little girl was taking her hand. "Fruit, chocolate… not coffee."

Giggling, Eliza said, "I don't want coffee, but… fruit sounds good." She hesitated and then said, "Chocolate too."

"Why don't you get what I'm going to get?" Beckett asked her.

"Which?" Eliza asked eagerly.

"Chocolate covered strawberry," Beckett replied, not surprised at the gasp from her second youngest before she was speaking rapidly.

"I can get that right?" Eliza said. "I'll take a little cup if I have to."

Stopping her, since he'd approached while she was speaking, Castle said, "You can have a cone. But we are so walking."

"Oh, we are?" Beckett asked her husband, her eyebrow raised.

"Skye suggested it and her daughters are okay with it," Castle replied.

"Were you eavesdropping?" Beckett asked him in amusement.

"No, she told me after. And wanted me to ask you what you thought," Castle said.

"Alexis-" Beckett began.

"We'll take a cab," Louis interrupted. "But we'll be waiting until we finish our ice cream."

"We're not leaving right away," Mary said with a smile, walking up to them. "We're going to walk back to the pier and finish there."

"Your girls?" Alexis asked her.

"It's tradition," Mary answered. "If you're alright with those plans."

"We are," Beckett answered when her husband looked at her before she squeezed his arm. "We need to get Julia," she then told him.

"I'll go," Castle said while he was turning around to where he knew she was. He stopped himself quickly, seeing the teen was heading to them and said with a smile, "You're all set," not surprised at her immediate response.

"Yeah," Julia said. "The chocolate covered strawberry," she told her family, startled when her little sister was giggling. "Did you pick that too?" she asked.

Nodding Eliza said, "Mommy's getting it too."

Smiling when the girls turned to him, Castle said, "Not me, I decided on the sprinkle cake one." He then added, "I'm sharing with Josie if you're wondering."

"Not that much," Beckett said, aware of her husband's choice.

"You're giving her some of yours?" Castle asked her. At her nod he then said, "Okay, just the others and then I'll order," before he was leaving them.

"Do we need to go and help him?" Julia asked.

"You do," Beckett replied. "I'll stay with Josie." She watched the two leave before she realized Louis was following them along with her father. Turning to Alexis she asked, "What did you get?"

"The same as you," Alexis replied. "Louis is too. He wanted the Turkish coffee, but I convinced him it wasn't the right flavor."

"Hmm, should you be saying that in front of the baby?" Martha asked her oldest granddaughter with a smile on her face.

"What baby?" Josie asked.

"I think she means you Josa," Alexis said.

"No Gram," Josie replied, shaking her head. She giggled when her big sister kissed her cheek before she leaned over to her. "You have… baby," she said, though she was shortly after frowning.

"I do," Alexis said in amusement. "But I can still carry you."

"Yes," Josie said firmly before she was smiling at the others laughing before she squealed seeing the ice cream her father was bringing back with the others. "Mine Mama?" she asked Beckett.

"Ours sweetheart," Castle said, walking up to them. "Right now," he added before Josie squealed again and he smiled at his wife squeezing his hand before they turned their attention to their daughters and their ice cream to take to the pier.


"Are we going outside at all?" Jacob called.

"We had to change you know," Eve told her brother, making a face at him.

"Change? I thought we were just going to put our feet in the pool," Jacob replied in confusion.

"And we're already outside," Julia said, smiling when the pair turned to her.

"How did you… you didn't brush your teeth," Jacob said.

"No, we did," Julia replied. "We just hurried." She turned to Eve and asked, "Peter?"

"He was going to bed," the young woman replied.

"That makes sense, but we already went in the pool," Julia added.

"We said we didn't have to wait," Jacob said.

"You didn't look outside," Eve told him.

"I tried to, but I can't see with all the trees and stuff," Jacob told them.

"We should just head outside," Julia said, looking behind her. "They're ready," she told Mari when she walked up to the doorway to their suite.

"And Marie and Kath think they should get out right now," Mari told her before they turned at one of the twins calling out to them.

"Are you coming outside, or do we go in?" Marie said.

"We're here," Mari said first, rushing back out. "They're ready now."

"Great, we've been waiting for ages," Kathleen told them, smiling while the group of four was walking to where she and her twin were around the plunge pool their suite had.

"It's still crazy," Marie said.

"This suite?" Jacob asked. When the twins nodded, he said, "I agree. And that we get to stay for that much longer."

"We should, this place is huge," Mari said.

"And we have to have the chance to use that dining room table," Julia added as they sat together around the edge of the pool with their legs in the water.

"Are you guys excited going to the beach?" Eve asked them all with a smile.

"Yeah, and to the pier again," Jacob said.

"You're just thinking about the ice cream place," Eve said.

"No way," Jacob replied in mock protest. "I'm thinking about the one up the street," he said, laughing when his sister was laughingly splashing him with a little water. "But you guys don't care we're going to that restaurant again?"

"You're asking us because we're younger, aren't you?" Julia asked jokingly.

Smiling at her brother when he made a face at the teen, Eve turned to her and she said, "No, because we're wondering. But you realize we're taking care of you."

"Yeah… though we're watching you guys too," Marie said before Julia could answer.

Laughing together, the six took a little before they were calming down and Julia was saying once they had, "At least we got this awesome… I was going to say suite, bungalow."

"Definitely," Mari said with a nod. She then turned to the McDouglases, and she said, "Are you excited to move home next?"

"Of course, but we don't want to leave here yet," Marie said. She smiled and said, "We miss it of course and we can't wait for you guys to see the pool room."

"Don't ask us what's in it," Kathleen added in a rush. "We know but Mum and Mom told us not to tell you."

"Think your little sisters will keep that secret?" Jacob asked.

"Yes," the twins said in unison before they were laughing again.

After they had stopped Julia said, "Who wants to go back in and watch TV?" She wasn't surprised when there was a lot of protest to that and she said, "Just kidding," before Mari was playfully pushing her and they were talking to the others about their time coming up in LA and San Diego to finish their vacation.


"Rose?"

Sitting up and turning towards the suite, Skye smiled when her wife stepped out and said, "Hey, anything wrong?" frowning when Mary walked up, and she could see the serious expression on her face.

"I was hoping you'd tell me," the doctor said, sitting on the lounge chair next to the one her wife was on.

"I told you already," Skye said firmly. "That I am. They're good memories grá," she told her, reaching out for her hand.

Watching her wife kissing firmly at the back of her hand, Mary pulled her closer and they were soon kissing gently. After they were parting, she said, "Then I don't need to help you relax to sleep," not surprised when the investigator was responding swiftly.

"You could, but there won't be a pressing need to," Skye answered before her wife was leaning over and kissing her a little roughly. When Mary pulled away, she told her, "What do you want?"

Smiling widely, Mary said, "You distrust me?"

"Yes," Skye replied though she was smiling at the same time.

"Would you want to go swimming?" Mary asked.

Cupping her wife's cheek Skye said, "I'd love to," gazing at her until the doctor spoke.

"I was debating going without our clothes," Mary finally finished with.

"I'm not surprised," Skye said, standing up.

"But I think it'll be better if we just take a quick dip," Mary told her with a smile.

"Good idea," Skye said with a smile. "But we need something before we start you know."

"Towels?" Mary asked. When her wife nodded her head once, she couldn't help laughing and they were heading together to inside their suite. Once they had their towels, they changed into their bathing suits. Outside they walked to the outdoor shower and rinsed off before they were walking to the pool, leaving their towels nearby before they were getting into the water.

"Do you want to know something right this second grá?" Skye asked.

"I would," Mary replied. When her wife hummed a little, she laughed and then said, "Go ahead."

"Am I forced to sing the whole thing?" Skye asked. She wasn't surprised when her wife merely looked at her and she leaned into her, kissing her lightly on the lips before she sang the first two verses and chorus.

Oh, I used to be your baby
Used to be your pride and joy
You used to take me dancing
Just like any other boy
But now you've found another partner
You've left me like a broken toy

Oh, it's someone else you're taking
Someone else you're playing to
Honey though I'm aching
Know just what I have to do
If I can't have you when I'm waking
I'll go to sleep and dream I'm with you

Oh, take me, take me
Take me to the dreamer's ball
I'll be right on time
And I'll dress so fine
You're going to love me
When you see me
I won't have to worry
Take me, take me
Promise not to wake me
Till it's morning, it's all been true

"Mmph," Skye groaned in pleasure when her wife was cutting her off with a kiss. She responded swiftly before they were holding onto one another, and she caressed her wife before they were slowly parting. "You always interrupt me," she told her teasingly.

Smiling Mary said, "It's a long song."

"Did you want to stay in for that much longer?" Skye asked her running her hand over her shoulder before she was gently brushing her fingertips to her wife's breast, a little frustrated feeling her bikini fabric.

"Just a little," Mary said, taking her hand and kissing it lovingly before her wife was responding.

"I'm relaxed," Skye informed her wife.

"Enough?" Mary replied.

Pretending to think that over, Skye soon smiled and said, "Yes," leaning over to her so they could kiss again. After they had parted, she murmured, "Let's go grá."

"I'll follow you," Mary said easily before they were leaving the water together. She was going to grab her towel when her wife was stopping her and she said, "You better let me do the same," she said firmly.

"I will," Skye said easily, focusing intently on her wife's body. After she had toweled her dry, she told her, "I wish…"

"I know grá," Mary said swiftly. She leaned over to her and gently kissed her before she said, "Do you want to talk about it?"

"No," Skye said. "I just wish," she added. She wasn't surprised when her wife was gently taking her hands and she said, "But we were heading back inside."

"Yes," Mary said, turning her attention to getting Skye's towel. She was gently drying her off and said, "I hope you won't mind us waiting a little before we undress."

"Believe me, I was aware already," Skye replied. She smiled when her wife looked up at her and said, "I thought you'd convince me to stay in the pool."

"As much as I want you wet in that bikini right now," Mary told her, gently drying her back. "I think it's better if you're dry."

"Since we can do a lot more when we are," Skye replied. She then leaned into her, brushing her lips to her wife's before she said, "Though the word dry is worrying."

"Come on," Mary said laughingly before they were hurrying into the suite. When they were inside their bedroom, she took her wife's hand and led her over to the bed.

When Mary handed her her glasses, Skye took them with a smile and said, "You know what you want."

"Of course I do," the doctor replied. She leaned into her wife, and they shared a tender kiss before they slowly parted and Mary told her, "You're beautiful Rose."

"So are you," Skye replied, leaning into her and initiating another kiss. That time she made it a little rougher but didn't linger for long before she pulled away to press her forehead to Mary's. "How much longer were we going to wear clothes?" she asked her, their lips brushing together.

"We can't on the bed," Mary said firmly. "They're still wet."

"Then we really should disrobe," Skye told her while she was gently tugging at the tie on her wife's bikini top. When Mary was quick to lean into her, she pulled hard, removing the top just before they were kissing deeply.

At the same time Skye and Mary began tugging at the rest of each others bathing suits until they were falling to the bed laughing, naked and murmuring they loved one another before they turned their attention to beginning their night by arousing each other fervently.


"You're sure about not having anything to drink," Castle told his wife.

"I am," Beckett said with a smile, stepping up to the deck their pool was on. She then looked back at him and said, "Did you want something?"

"Not really," Castle said, looking at the view they had. Since the sun had gone down not too long before the sky was still lit with oranges and darker blues above the ocean. "I only ever saw a day picture with this view," he told his wife when he looked at her and saw she was watching him with a smile.

"I don't blame you," Beckett said. "It's an amazing view."

Smiling himself then, Castle said, "So you're alright with this villa?"

"I am," Beckett said. "Though you're lucky we're staying here for three days."

"It's why I picked this hotel," Castle said.

Beckett squeezed her husband's hand and then said, "I approve, don't worry." She laughed when he reached for her and wrapped his arms around her before she was taking his kiss. When they'd finally stopped, they parted slowly and she told him, "Want to swim?" She was surprised, after he nodded, when he was leading her back down the steps before she realized where he was taking her. "I should have mentioned it before," she told him while they stepped into the outdoor shower. She watched him go inside the bathroom, grabbing some towels before he spoke.

"I was going to ask but I thought we could make it for the sunset," Castle said. "Luckily you agree with me about the view."

Rolling her eyes Beckett said, "Lucky being the key word."

"Are you sure about this?" Castle asked her when she walked up to him. He wasn't surprised when she looked at him with a slight frown and began to explain, "If the kids-"

Covering his mouth with her hand gently, Beckett told him, "They have their own pool."

"Not with this view," Castle said, having taken her hand to be able to speak.

"No, but with us at the beach all day tomorrow and eating at the pier," Beckett started to say. "I think we're good."

"You could tell?" Castle asked her.

"To be honest I was just guessing," Beckett said with a smile. She patted his face playfully and told him, "Thank you for confirming."

"You're welcome," Castle replied swiftly. He wasn't surprised when she laughed before she turned away from him. "We did show them," he said.

"We did, and that was enough," Beckett said, not surprised when he was focusing then on unzipping her sundress for her before he was speaking again.

"Then you're okay with the plans for tomorrow," Castle stated.

Turning around when he'd finished, Beckett said, "I'm aware of what they're doing." She then said, "But they do want to spend time with their grandchildren."

Nodding, since the grandparents had them agree to letting the six of them take the kids to breakfast and then the beach, Castle said, "What worries me is the kids."

"I'm not surprised," Beckett said in amusement. "But they don't really care how they get to the beach." When he nodded, she was swiftly removing her sundress before she told him, "Are you going to help me?"

Castle was about to ask if she wanted him to in that movement, but quickly nodded again and said, "There is one issue."

"I know, we're going to have to be quiet," Beckett said simply.

"Extremely," Castle responded before he watched her turn around. Watching her raise her eyebrow he asked, "You think I wouldn't be? I'm not-"

"I would stop there Rick," Beckett told him, interrupting him by placing her hand to his chest. "Unless you want me to rethink your request?" she asked him, watching him take her hand. "And if we're actually going to accomplish this then we should start."

"You did say something about helping me," Castle told her, not surprised when her response was to grab a handful of his shirt and pull him down to her. He reacted swiftly, kissing her deeply while he wrapped his arms around her. After they'd been involved in that for a bit, he realized she was beginning to unbutton his shirt. When she was finishing, he pulled away from the kiss they'd been in at that moment and told her, "We're not lingering."

"Unless you changed your mind, I don't think we are," Beckett replied, pulling the shirt open while he was letting her go. After he'd taken his shirt and tossed it aside with her sundress, she watched him reach for the top of her bikini before she stopped him.

"I'm doubting myself now Kate," Castle told her.

"I'm not surprised," Beckett said with a smirk before he was grabbing for her.

"I keep forgetting," Castle said, understanding the reason why his wife was looking at him the way she was.

"I don't blame you," Beckett said before they were taking off the rest of their clothes. She took the towel he had grabbed and said, "The shower?" She smiled when he was cursing in Irish under his breath and putting it back. She turned it on and then said, "Where are your glasses?"

"On my nightstand," Castle replied easily before he walked up to her. "I really want to touch you right now."

"I'm not surprised, but the sooner we go…" Beckett told him simply before he was moving to turn off the water. They got their towels and headed together back to the pool, and she couldn't help taking a moment to look out at the view.

Touching her back, Castle looked on while she removed the towel, tossing it to one of the lounge chairs before she slipped into the water. He tried not to fumble his way over to her, but he managed to splash them both once he had joined her. "I'm not apologizing," he said.

"It wasn't that bad," Beckett replied with a smile. She then swam to the other end, though the pool wasn't big enough for that to take long, and she told him, "How long do you want to do this?"

"There's a part of me saying you should decide," Castle said once he'd stood in front of her after swimming.

"And the other part of you?" Beckett said. Before he could respond she was looking down under the water and smiled when she heard his breath hissing while he sucked it in.

"I don't really need to reply to that, do I?" Castle asked her. He was sucking his breath in again at her touch, her hands pressing to his chest before he leaned down to her. Though his body, aroused already for her, was screaming at him to take her roughly he kissed her gently though he was lingering until they'd ended up exchanging a few more. When they were apart, he nuzzled his lips with hers telling her, "You can't be ready."

"Then you should work on that," Beckett said, smiling when her husband was groaning under his breath before he responded huskily.

"You're leaving that up to me," Castle stated instead of asking. When she nodded, he was grabbing her, pulling her to him before he was kissing her forcefully. He sat on the side of the pool, not surprised to feel her straddling him before he pulled away from her when her hand was sliding in between them. "What-" he started to say before she was brushing her lips to his.

"I don't want you to take that long," Beckett said. When her husband's grip on her tightened she tried not to laugh before she was letting out a gasp since he was surprising her by reaching in between her legs.

"If this isn't what you wanted…" Castle started to say. He was relieved when his wife shook her head and he moved to kiss Beckett deeply before they were parting at the same time. He felt a thrill go through him while they were moving, and he was shortly after sliding inside her. Breathing a little roughly as she leaned back slightly, he couldn't help himself and he leaned into her kissing at her breasts a little fervently.

Biting at her lower lip, Beckett was moving carefully at first to test their position, appreciating the way her husband gripped at her a little tightly. With that assurance she pushed herself up and down on him, though she couldn't help becoming a little frustrated at the fact she couldn't move too fast. But she and Castle were kissing each other deeply, caressing at one another and trying not to be too loud in their rising pleasure.

When they were climaxing after a while moving together, the water around them was splashing against the sides and they were holding tightly to each other, kissing to muffle their vocal expressions of ecstasy. After they had recovered, Castle moved to kiss gently at his wife's shoulder and he told her, "Remind me to get a tub this big built in our bathroom."

Laughing a little, though she did her best to stop when her husband was groaning in pleasure, Beckett said, "No, but I appreciate the idea love."

Smiling at her, Castle pulled her down to him so they could kiss tenderly before he sighed and said, "We have to get out." He wasn't surprised when his wife nodded and he said, "Alright, hold onto me."

Since she was aware of what her husband was planning on doing, Beckett wrapped her arms around him while he pushed himself out of the pool with her still on his lap. Once he had stopped, she couldn't help caressing his face telling him, "You realize you just lifted me out of water, right?"

"I do, but don't worry, at the moment I'm not feeling that insecure," Castle told her.

"Pervert," Beckett said with a smile before she leaned into him, and they were kissing passionately. Once they stopped, she then said, "Should we go in?"

"After a shower," Castle replied. "Quick shower." He wasn't surprised when his wife was leaning into him, brushing her lips to his before he reluctantly let her go and watched her getting up. Trying not to groan in annoyance at her off of him, he followed her to their towels and was startled for a moment when she was going swiftly down the steps towards the outdoor shower. It came to him shortly after why she was doing that, and he wrapped his towel around his waist to follow her. He reached the shower just as she was turning on the water and he said, "Do you want me to get a washcloth?"

Nodding, Beckett stood under the water and was carefully keeping her hair as dry as she could before she turned to her husband. "Thanks-" she started to say while she held her hand out to him.

"I should take care of it," Castle interrupted her. He was carefully wiping away his release on her inner thighs once he'd gotten the cloth wet before he stood back up, grunting once he was fully straight.

"Do you need your other brace?" Beckett asked him. She wasn't surprised when he shook his head and they stood under the water though he made no move to touch her. After they stepped out, she watched him getting their towels and said once they'd begun drying themselves, "I'm afraid to ask what you're thinking right now."

Looking at her at the slight concern tinging her voice, Castle said, "I had another idea," explaining quickly to reassure her before she was suddenly smiling. He felt a thrill at the sight and nearly missed what she was saying though he quickly forced himself to focus on her response.

"I'd like to hear, but hopefully it's inside," Beckett told him. When he leaned down to kiss her quickly, she was aware was his response and they walked together inside to their room. "Well?" she asked him when he was taking off his towel. She was startled when his response was to move her to the bench on the other side of the bed and hurried to stop him. "Rick, I'm serious," she told him, her tone stern as well.

"Sorry, I wanted to set everything up," Castle said, cursing inwardly at the eagerness in his tone though he hadn't been able to help it. When she just continued to look at him, he breathed out heavily before he told her, "I'm going to move my nightstand…" He watched her as she walked to it suddenly and a smile soon appeared on his face before he went to her to get his glasses.

"I think I know what you want now," Beckett told him while he was slipping on his frames. When he was looking at her questioningly, she removed her towel and tossed it to the bench where his had ended up. "That armchair right here?" she asked, indicating the mirrored wall behind their bed. She couldn't help laughing when her husband was nodding rapidly and she then said, "Get started."

Reaching for his wife first, Castle was kissing her a little roughly before he told her, "You're a vixen."

"What do I call you?" Beckett responded. "It was your idea."

"I don't know," Castle managed to groan out since she had begun caressing his chest and lightly rubbing his nipples. He managed to grab her wrists to stop her, and he told her, "Do you want to help me?"

"No," Beckett replied simply. She watched her husband while he breathed out and nodded before she went to the bed and sat on the side. "I want to watch you," she explained to him while he was carefully pulling the nightstand out of the way.

"There's one problem though," Castle said as he looked at the mirror once the table was out of the way.

"We have to see love," Beckett told him simply. When he looked at her and then nodded, she turned again, looking on while he was grabbing the armchair next to the desk in front of the window with the view of the ocean.

"Kate-" Castle said.

"After," Beckett told him simply when he was returning to her. She stood to get a sheet or blanket when he was stopping her and hurrying to the linen closet the villa had. Watching him going swiftly she debated for a moment but finally decided and sat down, looking at her reflection before he was returning.

"Kate," Castle said, staring at her while he shook out a sheet he'd found.

"I think we'll be alright," Beckett said, getting out of the way for him.

"To be honest this was for you," Castle told her seriously.

Smiling, Beckett waited for him to finish with the sheet before she stood to the side of the chair while he was sitting down. She walked around before he was stopping her and she was just opening her mouth to speak when he was beating her to it, reaching between her legs at the same time to her joy.

"We're not taking that long," Castle commented.

Shaking her head, since she had suddenly found she couldn't speak at the stimulation of his fingers rubbing her clit, Beckett was a little taken aback when her husband was slipping his first two inside of her sex. Reaching down to Castle, she was grasping at his shoulders tightly while she used the support to thrust in time with his rhythm. She nearly forgot why the armchair was next to the bed before he was slowing down and carefully withdrawing his fingers from her. "Love," she murmured while they leaned into each other and were kissing hungrily. Though she was bending over to him she couldn't stop until he was gently squeezing her ass.

"Are you ready for me?" Castle asked her. He wasn't surprised when she was simply nodding her head and he waited for her to turn around. Since he could see in the mirror, the white lines dividing the different sections not affecting their view, he had a perfect view of her hand reaching underneath her to take his member in hand. Holding her hips he kept his eyes on the mirrors as she lowered herself on him, clutching a little hard at her while they were both groaning in pleasure at the sensation of their bodies coupling again.

Once she couldn't move, Beckett spread her legs a little further and was looking up at the mirror before she said, "You…" She trailed off, smiling for a second before she told her husband, "Look at how much you're… spreading me."

"I know," Castle replied, surprised his voice was as steady as it was. He rubbed his hands over her thighs and kissed at her neck through her hair before he told her huskily, "Ride my cock love."

Swallowing a little hard at his words and his tone, Beckett began to push herself up and down and was struck with déjà vu though she was using her feet and not her knees. But she was soon distracted by the stimulation Castle was providing her though she could see he wasn't able to move that well. She didn't mind, and at that moment pushed herself up slowly, nearly getting off him completely while he was swearing behind her. "Are you watching my pussy?" she asked him, reaching behind her with her right hand and holding him.

"Yes," Castle growled to her before he slid his hands up to her breasts. He wasn't surprised when his wife was responding by leaning back against him and he lightly fondled the mounds before he was rolling her nipples between his fingers. He was heavily aroused by her moans in response to him and he could feel her faltering for a moment.

"I can't… I can't see when you do that," Beckett breathed back to him, turning to look at him the best she could.

"Stand up," Castle told her roughly before she was shaking her head. "Vixen," he said before he was murmuring into her ear.

Biting at her lower lip at her husband's words, Beckett let him wrap his arms around her before he was kissing around her shoulders. She wasn't moving, merely flexing her sex around him before she said, "Are you looking?" She felt him nodding and said, "Good," before she was literally bouncing on him. At the first thrusts she became aware that they weren't going to be able to last for much longer though she was going as fast as she could. When she was faltering again, she wasn't surprised when her husband was running his hands over her body, speaking pleadingly and making her tremble in desire at the same time.

"Tell me we're going to stop after this," Castle told her. When she shook her head, he was brushing his lips to her shoulders and then said, "Then let us both come my love."

"I will," Beckett promised him before she was moving again. She felt her husband tighten his grip on her momentarily since she was going slowly, but she didn't falter and sped up until they were both peaking at the same time. Holding him the best she could while her body seemed to be rolling in response to the endless wave of pleasure going through her. When she had stopped moving, she could feel Castle struggling to continue behind her while he persisted in his thrusts. She tried to help him a little though it shortly after became too difficult and she took in the sensation while she was watching their reflections.

Breathing against the back of his wife's shoulder, Castle tried to speak a few times though he had to wait a little longer until he actually could. "Am I a pervert?" he asked her.

"Not to me," Beckett told him firmly. "Let me go love." She wasn't surprised when her husband was nodding and doing so, allowing her to stand up.

Watching her, Castle's eyes widened slightly when she cupped her hand between her legs and said, "I was going to-"

"I don't want your come to leave me yet," Beckett replied easily, smiling when he was grabbing her hips. As he kissed the mound above her clit she told him, "But I'll need more."

Pulling away from her, Castle couldn't help swallowing hard at her tone and how serious she was before he stood and asked, "Now?"

Smiling at his desperation in his question, Beckett cupped his cheek with her hand before she moved to lay down on the bed though she had to remove her hand from between her legs. While she was adjusting her hips she wasn't surprised when Castle moved to tuck a pillow underneath her and smiled saying, "Thanks."

"I thought you might want that," Castle replied simply as he joined her. Once he was close enough, he took her lips with his own and kissed her sensuously before they were slowly parting. "You're a goddess my love," he breathed to her.

"Hmm, Sheik," Beckett replied, her hand smoothing down his hair. She took his next kiss before she gently caressed his back saying, "I've been on top all night."

Clenching his jaw for a moment, Castle took a moment to recover before he told her, "I'm staying like this."

"You better," Beckett told him with a smile. When her husband was kissing her again, she wrapped her legs around him before she felt him rubbing against her, making her break off the kiss with a moan. "Oh… Rick you…" she started to say before she was wrapping her legs around him a little higher and moving with him.

Eventually Castle stopped her, telling her, "We're going to come."

"I know," Beckett said. "You said you were going to come inside me."

"I will, but I need to be inside you, don't I?" Castle asked.

"Yes, but you can accomplish that," Beckett said, spreading her legs at the knees so they'd remain wrapped around him before she raised her arms above her head.

Exhaling hard at her command, Castle was moving to grasp himself, looking up at her and seeing she was watching him closely. He was going to speak, but decided it was better if he didn't and instead slid the very tip in her. He paused for a moment and then began to slowly move into her, both of them breathing hard at the same time until their hips were flush against each other, and he was still. He couldn't help himself, gazing at her intently while she was wrapping her arms around him, keeping her legs spread before she was murmuring a question to him.

"Are you going to make love to me?" Beckett asked. When he murmured yes against her skin, she had to wait a moment to respond to that, stimulated heavily by the sensation. But she was finally able to speak telling him, "Then let me move with you."

With a smile on his lips, Castle moved to brush against hers and told her, "I want you to."

"Hmm," Beckett moaned when he was moving to her breasts. While he was kissing his way over them, she caressed his hair to attempt to distract herself from the way each brush of his lips sent a shock through her. But he wasn't stopping, and she was moaning, arching her back and hips and making her husband stop her. "You-" she started to say before he was kissing her as hard as he could.

When he'd stopped eventually, Castle was pressing his forehead to hers before he gently pulled away and was moving in her again. He was going slowly and doing so was immensely satisfied when she was moaning softly. "Move my love," he told her roughly before he was pressing his face against her shoulder. He'd begun to groan at the sensation of her doing as he'd requested, and they were working out their rhythm together.

After she and her husband were thrusting against one another without needing to check their speed, Beckett drew him to her so they could begin to kiss. Since she had initiated it, she was directing it, their tongues meeting slowly at first before they were going faster. She was immensely pleased at how long they spent doing that, finding her lips were swollen when her husband moved to stimulate her breasts again. Holding onto him tightly her eyes were soon rolling back into her head and closing shortly after. Her body was moving what felt like automatically and she was trying her best not to lose control of herself just yet.

"Kate," Castle groaned, moving to kiss her again. While they were involved in that he angled his hips slightly differently and was soon watching Beckett as she broke off their kiss again. He realized, with the way she was beginning to writhe, that she was close to her orgasm, and he kissed her before telling her, "Come for me my love, please."

"Are you… are you going to come too?" Beckett managed to ask him.

"Yes," Castle breathed before they were kissing each other at the same time.

Though she was enjoying the more fervent press of their lips, Beckett couldn't stop her body losing control of itself and she was pulling away, arching her back fully. While she lost control of herself at the release of the tension that had built up to an uncontrollable point, she was calling his name. Dragging her nails over his back when he was joining her, she could almost dimly hear her name on his lips until she was limp and trembling on the bed while Castle was continuing to thrust in her. He continued for a little longer and once he was almost slumped against her, she smiled and said, "Thank you."

Relieve he could speak after his orgasm and how intense it had been in its satisfaction, Castle raised his head and asked, "I fulfilled your request?"

"Hmm, you did," Beckett replied before he was leaning into her. She took his kiss eagerly before she began to gently caress his hair until they were parting to breathe. Though she didn't want him to, she let go of him so he could lie on his back and hurried to press to his side.

"I'm wondering something Kate," Castle told her after they'd been laying in silence for a while.

Unable to help smiling, Beckett replied, "If you want more, you'll have to help me."

"It's more do you want it," Castle said, looking at her. He watched her move to lay on her side and he was quickly doing the same before her leg draped over his. With his length pressed against her sex, since she'd moved to facilitate the position, he told her, "I love you, Kate. I adore you."

"I love you too," Beckett said before her husband was kissing her deeply. He was a little rough at first before he slowed down, and she caressed his shoulder and arm until he was moving her onto her back. "Show me?" she asked him.

Nodding, Castle moved to kiss her though that time he was gentle until he moved to enter her again. With her encouragement at her touch, they were shortly after coupled before he brushed his lips to hers and murmured that he loved her.

Responding immediately again, Beckett didn't mind they had repeated the same words again. Her focus was very shortly after drawn to Castle since they had begun to make love once more. She was eager for him, feeling the same from him while they were kissing and losing themselves in their pleasure and each other with total abandonment in the time they had remaining that night.
