Running her fingers gently through her husband's hair, Beckett smiled when he was reaching for her hand. He kissed at the back of it before she said, "I'm surprised at you."

"For laying like this?" Castle asked, startled since it wasn't the first time he'd laid on his stomach.

"Yes," Beckett said.

"Oh, I get it," Castle said exaggeratedly, moving to sit up. "You want me to hold you."

Smiling Beckett said, "I didn't mind that just now… but I'd like a little more."

"How much more?" Castle asked.

"Is it almost time for dinner?" Beckett asked in surprise, taking his wrist and looking at his watch.

"It is," Castle said, watching her. He leaned into her and kissed at her temple before she looked up at him and they were kissing lightly. After they were parting, he then said, "We were… busy."

"Extremely…" Beckett said with a smirk, gently pulling him down to her. They kissed again, slowly and sensuously that time before they were pulling apart from each other and she said, "Were you keeping count?"

"Instances or orgasms?" Castle asked.

"You kept track of both?" Beckett asked in surprise. At his nod she said, "And?"

"You don't believe me," Castle said.

"Not exactly," Beckett replied. "How exactly could you keep track?"

Shaking his head Castle said, "I'm good with numbers."

Sighing, Beckett said, "Alright, what do you have."

"Six and eight," Castle said.

Smiling Beckett told him, "You shouldn't really doubt yourself."

"I don't," Castle said firmly. "It's more my age but at the moment I don't feel doubt."

"Great, I was afraid I was going to have to convince you," Beckett said with a smirk. She wasn't surprised when he leaned into her and they kissed tenderly and once they were apart, she told him, "I think you still want me to."

"No," Castle said firmly. "I want you." Before she could respond to that he was gathering her in his arms and kissing her as hard as she could before they were laying back. He was overjoyed when she was parting her legs immediately for him and he was shortly after sliding inside of her sex. Watching her closely while she was crying out, he pressed his hips firmly against hers once he was fully sheathed in her and told her, "You're already wet."

"How could I not be?" Beckett breathed when he was leaning down and kissing at her breasts. She wasn't surprised when he wasn't responding to her question, continuing to work over her breasts until he moved up to kiss her. She was overtaking it once they'd started it and when he pulled away in shock, she smiled telling him, "No?"

"I wasn't expecting that," Castle explained.

Biting her lower lip at the sensation of him gently fondling her breasts, Beckett stopped him and told him, "You're not going to be expecting this. Turn me over Rick."

Nodding, Castle immediately did so and helped her get settled before he was holding her by her hips tightly when she squeezed her sex around him. "Goddess," he breathed to her before she began to move on him. Since he was sitting up, he was able to watch her, her head bowed to watch what she could of herself. He was suddenly distracted when he slipped out of her and he slapped at her ass saying, "You did that on purpose."

"Of course," Beckett replied. She smiled and gently curled her hand around his length telling him, "You weren't really moving."

Cursing in Irish, Castle tried to get her hand off of him and said, "I will this time, I was watching you."

"I know, but you need to really move with me love, it isn't enough on my own," Beckett instructed him. She gasped when he was suddenly grabbing her, pulling her against him before he was kissing her deeply. Responding to him eagerly she wrapped her free arm around his neck while they were rubbing and rolling their tongues around each other until he was moving her back.

"Fuck me love," Castle said sternly. Seeing she was obviously elated at the command he resisted the urge to kiss her and held her by her hips so she could lower herself on him.

When their hips had met again, Becket was squeezing her legs on his and proceeded to move as she'd been before. Rocking on him she was pleased to feel he was responding in turn, and she couldn't help speeding up. She did that a few times before she slowed down and then sped up again. Since she and Castle were both groaning and holding onto each other tightly they were slowing down at the same time and maintaining that rhythm. "Rick," she breathed, sliding her fingers through his hair. "I know why you enjoy this."

"There's another reason too," Castle breathed, leaning down and capturing her right nipple with his lips. He was suckling at her hungrily and feeling a thrill go through him before she was moving a little more slowly until he had gone over both her breasts. Tilting his head up to her he said, "And I know you're going to come."

"I don't want to… yet," Beckett said, stopping and breathing roughly. "Take me love," she begged him.

Not responding verbally, Castle leaned into her and kissed her lightly before he was laying her on her back. He'd had to move carefully, since he hadn't withdrawn from her, and once she was on her back he watched her move her legs. Seeing she was placing her feet flat on the bed, he smiled momentarily before he began to thrust. He started slowly, spending some time at that speed watching his wife to see her reaction. Seeing her closing her eyes he was flexing his hips a little to thrust upward, hearing her crying out since she had turned her head away from him. He did that a few more times, then rammed into her hard, enjoying the way Beckett threw her head back while calling his name. He soon became a little more in control of himself and he was able to lean down to her, kissing her tenderly before he murmured against her lips, "Tell me… how this feels for you… love," pleased when she was soon after responding to his request.

"I… can feel your… cock so deep…" Beckett breathed. "You're…" She trailed off before she was focusing on being able to meet his thrusts. "Promise me… we won't stop after…"

"We won't," Castle said firmly. "I'm going to do whatever you want… until we…" He had to trail off because he was becoming more and more distracted since she was trailing her nails over his back. That added to the friction between them and the way she was beginning to twist her body was becoming too much. "Kate… tell me you're going to come," he said to her huskily. "I'm… your pussy is so tight love I need to come in you."

"I'm… close," Beckett managed to say. "Don't stop fucking me… with your cock!" She ended on a cry when her husband was able to strike at her clit a few times and she was unable to keep herself from losing all self-control. Arching her back she was nearly running into him but was soon back on the mattress and writhing. Her husband was moving a little harder inside of her and by then then was clinging to him, having abandoned trying to move with him. She felt him reaching his peak shortly after and was trying not to hurt him by digging her nails into his skin. She was a little disappointed she only climaxed once, but she was shortly after telling her husband when he was still, "Nine?"

Doing his best not to laugh that loudly, Castle raised his head and told her, "It is, but we're going to have to stop now."

"You realize I meant after dinner right?" Beckett asked him.

"Oh I did, I just wanted to point out I was listening to you," Castle said before he was carefully withdrawing from her.

"How could you not?" Beckett replied teasingly. She pressed against his side and added, "You commanded me to talk dirty."

"And you did," Castle said, smiling when she rolled her eyes. "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Beckett replied with a smile before they were leaning into each other. They kissed gently before they parted shortly after and she told him while she pressed her cheek to his shoulder, "I meant what I said though."

"I was hoping," Castle replied. "Though I have to ask, you're not tired of the bed are you?"

"No," Beckett said with a smile. She kissed his cheek and said, "But we do have the living room."

"A couch, coffee table and walls," Castle said. He paused and then said thoughtfully, "Then there's the kitchen." He was a little startled when she suddenly turned onto her stomach and he said, "Pervert?"

"No, I have to differ about the kitchen," Beckett told him firmly, not surprised when he was speaking and disagreeing with her.

"Do you remember how many times we were together in the kitchen at Mill Valley?" Castle asked.

"Yes, but it was ours," Beckett reminded him. "Who knows how many people have been here?"

"While they do clean the huts after every stay you do make a point," Castle replied. He then said, "But you know we have been in one room all day."

"What do you want?" Beckett asked him in amusement.

"I don't know yet," Castle said honestly. "But if I figure something out, I'll tell you."

Beckett laughed and kissed him before her husband was responding until they were parting to breathe normally. "I'm joining you in the kitchen," she told him once she could speak without having to pause.

"Just watching," Castle said.

Smiling, Beckett kissed his shoulder before she told him, "Yes, but I'm not staying in here by myself."

"Fair enough," Castle replied before he was holding her closer to him. "And I might have to get up now."

Beckett laughed and she told her husband, "Do you want me to move?"

Looking at the time Castle sighed and said, "Yeah, we're going to have to." He kissed her briefly before getting up and off the bed warning her, "I was planning on putting clothes on."

"So am I," Beckett replied firmly.

"How much?" Castle asked, pausing to admire her sitting up in bed.

"You'll find out," Beckett replied. "Later." She smiled when he shrugged before he was getting dressed and she watched him unabashedly.

"I'll see you out there," Castle told her, going to her and kissing her tenderly.

Watching him go, Beckett bit at her lower lip before she moved to get out of bed and hurried to prepare to get dressed. Once she was slipping on her sundress, she looked at her reflection in the bathroom mirror before she walked over to the kitchen where her husband was busy at the stove.

Hearing his wife's footsteps, Castle turned and watched her walk up straight up to him to his surprise. "You might want to be careful," he said, walking her back a little from the stovetop where he was cooking the fish they'd bought the day before.

"I saw," Beckett said, pressing herself close to him.

Catching a hint of her perfume, Castle had to literally throw himself at the stove so he wouldn't end up burning their dinner. He saw he'd gotten to the pan just in time but was freezing when his wife wrapped her arms around him from behind. "Kate… I don't want to burn this. Or you."

"Are you almost finished?" Beckett asked. When he nodded, she kissed his shoulder through the shirt he wore, and she made her way to the tall chair she'd sat at while he'd been making lunch. They were both silent as he was finishing up the meal, though she allowed herself to ogle him while he moved around the small space.

"Okay," Castle said. "What do you think?"

"It looks great," Beckett told him, moving off the chair. She reached for her plate but when he kept her from taking him, she gave him a look before she said, "Don't be subservient."

"I'm not, would you mind grabbing the wine and glasses?" Castle asked her seriously.

Smiling at him, Beckett leaned into him, and they kissed gently before she moved to grab what they needed for their drinks. Following him to the bedroom she looked out at the ocean while he took the glasses first and said, "Have you thought of an alternate place yet?"

"Yes," Castle said firmly. He wasn't surprised when his wife's head immediately turned to look at him and he told her seriously, "Here."

"So you're allowing me to be on top now?" Beckett asked.

"Sure," Castle said, not surprised when she gave him a look. "We'll see how that goes."

Though she wanted to comment, Beckett merely shook her head before they were moving to sit together next to each other again. Spotting a bolt of lightning in the distance she sighed and said, "I would have gone outside if it wasn't doing that."

"Why have the gaps in the thunder and lightning been when we've been making love," Castle commented.

"Because it annoys you," Beckett teased him. She laughed when her husband frowned at her and she leaned into him, kissing him on his cheek. "Eat Rick, we're a little early today," she told him, not surprised when he was freezing suddenly.

"Kate… do you want to-" Castle started to say before she was kissing him deeply. He responded and started to pull her onto his lap before the plates were clattering when she bumped into the table. "Damn it," he said, looking at it. "I'll wait until after-"

"You don't need to," Beckett said firmly, moving herself to sit on his lap. Once she was settled there, she wrapped her arms tightly around him and said, "Though I can't really stay like this."

"Hungry?" Castle asked her. "I could feed you."

Smirking at him Beckett said, "I get the feeling there wouldn't be food involved." She wasn't surprised when he looked startled and she leaned into him, murmuring into his ear before he was making her pull away. "I'm serious love, though we're going to stay here of course," she told him while he was looking at her closely.

"Yeah… when is this happening?" Castle asked slowly.

"After dinner," Beckett replied though she was leaning into him. They kissed gently and once they were apart; she was moving to sit on the other chair. Pulling it towards the table, she was startled when her husband suddenly buried his face between her breasts. "Rick-" she started to say before she gasped in joy at him kissing around her scar. He kissed at it directly before he sat up a little and she watched him staring at her closely while he was gently pulling the sleeves of her dress down.

"I want… just a little," Castle explained to her though his eyes were on her breasts.

"An amuse bouche?" Beckett asked him, breathing a little harder at how intensely he was staring at her. She wasn't surprised when he nodded, and she wrapped her arms around him while he took her breasts. She was biting her lower lip when his gentle kisses were becoming hungry sucks until he was at her nipples. When he pulled back, she was about to tell him they could reheat their dinner when he was speaking a little guiltily at the same time he helped her with her sleeves.

"I should have waited to do that," Castle said. He looked up at his wife when she was gently caressing his cheek and he told her, "Ever since you've worn this that summer in Ireland it drives me crazy seeing you in this. Do you know how thin this fabric is?"

Smiling, Beckett leaned into him before they were briefly kissing and once she was sitting back she told him, "I do, why do you think I wear it still?"

Breathing out hard once Castle said, "To torture me."

"Exactly," Beckett told him with a smirk. She wasn't surprised when he was staring at her with slightly widened eyes before she cupped his cheek and told him, "Come on love, we should eat first."

"Right, I'm starving," Castle said, shaking himself. He turned his attention to his food while his wife was doing the same and they began eating in silence. After a few bites he glanced at his wife, looking at her body in the thin sundress and blue patterns. He couldn't stop himself, reaching for her and placing his hand up her thigh since the skirt had pulled up enough to allow him to do that.

Smiling at him while she was setting her wine glass down, Beckett said, "I was waiting for that."

"How far can I go with this?" Castle asked her.

"As far as you want, just wait until we finish eating before you try and jam your fingers into my pussy," Beckett replied, thinking that would unnerve him though she was feeling that way when he was smirking at her.

"I don't think you mean jam," Castle said. "I'd caress and tease you until your pussy mistakes my fingers for my cock." He saw how his wife was clutching tightly at her cutlery and leaned into her, sharing a passionate kiss with her before they were slowly parting. "I didn't want to do this at dinner," he said seriously.

Nuzzling his lips for a moment Beckett said, "You wanted to talk about the girls."

"Yeah," Castle said. "And our grandchildren." He'd moved his hand away from her and was holding his fork and knife before he said, "You're an amazing grandmother love."

Smiling Beckett said, "I feel the same about you as a grandfather." She then grew a little serious and told him, "Why didn't we insist we would call them?"

"Mill Valley," Castle said. He ate the fish and piece of squash on his fork while his wife was looking at him in obvious confusion before he said, "We're going to have an easier time to call them in California compared to here. They did send that text."

Smiling Beckett said, "I'm not surprised they kept that conversation short," since their family had sent them a picture of them in the pool room where they'd celebrated her birthday on Sunday. "Hopefully they'll take the decorations down."

"Probably," Castle said reassuringly. "And I can imagine the girls telling us to stop right now."

Beckett laughed outright and she told him, "We're not finished eating yet."

"Close though," Castle said after he'd glanced at their plates. He leaned into her and kissed her gently before they were turning their attention back to their food. As soon as they'd finished, he jumped up and took their plates to the kitchen, grabbing the cake he'd gotten for his wife before he heard her calling to him, which made him pause.

"If you're getting the cake hold off on that," Beckett said. Turning to him when she heard his footsteps approaching, she was surprised when he was in the doorway and she asked, "What?"

"Could you stay right there," Castle said, holding his hand out towards her when she started to move.

"The light?" Beckett asked with a smile.

"Does that make me a pervert?" Castle replied with his own question, nodding at the same time.

"Basically," Beckett replied, still smiling. She remained in place, though she couldn't help turning around slowly and biting at her lower lip when she could easily hear her husband's groan though it was low in volume. "Come inside Rick," she told him.

"It's going to sound rude," Castle said. "But do you want to do what you requested earlier?"

Studying him Beckett said, "I would," a little startled when he hesitated.

"Could I give you your gifts first?" Castle asked.

"Alright," Beckett said, going to the table. She was sitting down and told him, "Though what I'm going to do after will count too."

"Goddess," Castle told her, pausing when he reached the table. He continued and handed her the file he had saying, "I hope you don't mind my wrapping."

"No," Beckett replied, opening it. "It goes faster," she added before she looked at the first picture. Glancing at him she said, "Why am I not surprised," smiling.

"You said you needed a new saddle blanket," Castle said.

"I did, and it's beautiful," Beckett replied, reaching over to him and squeezing his hand. As her other blankets for Alex had been, it was a solid color, quilted and she said, "It wasn't weird for you to get one the same color as your eyes?"

"No," Castle said easily. "I'm glad you enjoy that color."

Smirking at him, Beckett went to her next picture, seeing it was a purse she paused before looking at her husband.

"I could have gotten a purse that was screaming Versace over it," Castle said, making a gesture with his hand. "Literally."

"Don't worry," Beckett replied, squeezing his hand. "I love it."

"Great," Castle said. "I didn't want to bury them in my suitcase."

"Thank you," Beckett told him before they were leaning into each other. After they'd shared a brief kiss, she turned back to the file and was picking the picture of her Medusa tote bag in a turquoise shade before she paused seeing there was another gift underneath. "How many-" she started to say.

"That's the only thing that's Versace," Castle interrupted her. He smiled when she frowned at him and then leaned into her to kiss her lightly on the lips. "Keep going love, not many more," he said. He shifted and grunted when his wife was squeezing at his groin firmly and he told her, "That too."

"Thank you," Beckett said, looking down at the photo. It was of a pair of boots, and she said, "I almost thought you were serious about sending those to Skye."

Scoffing playfully, Castle told his wife, "We were in cahoots together-" having to laugh when she was grabbing his arm tightly and laughing herself. He smiled, watching her, waiting for her to calm down so he could speak though she was beating him to it.

"I was surprised at your wording," Beckett told him. She then said, "But they're perfect boots."

"I thought you'd like them," Castle replied before he was leaning into her. They were kissing lightly, and he said, "That was the last one."

"They were perfect," Beckett said before she was looking at him pointedly.

"Let me… take these," Castle said.

Smiling, Beckett told him, "You're hesitating?"

"I want this… setup to be good," Castle said before he made a face.

Laughing briefly Beckett said, "You're doing a great job with wording today."

Shrugging, Castle put away the file and then walked over to her, relieved when she was immediately standing up. He gathered her in his arms and kissed her passionately, pleased when she was clutching at him tightly. He couldn't help himself and he dragged his hands across her back, aware he was moving her dress up and down until she was pulling away from him first.

"Let me go love," Beckett told him, smiling when he was kissing at her collarbone where her skin was exposed by her dress. Once he had she reached for his dress shirt saying, "Thank you for not wearing that much."

"I'm going to say the same to you in a really short amount of time," Castle said.

Smiling again, Beckett was unbuttoning his shirt after pulling it out from his trousers before she said, "I hope you will." When he nodded his head rapidly, she said, "Don't be afraid to touch me."

"I won't," Castle replied, leaning down and pressing his lips gently to hers. When they parted, he looked on while she sat down and he said, "If I don't last for long…"

Looking up at her husband Beckett smiled and while she was opening the fly of his trousers asked, "Do you want this dress off of me?"

"No," Castle said, staring down at her. "But could I just… touch?" He had expected her to say no when she was nodding, and he moved immediately though he was sure she wouldn't change her mind. Slipping his right hand underneath her dress he sought her nipples and went over them with his fingers very carefully. When he pulled away from her saw she was opening her eyes, glancing up at him and making him tense since her warm brown eyes were nearly black.

Seeing the desire rushing through her reflected in her husband's eyes, Beckett moved to gently withdraw his erection from his boxers. She kissed the tip, feeling a thrill rush through her at his groan in response and she soon parted her lips, taking him in her mouth. She took a little time at the beginning to suck, using her tongue at the same time since she was aware he enjoyed that though she couldn't do it for too long since it would arouse him too greatly. She soon began to bob her head on him for a little before she began to use longer strokes up and down on him. Hearing his vocal reaction, she could tell he wasn't going to last for very long but didn't mind, wanting to push him over the edge while she pulled away and kissed along his length before taking him in her mouth again.

Groaning in pleasure, Castle was reaching down to his wife, unable to keep from tangling his fingers through her hair. He wasn't surprised when she was pushing him to the edge relatively quickly, her alternating pace too much for him. "Kate," he breathed once he could speak, reaching for her and making her stand up before she was speaking to him with a breathtaking smile on her face that made his length throb in response.

"Thank you for indulging me," Beckett said. She covered his mouth with her fingertips and said, "I know, I did the same for you."

"Not quite," Castle said. He wasn't surprised when she looked at him in slight shock and moved to sit down. Reaching for her hips he held her there firmly and told her, "I want the same thing."

Smiling Beckett leaned down to him and kissed him tenderly before she told him, "Hurry though."

Nodding, Castle slid his hands down her sides until he was at the bottom of her dress and moved his hands back up. He made sure that he was taking her skirt with him to prove she was naked underneath the dress. "You're beautiful Kate," he told her seriously as he looked up at her.

"Should I take this off?" Beckett asked him. She was a little startled when he shook his head before he was leaning into her, kissing at her mound. When he moved to part her labia, her dress fell in his way, and she smiled at the frustration that was clearly obvious on his face. "Let me," she told him, stopping him from pushing up the fabric. She was pulling it up out of the way and gasped when he wrapped his arms rightly around her before nearly attacking her clit with his mouth. She was crying out in joy because he was rough and then gentle with the swollen nub until she was calming down a little when he carefully let her go. Watching him she gasped since she could feel his fingers sliding through her sex and she needed to hold onto his head when he was gently spreading those two digits. He was carefully sliding in and out of her at that point, and with him sucking and licking at her clit she wasn't surprised when her orgasm came to her swiftly. She had been heavily aroused pleasuring him, and her ecstasy was rushing through her from head to toe before she was nearly collapsing into her husband's arms.

Helping her on his lap, Castle brushed his lips to her before she was responding, and he deepened it. After they were slowly parting eventually, he said, "Now we're even." He smiled when she did and he said, "You're gorgeous you know."

"Hmm, you said beautiful not too long ago," Beckett told him teasingly while she leaned her head against his.

"And I meant that too," Castle said. When she laughed, he moved to kiss her neck a few times and he murmured to her, "Let's go to bed."

Kissing him on the lips lightly, Beckett said, "You forgot about something."

Castle opened his mouth to tell her he hadn't when he said, "Right, do you want it now?"

"You don't?" Beckett asked him. She smiled when he pursed his lips slightly before she got off his lap and said, "Bring it here," reaching for her dress and pulling it off easily.

"Sure," Castle said absently while he was ogling her body unabashedly.

"Wait," Beckett said when he stood up and was about to step away from her. She gently pulled his shirt off before he was assisting her and once he was naked she told him, "Now you can go."

Leaning into her, Castle gently kissed her and rushed to the kitchen, preparing the tiny cake before he went back to the bedroom. He began singing Happy Birthday to her, sitting on the bed next to where she was until he finished, and she blew out the candle. "You pre-planned your wish," he commented while he took it out.

"I did," Beckett said before she was leaning into him. They kissed briefly before she looked down at the cake and she asked, "One fork?"

"Do you want me to get another one?" Castle asked.

"No," Beckett replied, taking it herself. She was startled when he slipped it from her hold and she said, "You're going to feed me," making that a statement instead of a question.

"We can take turns," Castle told her.

Smirking at him Beckett said, "You don't want to though."

"Humor me?" Castle asked her.

Smiling outright, Beckett leaned into him and kissed him gently on the lips before he was getting on the bed fully. She watched him cut into the cake before he was feeding her the piece, eating some himself after and they ate most of it like that before there was only a little left.

"Do you-" Castle started to say when his wife broke off a piece of the cake. He was interrupted when she fed that piece to him, and he stared into her eyes deeply before she was taking another piece and eating it herself. He turned abruptly and put the plate onto her nightstand before he got a little of the mango frosting and was making her lay down.

Beckett nearly held her breath watching him smearing the frosting over her nipples before he leaned down and lapped it off. "Let me do the same," she told her husband. "Rick," she told him firmly when he hesitated for a moment.

"No, let me get it for you… and put it on your fingers for you," Castle said before he slowed down. "That's not dirty, is it?"

"No," Beckett said smiling, surprised she could do so in her arousal. "Hurry."

Though there wasn't too much left of the cake, Castle and Beckett finished it by smearing the frosting over each other before they were eating the rest, nipping at the other's fingers until it was gone. They moved into making love easily once they'd finished, Castle moving slowly at Beckett's instruction until they were climaxing together.

Panting heavily, Beckett gently caressed at her husband's hair while he was recovering with his face pressed against her neck. "I hope you're not finished," she told him.

"No," Castle said, raising his head to look at her. "I-" he started to say when he pulled away from her, cutting himself off as soon as he did.

"I noticed," Beckett said laughingly. "We should clean up before we do anything else."

"A bath," Castle said, startled when she shook her head.

"A shower, it's faster," Beckett replied. She saw him open his mouth to speak before he nodded, and they were moving off the bed together. "Don't do anything in here," she said when he grabbed her wrist to her surprise.

"Wait," Castle said. "The rain let up and I haven't heard any thunder, would you want to try going to the outdoor shower?"

"Alright," Beckett said after she considered the view outside. They were turning then to make their way to the deck when they immediately froze at the loud boom of thunder, laughing when her husband was groaning.

"Seriously? All I wanted was a shower with my wife," Castle said in obvious annoyance. He heard her laughing and he sighed saying, "It's bigger than the shower stall here."

"Remember I told you about not staying in there for too long?" Beckett asked while she was gently leading him back to the bathroom.

"True, but I was just going to touch you," Castle said. "And you could do the same to me."

"Which we can do here," Beckett replied before they were stepping inside the shower stall. She turned on the water at the same time her husband was grabbing for her hips before she said, "Easy love, we need to rinse off."

"And how are you going to do that if you don't have something to rub everything off?" Castle asked.

"That was dirty," Beckett told him with a smile before he was grabbing for her. They were kissing deeply while the water was running over them both, continuing for a while until they needed to breathe. She wasn't surprised when they didn't say a word, instead began running their hands over each other's bodies until they were clean. They moved together out of the shower stall, and she let him dry her off first, not surprised when he was gently rubbing her sex. "You need the towel for that love," she told him teasingly.

"I think I should use my fingers," Castle said, deliberately rubbing at her folds where his release was still seeping out of her. He was startled when she was grabbing his wrist and he asked, "Stop?"

"Please," Beckett said. She wasn't surprised when he nodded and continued until he was finished. Before he could move, she had the other towel in her hands and proceeded to dry him off as thoroughly as he'd done to her. She took meticulous care with his length, caressing it gladly until she was finished herself. When he jerked the towel out of her hands she smiled and asked, "Too much?"

"Way too much, I'm going to come as soon as I get inside of your pussy," Castle said, trying not to let his frustration seep into his tone though he wasn't that successful.

"I wouldn't mind that," Beckett said seriously, watching her husband freeze instantly.

"And you?" Castle asked once he'd set aside the towels and was looking at her again. Seeing her biting at her lower lip he said, "You want me to."

"It's still my birthday," Beckett replied. She wasn't surprised when her husband, in reaction to that, strode up to her and was kissing her passionately. After they'd been doing that for a while, he picked her up just before they parted, and she wrapped her arms around him. "Hurry," she told him when he laid her on the bed.

"Wait," Castle said swiftly. "You-" he began before she was taking his hand. When she brought it in between her legs he was gently rubbing her clit, playing around with the swollen nub and greatly enjoying her gasps and moans until he slipped his fingers inside of her.

"No… Rick I don't want to come too," Beckett breathed, managing to stop him. "Come here," she told him firmly, pulling him against her body before he was suddenly stopping her. She frowned before he was sliding a pillow under her hips, and she was beginning to smile while he spoke to her seriously.

"I'm guessing you want this?" Castle asked.

"It depends more on you," Beckett replied, shifting a little for him so her legs were spread wider. "And I hope you can oblige me." She wasn't surprised when he was looking at her hesitantly and she told him, "Though you have been the whole day."

"Start?" Castle asked her. When she nodded, he moved to enter her, groaning deeply while she held his hips and slid around to hold his ass once he was sheathed fully within her. "I'm not going to take that long," he told her somberly.

"You don't have to," Beckett replied. "I just want you to come… for now."

"I'm not surprised," Castle said roughly before he began to thrust. He was doing so slowly at first before his wife squeezing at his back urged him to speed up and he was doing so easily until he was literally pounding into her. That didn't last long, and he was climaxing, calling her name while she wrapped her arms and legs around him tightly to hold him.

Pressing her lips to her husband's hair while he was jerking roughly against her body and moving it, Beckett could feel her arousal rising exponentially. She could also easily feel his release inside her, seeming to not stop though it inevitably did. When he was still, she closed her eyes to take in the sensation of everything within her sex and she couldn't stop herself, rubbing against him since he was pressed against her clit. Though she had thought to just stimulate herself briefly, she was soon after orgasming and gasping her husband's name in her pleasure.

His own desire seeming to come roaring back, Castle was taking in the sensation of his wife's body rubbing against his, her sex spasming around his length that was still rigid. "Kate," he said. "Please tell me you wanted that too."

Laughing briefly, a little shakily at the same time, Beckett said, "I did start it."

"Good," Castle said before he was kissing her. He made it gentle, and they were gently rubbing their tongues together before they slowly parted. Though he didn't want to, he gently pulled out of her and watched her sex slightly collapse after him. He was staring at her entrance for a while, unaware of that or of the fact his wife was watching him before she was gently brushing her fingers to his cheek.

"Get my mirror in my bag love," Beckett said when her husband was looking at her in surprise.

"Okay," Castle said after pausing for a moment at her words. He got off the bed and went to the bathroom, grabbing her mirror before he stepped back out into the room to find she was sitting up. "Were you watching me?" he asked, getting back on the mattress with her.

"Of course I was," Beckett said. She smirked and then said, "You do the same to me."

"Oh, I wasn't passing judgement," Castle told her firmly. "More I was making sure you were." He was a little startled when she suddenly grabbed for him, and they were kissing deeply. When she wrapped her arms around him tightly, he wasn't surprised when he felt the cold of the mirror against his skin but didn't stop until they needed to breathe. "You better look," he urged her.

Not surprised when her husband was helping her lay down, Beckett opened her legs again and placed the mirror in between them. "You're very rough," she teased him, aware Castle was watching her before he was kissing her tenderly and then murmuring against her lips.

"If you want me to stop then just tell me," Castle said before she was shaking her head. He closed the slight gap in between them, and they were kissing gently before he pulled away and began to kiss around her breasts. After he had done that for a while, he slowly moved back from her and asked, "Do you want me to do something about that?"

"You can take the mirror," Beckett replied before she watched her husband take it from her and set it aside. She smiled when he jumped back slightly finding her right in front of him once he'd turned back to her. "We haven't had much variety with positions," she told him.

"We've been a lot of places besides this bed," Castle said, kissing her lightly. He then paused in pulling away more fully from her and said, "You want another sampla?"

"Do you have any protest?" Beckett asked him with a smile when he was shaking his head before she had finished speaking. "Good, now because it's still my birthday I'm first," she said. Aware her husband was watching her, she made him sit where she'd been, and she hurried to get on top of him. Straddling him she said, "Surprising?"

"More like shocking," Castle said. He wrapped his arms around her waist while he was studying her and asked, "Do you have other instructions for me?"

"Of course," Beckett replied with a smile. "Only a few strokes my love," she told him, caressing at his chest before she slid her arms around his neck.

"The same goes for you," Castle said, glancing in between them pointedly.

"Oh I know, and I will," Beckett said simply before they were kissing. Since she had initiated it she made it passionate, and they were dueling inside her mouth for some time until they were slowly parting. She had been about to move before he was leaning down to her and kissing her breasts. She ran her fingers through his hair gently and began scraping at his scalp before he was moving to tilt his head up to hers. At the same time they began kissing she rocked her hips on him and she felt him groaning into her mouth to her joy. She proceeded to move, but as she had told him, she was only doing it a few times before she pulled away from him completely.

"Kate," Castle groaned.

"Come here," Beckett said seriously as she pulled him after her off the bed. She wasn't surprised when he tugged the bed sheet off the bed and put it on top of the dresser. With his help she was soon on top of it, and she wrapped her arms and legs around her husband once he stepped up to her.

"I want to stay here, after this," Castle said, wondering what her reaction would be to that though he ended up interrupting her by sliding inside of her slowly.

Beckett, digging her nails into her husband's back, was unable to respond to what he had said for a little while she was getting used to him within her again. Pressing her cheek to his she was eventually able to say, "I want to stay too," before he was moving. She was relieved she was holding onto him as his first thrusts were gentle and making her feel like she could melt back onto the dresser. But when he didn't stop, she was about to protest before he was giving her two rough, harder ones and then pulling away.

"Are you having second thoughts?" Castle asked huskily, watching her leaning against him.

"No, just… help me down," Beckett said. She was about to turn around when her husband was stopping her, and she was about to protest when he was speaking firmly as he stared into her eyes.

"I want you back on the bed," Castle said, startled when she was smiling at him. He took her back since he was aware that smile was her agreement, and they got up on the mattress together before he was laying her down and kissing her deeply.

While they were caressing at each other's tongues in Beckett's mouth, she and Castle were moving to get him back inside of her. They were soon coupled fully, and he began to move again, though that time all thought of changing their positions was forgotten since they were continuing to kiss and caress at one another until they were orgasming at nearly the same time.

Panting a little still when her husband carefully got off her and laid next to her, Beckett smiled while she told him, "You… you didn't follow my instructions."

"And you didn't stop me," Castle said, turning onto his side to face her. He couldn't help himself and he reached over, caressing her cheek with the backs of his fingers telling her, "You're gorgeous love."

Beckett was about to speak when her husband was kissing her, and she immediately responded before they were parting to catch their breath. She instantly reached to him and cupped his cheek with her hand before she told him, "You're a Sheik yourself."

Taking her hand and lightly kissing at her palm, Castle said, "Hopefully I made your birthday a good one."

"It is," Beckett said, not surprised when her husband was looking at her in slight confusion. "It's not midnight yet," she said teasingly, watching him looking at his watch.

"You're right… so what does that mean for us?" Castle asked, turning his attention back to her.

"Hmm," Beckett said exaggeratedly, aware her husband was watching her closely while she was stretching her arms up to the headboard of the bed. "I can tell you first off I don't want to go to sleep," she said, not surprised when he was immediately responding before she could continue.

"Neither do I," Castle replied, reaching over to her and gently placing his hand on her stomach. He watched his wife intensely while he was sliding over to hold her hip and asked, "And since we're not tired, what do you want to do?"

Beckett smiled after her husband had kissed her briefly and she reached up since he was holding himself a little above her. Gently running her fingertips down his chest, she soon reached his erection and was lightly curling her fingers around him to pull him off of his stomach. "I think you're aware already," she then told him, watching him close his eyes tightly. "And it feels like you want to do the same."

Exhaling hard, Castle forced his eyes open, and he told her, "Of course I do. You're completely naked and… I can see your pussy," looking down at her legs when he realized she had parted them while he'd been taking in the sensation of her hold on him. "But we didn't have much of a sampla," he then told her to try and get his self-control back.

"No, but it's still my birthday," Beckett said, bringing his hand over. She made his take hold of himself, and she said with a smile, "So rub that for a little."

"How much is a little?" Castle asked, his voice slightly strained since she was at that moment fingering the tip of him.

"If I had you come would you be able to fuck me after?" Beckett asked.

Bowing his head for a moment, Castle looked at her again and said, "Whatever you want…"

"You have no idea, do you?" Beckett asked with a smile. When he shook his head and pulled him to her they were kissing tenderly before she told him once they were apart, "I can always help you if needed."

"And you?" Castle asked, letting go of himself and reaching down to her sex.

Sighing deeply in pleasure at the way her husband's fingers were caressing her clit and then entrance, Beckett took a moment longer to reply before she told him, "You can help me."

"Vixen," Castle breathed to her roughly before he was kissing her deeply. After they had parted, he urged her to begin explaining, "I'm not going to get much with you just lying there."

"Liar," Beckett teased him with a smile. That soon fell off her face when her husband was leaning down to her breasts and nuzzling both her nipples before he was parting his lips. Holding onto him tightly when he proceeded to suckle at both, she felt his other hand holding her hip before he was moving up to her lips. When he kissed her tenderly, she was moving to wrap her arms around him tightly and they were involved in that for so long she was panting. She worked to catch her breath so she could speak and told him, "I love you, Rick."

"I love you too," Castle said seriously before he leaned into her. He gave her a brief kiss and gently pulled back to look into her eyes telling her, "Happy Birthday love."

Reaching down to him, Beckett was curling her hand around his length and gently stroked him twice before he was taking her wrists and putting them on either side of her head. "Remember what you just told me," she told him teasingly.

"Oh, I do," Castle replied, letting her go. "But I want to tell you one more thing before we do anything else."

"Go ahead," Beckett said with a smile when he didn't continue.

Leaning down to her, Castle was lightly kissing her before he pulled back enough so their lips were brushing against each other as he told her adoringly, "Goddess."

"Sheik," Beckett replied lovingly before her husband was kissing her deeply. "Rick," she breathed when her husband eventually moved to kiss at her neck and shoulders. "I changed my mind, make love to me?"

"I gcónaí," Castle told her seriously.

Smiling at his tone, Beckett repeated, "I gcónaí my love."

Leaning into each other, Castle and Beckett were kissing once more, but they were slowly moving to couple again and began making love as per her request. They took their time, savoring the feel of their bodies joined in their intimacy while they were touching each other gently. They were aware even while they were going through their ecstasy they wouldn't be stopping for some time in the remaining hours of her birthday, their desire too intense for them to slake just yet.
