Brushing her hair once it was over her shoulder, Beckett looked in the mirror at her husband and said, "What're you doing Rick?"
"Watching you," Castle replied easily. "Which I can do."
Smiling Beckett said, "You can, but stand next to me."
"Creepy?" Castle asked.
"Behind me yes," Beckett replied jokingly. She then said, "Do you think you could do something else?" once he was standing to her right.
"Of course," Castle said.
"Think of something for tonight," Beckett told him.
Hesitating for a moment, Castle said, "For us?"
"For us," Beckett replied with a nod. She then said, "But don't let it distract you," speaking teasingly before her husband was responding swiftly to her surprise.
"Oh don't worry, I'm more interested in the dinner," Castle told her seriously before he smiled. He watched her laugh, feeling a thrill at the sound before she stopped and was speaking as she turned to face him.
"Why does that not surprise me?" Beckett said. "But you'll think of something."
"Sure," Castle said, a little taken aback when his wife was laughing.
When she had calmed down Beckett said, "You already did."
"I may have," Castle replied. Wrapping his arm around her when she leaned against him he wasn't surprised she was laughing again. He pressed a kiss to the side of her head and said, "Later I'm assuming?"
Since she had stopped, Beckett straightened up and said, "Right." She then realized he was staring at her and she grew serious before he leaned into her. Accepting his kiss, she was parting her lips slightly to his searching tongue before he slipped inside further. They spent some time caressing at each other, wrapping their arms tighter around one another. As they parted she was quick to close the gap between them again and while they kissed a second time she gently slid her fingers up his neck and through his hair.
Giggling when her father was moving to kiss at her mother's neck, Josie couldn't help doing so a second time when the two froze. "Hi!" she said happily to them when they turned to her.
"Sweetie," Beckett said, sharing a look with her husband before they let go of each other quickly. She walked over to the toddler and picked her up saying, "How did you get here?"
"Katie?" Jim called into his daughter and son in law's room.
"We have her," Beckett said, walking out. "Did she get away from you?"
"She did," Jim said. "Thank you for not closing the door."
"You're welcome," Castle said. "Thank you for getting her ready."
Nodding Jim said, "I did that first. That's how she slipped out of my room."
"Are you finished?" Beckett asked him.
"Not yet," Jim replied.
"Go, we're going to be busy tonight," Beckett replied.
After his father in law had left, Castle turned to his wife and asked, "Are we getting the gifts now?"
"They're fine in the office until we exchange gifts," Beckett told him before she took his hand and squeezed at it to draw him after her. They went downstairs together and once they were in the kitchen she wasn't surprised when he was trying to look into the warming oven where their food was.
"What?" Castle asked laughingly when she slapped at his arm lightly.
"You'll find out in a little bit," Beckett told him, speaking as he had.
"Is he peeking?" Lily asked, walking down to them.
"He is," Castle said before his wife could say anything. He wasn't surprised when she was rolling her eyes before they could hear people going up or down stairs.
Once everyone was in the kitchen, Beckett was getting the food with Lily's help, letting the chef explain the dishes she'd ordered brought from her restaurant.
"A lot of places are bringing in more vegetarian options," Lily began with, setting down two trays. "So we've been planning to put these on the menu."
"Are we Guinea pigs?" Paul asked.
"That would be nice," Lily said with a smile. "No, we've tried these, but no one in my kitchen is vegetarian so I hope you won't mind if I ask you to give me your honest opinions."
"Us too?" Reiley asked.
"That would be great," Lily said, nodding her head firmly. "And hopefully everyone else will enjoy." She smiled when they were all saying they would before she said, "Then we can eat!"
Since the plates were next to the trays of food, the kids and parents of the youngest eating solid food were stepping up first. Lily explained each dish and once the first kids were starting they were talking together and moving quickly to get their food.
Sitting with the other adults at the dining room table, Beckett got some meatless meatloaf on her fork and ate it. Once she had finished it she said to her friend, "Do you want us to tell you what with think with each dish or at the end?"
"At the end," Lily replied.
"Are you going to write it down at all?" Alasdhair asked.
"I don't think I'll need to," Lily said with a slight laugh. "But at least you aren't spitting everything out."
Nodding in agreement when the others were telling her they wouldn't, Castle checked on Josie at the same time as his wife. "She doesn't seem to mind," he told her.
"No, remember she loves carrots," Beckett said.
"And sweet potatoes," Castle added since there were two purees of the vegetables.
"Not with your fingers," Beckett told her firmly, the toddler trying to pick some up. She wasn't surprised when Josie moved her fork to the plate and she said, "Thank you sweetie," before she was looking over at Nancy who was getting their attention.
"You never told us what the plan was for tomorrow," the singer's wife said with a smile.
"Well, would you mind shopping at all? Being outside?" Castle asked.
"Shopping?" Stella asked, a little surprised hearing the hesitation in the writer's voice.
"Tomorrow was a little up in the air," Beckett said, smiling at her husband. She then turned back to the others and said, "We would like to take you downtown and show you around if that's alright."
"That's where the shopping comes in," Paul stated. "You'll like it," he told his daughter and son in law.
"Boutiques?" Stella then asked.
"And a few other stores," Brad said. "Do you want to ask?"
Laughing, Alasdhair said, "I don't know if they would want to go."
"To the station?" Lily asked her husband, obviously startled.
"It was more of an off hand comment," Alasdhair said quickly. "I think the boys would enjoy seeing it."
"I don't know," Brad said.
"The shooting-" Castle started to say.
"Shooting?" Stella asked in surprise.
"It's where we all practice," Beckett explained.
"I never take anyone in there who isn't an officer… or my consultant," Brad started to say. "If an officer is going to be firing there."
"I don't know," Stella said, sharing a look with her husband.
"Then I think we'll skip that," Beckett said.
"True," Castle said. "Downtown?" When he got nods from the others he said, "Great then we'll go there."
"Anything else?" Paul asked in surprise.
"To be honest that was it," Castle said, looking at Clara as she was speaking a little slowly to them all.
"I wonder about the bowling lanes," the woman said, looking at everyone.
"She's right," Beckett said, looking at her husband.
"Miller mentioned he and his siblings would like to try it," Stella said.
"They could have mentioned it to us," Castle said with a smile.
"He's right, we would have been fine with adding that to our plans," Beckett said. She paused for a moment before she then said, "Like we are now."
"And anything else your kids want to do," Castle added in a rush. He smiled when the others were laughing before they went back to their food and started to eat again.
"What do you think?" Bailey asked Mari.
Laughing, the girl lowered the top she'd been holding up to look at and said, "You think your mom wouldn't make it perfectly?"
"Just wondering," Bailey replied.
"It's a beautiful fabric," Mari said. "And the silhouette is perfect too."
"Thanks, I picked that out for you," Reiley told her.
"Oh, thank you," Mari said, turning to her and smiling.
"Julia's too," Reiley added.
"Believe me, mine is perfect too," Julia said with a wide smile since she had been gifted a sweater with a horse on it. It went to the bottom of its neck and its mane was blowing in the wind. "Though I can imagine it wasn't that hard to choose," she said to her before the girl was responding with a laugh.
"Not really, I just asked Mum what she had that was horses for you," Reiley replied since they'd exchanged gifts and were putting away what they'd gotten. "But she did say that one would be better for you, the colors and everything."
Nodding Julia said, "Are you guys ready to go back downstairs?" She smiled when everyone said yes before they were leaving her bedroom and she said, "I'm surprised you don't want to do something like play board games after today."
"Actually," Marie said slowly, sharing a smile with her twin.
"Are your mums going to sing?" Bailey asked.
"Yeah, what we don't know but maybe your grandfather will sing too," Kathleen commented as they were heading down the stairs. "If he wants to," she was quick to add.
"He will if Skye and Mary do," Reiley said.
"Do what?" Mary asked while the girls were walking into the family room.
"Sing," Marie said before anyone else could answer that.
Laughing from the piano Skye said, "We were forced to."
"Don't look at me," Paul said in feigned defense. He then said behind the girls, "Come inside, we'll head to the game room after we're done here."
"Though we could just go to the game room right now," Skye said. She laughed when the kids were protesting, especially her daughters, and she hurried to calm them before saying, "Don't worry, I'll be singing for sure."
"So will I," Paul commented when he saw the way Julia was looking at him. "Right now?" he then directed to the McDouglas women.
"Yes," Skye said, exaggerating her voice before she stood up. Grabbing her electric guitar, she put it over her shoulder and asked Paul, "You're okay with this?"
"I told you," the singer said firmly. "I'd like a rest."
Laughing, since he had moved to sit on the bench for the piano, Skye said, "At least you're not making us do this on our own."
"I did say I wouldn't mind," Paul said wryly.
"We do," Skye told him teasingly. She smiled when he was nodding and she then said, "Should we start?"
"We should," Paul said with a nod before he and the investigator were looking at her wife.
"I'm ready," Mary replied. "Start us out Skye."
Nodding, the investigator was starting to play the song and she and Mary were watching Paul when he started to sing, joining in at the chorus after the first verse.
I know there must be other ways of feeling free
But this is what I wanna do, who I wanna be
Every time I try, I feel like I can fly
But I know that I could die trying
I'm sliding, gliding through the air
I can see my body through windows in my hair
I'm sliding, gliding through the air
I know nobody's dancing here but us dragonflies
We're the only ones awake, we own the skies
Every time I try, I feel like I can fly
But I know that I could die trying
I'm sliding, gliding through the air
I can see my body through windows in my hair
I'm sliding, gliding through the air
Watching Skye while she was playing the guitar for a solo, Beckett smiled seeing the kids were swaying back and forth with each other since the music wasn't exactly right for faster dancing. She then turned her attention back to the three performing since they were singing the last chorus.
I'm sliding, gliding through the air
I can see my body through windows in my hair
I'm sliding, gliding through the air
I can see my body through windows in my hair
"Thank you," Skye said after she had stopped and taken off her guitar to applause. She smiled and said, "Now the game room." When her three younger daughters hurried up to her she laughed and said, "You lot are terrible."
"And you're on your own," Paul said, standing up. "Recommend a good one for her," he told the kids with a smile.
Holding up her hand before the kids could speak Skye said, "I already have a song in mind," not surprised hers and Mary's oldest was first to respond.
"You don't need us to suggest one?" Marie asked.
"No," Skye said. "Should I start?" she asked the others with a smile. She laughed briefly when they were saying yes in some way and then told them, "Okay, then just… listen."
Beckett shared a confused look with her husband before Mary was starting the music and she was turning her head rapidly to the investigator as she recognized the song instantly.
Holding her hand out to her friend, Skye smiled briefly before she turned her attention to her wife and the song, singing with Mary joining her as backup.
The machine of a dream
Such a clean machine
With the pistons a-pumping
And the hubcaps all gleam
When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When my hand's on your grease gun
Oh, it's like a disease son
I'm in love with my car
Got to feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer roll bar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal
Told my girl I'll have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburetor
So, she made tracks
Saying, "This is the end now
Cars don't talk back
They're just four-wheeled friends, now"
When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When I'm cruising in overdrive
Don't have to listen
To no run-of-the-mill talk jive
I'm in love with my car (Ooh, I'm in love with my car)
Got to feel for my automobile (Ooh)
I'm in love with my car (Ooh, I'm in love with my car)
String back gloves
In my automolove (Ooh)
Looking at Beckett when she sat next to her in the family room Skye said, "I had the feeling Bernard wanted to hear the song."
"I had the feeling it was that too," Beckett replied after a brief pause. She then said, "He liked the song."
"That and Wild Blue Yonder," Skye replied. "I sang that for him at Reno when I'd see him," she added with a smile. She took the strap of her guitar off her shoulder and said, "And teased him since he was never in the Air Force."
"I don't think he needed to be to enjoy that," Mary said, standing in the doorway of the room.
"I'm fine," Skye said, making a brief face at her wife as she and Beckett stood. "I just wanted to make sure my guitar was good."
"Great, but everyone's gone to bed and we're the only ones up," Mary said.
"Along with me," Castle said, coming up behind the doctor.
"Yeah, we're going right now," Skye said, having been staring at her wife intently. She strode to her purposely and took her hand before they were saying goodnight to the writers and leaving them in the room.
"You're not going to make a comment about that are you?" Beckett asked when she reached her husband.
"No, I came to get you myself," Castle replied, reaching out to her and taking her hand carefully. He was relieved when she entwined their fingers and moved to lead the way out to the hall so they could make their way up to their room before he let her go and closed and locked the door. Turning to her he was about to speak before she was doing so swiftly as she held his gaze.
"You said you thought of something," Beckett said. She felt herself tensing at the sight of her husband's eyes literally darkening in front of her before he took the few steps needed to reach her.
"I did, but the question is do you want to start," Castle replied, pulling her into his arms. He held her tighter against him and said, "Though I think I know the answer."
"You do," Beckett replied with a slight smile before her husband was closing the gap between them. Accepting his lips eagerly, she parted hers fully for him and was soon caressing at his tongue as his was doing to her. After they'd been doing that for a while they were slowly parting, panting a little before she told him, "Now?"
"Yeah," Castle said, moving his right arm to her waist and holding onto her. He pulled her over to their bed and turned to her before he said, "Follow me?"
"Of course," Beckett replied, smiling at him.
Feeling a thrill go through him, Castle leaned into her and was kissing her tenderly before they were parting and he reached for the bottom of her sweater. Pulling it up over her head he wasn't surprised when she didn't move, and he undressed her very carefully until she was naked. "I'm guessing your request," he told her.
"Are we reading each other's minds?" Beckett said with a slight smirk. When her husband's response was to lean into her and brush his lips to her she was quick to do the same to him. Allowing him to help her on top of their bed she said, "Though next time I'm undressing you."
"Whatever you want," Castle said, reaching for the bottom of his sweater.
Staring at him while he was undressing, Beckett eventually said to him while he joined her on the bed, "There's something else." At his hesitation she said, "My new jewelry?"
"Yeah," Castle replied before she was surprising him with an intense kiss before she pulled away to speak.
"Go get it," Beckett told him. She watched him move to get up and hurried onto her knees to continue to ogle him before he was stepping out into the bedroom with the box in his hands.
"Staring?" Castle asked her.
"Of course," Beckett said firmly, moving to sit again so she could switch her jewelry. After she had him clasp the diamond and aquamarine bracelet around her wrist last she told him, "Do you want to do anything beforehand?"
"I kind of would," Castle said firmly. He couldn't help smiling at her surprise because of his tone and then told her, "You read my mind, even if you want to ignore that."
Beckett rolled her eyes, though she was smiling at the same time, and she reached for her husband, pulling him to her for a kiss. They were doing so passionately, and she moaned into his mouth while he was running his hands down her sides. When he held her at her breasts she pulled away and laid down, drawing him to her before he was kissing around her mounds. Sighing at his gentleness at first, she was shortly after biting her lower lip when his right hand was reaching up to her and fondling the mound he wasn't at. "Rick," she breathed out to him.
Not moving from what he was doing, Castle eventually began suckling at her nipples, still fondling her until he was moving back. "Kate," he breathed, seeing her holding herself tense. The diamonds and aquamarines at her neck were shining in the lights of the room and her eyes were slowly opening. The nearly black pools her eyes had become made him move to kiss her and after they were apart again he told her, "I want to pleasure you."
"Let me do the same," Beckett said immediately before she took another kiss from him. When they were far enough apart again she told him, "Not at the same time," before he was shaking his head and speaking firmly.
"Not that, I'd like to focus on you," Castle said. He brushed his lips to hers and then said, "And your pussy." He tensed immediately when her hand was trailing down his chest before he told her, "What're you doing?"
"While I'm glad you're taking charge," Beckett told him, smirking when her husband frowned. "I would like to have something myself," she continued with before she was crying out in shock at her husband flipping them around so she was above him. Smirking again she leaned down to him and was kissing him passionately before she moved to his chest.
Feeling his wife kissing her way down on him, Castle held her but did his best not to stop her. When she was nearing his length he was relieved she pulled away but soon tried to stop her as she caressed his chest. "You can't-" he started to say.
"Don't worry," Beckett said with a smile at his concern. She took his hands that had reached up to stop her and she kissed at the palms before adding, "That was all I wanted."
"Really? Because if you want more I'm happy to let you-" Castle began before his wife was interrupting him yet again. As she immediately lowered her head to him he was holding to her tightly in time for her to begin sucking at his left nipple. Hissing when she nipped at both once she'd sucked his right, he said, "Kate, we need to-" groaning at being interrupted by her yet again.
"If you flip me around we can start," Beckett said, her tone of voice becoming amused at the end because of his groan. "Sorry," she told him. She cried out again when he was doing as she'd suggested and then began to laugh. "You're-" before he was kissing her passionately. She froze for a moment, then shook herself and wrapped her arms and legs around him. The latter she had about him loosely but the former she was holding onto him tightly as they dueled hungrily. Their tongues were wrapped around each other and when they needed to breathe she gasped out, "You wouldn't want… to just take me?"
"No," Castle said firmly against her neck as he'd been kissing around there. He pulled back enough to look at her and said, "You want me to take charge." Seeing the way she was biting at her lower lip, he kissed her as soon as she had let it go from between her teeth. "Goddess," he breathed to her as he stared into her eyes. Before she could speak he was moving, kissing around her aquamarine pendant and moving lower.
Letting out a soft gasp every time her husband's lips pressed to her, Beckett told him, "Don't stop."
"Here?" Castle asked before he was nuzzling at her left breast. When she nodded he said, "Don't stop me." Seeing in her imploring gaze what she wanted, he slapped firmly at the side of her thigh and delighting in her cry of obvious pleasure. He then kissed heatedly over her breasts before he was moving to her nipples, suckling them in turn though he wasn't lingering. Moving to kiss his way down her chest and to her stomach, he paused at her sex and looked up at his wife before she was imploring him while she was gently running her fingers through his hair.
"Please start love, I don't want to wait anymore," Beckett told him seriously. She wasn't surprised when he leaned into her and kissed her before they parted and she looked on while he was trailing down her body slowly. She closed her eyes tightly at the feeling of his lips pressing until he was finally at her mound and she bit at her lower lip before he gently flicked his tongue at her clit. Gasping, she did her best not to jerk away from him before he wrapped his arms around her legs and was holding her in place.
Kissing a few more times, Castle moved down to her folds and delighted in the taste there since he found them slick with her arousal. He was soon plunging his tongue into her and feeling as if his taste buds were exploding. He pushed aside his own desire and was working to stimulate her as much as he could. Hearing her vocal reactions he could gauge where she was and for a while alternated between going rapidly and slowing down.
"Oh… Rick I'm… going to come…" Beckett moaned to him heavily while she was arching her back and writhing. She wasn't surprised when he didn't stop but was very quickly distracted before she was orgasming. It hit her hard and she thought she was moving around on the bed though when she started to calm down she realized he had held her securely in place. Shuddering in joy when she felt him very gently lapping at her, her breathing very slowly calming before she said, "Rick?"
"Yeah, sorry," Castle said, moving quickly away from her.
Smiling while she looked down at him, Beckett said, "I was going to tell you to take it easy doing that."
"You mean I didn't have to stop?" Castle asked, exaggerating his tone of voice. He felt a thrill at her laughter before he moved to kiss her, pleased when she was responding to him eagerly. They were kissing for a while before he ended it after her hand was grasping him firmly. "Already?" he nearly gasped out.
"You want foreplay?" Beckett teased him. She wasn't surprised when he groaned in pleasure and made him move out of her way before she said, "This was your idea."
"You know how it is when there's no warning," Castle gasped out to her.
"Then you want me to stop," Beckett stated. She tried not to laugh when her husband was making a face at her briefly before she said, "Then lay down all the way."
About to speak, Castle glanced down at himself before he realized he was still sitting and said, "All the way."
"Just lay down," Beckett told him firmly. She looked on while he was doing so rapidly and she smiled before she moved to sit on her knees in between his legs. "You're okay?" she then inquired as she watched him reaching out to her.
"Isn't that what I need to ask you?" Castle asked her slowly.
Smiling again Beckett told him, "I want to make sure." She wasn't surprised when her husband drew her to him for a kiss and they were doing so deeply before they were slowly parting. "Are you going to let me?" she asked him teasingly.
"I promised you," Castle said, a little startled when she looked at him doubtfully. "What?" he asked.
"You didn't," Beckett said simply.
Sighing, Castle said, "Then I am now. Just… start okay?"
Beckett didn't respond, instead leaned down to him and brushed her lips to her husband's before she moved. Kissing at his chest, she moved in a straight line until she was at his length. Picking it up, she pressed a kiss to the tip of him before she studied her husband's expression closely. Using that to see where he was in his arousal she lowered her head down on him, hearing him groaning above her.
Castle tried to keep watching his wife but he was overwhelmed by her stimulation of him while she was raising and lowering her head. "Kate… I'm not going to last," he told her.
Hearing her husband's apologetic undercurrent to his tone, Beckett glanced up at him briefly before she focused on how she was moving over him. After a while she went to the tip of him and focused there before she realized he was nearing the edge.
Wanting to warn his wife, Castle was unable to do so since his climax was hitting him hard and he was doing his best not to thrust up into his wife's mouth. It was difficult as the pleasure was rushing through his entire body. He was a little lost in the sensation before his body stopped fully and he was relaxed before he said, "Good enough?"
Pulling away after she'd pressed a kiss to the tip of him, Beckett laid against his side and said, "We don't always have to have penetration."
"Why do I get the feeling there's more to it than that," Castle said.
"I'm not going to schedule it right now," Beckett replied, shifting against his side. "But next time."
"I'm fine with that," Castle replied, feeling her immediately shaking in her laughter. "Not surprised?"
"No," Beckett said in amusement. "But I'm glad you agree."
"How am I not going to?" Castle said. When she merely laughed briefly he hugged her to him and brushed a kiss to her hair before she was murmuring.
"Do you want to sleep yet?" Beckett asked.
"Not really," Castle replied before he looked down at her. "Do you?" he then asked. When she smiled at him he was leaning down to her, capturing her lips with his to instigate a sensuous kiss. Feeling her wrapping her other arm around him he placed his not under her around her waist and gently cupped his hand over ass before he squeezed.
Though she hadn't wanted to, Beckett ended the kiss with her groan of pleasure at his touch before she said, "Are you still taking charge?"
"Oh no, I'm done," Castle said, smiling when she laughed before he kissed at her neck gently a few times. "What did you have in mind?" he then asked her when he pulled away. He tensed immediately when his wife was smiling at him and he watched her moving away to get up on her knees.
"Do you want me to tell you? You mentioned earlier you didn't want to be surprised," Beckett teased him.
"Vixen," Castle groaned to her. "No, just… do what you want to."
"Are you begrudging me that?" Beckett asked, unable to help it since she'd heard it slightly in his tone.
"No, I'm just jealous I didn't move first," Castle said, his tone of voice changing when she climbed on top of him, straddling him. "Though this isn't bad."
"Pervert," Beckett told him teasingly. When he nodded she then said, "Could you sit up?"
Doing so instantly, Castle was about to wrap his arms around her when she was stopping him and was about to protest when he realized what she wanted. Leaning back on his hands he warned her, "I might fall back."
"That's alright," Beckett replied before she was taking his member off of his stomach carefully. She leaned into him and brushed her lips to his briefly before she raised herself up. When she had lowered herself slightly she used her hand to nestle him in her folds. She squeezed her legs enough to hold him and wasn't surprised when he was holding her waist with one hand before she began to gently rock on him. She moaned while he was groaning in pleasure when he started to move and she gasped.
"I'm not going to stop Kate," Castle told her, nearly forcing the words out since he was trying to withstand the stimulation between them.
"Don't," Beckett managed to say. She then reached for him and held onto his shoulders to help her go a little faster. She was slick from her own arousal but was relieved he was remaining in between her legs since she didn't want to have to put him back. Though she was feeling a great deal of pleasure from the friction against her entrance and clit, she did her best to keep an eye on her husband. But just when she was getting a hint her husband was nearing his climax she had to stop and move again.
"You're-" Castle started to say before he was holding onto her hip hard when she raised herself above him. As she lowered herself on him once the tip was inside of her he was cursing in Irish since she was still moist. He had sat up and was holding onto her with both hands before her hips were pressing against his. Watching her as she rocked on him, he said, "Don't stop now."
"I won't," Beckett breathed before she leaned into him. They kissed but it didn't last for long before she was moving back, angling her hips down. She just managed to get her clit to rub against his skin and she gasped his name before she began to bounce.
"Kate… love come… please," Castle groaned to her, holding her against him a little more than he had before.
"I am… oh… Rick I'm coming! I… I love you!" Kate started to say before everything tightly coiled within her seemed to explode and she was crying out. She was pleased when he was joining her, her name leaving his lips in a near shout and she could feel his release filling her along with his length. She did her best to keep moving since he was, but when her ecstasy ran down, she held him tightly feeling him continuing to move.
Giving one last thrust up, though he couldn't move that much, Castle was nearly panting before he told her, "I'm done."
Smiling, Beckett turned her head and kissed at the side of his before she told him, "I can feel that. Do you mind?"
"Does it feel like I did?" Castle immediately asked, feeling strong enough to move while he ran his hands over her back.
"Hmm, no," Beckett replied before she was carefully getting off of him. Once she was she laid down in the middle of the bed as her husband moved to lay on his side before she was stopping him.
"Your mirror?" Castle asked before his wife could say anything. At her nod he climbed over her though he made sure to press against her as much as he could before he could reach for the drawer on her nightstand.
"Thank you," Beckett said, parting her legs as much as she could before she took the mirror and placed it between them. Seeing his release oozing out of her slowly she said, "Did I ever tell you I did this when we first started?"
"No," Castle said in a little shock. "But not often," he then said, not surprised when she was nodding before she spoke with a smile on her face.
"It was when we were at my place… a week or so after my suspension started," Beckett explained. "You were the first man I'd ever had come in me remember and I did wonder what it looked like."
"Where was I?" Castle asked, glancing at the reflection of her sex before she was moving the mirror. He watched her setting it aside before he said, "Seriously, I was there right?"
"You needed to be," Beckett replied in amusement. She took his brief kiss and told him, "You were asleep, I wasn't sure I wanted to explain why I was doing that."
"You could have told me then I was the only man to make you come," Castle told her swiftly.
Nodding briefly Beckett said, "I told you two weeks later."
"Yes," Castle said, speaking absently since he was at that moment running his hand across her stomach. Relishing the warmth of her skin along with how soft it was he said, "Do we need to stop?"
"That would probably be for the best," Beckett said, reaching up and taking his hands with both of hers. "And before you ask about tomorrow night, let's wait until we're back here to see how we feel."
Nodding Castle hesitated for a moment before he said, "I better go."
"You'll be right back," Beckett said, sitting up as he was doing. She grabbed the covers from the bottom of the bed when he moved to turn off the lights and she said, "And it'll be warmer now."
"Cold?" Castle asked her.
"I was going to ask you," Beckett said, watching him walking to the bed once he was finished. She held the covers up for him and said, "Do you think you're going to want anything tomorrow."
Pausing while he was taking off his glasses, Castle looked at his wife in surprise and said, "You… are you serious?"
"Of course," Beckett replied. "We've been busy."
Studying her Castle said, "You're not sure about yourself."
"I am tired," Beckett told him with a smile before he leaned into her and she was responding to his kiss. They were gentle and once they were parting she said, "But don't worry, I don't want to shut out the possibility," not surprised when he was responding at the same time he pulled her on his lap.
"There's something more to this," Castle commented. He was a little startled when she leaned against him and murmured into his ear. Tensing at her asking him to remain in her the next night if they did make love, he asked, "The entire time?"
"Talking about my suspension reminded me," Beckett replied, pulling away to speak at a normal volume and while she was looking at him.
"While I like the idea you know it's not going to work anymore," Castle said. He was about to speak again when he paused and then asked her with a frown, "Did you do that on purpose?"
"A little," Beckett said, laughing when he was kissing at her neck abruptly. She eventually made him stop before they were exchanging a kiss that was brief. "Though I'd like something close to that."
Castle thought that over for a moment before he said, "Then we're not going to uncouple… unless the position calls for it."
Beckett was smiling before she kissed him by brushing her lips to his and said, "Thank you. Do you know what you want?"
"Not yet," Castle said. "Surprising I know," he said jokingly when she gave him an exaggerated look. They kissed again, gently, before they parted and he said, "I love you."
"I love you too Rick," Beckett said before he was kissing her deeply. She responded eagerly until they were parting and pressing their foreheads against each other. "Sheik," she murmured against his lips.
"Goddess," Castle said, running his hands over her back slowly.
"Take me my love," Beckett urged him, sliding off of his lap and taking his hand. She was pleased when he followed her until he was nestled between her legs and sliding inside of her slowly before they began to make love.
Castle and Beckett went to sleep after that bout, exhausted but pleased at their ecstasy they had shared. And though they were hoping they would be together the next night; they had a feeling it was going to happen since they felt they were nowhere near satiated and needed much more of each other.
