A/N #1: It was great getting the feedback for the last chapter so I'll start my thank yous for that! TORONTOSUN (I was glad that you thought the songs in the last chapter were very good. Really nice to see you liked the Queen song, that one's one of my favorites of theirs actually, so I was pleased you enjoyed that one!) and
Mb (Was pleased to read you thought excursion was a great one, looked like it would be good for all of them! Not surprised you're jealous, lol, I was too writing it. And I've been on one cruise myself, ages ago to where it wasn't as inclusive as a lot of liners are now. But Disney has for all ages definitely I was able to find out with my research writing this one! And I'm glad you thought it was fun seeing the younger kids' personalities coming out with the trip since they're able to join the others too! You're welcome for the first half of the chapter! Really nice to see you thought the second half was wonderfully written too! I was glad you loved them together for dinner and getting ready for the movie. The same with the dancing to Skye and Mary singing, along with as you said the romance of it with the captain and his wife. It was nice to read you thought it was sweet with Eve and Peter deepening their relationship. And I was really glad that you enjoyed Castle and Beckett having their own entertainment in passion and love as you put it! You're welcome for the second half of the chapter!).
Thanks for the reviews, love reading them and I appreciate the time taken to write them out and send them my way!
A/N #2: The title of this chapter is a lyric from the song La Isla Bonita written by Madonna, Patrick Leonard and Bruce Gaitsch, from the Madonna album True Blue.
Wild And Free
"Wow," Josie said, looking around the beach.
"Yeah," Sophie said, standing with her and holding her hand. "Go to the water?" she asked.
"Okay," Josie said eagerly before they were turning and running to their parents.
"Hold on," Julia said, grabbing her sister. "What're you doing?"
"I want to swim," Josie said firmly.
"We will," Beckett said, walking over from where they had set up chairs and blankets in the shade of trees on Magens Bay Beach. She picked Josie up and said, "But you need your vest first remember." She tried not to laugh when the toddler blew a raspberry and kissed her cheek telling her, "Stay with your sisters okay?"
"Okay," Josie said with a sigh before she was set down. After she could she hurried to her sister and took her hand saying, "Take me?"
"Oh no," Eliza replied laughingly. "I'm not getting in trouble."
"We're almost finished," Castle said, having been listening to them. "And then we'll go with you Josie."
"We're going with our friends," Julia said with a smile when the toddler was looking at herself and Eliza. "But we'll swim with you soon."
"Good," Josie said sternly, going over to their parents.
"She reminds me of Mommy," Eliza whispered to her sister.
"I know," Julia replied, doing her best not to laugh.
"Okay," Castle said eventually when they had their area they'd picked for the excursion set up. "We can swim and we'll have lunch at eleven." He wasn't surprised when the kids headed for the beach, while Josie went to him and tugged on his hand.
"Hold on," Beckett said, having seen the toddler. "We'll leave right now. I just needed to change into my water shoes."
"You'll be alright here?" Nkosi asked his parents while his husband was taking their kids.
"Very," Bethany said in amusement, looking over at her husband in the chair next to her. He'd settled back and placed his hat over his face and she then told her son, "Go with the children."
"I could have told you that," Darnley told his husband with a smile when the investigator had reached them.
"I have to make sure," Nkosi said.
"Hey!" Darnley said laughingly when he felt something splashing him.
"Sorry, she's eager to get in," Castle said, picking up Josie as she'd been jumping on the clear water. "Remember what we told you about being careful?"
"I'm happy Dada," Josie told him.
"Well… I don't think I can argue with that," Castle commented to his wife.
"I'm not surprised," Beckett said wryly. She then took Josie's other hand once her husband had set her down and she told her, "Do you think you can walk with us?"
"Yeah," Josie said eagerly. She followed her parents' lead further into the water and looked around at the land on either side of them. "A pocket?" she said suddenly.
"A pocket?" Castle asked in surprise. "What- wait do you mean the land here on either side of us?" he then said once he realized. At the toddler's nod he smiled and said, "It's called a bay, not a pocket."
"Bay," Josie echoed.
"Exactly," Castle said before he looked at his wife when she was laughing briefly.
"Why is it you always manage to give her a lesson when we're on vacation?" Beckett asked teasingly.
"I can't help it," Castle said after he had paused for a moment. He wasn't surprised when his wife laughed briefly before they were stepping in further and soon helping Josie to swim.
"Are you going to snorkel here?" Mari was asking Julia after they'd been swimming near the shore for a while.
"I'd love to," the teen said firmly. "I'm just wondering if I'm going to get tired of it."
"Huh?" Mari asked.
"Sorry, I was kind of looking over there," Julia said honestly, pointing out a private ship to their right.
"What, you want to go on there?" Jacob asked as he'd swum up to them in time to hear.
"No, just wondering about them," Julia replied as she rolled her eyes. She then shook her head and looking at the two said, "Must be fun to do that."
"Couldn't your dad do that?" Mari asked as Jacob went under the water and swam away from them.
"I don't know," Julia said honestly. "I never asked about his money… our money," she corrected herself. "Their money?"
Mari couldn't help laughing at Julia's confusion before she squeezed at her hand and asked, "Want to go snorkeling now?"
"Yeah, but we probably won't be able to go on our own," Julia said.
"We can't," Marie said, stopping with her twin by them. "Our mums said if we go in a group they'll let us."
"All our parents will probably say that," Julia commented. "We better go and ask."
After the group of older kids had gotten their permission to go together out further, they grabbed their equipment and made their way through the water.
"Okay, everyone know the hand signals?" Jacob asked jokingly.
"Just snorkel Jake," Eve said in mock annoyance.
Laughing briefly, the young man was soon doing that with the others and they were swimming underneath the water in pairs until they were circling back and resurfacing.
"Whoa, I didn't think we'd gone that far," Clive said as they were looking around themselves.
"I don't see anyone waving at us," Kathleen said slowly.
"How could we? We're nearly miles away," Marie told her sister.
"I think you make a good point though," Eve said.
"Do we need to go back?" Peter asked her.
"Yeah, I don't want to think about us being in trouble," Eve replied before they were putting their snorkels back on.
"I think they are returning," Bethany said to Jim as she and her husband were walking up to where he stood.
"I was ready to swim out there," Beckett's father replied.
"Would your daughter let you?" Joseph asked.
"Maybe," Jim replied before he smiled when the couple was laughing. He then saw she was walking up to him with Josie and he asked, "You two want to head out?"
"We do," Beckett said, letting him take the toddler's hand. "It's almost time for lunch."
"Alright, I'll take her in," Jim said while his daughter was walking past them and going to where their things were.
After she had the equipment, Beckett turned and saw her husband was with her father, talking to Josie. "Everything okay?" she asked when she'd reached them.
"Yeah, Josie looked like she was having a little trouble so I wanted to check on her," Castle explained.
"She wanted to go out with you," Jim said to his daughter.
"I'm not surprised," Beckett said with a smile. She then turned to Josie and said, "We'll take you when we're finished remember sweetie. And then we'll eat lunch."
"Okay," the toddler said softly. She was startled when her mother tilted her head up to her and said, "Sorry?"
"That would be nice," Beckett told her with a smile. "Do you mean it?" She did her best not laugh at the way her daughter was nodding rapidly and she said, "Good, swim with your grandpapa and we'll pick you up when we're done."
After Josie had nodded, Castle moved with her further into the water before they were putting on their fins. Swimming out to deeper water he said when the older kids were nearing them, "Lunch is going to be soon."
"Do we really have to leave at three?" Kathleen asked.
"Yeah, the ship is leaving at three forty-five today," Castle replied. He wasn't surprised when all of the kids were groaning before he and Beckett were continuing out to where they could submerge under the blue waters.
"I don't know why," Julia was saying to Mari. "But even this sandwich tastes great."
Giggling, the girl said, "Isn't it the sea air?"
"Probably," Julia said with a shrug. They were sitting in the shade at the end of the blankets and chairs on their own and she said, "Why are we alone?"
"Well… not all the way," Mari said, looking back at the others who weren't very far.
"Excuse me," a voice suddenly said, making the girls turn to find it was a boy around Jacob's age. "Hey, you're that dancer aren't you? Julia Castle?"
"Yes," Julia said cautiously.
"Would you mind signing this for me?" the young man asked, holding out a piece of paper and pen.
"No," Julia said though she was a little tense. As she was signing her name she realized Mari had grown tense next to her and she was about to ask what was wrong when the young man was speaking.
"My name is Allen and I noticed you on the ship," he said. "Would you like to get a smoothie or ice cream with me on board?"
"I can't," Julia said, handing back the paper and pen he'd given her. "I'm with my family, this is our trip together."
"Not even just for a drink? I'd love to get to know-" Allen started to say.
"Julia?" Beckett called as she walked over to them. "Are you guys finished?"
Before she could answer, Julia felt even more relief when the young man's mother was calling to him and he hurried away. She looked at Mari and said, "Safe."
"I know, he was starting to look at me when you first answered him," the girl said.
"Ugh," Julia said in disgust, shaking her head. She realized something and said, "Not that-"
"Don't worry, I got what you meant," Mari said with a smile. "And I was grossed out too."
"Are you two okay?" Beckett asked, having been waiting by them.
"Oh, sorry Mom," Julia said, she and Mari getting up quickly.
"It's alright, I wanted to make sure you two were alright," Beckett told them.
"We are," Julia said. She then said, "You noticed?"
"It wasn't hard to," Beckett said. "Are you going to go back in?"
"Yeah, just to our waists though, like we agreed," Julia said, seeing her friend nodding in agreement to her left.
"Good, we'll let you know when you can go swimming again," Beckett told her.
"Are you going in the water again?" Julia asked as Mari was heading over to her family.
"Not yet, I want to make sure Josie gets to sleep," Beckett explained.
"Will she wake up before we have to go?" Julia asked.
"An hour before I think," Beckett answered. She wasn't surprised when her second oldest nodded before she was leaving to go with her friends to the water. She took the girls' trash back to where her husband had a bag and said, "She's fine."
"She is," Castle said immediately.
"Now you admit it," Beckett told him teasingly.
"I wanted to be absolutely sure," Castle replied. "And I would have if you'd have let me go over to her." He saw the look on her face and said, "Okay, then never mind."
Beckett couldn't help laughing before she turned her attention to their youngest as she was trying to get out of her grandmother's hold. "Josie," she said simply, holding back a smile at how quickly the toddler froze. "Will you walk on the sand with your daddy and I?" she then asked once the girl was looking at herself and Castle.
"Okay," Josie replied softly before she walked to her mother once she was let go. "Hold my hand too Daddy," she told him firmly.
"Of course," Castle replied, doing his best not to laugh at the toddler's tone of voice. Once he had taken Josie's hand they were walking together along the beach and he wasn't surprised when Josie started trying to skip, or when eventually the toddler was slowing down and soon after stopping before he glanced at his wife.
After Beckett nodded to her husband, she let go of Josie's hand to allow him to pick their youngest up. She was able to see when the toddler was falling asleep shortly after that and they returned to their things so he could drop her off with his mother. "What would you like to do now?" she asked him when he had joined her.
"Go in," Castle commented simply.
"Do you want to snorkel at all?" Beckett asked wryly.
"Not yet," Castle replied. "But I'd like to go over and see how Julia's doing." When his wife gave him a look he was speaking rapidly, "Not to bug her about that kid though."
"Are you sure?" Beckett asked seriously.
"I am… why don't we swim with the girls?" Castle told her.
"We'll see what Julia says," Beckett replied before they were walking over to Julia and Mari who were standing waist deep nearby.
"Hey Mom, Dad," Julia said before they were turning to Rebecca who was calling her daughter.
"I'll be back," Mari said swiftly before she left them hurriedly.
Turning back to her parents Julia said, "I'm fine, that boy was annoying but he's staying away."
"I wasn't going to ask that," Castle said. He wasn't surprised when Julia was glancing at him and he said hurriedly, "I swear I wasn't, I thought of us swimming together with your sister."
"He was going to ask subtly right?" Julia asked her mother.
Beckett was tempted to laugh at the look of consternation on her husband's face but managed not to before she said, "It's likely. But would you like to swim with us?"
"Sure," Julia said, smiling widely before she walked with them to get her little sister so they could head back into the sea together.
"That was a fun excursion," Mari said to Julia as she walked out of the bathroom.
"Yeah… did it seem like it went really fast?" the teen said.
"A little, but at least we got to go," Mari replied. "Are you excited about tomorrow?"
"Excited? Sort of," Julia said, since her father had reminded them the next day was their last one at sea. "I'm a little sad too, the cruise is almost over."
"I thought of that too, but at least we can go to LA still," Mari reminded her.
"Some of us," Julia replied. She then said with a smile, "I am excited about the show though, don't worry."
"I'm not," Mari replied before there was a knock on the door of their bedroom.
"Are you guys ready?" Eve asked after the two had called her inside.
"Yeah, just let me get my shoes," Julia said, going to the closet.
After the three were in the living room Peter asked, "Did anyone hear from the grandparents?" just when there was a knock on the door connecting their suite to Martha's room with the youngest.
"Thank you young man," Castle's mother said with a smile since Jacob had opened the door. "I hope you're ready to leave," Martha directed to the others, seeing her granddaughter was slipping on her shoes.
"We are Gram," Julia said quickly. "Is Josie-" she started to say before her baby sister was shooting over to her and hugging her around the waist, Sophie following her to her own siblings.
"Hi," Josie said with a smile up at her sister.
"Hey, I'm glad to see you too," Julia said laughingly. "Are you ready for dinner?" she asked. She wasn't surprised when her sister was nodding a little hard and looked at her grandmother asking, "We're going?"
"We are," Martha said before closing the door to the other room. After they were out in the hallway she saw Julia having to keep her sister from going to their parents' suite. "Josie," she said. "Come here kiddo."
"I want to see Mama and Dada," Josie told her grandmother as she walked over to her.
"They're having a night alone with the other parents," Martha told her firmly. "You'll see them in the morning."
"Here come the others," Julia said, hoping that would distract her sister. Luckily the sight of the other kids and their sister and grandfather did, so she turned her attention to greeting everyone else before they were leaving for dinner at the Royal Court.
Setting down his glass of wine Castle asked his wife, "Final judgement?" At the look she gave him he asked, "Was that weird?"
"The wording was," Beckett said in mirth. "And I did enjoy it," she added, looking around the restaurant they'd just eaten dinner in. They'd chosen Palo, an adults only restaurant on the ship, and she said, "You?"
"Really good, though I feel bad you won't get to try the other," Castle answered.
"It's alright," Beckett said. "But it's a little weird we haven't seen anyone else, there are only two restaurants for adults."
"Brad said he had to take Lily to Remy," Castle replied. "And I think David and Rebecca went to Cabanas. The other two couples I have no clue."
"They might be here," Beckett replied.
"You didn't ask them?" Castle said in slight surprise.
Shaking her head Beckett said, "They didn't ask me where we were going either. But we'll probably see each other at the club."
"Highly likely," Castle said. "Unless everyone goes to their rooms."
"I don't know," Beckett said with a smile. She squeezed at his hand then after she'd taken it and told him, "Are you ready to go?"
"Definitely," Castle said firmly before they were getting up from their table since they'd decided to forgo dessert.
"What do you have planned?" Beckett asked once they'd left the restaurant and were on their way to the elevators.
"Planned for… the club?" Castle said in confusion.
"Not that, dessert back at the room," Beckett replied with a smile. She watched her husband pausing mid step and kissed his cheek before she said, "Later?"
"Yes," Castle said firmly before they were stepping into the elevator car that had stopped.
"Hold the door," Skye called, she and Mary hurrying to them.
"Where were you?" Beckett asked with a smile.
"Nearby," Skye said easily as they started down.
"We were at the same place," Mary said wryly, glancing at her wife out of the corner of her eye. "And that was a lot of fun. Though we both agreed it feels weird without the kids."
"We talked about that too," Beckett said with a smile. "But we're still enjoying the night."
"Us too," Skye said quickly. "But we're staying with them the rest of the cruise right?"
"We are," Castle said firmly. "There's only two more nights left."
"And one of them is your birthday," Mary said.
"And Eliza's," Castle said swiftly.
"That's not what I meant," Mary said laughingly. "I meant that do you want the rest of us there?"
"Yes," Castle and Beckett said at the same time firmly. They shared a smile when the two women were laughing and they walked off the elevator before they were making their way around to the club, where they saw the other adults were.
"Hey, you guys made it," Darnley said.
"Where were you guys?" Skye asked him.
"Cabanas, the dinner sounded good," the carpenter said first.
"My parents told us," Nkosi explained. "Everyone enjoyed dinner?" he asked.
After they were all relating where they'd went, the group entered the nightclub and split up once they'd decided to leave on their own when they chose to. They said goodnight ahead of that before they were moving to the bar or dance floor.
Wrapping his arm around his wife's waist, Castle held her close before he said, "How long?"
"You wouldn't want to dance a little and have one drink?" Beckett responded with her own question.
"That was my plan," Castle said. "I was hoping you'd agree." He wasn't surprised when his wife was briefly smiling before she was leaning against him a little more and he pressed his lips to the side of her head. After he had pulled away the song ended before another was immediately starting and he said into her ear so she would be able to hear him, "Let me know when you want to stop."
Nodding, Beckett pulled back to look at her husband and she turned to look to the left before their hands were on each other's backs. Feeling him holding her, she tried not to let the movements of his palms and fingers affect her as they continued dancing. She saw their friends around them but they never changed partners, staying together until they were stopping finally at her direction. "Was that too long?" she asked with a smile.
"No," Castle said in amusement. "I was enjoying myself too." He was soon smiling as his wife was laughing and he kissed the side of her head again before he said once they were at the bar and had a menu, "What do you want?"
"I think the Johnston," Beckett replied.
"Mind if I get Mind the Gap?" Castle asked.
"Why are you asking me?" Beckett inquired. She couldn't help laughing when he shrugged and she couldn't keep herself from kissing his cheek telling him, "Get it, but I want to try it." She smiled when he nodded rapidly before he was ordering their drinks. Watching the bartender she wasn't surprised when the woman was asking how they were enjoying their cruise before they were assuring her they were having a great time. Once both libations were ready they were moving together to sit, waving at the other adults while they were going.
"Mind if we sit next to you guys?" Skye was asking as she and Mary were making their way to where the writers were.
"No, though are we talking to each other?" Castle asked. He then noticed the way his wife was looking at him and said, "Rude?"
"Slightly," Beckett said, rolling her eyes.
"Oh don't worry," Skye said swiftly. "We're going to be out of here soon so we'll just talk amongst ourselves."
"Great, better?" Castle said before he directed the last to his wife.
"Yes," Beckett said before she was smiling. She shifted a little when her husband wrapped his left arm around her waist and she took a sip of her drink, enjoying the flavors of the liquor with some chocolate and honey notes in it. It was then she turned her attention to her husband and saw he was looking at his glass, leading her to say, "I hope it's good."
"It is, want to try?" Castle asked. He watched his wife sip from the small straw and said, "I know it's like a rum and coke-"
"It isn't bad though," Beckett interrupted him. She let him sip from her glass and said, "That isn't either."
"No," Castle replied, looking back out to the dance floor. He then turned to his wife and leaned into her murmuring, "How much longer?"
"After the drinks," Beckett said firmly before they were sharing a brief kiss. Leaning back against the banquette seating, she reached down and took her husband's hand that was cupping her waist and entwined their fingers. They were silent as they finished their drinks, watching the McDouglases leaving soon after before they were done as well.
"That didn't take very long," Castle told his wife.
"We can dance," Beckett said, unable to help smiling at his not very subtle question. She let him stand first and took his outstretched hand before they were making their way back to the floor. As they stepped onto it a slower song was playing and she said, "You don't mind?"
"Why would I?" Castle replied easily, taking her in his arms before they were swaying.
"I wasn't expecting that from this sort of club," Skye was telling her wife while they were holding each other.
"Are you complaining?" Mary asked wryly. She couldn't help laughing into her wife's shoulder as the investigator said, "Meh," and pressed her lips there once she had calmed down. Feeling Skye's shiver of pleasure she smiled and moved to press her cheek to her wife's.
"We're not staying too much longer," the investigator said, not surprised when her wife was nodding firmly in agreement. Skye tried not to let the feeling of her wife's cheek brushing against hers affect her but allowed herself to kiss it before she concentrated on their dancing.
"I'm glad we're not the only ones here," Darnley murmured to his husband.
"I noticed, and neither are Skye and Mary," Nkosi said. "Though I hope you're paying more attention to me now."
"Definitely," Darnley said firmly before he squeezed his husband a little harder.
"I think after this we should get some drinks," David was telling his wife.
"Sure, but the song isn't finished yet," Rebecca told him with a smile.
"Oh believe me, I don't want to stop yet," David said, pulling her a little closer to him. He ran his hands over her back and said, "Maybe we can do this back at our room." When his wife's response was to kiss his cheek he smiled widely and kissed under her ear.
Looking around, Brad said to Lily, "I hate to tell you this-"
"You want to leave soon," the chef interrupted her husband.
"Oh good, I don't need to tell you," Brad said jokingly. He laughed briefly when she rolled her eyes before he lightly brushed his lips to hers. "Please tell me you feel the same," he said in a whisper.
"Of course, but… I did want to dance and have one drink," Lily replied.
"And we will," Brad told her firmly before they were kissing lightly again and continuing to dance in each other's arms along with their friends on the dance floor.
Gasping her wife's name, Mary felt her moving up along the side of her body and she said, "A little too much."
"I was afraid of that," Skye said. "Sorry," she then told her apologetically.
"Oh don't worry," Mary said with a smile as she wrapped her arms around her, turning to her side. "I can tell you want to continue."
"Well… since we just started I think that's a yes," Skye replied firmly. She smiled herself when her wife laughed and she then said, "Though I would hope that you wouldn't mind if we do something different."
"Different?" Mary asked in slight surprise.
"Something else," Skye explained before she turned to her wife and murmured into her ear. When she had finished she pulled away and inquired, "Is that acceptable."
"It is, except for one thing," Mary said firmly.
"Oh?" Skye asked in a little surprise.
"Yes, I'm on top," Mary replied in the same tone of voice. She watched her wife nodding, her eyes wide and she smiled before she made Skye lay on her back before she kissed her as hard as she could. Gently slipping her tongue into her wife's mouth, she was curling around it before she was suddenly ending the kiss with a gasp when she was flipped around onto her back.
"I couldn't help it," Skye said when her wife was glaring at her. She was about to tease her it wouldn't take long for her to switch positions when she was breathing out hard as her back hit the bed.
"I'm recovered… if you were wondering," Mary said in amusement at the way her wife's eyes were wide in surprise.
"I'm not anymore," Skye replied. "Though…"
"Though what?" Mary said, frowning slightly. When her wife pulled her down to her for a kiss she did her best not to laugh as their lips were meeting, just managing while she turned her attention to responding. Once they had stopped she said, "Should we start?"
"No," Skye said firmly before she was flipping her wife around yet again. Before Mary could respond she was kissing her deeply and moving her hand up to gently cup her breast with her left hand.
Pulling away, the doctor was gasping in pleasure before she said, "You had your turn already."
"I can't-" Skye started to say before her wife was pushing her up so they could sit. She then smiled and said, "You could have told me."
"It was more fun that way," Mary replied since she'd made sure their breasts had brushed against each other. "But at least we can… do a little before I start."
"Just a little?" Skye asked. She smiled when her wife was laughing and she brushed her lips to hers before she said, "It might be more than a little for you."
"You're right," Mary said before she was kissing her wife tenderly. She was soon deepening it after she felt Skye responding to her and they were caressing each other's backs gently before they were parting slowly. Gently reaching in between them then she was caressing her wife's breasts and lightly rubbing her nipples before she was gasping at the way the investigator was caressing her own mounds. "Rose," she breathed.
"I know," Skye moaned in pleasure as her wife was soon lightly pinching her nipples. She did the same to Mary and soon she was moving so they were brushing against each other before she was freezing.
"Don't stop me," Mary commanded her wife sternly. She then moved her around, keeping her fingers rubbing gently at her clit and once Skye was laying back she said, "I don't want this to be quick."
"This will," the investigator gasped out as she widened her legs a little more than they'd already been. She held onto her wife's arms since she could reach them and she couldn't stop herself, moving in time with her before her eyes were flying open. "Mary," she breathed to her wife when the doctor's fingers were very carefully sliding in and out of her sex.
"Don't stop moving with me grá," Mary told her wife firmly. "I want you to fuck my fingers." She had said that deliberately, aware it would arouse the investigator and was pleased when Skye was squeezing her legs and sex around her in response. She moved slightly faster but kept her movements at that pace before her wife was twisting a little more and moaning louder. At that point she was speeding up but was very careful so she could feel her wife's spasms around her fingers. When Skye had calmed down, she pulled her hands away and sucked off her fingers while her wife watched before she lowered her body eagerly.
Though she was a little sensitive after her orgasm, Skye couldn't help feel a rush of pleasure at the way her wife's tongue was gently lapping at her and she gently ran her fingers through her wife's hair until she was finishing. "Good?" she asked.
"I think I should be asking you that," Mary said firmly as she moved to lay next to her. "I kind of… destroyed your plans."
"Not really, just pushed them back a bit," Skye said, wrapping her arm around her wife's shoulders. They looked up at the ceiling and she said, "Do you mind doing that?"
"I'm anticipating it," Mary said firmly. She smiled when her wife turned to look at her with wide eyes and she said, "Really, but now we have a problem."
"Just let me rest a little before we start," Skye said, aware of what her wife was talking about. She then smiled and said, "I just remembered when you needed to convince me it was alright I needed to work back up to it."
"That was enjoyable," Mary said, smiling widely. She turned onto her side and kissed along her wife's jaw saying, "But focus on now more."
"No," Skye said simply.
"No?" Mary echoed in surprise.
"It was helping me," Skye said, a little taken aback when her wife was kissing her hard. She responded before they were hungrily caressing at each other and she couldn't help herself, reaching between Mary's legs and rubbing her clit.
"Not yet," the doctor breathed. "A little more?" she asked. When her wife nodded she then said, "I love you Rose."
"I love you too grá," Skye replied before they were kissing again and soon wrapping their arms around each other tightly to prepare to make love once more.
Hissing heavily, Darnley was soon slumping against his husband's back and said, "Please tell me-"
"I came," Nkosi managed to respond. He smiled and said, "I can tell you did."
"Of course I did," Darnley said sternly.
"How's your hand?" Nkosi asked.
"Very wet," Darnley said, feeling a slight stirring in him though they'd just climaxed at the same time.
"Then pull out," Nkosi said.
"So rude," Darnley replied teasingly before he pulled away and waited for his husband to turn around and sit up. "How do you want me to do this?" he asked.
"Here," Nkosi said, taking the carpenter's hand and gently cupping his own under it before he leaned down.
"Trev," Darnley groaned as he felt his husband licking at his palm. He stopped himself from saying anything as Nkosi was raising his head to kiss him. After they had gotten his hand clean he said, "Thanks for letting me lick."
"I had to be fair," Nkosi replied with a smile before they were kissing. He could taste himself on his husband's tongue but didn't stop until they needed to breathe and when they parted he said, "What now?"
"Hold that thought," Darnley said, brushing his lips to his husband's before he forced himself to head into the bathroom. He hurried to return and when he had told Nkosi, "It's your turn now I think."
Moving to kiss his husband, the investigator didn't respond and was instead slipping his tongue into his mouth. Almost gleeful when Darnley was responding with the same amount of enthusiasm, they were involved in that kiss for a little longer before kissing a few more times. When they parted he said, "Are you sure?"
"It was my choice last time remember?" Darnley told him firmly. He wasn't surprised when his husband hesitated and told him, "Anything you want."
Smiling briefly, since he'd told the carpenter that, Nkosi nodded and then moved to murmur in his ear.
"Say it out loud," Darnley told him teasingly. "Unless you're ashamed."
"I'm not, but I really want to know what you think," Nkosi said. "It does make a mess."
"We do that a lot," Darnley told his husband simply. He wasn't surprised when the investigator was smirking a little and he said, "And I know how much you love it."
"You too," Nkosi shot back teasingly. He wasn't surprised when his husband leaned into him and kissed him lovingly on the lips. Racing to respond, he wasn't surprised when that didn't last for long and they were parting before he moved to let his husband lay where he had. Sitting on the carpenter's legs he asked, "Good?"
"Yeah, you're not staying there anyway… are you?" Darnley asked, frowning slightly. When his husband's response was to slowly smile at him he groaned and said, "I'm glad we fucked already before this. I'd end up coming in a second."
"Don't exaggerate," Nkosi scolded him.
"I'm not, I literally would," Darnley defended himself. He was going to say more but paused when his husband was moving a little while holding his own erection. "Or I might now," he breathed out.
Glancing at his husband for his deepened voice, Nkosi said, "You'll control yourself. I'll need to too."
Having to wait to respond to that, Darnley found he didn't care as his husband was carefully curling his hand around both their lengths he'd managed to press together. Though he wasn't sure he'd be able to speak clearly as the touch was like an explosion of pleasure, he forced himself to talk saying, "I'll do my best just… don't do anything too crazy."
"You said it was my turn," Nkosi said with a pout though he was only teasing his husband. When Darnley opened his mouth to speak he was moving his body and raising it up and down. Since he was holding them both their erections were rubbing together and they were both groaning in absolute pleasure. He pushed through the joy in that movement to continue, experimenting a little with the directions he could move in. That ended up being a benefit since his palm became a little slippery with the fluids that were escaping them both. When he arched his hips a bit more than he had planned they were both slipping out of his grasp and he said, "Help me this time, I'll never be able to hold onto us."
"You're sure?" Darnley asked. He wasn't surprised when his husband was nodding rapidly and he moved to assist him so their fingers were nearly entwined as they were both moving together. He was silent, his husband as well, while they were moving in unison and groaning with each slight lift of their bodies. "Trev," he eventually found himself begging his husband.
"Close?" Nkosi asked, surprised he'd been able to speak. At the almost frantic nodding of his husband he breathed, "So am I." That seemed to give them both impetuous to disregard their rhythm completely in their mutual peaks and they were thrusting wildly until they were climaxing, calling each other's names and trying to watch their release as it fell onto Darnley's chest. But it became too much and his eyes were closed until he was calming down and placing his other hand down on the bed next to his husband, listening to their panting before Darnley's hand was sliding up his right arm.
"I'm wondering something," the carpenter told his husband.
"How we're going to clean all of this?" Nkosi asked. When Darnley nodded he couldn't help smiling and told him, "To be honest I have no idea." He watched his husband for a moment and then asked, "I'm choosing?"
"Yes," Darnley said firmly before his husband was licking his palm. He watched in interest, feeling a little aroused at the sight, but kept silent until the investigator was brushing his fingers against his chest. "Like that?" he asked when Nkosi was placing his fingers at his lips. At the simple nod he got in response he was raising his head enough to take the tips in his mouth, soon sucking everything off. That started them both working to clean each other's fingers off until his chest was clear. "Okay," he said after he looked down at himself.
Nkosi was about to ask his husband what he was thinking when Darnley suddenly grabbed at him and flipped him to his back. Laughing, they were soon kissing and he lost himself in their foreplay until they were making love again.
