Standing in front of the TV screen at the Midship Detective Agency, Julia was urged to tap the lower screen before the revealed the three cases they could do. "What do you think?" she asked the two youngest.
"What is it?" Josie asked.
"The Case of the Plundered Paintings," Julia read. "The Case of the Missing Puppies and The Case of the Stolen Show."
"Can we help Mickey?" Sophie asked before she clapped when the teen was tapping that case file.
As the video moved to the upper screen Skye murmured, "Why is she British?" as a woman with that accent was narrating. She smiled when her wife nudged her and then turned back at the younger kids gasping at Mickey showing up on the screen behind a desk.
After the case was explained, and Goofy and Donald showed up, the kids were getting the card they needed to use ready before they were pausing when they needed to use it to find a key.
"You'll have to take turns," Skye said. "So go youngest to oldest."
Smiling when the older kids looked a little dismayed, Beckett said, "I think you need to help Josie and Sophie." They looked on while Jacob and Eve were helping the youngest of their group find the key.
"Great job you two," Brad said, his wife agreeing when they found it, the toddlers beaming at all of them.
After some more instruction about the card, the younger kids were murmuring about getting a case book and being able to write clues in it. Eliza got it and a pencil before she went to Eve saying, "Can you take the notes?"
"Actually, I think your sister should do that," the young woman answered.
"I… sure," Julia said, taking the book and pencil from her sister. They walked to deck 6 and she handed the book to her mother so she and Eliza could help Josie in holding up the badge to the painting of the three characters with blueprints.
After the painting disappeared, Keo was next with his father's help, using the badge to search a closet with a 'night-scope'. When he found the clue, a scorecard for the mini-golf on the ship, he gasped before they learned they could cross off the suspects who didn't have an a in their name.
"I crossed them off," Julia said after noting the card and crossing off where she could. "Where are we going next?" she asked, since they'd been told to go to whatever painting they wanted.
"You pick, you have the map," Clive told her.
"I think the one on deck ten," Julia said, looking at the paintings and floors. "Don't ask me why, I'd like to start from the top." She expected someone to protest but they were soon leaving and heading to deck 10 in the elevators.
Once they'd found the Little Mermaid painting, Dani was activating it with David's help until she gave the card to Maddy before her father stopped her.
"You have a little activity here," David said. "Can she do that before you take your turn?"
"Thank you," Dani said happily before she was turning to the screen. She was drilling some screws off a panel and laughed when it came off before quickly giving the card to Maddy. "Find the clue," she said eagerly.
"I'll try," the little girl replied before turning to the screen as Nkosi walked up to her. When she saw they were finding one the lost paintings, Donald Duck being hit on the head with the panel, she laughed before she said, "You found the painting!" to Dani who blushed.
"You'll go first the next painting," David said to Maddy who was nodding rapidly.
"Which will be where?" Castle asked Julia who was already studying the map.
"Deck 8," the teen eventually said before they were leaving for the stairs.
Smiling when the kids were talking excitedly about the case, Beckett told her husband next to her, "I'm glad you saw this."
"Me too," Castle replied with a nod before they were reaching the deck. When they got to the painting he watched with the others as Nkosi was helping Maddy with the card.
"You should keep going," Brad said when the painting disappeared.
"He's right, there isn't much on some of these it looks like," Eve said, nodding. "Keep going."
"They're okay with it," Darnley said, smiling at his daughter before she was moving the card around before she revealed the front page of a newspaper.
"A clue!" the youngest three were saying together when they saw it was about Cruella De Vil being arrested.
"Did you cross her off?" Eliza asked.
"Yeah," Julia assured them. "Okay, I think we should try the other painting on this deck." She wasn't surprised when the others were agreeing and they were walking quickly together over to it before Eliza was getting the card and holding it up to the painting.
After she had gotten the poster out of the way, the little girl saw there was an aquarium and fish that she was soon getting out of the way. When she saw she had found moustache wax she said, "So it's a man."
"I think so," Julia said, not surprised when the kids were giggling since none of the female villains in the book had mustaches. After she had crossed off the last of the women, she was going back to the map. She then said, "Do you mind going down further? There's some pictures I think we should try." She was surprised when the adults didn't disagree as the other kids were asking them to go, and she said, "Then we need to go to deck 4."
"Are we going down the stairs?" Keo asked.
"That's a little too far," Darnley said. He was surprised when his son was groaning in disappointment and then looked over at the others.
"He's right," Beckett said with a smile at the little boy as they were walking to the elevators. "You don't want to be too tired for pirate night do you?"
"Oh, I forgot," Keo said, his eyes growing wide.
"Thanks," Darnley told his friend.
"You're welcome, but I wasn't just saying that for Keo," Beckett said. "Josie was asking about the stairs too."
"I'm not surprised," Darnley said before he was going to where his family was waiting for their turn.
After they were on the deck, Julia led everyone to the photo of Walt Disney next to a movie camera before Ivy and Iris were using the badge together.
After the picture was gone there were balloons and the twins were moving hurriedly to pop them with the pin on the screen before they were laughing heavily as they were pretending to go crazy with the badge until they had to pause and then finish. When they revealed Donald on the deck of the ship, a scroll floating down to him tied to a balloon, they cheered with the others kids since it was another missing painting.
"Go to this picture here," Julia told Fleur before anyone could ask her about it.
Taking the badge from her sisters, the girl walked over to the other picture of Walt Disney before she had the badge on the screen move the picture out of the way. Smiling at the steam covering the scene, she was soon using a wrench on the screen to close a valve and clear it to reveal another painting, cheering with the kids.
After they'd stopped laughing at the painting, which like the others had the Disney cartoon characters in real paintings and was Goofy as Washington in Washington Crossing the Delaware, Julia said, "We can go one deck up, that way we can take the stairs." She wasn't surprised when everyone was agreeing to that and they headed to them so they could go up to a painting that looked like a fort.
Marie and Kathleen were holding the badge up together and getting the painting to open before there were crates on ropes at the top of the screen. With a laser on the screen they used the badge to cut the ropes before crates were falling and breaking until one rolled towards them.
"A potion bottle!" Iris breathed. "Who would have that? Yzma?"
"No, she doesn't have a mustache," Eliza said quickly. "What's next?"
"I think deck 7," Julia replied before they were going to the stairs and hurrying up.
After they were at the animation of Donald Duck doing the hula, Mari took the badge and revealed a foggy window underneath. She used a squeegee to show Goofy underneath in a sauna with a painting hanging over a rack next to him. She cheered with the others as it showed Minnie as Venus from the painting The Birth of Venus before she turned to her friend, handing the badge to Clive.
"Deck 9," Julia said before anyone could say anything to her. They went up again and when they got to the Alice in Wonderland painting she took the badge from Clive after she gave the book to Mari. Getting the badge on the screen in its space she was revealing a dusty screen underneath before she used the badge to move the fingerprint brush over it. She laughed as the others were cheering at the painting revealed underneath, of Goofy as Van Gough in Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear. They soon started to laugh when Goofy was sneezing, and his head broke through the painting. "I guess we might have a chance to all take a turn?" she said as she handed the badge to Peter.
"We'll need to see," Castle replied before he looked at her questioningly.
"Um… the one on deck 2?" Julia asked hopefully. She wasn't surprised when the kids were agreeing with that before they were going back to the elevators. "I wanted to go somewhere else," she explained since she was walking with Mari and Eve.
"I saw it says you don't need to go to every painting," the former said.
"Yeah, but I would like to go to as many decks as possible," Julia said before they were going into an elevator together.
At the Bambi picture, Peter was getting the badge on the screen in place before it was leaving and revealing shelves of a pantry. Using the magnet there he moved the badge around to cause the metal items to fall until he revealed a clue, a crocodile tooth. "Huh," he said, giving the badge to Jacob.
"Yeah, huh," the young man said, trying not to laugh when his sister was giving him a look.
"Deck 4," Julia said swiftly before they were leaving and making their way up again. When they were at the painting she watched Jacob getting the badge on the screen set.
"Oh, Eve you-" Jacob said when the painting moved to reveal a 'desktop' where they would guess the killer.
"No, keep going," Eve interrupted him.
"Wait, I'm not going to guess this on my own," Jacob then said, looking back at the other kids.
"I know who it is," Eliza said, hurrying up to him. "The mustache and the potion and the tooth? It's Dr. Facilier!"
"Does everyone agree?" Jacob asked. When he saw the others were nodding he then turned back to the screen and moved the picture of the character to the space before he had to open a stateroom with a card key. Inside they saw a painting and the top hat and cards of the character before Mickey was telling them that the he was trying to escape and to go to the picture of a Dumbo poster to catch them. "Good thing we're on the same floor," he told Julia.
"I know, that was just a coincidence though," the teen said laughingly before they were making their way over to it.
After she had gotten the poster off the screen, Eve was watching the animation, of the stage of the theater on the ship with a large crate there. Mickey, Donald and Goofy were opening it, causing the paintings to explode out of it before it panned to the suspect before she used the badge to pull a lever on the side of the stage. The suspect fell into a cage and Mickey was wrapping things up.
"So I guess you guys enjoyed that," Castle said when the kids were talking to each other eagerly. He laughed when they were all saying yes at nearly the same time and he hurried to calm them down before the other adults were assisting him. "I'm glad but we're going to have to leave the other case to another day," he told them.
"He's right," Brad said. "That took a while. And we did a lot of walking too. I think we should rest."
"Just a little, we do need to go," Castle added. He wasn't surprised when the younger kids were pretending to cry out in excitement about the reminder of that night before they were stopping and moving to head back to the elevators for deck 12 and their staterooms.
"Did I tell you I love what you did with your kerchief?" Castle asked his wife as they went to the door of their stateroom to leave for dinner.
"You did," Beckett said with a smile since she'd made hers a headband instead of covering the top of her head as her husband had done. "And thank you because I almost wasn't going to wear it."
"You have to," Castle said.
Beckett laughed and said, "I got that, you tied it over your hair, do you know how messed up it's going to be?"
"I know, but you have to get into the spirit," Castle replied before his wife was laughing again and he was opening the door for her to step out. He saw the others were doing the same by them before he said, "I see everyone else did too."
"Of course we did, we got the handkerchief for free," Brad said.
"Uh… you're wearing that wrong I think," Castle said since his friend had one of the eyepatches that was in the packet above his left eye.
"I told him but of course he didn't answer me," Lily said, rolling her eyes before they were going around the corner to where the others were gathering.
"Hi Mama," Josie said, going to her parents as soon as she was outside her stateroom.
"Hey sweetie, you look great," Beckett said with a smile, picking her up.
"Your gram did that for you?" Castle asked, bouncing the ends of her kerchief as the toddler was giggling.
"Yeah, Sophie too," Josie said, looking over at her friend who was greeting her parents after they'd approached.
"She did a good job," Castle commented.
"You all did," Beckett said with a smile as Eliza and Julia were walking over to them.
"Thanks," the latter said, smiling herself. "Mari did this for me… who tied yours Dad?"
"He did it himself," Beckett said with a smile. "And before you asked I tied mine myself."
"I like how you did it," Eliza said, she and her sister with their kerchiefs tied over their heads like their father's was. She was going to say more when she turned at more voices coming closer.
After they were all gathered together, the group headed down to deck 3 where the Royal Court restaurant was. Once they were inside they were led to tables by the portholes and left looking at the menus.
"What're you going to get?" Castle asked his wife after a while.
"I think the jerk chicken," Beckett replied after a moment. "The strip loin?" she then asked him. After he nodded she couldn't help laughing briefly before she said, "I hope Julia can find something."
"She will," Castle said, since the older kids were sitting at the table behind them. "What about you?" he then directed to Eliza who was on the other side of him.
"Can I get the sirloin on this menu?" the girl asked, motioning to the kids' menu she had.
"Go ahead," Beckett said, smiling when her husband glanced at her. "But I hope you'll get the smashed potatoes with that," she told her, not surprised the little girl was nodding rapidly before she was turning her attention to Josie who was patting her arm.
"What do I get Mama?" the toddler asked.
"Do you want to try the skewers?" Castle said before his wife could answer.
"We'd like you to get that," Beckett told Josie when she looked at her questioningly.
"It'll be fun," Castle said.
Shaking her head, Beckett said, "We'll get that for you sweetie."
After they had ordered, it seemed they were getting their food relatively quickly and while they ate Mari nudged her friend's side.
"What?" Julia asked.
"You got the same thing as your mom again," Mari said.
"You too," Julia said with a smile. "But really, I didn't know what else to get."
"I'm surprised it's not spicy for you," Clive said, sitting on the other side of Mari.
"I'm used to it," Julia replied with a shrug.
"Me too," Mari said. "You guys are too."
"Our parents wanted us to be used to spicy stuff too," Eve commented, sitting with Peter and her brother. She smiled and said, "Not that spicy though, Dad hates the really hot stuff."
"I would too," Julia said thoughtfully. When she noticed her friends looking at her she said, "I was just thinking we're back in the Caribbean."
"Is that a complaint?" Peter asked jokingly.
"No," Julia said laughingly. "I'm eager for it again since we're going to different places of course. She then said, "And I'm excited for the show tonight."
"I didn't think you liked pirates that much," Jacob said.
"Of course she does," Mari said laughingly. "Paul was a pirate wasn't he?"
"Not for that reason," Julia responded in mock annoyance. When her friends were just looking at her she made a face and said, "Okay, not just that but I do like the movies."
"Me too," Jacob said. "I was really excited when your dad told us they were doing a pirates night."
"I can tell," Mari said with a smile on her face since he was wearing an eyepatch like his father. She turned her attention back to her food as the others were doing and once they'd finished eating she said, "Did you guys pick what you wanted?"
"Yeah," Julia said slowly as she was looking at the menu. "I think I'm going to try the cheesecake tart." She was startled when her friends were all saying they were going to get that too and she laughed before she said, "I'm surprised."
"It sounds good," Eve said first before they needed to order.
Once they'd finished their desserts, the group was leaving for deck 11 where the show was going to be held. They managed to get there in good time, standing back enough to see the stage and large video screen.
"I hope we don't have to wait too long," Eliza murmured to her friends where they were sitting.
"I know, or else the kids are going to be bored," Fleur said before they were laughing together.
The video screen in front of them soon changed from a skull and bones to fog and choppy water. The show started shortly after that and the kids were watching it closely since it was Pirates of the Caribbean themed, Jack Sparrow appearing at the top of the funnel above the screen.
"That was fun," Clive said swiftly to the other older kids before the song A Pirate's Life for Me began at the end and everyone was singing along. He laughed with the others before they were joining in singing until the performers were bowing and he yelled out a, "Whoa!" when some flares shot out from the funnel.
"Cool!" Julia cried when fireworks started going off above them.
Covering Josie's ears since the toddler was on his lap, Castle said, "Are you alright?"
"She's fine," Beckett told her husband in amusement, watching Josie before she was looking back at the sky.
Though the fireworks didn't last for much longer than three minutes, the kids were all cheering and clapping after they stopped. Though they tried to ask the parents to let them stay out a little longer, they insisted it was time to return to the staterooms so they could get some rest in anticipation for the first stop the next day.
Looking at the dark ahead of them, Peter turned to his girlfriend and asked, "This doesn't scare you?"
"No, it used to when I was younger," Eve said honestly. She smiled at him and said, "You?"
"No, I was just wondering," Peter said. He then added, "I'm getting used to living on the beach."
"But you are liking it," Eve told him.
Nodding rapidly Peter said, "Oh yeah, the house is awesome." He had been about to say more when his girlfriend was laughing and he said, "But you know already."
"Of course I do; and you know it's the same for my house," Eve said since she'd been there a number of times since the Lennoxes had moved in and vice versa. She then frowned and asked, "Are you homesick?"
"Sort of, I wish the rest of my family had come. But I know Emily is too little still," Peter replied. "Luckily after what Clive and I have told him, Dad said we're definitely taking her on a cruise when she's older."
"Then you've got that to look forward too," Eve said before they were looking out ahead of them again. "They're at the door aren't they?"
"Yeah," Peter said. "We better go back in anyways." He wasn't surprised when his girlfriend nodded in agreement before he stopped her and kissed her cheek gently before they were heading back inside.
"Hey, how was it?" Clive asked once the door to the verandah was closed and locked behind the two.
"We could see you," Eve said wryly.
"We were told to chaperone you," Jacob said simply.
Rolling her eyes Eve said, "You're a pest. Take off that eyepatch too."
"I like this though," Jacob said in mock complaint though he was removing it from where he had it on his forehead. He tossed it to the table and said, "Too bad you didn't get a kiss in," to Peter.
"You were watching us and now you want us to kiss?" the teen said in a strangled tone though he was soon laughing with the others. When they'd calmed down Peter said, "I wasn't going to do that with you guys there," his tone of voice firm.
"Maybe you'll have the chance to do that tomorrow," Julia commented. She wasn't surprised when Eve glanced at her and with a smile said, "I'm not joking, maybe you could at least walk away a little or something and hold hands."
"Thank you for just saying that," Eve replied.
"Yeah, that was enough for me," Julia said before they started to laugh. When they'd calmed down they split up to start changing, she and Mari leading the other girls into their room for that.
"You're so lucky you know," Marie told Eve when they were finishing.
"They couldn't come?" the young woman asked.
"No, they were going back to Korea for the week," Marie said. "To see her mother's family. Florrie was really excited since she hasn't been to Seoul since she was three."
"Show them the picture she sent today," Kathleen told her twin.
"My phone is out in the room," Marie explained. "But she was wearing a hanbok at her cousin's wedding today."
"Cool, I want to see it," Mari said.
"Of course you do," Julia said as she was laughing lightly. She paused and then said, "Do you think you can get ideas from it?"
"Yeah, for dresses," Mari said simply.
"Are we all ready?" Eve asked, noticing they were all dressed. After the nods from the others she led the way out and they were joining the boys at the table while Marie was getting her phone.
"Here," she told the others. "Florrie wearing her hanbok." Watching while the others were looking at the picture, she smiled and said, "She said she'll bring me one."
"Really?" Clive asked. "You have to show us a picture when you get home."
"Not you," Marie replied. She smiled when she saw he looked startled and reminded him, "You're coming to LA, remember?"
"Oh yeah," Clive said in surprise. He was soon laughing with everyone before they calmed down and said, "We have a lot of time, why don't we watch another cruise show?"
"Great, I was going to suggest that," Jacob said before they were hurrying to the couch where they could start watching one of the shows before they'd need to go to bed.
Before closing the door behind them, Castle placed the do not disturb sign on the doorknob and shut it firmly. After that was set he walked into the living room and asked his wife, "Do you want to go outside?"
"Not tonight," Beckett replied.
"No?" Castle said in surprise. Before she could answer he said quickly, "Sorry, I forgot we're leaving tomorrow. We-" when he was stopping abruptly at his wife covering his mouth with her hand.
"That's not why I said no," Beckett said, removing it.
"Then… you're not tired," Castle said carefully. When his wife merely smiled and shook her head once he breathed out hard before he was leaning into her and kissing her tenderly as they were wrapping their arms around each other.
When her husband was deepening that kiss, Beckett was swift to respond though she ended it unintentionally when his hands slid underneath her blouse. "You-" she started to say before he was cutting her off with another kiss. He'd removed his hands from her skin and she was missing the touch a little before she became distracted by his tongue beginning to coax her into a duel. They were involved with that for some time before she broke away and panting said, "We should… sit," she told him.
Shaking his head Castle said, "I'd rather lay down. Call me a pervert," saying the last in a rush. "But I've been literally going crazy all day watching you and remembering this morning."
"It wasn't enough," Beckett said. She couldn't help laughing briefly when her husband was looking at her in surprise and said, "It isn't all one sided."
"Oh I know," Castle replied. "I just thought you'd be calling me a pervert."
Rolling her eyes, Beckett moved to brush her lips to her husband's and then said, "If you're serious about laying down, I don't want to do that in my clothes."
"Great, we agree," Castle said swiftly before he was reaching for her blouse. Startled when she abruptly stopped him he said, "I can't undress you?"
"No, take care of yourself," Beckett said firmly before she was reaching for the bottom of her blouse. Removing it herself, she'd half expected to find Castle watching her when she'd gotten it off but instead he was taking off his own shirt. Though she was tempted to tease him, she was moving to take off the rest of her clothes before they were moving onto the bed after he'd gotten the covers out of the way.
Watching his wife getting on the mattress before him, Castle couldn't keep himself from following her so he could caress her ass on the way. He felt her shudder but didn't stop until she had turned to lay down and he couldn't reach her anymore. "Goddess," he breathed, looking over her body while he remained above her still.
"Sheik, come here," Beckett told him firmly, reaching up for him. She was relieved when he was moving down to her and they were kissing deeply. She tried to pull him a little more down to her but he resisted until she was pulling away from their kiss and beginning to speak telling him, "Rick-"
"I don't want to rush into… anything," Castle told her seriously. He wasn't surprised when his wife's response was to pull him to her for a kiss and they were doing so gently before he moved away first. "I want to touch you," he then admitted.
"So do I," Beckett said. She couldn't help smiling when her husband looked at her, startled, and she said, "Too many women were looking at you today."
"Same for men looking at you," Castle said. He paused and then asked, "Should we get some tattoos of each other's name?"
"No," Beckett replied, moving so she could initiate a kiss. After they had parted she told him, "I prefer a more physical affirmation of our… possessiveness," smirking at him at the end.
Shuddering hard, Castle did his best to stop before he told her, "Vixen." He had to take another moment to speak again but he was finally able to say, "I'm glad I'm not alone in that."
"No," Beckett was able to say before her husband was leaning down to her and kissing her deeply. She responded immediately and their tongues were shortly after meeting, rolling together for a while before they were very carefully pulling away from one another. "Love," she sighed when he was moving down to her neck. Closing her eyes tightly at the way he kissed around her pulse on each side she reached up to his hair, gently sliding her fingers through the locks before he moved lower. She was suddenly gripping at his head as his lips teased her left nipple and she was gasping at him moving around to kiss both of her breasts.
Moving around the mounds reverently, Castle was pressing kisses to them before he was raising his head. Though he'd intended to move lower on her body he couldn't resist and was kissing her sensuously on the lips before he realized she was running her hands down his back. Pulling away at the feel of her fingertips lightly caressing the small of his back, he whispered her name hoarsely before he was pushing himself to move lower on her body. Kissing around her stomach, he then moved to her sex, not surprised when she was parting her legs immediately for him before he could ask her to. Not wasting time to tease her about that, he immediately began kissing at her clit down to her folds.
Gasping a little when her husband's tongue flicked inside of her, Beckett was about to reach down to him when he was moving back and then up. She wrapped her arms around him tightly before his lips were capturing her own, and she was eagerly responding to his hungry kiss. She wasn't surprised when it didn't stop until they needed to catch their breath and after a moment she was flipping her husband around to his back. "My turn," she told him with a smirk.
"Sure," Castle said, not surprised when she was laughing briefly. Though it would keep her from moving momentarily, he reached up and tucked her hair behind her left ear telling her, "You're gorgeous Kate."
"Hmm, don't stop me," Beckett teased him. When he was shaking his head seriously she smiled and then leaned down, instigating a gentle kiss that was ending shortly after. She went over his body as he'd done to her, kissing his chest and playing a little with his nipples as well before she was going to his stomach, gently picking up his erection laying there.
Gritting his teeth when his wife was pressing a kiss to the tip of him, Castle was tempted to grab for her and bring her up to him before she was kissing down his length. Hissing heavily at the sensation, he was trying to stop her when she was pulling away and he pushed himself to move to grab her. Laying her on her back he was kissing her tenderly, though it very shortly after became passionate. "Kate," he groaned, kissing around her neck fervently as she was moaning at every touch of his lips. He moved back up to hers and murmured against them, "I want you."
"Please," Beckett breathed before he was kissing her hungrily. When they had stopped eventually she ran her hands around his shoulders and said, "Hurry."
Nodding, though he'd wanted to tell her she was irresistible, Castle raised himself slightly before he was guiding her hand to him. He held himself as still as he could though the sensation of her silky skin holding him was almost to much. Shaking himself of his thoughts he focused on entering her, grunting briefly when she exhaled hard at the initial feeling. With her no longer holding onto him, he was moving slowly inside of her and relishing in their bodies coupling until their hips were pressed together. "Love," he breathed against her lips.
Capturing them since she could, Beckett wasn't surprised when that kiss wasn't lasting for very long since her husband had begun to thrust. Her arms were wrapped around him still and her nails dug into his shoulders in pleasure at the way he slid back smoothly inside of her. When he roughly asked her if she'd wanted him she nodded her head at first before she told him, "This morning w-wasn't enough," stumbling a little when he was pressing inside of her again.
"No," Castle said. "But… after this?" he managed to get out though it was difficult because she was affecting him too.
Beckett shook her head briefly before she was pulling her husband to him so they could kiss again. Though her legs were wrapped around her husband's waist, she was doing her best to move in time with him. Since he was still moving slowly she was able to match him and doing her best to hold onto him and not hurt him she was gripping at him tightly. "Rick," she breathed to him. "After this… we'll… we'll…" she tried to say though she was trailing off when her husband was kissing over the tops of her breasts.
Though he'd intended to respond to her, Castle found he couldn't and was moving to his wife's lips. Taking them he was starting out gently before he was deepening it until they were dueling passionately. He wasn't sure how much longer they were involved with their kisses, but eventually it wasn't hard to realize they were both close and he pulled away from her. "Are you… going to come my love," he breathed to her.
"Yes I… I want you to fuck me next," Beckett said, saying that as quickly as she could so she managed to speak. Her husband was brushing his lips to hers lightly and said, "Will you?" His whisper of yes, followed by his teeth nipping at her neck nearly pushed her over the edge before he was gently soothing the place with his lips. She drew him to her before he was kissing her deeply and she was arching her hips up a bit higher. When her husband's response was to angle his hips down a little more, she was unable to keep her body from responding and she was pulling away from him, crying his name when he was joining her shortly after. She was holding onto him a little harder, again trying not to break the skin of his back as her nails her sliding over it. Eventually she was stopping and she was taking in the sensation of Castle still thrusting against her. When he gave a last one against her, she was quick to cup the back of his head and gently rubbed her fingertips against his scalp before he was groaning heavily against her neck.
"You're…" Castle started to say before he trailed off and then raised his head. "You're okay?"
"Yes, you're not laying on me," Beckett replied, smiling when he was looking down between them. She gently brushed his hair off his forehead and told him, "I hope you remembered what you promised me."
"I did, don't worry," Castle said before he was carefully withdrawing from her. They were both breathing out in disappointment and he hurried to lay next to her before wrapping his arms around her once she was settled against his side. "Though we should wait a little."
"Just a little," Beckett replied with a smile. She kissed his jaw once and said, "Don't make it seem like it's just me."
"Oh no, it's not," Castle said seriously as he looked down at her. He moved to brush his lips to hers before he told her, "I love you Kate."
"Hmm, love you too Rick," Beckett told him with a smile. She then gently ran her hand down his chest and once she was at his stomach gently fingered his erection. "Will you show me?" she asked him.
"If you help me first," Castle said. He wasn't surprised when his wife was looking at him in confusion and he explained, "I want to watch you riding my cock before I fuck you."
Smiling, Beckett slipped away from her husband's hold and got up on her knees while he was hurrying to sit up. "For how long?" she asked while she was straddling his lap.
"Not much," Castle said seriously. "I want to pleasure you."
"You will, this way too," Beckett assured him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Sheik."
"Goddess," Castle breathed.
With that Castle and Beckett were leaning into each other and kissing passionately before they were moving carefully to couple again. As soon as they were, she was kissing her husband again and shortly after initiating their lovemaking, both readily anticipating their mutual pleasure yet again.
