"I think it's almost time," Jacob said, looking at the clock in the room.

"Yeah, you can hear the engines starting," Marie said. "Should we go out into the hall?"

"Definitely," Julia said eagerly.

"She's right," Eve said in amusement when the others were looking at her. "But we have to stay by the door to the room."

"We know," Marie and Kathleen said at the same time.

"Let's go," Eve said while everyone was laughing. She went out the door first and wasn't surprised to find the others leaving their rooms at the same time. "We made it," she said jokingly back to their friends.

"Okay," Castle said once they were all in the hallway. "We better get up to the railing so we have a good view." He wasn't surprised when no one argued that and they were walking to the elevators where they had to wait since other passengers where there too.

Up on the deck, the group managed to find an empty spot before they spread out together and were looking down at the dock.

As they were waiting, Julia was going to speak when the ship's horn went off, making her look over at Josie who was covering her ears with her hands.

"It's alright," Castle was saying to the toddler whose eyes were wide.

"He's right, the ship is just saying we're leaving," Eliza told her.

"And we are," Julia cried in joy when she realized that they were in fact moving.

"She's right, look Josa!" Eliza said eagerly.

Removing her hands, Josie saw what her sisters did and said, "Mama!"

"I see," Beckett assured her, kissing her cheek. She watched Julia and Eliza waving at the people on the dock, Josie mimicking them and she laughed when the toddler even added a bye-bye to that. "That's very nice of you sweetie," she said as she took her from Castle.

"I have to be nice," Josie said seriously.

"I'm glad you think that way," Castle said.

"Now what do we do? It's too early for dinner," Eliza said once the ship had gone further out into the water.

"We have two hours," Castle said. "A little less than that so I think it's more what you'd like to do."

"I think we're going back to our room," Julia said.

"To do what?" Beckett asked.

"We were going to go in the Jacuzzi," Julia said after a moment's hesitation. "Since we're going to be swimming around here the next two days."

"That's fine," Beckett said. "But you remember the rules we had." She wasn't surprised when the teen was nodding rapidly and she said, "Okay, then we'll go back."

"You too?" Julia asked in surprise.

"We're going into the Jacuzzi too," Eliza said happily.

"Really," Beckett said, looking at her second youngest.

"I wasn't sure what you'd say," Julia answered with a shrug before her mother was hugging her with one arm.

"Alright, since we're going to be sharing the verandah, let's go," Beckett replied before they had started to walk then.

"What about the others?" Eliza asked.

"We invited them to the verandah," Castle answered. "Not the Jacuzzi though," he said swiftly when he saw the question on the girl's lips. "It's a little unsanitary and I don't think we have that kind of time."

"What're we going to do?" Dani asked.

"Play some games," David said before they were reaching the stairs. "Which we'll get right now."

"Games?" Eliza asked in obvious confusion.

"You'll see," Castle said first with a smile before he picked up Eliza and carried her.

"Daddy!" the little girl cried. "Why'd you do that? I can walk."

"I forgot to ask you," Castle said. "In only six days you're turning eight. Excited?"

"Yep," Eliza replied. "What're we doing?"

Castle couldn't help laughing and he set her down saying, "Nice try sweetheart."

Beckett smiled when Eliza shrugged before they were making their way down to their staterooms where they split up. After she had put on her bikini after rinsing off in the shower she asked her husband, "How're you feeling?"

"About the Jacuzzi? Bad that everyone can't join us but-" Castle started to say before his wife was interrupting him.

"Not that," Beckett told him firmly. "Your birthday."

"I'm fine," Castle said. He wasn't surprised when his wife was studying him and said, "Okay, I'm not happy about it, but I'm trying not to think about it since I don't want to make Eliza… sad or anything on her birthday. Or mess it up for Julia either."

Beckett couldn't help smile briefly at that before she told him, "You know how I feel about your age."

"Yes, which is why it's only me not being happy about getting older… or I guess to be fair it being more about our age difference," Castle replied. He then smiled and told her, "But if you wanted to comfort me that night…"

"Pervert," Beckett replied with a smile since she was aware already of what her husband was doing before he was suddenly kissing her deeply.

Relieved when she was responding, since he hadn't known if Beckett was going to stop him with their family and friends arriving soon, Castle gave into the temptation and lingered until something hit them both. Breaking away at the same time as his wife, they looked down to see it was Josie and she was beaming up at them.

"Hi," the toddler said before she was squealing when her father picked her up, swinging her legs out.

"How did you get in?" Castle asked her teasingly as Beckett was walking back to their bedroom.

"Open the door Dada," Josie replied simply.

"All by yourself?" Castle then asked. When she nodded he hugged her tightly before he said, "Now we're going to have to talk about knocking on doors."

"She knows already Rick," Beckett said in amusement, walking to them with two towels. "She could see us through the glass." When Josie was nodding she cupped the toddler's cheek and asked, "Are you ready to go in the Jacuzzi?"

"Yeah," Josie said happily.

"So are we, now we just need to wait for the guests…" Castle started to say before a knock at the door made him trail off. He smiled at Josie and said, "Now our little sailing party can start." He laughed with Beckett when their youngest cheered and they went to the entrance of their suite to begin letting everyone in.

"Josie."

Turning from the fountain their table was by, the toddler said, "I watch Mickey Mama."

"I see that, but the special burger you got is going to be cold," Beckett told her, helping her pick it up.

"Minnie made it too," Castle told her. He wasn't surprised when the toddler was looking at her mini-burger with wide eyes and said, "With magic."

"Rick," Beckett said, trying to scold him though she couldn't help the laughter in her tone.

"Just saying," Castle replied with a shrug before their daughter was taking a bite. "See? She still ate."

"I see, don't forget your veggies sweetie," Beckett said, getting Josie's fork and spearing a carrot with it.

"And she's eating those," Castle said.

"She can have… another side another day," Beckett said since they'd had a little back and forth between the fries and vegetables for their youngest as they were ordering. "How's yours?" she then asked since Josie was eating again.

"Good," Castle said slowly since he had given her some of his scallops. "Unless you want more?" he asked.

"No," Beckett replied.

"I do," Josie said.

"I think you're fine with yours sweetie," Castle told her.

"She might want more of your sweet potatoes," Jim told his daughter.

"I'm not surprised," Beckett said in amusement, cutting one and putting it on her daughter's plate. "With your fork," she then told Josie before she could reach for it.

"Why're you watching your sister?" Mari asked Julia at the table next to her friend's family.

"I know Dad got scallops I was wondering if they were going to give some to Josa," the teen explained. She looked across their booth at Peter and Eve and said, "Having fun still?"

"We are," the latter said first.

"Are you going to the thing tonight?" Mari asked.

"The party thing? Yeah, but I don't know about dancing," Eve said, looking at her boyfriend.

"Me either," Peter said. "I feel like it's mostly going to be the little kids."

"Me too," Julia said. "But we could… dance on our own."

"You just want to dance don't you?" Mari asked her friend with a smile.

"You don't?" Julia challenged though they were laughing together. They soon stopped and she said, "I mean… like I said we don't have to go where everyone else is going to be."

"It would depend on the music too," Peter said. "What if it's all Disney songs?"

"We'll have to see," Julia said before they returned to their food. Once they'd finished she said, "Are we having dessert?" turning towards her family behind her.

"That depends, we can either have it here or somewhere else," Castle said, pretending to jump when all four kids at the next booth said, "Where?" at the same time. "You too?" he asked Josie since she'd spoken too.

"Yeah, I want to know," Josie said, saying the last word carefully.

"We're having it here," Beckett said. When her husband looked at her she said, "We only have the ice cream place for desserts outside of the restaurants." She then looked over at the kids saying, "Unless you guys want the same thing again."

"Not really," Eve said first, the others shaking their heads.

"Then pick what you'd like," Beckett said. "Julia?"

"Yeah?" she asked, a little started at how quickly her mother turned to her.

"Pick something besides the chocolate cake and sundae," Beckett explained.

"Why?" Julia said, confused about the chocolate cake.

"It has coffee crème," Martha said.

"Oh, well I think the mousse bomb looks interesting," Julia commented after she'd looked at the menu.

"I'm not surprised," Castle said. "And I think that's what we're getting."

"I'm getting the cake," Jim said.

"I'll probably get the same as Julia," Beckett told her husband when he looked at her questioningly. She wasn't surprised when he signaled to a waiter and they ordered their desserts before she called to Julia to tell Eliza to come over to their table.

"What is it Mommy?" the little girl asked in concern.

"It's okay," Beckett said with a smile. "What did you order for your dessert?"

"The sticky date pudding," Eliza said. She then became a little concerned and said, "It has ice cream."

"I saw and that's fine since that's not all it is," Beckett replied. She laughed when Eliza was hugging her tightly and embraced her back saying, "Go to your booth sweetie, your ice cream is going to melt."

Waving back to the little girl when she did so to him, Castle told his wife, "Have you decided on dancing?"

"I'll go, I'm just not sure about dancing," Beckett said. She then reached over and grabbed her husband's arm saying, "Unless you ask me but be very careful about that."

"Bhí mé ag pleanáil air," Castle said. He wasn't surprised when his wife was looking at him in slight surprise, since he'd told her he was planning on it and added to that saying, "Níl mé ag iarraidh riosca anocht."

Smirking at him, since he had told her the phrase 'I don't want to risk tonight,' Beckett leaned into him and said, "Shaobhadh."

"I'm still shocked they have a word for that in Irish," Castle commented since she'd said the word pervert.

"You mind me using it?" Beckett asked, keeping her voice down.

"No," Castle said into her ear before they had to turn their attention to the waiter bringing their desserts.

"Come here Josie," Beckett said, standing up to take the toddler out of her highchair. She sat down with her youngest on her lap and said, "We're going to share this."

"What is it?" Josie asked, looking at the bright red dome of the mousse.

"It's lemon and raspberry," Beckett explained, smiling when the toddler clapped her hands. She picked up the square of chocolate and split it in half, letting Josie take the smaller piece and eating the rest. Hearing her daughter humming she smiled at her husband and asked, "How's the cake?"

"Really good," Castle said. "Want some?" he asked her.

"A little," Beckett said after a brief hesitation. She watched him take off a piece before he fed her and she tried not to smile at their youngest's giggling before she swallowed and thanked him.

"You're welcome," Castle said, having to turn his attention back to his dessert as he'd felt an instant arousal feeding her. He got another piece for himself to eat and glanced at his wife just as she was looking at him. He reached down and took her hand, entwining their fingers and they squeezed at each other before letting go and looking across the table as his father in law was asking Josie if she was enjoying her dessert.

"Josie," Julia said laughingly as she peeked around the doorway of the bathroom. "You know you're not supposed to jump on the bed."

"I want the lights!" Josie cried, pointing above her.

"And do what?" Mari asked, walking around her friend.

"I don't know," Josie said, sitting down as she thought. "Am I trouble?" she asked as her big sister was walking out to her.

"No," Eve said from the doorway to the bathroom. She smiled when the three looked over at her and said, "I don't blame you those lights are awesome."

Julia smiled at her friend before she turned to Josie and said, "Come on, Gram will be here any minute."

"I don't go," Josie said. She pouted and said, "To bed?"

"You can say it all together," Julia assured her.

"I don't… want to… b- go to bed," Josie said slowly.

"Good job," Mari said while the toddler's sister was hugging her.

"Me too!" Sophie said, running up to the bedroom.

"Soph!" Jacob called, hurrying after his sister. "You can't run, I'll get in trouble with Mom and Dad!" he told his baby sister teasingly.

"No," Sophie said with a pout, soon smiling when everyone in the suite was laughing. At the knock on the door, she gasped and threw herself at her older sister saying, "I don't go."

"You need to, we all have to get some sleep remember," Eve said as their brother was going over to the door.

"Are the girls here?" Martha asked jokingly once she was inside.

"Yeah, they don't want to go to bed though," Jake replied.

"I'm not surprised," Martha said as she stepped towards the living room of the suite. Seeing Josie and Sophie being led over by their sisters she said, "We have a big day tomorrow remember."

"But I am not tired," Sophie said.

"Me too," Josie added quickly.

"You are," Martha assured them. "You just don't know it yet."

"Are you going to need help getting them to sleep?" Julia asked her grandmother.

"I'll be fine," Martha replied. "Come on girls," she then said, taking their hands before leading them to the door out to the verandah.

"Why did you come that way?" Clive asked as they were following.

"To make sure they knew it was me," Martha said with a smile. She paused in the doorway and then said to the siblings of the toddlers, "Did you say goodnight?" She smiled when the three siblings hurried to their sisters and she let the toddlers go to allow them to do that.
"We'll go with you to the Finding Nemo part," Julia was telling Josie. "Only Lizzy can go with you to the water though but Maddy and Keo can go too."

"And me," Sophie said.

"And Sophie," Josie said, pointing to her friend.

"Of course," Julia said slightly laughingly at how serious the two were. "And hopefully Mom and Dad will let you go in the other pools we saw too so we can all go together."

"Julia," Martha told her granddaughter gently.

"I have to sleep?" Josie said.

"Yeah, we're going to have to soon too," Julia replied before she hugged Josie tightly since she was holding her. Feeling her sister respond she soon pulled back and said, "Night, have fun in your bed."

"I will," Josie said. "You too?"

"Definitely," Julia said before her baby sister was pursing her lips. She laughed softly and then shared a kiss with her before setting her down. She watched Eve kissing Sophie goodnight before setting her down and the toddlers told them goodnight before they were going into their stateroom.

Closing and locking the door to the verandah once they were in their suite, Eve said, "I really hope she can get them to fall asleep."

"She will," Julia said.

"Soph though?" Jacob pointed out.

"Yeah, she's good at that," Julia replied. "Plus I think she would tell Sophie her parents would take her to their room… your parents."

"True, Soph wants them to kiss as much as we do," Jacob said.

"He's right," Eve said with a smile while the others were laughing. "Okay, now we don't need to worry," she told her brother.

"I wasn't exactly worried," Jacob replied. "I just didn't want her to have trouble with two toddlers."

"She won't," Julia replied. "But what're we going to do? We have… a while."

"And we're still dressed," Jacob said.

"No," Eve told her brother. When the others looked at her, startled, she said, "He's thinking of going around on the ship. We'd never get permission for that."

"It was a thought," Jacob said. "What about the verandah?"

"We could," Julia said quickly. "But I would close the door to the wall."

"And we'd need to be quiet," Clive told them. "I think the couch in that room is really close to the sliding door."

"It's too much of a risk," Eve said, looking at her brother.

"I realized when she was talking about closing the door," Jacob said. "Well, since that's out what do we do next?"

"We can watch TV again," Mari suggested.

"Is anything good on today?" Peter asked.

"It's a Saturday," Eve reminded the others.

"But early so I think the answer is no," Marie said before they were laughing while they were gathering on the long couch.

"We can cast something from our phones," Jacob suggested.

"Are you sure?" Clive asked. "I didn't think that was a smart TV."

"It is, he checked," Eve said in amusement. "What're you thinking of though?"

"Well, I have Paramount Plus on here," Jacob said. When his sister continued to look at him he said, "The cruise ship show." When no one said anything he said, "So you've all seen it."

"We have," Peter said for himself and his brother.

"My family too," Julia said, Mari next to her nodding.

"We have," Marie said. "Mum and Mom love that show. But what would we watch?"

"There's a Carnival one," Julia said. "I heard my dad telling my mom he probably wouldn't pick from there or… I think it's called Royal Caribbean."

"Why?" Marie and Kathleen asked at the same time.

"I think their trips are shorter," Julia replied. "Mom said they have a lot of things to do on the ships but he said she deserves luxury. So of course she teased him about the first cruise being on a Disney ship."

"It's pretty luxurious here," Peter said, looking around the living room.

"I think it was more the trips," Julia said. "He told her after that he looked at the other cruise lines and it was the trips." She smiled and then said, "He likes to spoil her."

"Isn't it more their kids he likes to spoil?" Clive asked with a frown.

Shaking her head Julia said, "He told me when I was younger that Mom was always very careful with her money before they got married. So he wants to make sure she has the best." She couldn't help laughing briefly before she added, "And then he said if us kids got spoiled too then oh well."

Laughing all together, the kids soon calmed down before Jacob said, "Our dad tries to do that. But she always tells him to stop it."

"Our mom came from money," Eve explained to her boyfriend and Clive. "Our dad has but not a ton but they share an account so who cares."

"Our parents both have money," Peter commented. "From the start. But I think Dad spoils Mom."

"Our mum had more money than Mom from her parents but Mom is a doctor so it works out even," Kathleen said with a shrug.

"Oh, my dad is higher in class in the Hamptons," Mari said, startled when the others had looked at her. "His grandfather had some construction businesses that worked on the island and Staten Island so there was money from there. Plus the Fosters were as high as you could get without being the original Dutch families though my ancestor that came here first lied about being British, he was Irish."

"Really? I never heard that before," Jacob said.

"There's not a lot to it," Mari said with a shrug. "His last name was Finnin in Ireland and that was it. No one ever found out but it's been told in the family. I guess so we don't forget we're Irish. And my mom's a lawyer so she has money too. Why are we talking about that?"

"I think because it came up," Julia told her friend. "But I guess we should watch something before we run out of time."

"Speaking of that, I think we have time for two shows," Marie said, looking at the clock near them. She then looked at Julia and asked, "What other cruise line was your father looking at?"

"If you really want a spoiler, we should watch the Viking river one. I forgot the ship's name," the teen replied, smiling. "Remember he told us about the Christmas cruise earlier today."

"I can't wait for that," Eve said. "And I think I know the episode you're talking about. It isn't a spoiler."

Laughing Julia said, "It's Europe isn't it?"

"Why don't I put that one first?" Jacob asked. "So we'll forget it faster."

After they'd all laughed, they were turning to the TV to watch the river cruise episode, settling in for what they'd be doing until they needed to go to bed.

Finishing her coffee Beckett told her husband, "I'm surprised you wanted coffee."

"Why?" Castle asked her with a slight frown.

"We're going to be busy with the kids tomorrow," Beckett told him teasingly. "We need some sleep." She was a little startled when he appeared dismayed and reached out to him, taking his hand as she said reassuringly, "I'm only kidding. I meant what I said at dinner."

"I was hoping," Castle said seriously. He then turned his hand so he could entwine their fingers and said, "Can I ask you now what you think?"

"I'm enjoying it," Beckett assured him, fighting the urge to tease him about his joking tone though she was aware he was serious too. "And I will tomorrow too. Though I'm wondering if the kids will be okay with another day at the pools."

"I was thinking of spending Monday with Josie," Castle said. "To give your dad and Mother a break." Studying his wife he said, "You thought the same?"

"I did," Beckett replied. "But," she said, slipping her hand from his and moving to set their mugs on the table to her right. "That's tomorrow and Monday," she continued, looking at her husband. She was gasping suddenly when he was grabbing her, though that soon slipped into a laugh as he pulled her onto his lap. "Then we agree," she told him with a smile.

"Definitely," Castle said, pulling her closer to him so he could kiss her. He did so lightly at first, pulling away enough so he could see her reaction but before he could gauge it she was kissing him. Hurrying to respond, he couldn't help himself and he reached for her blouse, tugging it out from her trousers before she was pushing his hands away. "Let me," he mumbled a little against her lips.

"Not yet," Beckett replied before closing the gap between them. She wasn't surprised when her husband was quick to beat her and his tongue was slipping in between her lips. Clutching at him a little harder she soon had to pull away fully when he was opening her pants. "Not, not here," she stammered slightly.

"The curtains…" Castle started to say before he trailed off. "Okay," he said after glancing at the windows he'd already covered. He got up then and followed her into the room, sliding the door closed after them before he felt her hands pulling his shirt out of his jeans. "Why am I not surprised," he said before he was grabbing for her.

"I did want to move," Beckett said when her husband shortly after had her against the door, holding her arms up lightly by her wrists.

"I know, but I want to do this," Castle said, reaching for her blouse. As he'd expected she was grabbing his hands and he allowed her to lead the way to their bed though it wasn't far. He was relieved since he was reaching for her blouse again which she allowed him to pull off that time. Trying not to be too rough, he soon had it off and let it fall to the side of them before he was about to gather her in his arms.

Stopping him Beckett said, "I want the same."

Since her tone of voice was so firm, Castle nodded in response and watched her reach for the buttons on his shirt, soon assisting her before she had it open. He tossed it with hers while she was running her hands over his chest and he was soon groaning in pleasure at her touch.

"I'm not stopping," Beckett said.

"I hope not," Castle said sternly. Seeing her looking up at him he said seriously, "I'm enjoying it, this."

Beckett merely smiled before she said, "Let me first okay?"

Opening his mouth to protest, Castle paused and said, "As long as you don't move…" He trailed off when she was opening his fly and said, "Should I have bothered?"

"Not really," Beckett said teasingly before he was placing his fingers under her chin. She was ready for his kiss as she tilted her head up and parted her lips for him when his tongue slipped inside of her mouth again. Though she was tempted to wrap her arms around him, she resisted and was soon reaching inside of his boxers, ending their kiss.

"Kate you…" Castle started to say before he was trailing off when he let her go. He wasn't very startled when she then moved to push his boxers off of his hips and was quick to move with her before he had everything off. "How am I naked first?" he asked her since she only had her blouse off. When she merely shrugged at him he started to speak before stopping himself and reaching for her, embracing her as he kissed her before he was reaching for the back of her bra.

Feeling the fabric loosening around her, Beckett nearly smiled but wasn't able to manage it as he was pulling it off her shortly after. She'd half expected him to start touching her, so when he was fondling her it wasn't a great surprise. But she soon stopped him before she told him, "Don't… not yet, okay?"

"Yeah," Castle said though he couldn't help himself and cupped her breasts very gently with his hands. He wasn't surprised when she was moving them and he pushed himself to focus on the rest of her clothes.

Assisting him, Beckett was smiling when her husband was reaching for her, wrapping his arms around her before she slipped away. Before he could protest, she took his hand and pulled him with her before they were getting on the bed. She lay on her back and was smiling to find Castle was following her eagerly before his lips were taking hers. Wrapping her arms around him tightly, she was running her hands around his back to feel his muscles until he was pulling back first so they could catch their breath.

"You're… thank you," Castle told her, smiling when she laughed. "For still doing this, it was a busy day."

"Hmm, not enough," Beckett replied. "Look at what we did at dinner."

"True," Castle said before he leaned into her and brushed his lips to hers. When he pulled back a little he was looking into her eyes for a moment before they were moving at the same time and kissing each other passionately. She clung to him and while he was caressing the side of her breast and hip with one hand at the same time she was moaning into his mouth before she was pulling away. Watching her breathing heavily, he moved to kiss around her neck and collarbone before she was pulling him to her.

"I thought I would be happy doing that for… a while but…" Beckett started to say before she was trailing off, her husband nodding in agreement.

"Me too but… I think you can feel the situation I'm in," Castle replied. He was grunting heavily when his wife arched her hips up against him and she brushed against his erection. "And that's not going to stop if you keep doing that."

"Is that a threat?" Beckett teased him. She gasped when he was suddenly making her turn onto her stomach and she looked back at him before he slapped at her ass. He wasn't particularly hard in that and she started to say his name before he was grasping at her with one hand. She bit her lower lip in reaction to the sensation of his touch before he let her go and she rolled back. "Love," she told him.

"Yes?" Castle asked though he was taking the opportunity to rake his eyes over her body.

"Make love to me," Beckett begged him after a moment's pause. She wasn't surprised when he nodded in response before he bowed his head to her breasts. She squeezed at his back as he proceeded to kiss around her mounds before he moved very shortly after to suckle at each nipple in turn. Tilting her head back, she gasped while his mouth was working around her and then moaned when he was suddenly sliding inside of her. "Rick you…" she started to say when his pulled back from her chest as soon as their hips were pressed together.

"I had to," Castle said huskily as he was reaching for her left leg behind him. Once they were wrapped around his waist he carefully pulled back, looking on while she was crying out in joy, and he then pushed back inside her. Her arms and legs about him tightened their grip and he leaned down, unable to help brushing his lips to hers before he moved back again to watch her. The expressions on her face in response to his thrusts were exhilarating and he had to fight not to move crazily. Just managing to do that he told her, "This was what you wanted?"

"Yes," Beckett moaned bending her head to the right before her husband was kissing at her left shoulder and then her ear. She let out a slightly throaty cry when he nibbled at her lobe and called his name before he was slowing down even more. "Rick…" she told him a second time when he was just barely moving within her.

Watching her while he was doing that for a little, Castle then said, "I want you to feel my cock love."

"I do," Beckett was able to say. She felt him speed up a little in response to her but wasn't able to react verbally since he was kissing her. Doing her best to respond to him, she found it a little difficult before he was moving to her breasts again. Feeling him only kissing at them she was about to speak when he was moving to her lips. That time she ended their kisses after a little and told him, "What're you doing?"

"What works better for you?" Castle said seriously. He wasn't surprised when she looked startled and he told her, "I want you to be pleasured."

"I already am," Beckett said. "You're… you're d-distracting me," she told him before he was brushing his lips against hers. "Just that."

"I know," Castle said before he focused on moving inside of her. He had no clue how long he was doing that, only when his wife was getting his attention by pulling him to her to kiss her.

Beckett was relieved when her husband understood what she wanted and they were kissing each other sensuously. The sensation of their bodies moving together along with their tongues rubbing against one another was almost too much and she pulled away to gasp his name. When he asked what she wanted, she was amazed she was able to tell him, "Can you… fuck me… a little." She wasn't surprised when he was looking at her with a slightly startled expression and told him, "A little," again. She thought he would question her, but he was shortly after beginning to move harder. She let out a short cry as their skin slapped together and was relieved he was doing so for a short time before he was slowing down again. When she felt his pace stuttering she said, "Are you-"

"I'm not going to last," Castle told her seriously, going even slower. "I'm… you can't be that far either," he then said, pulling back enough so he could look at her. When she was only nodding in response he shuddered as he was pulling back and groaned when he slipped out of her.

"It's alright," Beckett told him, reaching down before he could. She curled her fingers gently around him and drew him back to her, letting him take over before he was sinking within her again. She was moaning in pleasure at the sensation of him slowly moving, spreading her sex and she was surprised they both weren't orgasming at that point. She found she was breathing a little hard at the feeling of him when he remained still in her and she told him, "You're right, we've been doing this for a while."

"Do you want me to make you come?" Castle asked her. When she only nodded, he was brushing his lips to hers before he said, "Tell me Kate."

Biting at her lower lip, Beckett said, "Make me come Rick, I want to feel you coming deep inside of my pussy." When he began to thrust in her as soon as she'd stopped speaking, she was inhaling a little hard while she was holding onto her husband's back tightly. Doing her best to withstand the stimulation his length was giving her as he was moving a little harder that time in her, she realized it was a losing battle. "Rick I'm… I'm going to come…" she gasped heavily while he sped up again and she was losing her own pace. Having been trying to keep up with her husband the entire time it became too much and the tightly wound coil inside her body released, leading her to begin writhing under him.

Hearing the way his wife was calling his name in ecstasy, Castle did his best not to lose all of his self control though it became difficult since he was orgasming as well. Feeling the way Beckett was dragging her nails over his back he groaned her name before he couldn't stop and was ramming inside of her. He wasn't aware he was arousing his wife again before he felt her coming. The feeling of her sex spasming around him was too much and he came for a second time as well, doing his best not to hurt her while the pleasure was so intense.

When her orgasm had ended, Beckett was breathing hard but gently caressing at the back of his head while she enjoyed his thrusts still through her sex. Eventually he gave her a last, rough one, and she moved to kiss the side of his head while he buried his face into her neck. "Don't say anything," she told him. She smiled when he grunted and said, "I did want you to fuck me before didn't I?"

"True," Castle said simply into her skin. When she laughed a little he sighed and then pulled away saying, "That was enjoyable. Coming twice."

"It was, I feel like I haven't been doing that very often lately," Beckett told him.

"Neither have I," Castle agreed. He then kissed her lightly before he said, "Though if it had been once…"

"Speaking of that," Beckett replied. She wasn't surprised her husband understood what she wasn't saying and carefully pulled away from her though they were both sighing in frustration. "We can try tomorrow night," she told him as he was moving to his side of the bed.

Freezing for a moment, Castle turned to her and said, "I'm going to remind you."

"It's why I said try," Beckett told him simply.

Nodding, Castle then said, "I promise I won't push you if we do… a lot tomorrow."

Beckett smiled and said, "How many times have I heard that?"

"I have to reassure you don't I?" Castle asked, leaning into her and kissing her gently to see what her reaction would be. When she was responding he was immediately deepening it while she was wrapping her arms around him. When he slowly pulled away he told her, "I love you Kate."

"I love you too," Beckett replied, reaching up and gently running her fingers through his hair.

"Don't," Castle said after he'd shuddered in obvious arousal. "I… we need to sleep don't we?"

"Yes," Beckett said though she was disappointed while they were letting each other go reluctantly.

"Keep tomorrow night in mind," Castle said before he was making a face. "Why did we trade places?"

"You started it," Beckett told him teasingly. When he looked at her in obvious confusion she explained saying, "At dinner?"

"You can't be mad at me for that," Castle said in the same tone.

"No," Beckett replied firmly before she was leaning into him. She was pleased when they were kissing yet again though it didn't last for long. Sighing when they were apart she told him, "We need to sleep."

"Yeah," Castle said, running his hands up and down her sides. When she reached for them and stopped him he sighed before he leaned into her and they kissed again before they were moving to lay down.

Pressing against her husband's side Beckett told him, "Goodnight love."

"Night Kate," Castle said. "Tell me about your dreams?"

"If you do the same," Beckett teased before they were kissing tenderly. With that she settled against his side again before she listened to the sounds of the ship mixed with the sound of Castle's breathing. She eventually smiled before she closed her eyes and let herself fall asleep, anticipating her dreams of her husband that night.
