"Can we get the bowling game now?" Eliza asked hopefully.
"You can," Beckett said. "But remember to go in order of youngest to oldest."
"We will," Eliza replied before hurrying inside. She wasn't surprised the youngest McDouglases and Dani were with her, but when she turned she was to find Maddy and Keo were there too. "Where are the youngest?" she asked.
"I think the grandparents stopped them," Fleur answered. She smiled and then said, "They wanted to follow though."
"They shouldn't worry," Ivy told her sister as they were moving to leave with the game in the birthday girl's hand. "They're going to be first."
"I probably should have told her that," Eliza said with a smile before stepping out. She went to the end of the verandah where the Jacuzzi was, since they'd finished using the hot tub, and with her friends' help they were setting up the pins.
"I think you're first Soph," Jacob said, getting his sister's attention.
"Me?" the toddler asked in surprise.
"Yeah, come on," Eve said. "You need to pick one of us to help you."
"No," Sophie said firmly.
"Yeah," Josie said, nodding rapidly.
"No?" everyone on the verandah said at nearly the same time before the toddlers were laughing followed by everyone else.
"You want to do it on your own?" Eve asked her sister when they'd calmed down. She wasn't surprised when the toddler nodded, and hugged her before saying, "Okay, but if you need help just ask us."
"Can I say to you?" Josie asked Julia after her friend had thrown the bowling ball.
"Of course," Julia replied, not surprised when her sister was hugging her tightly. She responded before they waited for Sophie to finish and her little sister was stepping up as Jacob was putting the pins back in place.
After the kids had all taken one turn each, Beckett turned to her husband and asked, "Are you ready?"
"Yeah, I get the feeling the kids are," Castle said with a smile, glancing over at them since they had turned to listen to them since his wife hadn't kept her voice down.
"We all are," Darnley said.
"Are you speaking for us?" Brad asked in obvious amusement.
"Basically," Darnley replied. "It's not really that early of course."
"And there's presents!" Iris said eagerly.
Laughing with the other adults, Beckett eventually said, "Okay, then keep playing because I need a minute."
Castle wasn't surprised when Skye and Rebecca moved to follow his wife inside of the suite before he realized Julia was with him. "What's wrong?" he asked her.
Unable to help smiling, the teen told him, "Nothing, I'm not getting a present."
"You're going to argue about that now?" Castle asked wryly. "After we wrapped it and everything." He wasn't surprised when she rolled her eyes and told her, "Enjoy it while you can, when you're older we're probably not going to do that." He became startled at her look and he said, "What?"
"I really don't think you're going to stop," Julia said.
"Not unless you're embarrassed to celebrate like that in front of your kids," Castle replied jokingly.
"You want me to have kids now," Julia told him teasingly. When he pursed his lips she laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck for a hug before she said, "It is nice but don't think you have to."
"I don't," Castle said, pulling back from their embrace to look at her. "I want to, we want to."
Looking over her shoulder, Julia saw her sister was there and she laughed when Eliza was shortly after nodding rapidly. "Thanks," she told her before they were turning to the doorway as Skye was stepping out onto the verandah.
"Is everyone ready?" the investigator asked the others with a smile. At the nods she was getting she started to sing Happy Birthday and wasn't surprised when the others except for the four they were singing to joined her.
Walking out with the cake, Beckett sang along with the others until she was at the table her husband was sitting at. She set it in front of him and saw the beaming smiles on Julia and Eliza's faces when they made out what was on the top of it. She took a few pictures of them with her camera that had been on the table, along with her phone, as Josie was laughing and clapping eagerly.
Once the others had finished the song, Castle told them hurriedly, "Help me blow these out girls," before he was leaning over and they blew out the candles.
Applauding with the others Mari said to all four, "You all made it onto the cake."
"Yes, though why am I dressed like Sherlock Holmes?" Castle said, pretending to sound annoyed. He laughed when his wife kissed the top of his head while she was removing the candles before she murmured into his ear.
Laughing, since she'd heard what her mother said, Eliza told her, "Is that true?"
"It is," Beckett said before moving to start cutting into the cake.
"What, you're not going to tell us?" Skye asked.
"She said that it's…" Eliza said before frowning and looking at her parents.
"It's representational," Castle said. "I was as dogged in my determination investigating with her when we first met as he was in the books."
"It's one of many reasons why I fell in love with him," Beckett said, focusing on the cake since she felt it had been photographed enough. She was avoiding the figurines she had ordered herself since she wanted those to last a little longer. She had planned everything, the light blue color of the cake with a stripe of darker blue at the bottom edge, along with how the four would be on the cake. Her husband had a deerstalker cap and magnifying glass, Julia was in ballet slippers in first position, Eliza was holding a saddle and Josie was dressed in a bathing suit with an inner tube around her waist.
"I swim on the cake," Josie said to her father.
"I know, I think we're all doing something fun," Castle said, taking the plate with two pieces of cake from his wife once Julia and Eliza had theirs. "Ready to share with me?" he asked the toddler. He wasn't surprised when she nodded and once they had their forks they began eating while the others were getting their slices and doing the same.
"Presents now?" Eliza couldn't help asking when they had eventually finished eating.
"I'm ready for those too," Castle commented while his wife was making him stay seated with Josie on his lap.
"After we clear everything up," Beckett told him firmly. She then moved to get the plates off the table before Darnley, Skye and Lily were helping her take everything in.
"You got the perfect sized cake," Brad told his friend as he sat next to him.
"Kate did," Castle replied with a smile. "But yeah, I know she had the last night of the cruise in mind when she ordered it."
"And the figures?" Julia asked him.
"They're fine," Castle said, looking at her pointedly.
Julia was about to speak before she stopped herself and then said, "Right." She was about to head to the inside of the suite when she was being grabbed and she said with a gasp, "Why-"
"Your mom told me to make sure to keep you outside," Mari said with a wide smile since she'd held her arm to stop her.
"I only have one gift," Julia said in mock annoyance.
"It's what she said," Mari replied with a shrug, not surprised when her friend was rolling her eyes. She let her go before they turned and saw the others that had gone inside were walking out with packages.
"Thank you Mari," Beckett told the girl when she was close to them. "I hope you don't mind," she then said to her daughter.
"No, but still," Julia said pretending to sound frustrated. She smiled when her mother pulled her into a hug and once they let each other go she said to her father, "I'm first?"
"No, we'll go in order of age," Castle said firmly. He then turned his attention to Josie and said, "You'll have gifts next month, we promise. Okay?"
"Kay, can I help you?" Josie asked.
"I think you can," Castle said before his wife could speak.
"Let Daddy open one at least," Eliza told her baby sister.
"Yeah," Josie said, nodding her head. She then turned her attention to the presents and watched her mother giving one to Eliza.
After they had opened nearly everything, Josie moved to her mother so Castle could unwrap his last one.
"You didn't have to leave," he told her as he was tearing away the paper.
"It was her choice," Beckett said with a smile since Josie had moved her arms to enfold her body. "And apparently she's staying," she added, amusement still in her tone.
"I guess so," Castle said while he was uncovering the small box under the paper. Once he'd given it to Brad, who'd held a bag to store the paper and boxes so they wouldn't blow away, he took off the lid and laughed seeing it was a pair of cufflinks. "Thank you love," he said.
"What are they?" Dani asked.
"Cufflinks with the girls' silhouettes on them," Castle said, letting Julia take them first.
"She's right, from that picture we did at Disneyland?" the teen asked her mother.
"It is," Beckett replied. "I should have had those made a lot sooner but I wasn't sure if you really wanted them."
"I do, I'll definitely wear them," Castle assured her as they were being passed around. "Don't worry."
"When?" Eliza couldn't help asking.
"Well," Castle said, wrapping his arm around her. "I think I'd like a tradition for Father's Day."
"When we're on vacation?" Eliza asked in surprise.
"Even then," Castle said. "But if it's possible I'd like us to have a very nice dinner that night… and I'll wear these…"
"Oh no, he got an idea," Brad said.
"I was just going to say," David said with a smile. "He did that the first time we met him when he was thinking of the book he was working on at the time."
"Hey, that plot was giving me a lot of problems," Castle said, pointing accusingly at the mayor though he was soon beginning to laugh.
"They're not wrong though," Beckett teased her husband.
"I know, but I just realized I'll make these my cruise cufflinks," Castle said. "If it's all right with the four of you," he directed to Julia and Eliza, unsurprised when the latter was giggling.
"Yeah, that's fine," Julia said, glancing at her sister who calmed down.
"Yeah, it makes them special, I almost forgot we were on a ship," Eliza said, explaining her laughter at the end.
"Was it a good birthday?" Fleur asked her friend.
"Yep," Eliza said happily. "I just wish I had my boots now."
"You will once we go riding at home," Beckett told her firmly. She and Castle had gifted her with new riding boots since her old ones were starting to fall apart and she hadn't been shocked their daughter had asked where they were seeing the picture of them.
"So until then," Skye said jokingly. "What'll we be doing next?" She pretended to groan when the kids were rushing over to her and said, "Even the babies are asking me to sing," laughing when the two toddlers were protesting. "Alright, young ladies," she said teasingly before the two were nodding rapidly.
"Not yet," Brad said, Castle protesting as well.
"Calm down, you know I'm only joking," Skye said. "So… what'll it be from the birthday girls."
"And what am I?" Castle asked though he was smiling as he spoke.
"Not a young lady," Skye said before she was laughing while the writer was shaking his head in mock annoyance. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself with that opportunity. What are we singing though?" She watched as Eliza bit her lower lip and then rushed up to her before whispering to her. "Two songs?" she asked.
"Yeah… we can right?" Eliza asked, looking at her mother.
"I think one is enough," Beckett said.
"Okay," Skye said. She turned her attention back to Eliza and asked, "The first?" When the girl nodded with a smile she was then looking at her wife to see if she was ready. "Nice," she said with a smile when the doctor was holding up her phone. At the incline of her head she then watched the kids moving to start dancing as the music was playing before she began to sing, her wife joining her.
The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling; that's the power of love
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night
You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love
First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it, it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
That's the power makes the world go 'round
And it don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden it can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Can you feel it?
At the guitar solo there, Beckett said laughingly to her husband while they were dancing, "I hope this is a good end to the night."
"With them," Castle murmured to her. He watched her smile fall off her face a little before he held her closer for a moment and then spun her. Hearing her laughter at the suddenness of that, he was pulling her tight again while they danced to the rest of the song.
It don't take money and it don't take fame
Don't need to credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You won't feel nothin' till you feel
You feel the power, just feel the power of love
That's the power, that's the power of love
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Feel the power of love
"Oh, thank you," Skye said. "Well, how're we on time?"
"I think the youngest are going to need to go soon," Martha told her daughter in law gently.
Nodding, Beckett said, "No one wants to bowl one more time before we go to bed?" She wasn't surprised when the kids were agreeing and hurrying to get the game so they could play before they would need to go to their rooms early in anticipation of disembarking the next day.
Settling himself back on the bed, Castle looked at the end of it to the covers before he said to his wife, "Are you going to take longer?"
"No," Beckett said simply. She paused before she said, "Why're you so impatient?"
"It's a little cool in here," Castle said. He smiled when he could hear her laughing in the bathroom before he said, "I am naked remember."
"I know," Beckett said, stepping out into the room and walking over to the side of the bed. She smiled at her husband's expression and said, "Disappointed?"
"Never," Castle said, having pushed himself in a hurry to the edge of the mattress. As soon as he could he was reaching for her and pulling her close to kiss her deeply while he wrapped his arms around her waist since she was still above him. He ran his hands over the black silk of her negligee, the one she'd worn their first trip to the Hamptons together, and when they slowly parted he told her, "Though it might not stay on for that long."
"It's why this is the only piece of lingerie I have now," Beckett said with a smile. She flicked her tongue out briefly to her swollen lower lip to feel it before she told him, "I'm guessing you don't mind that."
"No, lingerie is honestly overrated," Castle replied rubbing his hands up and down her back.
"Rick," Beckett said simply. She was trying to be serious since he was deliberately tugging up the fabric but she was soon biting at her lower lip while his hands were slipping underneath it fully to cup her ass.
"Do you want me to stop?" Castle asked her. He wasn't surprised when she shook her head and he was gently massaging at her for a little. He made himself stop so he could pull her onto his lap and he let out a brief grunt when she brushed against his erection.
"What were you thinking about while I was changing?" Beckett asked him before she was tensing at her husband cupping her breasts through the negligee.
"What else?" Castle said simply. "You and… doing this," he told her. He was a little surprised when she stopped him suddenly and looked up at her questioningly.
"So that means you know what you want to do," Beckett replied. She was startled when her husband very obviously hesitated and she said, "No? Or are you being a pervert?" teasing him at the end.
"The latter," Castle said, unable to help smiling at her tone. He kept doing so when she was laughing and he moved to kiss her lightly on the lips before he said, "And I know what I want first."
Beckett was a little taken aback when her husband was telling her by murmuring into her ear but she forgot that when he related what exactly he wanted to do. When he pulled away she wasn't surprised his look was a little questioning and she leaned down to kiss him sensuously. She had intended that to be quick but he wrapped his arms a little tighter around her and she couldn't resist. His tongue swept along her lower lip and she parted them both eagerly before they were dueling together, tangling around each other and caressing until they needed to breathe.
"Should I ask what you think?" Castle told her. He wasn't surprised when she kissed him again, but was brief, before he said, "This is… in the way."
Smiling, since she was aware at that point what he wanted her to do, Beckett got up off his lap and reached for the bottom of the fabric. Pulling the negligee off of her she let it fall to the floor before they were kissing again. At the same time they were moving to get onto the bed though it was a little difficult to do both that and continue their kiss. Eventually she pulled away laughingly and said, "We'll never start."
"I know, but I've been… aching to do that all day," Castle said. "We didn't have many chances."
"No," Beckett said, caressing his cheek before she watched him moving to sit on the bed. She wasn't surprised when he was reaching out to her and after taking his hand she straddled him, facing away from him.
As he'd told his wife, he was grabbing his length with his other hand before he helped guide her to lower herself onto him. Their breathing began to speed up in conjunction with the tip of his erection just spreading her folds to enter her. He was pleased to feel how wet she was and soon she was surrounding him, squeezing around him tight and making him debate his request.
"You're thinking of… of changing your mind aren't you?" Beckett asked, her voice faltering for a moment as she had stretched her legs out next to his.
"For a second," Castle said, deciding he wanted to stick with his idea once her legs were pressed to his own. He reached down and ran his hands over her breasts, deliberately flicking his fingers over her nipples. Nuzzling at her ear through her hair and getting the scent of roses from her locks he asked her huskily, "Can you do it?"
"Yes," Beckett breathed since her husband's hands were cupping her mounds shortly after he'd spoken. She was going to say more, but the way Castle was caressing at her stalled her and she took in the sensation of his hands. "Rick I…" she started to say before trailing off and leaning back against him.
"Stay like that," Castle told her seriously. "You should be able to reach better."
Beckett nodded instead of responding verbally and moved her right hand off the top of his thigh before she reached in between them. Since she was still leaning back on her husband it wasn't hard for her to reach in between his legs and beneath his erection. She was also able to feel how tense he was before he was jerking against her back at her touch. His rapid breathing and groans were right next to her ear and she did her best not to move against his member though it was difficult as time went on.
After a while of his wife fondling him, Castle told her, "You're… I'm going to… come Kate."
"I can tell," Beckett said, stopping his hand from touching her clit. "You didn't want to do that," she reminded him when she'd heard his grunt of surprise.
"But…" Castle started to say before he trailed off when she suddenly squeezed at his scrotum. "Kate," he groaned out heavily. She was soon fondling and caressing again and he breathed out hard against her shoulder at the sensation before he said, "I'm still-"
"Then come love," Beckett told him firmly. She wasn't surprised when she only had to say that and her husband was reaching his climax, thrusting inside of her and making her hold onto her self control though it was close. The stimulation of friction between the two of them was intense, but he eventually slowed down before he stopped and was letting her go. She turned her head to look at him over her shoulder and asked, "Okay?"
"Yeah, I think so," Castle said, catching his breath. He groaned again when she was getting off of him and he forced his eyes open to watch her immediately closing her legs together once he could.
"So what did you want to do now?" Beckett asked him once she was sitting next to him. She was startled when he was suddenly making her lay on the middle of the bed where he'd been though she didn't stop him. As he made her spread her legs, she said, "Are you going to start now?"
"No," Castle said, leaning down to her and kissing her tenderly. When he pulled back shortly after he said, "It's still my choice."
"It is," Beckett said, feeling her excitement rise with that statement. She wasn't surprised when her husband was smirking at her slightly and she said, "Please, I could have come the way you felt inside of me."
"You will," Castle said seriously before he was moving to kiss at her breasts. Hearing his wife's moans of pleasure at each one he gave her he was soon moving to indulge himself, suckling at her nipples in turn. Beckett's vocal reaction let him know she had been pushed far in arousal while pleasuring him, so he soon pulled back and kissed his way to her stomach before he reached her clit.
"Rick-" Beckett started to say in slight concern when her husband was kissing at it gently.
"Don't worry," Castle interrupted him. "I was able to plan this already so I know what I'm going to do."
Though she wanted to ask him what that plan was, Beckett felt his hand squeezing at her thigh and she nodded. She pushed herself up a little to watch while he was kissing down her stomach again before he was at the swollen nub, gently kissing it a few times. When he latched onto it and proceeded to suck, she was gasping and falling back on the pillows under her in her pleasure. She was startled when he was suddenly pulling back and she looked down at him again while he was sliding up against her body.
"I'll take care of you," Castle said reassuringly once he was close to her face. He smiled briefly when she nodded before he leaned down and captured her lips with his own. While they were kissing deeply he moved his hand over her thigh until it was at her sex and he was very carefully rubbing the pads of his first two fingers against her clit. That ended the kiss swiftly but he didn't mind, enjoying the pleasure that was masking her face in response to him.
Beckett wanted to ask her husband if he planned on making her come that way when his fingers were sliding inside of her. "Oh! You… like that?" she gasped before calming a little when he stopped.
"Yeah, unless you want something else," Castle said. When his wife was shaking her head swiftly he said, "You're not just saying that because it's my birthday are you?"
"No," Beckett replied, squeezing his left hand that had taken her own. She did it a second time a little harder when his fingers began to move and she arched against him a little. "Oh thank you… I need… I need to come," she breathed to him once she had realized his rhythm.
"You're welcome," Castle said. He watched her for a little before he asked her, "Are you close?" He wasn't surprised when she merely nodded her head and he was moving his fingers a little harder before she was writhing against him. He tried to hold her steady but it was impossible and she was crying out his name while she was literally milking his fingers. Smiling as she gasped and moaned alternately, he didn't stop moving until she was still and he carefully withdrew his hand. He was about to reach for a tissue when she was stopping him.
"If you want me to lick them clean I will," Beckett said before opening her eyes to look at her husband with a smile.
"Yes," Castle said simply, not surprised when his wife was laughing in reaction. He was serious as he watched her and then asked, "Will it help you, doing that?"
Nodding Beckett took his hand and gently kissed the palm before she took his first two fingers in her mouth. She gently raised and lowered around it, rubbing her tongue along the digits to clean them off fully before she pulled off them with an audible pop. Seeing the expression on her husband's face she smiled and without a word made him lay on his back. Before he could say anything she was leaning down and taking his erection in her mouth, bobbing her head twice before she slowly pulled back from him.
"Vixen," Castle said huskily once he had opened his eyes and was looking at her.
"Are you mad?" Beckett asked him teasingly before she was letting out a cry at her husband laying her on her back in the middle of the mattress. Laughing briefly she said, "That could go either way."
"I'm not sure," Castle said before he was nudging her legs with his knee. Once they were apart he settled between and said, "Though you might make it up to me."
"How?" Beckett asked. She wasn't surprised when her husband was kissing her and she was quick to respond to him before she was suddenly above him. "What-" she started to say in confusion before she was interrupted by him trying to tickle her sides. She did her best to stop him by pushing his hands away, but he wasn't allowing her to do that and it came to her what he wanted. She grabbed him a little hard and flipped them both around so he was on top of her. "That doesn't really work…" she said as she realized their position.
"No, but that was awesome," Castle said, soon moving to put her above him already. "Though… I guess a reverse wrestling session works," he told her with a smile since she was rolling her eyes.
"Of course you'd say that," Beckett told him wryly as she looked at the bed. She wasn't surprised when she looked at back at him to find he was staring at her with a serious expression on his face. She lost the smile on hers and leaned into him so they could kiss. Making it gentle at first, she was pleased when her husband was following her and could feel her arousal rising again. They deepened the kiss until they needed to part to breathe and she wasn't surprised he was carefully sitting up. She moved at his guidance to lay on her back and looking up at him asked, "How?"
Castle touched her right leg and once she had raised it, it wasn't a surprise to him when she was placing her ankle on his shoulder. "Good?" he asked her.
"This is your choice," Beckett said. When he frowned slightly at her she said, "It is, but hurry."
Since she had wrapped her left leg around his waist, Castle reached for her hand and made her take his erection. Breathing a little harder he said, "I hope you're ready."
"Believe me, I am," Beckett said, relieved when he didn't hesitate and was moving to sink slowly inside of her.
Waiting for to protest how slowly he was moving, Castle was pleased when she didn't speak and he settled his body against hers once he was fully sheathed inside of her. Since he was above her a little more than normal with the position he made sure she was comfortable before he turned his head a little. Pressing a kiss to her ankle he withdrew slightly before he was pushing back inside of her. Hearing her soft gasp in response he continued, watching her so he wouldn't be distracted by how tight and wet she was for him. "Kate," he eventually groaned when it was too difficult to not be overwhelmed by the pleasure she was providing him.
"I know," Beckett moaned as she was gripping at his arms. Though she couldn't move that fast, she was rolling her hips the best she could in time with him. She could still feel friction between them and she whispered his name before he was leaning down to her. As they kissed her leg slid over his shoulder until it was hooked at the knee and she wasn't surprised to find Castle remaining there for some time. They kissed passionately but even when they needed to catch their breath he was staying near her and she reached up to cup his face with her hands. "You're… staying… like this?" she managed to say when he was suddenly slowing down and thrusting in her deliberately.
"I can stop if… if you want," Castle said, hesitating before he forced the rest of what he wanted to say out.
"No," Beckett told him simply but firmly. She'd intended to say more, but he was kissing her again and she had no problem with allowing him to do that. Eventually he pulled back but remained close since he was withdrawing at an achingly slow pace. She heard her vocal reaction and would have been embarrassed by the sound but she could see her husband's reaction to it. She managed to whisper his name, wondering if she should tell him his pushing back into her at the same speed was highly arousing. But he was pressing against her hips by then and he resumed his rhythm he'd had at the start and she was battling a little with herself as she began to writhe.
Slowing down in immediate reaction to his wife's movements, Castle took her hand and brought it to his lips, kissing at it before he said, "You're close."
"Yes you… even slow it feels…" Beckett started to say before she was biting at her lower lip and arching her back. He was taking advantage of that, kissing at her breasts before he was able to flick his tongue out to her left nipple before she lowered her body. "I-" she started to say before she interrupted herself by pulling her husband to her to kiss him. She was relieved she'd managed to stop herself in time, about to beg him to fuck her after they'd climaxed that time. Pulling back to catch her breath, she hoped he hasn't noticed and was pleased when he was kissing at her breasts again, letting her feel his movements in and out of her for a while.
"Do you want to come now my love?" Castle eventually asked her huskily. He wasn't surprised when she was nodding her head rapidly instead of speaking since he was fondling her breasts with his right hand. "Then tell me," he said firmly.
Beckett bit at her lower lip before she told him a little shakily, "I can f-feel your cock so… so deep." Turning her head to the side as he was thrusting slightly faster against her, she took a moment to recover before she told him, "I want more… I want to feel your come filling my pussy!"
"You will," Castle said as firmly as he could manage since her words had affected him as well. "Believe me I want… the same… Your pussy is so tight my love… you're squeezing my cock," he told her, nearly hissing at the end as she had deliberately tightened herself around him. He was heavily tempted to ram inside of her a few times but the feeling of her hands caressing his arms and hands brought him down and he told her roughly, "Come for me Kate and I will take care of you after this."
Though she wanted to remind him everything was his choice, Beckett felt her husband thrusting into her and making her break fully. Her orgasm was intense, and the ecstasy nearly took her over fully and she nearly missed the fact that Castle was very close behind her in his pleasure. She soon felt it though, and she was letting out a mixture of a moan and gasp repeatedly at the sensation until she was still, dropping her leg to wrap around his waist. She caressed his back then, feeling his muscles since he was still moving within her and just as he was giving her a last, jolting thrust she was feeling her arousal stirring back to life.
"I'm…" Castle eventually started to say before he trailed off.
"I know," Beckett replied with a smile. She was surprised when shortly after he was raising her head and looking down at her making her ask, "What is it?"
"Is that what you want next?" Castle asked. He wasn't surprised at her hesitation and he said, "It is."
"Yeah, but we don't need to-" Beckett started to say before she was letting out a short cry of surprise when he flipped her around above him.
"And since it's still my birthday and my choice," Castle told her before she could say anything. "I'm demanding you ride my cock for a little while I watch." He was pleased when she bit her lower lip in response to his words and said, "Once you're ready," before she was reaching for his hands on her hips.
When she had placed them on her breasts, Beckett said, "I need something."
"So do I," Castle said, fondling her gently before he was flicking at both nipples deliberately with his thumbs. His wife's eyes had rolled back into her head, her back arched and he took the opportunity she presented him. Suckling at first her right, then her left, he caressed the other breast gently before he was reaching down with his free hand and lightly rolling her clit.
"Oh! Rick wait," Beckett moaned, reaching down. "Too much," she told him breathily. She wasn't surprised when his response was to kiss her and she responded eagerly before they were dueling a little frantically with their tongues. They soon needed to catch their breath and after she had a little she pushed herself up with her knees. Watching Castle when he groaned loudly, gripping at her hips, she felt a rush of pleasure and soon began rocking on him. She tried to roll her hips at the same time she learned into him but it became too difficult and he was stopping her shortly after. "No?" she asked him with a smile.
"Another time," Castle said before he carefully rolled her onto her back. Since she was ready for him he didn't waste time, thrusting carefully at first and then speeding up when she wrapped her legs tightly around his waist.
It didn't take very long before the two were fucking each other in their absolute pleasure and they orgasmed nearly in sync. The room was filled with their cries and yells of ecstasy until they were renewed when Beckett was pushed to a second climax with her husband shortly following. They were very still once they stopped moving and the sound of their heavy breathing, eventually slowing down, echoed off the nearby walls.
"Hmm," Beckett said with a sigh as she rolled towards her husband after he'd withdrawn from her. "Do you think I can request something now?"
"Of course," Castle said.
"Get my mirror?" Beckett asked him. She waited for him to get up to do that before she stopped him and said pointedly, "How do I look?"
"Well fucked," Castle immediately said. When she just looked at him pointedly he swallowed a little hard and then looked at her sex saying, "You're full of my come."
"Good, now you can stop worrying about your age," she told him firmly. She wasn't surprised when her husband opened his mouth to speak and she forestalled him saying with a smile, "I could tell."
"I'm not worried…" Castle started to say before trailing off at her pointed look. "Okay, okay, I am but just in the context of my virility, I want to be able to satisfy you love."
"I'm aware, and you have, three times," Beckett said. "So don't worry."
Shaking his head Castle said, "I'm not. But we need to stop don't we?"
"We do, I need to pack my negligee before I forget it," Beckett said, surprised when her husband was suddenly getting off the bed.
"Think I can request something?" Castle asked, picking up the black silk.
"Yes," Beckett said carefully, wondering what that would be.
"Wear this on my birthdays?" Castle said.
Beckett couldn't help smiling as she watched her husband packing the fabric carefully away in her suitcase and when he was looking at her told him, "I can, as long as I'm not wearing it for long."
"You won't," Castle said firmly before he hurried back to the bed. As soon as he was close enough he moved to kiss her, doing so deeply before they were slowly parting and he pressed his forehead to hers, "I love you Kate."
"I love you too," Beckett said before they were kissing again. That time they were gentle and once they'd parted she said, "We'll do more another night."
"I hope so," Castle said, since he was still aroused enough that he could have easily made love to her again. He brushed his lips to hers and said, "And even though we didn't marathon it, that was an amazing way to end my birthday."
"Marathon it?" Beckett asked, fighting back her laughter though some of it seeped into her tone.
"It's what we do in Adare… and Tahiti," Castle clarified for her. "Oh and on Valentine's Day wherever we are."
Beckett couldn't help laughing that time before she said, "Okay, okay, we'll do that again. And I'm glad you enjoyed yourself," she said, watching him closing the lights then as he got off the bed again. When he looked back at her she told him reassuringly with a smile, "I did too."
Finishing, Castle climbed onto the bed after he'd grabbed the sheets and said, "Great, next time it's all you."
"No it isn't," Beckett said. She kept her husband from protesting with a kiss and there was little surprise that it evolved into a heavy, passionate one. As he laid her down she responded eagerly, unable to resist a little more with him before they slept in each other's arms while the ship continued to sail to their disembarkation port.
