"Rick?" Beckett asked her husband once they were standing alone on the platform.

"Yeah?" Castle said, turning from the pool to her.

"Why haven't we gone down yet?" Beckett said. She smiled when he was opening his mouth to speak before he paused and then shrugged.

"We can go," Castle told her.

"I'm glad you agree," Beckett said in amusement. "Go ahead."

"Oh no," Castle said firmly. "You first." He wasn't surprised when she was smirking at him before she was taking her turn. He leaned over the side of the railing to watch her and looked on while she was swimming toward the grotto. Seeing that it spurred him to go to the slide and push himself down before he was soon in the water. He proceeded to swim over to the grotto after his wife and ducked under the water before surfacing inside.

"Hey," Beckett said, smiling when Josie cried out in surprise at her father appearing.

"How'd she get here?" Castle asked, a little startled to see the toddler there but not really surprised.

"Dad brought her," Beckett said, helping Josie swim to him.

Kissing her cheek Castle told the toddler in an exaggerated whisper, "I was going to kiss your mom, think I still can?"

"Yeah," Josie said firmly. "Now Dada."

"Rick," Beckett said simply when her husband was quickly moving towards her.

Castle didn't respond to her verbally, instead kissing her gently before he pulled away and said, "I can't disappoint her." He smiled when she rolled her eyes before he turned his attention to Josie because she was wriggling in his grasp. "You want to swim?" he asked her.

"Yeah," Josie said eagerly before she was swimming to her mother. When she was sitting on her lap she said, "Can I swim there?"

"Not yet," Beckett said firmly since the little girl was pointing to the waterfall. "You know you can't do that until you're a stronger swimmer." She couldn't help smiling when the toddler wrinkled her nose and she leaned over to gently press a kiss to the tip of it. "Don't make a face at me sweetie," she told her. "We told you that already."

"She's right," Castle said when Josie was looking at him since he was sitting next to Beckett by then. "But it'll be soon, you're getting stronger every time you swim."

Beckett and Castle were laughing then at Josie nodding firmly in response to what he'd said. When they had calmed down she said, "I think we should head out."

"I know," Castle replied since Eliza had surfaced and then quickly left. "At least they'll have chaperones," he added as they were standing up. He saw the way his wife was looking at him then and said, "What?"

"Don't say a word to them," Beckett replied before she stepped out of the grotto and they just spotted Julia heading in with Eve and Peter behind them.

"Should we say something to Julia about using her sister as a lookout?" Castle asked when he could see their second youngest with her friends.

"No," Beckett replied in amusement before she was taking Josie to the kid's pool. "Do you want to swim here or with us a little more?"

"Kate," Castle said then after he checked the time.

"Do you need me?" Beckett replied since she was aware of why he had called to her.

"No, I'm good," Castle replied with a smile. He went over to her and kissed hers and Josie's cheeks before he went into the house with a towel wrapped around his waist.

"Where do you want to go sweetie?" Beckett asked Josie once Castle had left them.

"With you," the toddler said seriously.

"Alright," Beckett said with a smile. She walked into the water where Lily was helping Sophie swimming around. "Where's your husband?" she asked her friend.

"I think you know the answer to that already," the chef said wryly.

"You didn't try to stop him?" Beckett responded, helping Josie swim.

"As if I could," Lily replied. She then smirked and said, "Eve has an agreement with her father. If he gets too pushy, she calls me."

"I'm not surprised," Beckett said. "Hopefully he'll have the same agreement when Jake and then Sophie start dating."

"He will," Lily said firmly. She smiled and said, "I made him agree."

Laughing with her friend, Beckett soon said, "I'll have to remember that if Rick ever gets the idea of doing the same."

"You don't think he would," Lily stated.

"He knows I wouldn't let him," Beckett replied easily before they were laughing.

"Mama?" Sophie said as her mother was picking her up.

"Sorry, I think I should put you back with your friends in your pool," Lily said.

"Why?" Sophie asked.

"I think they want you to join them," Lily replied since she could see Eliza, Maddy and Dani waving to them from the kid's pool.

"Oh… okay," Sophie said, nodding.

"Can I go too Mama?" Josie asked since she'd had her mother put her on her hip.

"Of course," Beckett said, taking her to it after her friend.

"Dad," Eve started to say in the grotto before she stopped herself from continuing.

"Do you want me to leave?" Brad asked.

"That would be nice," Eve said after some slight hesitation.

"I'm staying here Dad," Jacob said when his father leaned over to look at him.

"Alright, I just wanted to sit here for a little, I'm serious," Brad said.

"I know," Eve replied with a smile. When her father had gone she turned to her boyfriend and asked, "Okay?"

"Yeah, I was just waiting to see what was going to happen," Peter said. He wasn't surprised when the others in the grotto with them were laughing before he said, "It's really great to be home."

"Agreed," Julia said with a nod. "But I really can't wait for the summer." She smiled when all the others concurred and said, "And to see all of your reactions to what we're going to see." She laughed outright when the others were again agreeing again before Mari was speaking to them next to her.

"Speaking of seeing, are we just going to sit here?" she asked. Mari smiled widely when the others were laughing and quickly told them, "I know that makes no sense, but I want to go back out to the pool." She was pleased when the others were agreeing with her and they were all leaving together to head outside and up to the diving platform above them.

Hearing running approaching the doorway of the dining room Castle said, "What're you doing?"

"We could hear the crying," Julia and Eliza said at the same time.

"Your sister-" Castle started to say.

"And yours," Brad directed to his oldest two.

"They want to go eat with you guys," Castle finished, glancing at his friend briefly.

"That's fine," Julia and Eliza said at the same time again before they were looking at one another and laughing with everyone else.

"Yeah, I wouldn't mind," Jacob said.

"And would you?" Lily directed to Eve. "You'll need to watch her; both of you."

"We will," Eve said firmly, her brother nodding.

"Okay, I guess we're going to wait for a second to start dinner," Castle said, starting to get Josie's highchair tray out of the way.

After the highchairs and toddlers had been taken to the kitchen table and everything set up there, the kids were sitting and the adults heading back to the dining room.

"Are you going to listen to me?" Julia asked her sister jokingly since the highchair was between her and Eliza.

"And me," the girl said. Eliza shared a smile with her sister as their baby sister looked back and forth between them a little.

"Okay," Josie finally said. She smiled when her sisters were giggling before they were turning to their food and she did the same. She used her fork but made a sound of dismay when some of her chow mien fell off her fork.

"Don't use your fingers," Julia said, seeing Josie was about to do that. She took her sister's hand holding her fork and assisted her in getting the noodles back before she was letting the toddler take it.

"Thank you," Josie said with a smile on her face when she'd finished eating.

"You're welcome," Julia replied before she went back to her food and spoke with Mari. She kept an eye on her sister still and could see Eliza was too though she was talking with her friends.

"We are going into the game room after this right?" Jacob asked towards the end of the meal.

"That's the plan," Julia replied. She paused and then asked, "You don't want to play there?"

"No, just making sure," Jacob said quickly. "We want to play there."

"He's right," Eve said, looking at her brother with a slight frown. She then turned her attention back to the others and told them, "We've been talking about it." Turning to her boyfriend on her other side she said with a smile, "I hope we'll play together."

"Yeah, I really want to," Peter assured her before they were getting up at the same time the others were. He was about to help her in getting the tray off of Sophie's highchair when Jacob was doing so. Instead he took Eve's plate and carried it for her to the kitchen sink before he saw the adults and youngest kids were coming down the hall to them.

"Is everything off the kitchen table?" Beckett asked her middle daughters once they were gathered in the room.

"Yeah," Julia said, glancing at it swiftly to make sure.

"Then go ahead and take everyone to the game room," Beckett directed her.

"Sure," Julia said, going to Josie and taking her hand. "Want to go with us?" she asked the toddler.

"Yeah," Josie said happily. She followed her big sister to the room before she hurried back to their grandparents that had brought the twins with them. "Hi," she said to Emmie who was smiling at her. "She likes me," she told her grandmother.

"Of course she does, she smiled at you second," Martha replied.

Nodding, Josie hurried to Eliza and asked, "What will you play?"

"I don't know yet," the girl said, looking around the room thoughtfully. Her gaze soon lit on the skeeball consoles and said, "I think that."

"Oh! Me too," Josie said eagerly. "Can I go on?"

"Yeah but remember-" Eliza started to say.

"I only go a little," Josie interrupted.

"Exactly," Eliza said, nodding. She then took her baby sister's hand and they walked over to the skeeball before she realized the others were leaving for other games. Turning her attention back to the toddler she had her take off her slippers before she helped her climb up to take her turn.

"It's still a little weird your parents let her do that," Jacob said to Julia where they were together at the air hockey table.

"I know," Julia replied with a smile, looking across the table to where he was standing. "But when can you really do something like that?"

"I told you," Eve said to her brother jokingly before she looked back to the puck Peter was hitting to her end. She missed it and his last goal was scored to end the game and she said, "Great job."

"Sorry, I didn't realize you'd be talking to Jake," Peter said as she gave the striker to his brother.

"It's a fast game," Eve said, kissing his cheek before heading to his left.

"Has there been anything going on at the station?" Castle was asking Brad while he was cleaning off the kitchen counters.

"No and you haven't been gone that long," the chief said before he hesitated. "If you're talking about the time we were on the cruise then no, nothing happened."

"Which is good," David said firmly.

"Hopefully there won't be any problems while we're in Japan?" Genevieve commented.

"I have a very competent set of officers," Brad assured her. "It's not the first time I've gone on vacation."

"Officers? You know I've always wanted to ask you, why aren't there any other ranks?" Isaac inquired.

"My grandfather told me about that and I said it was weird but he told me the Hamptons was a little different in its formation along with the fact it was a smaller force," David explained. "It's kept the ranks its had since the more modern aspect of the police was formed here."

"He's right," Brad said. "It's why I investigate murders exclusively."

"Yeah, when he asked if he could have consultants I agreed since that's a lot better than him having to handle everything on his own," David said swiftly when the chief was looking at him.

Sharing a look with her husband Beckett said, "So that case we consulted with for the first time was a test run?"

"Not for you guys," Brad said firmly. "For me, if I could work with consultants."

"He's right, but it was basically a foregone conclusion you two would be asked to work with him," David added.

"Glad to know," Castle said. "But I have to wonder why exactly you had to test working with people."

Shrugging Brad told them, "The rest of the council at the time were…"

"You can say it, jerks," David continued when the chief trailed off. "But I knew it'd be a great idea and I was right luckily."

"Speaking of that," Rebecca said. "I think we're finished so we can go now right?"

"Yeah, we're ready," Beckett said, looking around the room quickly. She and her husband were the last to trail after the others and she said, "What do you think?"

"They're serious," Castle said before he paused. "You're asking that because I knew them longer."

"Basically," Beckett said while she was smiling. "But at least we're a little more secure in our position knowing that."

"Good point," Castle said in agreement before they were entering the game room after everyone else.

"Mama!" Josie said, hurrying to her from the whack-a-mole game. "Mama come play!"

"Play what?" Beckett asked with a smile.

"I don't know," Josie said before she was smiling herself at the way her parents were laughing.

"Why don't we go choose something?" Beckett said, taking her hand. She was a little surprised when the toddler stopped her and shook her head before raising her arms up. Once she had Josie on her hip they were walking around the room but the toddler didn't say anything until they were at the air hockey table.

"That Mama!" Josie said eagerly.

"We're almost finished," Julia said, playing at that moment against Mari.

"Take your time," Castle told her while they were watching.

Clapping when her sister had won, Josie went to their father and squeezed his hand saying, "Can I play with you Dada?"

"If you're sure," Castle told her. He wasn't surprised when the toddler was nodding rapidly and said, "Great, let me get the stool for you."

"You're not going to go play anything else?" Beckett asked since Julia remained at her end of the table.

"I was just wondering about dessert," the teen said.

"We'll eat it later," Beckett said firmly.

"Not that," Julia said hurriedly. "When do we need to take it out of the fridge?"

"I'll let you know," Beckett said. She wasn't surprised when Julia nodded rapidly before heading to the cannon game with Mari in a rush. "Ready?" she asked her husband since he was ready with Josie at the other end of the table.

"She is," Castle said. "Better set this down," he told her, taking the striker from the toddler.

"Okay," Josie said, looking on eagerly as her father was getting the puck. She took the striker at her father's insistence and they began the game, hitting it to her mother.

As they were playing, Beckett wasn't surprised at how much Josie was squealing and laughing before they were finishing with her scoring the last goal. "You did a good job sweetie," she said. She went around the table and gently pressed her lips to the top of Josie's head telling her, "And you did great with your aim."

"Thank you," Josie said simply before she stepped down off the stool and rushed away from them.

"Is that a… hint?" Castle asked his wife after he'd picked up the stool.

"I'm not sure," Beckett said, looking over at their youngest who'd rejoined Eliza. She then turned back to her husband and said, "What would you like to play?"

"I think this," Castle said. "And no we're not going to compete," he added hurriedly since he knew she would comment.

"Alright," Beckett said, watching him take the stool to where they kept it before he was rejoining her. Since he had the puck he was starting their game and they proceeded to play until they were finishing with her winning. "I'm surprised," she told him as he walked around the table to her.

Shrugging Castle said, "You should have said you wanted to compete," though he was telling her that teasingly.

"Pass," Beckett replied wryly. "Now I hope you'll let me pick," she said.

"Of course," Castle said firmly before he was laughing when she took him by the hand and pulled him to the racing consoles.

Julia had been watching her parents at her father's laugh before they'd kissed briefly and sat at the two games. She turned to her left and saw Mari was next to her before she said, "You saw that?"

"I did," Mari said with a nod. "It's cute but you know it's your turn," she told her since they were at the baseball game.

Looking at it, Julia hesitated before she said, "Why don't we go to the coin drop game?"

"Sure," Mari said before they were laughing as they walked.

"My mom won't let me eat whatever I get though," Julia said while her friend was going first.

"Neither will mine," Mari said, watching the pushers in front of her. She then looked at Julia and said, "We're insanely lucky."

"I thought the same," the teen nodded. "But you're sure you don't want to go back home? I told you we could spend the night there."

"I would have if my sister hadn't been so excited to stay here too," Mari replied with a smile. She then said, "And I do like staying here."

"I was serious about next time we can stay the night somewhere," Julia said before she wrinkled her nose. "That made sense?"

Mari couldn't help laughing and told her friend, "Don't worry, it did." She turned back to the game and then began to play the rest of her turn until she was out of coins. Switching with Julia she watched her for a little and then said, "I wish we didn't have to go back to school."

"I know," Julia said, looking around them to see if any adults were back. "But the year will be over really soon and then we'll be off for the summer."

Nodding, Mari whispered, "I'm a little nervous."

"You'll be fine," Julia assured her, turning to her friend since she had finished her turn. "You have to get used to the classes but it's not that different from middle school." She smiled as she put her hand on Mari's shoulder and said, "And we'll finally be back together in the same school."

"I thought that too," Mari said, nodding. "And we can still have potatoes," she added before she and Julia were laughing heavily.

"Not all the time though," Beckett said to the two girls before they were freezing. "Don't worry," she told them. "We'll let you get it."

Julia was about to ask if her mother wanted to play before she stopped herself and said, "Do you want me to go and get the tart?"

"Out of the fridge," Beckett said, nodding her head. "But then come right back here," she told her.

"We will," Julia said before she was hurrying with Mari out of the room.

"Eliza didn't even notice," Alexis said, stepping up to her mother.

Turning to her oldest Beckett smiled and said, "I was hoping for that. Do you have time to have a slice of tart before you need to go?"

"Actually… we're not going," Alexis replied. She smiled at her mother's startled expression and then explained, "Gram and Grandpapa are taking them with Bethany and Joseph for us."

"Really," Beckett said.

"I didn't ask them," Alexis said, fighting her smile. "Gram… sort of demanded it."

"Sort of?" Beckett echoed. When her daughter merely smiled she couldn't help laughing briefly before she squeezed Alexis' arm before she left her. She then turned to her husband as he was approaching her and asked, "She didn't want to play with you?"

"Not so much that, she said you were standing alone and shouldn't be," Castle commented.

Beckett smiled and then said, "Then you're following me?" At his nod she pulled him with her again to the cannon game before they were looking at the doorway to the room. When their second oldest walked in with Mari she said to her husband, "We'll play this and have our dessert."

"Oh great, I told Eliza we were going to have it soon," Castle said. "She asked," he then added.

"I'm not surprised," Beckett replied before she was smiling as she stepped up to the controls of the game. "Though I am she didn't ask you about getting it."

"She saw her sister leaving," Castle said. He watched her taking her turn then said, "She told me they were talking about have a little tournament after we walk the kids to school."

"Tournament for what?" Beckett asked, moving out of the way for him.

"Bowling," Castle said. "I warned her it wasn't fair but she didn't care."

"Maybe we'll talk to her," Beckett said. "And just bowl."

"Not compete?" Castle asked. He wasn't surprised when his wife nodded and said, "I'll follow your lead."

Beckett did her best not to snort at her husband's words and instead focused her attention on him playing until he was finishing. "Now," she told him firmly.

"I'm on it," Castle said, slightly exaggeratingly. He couldn't help squeezing her hand firmly while she was rolling her eyes but still smiling a little. Turning his attention to everyone in the room he was getting their attention so they could eat dessert and then play a little more before the youngest kids would need to get to their beds.


"I'm a little surprised at you Rick," Beckett said as she left their closet to go over to his side of the bed.

"You can't blame me," Castle responded immediately. He then smirked at her and said, "I didn't mention anything about a robe."

"No, but I'm not giving you what you want that easily," Beckett said firmly.

"Is this because you won at air hockey?" Castle asked.

"More because I wanted you to work a little for your reward," Beckett told him teasingly. She let out a brief cry when her husband was grabbing for her and shortly after laughing once he'd pulled her with him on the bed. That stopped when he captured her lips with his own and she was holding onto him tightly as their tongues were soon meeting in each other's mouths.

Castle at first caressed his wife's tongue until he was dueling a little hungrily with her while she was responding eagerly. He wasn't sure how long they were involved in that, only that he was panting a little hard once they had parted. "Let me see love," he begged her in a husky tone as they pressed their foreheads together.

Smiling, Beckett brushed her lips to her husband's before she pulled away and moved to get off the bed. She blatantly ogled her husband when he followed her since he was already naked but soon turned her attention to her robe. Untying it quickly she discarded it to the floor before her husband was grabbing her gently. She was ready for his kiss while he was pulling her onto the bed with him but was taken aback when he made it sensuous. She was swift to respond, feeling the warmth in her body deepen with the way he was languidly rubbing his tongue all over hers.

Eventually pulling away, Castle smiled at his wife's fluttering eyelids before she was looking at him and he said seriously, "Thank you love."

"Hmm, you're very welcome," Beckett replied, smiling herself at his tone since he'd asked her to wear her black negligee. She leaned into him and kissed him gently before she pulled away enough to look him in the eyes as she said, "If you want to play with them you can."

"Play?" Castle asked, his eyes going wide in shock at her wording. When she nodded he swallowed a little hard before he said, "Not play, worship." He wasn't surprised when she was biting her lower lip before he was gently taking her hair in his hand and pulling it out of the way on the left side of her neck.

Beckett's eyes closed again when she felt Castle's lips gently kissing around her pulse. When he moved toward the middle she wrapped her arms around him tightly before he was at her pulse on the other side. She let out a little gasp as he was nipping lightly at it, soothing the skin gently with his lips and then tongue. "Love," she murmured to him before he was pulling back. She kissed him as soon as she could, loving his instant response so their tongues were meeting shortly after in his mouth that time. They were alternating between dueling and rubbing together until she was pulling away with a gasp feeling him pulling down the straps of her negligee. "I'm glad you enjoy this so much," she told him, her voice slightly strained since her husband had leaned down to kiss at what was exposed of her breasts. "But… you don't want to take it off?" she asked him, hoping he'd say yes.

"Not just yet," Castle replied before he was moving and kissing her lightly on the lips. Before he bowed his head down again he was pulling her negligee down even move so the mounds were exposed and couldn't help letting out a near growl. "Perfection," he told her, gently cupping them with his hand. He paused then before he said, "I might take you up on that," glancing up at her to see her reaction.

"Please, I'm stifling in this now," Beckett told him seriously before she pulled off the lingerie with his help. She guessed he was throwing it to where her robe was but soon forgot that when her husband was kissing her. His hands were on her breasts at the same time, massaging them gently, and she let him do that a little more before she ended their kiss. "When I said play-" she began.

"You meant with my mouth," Castle finished with her. He smiled when she nodded and said, "Of course but… I wanted to make love with you."

"You only won once," Beckett teased him.

"As if I believe that," Castle responded in the same tone. He couldn't help himself then and bowed his head, brushing his lips to the tops of her breasts.

"Tell me Rick," Beckett breathed to him.

Raising his head to look at her, Castle said seriously, "I want us to make love like we did our first night together. All three times."

Beckett was biting at her lower lip again in response since it had sent a powerful wave of desire through her. It took her a moment to recover so she could say, "I agree."

"Just like that? Three times?" Castle asked, a little surprised at the speed of her accord.

"Now you don't want to?" Beckett asked him teasingly. She wasn't surprised when his response was to kiss her and she was wrapping her arms around him before he was moving her. As her back hit the cool, crisp sheets she felt him pulling away before his gaze moved down to her breasts. She was about to urge him when he moved and she kept silent, moaning in joy as he proceeded to kiss around her right nipple. He was soon doing the same to the other before tonguing it and then suckling at it. She kept her eyes tightly shut, reveling in the sensation of his mouth until he was letting her go and moving to in between her breasts. A soft moan left her lips at the sensation of his brushing against the marred skin there and she told him throatily, "Hurry my love, I want to feel you inside my pussy."

Castle couldn't stop himself from breathing out hard against her chest and raised his head saying, "Are you ready at all?"

"Check," Beckett said simply since she was aware of what the question was really asking for. She looked on while he kissed his way down to her sex and she held herself tense as he moved to her entrance. When she felt his lips kissing at her folds she couldn't help moaning in pleasure before he was carefully pulling away. Opening her eyes in time to see her husband licking at his lips, she sat up and told him, "I want the same thing."

At first Castle was going to ask if she didn't want to just start but he saw the expression on her face and nodded before he said, "It…"

"Don't worry, I won't be doing it for long," Beckett assured him before they were switching places in a hurry. Once her husband was laying down she smiled and leaned down to him to kiss him lightly. She wasn't surprised when he held her in place before they were kissing harder and she let that go on until she was gently pulling away from him. Moving down his chest she proceeded to kiss around it and let herself flick her tongue out at his nipples before she went further. It didn't take her long to reach her husband's erection since it had been resting against his stomach by then. She was careful picking it up until she pressed her lips to the tip and flicked her tongue out to gather the fluid there.

Castle's breathing was coming faster while he watched his wife pushing herself up and said, "Are we good now?" When she merely nodded he was reaching for her and flipping her around before he was on top of her. "Goddess," he said huskily before he was kissing her deeply.

Beckett was a little startled he wasn't moving to enter her, but she didn't stop him to ask why. Enjoying his kisses greatly when he was caressing at her tongue, she ran her hands from the back of his head down to his back and stopping at his ass. She deliberately squeezed at him, smiling when he was pulling away with a curse in Irish. "Didn't like that?" she asked him with a smirk. She gasped when her husband was suddenly raising himself above her before she was hurrying to take him in hand. Pulling him to her she was holding herself tense as he soon entered her. Letting him go, she was holding onto his back and tightening her grip a little until he was fully within her. Shifting slightly they both groaned in pleasure at the sensation of their bodies sliding a little against each other, and she said, "Hurry."

"I will," Castle said, just before he carefully pulled back and pressed himself at the same speed back inside of her. It didn't take very long before he was reaching the pace he had used their first night together and they were kissing deeply at his instigation. She was still holding onto him and he could feel her fingers flexing in response every time he sank back into her and it was affecting him as well. "Love," he breathed, pulling away from her.

"I know," Beckett said in a moan, arching her head back. "I… feel you… so deep." She was gasping as her husband was raising himself up a little more on his next thrust down and she cried out his name when he managed to press against her clit and deliberately rubbed against it. When he was lowering himself she told him, "We can't…"

"Are you close?" Castle asked her. He wasn't surprised when she nodded rapidly and he kissed her sensuously for a time, focusing on making sure she was as stimulated as he was in the meeting of their bodies. When he needed to let them catch their breath he asked her, "Are you going to come now my love?"

"Yes please… I want you," Beckett replied, her voice a little rough in her pleasure. "I want to ride you… next," she started to say. Her husband had angled his hips down on her just as she had finished speaking, and it became more than enough to push her over the edge. She was crying out in her joy, calling her husband's name in a tone riddled with ecstasy before he was doing the same yelling out her name once. When they were calming down she smiled and spoke first telling her husband, "We never last that long."

"Not when we talk about our first night," Castle said. He moved away and gently brushed his lips to hers saying, "Still incredible."

"It was," Beckett agreed before they were kissing deeply. After they had parted she said, "But we're in a little trouble now."

"How much do you need?" Castle asked.

Beckett smiled and said, "I'm not as young as I was that night."

"Of course," Castle replied. "And I would say neither am I but…"

"No," Beckett said, raising her head slightly to look down at his erection. She then said, "Would you mind if I took care of myself?"

"Sure," Castle said seriously before he was carefully withdrawing from her and they were both groaning in disappointment. Switching places with her once she was up he said, "Though… what does that mean exactly?" He wasn't surprised when she said nothing and instead was straddling him. "If you're… going to touch please be gentle," he begged her as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I will, do you think I want to lose my turn?" Beckett reminded him. She tried not to laugh at the way her husband was nodding and leaned into him to kiss him. It was brief and they were soon after pulling away from each other before she said, "I was going to touch."

"Was?" Castle asked in surprise at her wording. He was startled again when she was leaning into him and whispering in his ear. He stiffened considerably at her request but was relaxing as she pulled back to look into his eyes. "Good idea," he told her, smiling when she laughed briefly.

Beckett was about to call him a pervert when his index finger was gently rubbing her folds before sliding inside of her sex. She let out a moan since he was very gentle in pushing back and forth as she had asked him before she told him, "Another, please."

Looking up at her Castle asked seriously, "You're sure?" When she nodded rapidly he pulled his finger out of her all the way and then worked his first two back inside. He felt a thrill at hearing her cry out in pleasure but focused on stimulating her a little more until she was reaching down to stop him. Withdrawing his fingers as slowly as he'd pushed them in her he said, "Is this going to be too much?"

Shaking her head, Beckett held his hand and leaned down to suck his fingers off as she'd requested to him. She was pleased to hear him breathing faster in response to that and she soon had him clean. "Help me," she told him when she let him go to raise herself up on her knees. With him holding his erection she was lowering down to him until he was filling her rapidly because she wasn't hesitating.

"Still so fucking tight Kate," Castle breathed huskily as their hips were pressed together in a short amount of time. He rested his hands on the small of her back and said, "How hard?"

Smiling, Beckett said, "I wasn't that fast was I?"

"No but if you need to I say do it," Castle told her.

Beckett decided she didn't really need to respond verbally to that, instead she leaned into him and kissed him tenderly before she began to rock on him. That ended their kiss quickly but she didn't mind since she wanted to focus on her pace. Feeling her husband soon trying to thrust up against her, she was gasping in pleasure before he was pulling her to him for a kiss. She lost all sense of time as they were alternating between kissing and touching each other where they could. Eventually she felt herself near her orgasm and she tried to warn her husband when he was gently slapping her ass and setting it off. He was soon climaxing as well and their combined voices in their ecstasy nearly made her reach a second peak. She was soon calming down before that could happen though and she was leaning against him, breathing roughly while he was doing the same against her shoulder.

"Much better," Castle said once he felt he could speak without his voice shaking.

"Hmm, we didn't really know each other then," Beckett replied, smiling slightly. She was kissing the side of his head and then his ear lobe before she said, "But since we do now I'm taking advantage of it."

"Boy did you ever," Castle said jokingly before he was suddenly groaning and gripping at her tightly when she was laughing.

"Sorry," Beckett said, stopping herself as quickly as she could. "Should I-" she started to ask when her husband was suddenly flipping her onto her back to her cry of surprise.

Before his wife could say anything, Castle was kissing her deeply and doing that for a while until he was moving down to her breasts. He began kissing at the mounds in turn, shortly after suckling at her until she was stopping him. "Can I fuck you love?" he asked, holding himself tense but hoping she was ready for him.

Only able to nod a few times, Beckett was racing to wrap her arms and legs around her husband's body when he began thrusting into her. Though she was more than ready for him to start, she was pleased at him going slowly at first before he was speeding up gradually. Eventually they were rough with each other since she'd placed her feet flat on the bed so she could thrust with him. When they orgasmed it was nearly at the same time, very close together, before they were kissing and calling each other's names repeatedly in their pleasure. She was smiling once they'd stopped moving, hearing her husband's panting near her ear. Gently caressing at his hair she murmured, "Thank you for thinking of this."

Groaning a little at first, Castle said, "I'm saying that to myself too." He smiled when she was laughing softly and briefly before he raised his head telling her, "I'm so glad we did this our first night back in this bed after we were married."

"I am too," Beckett said, smiling since she knew he wanted to hear her agreement. She brushed her lips to his and then said, "But I think we're going to have to call it a night."

Sighing Castle said, "I had a feeling." He withdrew from her before he told her, "Do we need to get dressed?"

"No, you locked the door," Beckett replied, pushing herself up. She smiled at him and then said, "But we don't need to go to bed right this second. She wasn't surprised when her husband was leaning into her and kissing her hard. She responded, not surprised when he was pulling her onto his lap before they were dueling with their tongues. When they were eventually parting she murmured against his lips, "I love you Rick."

"Love you too Kate," Castle said, running his hands around her back. "Goddess," he breathed as he moved them around to gently cup her breasts. He watched her close her eyes tightly before she moaned and he said, "Please love, I want be deep inside of you again."

Nodding rapidly it took Beckett a moment before she could speak and tell him, "One more," before he was laying her on the bed and she spread her legs widely to him. When he was sinking into her she cried out she loved him before Castle was responding right before they began making fervent, pleasurable love for one more time that night.
