"Yes, she said Happy Easter since she was busy earlier and if we're bowling… tell Patrick to take it easy," Beckett summarized before trailing off a little and then laughing at the last of her friend's text.

"Hey," Darnley said in protest before they were all laughing. He then said to his friend, "How did she know about the bowling?"

"When we talked about plans for today I mentioned we might do that if any of the kids wanted to do it," Beckett replied before they were looking at the alleys when Eliza let out a whoop.

"I got a spare!" the girl said happily.

"Great job," Castle said. "Your form is getting better." He laughed when she gave him a thumbs up before turning back to the alley to help her little sister take her turn. "I think Skye figured we would do it."

"Getting close to summer," Rebecca said when they were quiet for a moment.

"I know, I know," Lily said with a sigh. "Eve is going to be a senior next year. Don't remind us."

"Has she thought of after high school yet?" Genevieve asked.

"She knows she wants to be an interior designer," Brad said. "So she's looking at Parsons for sure."

"So she and Mari might be there at the same time," Isaac commented with a smile.

"Oh, don't remind us of that," David said, shaking his head and exaggerating his voice. When he was looking at the others he saw the expression on his wife's face and said, "What?"

"We're like all parents, thinking of our oldest going to school," Rebecca said to the others. "But as long as she's able to do what she loves, we don't care."

"Peter told me Julia's going to get a bachelors in writing?" Genevieve asked.

"Yeah, English and then through NYU's creative writing track as they call it," Castle said. "And she might also major in history but she's going to see how it is going to two schools."

"But her focus will be on dance," Beckett said though she was speaking a little absently since she was looking at Alexis and Louis. "Too much to think of with them this young?" she asked her daughter and son in law.

"Just a bit," Louis said first. "But… you do have to plan."

"Not when they're that young," Darnley said in exaggeration before they were all laughing.

When they'd calmed down, the group sitting looked on for the rest of the two games, congratulating Peter and Eliza who'd won. They switched then and the adults played with Eve and Jacob while some of the kids went to the games in the lounge.

"Okay," Castle said once they'd finished. "We better move upstairs and get ready for dinner." He was a little startled when the kids were cheering and hurrying to the stairs up. "How much sugar have our girls had love?" he said to his wife while they began to follow the other adults.

"Not that much, just a few jellybeans," Beckett replied, smiling as she took his hand.

While the adults were getting dinner ready for them to start the buffet service, Julia and Eliza took everyone else to the game room.

"Think we'll have time to play everything?" Mari was asking her friend while they were walking around the games but not turning anything on.

"I don't know," Julia said. "It's a school night still so…" She made a playful face before they were all freezing at the sound of her mother's voice saying dinner was ready.

"Yay!" Josie squealed before she grabbed Sophie's hand and they were hurrying out of the room.

"Josa! You're not supposed to… run," Eliza started to say when the two toddlers were doing so.

"They're fine," Julia assured her younger sister before they could hear their mother gently scolding their baby sister. They laughed for a moment before they were leaving with the other kids and heading down the hall to the kitchen.

After everyone had their plates of food and were sitting around the dining room table or standing since the kids were at the kitchen table, Castle raised his glass of wine and said, "Cheers to everyone this Easter, I hope you've had a good one celebrating with us."

Not surprised when everyone was saying they had before saying cheers, Beckett was soon tapping her glass against Josie's sippy cup and her husband's glass after. "Nice toast," she told him when the kids had left and they started to eat.

"I wanted to make sure everyone enjoyed today… though we didn't stay at the pool," Castle told her.

"When can I swim Mama?" Josie said before she was frowning. "Again?"

Nodding to let the toddler know she was right, Beckett said, "We'll see sweetie. Tomorrow you're going to spend the day with your niece and nephew and grandparents."

"You're writing?" Darnley asked.

"You're not working?" Beckett responded.

Shaking his head, Darnley took a quick drink from his glass of wine and then said, "I finished on Friday. It was a birthday order for a what-not."

"Really?" Genevieve asked.

"Yeah, two men who are into antiques ordered one," Darnley explained. "They wanted it to be modern looking."

"You don't have a picture do you?" Beckett asked, surprised when her friend was looking at his husband.

"Show them, I know you didn't mean to start talking shop," Nkosi said with a smile.

Darnley couldn't help laughing for a moment before he was getting his phone out and opening the picture, passing it down the table. He was pleased at the compliments for it until Beckett was looking at the photo. "I'm going to remind you the request was for modern looking," he said while she was studying it.

Nodding Beckett gave the phone to her husband and said, "I really like it, and hopefully they will too."

"I was almost tempted to tell you to make us one like it," Nkosi said.

"Why don't you?" Genevieve asked. She smiled when the others at the table turned to her and said, "Since I've seen your house I think it'll work in your dining room."

"That's what he said," Darnley said with a smile. "You know, if you're serious I might be able to start one."

"Orders?" Brad asked.

"I almost thought you were going to say cases," Darnley said before they were laughing briefly. "And I don't have anymore for the moment. I can take one more but I'd have to really work to finish it in time for our vacation."

"So you're saying that's the last order before summer?" David asked before he was laughing with everyone else.

"Mama, why do you laugh?" Sophie asked in obvious confusion.

"It was just a joke," Lily said. "Have more of your yams," she instructed her.

Down the hall Clive was saying to the other kids, "Did anyone hear what the parents were talking about when we left?"

"I think you were the last one walking from the room," Peter told his brother. "So no."

Making a brief face at his brother, Clive said, "College," before he was turning with the others to the Davises who were groaning at the same time.

"They think about that a lot now," Jacob explained. "Since Eve's going to be a senior next year."

"Don't remind me," Eve said, shaking her head.

"And then I think they were talking about Parsons," Clive told her.

Smiling when Eve did, Mari asked, "Is it for sure?"

"I have to apply but other than that, yeah," Eve said with a nod. She laughed with the others when Mari was standing and she hurried to do the same before they were giving each other a high five.

"You guys are kind of weird," Jacob said.

"We all are," Julia said firmly before they were laughing and then returning to their food. They talked about the cruise together and future places they wanted to go on cruises which took them to the end of the meal. "I wish we could go sooner than Christmas in 2025," she said while they stood up and then were getting their plates.

"Why are we waiting that long?" Peter asked.

"First my dad said it was for Josa to be a little older," Julia said. "And now that it's set for sure he says it's for us to all go together."

"That doesn't make any sense," Clive said, his brow furrowed before he realized that was the point. He was laughing with the other older kids before they were calming down and he said, "But who's all of us?"

When Julia smiled, Mari said, "Paul and his family?"

"Yeah, whoever wants to go," Julia said. "They had to answer my dad now since we're having a whole ship to ourselves."

"That many?" Mari said in surprise.

"No, it's more for Paul and his family's security," Julia explained. "So there's going to be a lot of empty rooms but we'll be able to have our own rooms if we wanted." She saw the expression on her friend's face and said, "We'll still share though."

Laughing with the others, Mari eventually said, "I just wanted to make sure."

"Me too," Julia replied before they were turning to the adults who were coming to the kitchen. She went to her mother and asked, "Can-"

"Go and start playing," Beckett interrupted her with a smile.

"Thanks," Julia and Eliza said at the same time before they were taking all the kids to the game room.

"How're you going to play?" Peter asked Julia since she was holding her niece on her hip.

"I'm not," Julia said. "Just for now."

"We can take turns," Mari said firmly. "I'll hold her for you."

"Thanks," Julia said, nodding briefly before they were walking to the baseball game. She was surprised when Eve followed, Peter behind her and said, "You-"

"Could I hold her?" Eve asked.

"Sure, if she's okay with it," Julia said. She looked at the baby and asked, "Want to go with Eve?" She smiled when her niece did, her blue eyes a little wide and she kissed her temple before giving her to Eve. She then looked at Eliza who'd walked over to her and said, "If you didn't want to hold him…"

"I can't play with my friends holding a baby!" Eliza protested with a smile. "And I think he wanted to go with you."

"Fine," Julia replied, taking Finn.

"Do you want to hold her?" Eve asked Peter.

"Sure but are we going to be able to play at all?" the teen asked.

"I think so," Julia replied when her grandparents, along with Joseph and Bethany, walked into the room.

"Are you two ready to relax with us?" Martha asked after she and Jim approached the kids.

"Probably," Julia said with a smile when Finn in her arms cooed seeing his great-grandmother. She handed him over and once they were on their own again she said to her friends, "We can play now."

"Great," Mari said before they were laughing and then turning to play the game they'd been standing in front of but hadn't yet started.

When the parents entered the game room once they were finished getting the kitchen cleaned up, the kids were spread out around the room and playing. They split up then and went to their own games before Castle and Beckett were heading to the air hockey table since they were last in the room.

"Are we playing for…" Castle started to say before he trailed off.

"I think we should pass," Beckett said firmly. She wasn't surprised when her husband was nodding and she then hit the puck to him to start the game. As they were doing that she couldn't help thinking of Skye and her family's celebrations in mid-afternoon at that point, wondering if they were still in their pool. Her husband was hitting the puck back to her and she hurried to turn her attention back to him and their game.


"You girls shocked me," Skye said while she and her wife were having dinner with their family.

"Why?" Marie asked with a frown.

"You didn't want to continue swimming," Mary said. "We are going to the game room after dinner."

"We have school tomorrow," Kathleen explained, not surprised her sisters were nodding in agreement.

"So we wanted to play for as long as we could," Fleur added.

"I see," Skye said slowly.

"Are you mad?" Ivy asked a little worriedly, sharing concerned looks with her sisters.

"No," Mary said first and firmly before her wife could respond.

"We were just wondering to be honest," Skye added. "Now eat so we can go and play," she then told the girls, smiling when they were laughing and eating again. After they had finished and soon cleaned up the kitchen, she said, "We're going to wait a bit for dessert, so should we go out on a walk?"

"Do we have to?" Iris said.

Sharing a glance with her wife Mary said, "I don't think so, but let's do some laps around the backyard; it isn't too cold."

"Unless you lot don't really want to do that?" Skye asked. She wasn't surprised when they weren't saying no and they moved to go out onto the patio.

"I'm coming," Liam said sternly to his daughter when she and Mary looked at him.

"Alright, but you don't have to go the entire way with us," Skye said.

"Noted," Liam replied, saluting her before they were walking out onto the path they'd put in the grass.

"I can't wait to go inside," Marie said to her siblings with a smile.

"Me too, what're you gonna play first?" Ivy asked her.

"I think the airplane simulator," Marie answered. She glanced at her sisters and asked them, "You knew?"

"Yeah," Kathleen said with a slight laugh at her twin. "But I wanted to do that too."

Surprised when their three little sisters were saying they did too, Marie said, "I hope Mum won't mind."

"I doubt it," Skye said, having walked up behind the five while they were talking. "To be honest I'd like to play that too… eventually."

"Why eventually?" Fleur asked, confusion on her face.

"Because I'll let you guys play first," Skye said. "Including your mom."

Smiling, Mary said, "Thanks for letting me choose."

"You're welcome," Skye replied, not surprised when her wife was laughing before she took her hand and they continued after their kids.


"Is everything okay?" Mary asked her wife as she moved to sit next to her on their couch.

"Yes, I was just making sure I didn't get any texts," Skye said. She glanced at the time on her phone and said, "I guess they wouldn't."

"Yeah, it's almost twelve over there," Mary said, spotting their time as well. She then leaned in a little more and kissed at the side of her wife's head saying, "I think I know what I want."

"We're not going to sleep?" Skye asked her, looking at her eagerly.

"Hmm, not just yet," Mary replied before her wife was taking her lips with her own. She responded eagerly before they were slowly parting and she smiled before saying, "You might get tired of it though."

Shaking her head, Skye said, "If it's just us against each other I don't care." She brushed her lips to her wife's and then said, "We should start."

"You're sure?" Mary asked. When her wife's response was to merely nod she smiled and waited for her to remove her glasses. Once they were set aside she pulled off Skye's pajama shirt and immediately began kissing at her breasts. She felt a thrill at the way the investigator was moaning in response and she did her best to control herself though it was difficult. Eventually she pulled away and said, "Put those back on."

"Yeah," Skye said, grabbing for her frames and slipping them on. Able to see her wife clearly then she was moving to pull off her shirt since Mary didn't have glasses and she gently cupped her hands over her wife's mounds as soon as they were exposed. She moved her palms down deliberately to feel her nipples sliding against her palms before she was pulling them away.

Watching the investigator lean over and gently press a kiss to the tips of her nipples, Mary made her stop and once Skye was looking up at her said, "Let's hurry."

"We need to," the investigator replied with a smirk before she was moving to grab her wife's pants to begin. After their clothes were all off Skye said, "Who?"

"You," Mary said firmly before she was making her wife get out of her way.

Once they were straddling each other Skye leaned into her and kissed her saying, "Do you want me to stop at all?"

Shaking her head, since she couldn't speak yet, Mary took a moment before she told her, "Don't, just slow down and speed up… a little."

"Slow?" Skye asked, feeling the excitement at the thought of their rhythm with that. When her wife nodded again she was kissing her as hard as she could before she was moving her hips, moaning into Mary's mouth while she was doing the same to her in her pleasure. As her wife had requested she alternated the speed her hips were moving at until she was going faster than she'd planned when the pleasure was too much for them. Their orgasms were intense and close together, calling her wife's name before she was merely crying out and they were doing so at the same time. When they were calm again she smiled and said, "How're we going to top that?"

"I'm not sure if we can," Mary said with a sigh as Skye pulled away. They were soon laying on their sides before she said, "But we could do something."

"You have an idea?" Skye asked.

Studying her wife for a moment, Mary couldn't help smiling at her saying, "No, but I can tell that you do."

Skye was about to speak but paused and then said, "I do but it's going to be simple."

"It's how we started," Mary replied with a shrug. She wasn't surprised when her wife almost lunged at her and kissed her deeply before they were slowly parting after some time like that.

"Start now?" Skye asked her. When her wife gave her a slow nod she couldn't help laughing before she kissed her and was doing that for a while again until she pulled away slightly. "I love you Mary," she told her seriously.

Smiling, the doctor brushed her lips to her wife's and then murmured, "I love you too Rose." She kissed her a little harder and said, "I need you."

"I need you too grá," Skye said seriously and then moved her hand down in between Mary's legs. Her wife was quickly responding to her gentle caress and she smiled before kissing her as they began their slow and deliberate pleasuring of each other.


"You know you didn't really need to do that," Harrington said as she walked up to her girlfriend.

Glancing over her shoulder Fox said, "Sorry, but having to wash out dry coffee in a mug drives me crazy." She paused and then asked with a smile, "Does it bother you I'm like that?"

"No," Harrington said. "Though conversely-"

"You're not that bad," Fox interrupted.

"Good," Harrington replied, leaning against the kitchen counter next to her and watching her closely for a moment. She then smiled before she pushed herself up and moved to wrap her arms around the officer from behind.

"I'm almost done," Fox said swiftly as she felt the way she was being embraced.

"Oh, you don't need to go that fast," Harrington replied. She couldn't help laughing softly as the officer looked over her shoulder at her and said, "I'm serious."

"That's… a little weird," Fox replied though she was smiling so her girlfriend would know she was teasing her. "But sweet."

"Good," Harrington said, pressing her cheek to Fox's shoulder. She listened to the water running and once it had stopped she straightened up. "We should go to bed," she told her.

"Definitely," Fox said as she was being let go. "And I don't want to kill the mood but I would like to brush my teeth, really quickly."

Nodding, Harrington said, "Don't worry, I do too." She took the officer's hand and they made their way upstairs to the second floor where they were going straight into their bathroom. As they were brushing their teeth she couldn't help sneaking looks at Fox but did the best she could to hurry with her task. When she had finished and had her hands free she moved to hug the officer tightly saying, "I've never enjoyed Easter so much."

"The kids help," Fox replied with a smile, not surprised when her girlfriend was nodding. "But, I am glad we're alone now."

"Me too," Harrington replied before they were kissing. It was gentle and she appreciated it, but since she could feel Fox's hands sliding around the small of her back she shuddered in pleasure and then pulled away. "Come on," she said softly, taking her girlfriend's hand.

Allowing Harrington to lead her to their bed, Fox had her turn once they'd reached it and she leaned down into her. They kissed gently before she was making the director turn around so she could unzip the dress she'd worn. "You looked beautiful tonight," she said softly as she gently ran her fingers over the exposed skin.

Shivering in pleasure at the touch, Harrington said, "So did you."

"I'm just glad you don't mind I wore pants," Fox said jokingly though her tone was a little weak. As she'd spoken she was lightly tracing her fingers around her girlfriend's freckles here and there on her back and was so focused she nearly didn't hear her response to that.

"Why would I mind?" Harrington asked, glancing back. She laughed when the officer merely shrugged and said, "Help me," starting to get her dress off of her.

After she had it in her hands, Fox set the dress on the armchair the director used to place her clothes and stepped back to her in a hurry. She immediately brushed her palms over Harrington's breasts, pleased when she let out a soft moan. "But-" she started to say when her girlfriend was pulling her hands away.

"Not yet," the director replied before she was pulling on the bottom of the sweater Fox had worn. It took little effort to get it off and once it was she leaned down slightly to brush her lips to the top of each mound encased in a white bra. "Philippa," she murmured as she raised her head.

"It won't take that long to get the rest off," Fox replied with a smile before they were hurrying to remove the rest of each other's clothes. Once everything was off they were pulling the sheets down on the bed and fondling at each other which made her start to laugh. She was pleased when her girlfriend was doing the same before they were laying down on the bed.

Since they were kissing at the same time, Harrington took advantage of their side by side position to tangle her legs with the officer's. With that set she then pulled her thigh up so she could brush against Fox's sex though it ended up making her jerk away slightly.

"What're you doing?" Fox breathed heavily though she was feeling a great deal of pleasure even from that simple touch.

"Making sure," Harrington replied easily before she was smiling at the way her girlfriend groaned and tilted her head back.

"Now that you know… I think I want something else," Fox said before she was getting out of her girlfriend's hold and going off the bed.

Harrington, having pushed herself up, watched eagerly as the officer returned with their double ended toy and she said, "You're lucky I agree," as her girlfriend was climbing back on the bed.

"Oh, and if you hadn't?" Fox asked, moving to nuzzle her lips against the director's.

"I guess we'll have to get your handcuffs," Harrington said, though she kept her tone joking.

"We agreed on that," Fox said, narrowing her eyes at her girlfriend though she was smiling shortly after. She leaned into Harrington and then kissed her tenderly before she pulled away and said, "And I'm glad we did."

In response to that, Harrington was capturing her girlfriend's lips with her own and they were kissing passionately until they were eventually slowly parting. She smiled and said, "I love you."

"Love you too Mia," Fox said before she was kissing her again until they began touching each other eagerly to move into making love.


"Is everyone alright?" Beckett asked her husband with a smile while he was closing and locking the door behind him.

"They are," Castle replied, not surprised she had guessed what he'd done after he'd taken their coffee cups down to the kitchen. "And since everyone is set…"

"Get over here," Beckett said in mock annoyance, moving a little on the couch. When he was sitting next to her she told him, "Before we do anything I'd like us to discuss what we're going to do."

"In regards to what?" Castle asked slowly. He wasn't surprised when his wife gave him a look and he cleared his throat for a moment before he said, "You start."

Trying not to give him a look, Beckett said, "Would you want to do a sampla."

"Of course," Castle said firmly. "But I'm wondering if we couldn't take a little… longer."

"We can," Beckett said thoughtfully. She then smiled and said, "But it's always hard to do when we're in a sampla." She quickly noticed the way her husband was staring at her with wide eyes and said, "You wanted to apply that to another one?"

"If we do that with the sampla I would have to stop," Castle told his wife seriously.

"So would I," Beckett said simply. She wasn't surprised when he was about to speak before he paused for a moment and she said, "Is there something you want to add to that?"

"Ask," Castle explained. "And do you think we have time to use one of our books?"

"Not really," Beckett said seriously. "I think we should do this and then go to bed."

Breathing out a little hard, Castle nodded and then said, "I agree," before he was leaning into her and kissing her deeply. He was pleased to feel her responding very shortly after he'd begun and something came to him before he was pulling her onto his lap. "What were you doing while I was gone?" he asked her a little breathlessly.

"Thinking about you; us," Beckett said firmly before he was taking her lips again. That time she was slipping her tongue into his mouth and was nearly smiling at the way he was tangling his tongue around hers. But her attention was more focused on them dueling together wildly until they needed to breathe. "Rick," she started to say before he kissed her. That time it was sensuous and gentle before they were slowly parting and she said, "You could touch me."

Opening his eyes to look at her, Castle saw she was serious and he nodded before he told her, "You can do the same thing you know." He wasn't surprised when she was leaning into him and they were kissing hungrily again before he was running his hands around her back. He couldn't help himself and was eventually sliding his hands under her blouse to span across her back.

"Love," Beckett moaned in pleasure before he was kissing her hard. It didn't last long and she took the opportunity to run her hands down his chest though over his shirt. When she gently pinched at his nipples she looked on while he groaned and tilted his head back in his pleasure. He was immediately after reaching for her and cupping his hands over her breasts through her blouse and bra and she was moaning in joy at the rush of pleasure through her already sensitive body.

"Can I… take this off," Castle said after he'd slid his hands down to her sides.

Nodding Beckett helped him with it since it was pulled off easily and she said, "I should have said first if I could do the same with you."

Castle studied her for a moment before he was picking her up to her brief cry and carrying her to the bed where he gently set her down. He wasn't surprised when she was reaching for the buttons on his shirt and he kissed her while she was working on opening it. He was a little startled when she did so swiftly before she was pulling away from him slowly.

Leaning down, Beckett gently kissed the center of her husband's bare chest a few times before he was pulling his shirt off. She then moved to his nipples and suckled gently at them before she was pulling back in time for Castle to crush his lips to hers. She was responding eagerly before they were running their hands around their bare skin eagerly until they were parting to breathe. She smiled and said, "I didn't know I wanted this."

"Me too," Castle said before they were kissing heavily though briefly. When they were breaking away from each other he said as he panted, "Please tell me I can take more off of you."

"If I can do the same," Beckett told him.

"Yes," Castle said before they were crushing their lips against each other at the same time before he was reaching around her bra to unhook it eagerly.

Pulling back when she felt the fabric around her loosening, Beckett took it off before she was tossing it aside and wrapping her arms around her husband. She initiated their kiss before her husband was sliding his hands carefully up and down her sides, just barely letting his palms rub against the sides of her breasts. When he soon after moved his hands to cup them she was ending the kiss abruptly and told him, "You're-" before he was kissing her again.

When they'd stopped, Castle wasn't surprised when she was reaching down to him and opening the fly of his pants. He brushed his lips to hers and then moved to stand up before she was following. "Let me," he told her. As she sat silently he cleared his throat gently while admiring her breasts before he was taking off his pants before he was doing the same with his boxers though his wife was helping him then. Grunting heavily because she was grasping his erection, he soon brushed Beckett's hands away before he was moving to kiss his her as he kneeled slightly on the mattress.

"Help me," Beckett said, moving away first to say that. She smiled briefly when her husband was nodding rapidly before she was laying back to allow him to remove her leggings and panties at the same time. As soon as the rest was on the floor she was smiling while she was pulling her husband onto her. After he was settled she said, "You don't need to do that much."

"Got it," Castle said before he paused. "Remember what we agreed on."

"And remember I told you I was going to have to do the same," Beckett said firmly before she tugged him further down to her. They were kissing hard and she eagerly slipped her tongue into his mouth before they were dueling a little frantically at first. When they eventually calmed down and were only caressing at each other she wasn't surprised when he moved away first before she said, "You're going to start?"

"No," Castle said firmly, smiling for a moment when she was startled. "I want what you got."

Beckett was about to teasingly ask him what he wanted when he forestalled her by bowing his head to her breasts and kissing them eagerly. She sucked in a deep breath before her husband was going to her nipples. When she felt him suckling at her she cried out briefly as she could feel the sensation travel straight through her body. He went over both and while he was she was gently caressing at the back of his head until he was raising it.

"I had to," Castle explained since he realized he'd taken a while.

"I know, but it's alright," Beckett assured him. She wasn't surprised when he nodded and she then said, "But you'll start now right?"

Castle felt the better reaction to her was to raise his body enough until she was taking his erection off his stomach. He tensed when he felt she was using both hands right after that, one to hold him and the other to run her index finger over the tip of him. "Kate," he groaned while she was sucking off her fingertip.

"No?" Beckett asked with a smile. She accepted his kiss when he lowered his head to her and she was soon holding onto him with one arm wrapped tightly around him until they were slowly parting.

After they had gazed into each other's eyes for a moment, Castle and Beckett moved together carefully to couple and were shortly after accomplishing it with mutual groans of pleasure at the sensation.

"Love," Castle breathed. "You feel so… good."

"So do you," Beckett said, not surprised when he was taking her left leg and making her place her ankle on his shoulder. She wrapped her right around his waist as tightly as she could before he carefully pulled his hips back. Moaning at the sensation of the slight friction, she did her best to move with him since she was aware they weren't going to be in the position for that long.

"Too much?" he asked her, angling his hips down and hearing her cry.

"No! It's perfect…" Beckett said, amazed she'd been able to speak clearly. "But… how long?"

Castle found he couldn't really respond and instead he was continuing to thrust in her, altering his movements for that since he was able to watch her pleasure. He nearly forgot they had agreed to a sampla, but after he realized the pleasure in him was rising he was carefully slowing down and then stopping. "How do you want to do this?" he asked her seriously.

"You're going to have to pull out," Beckett said. She quickly stopped him when she felt him beginning to do so and said with a smile, "And let me help you when you do." She wasn't surprised when he was nodding rapidly and she waited before he was withdrawing. As soon as he was she was reaching down and gently taking his length in her hand before letting him go so it was resting against his stomach.

Breathing out a little hard Castle moved to lay next to her and he said, "This isn't going to last."

"I know," Beckett replied, feeling how much her sex was throbbing around nothing. She turned to him and asked, "What if we just saved the sampla for another night?"

"Or," Castle said, turning onto his side to face her. "You go on top of me for… however long and then if you want the position we just had let me know."

"Is that what you want?" Beckett asked. She smiled when he was frowning at her and said, "I want that too," before she kissed him lovingly until they were moving to switch positions eagerly.

Once his wife was straddling his lap, Castle wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "Before you start…" He trailed off as he'd half expected her to speak, but when he'd reached her breasts he was a little startled she hadn't. But he didn't complain and was instead kissing at her mounds lovingly before capturing her right nipple with his mouth. He then began to suckle and continued doing that for a while until she was stopping him.

"You've had your turn," Beckett told him teasingly. She laughed as she pushed herself up while he was wrinkling his nose and then moved to take his length with her hand. Her laughter had ended the second her fingers curled around the rigid, yet smooth flesh and she said, "I want to do this more often."

It took Castle a moment to respond since he was entering her again before he was saying, "The… position?"

Shaking her head Beckett told him firmly, "Holding your cock."

"You can't do it often," Castle said, squeezing at her hips a little hard.

Smiling at him Beckett said, "I know, but I'd like to a little more than I usually do."

"Another time," Castle said, his voice sounding strangled since she was flexing her muscles around him. "Kate," he nearly hissed to her when she just continued. "Please move on my cock."

"How?" Beckett asked, trying to be teasing though it was a little difficult since she was affected as well. "Like this?" she asked as she rocked against him. "Or this?" she then inquired while she bounced on him a few times.

"However you want!" Castle nearly shouted to her before she stopped moving and he slapped her ass.

Gasping in pleasure and arching her back, Beckett started to rock on him as she'd originally planned to do before she was kissing him. She was pleased he was responding immediately and that his hands had remained on her ass before he began massaging at her. When he was slapping at her gently again she broke off from him and told him, "If you want to keep doing that you can."

Shaking his head Castle explained, "I'm going to get us off too soon." Studying her he then asked, "Is that what you want?"

"I don't know," Beckett said, biting her lower lip. She did her best not to laugh when her husband was suddenly looking down in between them and up at her since she'd stopped moving. "I needed to be able to speak," she told him in amusement.

"Great, please don't get mad at me," Castle said before he was flipping his wife over on her back. He enjoyed her cry of surprise before he was pulling away from her and telling her, "I know, I just wanted to do this," as he gently made her turn onto her stomach. Once she was settled he leaned down and was gently kissing around her back, going in a trail until he was at her ass. He pulled up for a moment there and then began to caress her before he said, "Can I?"

"Yes! Now and just once before I come," Beckett directed him. She wasn't surprised when her husband was looking at her in surprise and she said, "My pussy is throbbing without your cock my love."

Feeling a warmth rush through him and center at his erection, Castle nodded before he was firmly slapping at her ass and delighting in her cry of joy. He wasn't surprised when she was recovering quickly and moving with his touch to get her on her back. With her legs spread wide already he let her take his length before he was sinking in her and going slowly before she was crying out to him at the same time.

"Please, fuck me love, I don't want to wait anymore!" Beckett outright begged him before their hips were pressed together. When he started to thrust again she was crying out loudly and digging her nails into his back before she moved her feet in between his legs. With her extra leverage their skin was literally slamming together and they were groaning and cursing to each other until it became too much and they were breaking fully. Her ecstasy in her orgasm was intense and she thought she might climax again before she was calming down.

Castle was doing his best to not collapse on his wife after he'd come down from his high, breathing roughly against her neck before she was caressing his hair and back. "We were going to take our time," he said when he could speak, raising his head.

"It doesn't matter," Beckett told him firmly. She sighed when he pulled away from her and withdrew before she said, "And we did finish kind of early."

Freezing for a moment Castle asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes," Beckett replied firmly before she grabbed for him since he was sitting up too by then. They were kissing deeply before her husband made them slow down and become sensuous before they were very gently parting. She smiled against his lips and said, "I love you Rick."

"Love you too," Castle said. "Goddess," he breathed as she was pressing her breasts against his chest.

"Shiek," Beckett responded immediately, kissing him deeply before they were laying back on the bed. They were kissing for some time before she was parting her legs at his touch, feeling her anticipation rising. She was soon feeling him sliding inside her yet again as they were continuing to kiss and she couldn't wait for their lovemaking to commence, aware he was feeling the exact same as her.
