After all the tweets I'd seen on my feed after the recent Valentine episode I couldn't help myself, my muse was working overtime. This is for all of us that know that Catherine is Steve's endgame. He has shared so much of himself with her, they are not only lover's they are best friends. A true relationship is based on two equal halves, compromise, love and friendship.

This story doesn't tie in with any of my other stories and is just what I imagine as being a typical valentine's day for our favourite couple, especially after what happened in season 2 with the Governor's fundraiser.

Hope you enjoy,

McGarrett's Residence.

Steve knew he had a big grin plastered across his face as Catherine slowly kissed her way back up his sweat covered body after the mind-blowing orgasm she'd just given him with the help of her decadent mouth. She kissed his transplant scar just before the tip of her tongue traced the line of the scar as she moved up his chest. She flicked her tongue over one of his nipples as she tweaked the other with her finger and thumb just before her teeth grazed over the tender nubbin.

He bucked against the bindings fastening him to the headboard as Cath bit his nipple before soothing it with her tongue. She repeated the action with his other before kissing her way up his neck and covering his mouth with her own. He groaned as he tasted himself on her tongue.

Catherine pulled back from the kiss, returning his grin as she rested her chin on her folded hands that where placed on his chest. "Happy Valentine's day." She purred.

"Oh yeah, definitely a happy Valentine's day." He agreed with a chuckle, still a little breathless. "You want to open the cuffs, so I can give you your present?"

"I don't know, I kinda like having you at my mercy." She teased, even as she rolled from his body and grabbed the keys for his cuffs of his bedside drawers. Reaching across his body she unlocked the cuffs, moaning when his mouth latched onto one of her nipples as the position put her breast near his mouth.

Slipping his hands around her body to hold her to him he flipped them both over, pinning her body beneath his as he kissed her. Steve slid his hand under the edge of the mattress and pulled out the envelope that he'd stashed there the night before when she had been taking a bath. She was completely distracted by his kisses and didn't realise he had anything till he pulled away from her lips and rolled to his side. He presented the envelope to her with a grin.

She took the envelope from him and carefully lifted the flap so she could pull the card out. Opening the card, she read the simple message inside with a smile before setting it aside to open the small envelope that had been stashed inside.

"Steve." She breathed as she looked at the show tickets he'd purchased for her. "Chicago?"

"I know it's only a high school play…" He began only to be cut off by Catherine.

"It's perfect, thank you." She told him as she leaned across to kiss him. "Yours is downstairs." She promised him.

"You got me something?" He asked in surprise.

"Of course, I got you something. You didn't think that was your only present, did you?" She asked as she dangled his cuffs from her finger.

"I wouldn't have minded if it was." He assured her with a grin, sweeping down to kiss her lips as he asked. "So, what did you get for me?"

"That part you've been after for the Marquis. I called in a couple of favours from one of my academy room-mates." She explained.

"You managed to get it?" He asked excitedly. He had been searching for that particular part for months without any luck. She nodded her head and he grinned back at her. "You are amazing, thank you."

"Your very welcome." She told him. She'd spent weeks tracking the part down. When she'd located one in a scrap yard near Little Creek, she had quickly gone through her contacts list to see which of her friends were stationed in the Virginia area.

"I've made reservations for dinner tonight." He announced as he brushed his mouth across her, teasingly bumping her nose with his own.

"I might have to meet you there then." She teased playfully as she nipped at his lip.

He leaned in kissing her again as he rolled her beneath him as he deepened the kiss. The ringing of his cell phone had him cursing as he grabbed it from the charging cradle.

….

Iolani Palace.

Several hours later.

Steve glanced at his watch as Lou dragged their suspect out of his SUV and escorted him inside the Palace. He sighed as he realised he probably wasn't going to make the dinner reservation with Cath. He pulled his cell from his pocket to phone her just as he heard the unmistakable growl of her corvette pulling into a parking bay. He crossed to her car pulling the door open as she turned off the engine and slid out from behind the wheel.

"I'll just go wait over there." Danny said pointing to the entrance as he left Steve and Catherine to talk.

"I was just going to call you." He admitted as he kissed her hello. "I'm going to have to miss dinner." He apologised.

"One step ahead of you, Commander." She told him with a smile. "I figured you'd be tied up with this case for a while, so I phoned the restaurant and cancelled." She told him as she moved around to the trunk of her car and opened it to reveal bags of take out.

"You are amazing." He told her as he snagged the bags out of the trunk and headed towards the palace with her. "Have I told you how much I love you?"

"Maybe once or twice." Catherine replied as she slipped her arm around Steve's waist. "Hey, Danny." She called out as she reached the entrance to the palace where the jersey Detective was leaning against the wall.

"You brought, dinner?" He asked, smiling when she nodded. He shook his head as he turned to look at his partner. "Do you have any idea how lucky you are?"

"Yep." Steve agreed with a smirk as he gave Cath's hip a squeeze as they headed up the stairs to the Five-0 offices.
