Catherine Rollins smiled at the man stretched out in the sand beside her. God, she could die right here, right now and still be a happy woman. What was it about Steve McGarrett that made her heart beat a little faster and her imagination run wild? Why did she want to see him nude, running through the waves as water dripped off his dark hair? She reached out and ran her fingers along his taut stomach, and was shocked when he grabbed her arms and twisted so that he was on top of her.
"Were you thinking about taking advantage of a man while he's sleeping?" McGarrett asked with a grin.
"Hell, yes, I'd be foolish not to, but since you're awake..." Catherine said, smiling as he pressed his lips against hers.
"We could take this inside," McGarrett suggested when he heard the others laughing nearby. They'd been through a lot in the last few months, but things were finally turning around and the new governor had reinstated Five-O. Catherine was due to report back to her ship in two days and they'd decided to have a BBQ at his place. Kamekona was taking care of the food and the steaks were sizzling on the grill alongside more than a dozen skewers of shrimp.
"I think they'd probably miss us, but there's always later...I can model what I bought when Kono and I went shopping yesterday."
"Just as long as I'm the one to take it off," McGarrett told her and smiled when Kamekona told them the steaks were ready. He reluctantly pulled away from her and helped her to her feet before walking over to the area where a fire crackled and the other party goers were already putting food on their plates.
Steve smiled when he saw Danny holding Grace's hand while he carried the birthday boy in his arms. The celebration was twofold in that Danny's son, Charles had turned one year old and Rachel had allowed him to have him for the evening. Steve could still see the look on his friend's face when he told him the results of the DNA tests. Danny was Charles' father and Rachel was not going to fight him on visitation. They'd sat down with their lawyers, Stan was present at Rachel's request, and he was there to support Danny.
"Happy birthday, Little Man," McGarrett said and took the boy when his arms stretched out to him. He remembered the day Rachel and Danny had come to him and asked him to be Charles' godfather. He'd been speechless for several seconds, but happily said he would be honored to do so. Rachel's best friend had flown in from New Jersey to stand as godmother and they'd both promised to be there for Charles and Grace if anything ever happened to her parents.
"Sounds like he needs to be changed," Catherine said when the baby started to cry and shove his fists into his mouth.
"Smells like it too," McGarrett said.
"Let me take him," Danny said and reached for his son, only to have Steve shake his head.
"I can handle him, Danny...besides I think Gabby is waiting for you," McGarrett said of the pretty woman his friend was dating exclusively for the last six months.
"Danno, want to play volleyball?" Grace asked.
"Grace, how about Catherine and I play with you, but first we need to change your brother," McGarrett said and grabbed the diaper bag as Catherine took the little girl's hand. They walked away from the group and spread a blanket in the sand as Grace began taking things from the bag.
"Charles, you smell," Grace said and waved her hand in front of her nose as he baby laughed and sputtered.
"That's for sure," McGarrett said and smiled as he changed the baby and looked up to see Catherine watching him closely.
"Is there something I should know about, Commander?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about," McGarrett said as he pulled the shorts up over the diaper.
"You seem pretty at ease with diaper changes," Catherine said with a grin.
"I used to help mom with Mary," McGarrett answered with a grin.
"Handy man to have around," Catherine said.
"Would you mind taking Grace and Charles back to their dad while I dispose of this?" McGarrett asked and passed the baby over as Grace reached for the diaper bag.
"I think Grace and I can handle that," Catherine said and smiled as she walked back to the group.
Steve watched until they reached Danny and Gabby and turned away. He walked toward his home and was glad he'd invested in a diaper genie since Danny brought the children to his home on a regular basis. Not that Steve was complaining, hell no, he was happy when Danny showed up with them. He reached the shed and opened the door where he kept the diaper disposal unit. He dropped it inside and looked around, frowning when he felt as if he was being watched.
Steve turned and looked around, but nothing seemed out of place as he searched the backyard for anything that could explain why he felt like someone had walked over his grave.
"Hey, Steve, you better hurry or Kamekona's going to serve you a charcoal briquette," Williams called.
"He better not ruin my steak," McGarrett called and closed the door to the shed. He shook off the feeling of being watched and re-joined the others, accepting a plate of dinner from Catherine before joining her and the others at the table they'd brought from his back yard. He still couldn't shake the feeling that something was out of place, but when Catherine ran her fingers along his inner thigh it didn't seem that important.
"Are you still up for tonight, Sailor?" the woman asked softly, breathing gently against his neck.
"Hell yes," the SEAL said and returned the favour.
"Why don't you two get a room?" Williams asked with a grin.
"They already have one and I'm pretty sure they've used it once or twice," Chin said and smiled as McGarrett wagged his eyebrows mischievously.
"More than once," the SEAL told them and received a swat on the arm from the pretty woman beside him.
"Make some room," Kamekona said and pushed between McGarrett and his date, "Lieutenant, if he doesn't know how to make you happy I'm quite certain I'm man enough for…"
"Every woman here," Williams teased.
"You got that right, Brah," Kamekona told them with a grin. "Any woman would be happy to have a man with a little meat on his bones…"
"You're kidding, right…a little meat, Kamekona?" Williams asked. "I think there was a movie made about you…Gargantuan."
"You don't say? How come I haven't seen any royalties from this Gargantuan?" the big man asked and reached for a piece of garlic bread.

Anger flared in the green eyes watching the scene taking place a short distance away. She'd been coming here every few days, hoping to find Steve McGarrett alone so she could tell her how she felt. The problem was there were too many idiots standing in her way. She could put up with Danny William, Chin Ho Kelly, and the disgusting man they called Kamekona, but the women were another matter. Kono Kalakaua didn't seem to be that important to him, but the other bitch had to be taken care of.
She knew her name, understood that she was her rival and wanted to tear her away from Steve and make damn sure she kept her hands to herself. A smile formed as she thought of a way to make sure Catherine Rollins paid for touching him in such intimate ways. She could make damn sure she never used her hands again.
Paulina Donaldson had always taken care of people and she could do more for Steve McGarrett than anyone else. She could give him everything he ever wanted and make sure he never had to work a day in his life. He wouldn't need to go out there and put his life in jeopardy for people who didn't appreciate it. She would show him the good life and take him on trips around the world.
She watched as the big man forced himself between McGarrett and Rollins and smiled. Perhaps he wasn't as obnoxious as she thought. If he wanted her, then maybe she could use him to help her, but something told her he would not do anything to aid her in getting what she wanted. What was truly hers and was meant to be from their first meeting.
Why was it some women just didn't see what was right before their eyes? She'd taken care of Steve McGarrett on several occasions and there was no mistaking the fire that ignited between them. She'd felt it from the first time their eyes met, and when the time came, and she was with him, she knew he would see she was the only one he was meant to be with.
"Death will come for anyone who tries to get in the way of our future together, Steven," Paulina whispered and smiled when his head came up and he turned to look in her direction. She could feel his eyes on hers, yet she knew he could not see her, and she would keep it that way for now.

Catherine watched as Steve turned his head in the direction of the house and frowned when she saw his face take on the look that usually meant his instincts were kicking in. "Steve, what's wrong?"
"Yeah, Brah, why do you look like you just ate a rotten tomato?" Kamekona asked.
"I don't know…just a feeling," McGarrett told them.
"Oh, hell, here we go…what will it be this time, Steven? Guns or knives, and how many intruders are we talking about?" Williams asked.
"Uncle Steve, come see what I found," Grace said and took his hand.
"What did you find, Grace?" McGarrett asked as the child dragged him toward the ocean.
"I think it's a starfish or a sand dollar," the child answered.
Catherine watched as Steve and Grace walked toward the ocean as the waves washed away the sand castle they'd built earlier. It was getting late and she knew the others would be leaving shortly. That meant she would have him to herself for the night and there was something to be said for making up for lost time.
The little Teddy she'd bought while shopping would do very nicely and the fact that Steve had volunteered to remove it had her tingling with excitement. Tonight promised to be a long one, but that was just fine with her. In this case, sleep deprivation wasn't some kind of torture to be avoided. Just the thought of his hands on her body brought a smile to her face.
"Something tells me if the house is a rocking don't come a knocking," Williams observed.
"What was that?" Catherine asked.
"You're smiling," Kono told her knowingly.
"Danny, why don't we start cleaning up?" Gabby suggested.
"We only just finished eating," Williams said.
"I know, but I believe Catherine and Steve would like some time alone," Gabby told him.
"What about dessert?" Williams asked.
"I believe dessert is what she's taking about, Brah," Chin said with a grin.
"Well then bring it on…"
"You're not that dense, Danny, start cleaning up or dessert will be the last thing on your mind," Gabby said and smiled as she seductively rubbed up against him.
"Hmm, are you spending the night?" Williams asked.
"No, but I believe Catherine is."
"Hell, Gabby, that's not what I meant."
"I know, but like I said we need to clean up before we drop Charles and Grace off at Rachel's," Gabby said as Steve and Grace returned.
"Grace, watch your brother while we help clean up," Williams said as McGarrett lifted the baby and made him smile.

Paulina watched him pick up the baby and felt her heart skip a beat. He would make such a wonderful father and their baby boy would look just like him. He would have the same dark hair and soft eyes you could get lost in. She knew it was time to leave when they started cleaning, but was already planning her next move. It would take some time, but eventually, Steve McGarrett would be in her arms, and her bed, where he belonged.
