Author Notes: Steve undercover with Kono on a boat. Just the two of them. Now what could possibly happen? No Lori in this one. Hooray!

Steve smiled to himself as he walked down the gangplank swinging a duffle bag full of his stuff. He was glad he had on sunglasses because that gave him a safe view of the very adorable bottom swinging down the gangplank in front of him. He couldn't believe he got to spend two weeks on a boat with Kono pretending to be on his honeymoon while they did surveillance on a yacht. That yacht belonged to one Sal Vitoni, kingpin and dealer in anything he wanted from guns to drugs to women. If they could get enough intel on this guy he was going down. Kono looked back over her shoulder and grinned at him. She was wearing a bright red bikini with a see through cover up over it. Why wear the cover up Steve thought. It certainly wasn't helping him to focus any better on the task at hand. He was going to have to control himself. He had no idea if Kono had any thoughts about him as other than a boss or a brother and he didn't want to hurt her. At least with all this time together maybe he could figure out if she wanted anything more from a relationship besides friends. Come on Steve, you can do this.

Kono looked back over her shoulder and gave Steve a huge smile. Might as well get into character now. She couldn't believe her luck. She was spending two weeks with Steve on a boat and what a boat! They would be doing surveillance, but they were also supposed to insure their cover, which meant public displays of affection and lots of fun swimming and diving and pretending to be on a honeymoon. She just wished she knew if he felt the same way she did. She had been attracted to him since day one, but always tamped down those feelings as he had a girlfriend: Catherine. That is until a few weeks ago when she shipped out long term. They had called it quits she thought. She wasn't sure, but she sensed that the relationship had been more about the sex than the relationship, but she wasn't sure. Hopefully over the next two weeks she could find out if he thought about her at all romantically. A girl could hope.

They reached the boat and Steve jumped onboard, reaching for her bag and then catching her around the waist as he settled her on the boat as well. She looked up into his shaded eyes.

"Ready for an adventure, Mr. Foster?"

Steve lifted his shades and grinned down at her.

"Why yes I am Mrs. Foster. What about you?"

"Are you kidding? I want to pinch myself. Two weeks of this?"

"Let's take a look around. Shall we?"

The boat was a Regal 52 Sport Coupe and it was loaded. The upstairs had a huge deck with a grill top and a refrigerator. It could be completely closed in if the weather turned bad. Downstairs they found a huge galley and living room area along with two staterooms. They explored the elegant surroundings and there were the repeated sounds of oohs and ahs. Steve gave Kono a choice of which one.

"Pick your bunk."

"You're bigger than me. You take the master. It has a bigger shower. I don't mind the smaller one."

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely. Besides, if I want more room, I'll just borrow yours when I need to. Deal?"

"Deal. Just remember to make your bed every morning and I'll leave my bed rumpled up so it looks like we are sharing the one room."

"Clever SEAL."

"Why thank you ma'am. Now we should cast off. How about you follow me up and get in touch with the guys while I set the coordinates?"

"Sounds good."

Steve stood back and let Kono take the stairs up. The view was great.

"Stop staring at my butt McGarrett."

"Hey Lani, it's Cal to you now Babe. You're my wife remember?"

Kono rolled her eyes as they made it back up on deck.

"You're going to be incorrigible aren't you?"

"Why yes. Yes I am."

Steve smirked at her and started entering the coordinates into the computer. Kono opened her cell phone and called Danny.

"Hey man."

"Kono! So, how's the married life? Have you consummated the marriage yet?"

"Danny, eww!"

"Oh come on Kalakaua. You know you want him. I see the way you look at him."

"Mind your own business Danno."

"Where are you guys?"

"We just pushed off and we're heading to the bay where Vitoni is moored. We wanted to let you know, so you can monitor our progress."

"You two have fun out there and don't do anything I wouldn't do."

Kono rolled her eyes.

"Hanging up now."

"Say hi to Steve for me. Give him a hug and a kiss will ya?"

Danny laughed and hung up. Steve turned to look at Kono as he started the engine.

"What did Danny say?"

"To give you a hug and a kiss from him."

Steve took the opening.

"Well, don't hold back on my account Mrs. Foster. After all we are on our honeymoon."

Kono laughed then and stood on her tiptoes. She kissed him on the cheek and threw her arms around his waist, giving him a big hug.

Steve had not expected her to actually follow through, but her returned the hug and laughed right along with her. Any tension was broken and they sat together while Steve drove the boat to the bay they had coordinates for.

When they arrived there were several boats anchored there. The biggest of them was the Vitoni yacht. Steve whistled as they drove past its length. They could see him holding court on the back of the boat with a group of men. There were several fake blondes wandering around or lounging on the deck. He looked up as they drove past and Steve slipped his arm around Kono's waist, pulling her tightly against him. The clear message to Vitoni was MINE.

They found a spot not far from the yacht and Steve dropped the anchor. Kono went downstairs and when he turned around, she had reemerged from below carrying a towel and some sunscreen. She walked out to the front of the boat and spread her towel out. She stood and slowly removed her cover up. Steve watched in awe as she stretched, shook her hair out and put her sunglasses on. She let her hair blow in the breeze and then she called out to him.

"Cal, could you come and put some sunscreen on me?"

Steve swallowed hard. Was she kidding? You didn't have to ask him twice. He was up over the rail and to the front of the boat by the time she sat down.

He kneeled behind her and she pulled her hair to the side, passing him the tube of sunscreen. As she handed it to him, she looked back over her shoulder and smiled. His heart began to beat faster and he returned what must have been the goofiest grin ever. He was totally smitten. This was a Kono he rarely got to see and he planned to enjoy every minute of this time together. He would not forget about the job they had to do, but this was too good to be true. Kono was asking him to touch her. Other than wrestling around on occasion, she kept their physical contact to a minimum. He placed one hand on her soft shoulder and leaned in.

"Are we putting on a show for Sal?"

"On a first name basis with our guy already Cal? We need to establish our cover, right?"

"Okay then. Let's really give them an eyeful."

Steve twisted open the tube and started to rub her back. Kono pulled her knees up and leaned into her bent legs. She reached around with one hand and untied her bikini top hiding her chest with her thighs. Steve almost dropped the tube of cream when he saw her bare back. He changed position and sat cross-legged behind her massaging the cream into her skin.

Kono almost swallowed her tongue when Steve's strong hands started to assault her back. He wasn't just spreading the cream around; he was giving her a massage. It was glorious. She turned her head sideways and laid it on top of her knees. She looked back at him and he winked at her. She closed her eyes then and just enjoyed the sensations. The man knew what he was doing. He kept it up for some time and she started to wonder if he liked this as much as she did. She opened her eyes again and found Steve looking down at her from under dark hooded eyelids. He saw the way she was looking at him and he reached down, grabbed the ends of her bikini and slowly tied them back together. His hands stayed there caressing her back, then he did something totally unexpected. He pulled her backwards into his chest and turned her head capturing her lips with his. He palmed her cheek as he kissed her passionately. Kono felt her heart racing in her chest, but she responded back just as eagerly. They were both lost in the moment when they heard whistles and clapping from the nearby yacht.

"Hey you two get a room! Take it below will ya?"

Steve kept kissing her for what felt like an eternity before he finally released her and whispered.

"I definitely think we got Vitoni's attention."

He pointed towards the yacht and there was Vitoni watching them from the railing. He waved at them and smiled. As he walked away, Steve locked eyes with Kono and they just looked at each other silently. Both were wondering the same thing. Were they acting or was that real? Each one hoped with all their heart that it was real, but they started to feel awkward when Steve spoke up.

"How about steak for dinner? One of the perks is a fridge full of amazing food."

Kono didn't want to leave the circle of Steve's arms, but knew she had to.

"Sounds great. I guess I better finish with the sunscreen and actually lay here for a while. You should go downstairs and start up the surveillance equipment so that we can start to listen in on the conversations. I think our act convinced Vitoni we aren't a threat."

Steve pushed her back into a sitting position, placed one warm open-mouthed kiss where her neck and her shoulder met and stood up. Kono stretched out her legs and started putting cream on them. Steve stood and looked down at her taking in her beautiful body. Kono looked up at him.

"What?"

"Oh, I was just thinking what a beautiful wife I have and what a lucky guy I am."

Kono blushed and ducked her head.

"You're awfully good at this undercover thing."

"No, just one happy man."

Kono whipped her head around to catch his breathtaking smile. Steve whistled as he made his way to the back of the boat. This was going to be one exciting operation.
