Winds of Change

Fandom: Hawaii Five-O
Chapter 16:

Coming back to the ranch after being back in Hawaii, seeing all the damage that had been done to Joe's home.. It nearly had him undone.. Catherine was in the drivers seat for a change as they drive through the dirt road to Joe's ranch.. She was the only person to know about the ranch, not even Danny or any of the five-o team knew about it until that fateful day when they lost Joe.. Still, it had made her feel special all these years, Joe had given him a key so he always had a home to go to even if he didn't want to be in Hawaii and there were many times when they were both on leave and came here to get away..

She grew up all over the place, but the one place she spent majority of her was Savannah in Georgia. Her father was based for a while at the Kings Bay US Navy base and they had a place in Savannah.. They had housing on base as well, but they also had a house in Savannah as well as that was where Catherine's parents and her grandparents grew up as well. They were close to their family as well so they preferred to stay there as much as they could.

Being in Montana for her was peaceful and relaxing, she was always happy whenever Steve said he wanted to spend their R&R time there.. For her, she was never one that needed to be out shopping or going out every day.. She lived an extremely stressful life in the Military, they both did, so her being able to take a good book, and relax out on the patio of the ranch and have a swim in the pool and enjoy her company with Steve, that was all she ever needed..

It was roughly two weeks after arriving back at the ranch and in two weeks, there was not much time for R&R like usual when they were here.. Instead it was all business and the first order of business was to contact Harry Langford and get him on board as well. Catherine heard him on the call with Harry and listened into Steve's side of the conversation, Steve putting him on speaker so Catherine could hear as well.

According to sources that Harry had been speaking to, they found Gregors Thomsen and he was being flown direct to Steve and Catherine at the ranch in Montana.. They still didn't have a link to where Omar Hassan was and so they needed to interrogate him so they could find out as much intel as they could on him. Thomsen himself was Danish and so lived in Denmark and that hadn't helped in aiding them to find Omar.

The silence she used to love on this property.. apart from the noises that she and Steve used to make during their love making was no more.. Just whispered memories of their time together as another sound had taken over… The screams of Gregor Thomsen being tortured..

Those screams outweighed the silence..

It wasn't daunting for her anymore.. She had seen Steve in action many times and had seen what he was like before and after a session like this.. She knew he hated it, he couldn't stand the idea of torturing another living soul even if they had a damaged or corrupted soul but one thing she remembered him saying that got him through it all was her.. Catherine never judged him for what he had to do, she never once looked at him differently or treated him any other way then she always had..

There had been only one time she had ever walked in on him whilst he was in the middle of torturing Thomsen and that was to let him know that he had a phone call from back home in Hawaii, his team.. The way he looked, blood and sweat mixed together, she felt nauseous and had to step back to take a few breaths.. It wasn't because of seeing what he was doing, it was the look in his eyes, the hollowed out empty stare.. He became another person when he was acting in this capacity. It was the only way he could do this part of the job, if he switched his emotions off and became robotic with his methods.

It scared her a little but at the same time, and she felt ashamed of it as well, she felt oddly turned on too.. Not everyone was built for the military and in particular for this kind of job in the military, she used to think of it like a surgeon and cutting people open wasn't for everyone as well and same applied here.. Steve had the courage and the guts to do it, even if he didn't like it.. She knew he threw up for hours after the first time he ever did a torture interrogation himself but as time went by, he found a way to deal with it.

They had more men to stand guard and keep watch, though it was a remote part of Montana, they had found it once before and knowing that his lawyer had possibly gone missing or wasn't answering his calls, they knew that Omar wouldn't hesitate to bring men back to the ranch.. They were all retired Navy, all SEALS as well, and all of them had a personal connection or history with Joe White and all wanted to do it as a favour to the man.

Later that evening when they were heading to bed, Steve showered and dressed, sitting on the edge of the bed, she knew that this was affecting him even now.. Losing Joe was like losing his father all over again and despite him wanting to find the man responsible for it, it still didn't sit well with him that he had to go that far.. He too had been on the other side of the chair, being tortured, twice by Wo Fat, so he knew how it felt for the other person and though he hated these men for doing what they did to his SEAL team and Joe and it was personal, he still hated the thought of torturing someone till they are badly injured and near death..

Sighing softly she walked into the room after her own shower, and straddled him, sitting on his lap, her legs on the outer side of his and smiled softly noticing him gazing up at her, "I'm sorry you had to see that Cath", he greeted her in an apology, they hadn't really spoken much since she walked in on the middle of him interrogating the man, and she slid up on him a little closer and kept her gaze on him, "I'm not Steve.. I know what you do and I love every part of who you are, the US Navy SEAL Commander side of you included.. You don't have to hide who you are from me or any of your family for that matter.. We know who you are, and we love you no matter what".

His hands came to rest on her hips, her sweats and tank top she wore to bed revealing her slenderness and her curves, his lips close to her own, and he kissed her softly, his hands moving down under her sweats, squeezing her ass, and continuing to move down, letting his hands move inside her underwear, still squeezing her ass carefully, her hips rocking back and forth when she began to feel his own arousal growing. Whenever he felt a loss for words with her, he always made it physical.. It was their way of speaking to each other without saying a word.

Steve needed her to ground him right now.. He never liked doing this, when he was active in the Navy or the couple of times he had done it since he had become a member of the reserves, he knew it was a vital part of his job and he knew it got results, it's why he was even dong it with Thomsen but he still hated the idea of it, and executing it made him feel physically sick. The day he ever began to enjoy it, he knew he needed to get out of the line of work he was in.

Her hands moved to his own sweats, breathing in heavier when she found him hard and heavy against his thigh, his own hands now moving to tug her pants down, their kisses getting heavier and more needier, only pulling apart when Steve tugged at her shirt, pulling it up over her head, taking his own tee-shirt off before he launched his mouth towards hers again, kissing her deeper and with a passion she hadn't felt in a long time.

Sitting in his lap now in just her panties, she could feel how wet she was, her wetness seeping into her underwear, he lifted himself up off the bed for a moment to tug his own sweats down and then sat back down on the bed, his fingers moving towards her panties, and sliding in, and finding her clit, he groaned at the moistness, loving how hot and wet she felt against his fingers, her own body shuddering when his fingers came into contact with her clit, rubbing the sensitive nub slowly and softly, her breathing getting heavier, a moan escaping her lips, clinging to him with one arm while her other hand moved to stroke his hardness, her thumb running over the tip.

It wasn't too long before Catherine had him writhing with pleasure, and he was throbbing, wanting more, needing to feel himself buried inside her.. As soon as he called Catherine when Joe died, he told himself to keep things professional, that he didn't need the complication of her being in his life again as a romantic partner but as soon as he saw her, the way she held him when he was at his worst, those first few days, how patient she was, how understanding, how caring and loving, all that professional talk he had built up in his mind had gone out of the window.

There was just something there between them both, their chemistry was like no other and no matter the distance or the time away from each other, when they got near each other, they were like teenagers who couldn't keep their hands off each other. Even when she was there for that short time when they ended up on that island with Jerry, they had a tryst as well.. If he hadn't been with Lynn when she came to get him to rescue his mother, he was sure that would have ended in sex as well.

"God, I need you Cath," was all he said, his voice low and husky, his fingers gathering her panties to one side, his other hand guiding his hardness to her entrance, the little settee that was at the end of the bed helping to keep Catherine balanced on her legs as she moved forward, wrapping her legs around him, her knees at either side of his hips, and letting out a soft moan when she pushed down, letting him slowly slide inside her, Steve kissing her neck, and sucking on it gently, groaning as his eyes fluttered closed, his arms wrapping around her body tight.

"Mmmm Steve", she groaned out in pleasure, loving the way he always felt when he was inside her.. To think that it was only mere hours ago, he was out there in the barn using his hands to torture a man and now he was using those same hands to pleasure Catherine now.. This is why she loved him, because despite what might be happening out there, he could always separate the two and never once treated her the way he did anyone else. They might on the odd occasion like using his handcuffs and zip ties and even blindfolds and feathers to pleasure each other, but neither would ever be truly rough with the other.

Gyrating her hips, she started to feel the motion he wanted to set, holding him tight as she rode him, his hands moving up and down her body, wanting to feel every inch, every curve and every part of her, his own hips rocking up towards her, his body on fire.. This had become a nightly occurrence ever since they got Thomsen to the ranch, and began interrogating him, it was a way for Steve to release his anger in a healthier way, when he felt he was starting to go too far, he would step away for the day, and let Catherine take care of him, and he wasn't sure what he would do when it was time to let her go again..

"Ohh fuck Cath", he moaned softly loving how she clenched around him, his heart racing inside his chest.. "Feels so good baby", they moved together, as much as it was about pleasuring each other and being physical with each other, it was a connection as well, and Catherine loathed the day when it was all over and she had to go work on another case.. All she wanted was to be in his arms, and stay there, she knew her time at the CIA was slowly coming to an end, and one day she would find her way back to Hawaii hoping to god he was still wanting her.

"Cum inside me Steve, please baby", she whispered in his ear, "Need to feel you fill me up". Those words always drove him right to the edge and he moaned softly as he moved faster, thrusting into her deeper, hitting her cervix and taking a breath before he moved his kisses to her lips, though he didn't usually wear protection, he knew she was on the pill, and though it wasn't 100% fool proof, he knew if Catherine wasn't prepared for the consequences of what could happen, she wouldn't tell him to cum inside her, and if anything happened, he wouldn't ever consider leaving her.

Her pussy was throbbing, and tingling, her muscles contracting and the feel of him sliding in and out of her always felt so amazing, she was close, and moving one hand down between her legs, she stroked her clit, breathing in deeper and closing her eyes, "Ohh god Cath", he moaned in her ear, moving frantically faster and holding her close in his arms, and his body tensed up for a moment and as he moved inside her, he felt himself let go, and he felt his orgasm strong and hard, shooting his cum inside her pussy, crying out her name and feeling her own climax building up.

At the feeling of his cum shooting inside her, her own climax was building and she tightened up around him, her body shivering and shaking a little, and then she felt her, her cheeks warming up, turning pink and her body tensing up in his arms, trying to hold back the loud moan but failing to do so, crying out his name as she let her climax explode, her juices spilling out onto his lap, spreading a warmth down both their thighs, both of them panting as he slowed his movements down.

As they came down from their high, they settled in to bed together, both chasing their breaths and trying to get them back, she smiled softly at him, pulling the covers up over the both, sleeping naked.. They were both too exhausted to shower and rid themselves of the body fluid they expelled during their love making and would deal with it in the morning.. "I love you", she whispered as she kissed his shoulder, an area that had been injured recently and was just beginning to heal.

"I love you too Cath".

Those words were all she needed to hear before she closed her eyes and let sleep overcome her, knowing that no matter where they were in their lives, they would always love each other and would always come for each other if they needed the other. While she fell asleep easily, Steve was always restless, and couldn't ever get to sleep as easy as she did, but one thing he loved was watching her sleep, seeing how peaceful she was..

Staring at her closed eyes, he couldn't help but hope that one day this would be their happy ever after, that one day instead of being exhausted from torturing people and then a night of sex, they would be tired from chasing little kids around the house.. It is what kept him going through this, she might not come home now with him when this was all said and done but he couldn't keep the hope out of his heart.

Despite him saying he couldn't wait any longer, that is what he was going to do, wait as long as he needed to.. He wanted a family, to be married and have children and yet he knew why he couldn't make it work with anyone else, it was because he knew now that she was the only one he wanted to share his life with, and have all those milestones with.. She was his soulmate and his true love and nothing else and no-one else would ever live up to her.

Author's Notes
Thank you all for your ongoing support again, I really appreciate it so much. I hope you liked this chapter.. I don't know yet how comfortable I am at actually doing the torture scenes themselves and being graphic with them, but I feel this way is maybe a better way of doing it, it allows us to explore how Steve and Cath as well feel about it, and I think that is better then reading a chapter filled with violence and gore. Even in the show, it wasn't shown much on screen what he actually did, it was implied by how bloody Thomsen looked but not really shown what he physically did. I never anticipated to cap it off with a love making scene either but it felt right as I began writing it, and I think I really enjoyed how it turned out. I think I am getting a bit closer to marrying this up to the beginning of the episode after Joe's death when Danny shows up at the ranch, and I might try my hand at actually doing a bit of the interrogating and showing him do a little of the torture but not much.

Thank you, I am really so happy you are so supportive and and willing to write reviews for me. It makes me feel like someone is reading and taking notice of them. They do know each other so well and I for one love those scenes when they know what the other is thinking without really having to say much at all. It's why I added a bit of that into this scene here at the end. I'm sorry it's taken a while to get this one done but I still love this one as much as the others.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind words. I am sorry it has taken so long to get this chapter out, but the year has been a hard one for us all and I just lost all my writing muse for a while but I think it is coming back.. I wrote this whole chapter in one afternoon, only took me a couple of hours as well so think I will be starting to write more in the coming months.
