Chapter eight
Waking up in the mornings, it had been instinct to reach out for Catherine, and he smiled softly, feeling her there beside him.. It had been hard most mornings to wake up to nothing except the emptiness beside him but now he had her right there beside him and he enjoyed the feeling of her body next to his.
Part of him did still wonder how long she would be there by his side when he woke up, but he knew he needed to not stress about this now when he was waking up in a beautiful country with his amazing and beautiful girl by his side.
It wasn't that long ago that he had been talking to Lincoln about how Catherine Rollins was his girl, was being the operative word and he had been wistful knowing he hadn't heard from her in a while, and now he was able to call her his girl in a current tense again and it made him incredibly happy.
Pressing his lips against her shoulder as he moved closer to her and snuggled in, he thought back to their previous nights activities. "Last night was perfect wasn't it?", Catherine's voice was soft and light and still a little sleepy, "Mmm it certainly was perfect.. I keep replaying it in my mind over and over", he answered her in his own soft voice.
Feeling her turn in his arm, he gazed into her eyes and smiled softly, "Good Morning Lieutenant", moving closer to him, she rubbed her nose against his and their lips met, barely touching at first but then she grinned and whispered back, "Good Morning Commander", then their lips touched and they kissed deeply, their bodies pressed close to each other, letting out a soft moan before pulling away slightly, "So, I was thinking.. once we do some sight seeing, we could go to some secluded place, stay in a cabin for a while, get away from civilisation for a bit?"
Nodding her head she smiled, "Mmm, long as I'm with you", he chuckled and leaned in, kissing her softly, "Ohh you will be with me, I'm not letting you go anywhere without me again".
Two hours later, they were up after showering and had breakfast and were on their way out the door. As much as Steve would love to stay in bed with her all day and night, he didn't come to Australia just to stay in the hotel and not see any part of the country. "So, where are we headed to Sailor?", she asked him as he lead her out to the car.
He knew that she loved the opera and had always wanted to go to the Sydney Opera house so he smiled cheekily, "You'll see when we get there". Once they had been to the opera, he wanted to take her out to lunch at a fancy restaurant attached to the opera house and then maybe do some shopping, and perhaps the Sydney Aquarium and then in the evening something they had both always talked about doing but never thought they would, go for a night time bridge climb on the Sydney harbour bridge.
"So it's a surprise then.. I guess I can deal with that", he chuckled at that as he went to open her door for her, "You will love it, I promise". Just before she got in the car, she smiled, leaned into him and gave him a sweet kiss.. "Knowing you and your niche for knowing what I like, I am sure I will".
Once they arrived at their destination, and had parked the car, she began to realise where they might be going as they walked up closer to the opera house.. Stopping for a moment, her hands moving to her mouth, and she looked over at him.. "You remembered!", she gasped happily taking her hands away from her mouth to move towards him and wrap her arms around him.
He smiled softly and kissed her, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her a little closer. "I've never forgotten anything Catherine". After standing around for a moment just being in the moment with each other, he pulled away and took her hand in his, "Shall we?', he asked her smiling softly as she nodded and they began walking again heading towards the opera house.
Though the opera was boring to Steve, he couldn't help but kept gazing over at Catherine, loving that she was completely enthralled in it and knowing and seeing she was happy was all he needed. Her eyes never once left the stage, though her hand remained in his the whole time, and he thought back to when Danny had asked what he was looking for and he said peace.. Sitting here in a whole different country with his girl by his side at a place where she had wanted to see and experience for a long time ever since she was a child and he was finally giving her that opportunity.. This was peace in his eyes.. This was his peace, seeing that smile and look of contentment on her face.
A few hours later….
It was late afternoon and the two of them were now back on their way to their hotel room to get ready to go out to dinner, and then Steve was going to take her on the bridge climb, though like the opera house, she didn't know about it yet as well. They were laughing all the way to their room and people walking by them couldn't help but stop to glance at the young couple who looked very much in love.
"Soo.. do we have time to.." Catherine spoke softly, her eyes shining happily "you know", she continued gesturing with her head towards the door, and as he opened the door, he chuckled and kissed her softly, moaning a little as she followed him in and he pressed her again against the door, effectively closing it. "Mmmm as much as I'd love to take some time for", he raised his eyebrows, "that kind of fun, we should get ready for dinner and our night out but…", he continued to press himself against her body, "if we are quick, maybe we can have some fun in the shower".
Nodding her head, and grinning from ear to ear as she giggled, and kissed him deeply, "Mmmm ohh I can be quick Sailor when I need to be". He smirked and chuckled, "That is one thing that I love about you Cath", he whispered as he kissed her back softly, their kissing growing heated and more passionate, soft moans escaping their lips.
Stepping into the shower a few moments later, shivering at the feel of the warmth of the water on her skin, she smiled feeling Steve's naked wet body pressed against her back, her eyes closing, neck tilting to let Steve access her neck better when she felt him kissing her neck. "Mmmm Steve", his hands moved to her hips, his arousal growing, her hair getting wet under the spray of the shower, leaning the back of her head on his shoulder.
His fingers moved down her body and she let out a soft moan as he gripped his hard cock, stroking himself to full hardness for a moment before sliding into her slowly from behind, rubbing her clit with his fingers. "Ohh god Cath, you feel so good", he whispered in a low voice, slowly thrusting in and out of her, his lips moving down her shoulder to her back, her hands resting on the wall of the shower to keep herself up, her body shivering and trembling just slightly.
"Ohhh god Steve, don't stop, please", she moaned a little louder, breathing heavier, her hips rocking against his as he moved inside her, both of their hearts racing.. Every single time with her felt special and like their first time back when the first made love.. Even if it was just a quickie in the shower, or a long drawn out night of love making, it always made him feel connected to her.
Moving inside her a little faster now, his breathing getting more heavier as well, the warmth of the water on his back, fingers rubbing her clit in a more frenzied way, she turned her head and met his lips in a searing heated kiss, their bodies pressed against each other, both reaching their climax at the same time, both moaning each other's names, panting, Catherine's body tensing up and shaking, Steve panting and breathing harder, slowly down a little and kissing her, "Mmmm I love you Cath", he whispered softly, opening his eyes, "I love you too Steve", she breathed in and sighed happily looking back into his eyes.
Once they were dressed and ready, they headed out again, the bridge climb began at five in the evening and went for roughly two to three hours, and so Steve had decided since they had a late lunch, they would do the bridge climb first and then get dinner afterwards knowing that their were nice restaurants in Sydney open later. "So, where we going now Sailor?", her voice had a hint of curiosity as she spoke and he chuckled, "Let me guess", she continued", walking backwards to the car to face him, "It's a surprise".
He had been considering it, but he smirked, and raised his eye brows.. "Well, I was going to but as soon as we get to a certain point, you will realise". It was a chilly afternoon, and he waited till they were in the car, and was warming it up till he let her know., reaching into his pocket to get the tickets out, "It's just something we always promised each other we would do together one day if we got the chance to".
He handed her the tickets and waited for her reaction, delighted when she took them and squealed softly, finding himself wrapped around her body as she held him, "We're really doing this? We're gonna do the Harbour bridge climb?", her voice this time was excited and as she pulled away to sit in her seat, he chuckled and nodded, "We're really gonna do it Lieutenant", he saw the smile on her face and couldn't help but fall a little more in love with her. This is side of their relationship that they never really got to experience before, the just having fun and not having to worry about work getting in the way.
They got to their destination and parked in the carpark before heading inside to get signed in and get ready and their initiation done. Catherine was smiling wide the whole evening, it had been her dream to one day do this, and here she was getting to finally live out that dream with the love of her life.
Taking around two hours to get to the top summit, it was a good thing that both of them still kept in shape and trained daily, because it was a hard slog, and it was certainly going to wear them both out by the end of the evening, but it was something they both were enjoying, the wind was blowing and it was a clear night, the harbour was still and though there were several others joining them for the climb, it still felt intimate to them at the same time.
"Wow, this is amazing", Catherine smiled taking in the scene before her, her eyes travelling all over the place to get a good view, sadly no cameras or phones were allowed on the climb, mainly for your own protection in case it was dropped, but this was worth committing to memory. "It sure is", Steve's soft voice answered, however he was busy gazing at Catherine when he said that, he never realised just how much they both needed this now, "I can't believe we're finally here", he added, as she turned to look at him, leaning in to kiss his lips softly. "I know.. we always said we would, I never thought it would happen but here we are.. I love you so much Sailor".
Kissing her back gently, he smiled softly not realising the offical bridge climb photographer was taking candid photos of everyone as well as posed ones as well, and took a few shots of them looking into each others eyes and kissing each other, before asking if they wanted to pose for a photo. Steve had thought of proposing here, but after thinking it through, he wanted it to be a more intimate moment with the two of them, and not other strangers around to watch it happen. If anyone else should see first hand, it was their Ohana.
It was a little after nine pm when they were finally back in the car, their purchased photos with them, and Catherine sighed happily, Steve's hand on her thigh as he started the car, they were both hungry and exhausted at the same time, "How bout we go grab some take away?", neither of them were dressed to go out anywhere fancy as they had to wear clothes that were comfortable for the climb and both were too exhausted to sit in a restaurant for a long period of time.. It had been a huge day and both were satisfied and happy, "Sounds good to me… How bout once we have had dinner, we head back to the hotel and get in that bath, relax out our muscles for the evening before heading to bed for the night?"
Chuckling at that, he knew it would end up in a love making session in the bath, but he also knew there was nothing more he would rather do then make love to his beautiful girl after the amazing day they had together. The next few days they would do some more things in the city and then he was going to take her to a place called the Blue Mountains and stay in a cabin there for a few days and visit a place there called the three sisters.
Also on the itinerary was travelling to each of the states and territories as well and spend a few days in each state, doing as much as they could. He knew the team would be fine without him while he was away, Danny was his number one backup, so it was between Danny and Lincoln to keep the team going without him while he was away and he knew they would do just fine.
Though he knew at some point that he would need to speak to Danny and the rest of the team at some point to inform them that he wanted to reinstate Catherine as a member of the task force but for now he was happy to let the team be and let himself and Catherine finally have time to themselves, as he looked over at her from the drivers seat, he smiled, finally able to feel that peace he had been searching for and he knew this was it for him.
Author's Notes.
Thanks again to you all for your continued support, I am sorry I haven't been updating as regularly as I wish to be, life gets in the way however I am so happy to bring this latest update on Perfect. It was harder then I first thought, sending two Americans to my own country, because as much as I love the country I was born into and raised in, there is so much of it and there is so much that they can do and see so I am going to focus on a few states of Australia and do a couple little things in each state, and then I think I'll flash back later on down the track and they can 'remember' other moments in Australia. I thought the Opera House and the Sydney Bridge Climb were two very iconic things to do whilst in Sydney.
SteveMcGarrettLover:
Thanks, I am so happy you enjoyed that chapter, and I really hope you enjoy this one I have just done. This one took me a week or two to get finished mainly because I just needed to make sure it was as the story's name states was perfect.
Marmunoz:
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it.
AgentD.6:
Yes, they have no issues in bed at all, that is for sure. I do agree with you there, I think that had Steve actually acted and given her the choice of staying, it might have changed things but I think the wording coming from Catherine, he felt like he wasn't making her happy or content, I think there is hurt feelings on both side, and there wasn't enough communicating so I am hoping to change that in this. They certainly will have a talk later about him not proposing when he had the chance and why he felt like he couldn't when she gave him that goodbye speech but yeah I always thought she was forced into working for the CIA, it was clear in her 'how long do you want me to stay' question she wanted to stay but maybe when he didn't answer or didn't bring it up again, it made her feel like he didn't want her to stay.

Thank you very much, I am so glad you are loving my stories.
