Danny went into the master bathroom and splashed some cold water on his face. He grabbed a bottle of water out of Steve's mini fridge and grabbed two aspirin and downed them. He put eye drops in his eyes to calm the swelling down and ran his hand over his hair. He had calmed down significantly by the time he reached the door of the lanai. He was shocked to see his mum and dad talking to Steve and, even more shocked to see his mum hug his SEAL. "Mum, Dad? What are you doing here? How? When? How long?" His questions came fast and furious.
Danny's mum answered him. "Danny. It is so good to see you! I have missed my oldest son. You look tired. Are you getting enough sleep? We came to see you, Grace and your Steve. He paid for our plane tickets and for our hotel. We are here for ten days and we got here yesterday. I love that we surprised you. Grace knew about this. She helped Steve plan the whole thing. He wanted to do things properly. Yes, we know he loves you. What I want to know is do you love him?"
Danny looked from his mother to his father and then to Steve and smiled a small smile. "Yeah, Mum. I love him. He is everything I could have ever asked for in someone I love. He loves our Grace. She and I are a package deal and he loves both of us."
Michael smiled and said, "Someone who loves both of you is all your mum and I could ever wish for you. I am proud of the life you have here, Danny." Danny hugged his father and felt tears coming again as he turned to Steve.
Steve walked to Danny and took his hand. He got down on one knee and said, "Danny, you make my life complete. I love your smile, I love your voice, I love your silly ties. I would love for you to marry me and make me the happiest man on this island. I asked your parents to come and watch this because I asked your folks' permission to marry you first. Grace, too. I wanted their approval before I give you this ring and my promise to love you forever. So, Danny Williams, will you marry me?"
Danny finally saw the ring Steve had in his shaking hands. He dropped to his knees and saw the tears glistening in Steve's eyes. He reached out and cupped his face in his hands and kissed Steve softly on the lips. "Yes, you big goof. I'll marry you. I am sorry about earlier. I am an idiot but, I would love to be your idiot. That is, if you'll have me."
Steve took the ring out of the box and slid it onto Danny's ring finger. Grace ran to both of them and threw her arms around them. "Thank you for letting me help you plan the surprise, Uncle Steve. I love you both so much!"
Danny felt like he was on an emotional roller coaster. He woke up broken hearted and came home a wreck determined to end things with Steve and now, he was engaged to his own personal SEAL and more in love than he thought was possible. He was exhausted. But, he had to know the answers to a few questions. "Um, Grace? Why were you in on this? What did you say to get your Nonna and Poppa on a plane to see us? How long did you have this planned? And, Steve? You used my child to plan your surprise? How did you keep me in the dark?"
Grace laughed and slid off her Poppa's knee. She walked over to Danny and hugged him. "Danno, it was easy. I know I shouldn't tell white lies because all lies are bad but, I sort of said that you were sick and you needed them here. It worked! They came. When Uncle Steve explained what the real reason was that they were here, they forgave us for lying. We planned all of this last week. Uncle Steve loves you, Danno. Can you forgive us?"
Danny hugged his daughter back and said, "You're right. Lies are bad-even white ones. Did Uncle Steve teach you about 'white lies'? I won't punish you for this but, if you lie again, you will be grounded, understood?" Turning to Steve he groaned and said, "Well, you big Neanderthal? What have you got to say for yourself?"
Steve had the good grace to look a bit guilty under Danny's stern gaze. "Well, Danny. Um, it's like this: I needed to ask for permission to marry you because I am nothing if I'm not a traditionalist. I wanted to get their approval-theirs and Grace's because they are the three most important people in your whole life. I was thinking about how I could smuggle them onto the Island without you knowing and I asked Grace for help. She is razor-sharp smart. She told me she had it in the bag. Her words, Danno. And, it worked. She got them here. I wanted them to see me propose to you and see that I love you. Can you forgive me for breaking Rule One? I am sorry."
Danny was touched by Steve's words but, he still needed to be stern with him because he taught Grace about white lies and he, himself had lied to Danny. "OK, you get the same deal as Grace. I won't punish you for this but, never lie to me again or, I will ground you. And, your grounding will be-well, let's just hope we never have to go there, OK?"
Steve smiled and said, "OK, Danno. I promise no more lies. Can we please celebrate our engagement, now? I even bought a chocolate cake and got Strawberry Waffle Cone ice cream for you."
Isabelle smiled and said, "OK, lectures over. Grace and Steve won't lie to you again, Danny. Now, let me really look at you. You had your appendix out? What happened? Are you OK now, really?"
Danny sighed as he finally relaxed after all that he had put himself through during the day. The anchor that was around his neck fell away. "Yeah, Mum. I am doing much better, now. Steve took care of me from the moment I was released from the hospital. He moved me and Grace in here that night and I am happy and safe now, for the first time since I left Jersey."
Steve told Michael and Isabelle to take his truck for the week and tour the island. He gave them the keys and asked them to take Grace home to Rachel's when they left. When everyone was gone, he turned to Danny and reached for his hand. They walked upstairs to the bedroom and Steve said, "Strip."
Danny slowly stripped his clothes off and, when he was naked, Steve said, "Get on our bed. We need to talk." Steve stripped his clothes off as climbed on the bed and lay next to Danny. After a few minutes, he rolled over to face Danny and said, "You know, I can sort of see where you would have thought I was cheating on you but, you know me, right? I could NEVER ever cheat on you. I meant what I said on Saturday night-you are my endgame. I love every little weird thing about you. But, seeing you crying earlier made me promise myself I would never make you cry like that again. Can you please forgive me?"
"I love you. You are my endgame, too." Danny took Steve into his arms and rocked him until Steve fell asleep and stayed awake stroking his hair and thinking about his life. Rachel was an accident that lasted in his life for four years. She was too uptight for him. He thought she could be his soul mate. Now, he knew that was Steve in his world. He also knew that, because she was so uptight, she may not be able to deal with his and Steve's relationship. He may have to gear up for a fight over Grace and that terrified him but, he had Steve and 5-0 on his side now-he was NOT alone anymore in his struggle to see his daughter.
When the morning came, Steve woke in Danny's arms and kissed the first part of Danny he could reach with his mouth which was his shoulder. He tried to move but Danny banded his arms around Steve and murmured, "He's mine and you can't take him from me." He looked at Danny's face and could see he was having a nightmare. He now tried to use a bit of strength to pull out of Danny's grasp. "Danny? Come on, Jersey. Wake up for me. I'm here and I love you so much. Wake up for me, Danno!"
Danny woke up with a start. He reached out for Steve and fell so easily into his arms. He kissed Steve hard and dirty on the mouth and trailed his lips down over his jaw to his neck and across his chest. His hands moved down over Steve's stomach to his rock hard erection. He gently stroked him a few times and said, "You are all mine, Steven. I need to make love to you. Please let me be in control. If things get weird, we can stop, OK?"
Steve was so in control of every aspect of his life outside the bedroom that all he had to do was look into Danny's bluer than blue eyes and, he gave in to that simple request with a subtle nod of his dark head. Danny smiled and kissed Steve. "I have been checking into this-I want to try some things I saw and, if we like them, we can try them again."
Danny got out of the bed and went to the special drawer in his dresser that he had hidden the stuff he needed in order to make love to Steve. Steve was curious. "What's in the bag, Danny?"
Danny was blushing as he took the lube and the condoms out and laid them on the bed. He also brought out the pillows and said, "Like I said, I've been checking into this. Trust me-we need these things to do what I have been dreaming about for as long as I've been in love with you."
First thing he did was settle Steve against the pillows. He placed one of the new pillows under Steve's lower back and smiled as it caused his legs to naturally spread open for his view. Made Steve look so wanton and downright sexy in Danny's mind. Steve was curious about the pillow until he saw the absolute look of lust in Danny's blue eyes which were just about blown wide open and fixed on Steve.
Danny softly slid his fingertips over Steve's hips. Steve moaned his name and that spurred Danny to slid his hands between Steve's thighs and move his legs even further apart, showing his perineum and the puckered skin behind it to all of its glory. Danny ghosted his fingers over that newly bared skin and Steve moaned in pure pleasure. "Danno? What are you doing to me? I want you so much I ache for your touch."
Danny opened the lube and put some on his fingers, coating them liberally. "Trust me, Steven. I promise, if this hurts you in any way, I'll stop. Just trust me, this is how all the fun stuff starts." He added some extra lube to the cleft in Steve's butt and slid his index finger into Steve slowly so he could adjust to both the intrusion and the size of his finger. He arched under Danny's hand and moaned his approval. Danny pulled his finger out and slid two fingers in, causing Steve to moan even more wantonly at his Jersey Man.
Danny finally slid his ring finger into Steve and began to flex his fingers to stretch the muscle and widen out the opening. When he brushed against Steve's prostate, he arched off the bed and shuddered, "Oh, Danno. That's the spot!" Danny slid his fingers out causing Steve to moan their loss. He lined up his cock and said, "If this hurts, tell me please, Steve because I never want to hurt you doing this." He slid himself into Steve and both men moaned each other's names as they joined. Danny was waiting for Steve to adjust to his size inside him when Steve said, "Danny? I know when you have sex, you're supposed to move. Please move, I can take it!"
When Danny moved in and out of Steve, he kept hitting his prostate on every other thrust, making Steve gasp out Danny's name as he felt himself curling up and about to come. With a shiver and a long drawn out "Dannnnnno!", Steve came and shot thick ropes across his stomach and chest as he felt Danny tensing up and then exploding inside him as well. When they both came back to their senses, Danny pulled out of Steve and Steve curled up into Danny's chest, breathing heavily as he calmed down and snuggled into Danny's chest, nuzzling into the thick hair and gasping to regulate his breathing.
"That was…that was SO intense! Not to sound like a total virgin here but, I am glad my first time with a guy was with you, Danno. That was the best!"
Danny was still processing everything that he had just done and was overwhelmed at the level of trust and feelings of love he was experiencing. He curled into Steve's arms and fell asleep soon after, his little snores making Steve smile as he joined him in slumber.
The next morning came too fast. Steve was curled into Danny and woke up to his face in a thick, soft smattering of chest hair. He was still smiling at what they had done the previous night. That level of intimacy was what he was craving for his whole life and now that Danny had shown him the way, he wanted to reciprocate but, he was afraid of hurting Danny. Practically every woman Steve had ever been with had told him that he was too big and couldn't fit inside them the way he wanted to to have sex properly. Now, with Danny, he did not want his length to scare or hurt his Jersey Man. His phone rang a familiar ringtone-shit-Catherine!
"Um, hi Cath. How are you doing?"
Danny cracked his eyes open, not wanting to listen in but, not in any shape to move, could not help himself. He heard both sides of the conversation.
"Hello there, Commander. How are you doing? Can you make a trip out to Rainbow for some loco moco and me? I've missed you."
"Cath? Um, sorry but, no can do on breakfast. I have company here at the house, you know. Danny and his daughter, Grace, have um, moved in here. I can't leave them."
"Can't or won't, Steve? I know you have a soft spot for Danny and who doesn't love Grace? Come on out to see me, huh? I'll make your morning for you like old times…"
"Cath, you don't get it. I resigned my commission with the Navy back when Danno had his appendix removed last month. I realized I couldn't leave him alone because I fell in love with him. He is in my bed right now asleep in my arms and I am not leaving him for you or anyone else, does that make it crystal clear for you?"
"You resigned your commission? For Danny? And, you're in love with him? HIM of all people? Steve, I thought you and I had something special and now, I find out I was only a place holder for Danny of all people?! That is repulsive! He is a guy, for God's sake! Not even a cute one. You LOVE him?"
Steve went from apprehensive to angry in 2.2 seconds. "Cath. He is in my life and my bed because he never judged me negatively ever. No one gets me like he does. When he almost died last month, it was a wake up call for me. I knew I loved him and I had to show him how much I loved him. He is worth everything to me. He is my sun and my moon. I think he is gorgeous and yes, worth resigning from the Navy for. I would do everything in my power to protect him and I can honestly say I have never loved someone the way I love Danny. Now this conversation is over because I have a sleeping Danny in my arms-why would I need anyone else? Buh bye." He hung up and exhaled, hoping Danny was still asleep.
"Um, Steve? Sorry, babe, but I heard that whole conversation and I gotta say, I love you more today than I did yesterday and I cannot believe her! What is her problem with me? The way she talked it was like I planned to fall in love with you and steal you away from her! I would have never acted on my feelings for you if you had not caught me at your door trying to leave here after pouring out my heart to you."
"Danno, stop. I have absolutely NO intention of talking to her again. She is a part of my past and, as such, should stay there. You, my sexy Jersey Man, are my fiancée and the love I was searching for all of my life. Why would I need anyone else? You fill all of the holes in my heart and that is your gift to my soul. You are my salvation. Should I continue?"
Danny banded his arms around Steve and sighed. "No, but if you must…." When Steve smiled into his chest, Danny said, "We are a sticky sweaty mess here and I think a shower is in order for both of us. Now, you have a huge shower with a rainmaker shower head and two detachable shower heads. I say we go and make use of that and have some fun, too. Up for that mission, oh great fiancée of mine?"
Steve and Danny rolled out of bed and hit the shower. When the water was at the best temperature, they stepped in and immediately grabbed the detachable shower heads and soaked each other in pure joy. Danny put his away first and set about drowning a scrunchy sponge in shower gel and washing down Steve's body. He lightly scrubbed his back, shoulders, butt and legs and then, turned him around and washed his chest and legs with the rough scrunch rinsing him off under the rainmaker shower head. Then, he took a washcloth and squirted shower gel into it and washed his now half erect cock and balls gently so as not to hurt his SEAL. What he didn't count on was that his merely touching him was arousing him more than cleaning him.
Steve moaned and said, "Hold that thought, Danno." Steve gracefully left the shower, wrapped a towel around himself and went to the bedroom. He came back in to see Danno washing his hair and that sight enough was all Steve needed to come back into the stall with the lube in his hands and press Danny into the stall wall with a steamy kiss.
Danny's breath caught in his throat as Steve coated his fingers in lube and slid his hand between Danny's legs and his fingers inside him, making his gasp, "Steve! Are you sure? Once you do this, there is no taking it back."
Steve rolled his eyes and coated his erection stroking himself to full hardness before sliding himself into Danny slowly, trying to get him adjusted to his size. He only moved when Danny slid more of Steve into him and, when Steve nudged Danny's prostate, Danny said, "Again!" breathlessly. Moving inside Danny was amazing but, all too soon, his orgasm came and took over, making him come way too soon in his mind. Danny was struggling with his own rock hard erection and, when Steve realized it, he spun Danny around to face him and kissed him hard and dirty and then, dropped to his knees and took Danny into his mouth, sucking on the pre-come like it was his new addiction. He reached between Danny's legs and gently caressed his balls and growled around him. That possessive growl made Danny's orgasm so powerful, it struck with no warning and shot down Steve's throat hard.
When they had cleaned up they went back into the bedroom and dressed in jeans and tee shirts and made their way to the kitchen to make breakfast for Grace and his parents who were due to stop by from the hotel within the hour. Danny made pancakes and was dropping batter on the griddle when Grace walked into the room. She smiled at her dad and Steve.
"I have a question, Danno."
"Well, ask away, Monkey. You know you can ask me anything."
"Danno, I want to call Uncle Steve Daddy. Is that OK, Danno? I mean, he is gonna be my new Daddy when you get married so, I want to. Is it OK?"
Steve and Danny looked at each other and gasped at the same time. Danny raised an eyebrow. "Hey, Monkey. I think that is fine with me. I love Steve and, yeah, he is going to be a new Dad for you. I think calling him Dad is perfect. Steve? How are you with that?"
Steve's face was wearing a goofy grin that he reserved for when he was genuinely happy which was happening more and more these days since he began his life with Danny and Grace. "I am so honored that you consider me to be like a Dad for you, Grace. I love you and I promise to protect you and Danno with my life forever. Is that OK with you?" He dropped to one knee in front of Grace and looked into her eyes, searching for approval.
Grace regarded Steve with her soft brown eyes and then she launched herself into his arms and said, "I love you, Daddy! I can't wait till you and Danno get married! Where are you going to do the ceremony? In Hawaii or in New Jersey? Can Aunt Kono and Uncle Chin be there?"
"Hang on there, Monkey! Kono and Chin will be there no matter where we get married. Given. But, we can only legally have a Commitment Ceremony in Hawaii or get married in Jersey. Steve, where do you want to do this?"
Just then, Isabelle and Michael walked in and heard the tail end of the conversation. Isabelle chimed in. "You can have the wedding in Jersey with your family, Danny. Of course, Kono and Chin are invited. We have enough guest rooms to accommodate you, Steve, Chin, Kono and Max. Of course, Grace, too. Can you all get a week off in July?"
Steve looked at his kitchen calendar. It was February. Four months to plan a wedding, long distance from Hawaii to New Jersey? He looked at his new family and said, "Um, I think we can get 5-0 shut down for ten days then. Say the 22nd to arrive there, the 24th for the ceremony, and a week for a honeymoon and then, home by the 1st of August since Grace starts school August 3rd and needs a couple of days to catch up to the time difference? Does that work for you all?"
"We need to call Aunt Kono, Uncle Chin and Max to get them to come to Jersey with us! This is gonna be amazing! Wicked cool!" Grace was already on her cell phone to Aunt Kono and Uncle Chin and told them to call Max and tell him because of the time for the wedding being in four months! Grace became a ball of charged energy, running around the kitchen happily hugging everyone there.
Sunday rolled around and, since it was February vacation, Danny got to keep Grace from Wednesday on and she had to go home to Rachel's for a couple of days. Danny decided that was the best time to ask for Grace for those ten days.
"Danny, if you are going back to New Jersey to see your parents, that is fine. You can take Grace for the time you're asking for-no problem." Rachel was being very agreeable because she wanted to show good faith to Danny since he did help her and Stan with the birth of baby boy, Charles. "What are you planning while you are there?"
Danny took a deep breath. "Um, Steve and I are together. You knew that much, right?" When Rachel nodded, he continued, "He proposed to me and we are getting married when we go to Jersey. That's why we want to bring Grace with us. Can we still take her with us?"
Rachel sighed. "Do you love him?"
"Yeah, Rach. I love him very much. This is it for me."
Rachel smiled and hugged Danny. "As long as you are happy and in love, I am happy for you. You deserve to be loved, too. Yes, of course Grace can go to New Jersey with you and Steve. I think he will be a very good influence on our daughter. Perhaps, when you are home from this trip, we can re-visit the custody agreement so you can have Grace six months out of the year and we get her for the rest with weekend visits on both sides. Neither of us would have to pay child support and we get to truly share our little girl. Is that something you would want to do?"
Danny was floored. He never expected Rachel to be so accommodating. It was amazing! "Yes, Rach. I would love to make that kind of arrangement with you. But, I think we have to add a provision that states if you have to leave Hawaii, she has to stay in school here until she graduates so we don't rip her out of a school again. I have roots here and I won't be able to leave as easily as I did the last time. Neither can she. Agreed?"
"Of course, Danny. Grace and Charles are the most important people in my life. I will do what it takes to keep them both happy and safe. If that means working the custody agreement we have to word that way, that is workable. I will have my lawyer contact yours and we can have it hammered out before you leave for New Jersey if all goes smoothly."
Danny headed back to Steve's feeling like he was flying. He was so happy, he felt like he could burst from joy. He pulled into the driveway and walked around to the back of the house. He saw his parents, Kono, Chin and Steve on the lanai and smiled. His ohana all together and smiling. Steve looked up and said, "Danny, how was dropping off Grace? Are you OK?"
"Rachel wants to change the custody agreement so I can have Grace six months out of the year and I won't have to pay child support any more. She also is going to word it so Grace stays here even if Stan gets a job he has to move for. She will not leave Hawaii until she wants to! I have everything I could ever dream for. I have my Grace, I have a wicked ohana and I have you, my own personal Super SEAL. My life is full of happiness." He hugged Steve and rested his head on Steve's shoulder, sighing.
Kono smiled and said, "Brah, we are doing a wedding in New Jersey? In July? How far are you from the beach?"
Danny pulled Kono into a hug with his free arm. "Yes, Kono. A trip to Jersey for all of us-Grace included. Yes, in July. We are three blocks from the beach and NO WAY is it all like it was portrayed in 'The Jersey Shore' show. SO wrong on so many levels!"
That earned a laugh from everyone sitting. Kono pulled out a bridal book and said, "Basically, we need to look at everything for the groom, huh? No brides here! Is the ceremony going to be at a place or at your parents' home? We should talk colors and if you want flowers or not. No bride means no expensive bridal type bouquets here. Cuts down on expenses, bosses."
Danny smiled at Steve who looked a bit shell shocked at the list of things she just spewed out. "Um, Kono? Can we table this list for tonight? We just got engaged YESTERDAY. I want a bit of time with my SEAL to get adjusted to that before diving in head first to planning a wedding ceremony with my Best Woman and Steve's Best Man, OK?"
Steve nodded and said, "I think dinner is on tap for tonight and tomorrow is time enough to start the wedding plans. Kono, Belle and Danny can plan it all out. I will help where I can but, since Danny was married once before, he is the expert here. I am clueless and I will be the first to admit that freely."
Chin went to the refrigerator and got the steaks, potatoes and pineapple out for the grill and Steve set about starting the fire so they could get food going. Belle and Kono were chatting about the plans and preparing a salad. Michael and Danny went to the shoreline and stared out into the waves.
"Danny, are you really happy with all this tornado of activity your lives will be for the next four months? Planning a wedding is a nightmare. I'm so glad your Mum and I got it right the first time. You and Steve are making this your last wedding, right?"
"Yeah, Dad, this is my last time with weddings. I love Steve so much. He is right-I know more about the stresses and the shit that can hit the fan if things are messed with. Kono is right, too. There is no bride so, we will not have to worry about a bridezilla like we had with Rachel. That last month before the ceremony was an absolute freaking nightmare!"
Steve came out and heard the last bit of that conversation. He smiled at how intent Danny was on making things easy and fun. He loved his Jersey Man so much. "Danny, dinner is almost ready. Come on and sit down at the table. You too, sir."
Isabelle grabbed Steve's hands and said, "You, my dear boy are going to be our son in law in four months. You have parents now. We want you to call us Mum and Dad, please. We love that you love our son so much."
Steve swallowed hard at the unexpected well of emotion her words tapped into in his heart. "I am honored to call you Mum and Dad. Thank you."
When everyone had gone home for the night, Steve and Danny made their way upstairs and got ready for bed. Steve jumped into the shower and soaped up his front. "Danno? Could you come in here and wash my back for me?"
Danny laughed and stripped his clothes off. He stepped into the spray and said, "How did I get so lucky in the Husband Lottery as to land me a SEAL? You just ooze sex, you know that, right?"
Steve laughed until Danny laid his hands on Steve's back and the laughter turned into moans of pleasure. "Danno, you know exactly how to touch me. This is one of the many reasons why I love and adore you."
When they got out of the shower, Danny and Steve put on pajama pants and crawled into bed after a long day at Headquarters. Steve sighed. "I love you because you are my perfection. I would be content to lay here in your arms forever but, we would miss too many things to do that."
Danny fell asleep happy and satisfied. He felt complete and safe in a relationship for the first time since his first girlfriend back in seventh grade. Amanda Crowley moved away but, she never cheated and she told him she loved him first. That was huge in his life. Steve told him he loved Danny every chance he got and that made Danny feel like he could fly. Just pure happiness, right there.
Steve's birthday was in March and Danny wanted to try once again to surprise his big ol goof. It never worked because he was sneaky and always figured out his surprises well before his actual birthday. Danny was casting around, thinking about how to pull off a surprise his goof when it hit him: nonchalance! Make him think he has something cooked up and hit him with something COMPLETELY different on the day. Oh and he knew just who he had to enlist to be just that snarky: Kono!
Danny found a lead in their newest case. A smuggling ring was trying to smuggle Hawaiian artifacts out to Japan and Danny found the money trail. Kono walked by his office when he said, "Yes!" She poked her head in and Danny said, "Where are Chin and Steve? I found a lead on the smugglers. We can't wait on them. Wanna go with?"
She jumped at the chance. "Do we have the Camaro?" Danny nodded. "Oh, I am so IN! Let's hit it, brah!"
Danny thought Kono would make the perfect partner in crime for his surprise present for Steve. She was totally on board with the surprise and knew where to hide the present-her place. It was perfect-Steve never visited her home and Danny had a great excuse to visit there twice a week-Grace's surfing lessons. It would be the perfect solution.
They raced out to the address and, on the way, they followed proper police procedure and called in for back up. The police arrived at the same time Danny and Kono did and the raid went down like clockwork. Danny and Kono busted the smugglers just as they were about to ship out a museum's worth of Hawaiian art, costing millions of dollars. It was awesome! When they got back to 5-0, Chin and Steve were there and in a bit of shock at the junior members of their team being so brave!
Danny walked in with him arm around Kono, laughing. "Did you see the look on that guy's face? He had no clue that charging food to the same address for a week straight and then not for three days and doing it again would raise a red flag with 5-0! It was classic how we went in and busted em! I loved it, Kono! You rock!"
Kono hugged Danny in front of Steve and Chin and said, "We make a great team. Wonder if Bossman would lend me you more often! When we stumbled into that warehouse, kissing and 'looking for a place to have mind-blowing sex' it was reckless, crazy, and insane but they never saw our guns and that was, in your words, 'wicked mint'!"
Danny grinned. "Well, we did make it look convincing. Sorry about the hickey, Kono. We went for authentic a bit too hard."
"Well, now. I see what Steve loves about your kisses. You kiss like a porn star. Hot and dirty!"
When Kono and Danny finally looked up, they saw two things: Chin in shock and Steve looking sick. Danny said, "Um, hi guys. We got the smugglers red-handed. Sorry you weren't there to see it go down. We did, however, call for back up and had four HPD cruisers there. The bust was golden!"
Steve seethed in jealousy. "Danny, my office. NOW!"
