First of all if you want to pass custom property to next step then you have to customize the current and next step (if you can it as process step). As of now i can think of one approach by setting up value in meatdata of next route as below in your execute method (if there is only one next step not with "and" or "or" condition otherwise you have to use id or name to find out next step).
first step
List<Route> routes = session.getRoutes(item)
Route route=routes.get(0);
route.getDestinations().get(0).getMetaDataMap().put("key", value)
session.complete(item,route);
destination step
MetaDataMap map=item.getWorkflowData().getMetaDataMap();
map.get("key");
You can try once to check if it works else check through session. Let me know if it doesnt' work for you.
