A/N: AHHH I wrote the cutest snippet today, you guys are going to die when you read it. But it's a couple of years away in fic time! I'll just have to get there as soon as I can!

Also when we get to that point, I am 100% giving you guys a playlist on YouTube to help enhance the moments as you read.

Lastly, the second scene in this chapter was born out of a funny comment in Modern Family about Phil hogging 'the' pool jet in the Four Seasons Infinity Pool, so take of it what you will, HAHA! It got pretty intense but surely y'all know to expect that from me by now.

She wasn't ok.

He could see it in her face, even when she thought she was hiding it. Every time she was left alone with her thoughts, a troubled expression appeared on her face. The light in her eyes seemed to have been stolen away, and it killed Will that she was clearly hurting. Yet, in typical Jennifer Jareau fashion, she seemed insistent on keeping it to herself.

Standing in the room, he watched her as she settled back on the lounge out on the balcony, her eyes falling to the beach down below. The sun was slowly sinking down in the sky, and the waves crashing on the beach could be heard easily from where they were.

As he watched her, it was hard to believe everything she had achieved that year, in spite of everything going on. The fervour after the Olympics hadn't really gotten to JJ, as she had turned down the majority of her promotional opportunities. But sitting here, just in front of him, she really was the Olympic all-around champion. It felt like a distant dream; so much had happened since Rio that the medals and accolades she'd earned in Brazil felt like they had occurred in another lifetime. But at the same time, they filled Will with a sense of sadness. She had reached the absolute pinnacle of her sport, had beaten perhaps the most unbeatable athlete in history, and due to the tragic hand she'd been dealt in life, she hadn't even really gotten to enjoy it... and Will supposed she probably never would. Too much had happened. By the time she had had a chance to heal, Rio would just be a memory, and the next great experience would be upon her.

Slowly making his way towards the open door, he stepped out onto the balcony. She never heard him approaching, only turning to face him as he sat down opposite her on the lounge. Giving her a small smile, he reached out, his hand coming to rest on her knee. "You wanna tell me what's goin' through your head?"

JJ sighed, giving him a small smile as she glanced out towards the ocean. "Nothing really. Just taking in the view"

Will followed her line of sight down to where the setting sun was reflecting off the gentle evening waves. A brilliant golden glow was being cast off the surface of the water, seeming to reflect up and dazzle everything it touched. He watched the waves rolling into the shore for a moment, before looking back at his fiancée. "What I mean is, are you ok?"

Avoiding looking at him, JJ sighed. "Yeah... I'm ok"

Will took a deep breath. He didn't want to push her... but he knew what she was like. If she wasn't pushed, she'd never speak. "You wanna try me again?" he asked, his voice carrying some more weight. JJ turned to face him, her expression furrowing into a frown.

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean, JJ," Will said firmly, trying to keep his voice from betraying the glimmer of frustration stirring in his chest. "You've been distant the entire time we've been away. I know you've been through a lot this year, it's perfectly fine if you're not ok, but I need you to talk to me if you're not so I can support you"

JJ shook her head. "I'm fine, Will. I'm just-"

"-tired, I know, you've said that every day," Will cut in.

"Well, maybe you don't need to ask me how I'm doing every day," JJ replied, her eyes narrowing as she straightened up in her seat. "I'm not crazy, I don't need you to check in with me every five minutes"

"I'm not sayin' you're crazy, JJ, I'm sayin' that your dad died and since that happened, you've had the most insane schedule, and it's ok if you're not ok... JJ, I asked you to marry me, and that means for better or for worse, I'm here for you, no matter what. I can tell you're not yourself lately, I just want to make sure you're alright," Will said exasperatedly. JJ rolled her eyes, pulling herself off the lounge and stalking back into the room. Frustrated, Will followed her inside. "Are you going to run away every time you have to deal with somethin'?"

JJ whirled around, her face suddenly rife with anger. "No, Will, I'm not running from anything because I'm fine! Why are you so fixated on this anyway? Stop trying to fix me"

"I'm not tryin' to fix you, JJ, I'm trying to be here for you, but you won't let me. Why are you so combative about this anyway?"

JJ let out a frustrated groan, tearing a hand through her hair. "Just... I don't want to fight with you Will, please just drop it, ok? I'm fine. Really. I'm just... it's been an insane year, and an insane last couple of months and I am exhausted"

"Ok," Will said gently, taking a step towards her. She made no move, allowing him to put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "I just want you to know I'm here for you. Always, any time, any day. Whatever it is... you can always talk to me. I'm never going to judge you, or get upset with you. I love you, and I just want you to be happy"

Letting out a defeated sigh, JJ closed the gap between them, looping her arms around his waist and resting her head against his chest. "I know. I love you too. I'm sorry for being such a bitch this week... I guess I haven't been the best holiday companion"

Will chuckled, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. "Yeah, you're lucky I love you," he teased, earning a small giggle out of JJ. "You haven't been too bad. I know you're tired, and I know it's been a rough year. At least out here, you can relax a bit more than at home"

There was a gentle silence, before JJ spoke up, her voice much smaller than before. "I just... I just need time. I need you to give me time"

Pulling back a little, Will tipped her chin up so she was looking at him, his lips quirking into a loving smile. "I can do that. All the time you need babe... just remember I'm always here"

Backed by the beautiful blue Maui sky that dawned upon them the next day, JJ allowed herself to get lost in the sanctuary of Will's embrace as they stayed wrapped in each other at the edge of the pool. The water was lapping gently against their skin, and she was quite happy to stay exactly where she was. Will's arms were strong around her, his hands on her ass, supporting her weight as she held onto him with her legs looped around his waist.

With her arms looped around his neck, JJ leaned in, capturing his lips in a kiss. He reciprocated easily, his lips soft against hers as they basked together in the warm Hawaiian sun.

When they broke apart, Will brought a hand up out of the water, his fingers gently grazing along her cheekbone as she gave him a warm smile from beneath her sunglasses. Rivulets of water ran slowly down her cheek, dripping from his hand as he touched her. She didn't know how, but even after four years together, he still gave her butterflies... even when her heart was filled with sadness, he managed to make even the tiniest room for love and joy.

She let out a little laugh as he leaned in and caught her in another kiss. This one was longer, with more passion between the two of them, and JJ couldn't help but bring a hand between them to trail slowly down the rippling muscles of his chest. He turned, pressing her up against the infinity edge of the pool, making her gasp softly as her back hit the wall. They broke from the kiss, JJ glancing over his shoulder to see if anyone was watching them. But thankfully, the pool was surprisingly empty, and the few other couples that were around were paying them no mind.

Shooting him a coy smile, she looped a finger through the tie of his shorts, tugging it playfully. "You know... I'm starting to think we might have to head upstairs"

"Oh yeah?" Will said with a smirk, loosening his hold on her. "How about you turn around first and take in the view?"

Giving him a confused look, she did as he asked, obliging when his hands came to her waist and guided her slightly to the left. Just as she was about to ask what he was doing, she felt a strong sensation between her legs, and had to fight not to react too overtly.

"Oh... my god," she breathed, folding her arms on the edge of the pool and dropping her head momentarily. "What are you doing?"

"Gettin' you nice and relaxed," Will chuckled, shielding her body from view as they lazed at the edge.

"You're gonna get us caught," she hissed, letting out a breathless sigh as Will used his body to push her closer to the jet of water.

"Naw... no-one's watchin'. And if anyone is lookin', it just looks like we're lookin' at that beautiful view"

JJ focused on keeping her breathing even and her head up, her eyes fixing on the mountain in the distance as Will's hand came down in front of her. She was thankful that the water came up to their chests, providing a reasonable level of cover for what he was doing to her. She felt one of his fingers hook into the edge of her bikini, gently tugging it to one side and using two other fingers to spread her lips apart, exposing her clit to the stream of water. She gasped softly, biting her lower lip and rocking her hips forward.

"Easy now Jareau," Will murmured in her ear. "Don't wanna draw attention to us, do you?"

"No," she breathed, her eyes falling closed as the waves of pleasure began to increase.

"I bet you can't wait to get back up to the room," Will whispered, his lips brushing her ear. "I'm gonna bury my head between your legs and make you cum until you can't even stand up"

She let out a barely audible whine, which turned into a soft gasp as she crested the edge of the wave, her hips stuttering slightly into Will's touch as she tried to milk out the release. He wrapped his arms around her, hugging her tightly as she came, his body shielding her completely from view momentarily.

"Feel good?" he asked quietly, gently moving them away from the pool jet as JJ caught her breath. She nodded, unable to find her words as he chuckled and pressed a kiss to her temple. She brought a hand up, grasping his forearm for some sort of grounding as she flicked her eyes up towards the gorgeous view once more.

"Come on," Will said softly, pulling away and taking her hand. "I think we have a place to be"

Barely a second after the door had clicked shut behind them, JJ found herself being pressed up against the wall, Will's lips crashing to hers with an urgency she couldn't describe. Their hands scrabbled at each other's bathing suits, her fingers finding the tie of his shorts and tugging it free before he'd even gotten close to the tie of her top. She pushed the waistband down over his hips, completely unsurprised when he came free already hard and wanting for her. He broke the kiss, stepping out of the shorts and kicking them aside as he knelt before her, his hands gripping the waistband of her bikini bottoms.

"Take off your top," he said commandingly as he began to tug the bottoms down her legs. She did as asked, reaching behind her to pull the top free and casting it aside as she stepped out of the bottoms, leaving both of them completely naked, their bodies flushed with arousal. She looked up, realising for the first time that there was a mirror on the closet opposite her. She watched with a shiver of anticipation as Will brought his fingers underneath her right knee, lifting her leg up and propping it over his shoulder. The muscles in his back rippled as he leaned in and began pressing kisses up the inside of her thigh, inching ever so slowly towards where he had promised he would be.

As she watched him, she realised his other arm was moving rhythmically back and forth. A jolt rushed through her belly, going straight down between her legs as she realised he was jerking himself off as he pleasured her.

"You," he whispered, blowing gently on her folds and making her moan, "are so goddamn beautiful"

"Touch me," she breathed, bringing a hand to the back of his head. "Please"

"As promised," he murmured, before bringing his tongue to her folds. She let out a cry as he circled her still sensitive clit, her hips bucking towards his mouth. It was like heaven, hell, and everything in between all mixed into one. He looped the arm holding her leg under and around so he could grasp her hip, holding her securely as his pace quickened and his tongue fluttered against the sensitive little nub.

Having already been turned on from the pool, it didn't take long for JJ to fall over the edge, Will's name spilling from her lips as she went. But he didn't stop, somehow managing to take her straight from the valley back to the edge of the cliff, persisting until it felt like every inch of her body was going to explode.

"Fuck... fuck... please!" she gasped, her fingers tightening in his hair. He let go of himself, adding two fingers into the mix, curling and pushing against her walls as she rose up ever so higher. Just when she thought she couldn't stand it any longer, she climaxed for the second time in minutes, the snap so intense that all she could muster was a breathless gasp, her toes curling against Will's back as she let out a moan.

Next thing she knew, Will had let go of her, and with shaking legs, she had collapsed to the floor, letting out a laugh as she hit the ground.

"I'll take that as a compliment," he smirked, earning another breathless giggle from her. He leaned in, capturing her lips in another bruising kiss, her hand finding its way to his dick. They stayed locked together, passion and heat rising once more, Will struggling to divide his focus as her warm little hand stroked up and down, slowly bringing him closer to the edge.

JJ broke away from the kiss, kissing along his jaw line and down the side of his neck. She paused on his collar bone, lavishing the skin there as she kept her efforts going below his waist. His sharp intake of breath told her she was most definitely on the right path.

"Here... turn around, and sit in my lap," Will said thickly, reaching over and grabbing one of the towels they had discarded on the way in. JJ obliged, managing to manoeuvre her shaky legs until she was sitting in Will's lap, her back to his chest, her legs tucked either side of his. She watched as he positioned the towel on the floor beneath them, tucked away between his legs.

"What are you doing?" she asked softly.

"If this position works how it's supposed to, we're gonna need it," Will said huskily, nipping at her earlobe with his teeth at the same moment that he pressed into her wet heat, eliciting a loud gasp from her. He began to rock slowly at first, his arms wrapped securely around her to keep her back pressed flush against him. She tipped her head back onto his shoulder, her mouth open in a silent moan as he dove for the exposed skin on her neck. She managed to sling an arm around behind her, grasping the back of his head as he lavished her neck, nipping and kissing at the sweet spot just below her ear. His hands roamed across her body as they moved, one coming to cup her breast, the other gliding down between her legs. When his fingers reached her clit, she let out a cry, bucking her hips towards his touch and making him stutter at the increased stimulation.

"Fuck, Jayje, you're so fucking wet," Will growled, increasing the pace of his thrusts and making the angle a little more shallow. It had the desired effect; JJ groaned loudly, her grip on the back of his head tightening as he hit her G-spot, stimulating it over and over. Her whole body was humming, and it felt so good, but at the same time, she desperately needed to cum.

"You're almost there," Will said quietly through ragged breaths. "I can feel you... you're getting tighter around me... it's how I know you're close"

"Oh, fuck, fuck," JJ cried, her toes curling, her thighs clenching as he thrust purposefully into her again and again, refusing to stop his pace.

And then the string snapped once again, sending her crashing through the wave with a scream that made Will hastily cover her mouth with his hand. There was a gush between their legs, soaking Will's balls, and the towel, making him grateful that he'd put it down. Helped along by JJ's walls contracting around him, he followed suit just moments later, burying his face into the crook of her neck and letting out a loud groan as he pumped his hips through the climax, emptying himself deep inside her.

Breathless and sweaty, they both went limp, JJ collapsing against his strong frame as her chest heaved with the effort to catch her breath. Equally as spent, Will pressed a kiss to her forehead, slipping out of her but making no move to shift from their current position.

"I don't know how you do that," JJ said breathlessly, tipping her head so she could see his face, "but fucking hell, please don't ever stop"

Will laughed, kissing her temple and wrapping his arms around her in a tight hug. "I think I can manage that"
