JJ's biggest flaw was his recklessness, and his bad ideas. Honestly, that didn't seem that bad to Bexley.
Rafe's biggest flaw? Jealousy. Pure, uncontrolled jealousy.

a/n: they'll only be in Hawaii about one more chapter, sorry if it seems dragged on. Aka, the pogues will be coming back soon. Like I said, I originally only had 30 chapters planned for this story, so I'm sorry that some mysteries (like the safe, Madelyn's kidnapping, John b's dad) have taken so long to be resolved. They'll be answered by the end of this season
tw: smut ,, just a warning this chapter contains past trauma and Rafe having very inappropriate and wrong responses to it

She missed home.
She missed her house on The Cut. She never thought she would, but she did. Especially while laying down on the warm Hawaiian beach. Rafe was next to her, she curled up with him. It reminded her of the times they slept out at the beach by her house.
The sand was so warm. She was at peace here, so why did she still yearn to return home at all?
It's not like anyone was there waiting for her anymore.
Rafe stirred behind her. He had fallen asleep, but woke when she sat up. He rubbed his eyes, and asked her, "You going swimming?"
She smiled. "Maybe." The water was warm at this time of day. She felt him pull at her bikini top string. "Hey," she complained playfully, fixing it.
"You could go skinny dipping," he suggested. He sat up with her. "Actually, we both could."
"Absolutely not," she laughed.
"It's secluded," he pointed out. She knew he was right. After a month on the island they'd been able to find an empty spot, surrounded by cliffs that kept them from view of everyone else. She felt his hand over her back again. "You know that no one would see us."
"I'm not having sex with you on a public beach," she told him.
"Woah," Rafe laughed. "I didn't say anything about sex."
She eyed him. "And what are you gonna wanna do once we're both naked?"
He smirked at her. Leaning forward, he placed a kiss on her shoulder blade. "Whatever you want to do."
She could feel his warm chest against her back.
She pushed him away with a laugh. Then after a moment, she casually brought, "It's not like this is a private beach. I mean...not like the beach back at my house."
He snorted. "Yeah. This sand isn't just dirt and glass."
"We could fool around at my house," she said, still trying to be casual. "Not here."
"Why?"
She rolled her eyes. "It's public here."
Rafe sat closer. "You've never wanted to fuck in public?"
