Chapter 2

Pleasantly the beach wasn't packed for a Saturday afternoon, Riker and Laura made their way there after their shower and of course one more round in bed, Riker was insatiable when it came to her, but she was the same way. But deciding that maybe they were becoming nymphos they decided that Laura's idea of the beach sounded great, so they got out of bed and now here they are. Riker was setting up the umbrella while Laura was spreading out the blanket. It was definitely the right day to come out to the beach, the sun was out and it wasn't too hot yet. Laura smiled as she looked at Riker. She still couldn't get over the fact that he was hers.

"You know if you keep looking at me like that I am going to have to drag you back to the apartment and back to bed."

"Like you really would have an issue with that?" Laura asked.

"Hell no in fact that is a great Idea if I say so, so let's go." Riker whispered into her ear as he sat next to her. The feel of his voice send shivers down her spine.

Damn that man and his power over her. Laura almost relented and almost dragged him back, but as much as she loves Sex with Riker she also didn't want their entire relationship to be only physical.

"Riker, let's just enjoy the beach and the lovely weather and we shall see about later." Laura said as she looked over at him, the look in his eyes told her that it was more than just a physical thing for him too, and that brought a smile to her face. Placing a chaste kiss on his lips, Laura went to reach for the sunblock.

"Let me get that for you." Riker said as he took it from Laura and went to dab some on his hand before rubbing it on Laura's back. He couldn't help it. It seemed like he always had to touch her, but to Riker Laura was the most gorgeous girl has ever seen, he couldn't help but touch her.

She was sexy as hell, and she was all his. Riker has been with a couple girls, not many but a couple and he has never felt for them like he has for Laura. Just the sight of her takes his breath away. They have only been officially together for an over a month and a half but he could honestly say that he is in love with her. Now Riker is a confident man and he is sure for his love for Laura but he hasn't said the words to her just yet.

Were they ready for that step yet? Riker snorts, thinking to himself that it is funny how he asks if they are ready for that I love you step, when they are sexing each other up like bunnies. Being physical was in a way easier then emotional, because he knows that they fit perfectly when they make love, it was like their bodies were created for one another. Riker loves the feeling of when she is in his arms, he loves how she is so much smaller than him, and it was like he was there to protect her. And he would do it in a heartbeat. There was no way in hell he would let any hurt come her way.

"Are you okay?" Laura asked, Riker was quiet.

"Yeah I am fine, just thinking how lucky I am to have you." Riker answered placing a small kiss on Laura's right shoulder.

"I am pretty lucky too you know?" Laura answered.

Riker smiled. "Why don't you go collect some shells in the water, I know your into that thing. I will join you later I am contemplating going surfing."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah sure, go have fun I will be right here if not I will see you in the water." Riker replied giving her another kiss. What? She was irresistible.

Laura smiled. She got up and started to run towards the water. The sight was just adorable to Riker. God how he loved her. In that second he knew that he was going to tell her today that he loved her. Why put off something that was meant to be? There was nothing really holding him back from telling her his feelings. He wasn't afraid of rejection, not to sound cocky or anything he could tell that Laura may feel the same way about him; she would always stare and look at him, like if he was the most important thing to her. This made him love her even more. So it wasn't rejection that was holding him back.

And it wasn't the age difference. There was really only three years between them, she was 17 and he was 20, Love really didn't have an age to it so that wasn't it.

Riker knew what was holding him back.

It was Ross and his reaction to finding out that his oldest brother was in love with his costar. A costar that Riker was pretty sure that Ross had a crush on.

Now that sounds horrible doesn't it? Riker getting together with someone that he thinks his brother has a crush on. But Ross kept denying it every time that Riker would bring it up. Saying they were only friends and costars and nothing more.

Riker wasn't going to lie. He had been fishing info from Ross to see if he cared more for Laura then he was letting on because Riker fell for her the second that he laid eyes on her. Riker was making sure it was clear before he made his move on her. And at the beginning he wasn't sure if he would, because of the whole Ross thing. Because Ross had a tendency to try and hide his real emotions so he wouldn't get hurt.

But Ross had made it abundantly clear that he wasn't interested in that way. And When Ross would call from Puerto Rico sounding all love struck about his costar Maia that was when Riker threw caution to the wind.

That was the night he stayed over after helping Laura move into her new place. The night he kissed her for the first time. Just the thought brought a smile to his face.

Riker knew he should have been upfront with Ross about his feelings with Laura but at the same time did Ross run by him all the girls he had a crush on Glee? And why should Ross have the power over his relationship with Laura? If Ross wanted her he should have already made his move. Because if had to be honest there was no way in hell that Riker would give up his relationship just to please Ross if that is what he wanted. Plus Ross had that Maia girl so he should be happy for Riker and Laura right?

Right. If Ross wanted Laura he would have made a move by now, and he hadn't so it was his loss.

Ugh. Enough of this drama in his head, Riker needed some air and some water, Surfing usually helps calm him and that is what he needed to do. Getting up Riker grabbed his wet suit from the bag, and headed to the surf shop to rent a board since his was at his hose. He needed to catch some waves to clear his mind.

Laura was bored from collecting shells, she was hoping that Riker would have joined her by now, but he sat on the blanket for quite a while before going surfing. She hoped everything was alright; she hated to see Riker upset about anything. Because honestly Riker was hardly ever upset about anything, he was a happy go lucky kind of guy which meant if he was upset then something big must have happened to cause him to be upset.

They have been at the beach for hours now as the sun was about to set and she couldn't wait to just go home and chill with Riker. It was funny ever since she got her own place; it felt more like their own place as Riker spent every night over there. And if she was honest with herself she kinda liked it. No she takes that back, there is no kinda she loves it. She loves going to sleep in his arms and waking up in them. To feel his body next to hers was something she loved and she wasn't sure if she could go back to sleeping alone.

Ugh she really has got to stop this.

Laura made her way back to the spot she and Riker set up and was waiting for him. Whatever was wrong she hope he would be alright?

As she was starting to get worried about were Riker was at, she found him running out of the ocean carrying the board and she let out a sigh of relief.

Riker smiled when his eyes landed on Laura. Being out in the water was what he needed. Because no matter what came their way he knew for a fact that he was in love with the woman that was in front of him and he was going to fight whoever had a problem with their relationship to keep her. She was his and he was hers. That was all that was to it.

"Hey ready to go home?" Laura asked.

Riker smiled. "Yeah never more ready in my life, let's go home. Laura and Riker then packed up their things and dropped the board back at the shop and went home. As they made their way back, Riker pulled Laura to him wrapping his arms around her and placed a kiss to the side of her head, Laura giggled

"What's that for?"

"What I can't kiss the girl that I love for any reason at all?"

Laura froze when she heard those words leave his mouth. Riker was scared for a second before he felt her lips on his. He smiled during the kiss. He got his answer.

Laura pulled back and smiled, I love you too." Riker grabbed her and spinned her around letting out the biggest scream of joy she has heard from him so far, laughing at how they look but not caring at all, dropping their things on the ground they will get tomorrow, all they want to do it be together. Riker kissed Laura long and hard as he was trying to open the front door, finally getting it open, the two almost fall on the ground until Riker held on to the all and held on to her, shutting the door not caring that is was more of a slam. They just said I love you for the first time it was something to celebrate. And celebrate they did alright, clothes coming off and realizing the bed was too far away, Riker pushed Laura against the wall and they made love against everything that night. The only noise you could hear was the joining of their body's and with each thrust it became a little louder. And between the moans and groans came the whispers of love. The two lovers just embracing each other and not having a care in the world but just each other's pleasure. Finally after what seemed many hours the two collapsed into each other's arms as their orgasms claimed them, they fell asleep in one another's arms.

Hours later Riker woke first, he looked down at the woman in his arms and a smile again graces his face. Last night was amazing. They said their love for one another and they came home to celebrate and celebrate they did. His body aches from it, but man it was worth it. Carefully getting up Riker moved Laura to the couch and place a blanket over her, placing a kiss on her forehead he wanted to get in a quick shower before he got started on his plans for the day. It was funny this place felt more like his home then the one he shares with his family, and he knew the reason was because of Laura. He loved being able to be with her every night, and not just for the sex, because that was incredible but just to be with her to talk, to laugh just to be in the same room and not even having to say anything. He knew this is what he wanted.

Would Laura mind if he just moved in? Sure it may have been fast they have only been dating a few months but when it is right why wait?

After getting out of the shower Riker quickly dressed and as he made his way out to the living room, Laura was waking up.

"Hey There were you going?"

"I have to get a few things from my house, and I will be back. Hey Laura do you think we could talk when I get back? There is something I want to see what you think about?" Riker asked.

Laura looked up at Riker kind of scared of what he wanted to talk about but noticing the look of love in his eyes Laura knew it wasn't something bad.

"Sure. Love you see you when you get back."

"Love You Too. I will be back soon." Riker placed a kiss on her head and walked out the door. The quicker he left the quicker he can get back.
