Pairing: Ross/Laura/Riker

Author's Note: "Crazy 4 U" by Ross Lynch & R5

SP*SP*SP

His bed creaks as he continues thrusting against Laura's sweetly responding body. Ross isn't surprised by the almost inaudible sound – he's been expecting it. It's been over a month since he'd started this new activity with the brunette, and… Well, it wasn't like he was actually in her, so he could be as rough as he wanted.

The only thing new about this session: he'd tied her wrists with a silk scarf to his headboard. It left his hands free, which was exactly what he wanted. He wanted to be able to touch her completely. Let's face it – they were going to have sex eventually, so why should he wait to get her used to his hands on her fully.

Laura released a sharp gasp as Ross used one hand to tangle in her long hair, gently jerking her head back to expose her neck. It was a vulnerable position, like a deer presenting the perfect target to a hungry mountain lion. Considering the situation, she supposed that was an accurate metaphor.

Using his other hand, he grabbed her thigh and spread her legs wider, which also angled her hips just right. His boxer-covered cock continued to rub rhythmically against her clit, and she was ashamed when her toes curled in pleasure.

Ross leaned down and nipped at her earlobe. "Fuck," he whispered heatedly. Her back arched as his hot breath slid along her neck. "Can you imagine me inside you, Laura? You'd feel so good and wet for me, I'd slide right in."

To add emphasis, he ground against her core in a particularly hard thrust. Eyes clenched shut, she grit her teeth to keep from moaning at how amazing that felt. Her fantasy of Riker doing this to her had been shattered when Ross spoke, and she was having a difficult time going back to it.

Suddenly, he stopped. Both were panting from their activities, but Laura was confused. He'd never stopped in the middle of their 'sessions' before, so… Why now? She was almost afraid to open her eyes to find out.

Doe-like orbs snapped open in the next second, however, when the blonde moved off her long enough to flip her onto her knees. Since her hands were tied, she had no choice but to grip the headboard to brace herself.

Ross slid his toned body along her back until his mouth was next to her ear again. "Don't worry, baby – I promise you'll enjoy this."

Enjoy what? She thought, panicking.

The brunette got her answer in the form of her bra being unclasped and falling loose within her direct line of view. His hands then widened her thighs almost ridiculously as he fit his pelvis snuggly against her rear.

She couldn't help the startled squeak she released when she felt his cock between her legs once more. At this angle, the head practically had a direct route to her clit; she knew he would rub against it with each thrust.

"Oh fuck, yeah," Ross breathed out, taking a few experimental rocks. Her hands tightened on the headboard as her body reacted. "This is definitely going to feel good."

When he thrust against her next, she had to brace her arms to keep from colliding with the hard surface in front of her. Her fingers turned white from the force she used, but it wasn't because of the new position.

His fingers, slightly calloused from strumming his guitar, were pinching one of her nipples. He'd never touched her there before – not once – and now, with that form of stimulation, and his constant thrusts against her clit sent Laura over the edge.

Ross loved the way she stiffened when she had an orgasm. Her petite body trembled just the slightest bit, her cheeks flushed cutely, and her sheer expression was pure sex. The thought alone was almost enough to send him into nirvana, but he wasn't done with her yet.

No, his goal for this session was to get her to orgasm at least two more times. He wanted her to remember the way he could draw pleasure from her body, no matter how mentally reluctant she was.

SP*SP*SP

Laura motionlessly stood under the hot, pounding water. She hoped she could erase everything that just happened with Ross – her best friend – but knew it wouldn't help. It could only distract her from reliving his touch for a short time; nothing but a temporary fix.

Sighing, she turned the faucet until the shower turned off. Although she wanted to forget, she couldn't waste all of the hot water. Other people needed to shower, too, and she needed to get back to bed soon.

And I need to trash my underwear, she added, thinking about it. Sure, she did her own laundry, but there was just no use saving the silky garment. Ross had made sure it had been soaked with her numerous orgasms before finally letting her leave his bed.

Grabbing her towel, Laura dried off quickly before slipping on a new pair of underwear, a plain red T-shirt and a pair of dark blue cotton shorts that had Hollister printed across her butt in white.

Feeling better – more herself – she exited the steamy bathroom. However, what she didn't expect was to collide with someone right outside the door.

Arms wrapped around her small frame, and she froze. "Laura?" Riker's semi-alarmed voice whispered, not wanting to wake anyone else up. "Why are you taking a bath now?"

"Um, well," she stammered lightly. "I had… I had a nightmare."

"A nightmare?"

Laura nodded, becoming more confident in her lie. She hated doing it, especially with Riker, but she couldn't exactly explain what she'd been doing with Ross for over a year, let alone that night.

"Yeah, I had this really bad dream. I couldn't shake it, so I thought a shower would help calm me down."

Riker hugged her close, his warmth enveloping her securely. She breathed in his comforting scent, wishing she could carry it with her wherever she went. "You should have come straight to me. I would've held you until you felt better."

"I thought you didn't like being woken up?" she teased. Wrapping her arms around his waist, she rested her chin on his chest to look straight up at him.

He pecked her on the lips, smiling. "If it's you, I don't mind." Releasing her, he stepped towards the bathroom. "Wait here. I'll be out in two minutes, then we'll go lie down in my room, okay?"

"Okay," she whispered.

When he came out at the promised time, he was fanning himself with his hand. "That must have been some dream, babe," he said in concern. "It's practically a sauna in there, and I wasn't inside for very long."

Laura felt her cheeks flush the tiniest bit. "Sorry," she muttered, embarrassed. "It was really… graphic." An understatement.

Riker grasped her smaller hand into his own. He gave her an encouraging smile. "Don't worry. You don't need to think about it anymore. It's just a dream – it can't hurt you."

If only that were true, she thought in remorse. Instead of expressing her inner musings, she nodded. "You're right. I shouldn't let a night terror rule my sleeping habits. Thanks, Riker."

"You're welcome. Now, come on. We still have a few hours before we have to get up."

SP*SP*SP

As R5 practiced for an upcoming show, Laura scrolled through her email before she had to leave for a modeling job she'd accepted at one of the studios she had previously worked at. She had also accepted a couple of international gigs, but those took longer to arrange.

"Sound check," Rocky announced, testing the microphones they would be using. "Sound check. One, two, three… Checking, one, two, three... Hey, Laura!"

Laura slightly jumped at the brunette's exclamation, nearly dropping Rydel's laptop in the process. When everyone started laughing, she pouted.

"You're so mean," she whined. "All of you are."

Riker plopped down next to her, still chuckling. "Sorry, but we couldn't resist," he explained. "You were concentrating so hard, we had to get your attention somehow."

She scooted as far away from him as possible. "For what?"

He easily dragged her back to him, going so far as to yank her into his lap. Not that she resisted; she loved it when he manhandled her a little. "We want your opinion on this new song we finished last night."

"Okay, fine," she acquiesced, sighing in mock-exasperation. "Let's hear what you guys came up with."

"Awesome." Riker kissed her cheek before settling her back onto the couch cushion so he could stand and take his place on stage. "This is called Crazy 4 U."

Laura smiled at the title. It was cute and suited R5 perfectly.

Crazy 4 U:

"I played it safe
I kept my foot up on the brake
I never really took a chance in life
and didn't live for today.
Oh girl, and then I met you

Opened my eyes to something new.
You know set me free like
No one else
and got me actin' a fool."

She bopped her head lightly to the beat, grinning as everyone performed and generally had a good time on stage. Anyone who watched and listened to them instantly knew they were born to be in the entertainment business. They sounded absolutely amazing.

"Don't you know changed my life,
Girl cause now I'm livin'
And it feels so right, yeahh

You got my heart beat pumpin'
And its going insane
you got me jumpin outta aeroplanes
And that's why...
I'm crazy its true
Crazy 4 U

You got me base jump livin'
and i can't look down
You know you short circuit my brain
I can't lie...
I'm crazy its true
Crazy 4 U"

When Ross started singing, Laura felt herself freeze as they made eye contact. If she didn't know better, she'd think he was singing the lyrics directly at her. But that couldn't be possible. Didn't he just want attention from her? The wrong type of attention, but whatever – she'd thought all of it before.

Discreetly swallowing to hide her reaction, she refocused on the rest of R5, mainly Riker. She smiled when he winked at her.

"Midnight dipping in the pool,
Or sneaking out up on the roof
You're unpredictable and girl that's what
that's what I love about you

Don't you know you changed my life girl cause now I'm livin'
And it feels so right
yeah

You got my heart beat pumpin'
And its going insane
you got me jumpin outta aeroplanes
And that's why...
I'm crazy its true
Crazy 4 U

You got me base jump livin'
and i can't look down
You know you short circuit my brain
I can't lie...
I'm crazy its true
Crazy 4 U"

Again, she found her attention shifting to Ross as he sung. His eyes hadn't once left her form, and it wasn't like he would be caught staring. He stood in front of everyone, basically right in front of her face, almost. For all anyone else knew, his eyes were closed as he concentrated on the lyrics.

Then, Ross smirked sexily at her. Her heart skipped a couple of beats in trepidation. Oh God, what did that look mean? She wondered, nearly hysterical.

"No I didn't lose my mind when I fell for you
(Without a parachute)
And I'm gonna love you girl like you never knew (whoa)

Don't you know you changed my life
Girl cause now I'm living
And it feels so right
Yeah..."

From his perspective, Ross enjoyed the way Laura's emotions were flashing through her doe-like eyes. Thankfully, he was the closest to her, so he was the only one able to read what she felt. He especially liked the way her orbs darkened when he smirked at her.

After last night's session, he'd wanted nothing more than to actually sink his cock inside her heat. She would've been more than ready for him, too – he'd made sure of that. However, now hadn't been the best time to savor her, in that way.

No, not quite yet. He still had a lot in store for her; a lot to teach her when it came to their special relationship. Ross was determined to save the 'final act' for a very momentous occasion.

"You got my heart beat pumpin'
And its going insane
you got me jumpin outta aeroplanes
And that's why...
I'm crazy its true
Crazy 4 U

You got me base jump livin'
and i can't look down
You know you short circuit my brain
I can't lie...
I'm crazy its true
Crazy 4 U

I'm crazy its true
Crazy 4 U"

By the end of the song, Laura was breathing normally again and her attention was firmly on anyone that wasn't Ross Lynch. The dark promise in his eyes had unsettled her in the worst way, and she felt like she needed another shower.

And all this from a look.

"Well, what did you think?" Riker asked, making sure his voice didn't carry through the microphone.

Laura jumped to her feet, clapping enthusiastically. "It was awesome!" she cheered. "Guys, that was amazing! You have to perform that song this weekend at your show."

"We were considering it," Rydel replied, beaming. "We just had to test it out on an audience first."

"And that was you," Ratliff announced through his microphone, drum stick pointing at Laura.

She bounced on the balls of her feet. "I feel so honored," she gushed. "I swear I'm, like, your guys' biggest fan! You guys rock!"

"Thanks, babe," Riker said, putting his bass down to hop off the make-shift stage. "But, we better get going. You have a photo shoot to get to, right?"

"Do I have to go now?" she whined, bottom lip poking out. "I want to hear some more."

Ross offered, "We'll put on a private concert for you, okay, Laura? When you get back." His smile was his usual happy one, but the brunette could still see how his normally chocolate eyes were dark.

"Yeah, okay," she replied, not allowing a single hint of hesitation to enter her voice or tone. She waved at the remainder of R5 since Riker would be driving her to work. "Bye for now!"

They responded in kind, in their own way, then she and Riker were gone.

SP*SP*SP

After spending the day having her photos taken in countless outfits, having a lunch date with Riker, taking more pictures for the magazine spread she was doing, having a relaxing dinner with the Lynch family and Ratliff, then watching the private concert promised to her, Laura would say that it had been one of the best days of her life.

The end to such a glorious day came in her favorite form: Her and Riker. Naked. In his bed.

Fingers tangled in blonde locks, Laura bit her lip to keep from moaning out loud as her boyfriend continued to nip, suck, and finger her soaked entrance. "God, Riker," she whimpered. "Please… I need you. God, I need you so bad."

"How do you need me, babe?" he teasingly replied, eyes connecting with hers. Adding a second finger, he enjoyed the way she arched her back, breasts on perfect display for his hungry gaze.

She panted, a thin sheen of sweat coating her entire body. "Oh God, don't tease me like that."

Riker sat up. Using his free hand, he made sure she was fully exposed as he watched his digits thrust in and out of her. He loved the way her hands now clenched the sheets beneath her, though he'd have to change them afterwards. His girlfriend always got so wet for him.

Daringly, he wiggled a third finger into her. He grinned when she sucked in a sharp gasp, body practically bowing in half.

"You still didn't answer me," he murmured, smirking. "How do you need me, Laura?"

"God, you drive me crazy," she sourly muttered. Lifting her hips, she tried to get the angle she needed from his thrusting fingers to push her over the edge. She literally growled when he pulled his hand away completely.

She watched, transfixed, as he brought his glistening fingers to his mouth. He licked one completely clean, humming in approval at her taste.

Riker smirked, knowing how well that gesture turned her on. "I'll be nice – this time. Get on your knees and grab the headboard," he said.

Laura immediately got into position, despite what happened the previous night. It was okay, though, because she knew this was Riker – her Riker, not the imaginary one.

A thrill danced up and down her spine as she felt him position himself at her entrance. God, she loved being on birth control for moments like this, when they were skin-to-skin. It felt so much better than using a condom.

"Here, I want you to taste yourself," he whispered huskily. Bringing up his fingers, she instantly clasped her lips around the still-glistening digits, sucking wantonly. "God, I love the way you use your tongue."

She hummed in pure pleasure when she felt his free hand trail down the front of her body, stopping at her clit. She knew what that meant – it was going to a rough night. But she was eager and ready for anything he dished out.

"By the way, baby… You drive me crazy, too." With that, he entered her in one smooth, practiced stroke, and her world exploded in pleasure.
