Jacks POV
Sure Riddick and I left in a hurry but I'm sure it was because of the mercs that would be showing up at any time. In all actuality I had planned on leaving soon anyway and that was the real reason why my bags had already been packed. I really hadn't expected to be leaving with anyone in particular. It was one of those things that just happened. I really didn't believe in fate but there was some force that made me want to leave soon and it was the perfect timing that Riddick happened to show back up into my life and "sweep me off my feet" as the old earth saying goes.
In all honesty it was one hell of a shock to see Riddick standing in my bedroom just a few hours ago but my dream had finally come true. I didn't expect him to look as good as he did but he looks just like when he did when I last saw him. He still had his bald head, and the muscled build but his eyes were different. Why hadn't I noticed that before? In stead of the silver mercury, his eyes were a light sky blue. His facial features were the same. That of a Greek god chiseled out of the firmest clay that has ever existed.
"Riddick why are your eyes blue instead of the shine? There's no way it can be reversed."
"Contacts, kid. Now don't say my name until we are out of here alright?"
"Got it."
For the rest of the trip to the ship I stayed quiet just marveling and how powerful he was. My bags were heavy and filled with everything that I owned that filled my bedroom and bathroom. For the life of me I couldn't think of really anything that would make us leave so fast but as the hatch hissed closed behind us I figured it had to be the mercs. It was always the Mercs.
Riddick's POV
When she said my name the way she had I could have sworn a shiver ran up my spine. Amazingly I remained impassive and answered her question. When we got to the ship I set her stuff on the floor of the cargo hold and walked into the bridge. I sat in the pilot's seat. Jack sat in the chair next to mine so that we could take off. I already had clearance to leave so I turned on the engine and we lifted off and out of the atmosphere. We were back into the darkness of space as I set a course to somewhere far away from where we were then put it on auto pilot. When I looked over at her she was sleeping in the chair but it wasn't as peaceful as most people would have thought. Her face was scrunched up and her eyes were moving a mile a minute.
As carefully as I could I took off the harness holding her to the seat and picked her up. For the second time in two hours I had her in my arms and I also noticed that she fit perfectly. I walked back to the cabin and laid her down on the only bed that was on the ship. I never really used it so her being with me it'd get some usage. Once I knew that she'd stay sleeping I went and got her bags. They were heavy but I picked up heavier after all.
Softly I set down her bags and went into the little kitchen and got a beer. I took a swallow trying to regain the control that was rapidly slipping away. I really didn't expect for Jack to come along with me and now that she had it just makes me rethink my choice of letting her come. She's definitely not the kid I remember leaving behind ten years ago. For one she had hair and long at that and two she certainly filled out in all the right places. Wait what the hell am I thinking. She is just a kid. I have to remember that she is just a kid. Well if she was still a kid she'd be like I remember. No she's definitely not a kid. Jack is a beautiful woman now. Even if she is covered in scars from the underground cage fights she's still beautiful.
I listened for any noise that may be out of the ordinary but all I heard was the steady breathing from myself and coming from the cabin down the hall. All was calm but I knew it wouldn't stay that way for long. A Merc would find me and we'd have to fight for our lives, or her underground enemies would come looking for her to settle a score for a lost fight or something else that they may have lost. Jack's breathing became irregular and whimpering ensued. If it weren't for my enhanced scenes I would have never heard it. Slowly I set down the empty beer bottle and walked down towards the cabin. The door hissed open and there she lay curled in a ball shacking. She sat up quickly and looked straight at me.
Jacks POV
It was such a horrible dream. I dreamt that I was on T2 again and this time Riddick had left me there but instead of the monsters that were there it was all the people that were after me. As frightening as it may have seemed it was worse because Riddick was the one person that could have saved me and didn't. In the dream Carolyn didn't die and she was the one that wanted to kill me the most it seemed. I woke myself up but it just didn't seem to end. It was dark and I didn't know where in the hell I was and there in the door way of the room I happened to be in was Riddick. I really didn't know what was going on. I quickly sat next to the wall with my arms wrapped around my legs holding them to my chest. I sat there shaking trying to regain my composure. After a few minutes my breathing became normal but I stayed where I was, not looking at him or at anything else in the room. He came and sat beside me since the bed shifted under his weight.
"Jack you have to know I'm not going to hurt you."
"I…know…"
"You aren't telling the truth and we both know that. Want to tell me what's going on?"
"No…"
"Jack something is obviously bothering you and I can't help if you don't tell me."
"You wouldn't understand…"
"Well if you tell me maybe I would understand because right now you're scared to death of me and I don't want you to be. I didn't come back for you just to have you scared of me."
"Then why did you come back for me?"
"Can't I do something nice once in a while?"
"Not without an ulterior motive."
"So you don't trust me. Jack what the hell happened to you after I left?"
"Let's see…almost got gang banged until the cops showed up. The cutting just so that I could feel pain and know that I was alive. Then all the fights I got into at school…I never really was one to stay put for very long and I just don't know what to make of all of this."
"What can't you make out of it? You're safe and if I remember right you used to idolize me."
"That was then…this is now."
"And what about all the pictured and clippings of me hanging in your room?"
"Just a childhood infatuation Riddick…So don't flatter yourself too much."
Since he was sitting across the bed with his legs stretched out, I uncurled myself and laid my head on his lap. I was just like I had done when I was younger when we had gotten off that dreadful planet. He stroked my hair and for once I enjoyed it when a man touched me.
"When did you decide to grow your hair out?"
"Well it was either that or get stuck inside all the time so I grew it out. I like it though."
"What color is it?"
"You still can't see color? Even with your contacts?"
"Some but not all."
"Well it's a really dark brown almost black. Imam says it fits with how I am now."
"It does."
I felt his eyes on me and it made me shiver.
"Kid you definitely have grown."
"I'll take that as a compliment?"
"Take it how you want kid. Well I guess you're not a kid anymore huh?"
"Nope….definitely not a kid anymore."
"Well since that is covered do you mind getting off my lap now?"
"I mind since I'm comfy."
"I have to check on our destination."
"You don't have to check right this minute. Just wait until I fall asleep please?"
"Jack…"
"Please Riddick. Just until I fall asleep."
"Fine, just until you fall asleep."
"Thank you Riddick."
Riddick's POV
It was about a half an hour later before she fell asleep again. She drew designs on my hand before her eyes closed and her breathing became even. To not wake her up I moved quietly and left the cabin. I did everything that I possibly could so that I didn't have to think about how she fit. All I wanted to do was go back in there and hold her and make all of her fears and pain disappear. When I had seen her in the cage fighting those men I wanted to take her away even if I didn't know that she was really Jack. Now here we are. She's sleeping on my ship, in my bed. Hell in my mind she was mine and I was just keeping her away from those who wanted to hurt her. When I set my mind to something I do it no matter the cost. I wasn't going to let anything happen to her again.
Gods I need to stop thinking about her. It's never enough though. Great I must be some kind of perverted old man because all I can think about is her. Everything is all about her. I swear it is going to drive me insane. Maybe I shouldn't have brought her with me. I think either way I wouldn't have been able to stop thinking about her. What a fucking mess. This is definitely not going to go well. Not without one of us losing our cool. If anything happens it won't be because I initiated it.
If everything goes as planned we'll be out of the hellion system in a couple days and we'll be on our way to a different system. A system that anyone including an escaped convict, can start over. So that's where we were headed. I guess it was a new beginning for the both of us.
Jacks POV
I didn't know how long I had been sleeping but I woke up fully rested. I felt like a new woman. Getting up out of bed I stretched and rolled over to the side where is got up and walked into what looked like a kitchen. I smelled coffee and some sort of food, my mouth watered and all I wanted to do was eat it all. Riddick walked up behind me and tapped my shoulder. I jumped a bit forgetting where I was for the second time in only a few hours. I turned around and smiled a bit.
"You look hungry."
"I am hungry. Why do you think I look it?"
"Well then why don't you get something to eat? There is plenty there so have at it."
"Well aren't you just charming? Thanks for staying with me last night."
"Don't make it a habit."
"Aye-Aye Captian."
"Don't' be smart with me kid."
"Don't call me kid."
"And who are you to order me about?"
"And I could ask you the same question Riddick. You aren't my father or my mother or any other parental unit that may tell me what to do or not to do. Not even Imam was able to do that. So take a number and stand in line."
"You are very mouthy kid and it best stop or you're going to find yourself in a world of hurt."
"Do you really think that I care about being in pain? I revel in pain since it is the only way to truly know that you are alive. So again I say take a number and stand in line. I have more people wanting to take my life rather than help me. So do your worst Monsieur Riddick."
"Did you just give me a formal French title?"
"Wee. I did."
"Stop speaking French."
"How about not? It's so much fun to watch you squirm."
"Well then watch this…"
Before I could even think he had me pinned to the counter and his eyes boring down into mine. He pressed himself into me and I felt every single one of his muscles ripple through his tight shirt. My breath caught in my throat and he moved his face more towards mine. Ever so softly his lips touched mine. My head was spinning. The only thought going through my brain was, oh my fucking god he's kissing me. Whatever distance that kept us from being fully together he closed it and wrapped his well toned arms around my waist. He traced my lips with his tongue. Moaning into his lips my own slipped open letting his explore. Before anything else could happen he drew away from me and I my breathing was slightly erratic.
"How's that for squirming?"
"Well…that's…that's squirmy."
What the hell was that? Why in the hell did that happen? Just what the hell happened? I have to get out of here. I left the kitchen fast and went past the cabin and into the first door that was there. A bathroom how wonderful. I skipped that door and went to the next. A gym. Sweet ass man. He's not totally hopeless after all. I locked the door well at least from the inside and decided to see what I could do in here. I found tape and taped up my hands then went over to the control panel and looked for any type of music. He had all the heavy metal, hard rock stuff. It must have been a bad ass thing because it was the same stuff that I listened to. I turned it on and made it so it flowed throughout the entire ship. Between beating the shit out of the bag and doing some other exercise routines my frustration deflated and I was left with a type of hollow emptiness.
Slumping against the wall on the far end of the fairly large gym I sat there thinking about what had just transpired. First we some what flirted then he fucking kissed me. Oh dear god what in the hell? I can't believe this. There was some movement out side of the room then the door hissed open. Of course it can be unlocked from the outside. Not what I needed to deal with. More fucking frustrations other than the ones I had already worked out. He looked at me once then went over the benches and took off his shirt. Does that man know just what he's putting me through? Damn him for having the body of a god. Damn him to the seven pits of hell.
Riddick's POV
Something about me kissing her made me want more. I wanted to make her scream my name as she writhed underneath me. God damn it. It was definitely a mistake to bring her with me. Again my heightened senses came into play when I smelled her arousal through the door of the gym. I went in to work out some of the sexual tension and there she was at the other end of the room. I did what I normally do and took my shirt off before I began my everyday training routine.
I moved around the bag so that I was facing her on the other side and started my work out. Dust wafted in the air with every hit I made on the bag. I punched and kicked the bag even as I heard her breathing become ragged as she watched. I saw her eyes widen and her jaw slightly drop as I moved about. I heard her groan under her breath and it made me smirk. Who would have thought that I would have this much of an effect on a kid? Well she's not exactly a kid anymore but to me she'll always be my little Jack. That is if I can stop thinking about her the way that I have been that is for damned sure.
"Having a problem Jack?"
"N-Nope."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Very sure."
With that she got up and left the room as fast as she could and went into the bathroom. Her scent was over powering. As soon as she stood up I smelled it but when she walked or rather ran passed, well it made a difference because it was right there and if I don't do something soon then I'm going to want to take her and make her mine in an instant.
Jacks POV
Oh dear god. I have to stay as far away from him as this ship will allow. Maybe I'll stay in the cabin for a while, or in here. Either way it will keep me away from him. Away from seeing his rippling muscles. Away from wanting him. Oh dear god put me out of me fucking misery. If someone where to ask me what I really wanted I would tell them I would want nothing more than to rip his cloths off and do all sorts of things but I have to be realistic here. This is Riddick we are talking about here so nothing I want really matters in a situation such as this. Maybe a nice cold shower would help.
Turning on the shower I was glad that it was actual water and not sonic spray. I turned it on so that it was freezing cold and stepped in after stripping off my cloths. The cold water touched my hot skin and my arms broke out in Goosebumps. Having been so close to doing something I'd regret. I really couldn't face him for a long while. There was a way to get into the bathroom I knew that but I just ignored the door and kept my attention on my ice fucking cold shower. I stood under the spray for how ever long since I lost track of time. After a while I felt two arms surround me. Turning quickly there Riddick stood in the flesh. All flesh. Nothing covering his body.
"What are you doing?"
"Just relax."
He whispered into my ear and slid his hands down my back. I tried in vain to suppress a groan but it came out just the same. His large hands kneaded there way into my muscles. I did as he said and relaxed. I lay my head on his chest, since he is so freakin tall and I couldn't exactly put my head on his shoulder, and closed my eyes. The tension in my body dissipated and another groan escaped my lips. His scent and body next to mine clouded my thoughts. He tilted my face towards his and again captured my lips with his own. It started as a soft sensuous kiss then became more urgent as both of our tongues competed for dominance. It was one thing I didn't mind losing.
Riddick's POV
Jack had been in the shower for a couple hours and the scent of her didn't fade. It seemed to only grow stronger. I went into the bathroom and felt myself tighten when I saw the water cascade down her perfectly shaped body. Getting out of the rest of my cloths I wrapped my arms around her. I held her as she relaxed against me. Her small frame pressed into my seemingly larger one. I had to have her. Her lips tasted of a sweet fruit that I hadn't tasted in years. Without leaving her lips I lifted her in one arm, and shut the water off with the other then carried her to the cabin. Softly I laid her on the bed beneath me and ran my fingers of one hand down her side and to her hip. My lips then left hers and trailed down her jaw to her neck. Her whimpers and moans encouraged me.
"Riddick…"
I looked up at her and saw the lust in her eyes. She wanted this as much as I did. She pushed up and kisses my jaw up to my earlobe where she took it between her teeth and grazed it slightly. A growl deep in my throat escaped causing her to shudder in pleasure as it rumbled through my chest vibrating out bodies. Her hips bucked up and it took all the control I had, which was very little at this point, not to take her right there. I didn't want her to hate me after all.
"Riddick please…"
"Please what Jack?"
"Oh dear god Riddick!"
She pulled me down to her with a kiss so fierce and full of hunger. She hooked her legs around me making my lower half press into her. She ground her hips into me and I lost all rational thought about taking it slow. I loosened her legs and plunged into her warmth. She cried out and she sounded so beautiful. The only word going through my head was 'mine'. Jack was mine. The beast within took slight control as I pounded into her. Jacks encouragements egged me on until I felt her wall collapse around me. With her climax right on top of her, she screamed out my name and I groaned into her neck as mine came soon after. With a final trust I spilled into her and lay to the side taking her with me. I lay on my back as she laid half way on top of me and on the bed. Our breathing returned to normal and Jacks evened out. She was asleep as I lay there awake. She really did fit where she was and that's where she'd stay. That is if I didn't fuck things up this time.
