Jack woke up when Riddick pulled from her. She whined though, unwilling to be awake as she squirmed into the warmer spot that Riddick vacated. When he came back she peeked open an eye to see what he was up to she was happy to find him just crawling back into bed with her. The only thing that made her blush was that he was still naked too which just made her remember last night. "I… I can't believe…" Jack whimpered into the mattress, the pillow for some reason above her head instead of under it. "You must think I'm disgusting."
Riddick frowned, decided now was probably not the time to press flush up against her naked and moved back out of the bed and back into it leaving Jack under both the sheet and the quilt while he was just under the quilt. It was then he moved so he was back mostly over her. He wasn't one for comforting irrational fears, but it would be better for both of them if she didn't associate sex with feeling disgusting. "You're not disgusting Jack."
"I acted like a fucking cat in heat, it was my first time but I just crawled right into your lap and asked for it." Jack whimpered as Riddick kissed along her spine.
Actually, her crawling up to him had probably been one of the single sexiest sights he'd ever seen. "Jack you were dosed, you couldn't control how you were feeling."
"I could have…" Jack didn't know what she could have done, but she still felt that way.
"You couldn't have done shit," Riddick growled at her, his lips against her shoulder. "You're a gorgeous creature Jack, fucking sexy, and you're all mine." Jack shook her head, but didn't say anything further, for which he was glad, but he still wasn't pleased. "It was sick that your own father drugged you, but that's not on you Jack. What happened afterwards was on me."
"I could have said no, I could have just suffered it out…" Jack whined trying to pull him away.
"No," Riddick said simply. "There was a point where I was letting you fight it out, but eventually I would have made sure it ended the way it did." He pet her hair, cupped the back of her head as he nuzzled her temple.
"I should have gone back when you said to…" Jack whimpered, struggling around so she was on her back looking up at him, even though something about that action was uncomfortable. "When you told me no one would blame me…"
Riddick sighed giving her a quick kiss before he laid down on his side next to her, looking down at her. "Then listen next time." Jack went to say something, but knocking at the door interrupted her. Growling Riddick moved off the bed snagging his pants off the floor, throwing them on, before he walked over to the door, snatching it open when the knocking kept up. He was not pleased by who he saw at all.
"I want to see my friend," Jenny insisted glaring up at Riddick.
"And I want a pardon from ten worlds in six galaxies, I think we're both shit out of luck babe," Riddick said as he leaned on the only partially opened door blocking the blondes view and way. He could hear Jack scrambling to collect her clothes, when he heard a distressed noise he shut the door a little more looking over at her. She was rubbing at some dry blood on her inner thigh. "Shit." Riddick sighed shutting and locking the door on Jenny who was complaining about something he had tuned out. She started knocking again but he ignored her as he walked over to Jack. He grabbed her shoulders leaning down, catching her eye. "Hey, hey, it's okay, it happens," Riddick hummed to her hoping to wipe that hurt look off her face. "You know that you can bleed first time or so."
"I…" Jack started, but cut herself off when Jenny hit the door particularly loudly, instead she swallowed and nodded.
"Take a shower babe," Riddick told her kissing the side of her mouth, his hands moving from her shoulders to cup her face. When she just gripped her clothes closer to her chest he gave her a gentle kiss saying, "I'm sorry I was rough with you your first time Jack." After a second he nuzzled her temple asking, "You forgive me baby girl?"
Jack's heart clenched in her chest. Riddick apologized? She nodded quickly. She was acting silly. It happened; it wasn't even a lot of blood. "Y-yeah, don't be sorry." Someone probably moved the wrong way, nothing even hurt that much. Really her side hurt more which was her dads doing, and her hips felt a little abused. Jack smiled a little at him, "It's not anyone's fault." Riddick kissed her forehead before nudging her towards the shower. This time she went, shutting the door behind her.
Riddick couldn't help but smirk once Jack was out of sight. He was a manipulative bastard, yes, but it was better if Jack was happy. She didn't blame him, and she didn't blame herself. Everything was fine. Except for the god damn sprite on the other side of the door knocking to get in. Still.
He walked back over to the door swinging it open to glare at the blonde. "You need to go," Riddick growled.
"Just because you got down Jack's pants last night, doesn't mean you own her," Jenny told him heatedly.
"She didn't say no," Riddick hummed watching the girl, suddenly interested. Why did she need to go straight to him owning Jack? He just said she needed to go, not that he was keeping Jack. Technically he was, but Jenny didn't know that. Either way, thankfully, Lupus seven was a constantly bleak planet; the light was only mildly irritating. It hurt but it didn't blind him.
"She was drugged, you basically raped her," Jenny pointed out particularly viciously.
Riddick glanced over his shoulder making sure that the bathroom door was closed and that even though the water was running that Jack hadn't ventured back out. After he leaned down saying with an even more vicious smile, "And she loved every second of it. What's your point?"
"If you don't let me see her, I'll tell the police where you are," Jenny insisted deviously. "They think you kidnapped her. Her dad spun it all to be your fault."
"Be gone before they got here. Jack too." Riddick countered.
"I'll tell Jack's dad where she is," Jenny said crossing her arms over her chest. "He has the resources to shut down the spaceport until she's found if he felt like it."
"You know I could ghost you right here, and Jack would still forgive me in time. She's known me since Friday night, even though you're her best friend she'd still forgive me for killing you." Riddick told her as he grabbed the front of the girl's shirt. That was low what she'd threatened. Selling out her friend when she knew what was going on. Lower than him manipulating Jack into not worrying about the blood on her thigh. "Even I know that giving your, I'm thinking, only friend up to her abusive father, who she saved you from, is sick. It's sick to even suggest giving Jack up to him, because really I would have left you there."
When it looked like what he said didn't make an impact on him Riddick growled, "You do know that he was going to use those drugs on you, right? That fucker would have been raping you, while thinking about Jack. Make it seem like Jack was hot and needy for him. How's that sit with you knowing you would have been raped while your rapist was thinking of your best friend, his daughter? You would have been nothing more than a surrogate, used and then forgotten."
The girl's eyes shined with tears at that, it hit the right nerve. As he said it though it made Riddick want to kill the bastard in a particularly gory fashion. Still the blonde wouldn't leave, even after he released her. If he said anymore, though, he was going to kill something. The shower cut off then and Riddick growled. Glaring at Jenny he threatened, "You tell her one word of what I just said and I promise they will need a DNA scanner to identify you." Jenny whimpered but nodded. A few seconds later Jack rushed out of the bathroom, unaware of what had just transpired, and pushed her way under his arm to see her friend.
ooo
"She was sorry Riddick," Jack said as she looked down at him. He was being difficult and so she was sitting on his stomach. Apparently they had to lay low, so they weren't allowed to go out at all even though the sun was just going down now. He'd called the mechanic tuning up his ship and asked him to put a rush on it. "Why can't she come back? ...And really you know she's going to come back whether you like it or not. Just this time it'll be after school…"
Riddick watched her, making it obvious that he was annoyed with her. "She's a pain in the ass Jack. She couldn't tell that you were being smacked around by your father. Got herself captured and tied to a chair, because she didn't listen to you. She admitted to ignoring every word you said about your dad, and then instead of leaving well enough alone she back-tracked the GPS in your phone to find the motel so she could see you."
"Riddick she didn't know, if it's not in a book it could smack her upside the head and she still wouldn't see it," Jack said as she looked down at him, running her fingers through her hair. "It's not like there's a "criminal activity for the common man" book out there."
"She was willfully blind Jack. Like people who ignore bodies in alleys, or the sounds of gunshots in bad neighborhoods," Riddick told her as he grabbed a hold of her hips. "Like teachers who just accepted that you fell down the stairs or got in a fight."
"What would she have done anyway Riddick? What would any of them have done? Be like, "we have no proof that you're smacking your daughter around, because she's been in three fights in the last week, but we're going to take her away from you anyway and drop her in foster care, or military school" because it sounds really realistic." Jack insisted as she pushed at his hands wanting to get up.
"Jack if she'd been abused by her parents what would you have done?" Riddick asked cocking an eyebrow.
"That's not the point Riddick," Jack breathed as she looked up at the ceiling. "My father is a murdering psychopath, and that's just when he's sober. When he's drunk he's violent, murdering, psychopath that likes to tell his daughter all the sick things he wants to do to her while he's beating her. From what I've come to understand normal abusive parents either beat their kids or beat them and get it over with and fuck them. They don't talk about it for six years, and rape their friends instead."
Riddick rubbed her sides asking, "You ever been out to the Vegas Galaxy?" Jack sucked in a breath to calm down, before shaking her head no. "Freemont's a little shady but you'd probably like all the casino's, real flashy, lots to see and lot of them have light or water shows out front or in the lobby."
Jack cracked a smile looking down at him. "You're sweet when you wanna change the subject."
Really he'd had an itch that needed to be scratched all day. He wanted to put her father under the ground, but he hadn't been about to leave Jack with Jenny. The blonde had obviously been waiting for him to leave so she could rat him out about what he said. Which was one of the reasons he was being so sweet on her, in case that little harpy decided to just spit it out, he'd be able to give her that "who me?" look convincingly. She'd remember how he was going to take her away from her sick-ass father to somewhere shiny and new. (Well figuratively speaking.) Still he grinned up at her, "What can I say Jack, I like ya."
"Why Freemont?" Jack asked cuddling down so she was laying on him.
"After we get the big ship from Lupus Prime we're gonna ship cargo all over the verse babe," Riddick told as he slid his arms behind his head. "Freemont is just the first one I got lined up."
"From most feared convict to delivery man?" Jack asked cocking an eyebrow at him. Then when Riddick just raised his eyebrow back at her she gave him a cheeky grin asking, "You getting old or something?"
Riddick snorted at her, shaking his head. "It's just a day job." His night job was probably going to keep them on Freemont for at least a year before they shipped back out, or at least in the galaxy. Places like that always had someone important who wanted someone else important dead. People thought he was the problem. He was just fulfilling a wanted service in society, or at least the underbelly of it.
"We're going to have to go into cryo to get to Freemont…" Jack mumbled turning her head and laying it on his chest to listen to his heartbeat, "It's too far to make it awake the whole way and be efficient."
"You have a problem with that Jack?" Riddick asked as he looked up at the ceiling. He hated this down time; however it was bearable with the warm little thing on top of him.
"I wake up sometimes… I was under for a year once I was awake for about two week on and off trying to make my body move. It was a pain I was so frustrated and just wanted to go back under not just fall asleep," Jack explained tilting her head a little to look at him. "I did eventually, but still."
"We'll spend the first two weeks awake, by then we'll probably be sick of each other enough to agree to cryo, but there's about a year and a half of dead space to sleep through, then we'll be awake for the last week or so to navigate around the planets in the system," Riddick laid it out for her. He spent way more time than she did awake in cryo, but that was a conversation to be had if she didn't want to go under when the time came.
"You're bored aren't you?" Jack asked suddenly pushing herself up with her hands on his shoulders. When he shrugged she grinned, "You know how I know? I know because you're laying here chatting me up about what we're going to do. That and your hearts beating like you're asleep." When he just shrugged again, a simple "what can you do?" movement, she gave him a feline grin asking, "You wanna play?"
"Told you no leaving the room," Riddick told her.
"You didn't have many friends as a kid did you? Never wrestled, trying to get the other kid to say mercy?" Jack asked as she moved off him and bounced on the bed.
Maybe he was thinking with his dick, but her idea had potential.
ooo
He had to hand it to the kid. She was tricky, even if he was going easy on her. Now though she growled at him as he held her down into the mattress. Her arms were held captive behind her back, she was trying to squirm around and get him off, but she was having no such luck. He grinned at her chuckling at her, "Say mercy Jack."
She laughed back, "Never!"
Riddick paused before asking, "What would you do if you were really in trouble here?" He tightened his grip to a near approximation of meaning it. He could feel her try to shift her weight, she was testing.
Jack paused thought it through for a second before saying, "Pretend to give in, wait for them to go for the pants before breaking loose. Can't yank someone's pants down while holding onto them perfectly. Strategy changes depending on weapon and number of assailants."
"Good idea for if they're going to rape you on the spot. What if they're restraining you to take you somewhere else?" Riddick continued, loosening up a bit as a reward for her decent answer. Later he would have to explore why Jack had a plan for being raped put a bad taste in his mouth.
"Gotta tell me if they have a weapon, rope, a partner?" Jack insisted, watching him from the corner of her eye. When he tilted his head at her she explained, "It's fair for me to want to know Riddick; they're things I'd learn by just being in the situation."
"You've given in, thinking that they were going to do you on the spot, you've seen no signs of a weapon and they're alone. They grab your arm to take you somewhere else. Out in the open, other people around, threatens to kill you if you make a scene." Riddick set up the situation letting go of her arms but not moving from his spot sitting on her lower back. "What do you do Jack?"
"Make a scene. Scream my lungs out. It'd probably scare them off seeing as we're around other people now," Jack said moving her arms from behind her back to under her head. "Men with weapons tend to like to brandish them, unless they themselves are in danger and are looking for an opening."
Leaning down Riddick nuzzled her shoulder humming out a pleased noise. "Good," Riddick told her his hands moving to massage her back. At first she squirmed but it didn't take very long until she was nearly boneless under him, whimpering her pleasure. "What was that Jack?"
"You're so meeean…" Jack moaned squirming around before stopping suddenly. "Hey, hey, you next," Jack insisted before whimpering as Riddick worked out a final knot in her lower back.
Riddick tilted his head as he looked down at her considering it. Him next? Well if that's what she wanted, who was he to turn down a massage? He moved off of her after a moment more letting her push him down onto his stomach before she move on top of him sitting on his lower back.
"How do you like it Riddick? Hard or soft?" Jack asked as she leaned forward to look down at him, her hands on his back.
"Hard," Riddick rumbled settling down, relaxing a bit.
Jack started at the top of his back at his shoulders wondering what exactly she thought she was doing. Okay really she'd been trying to stop him from turning her into a mindless puddle of goo. She knew that he meant what he said that morning about her not being responsible for how she acted, but…
"Earth to Jack," Riddick called to her, his voice low and rough. She started to ease up, started halting here and there, and one look told him she was thinking about something she should just let go.
"Sorry," Jack said sheepishly as she continued down his back using her thumbs and the heels of her palms. She kept working her way down, and she wasn't even entirely sure what she did, or how she did it, but whatever it was it caused Riddick to shove her under him. It was like an incredibly large insistent cat was giving her affection. He was nuzzling her neck, shoulders, and chest placing soft kisses here and there, and in other places his tongue left wet patches making her squirm and gasp.
What she'd been doing to him had felt so damn good. Usually Riddick wouldn't have stopped her, right now though, he knew she wouldn't carry this forward, knew that she would eventually stop, crawl away from him. The first signs of a moan from her were quickly swallowed, confirming his suspicion as her squirms turned into attempts to move away from his affection. "Shhh Jack, it's okay," He rumbled moving up to place his forehead to hers.
Jack shook her head a bit. It wasn't okay. "Please no…" Jack whined at him. She didn't feel right, sure what he was doing felt good, but instead of quieting that humming inside her he was making it louder this time. He wouldn't understand… He was so in control. "I… I… there's something wrong with me Riddick…"
Riddick leaned back a little to look at her. Her heart was going a mile a minute; she looked torn, and confused. She smelt like she wanted it, mixed with nervousness and adrenaline. Riddick grinned down at her asking, "Never been so close to another animal have you Jack?" After the words left his mouth though Jack really tried to get away from him.
"Let me go Riddick, let me go," Jack pleaded as she pushed and shoved at him. All she could think was that it couldn't be happening again so soon. She didn't want to feel like that around him. She didn't want to really fight with him. She didn't want him to think she had absolutely no control.
He leaned up, but when she flipped over trying to crawl from him he pulled her back under him, his arm around her waist. She squirmed, trying to pull from him but a swift growl stilled her, and she tried to huddle down against the bed.
With Riddick's arm around her waist Jack couldn't lay back down all the way, and she was all too aware of how Riddick was holding her right to his lap. Pressing her face to the bed under her Jack wanted him to let her go, she wanted just the bare amount of space, and she didn't want to have sex while she was feeling like she was losing her mind. Growling back at him Jack jerked back hoping to headbutt him but she found Riddick shoving her back down against the bed with a hand on the back of her neck.
"Not acceptable Jack," Riddick warned her, his tone dark. He listened to the growls bubbling up from her.
"Stop touching me Riddick, let me go, please you need to let me go," Jack demanded as she wriggled around, trying to free herself. "Just for a few minutes, I just… you need to let me go Riddick. I-I can't…"
"You can't what?" Riddick asked as he leaned down over her more.
"Think, I can't think like this, let go," Jack insisted, her voice tight.
Nuzzling just between her shoulder blades Riddick smirked saying, "Damn Jack, you've got nice little animal inside you." He could feel it in her. Like how normal people could feel the calm before a storm. He could feel the thrumming inside of Jack. "What do you want Jack?"
"I want you to let me the fuck go Riddick!" Jack yelled. She'd only been saying it this whole time.
Riddick chuckled, "Not what I meant baby girl. Do you want to fight, fuck, do you want a pack, a mate, an alpha?" One arm kept him from leaning on her too much while the other hand bushed up her side under her shirt. "What has your animal so worked up Jack?"
"Get off." Jack growled.
He growled back at her, "Make me."
Jack continued to growl at him, jerking around and throwing her weight this way and that. Only she couldn't get away which just made her feel even more cagey. Riddick was purposely making this just that much harder. She felt like she couldn't breathe. Whimpering she told him, "I can't, you know I can't…"
"I know, now answer me," Riddick hummed kissing the nape of her neck.
Shaking her head Jack didn't want to answer. Hell she didn't even know the answer, but even if she did she still wouldn't answer him. She needed to calm down, but she didn't know what to do.
Riddick sighed when Jack just shoved her arms over her head mumbling to herself. It sounded like Jack was telling herself to breathe. Kissing her cheek he moved off her to sit behind her saying, "We'll talk about this later." He watched her shoulders shake a little before she shot up running into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her. Running a hand over his face Riddick knew he'd have to settle whatever was up with Jack before they shipped out, or at least get it on the way to being settled. Moving over to the door Riddick asked her, "Now that I'm not touching you, do you wanna tell me what's going on Jack?" After a moment when there was no answer Riddick growled lightly before asking, "This has a happened before right? Have you been handling it yourself, or is someone helping?"
"Jet… down at the bar…" Jack gave in reluctantly even though it'd tell him she was sitting right against the door. "He lets me stay in the attic at bar until I get it together…"
Maybe he had been pushing too hard, but she couldn't bury her animal and just pretend it didn't exist. With him it'd just come up more and more. She'd have to learn to coexist with herself as odd as that would probably seem to the girl. Walking over to the bed Riddick grabbed a phone and listened to the phone tell him the UDs for the call were coming out of his account, and after getting a directory and a number Riddick fell into the chair at the table before the video and audio link came up.
"Jet's- Riddick? Can I help you with something?" Jet asked as he found Riddick's mug on the screen.
Riddick watched as the screen moved around and the scenery started to change as he said, "Jack says you let her use your attic every once in a while." Riddick hoped that Jet would catch on quick so he didn't have to explain ever little detail.
Jet's face contorted as he sat down in his office. "Jack… Does she need to come over?" Jet asked as he looked Riddick over. He wasn't sure why Riddick had Jack but he did, and as he was admitting to it he probably hadn't kidnapped her. "It's hasn't been that long, is she alright?"
"So this happens a lot?" Riddick asked looking at the bathroom door hearing water running. Sounded like Jack was filling up the tub.
"Once or twice a year," Jet said before persistently asking, "Is she alright?"
"One second." Riddick set down the phone and walked back over to the bathroom and opened it. Good sign that it was open but a yelp told him Jack was trying to get undressed. Looking around the door Riddick eyed Jack as she held her shirt to her chest. "You okay in here?"
"Fine." Jack snapped at him. She knew that tone wasn't him really asking if she was okay. It was more Riddick telling her not to do something stupid. Jet had that tone too anytime she came downstairs when she was like this.
With a shrug Riddick shut the door and retrieved the phone as he sat back down, "She's taking a bath, besides being snippy and out of control she seems fine." Propping his chin up on his fist Riddick asked, "Do you know what her animal is after?"
"Honestly I can only begin to guess," Jet offered setting the phone on a stand so he could use both hands to brush roughly through his black hair. Thankfully his own watered down animal wasn't as loud as Jack's or Riddick's. He just understood. "She gets jumpy, she fights recklessly, and gets ticked off easily by anyone with a dick that looks at her too long. When she realizes she can't keep it up she locks herself upstairs throws things around and levels out in a couple days. Jack takes on anyone who she comes across. Last time one of the GI's dragged her in here dumped her in front of me and told me to keep her away from him until she was out of heat. I suppose it could be a bit like that, but Jack's not trying to have kids. She's either looking for someone to beat the shit out of her, or someone who can control her. Sometimes it's hard to tell."
Riddick grinned at that. She was either looking for an alpha or a mate. His eyes drifted to the bathroom, the water had stopped at some point and now he just wanted to go test the waters.
Frowning Jet told him, "She's just a kid Riddick. You might be a little much for her to handle."
"I'll talk to you later Jet." Riddick said before ending the call. He dropped the phone on the receiver on the nightstand before walking back over to the bathroom. Stopping just short of grabbing the handle Riddick actually took a moment to think about what he was doing. Jack wasn't exactly a kid, but she was just a pup… he still opened the door and walked in.
"Riddick!" Jack admonished sinking down into the water more, covering herself the best she could.
To say he didn't take a look would have been a lie, but he did walk in and sit with his back against the tub. "So, Jet thinks you either want someone to beat the shit out of you or someone to control you. Which is it?"
"You said we'd talk about this later," Jack grumbled as she pulled her knees up to her chest. "Could I at least not be naked?"
"I doubt you're going to run off like this, just answer the question Jack," Riddick told her as he looked off in front of himself. When Jack didn't say anything he looked back at her to see her just glaring at him. "Tell me or I'll leave you here."
"But Ri-"
"Jack, we're going to be in space for at least a month going to Lupus Prime," Riddick said as he moved around so he was sitting with his side to the tub facing her, "What just happened is not going to fly in something as small as a planet jumper, because you're not going to have anywhere to run."
Jack didn't know what to do. She wanted to get up and get out of the room. She felt boxed in. Holding her knees tighter to her chest Jack whimpered shaking her head, "I-I don't know." When Riddick narrowed his eyes at her Jack pressed her face to her knees telling him, "I don't know Riddick, I don't know what I want, I barely know what's happening to me. I feel… I feel claustrophobic… and I can't breathe, and no one will help me. No one will tell me what the hell is wrong with me, and all Jet will do for me is let me destroy his attic." Glaring at him Jack finished off, "And you're not helping either. Yesterday you made me all calm, but now you're just making it worse."
That was probably why she didn't particularly enjoy him pressed up against her like that. Feeling like you're trapped in a small space, doesn't mix with being held there by someone. He could understand her not wanting to have sex too. She was trying to subdue her animal and he just wanted to bring it out in her. "Coming with me isn't going to make how you're feeling easier." Riddick insisted as he watched her.
"But you s- I still want to come with you jus…" Jack cut herself off running her fingers through her hair, ending at the back of her neck where the shorter parts in the back ended. "I'm sorry I'm acting this way."
Standing up Riddick grabbed a towel and held it open for her saying, "You're still coming Jack, but we're going to have to work on this."
Jack looked up at him, and before she knew what she was doing she was out of the tub nearly throwing herself against him. He put his arms, and the towel, around her and Jack pushed closer to him kissing the hallow of his throat asking, "You're going to help me?"
He was going to train her how to fight with their down time on the skiff, they'd just have to work on her animal too. "Yeah Jack," He told her gruffly, moving her back a little as he started to rub her dry. He'd give her an alpha, get her in touch with her animal in a way that didn't cause her to freak out on him. It wouldn't be a quick fix, but they'd start slow. Set some ground rules. "You can't run off on me if you get that way in public. You've been lucky up until now but if we're going to do this you can't go getting other men to smack you around."
"But Riddick…" She trailed off when he looked at her sharply.
"I'm not a nice man Jack," he had a feeling that needed to be stated to her more often, "If I see some other male pushing you around, doing anything to you that I don't like, I'm probably going to kill them."
"That's a little harsh…" Jack breathed watching as he ran the towel over her. She felt kind of like a kid.
"I don't mess around Jack," Riddick told her as he kneeled down getting her lower half better. "I'm going to teach you to fight, but I don't want you just showing it off to everyone." He grinned up at her adding, "I want them to think you're cute, maybe a little scrappy, but mostly harmless, or they'll know what's coming." Jack nodded at that one smiling a bit. He had a feeling that she'd forgotten she was naked. She was pliable under his fingers, moved back closer when he pulled.
"Riddick, I'm going to need more clothes…" Jack said, wanting to get away from the obvious rules he was laying out in front of her. She didn't want there to be too many. She didn't want to run into one she couldn't follow.
"Yeah, we'll go get you some clothes tomorrow when I go to check on the ship." Riddick said standing back up and dropping the towel on her head for her to dry her hair. Jack rubbed the towel over her head before quickly snatching up her pants. "Commando?"
"Just because guys wear their underwear indefinitely means shit to me," Jack grumbled before throwing on her bra and shirt. Snatching her underwear off the floor Jack glared at his chuckle before walking out of the bathroom and throwing them into the back of the closet with the rest of her things. "Besides I know for a fact that you're not wearing anything under your pants either." She clearly remembered him getting out of bed and just throwing on his pants to answer the door for Jenny.
Riddick shrugged as he watched her flop down on the bed before he decided he'd have to do something or he was going to lose it. He'd either tie Jack up and go kill her dad, or he'd hold Jack down and do whatever he wanted to do to her. He settled on weapons maintenance grabbed his bag where most of his shivs currently resided and set up at the table. Jack was watching him but she only moved to shuffle around on the bed to see him better.
"Do I get to learn how to handle one of those?" Jack asked as Riddick looked over some wickedly curved blades.
"Not these, but we'll get you some knives of your own, I'll let you practice with some of the others," Riddick told her as he set the pair of blades aside. They were his babies, and despite the fact that Jack probably wouldn't be able to hurt them they were his. Just his.
Jack rolled over onto her back her hands on her stomach asking, "Riddick, why do you make me feel weird?"
"Because I'm your kind kid," Riddick told her simply. "We'll work on your animal too."
"What's it want?" Jack asked despite feeling weird about talking about… another part of herself.
"An alpha," Riddick said forcing himself to concentrate on picking out a knife to sharpen and not go over there and dominate her instead.
"Like a leader?" Jack asked rolling onto her side and curling up a little.
"Something like that," He'd let her view it like that for now.
AUTHORS NOTES:
Soooo this is one of those point a to point b chapters, in the next one things are going to start getting exciting. I'm just torn as to how they're going to be exciting. I was never fully pleased with how they got to Lupus Prime, and Riddick actually letting Jenny come. Sure it was one big plot to get Jack to think Riddick was the best thing since air, but I think I'm going to change it. So I'm torn between Jenny sneaking onto Riddick's ship and something screwing happening and them ending up on a transport ship.
We'll see. It'll be good times either way.
REVIEW REPLIES:
jenefaner:Yay! I'm glad you like ^_^
KielaSierra:Thank you, thank you! And... yeah you have a point my friend. Jenny is sort of an idiot. And I don't much like her either. Still I shall keep writing!
RatedRGirl83:Thanks, and yeah he's still an ass, still going to be the bad guy. Things are going to be awesome.
hideher:Yeah I don't usually rewrite my fanfiction, but I decided to do the rewrite because I knew it'd be better this way. We're still heading to the same places, just we're going to be going down the left path instead of the right. I'm glad you're liking this version. Thank you.
Spirited-Dragon:I'm glad you're like it, and I'm glad I'm apart of your revival for the Riddick world.
ShadoCrawlerCiel: Thank you muchly! And I know, I'd love more Riddick/Jack stories. Hopefully I won't keep you waiting too long.
