Chapter 10

"Riddick . . . ?"

From the darkness she heard a growling sound beckoning to her. A hand reached out and stroked her face, and combed slowly through her hair. The hand moved down her neck, slowly trailed down her chest where it stopped to caress her breast through her vest top. Riley moaned silently in delight, no longer holding back her emotions for what her body secretly craved from this one man she felt could truly satisfy her.

She reached out her hands to find his body, her fingers glided over his chest which she could feel was damp with sweat. Gripping his vest top she pulled him in close for a passionate embrace, she felt his face he was smiling and the goggles were off. He whispered in her ear.

"Riley, I want you so bad now baby"

"I want you too Riddick . . . ". She said breathlessly.

They kissed deeply, lips locking his hands travelled up and down her back as he reached down and grabbed her ass and lifted her up to wrap her legs around his waist. To his joy he felt that she was only wearing a thong and no pants now. The touch of her soft silken skin drove him wild. She wrapped her arms around his neck and strong muscular shoulders as she then reached down to pull off his vest. He in turn pulled her top off as well, and buried his face in between her large ample bare breasts. As he playfully teased her nipples with his tongue and teeth he growled deeply in enjoyment, while Riley moaned in pleasure to his teasing of her body.

Riddick carried her over to a bed, he had no problem with his vision in the dark, laying her down gently he lay down on top of her and continued to kiss her, now their passion was growing wild and begging for release. She helped him to remove his pants and felt that he was primed and ready for action and extremely well endowed. In turn he removed her thong to find that she was very wet in anticipation of his big package. She looked at him now eagerly awaiting him to set her free.

"Don't hold back Riddick, release the animal within you and set me free"

Without a word, he simply growled in response, and pounced on her like a wild animal. Upon entering her body, they began to move as one in unison. Both moaning and grunting, the air became electrified as Riley released the beast within herself; objects flew around the room as they both began to hover above the bed. She could feel Riddick claw at her back and bite her neck now as she bit him in return. They could feel that the other was close now. Gripping her hands tightly and holding them above her head she could feel his body go tense.

"I'm . . . Ready . . . Riddick to show you"

"Now!" he shouted

He released himself deep inside her, as a heavenly glow came all over her whole body as she came too; they both fell from the air and landed on the bed with a bump.

"Riley . . . Riley . . . you ok?" he whispered

Jumping awake to find her head throbbing, she reached her hand to her head to find she was now handcuffed. Not the most flattering of jewellery to wear on your wrist these days she thought. On her head she could feel a mechanism of some sort was strapped around her forehead. This can't be good she thought. Trying to sit up and move her legs she found that her legs were chained together as well. What the fuck happened to me? Opening her eyes wide as her vision cleared now she heard a familiar voice that called to her from the other side of what appeared to be a prison cell.

"I'm . . . Fine . . . I think?"

"You were moaning and groaning just now and you called out my name in your sleep, what was that about?"

Only just vividly her mind flashed to some images as she rubbed her eyes. Did I just dream about what I think I dreamed about? And he heard what I . . . Oh God why are you so cruel to me . . . She aimed to hide her embarrassment, as much as she had secretly enjoyed her dream, no way was she telling Riddick about it.

"I'm not sure … I can't remember."

She hoped that he would leave it at that and not ask her any more questions. But Riddick had other ideas, he had been waiting for Riley to wake up for the past few hours since Drake and his men had put them in the cell. Waiting for a sign that she was ok, he was curious now after all her talking in her sleep and he wasn't letting it go now.

"Were you dreaming about me . . . Sexy? The two of us, having some fun, perhaps?"

"I don't remember Riddick, Now quit bugging me and explain to me where the fuck we are?!"

Riddick quietly laughed to himself as he sat up and turned himself towards Riley. She noticed that he was chained and handcuffed as well and she was hoping that he had a good explanation for it. If he didn't give her a good answer she was going to kick his ass; in the hope that it would take her mind off the throbbing pain in her head, if only for a moment. Figuring that the new piece of jewellery around her head was blocking her from accessing her telekinesis, thus adding to her headache she wasn't in the best of moods.

"You have Gabriel Chambers to thank for our new lodgings, he wants you alive now, I'm just here for the ride you promised me" he grinned at her smugly.

It was then that she realised that they were being watched, as the only ride she had ever offered him was in her ship, which meant escape. She understood now that he had indeed allowed them to be captured but only so that they could take the fight directly to Gabriel himself. Though she couldn't understand why Riddick simply didn't leave her behind and escape by himself. She played along with him.

"If you want that ride, you will have to come and get it big boy!" she grinned back with a sly wink that was only noticeable to Riddick alone.

He moved in slowly as the chains on his ankles restricted his movement as they clattered and clanged all the way. Jumping on Riley they banged in to the cell wall together, she had managed to get her arms around his neck, though it was difficult with the handcuffs on. In between loud gasps and passionate kissing they whispered to one another.

"I'm only here as I have a score to settle with Drake, after that I'm gone"

"Ok . . . . I'll deal with Gabriel"

"But if I get the chance to take down Gabriel I'm going for it and I will take your ship and leave you here"

She wasn't surprised by his response, and had expected as much.

"Fine, but I am not dead yet . . . Remember the deal!" and she meant it as she stared him directly in his eyes without flinching.

Bringing up her knee just enough thankfully the chains allowed her to go so far. She kneed Riddick in the groin and released him from her arms as he grunted and fell to his knees. He hadn't expected her to do that. Maybe she was pissed by his response, not that he cared, why should he? He wondered. It was who he was after all and what he was all about. This was what he did best, escape from what people called inescapable places and he wasn't going to carry her out of here. She needed to get out herself, prove to him her survival instinct was strong. Though she had already saved his life once and surprised him in more ways than one, he needed more from her and yet he didn't want to see her die.

"That's the only kind of ride you will ever get from me! Riddick and don't you fucking forget it!!"

He liked that she wasn't scared or intimidated by him, admired her strength. Although he was thinking he will be more cautious around her from now on as the pain in his groin subsided. Watching her as she sat back on her bed, the unemotional look that she gave him now was troubling. Was she just putting it on for the camera or had he pushed her away for good?

Drake entered the Cellblock with two guards. Both Riley and Riddick shifted their gaze to watch him through the bars.

"Nice to see you back with us in the land of the living Ms. Sinclair, Gabriel would like to see you now"

"Tell Gabriel, I've got something more interesting to do like watch these bars all day . . . Ok"

"He does have a surprise for you and he never gives anyone a gift, you've become quite special to him"

"I'm not interested in being bloody special to him!"

Without a word, Drake raised his hand to reveal a remote control device. He smiled as he pointed it in Riley's direction.

"Well you can tell him yourself cos he wants to see you now and what Mr Chambers wants . . . He gets"

A volt of electricity fired from the device on Riley's head and caused her to convulse uncontrollably before she collapsed and fell to the floor. Riddick stayed seated where he was, it angered him to see Riley hurt like that especially by that bastard Drake. He couldn't understand why it angered him so much, did he care about Riley more than he realised? Could he really leave her with that bastard Gabriel? The two guards came in to pick up Riley's body; they dragged her out and closed the gate behind them.

"Don't worry Riddick; I got big plans for you too! Just you wait and see!"

Riddick stared back at Drake stone faced as he thought I'm ready for you dip shit and this time you will die.
