Chapter 11

For the next few weeks, Riddick was relentless. Whenever we could get it in, sex was part of our daily agenda. I have to admit, there wasn't much of anything else to do on the planet, but he was taking this to a new level. My body didn't have enough time in between to heal itself since my first time. I was extremely sore. I figured he was trying to prove his point of owning me, but this was unnecessary. As good as the sex was I was tired of it already. I didn't even need to tell Arianna; she figured it out for herself. Occasionally, she would ask me questions, and I tried to be honest with my answers. But Riddick was a beast. He had even told the old woman to give us a larger apartment in exchange for the two rooms. That way it would be easier for us.

That day, I was avoiding Riddick. I was sick and sore, so I decided to get out the apartment and explore the planet a little. I was tired of the settlement and decided to venture a safe distance away in the outskirts. I rented I glider and went around the barren desert. A few miles away from the settlement, I found a small base. It looked like a military base with a small hangar. I assumed it was empty and wanted to explore it further. I hid my glider a safe distance away. I got out a pistol and ran toward the base. I went into the hangar first, I heard a few voices. They seemed to be coming from the back so I crept toward the source.

I saw a few men inside talking a drinking some cheap vodka. I looked at their uniforms. They were Company men. It made sense that they were there. The Company ruled the verse and had their hand in everything. Even on the worse of planets they had some sort of military operation running at all times. This planet was no exception. They probably didn't get much action, but their presence was necessary for the Company's purposes.

It was too dangerous for me to be here. I hurried as fast as I could to get away. On my way out, I accidentally knocked a barrel of oil over. A loud sound resonated from the fall to the concrete floors. I looked back after hiding. I saw the men stand up and head for the door. They came toward me; I looked to see how far the exit was from where I hid. I could probably make it without getting caught. I risked it and ran. I was almost clear and then I heard a gun shot. I dove to the ground. The men were yelling and trying to surround me. I took out another gun and sprinted out of the hangar. I ran toward the fence that was now closing. I had to climb it now. I jumped as high as I could when I was close enough to it. I was about half way up. I kept climbing until I got to the top. I jumped off and then tucked and rolled in the sand. I quickly got up and ran to my glider. I looked back; they hadn't followed me.

Moments later I was back in town. When I got back to my apartment, I hurried to my room. Before I was safely inside, Riddick grabbed and then slammed me into the wall. I heard the sound my back made after it hit it. "Where were you?" Overly possessive or overly protective, which could it be?

"I was out. I wanted to get some air."

"Why didn't you tell someone?"

"I didn't think it was that important."

"You're my mate. I'm supposed to protect you. It's hard to do if I can't find you." I knew he was sincere; I felt a pain in my heart from his words. I moved toward him and hugged him. He wrapped his arms around me and returned the embrace. Honestly, I felt safe in his embrace as dangerous as he may have been. I knew he would protect me.

"I was out in the outskirts. I found a Company base with soldiers on duty. They saw me when I was leaving. I'm not sure how well they saw me, but they did follow me to the gate." I heard a low growl come from his chest. It could have been because of the fact that I was almost caught or it could have been because of the fact that the Company was so close. At that moment, I didn't know which it was. I cupped his face in my hands and kissed him. It took him a minute, but he kissed me back. Riddick lifted me up; I wrapped my legs around his waist. He was hard and not trying to hide it anymore. "I want you," I could play a little. He pressed into me.

"How much?"

"Too much." I sucked on his lower lip. After I let go, I took off his goggles and threw them to the floor. Now I could stare into his silver orbs. I think I loved this man. He carried me into my bed room and placed me onto my bed. My legs stayed locked around his waist, not wanting to let go of him. Riddick lowered himself and started to grope me under my clothes and kiss on my neck. One thing led to a next and we both had our clothes off and were having the most passionate sex than any other times since we began this relationship. When everything was finished, I held him to me. His head rested on my chest. I stroked his head as we lay together. I thought and worried about the Company being on Tarrok. We might have been able to remain on this planet. I wondered what he was thinking about; if anything.

"We'll stay here for now. But if something happens, we gotta go," Riddick stated, bringing me back to reality from my thoughts. "Don't go out of town unless it is an emergency. Even then you wouldn't need to. Just stay low where ever you go and be careful."

"All right. I'll tell Arianna." He didn't say anything. I tried my best to think of something else, something that could take my mind off of the Company. Suddenly I felt sick; I jumped out of the bed and ran to the bathroom. I threw up my guts on the floor before I could reach the toilet. I leaned against the wall trying to regain my composure. Riddick came in after me with a worried look in his eyes. What the hell had happened? He threw a towel on the floor and helped me to the bed.

"Get some sleep." He turned off the lights and closed the bedroom door behind him. I lay there in the dark for a while trying to figure out what had caused the previous incident; nothing came to mind. I hadn't eaten anything bad, I wasn't sick, what could it have been?

A few hours later Arianna slammed the door open which caused me to wake from my sleep. I shot my eyes towards her. She had panic written on her face. "Are you ok? Riddick told me what happened and he wanted me to keep an eye on you."

"I think I'm ok now. But I don't know what made me sick."

"You could be pregnant." I gave her a worried/surprised look.

"No. I can't be… Can I?" She shrugged.

"I remember reading that nausea and vomiting are some of the first few signs of pregnancy. But I don't know for sure. And it's not like we were given any preventive methods back on Lineia. It's possible, Jaz." I knew I had to be visibly horrified by the notion of me being pregnant. I had no problem having babies, but this wasn't the right time for anything like this to be happening. I whined and fell back into my pillow.

"Isn't there some way to test and find out?"

"Yup-yup." She pulled out a box from her bag. "I saw this in a store. I didn't know if one of us would need it; but I got it any way." I took the box from her and read the label to see what the contents were. It was a pregnancy test. I opened it and followed the directions. I pricked my hip and let the blood fill the small tab. I had to wait a few seconds. I saw and interpreted the results. This little thing claimed that I was pregnant. I felt light headed. Arianna took it from me and looked; she gasped. I didn't know if she was happy or worried; probably the first. "What are you gonna do, Jaz?"

I shook my head. "I don't know. I guess I gotta tell Riddick though."
