When the crew arrived in New Mecca it was already sunset. Imam took them to the place that him and his acolytes were previously making their journey to. The place wasn't that hard to find due to its impressive build, it was the size of a palace. When they got inside the temple they were greeted by the priests and acolytes, and were later shown where they would be staying. It was a spacious three-bedroom apartment, Nova and Riddick had no problem sharing a room with one another. Once they got to their room she immediately jumped on the bed.

"Bed! Extra firm, just the way I like it." Nova said, smiling with her eyes closed.

Nova felt Riddick get on alongside her. She opened her eyes to look at him, she couldn't tell if his eyes were open or not since he still had his goggles on. She slowly started to take them off. He didn't stop her so she took that as an okay to do so.

"How long do you plan on staying here?" Riddick asked.

"Just until our wounds heal." Nova said.

"How long do you think that will take?" Riddick asked, turning over onto his back and putting his arms under his head like a pillow.

"A couple days, maybe." Nova said, leaning over to give Riddick a quick kiss.

Riddick's eyes followed Nova as she moved back to her previous spot.

"I'm going to go take a shower." Nova said.

"Need company?" Riddick asked, about to get off the bed.

"Sorry, but no. Being stuck with you guys in a small space for so long has me longing for some private time." Nova said.


Nova went back to her room in only a towel. She was starting to look through the drawers when she felt someone come up behind her.

"So, is this when we continue where we left off?" Riddick asked.

Riddick was right behind Nova, arms wrapped around her waist, face in her neck. If he hadn't had such a good hold on her she probably would have hit the ceiling.

"Jeez! I thought you were sleeping." Nova said startled.

Nova turned around to face Riddick.

"I thought about it, but then all I could think about was us in that room, before everything started getting crazy... -er." Riddick said, lightly tugging on Nova's towel.

Nova could feel her body start to get hot. Riddick pressed himself flush against her body, and she could feel how hard he had grown while they had been talking. He picked her up and placed her on the bed before starting to kiss her neck, trailing from one side to the other.

"Um, don't you want to take a shower first?" Nova asked nervously, her head starting to spin.

Riddick stopped and looked up at Nova.

"You really want me to?" Riddick asked.

"Yes, please." Nova said.

"Be back in ten." Riddick said, getting off the bed.

"Twenty." Nova recommended.

"Seriously?" Riddick said.

"Yes." Nova confirmed.

"Fine." Riddick said, before leaving to go shower.

Nova tried to relax.

'I can't believe I managed to forgot about that. He seriously looks like he could break me in half.' Nova thought. 'I'm sure he'll be careful.' She finished, starting to drift off to sleep.


When Riddick got back to the room he locked the door behind him and climbed onto the bed. The sudden shift slightly roused Nova from her slumber. Seeing her in the dark, she looked like she was glowing. She felt him start to touch her arm, and she felt him slowly start to remove her towel. He started to take off his own towel and she started to shiver at the thought of what they were about to do.

"What's wrong? You cold?" Riddick asked.

"I'm just a little nervous." Nova said.

Riddick embraced Nova and started to softly run his fingertips over her back. He brought his face closer to hers and started giving her slow, deep kisses. His hands continuing to raise goosebumps from her skin. She wrapped her arm under his to bring his chest flush against hers, and their kissing started getting more sloppy and aggressive. He slowly stopped kissing her and moved his mouth down over her left nipple. He started sucking and slightly tugging on it with his teeth, making her moan and squeal. She could feel her privates starting to get hot and moist. She tossed her head back and let her feel all of the sensations happening to her. She had herself propped up on her right elbow and placed her left hand on top of his scalp. Running her fingertips over the short stubble of his head. He looked up at her and started kissing her again. She could slowly feel him start to get her to lie down, hovering above her. He reached down with his right hand to start touching her privates. She instinctively closed her legs tightly.

"Is that not okay?" Riddick asked, immediately backing off.

"I'm sorry. Yes! It's just- I'm so used to fighting, and telling people no. And-" Nova said, starting to feel embarrassed.

"Hey. Hey. Baby, it's okay." Riddick said, reassuring Nova.

Riddick was about to move to lie down beside her when she wrapped her legs around his waist.

"Wait! I still want to be intimate with you." Nova said, holding Riddick firmly in place.

Riddick looked down at her and ran his thumb over her lips and cheek, and started kissing her again. He moved his hand down to start touching her privates again, this time she held her legs open and allowed herself to relax while melting into his kisses. He ran the back of his hand up and down her vulva, his knuckles getting more slick with each slow swiping motion he made. He made sure his index finger was fully coated before he tried slipping his finger inside of her. She immediately started clenching around his finger. He moved his finger in and out and coated his middle finger before placing it and his index finger back inside her. He only used two fingers to warm her up before he decided to try and put his shaft inside of her. When his shaft touched her entrance she instinctively moved away.

"Shoot! Sorry!" Nova exclaimed.

"Hey. It's okay. It's not a race." Riddick said, reassuring Nova while kissing her again. "I'll go slow. I'll just stick the head in, and you can go at your own pace until you're comfortable enough for me to start moving, too." He finished.

Nova was incredibly grateful to Riddick in that moment. She felt herself starting to get emotional.

'Girl, don't cry. That will make this shit so embarrassing.' Nova thought, trying to calm herself.

Nova nodded her head and let Riddick enter her. She started making very slight movements as her privates adjusted around his shaft. She kept going until she felt she couldn't fit anymore of him inside her.

"That's it." Nova said, voice breathy. "Just give me a moment to adjust." She finished.

Nova started to move her hips away from Riddick's and bringing them back in. He took that as his cue to be able to start. She started to groan in discomfort and held him in place. He stopped moving and started giving her neck, face, and lips soft kisses. When she was able to relax again she started moving her hips. As the discomfort started to subside she started moving at a consistent and steady pace. He took that as his cue to start moving again. She started moaning, loudly.

"Oh fuck! Oh fuck!" Nova exclaimed.

"Not that I'm not glad I can make you moan like this, but I think you're forgetting we have roommates." Riddick said, pausing his thrusts

Nova started groaning from arousal and embarrassment, and turned to put her face in the pillow. Riddick gave her a kiss on the forehead before continuing to thrust his hips into hers. They switched positions a few times before he had her lie on her stomach with her legs together. He entered her privates from behind, her legs being together made the sensation of his thrusts more intense. She started yelling louder with her face flush again the pillow while feeling herself about to climax. After a few more vigorous thrusts she felt herself finish and clench around him. The sensation finally sent him over the edge and he finished inside her. The feeling felt so personal and intimate, her body started having miniature convulsions. Once they both settled he reached for a towel and had her lift her hips to put it under her. He pulled out of her and his seed started pooling out of her. He lied down beside her, both of them covered in a sheen of sweat.

"Hey." Nova started.

"Yeah?" Riddick encouraged.

"I'm glad you exist." Nova finished.

Riddick was silent, not sure if he ever once heard someone say that to him. After some time he rolled over and kissed her deeply.

"I'm glad you exist, too." Riddick said, allowing himself to be vulnerable in that moment.

After they went to the bathroom and showered again, they got back in bed and fell asleep in each other's arms.
