Chapter 4
Gillian slept in one of the small guest rooms of the house, Riddick didn't care. He needed to think anyway. The next morning he went down to the great kitchen and sat at the table to eat breakfast. There Jean was eating as well as feeding his daughter. "Where's Jack?" Riddick said through a yawn. Jean smiled broadly, "She's sleeping in." Then he wiggles his eyebrows. "Ah c'mon!" Riddick says as he turns up his face, "That was an over share!" Jean laughs as he wipes the jelly from Sara's mouth. "It wasn't my fault, she started it, I was in the bath tub and she came in stark naked." "Jean! Please, I just wana eat my eggs in peace." Jean picked up Sara, "Yeah that's better huh? You wana go play with your toys?" He soothed his daughter, then he went back to Riddick, "So, how's the lady of the house?" "Just fine, I feel I'm in need of a bath soon myself." Jean laughs as he heads out of the kitchen. Riddick pictured his naked form being washed by Gillian. "Jerome!" Riddick boomed. The short man came running into the kitchen, "Yessir?" "Go find the lady of the house, tell her she's needed in the master bathroom now!"
Yawning, Gillian came stumbling in the gigantic bathroom. Riddick almost dropped the soap when he laid eyes on his wife. Her hair was a bright sunset in the morning light, his eyes followed down to her breasts. She was wearing one of Jack's old nightgowns; it was dark green matching her eyes. But it didn't fit her at all. It was made to fit Jack's more dainty, slender frame. It was way to short and tight for his wife. Gillian was far more endowed, something he never got the chance to notice until now. Riddick's gaze turned as he realized that her nipples were starting to harden from the cool air. Turning, he snuck deeper into the Jacuzzi sized tub. "God woman, Jack's gotta go with you to get some new clothes." She just stood there. "Well?" she finally said. "Come over here and wash me?" "Excuse me?" "You heard me." Her eyes flashed green fire at him. Putting her hair up in a ponytail she grabbed the loofah sponge and soap. Leaning forward she began to scrub, HARD. 'What is she doing?' he thought. It took him everything to not laugh, 'She's trying to hurt me, the poor dear is actually trying to HURT ME' Grabbing her hands he says, "Lights dim, blinds closed!" Pulling off his goggles she looks him in her eyes. Dragging in sharp breaths she starts to gentle her pace. Laughing he leaned back as she bathed him. Slowly Riddick let his gaze travel over her facial appearance. Her lashes were dark and thick, her cheeks flushed from anger and delicate tendrils of bright hair were soaked with swear around her face. Remarkable that she had turned out to be so gorgeous...Riddick awoke from his daydream as she started to scrub faster. She moved over to him, letting Riddick get a smell of her scent. It was clean and flowery. Tearing his stare away from her Riddick looked down, but it didn't help. She was washing his chest at this point. She was gentle as she moved down, he hands moved deeper into the water. "GET OUT!" HE bellows, not wanting her to see the effect she's had on him. "What?" She says in a defenseless voice. "Get out!" he shouts again. She got up and stumbled out almost the same way she stumbled in. Running out of the bathroom and through master bedroom. Gillian ran to the hall and didn't know where to go. "Fuck! This place is so big." She ran to the nearest bedroom. It wasn't as big as the others but it would do. Throwing herself on the bed she began to cry. Not long after running in and crying, an old woman and Jack came waltzing in. They both came and sat on either side of her. "Oh honey what's wrong?" The old woman said. Looking up at her Gillian gives her a baffled look. "Who are you?" Laughing a bit the old woman looks at Jack before saying, "She can gobble my food down in one gulp but she doesn't know who I am." Jack smiles and says, "Gillian this is Edna, she's the cook here." Gillian sniffs a bit. "Now what's wrong Gilly?" Jack says. "He hates me." She chokes out. "Who?" the old woman says. "She's talking about Riddick" Jack looks over to the old woman with a knowing look, before continuing. "Honey, Riddick only thinks he hates you, once he gets to know you he'll begin to respect and love you." "No he won't, he hates me and he'll always hate me. I'm a big ugly gawky thing." Edna laughs and says, "You got to be kidding...stand up." Gillian complies. Jack sucks on her teeth, "Girl if you don't hush with that, do you know how much I'd kill for a body like that?" Gillian smiles a bit. "I'm just glad Jean met me before he met you, or I'd be out of a husband." "Oh Jean's your husband?" "Uh huh, he's all mine." "He's cute." "thanks." Edna lays a hand on Gillian's shoulder and says, "Gillian, Riddick can be tough but he's not all tough. The exterior is only like that for show, he'll come around." "Maybe I don't want him to come around." Gillian scoffs. With that Riddick comes rushing through the door. "Gillian, come back and do your job!" he yells. Jack and Edna make a barrier around Gillian. Jack frowns and says, "You just told her to get out!" "And how would you know that?" "Well we all heard it Riddick" Edna replies. "Well if you were doing your job you wouldn't of heard it, and if Jack wasn't in her wing of the house she wouldn't of heard it either! Now Gillian come!" Jack holds Gillian back, "Stay Gillian." Riddick frowns, "Jack, don't over step your bounds." He growls. Jack holds her ground but she starts to get afraid. Riddick smiles, he can smell her fear. "She's coming with me today Riddick, she needs a new wardrobe." Riddick looks from her to Gillian who's trembling at this point. "Good, she needs it." He simply says as he eyes her. Throwing a couple of credit cards at her. "Be home before dark." With that he leaves the room. All the women let out a deep breath. Gillian's eyes go big, "How do you do that!" "Do what?" "Stand up to him." "Riddick is scary nonetheless, but he isn't a fool. He would never hurt anyone, not unless they made him. Besides, me and Riddick go way back." "Oh?" "Yeah, let's get you changed and I'll tell you the whole story while we shop."
