Chapter 16:
Jeff sighed as he stepped out into the warm air of Leger he told Riddick that he was leaving. He didn't take it well,
there was a lot of yelling and swearing. Only Jack had managed to hold him back. Everyone had felt betrayed. Chole and Scott
had done a lot of glaring, and of course Riddick was threating his life. Only Jack had been supportive, which is weird, he
figured she would be supportive to Riddick, but life is full of surprises. Maybe she understood his reasons. He shook his
head, whatever compelled her to do what she did was none of his business now.
He grinned and walked forward, time to start his new life. He had a fair amount of money stored away, who was he kidding, he
had enough to last a lifetime, thanks to Riddick's little shipments. He walked towards the town, might as well stay here for
awhile, look into getting a job, and see how things go from there.
Riddick was smoldering, who did he think he was that he could just up and leave when ever he felt like it. He wanted to kill
him. And who was Jack to think she could stop him. 'but she did' a little voice at the back of his head reminded him. Fuck.
He growled again and stormed around his room again.
Jack knew that Riddick was pissed, she occasionally heard a curse word or the dull sound of him hitting something. But mostly
she heard him storming around the room. She sighed and put down her book, she had enough of this. She walked to the bathroom
door and crossed through and paused at the door trying to figure out where in the room he was. A slam on the far side of the
wall gave her an idea. She sighed and walked into the room.
"Lights to dim." She hated how he kept his room in total darkness. Now they both could see.
"What do you want Jack." Riddick growled out.
"Don't you think you're over reacting a little bit Riddick?" She asked quietly, Riddick was glaring at her, and not in a
very friendly matter. It sent small shivers up her spine.
"Over.." he drawled the word out "reacting". He paused to let the feel of the word roll in his mouth. He slowly stalked
forward, getting closer to Jack with each step. "You think I'm overreacting, do you."
It was a statment that Jack wish he hadn't said. He was slowly stalking towards her, she took a step back and met the wall.
He looked menacing and sexy as all hell.
"I do" she barely managed to get that out as he took another step forward, he was mere inches from her. She could feel the
heat coming off of him.
He took another step forward, closing the small distance between the two of them. He could feel her, it was intoxicating,
she smelled so good. He almost forgot about what they were talking about but not quite. He sneered and looked down at her,
she looked so innocent and inviting at that moment. He leaned down and kissed her, it was soft and inviting, she tasted like
peaches. He sighed and deepened the kiss.
Jack looked up at him as he closed the distance, he was entirely too close now. Then all of a sudden out of nowhere he was
kissing her. She was too shocked to react, she felt him deepen the kiss, she opened her mouth slightly on a sigh. She could
feel the passion behind it. She felt him pull away suddenly, she looked up at him. Her lips tingled slightly.
"Jack" the word was a whisper, a plea and a promise all in one.
Okay, I'm really really sorry on how long this took to get out. I got a little writer's block, but i'm back in business, and
I've got the next part started, already. And thanks for all the great comments.
