CH.12
The man sat down on the bed. Riddick and Stephanie looked at each other worried. Then the man went to the window padlocked it and put the key in his pocket. Their way for freedom was closed. They'd had to find another way now. The man switched on the radio; soft music filled the air. The wait seemed to be longer than expected. Stephanie, thanks to the music, relaxed a little, always paying attention to what the man outside was doing. She smiled to herself, that situation was almost funny. She still got Riddick's arm posed around her waist. He was back with her. She felt him touch her hair with his other hand. It was so delicate a touch, almost imperceptible, that she thought it was a dream for a while. Everything was so strange, so unusual. She looked at his arm around her waist and smiled, she'd thought of something. Slowly she started to barely touch him with one finger, running it along his forearm. First, very softly then it was a long caress. This she knew had kept Riddick's attention immediately on what she was doing. He didn't move, just stayed still, relaxed wanting to watch what she wanted to do. Feeling powerful because for one time, she was leading the game, she took the courage and put her left hand on his large thigh, as if it was a casual innocent movement. She felt his muscle beneath the fabric of his trousers twitching under her touch for a while. Then she waited. He chuckled; it was a like a chess game. He slowly moved his left hand to touch her stomach. She held her breath for a while. He moved his face near to her earlobe and whispered "Ush!" than bit it softly. Goose bumps came on her skin and he smiled satisfied. He lifted his hand on her left arm caressing it all along. He was stimulated by this new game of seduction. He ran his left hand up to her shoulder, grabbing the strap of her tanktop and making it fall down. Then caressed her skin softly . His touch was so gently and sensual at the same time. It was so sensual. His hot breath near her ear, made her shiver more. She didn't want to lose her control, but her body wasn't listening to what her mind was telling her. He was literally driving her crazy when suddenly music stopped. The telephone was ringing. Stephanie slowly realised that, her brain coming out from a certain fog. They both stopped to do anything and paid attention on what was happening outside, trying to listen to what the man was saying. Then he hung up the phone, switched the light off and ran outside. They didn't move. The game was over. Their attention was back to outside the door trying to catch for every single sound. Then, when all seemed quiet: "Let's go" Riddick said. They immediately went out from their hideout. Stephanie tried to open the window. "No!" he warned her "the alarm is on! If you force or try to open it will start!" She looked at him in panic: "What shall we do?" "Have to find another exit" He slowly opened the door and looked outside. No one, and it was all dark. Perfect. "C'mon" he said and she followed him. They ran through the corridor. Till they found a door which leaded to a secondary stairs. They opened it and started to go fast down to join downstairs, when suddenly they heard voices of two men coming from the lower stair and their steps coming up to them. They looked at each other, Riddick waved his head as to tell her to go up, and both of them went fast up, till they joined the upper floor. Riddick joined the door which leaded to the corridor, turned the door-handle and leaned forward to check the situation outside, but suddenly a light coming from that corridor invaded their landing, and Riddick closed immediately the door. He searched for something on his pockets, but without seeming to find it. "What are you search...?" than she realised and looked at him worried: "Where are they?" "Cannot find" he simply said, furrowing his eyebrow. Than as he had realised something he leaned with his back against the wall his head bowing his head back and closing his eyes. An ironic smile appeared on his lips, than he made a bitter laugh. "Lost them" he simply said. "What?" she looked incredulous at him " Stop kidding me Riddick, it's not funny at all!" she said seriously worried. Sound of steps came closer. "left under the bed" he realised. "Noo!" said desperately Stephanie, taking her head in her hands and shaking it down. "Look" he continued, hearing the sound of the steps more closer. "Take this" he gave her the precious jewel. She looked at him furrowing her eyebrow not understanding. "Run. Run away. I'll stay here and figure out for something, so you'll have the time to escape". She looked at him incredulous: "You're saying to me to leave you here, are you?" He nodded. "Fuck you!" she said angry." I won't let you here. You'll come with me". "I never asked your advice. It's an order" he said tough. "No" she repeated "You come with me". "I can't". "No problem. I stay with you" she said quietly. He held her and pushed violently against the wall. His eyes shined dangerously in the dark. "You don't understand . That's not a game". Said Riddick angry. He didn't like that someone could contradict him wasting his time. "When they'll find you here, you'll be sent on Slam for the rest of your life. As long as Count Armagnac won't play certain games with you, once he'll had discovered you here." He said angrily. She swallowed, scared by his words. A little satisfied smile appeared on his lips and nodded watching her reaction. "See now? C'mon run away. I'll stop them in someway." He ended looking at her to see her doing what he wanted. "No" she said softly but firmly. He took out from his back pocket his shiv and put it menacingly under her neck. "Go. Or I kill you" his gaze cold like ice. Was he the same man with whom she was under the bed before? She was so scared by his reaction now. The blade of his shiv pulled against her soft skin. She had almost stop to breathe, but suddenly she reacted. "C'mon do it. Kill me. Isn't that what you wanted to do since the beginning? But I won't leave you here". He was very angry now. She could see it. He pressed a little more his shiv against her. "Shut up!" he said angrily. "Don't provoke me Ephie, I really can kill you." he whispered. "You come with me, or I stay" She whispered. They faced each other, both their eyes shone furiously. Steps were so near to them now. They had to be only two flights before them. They could clearly hear the two men's voices. His eyes shined dangerously, it was his animal side which had come out. But she wouldn't had changed her decision. "You jump, I jump remember? Well, you stay, I stay" she said whispering very low, afraid the two men could hear her. He was still there, staring her. Nothing could reveal his thoughts. "Not for me" he suddenly whispered, in a very low voice, most to himself, she wasn't sure what she'd heard and she didn't know the meaning. They still stood there like this, for a time which stretched into eternity up to Stephanie. Now the two men where on the flight just before them. Fortunately at their landing it was still dark, and this helped them hide more, but the two men were enlightening little by little they were going on, the secondary stairs; soon they would have been in light too. When she thought it was going to be too late he suddenly said: "C'mon. Drive me babe" keeping away the shiv from her throat. She touched her throat as a reaction and breathed a while. A red sign was left on her skin, and he looked at it for a while not regretting it at all. She nodded. Riddick closed his eyes and gave her, his hand. She held it firmly, than opened the door and both ran out, just in time, the light had switched on at their landing.
-----------------------------------------
They ran faster along the corridor when suddenly, they heard the sound of people laughing coming from the side. Stephanie quickly turned her head, looking around, trying to search a place where to hide them, when she noticed a small service room, she came near to it and tried to turn the door-handle, the door silently opened and she swiftly entered pulling him inside the narrow room. Inside, it was dark, only a small light passed under the door. She could barely see what there was around her, but from what she touched, she guessed there were shelves or something like that. "You can open you eyes, now" she told to Riddick. He slowly opened them and looked around, immediately studying the place. "Where are we" he asked her. "It's a service room" she explained "heard some voices coming toward us". He nodded. Someone outside stopped in front of their door. It was a woman, and she was saying goodbye to someone, her friend maybe. Than they heard the sound of some keys shaken. She was going to enter! "Good choice" he muttered her. Stephanie looked at Riddick with a questioning worried look. He gestured her to be silent and slowly he placed himself to what it would had been the back of the door. Once this woman entered, he'd had been hidden by the door. Than he gestured her to crouch down on one side in the darkness. She wasn't convinced by his decision: he was hidden, and she was not. The woman, would have discovered her immediately. But there was no more time, they heard the sound of the key entering the keyhole and turning it: "Oh! I forgot it opened!" she heard the woman outside saying and turned the door-handle. Stephanie immediately crouched down on one side. She was afraid. The woman entered inside the room, but before she could switch the light on, Riddick closed the door back to her and attacked her from the back immobilizing her. Stephanie watched the scene terrified, she heard the woman trying to shout, agitating and Riddick keeping her from doing it. She hoped only he wouldn't have killed the woman. Riddick was holding the lady's neck tightening. Stephanie widened her eyes scared, she was going to shout to stop him, when with a sudden move, Riddick made the lady collapsing on the floor leaving her down. Then very calmly as nothing had happened he stretched his hand to Stephanie, inviting her to stand up. She looked at him petrified. "You killed her" she said in a whisper. She was shocked. He looked at her for a while like if he was thinking to something, then he answered: " She's just sleeping. Let's go." underlining his words, waving his head indicating the door. His hand still opened to help her. She looked at him as to see any kind of feeling in his face, but nothing. His face like a mask. Than looked at his hand. He'd scared her. For a while, all her back fears had come out again, shocking her more than what he'd really done. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply as to chase away those thoughts. Than took his hand and stood up. She smiled at him, as to give herself new courage. "One day, you'll show me how you did it" she said to him, happy he hadn't killed the lady. He raised an eyebrow and grimaced. A kind of amused smile. "You really want to know?" "Yep". "Why?" he was amused by her sudden changed of feelings. "It's always helpful" she replied convinced. He made her turn herself, as her back was against his chest than grabbed her, barely pressing with his fingers on her throat, in a particular point. "but you have to press more, and for at least 15/20 seconds" he explained her. She nodded. His fingers still on her throat. "Try" He urged her and left the hold. She turned to face him. "How?" "On me" he explained her. "No, listen, I don't think I should do it no." she started. "You have to know, to feel under your fingers the right thing" he explained brisk. She looked at him uncertain, deciding as he was serious or just playing with her, then she breathed deeply: "Ok." She softly said. First she placed her uncertain hand on his throat. She felt so stupid and ridiculous. "You have to be back to me, to do it." He looked at her amused, making a bit fun of her. Then admitted "it's easier". She blushed a little shamed, and placed back to him. But seen that he was higher than she was, she climbed on a lower shelf and placed her arm around his throat, her fingers on what had to be the point he'd shown her before. She felt the throb of his vein under her fingers. "Like this?" she said. "Almost" he simply said. Not moving a muscle. She moved her fingers upper, near to his chin and pressed a little. Yes, it was this, she was certain now. "Like this?" she whispered softly in his ear. I have you in my power! She thought, smiling satisfied of herself . "Yes" he muttered, and before she could even perceive it, with almost a fast feline move, he had swiftly turned himself, grabbed her and made her lean down facing the floor, her arm kept turning by his hands on her back. He was over her. She tried to free herself unsuccessfully. "Understand?" he said smiling amused near to Stephanie's ear. "Yeees" she said with some difficulties. "Can we go now?" he asked her lifting his head up but still grabbing her down to the floor. He wasn't hurting her, just remembering her who leaded the game. She smiled and nodded. He slowly left his hold and stood up. She turned herself and made herself seated on the floor looking defiantly but also amused at him. He gave her his hand to help her standing up. "C'mon" he invited her. She stood up, held his hand and both of them went out to the service room.
