Riddick and Jack had decided to spend the night together in Jack's cabin. The y lay down together, his arm around her waist, snuggling her tightly. The feeling for her was warmth, safety. Riddick was feeling. The very thought was new for him. Emotions and feelings weren't exactly common for him. He had become who he was by being indifferent. Jack had entered his life like a lighthouse, guiding him to safety. He wanted to feel more for her. He wasn't quite sure if what he felt was love, but he decided it must be pretty damn near.
Jack lay awake, her mind to active to fall asleep. Just that morning, she had been fixing her ship with no knowledge that Riddick would ever again enter her life. The very thought of him was still full of mystery. But he had shown up, right there. At first she thought it was surely her mind playing tricks on her but now, as she gripped him tight, she knew it was real. A flutter filled her stomach for a short moment. It was followed quickly by an ache after she realized that Riddick was leaving soon. Her eyes misted over knowing that she was about to loose him again, possibly for good this time. She rolled over in the bed and stared at him. He seemed to be sleeping peacefully. The mercury of his eyes was shielded by the soft skin of his eyes lids. She felt the urge to lean over and kiss them, for him to know that she was there and she wasn't about to leave, but she knew that if she did, he'd probably wake up. And figuring this was one of his most peaceful nights, she let him sleep. At ease, she shut her eyes and waited for sleep to come and take her away.
***Riddick's Dream***
The light from the three suns fell upon them all, bathing them in a yellow and blue glow. Riddick stood with his back pressed to the torn hull of the space ship. He could hear them all talking on the other side but he had just escaped his restraints, so he wasn't about to venture over there. His mind was a bit foggy and he didn't know quite why. He heard Carolyn exit the ship so he turned his attention back to the group.
"Three suns?", Jack questioned in disbelief.
"Bloody Hell", a stunned Shazza commented.
"So much for your nightfall", Riddick heard Zeke say with his throaty accent.
"So much for my cocktail hour", the British man spoke up.
"We take this as a good sign. A path, a direction from Allah. Blue sun, blue water", the Holy man said and Riddick smiled. What a fucking lost cause religion was, in his opinion anyway.
"Ever wonder why I'm an atheist?", Zeke said and caused Riddick to crack a grin. The man was on to something there.
"Bit of a bad sign, "Johns started, pulling in Riddick's full attention, "That's Riddick's direction." Riddick was forced to suppress his growing anger. Johns knew him well. Prick.
"I thought you found his restraints over there," her heard Carolyn say slowly. She wasn't the brightest person on the planet.
"Right, which means he went towards sunrise", Johns explained a bit impatiently. Riddick tuned their conversation out for a moment. Johns... He was going to kill that fucking prick one day. Who made him fucking King of the Universe? No one. Riddick decided it was up to him to put Johns in his place. That being solved he tuned back into the conversation.
"Safety's on one shot if you spot him, okay?", the blue eyed devil questioned someone from the group. Riddick could slightly hear Zeke respond.
"What happens if Mr. Riddick spots us first?", the British man questioned.
"There will be no shots", Johns said flatly. Riddick would rip his limbs right then and there given the chance. Backing away from the ship, Riddick headed toward the blue sun, hoping to reach the group's destination before they did. He hid from sight using the dunes, and reached the bone yard before they did. He found an empty space, big enough for him to crawl into and lay, unnoticed. He heard the group approaching, with the Arabian boys screaming something he didn't understand, didn't care to understand either.
His mind was feeling groggier than before and his vision was starting to blur. He shut his eyes to try and regain complete control of his vision but when he opened them he found that he was no longer in the bone yard. He was in a circle of people, surrounded by darkness. He was moving closer to Jack. She had been whimpering and was now crying full force.
"Don't you cry for johns, don't you dare", he said simply and walked ahead. His vision was getting progressively worse with each step. Again closing his eyes, he opened them to find that he was now face to face with the beasts that were trying to kill them all. He found his head following the animal's, trying to stay in it's blind spot. Almost completely blind, he missed step with the beast and it bit into the crook of his neck and he screamed so loud the darkness came again.

Jack had been asleep for a little while when Riddick's loud scream woke her up. She turned over to him, completely scared out of her wits. He lay there wide-eyed and breathing heavily. His hands were tangled into the sheets. Jack slid closer to him and put her hand on his shoulder. Riddick jumped at the touch, but quickly realized it was Jack.
"Riddick", she whispered slowly, "Are you alright?"
"Fine...I just had a nightmare. That was it."
"C'mere", she said sadly, seeing how shaken up he was. Jack put her arms around him and held him close. Riddick smelled her hair; the scent of roses was faint. He gripped onto her, grateful that she was there and that she was offering herself to him. The nightmares came often, but this was the first time he felt safe after one. The others usually came while he was in slam and there was no one to comfort him there, except for the darkness he was so much a part of and so terrified of.

Jack and Riddick slept arm in arm the whole night through. Riddick slept peaceful with no more nightmares causing him to lash out. Jack slept a dreamless sleep, grateful for that. Jack woke up first and decided to let Riddick sleep, knowing he would wake up soon, but letting him enjoy his last few minutes. She sat up in bed and stretched, emitting a yawn that racked her body. She stood up and pulled her nightie over her head. Riddick, sensing movement, opened his eyes and gazed over at Jack. She was naked and softly glowing with the morning light coming through the thick plexi-glass window. He smiled to himself, imagining running his hands down her, making her feel as good as she made him feel.
Jack sensed him feeling her with his eyes. She did not turn for fear of ruining the moment. Reaching a hand behind her, she undid her ponytail and let her hair slide down her back. If he was going to watch she might as well give him a show. She let out a soft groan as she stretched again, shaking her head back and reaching her arms toward the ceiling. Riddick licked his lips knowing he couldn't very well take much more of it. Jack turned her head to view him over her shoulder. He stared back into her eyes. Riddick lie flat on his back and motioned for Jack to come to him. She step closer and stopped just before the bed. Using both her hands, she rubbed her chest and her waist, appearing to be pleasuring herself. Riddick couldn't stand it any longer as he felt himself growing hard. The sheet was rising up with him, so instead of her seeing that, he sat up and pulled her naked body to him.
Her breasts surrounded his shaved face and he breathed in her scent. His tongue caressed her, circling her nipples and moving up her chest and throat, to her mouth. He kissed her exploring her mouth with his tongue. She moved her hands around his back and grabbed his ass full force, pushing him in to her. Jack backed away for a second, long enough to peel away the sheet that was separating them. She climbed onto him, straddling him and used her hands to guide his extremely large and hard member into her. Before sliding him in, she gave him a few strokes, enough to make him yelp. He couldn't take it, he needed to have her. He grabbed her breasts and massaged them as they rocked in one fluid motion, always together, always on time. Sweat began to rub between the two, as the room was getting steamier by the second. Jack could feel him searching around in side of her, occasionally hitting her most sensitive spot, making her see stars. He exploded in her just as she reached her climax, digging her nails into his back.
"Jack!", he cried out.
"Riddick", she whimpered. They both calmed from their orgasms, with his member still inside her. Neither of them had the heart to separate, because they knew they both felt the connection.
"Jack?"
"Yes, Riddick?"
"I...I love you", he said in his seductive voice, full of emotion.
"I love you too, Riddick", she whispered into his ear, "I love you too."
