The walk to Raven's room was quiet, whether it was because they really were tired or the past events had done a number on them. Skye rubbed the back of her head where it had come into fierce contact with the wall. It wasn't hurting much any more unless it was touched but her mind was still fuzzy and her 'sense' was out of whack. She didn't notice Riddick had stopped until she was halfway down the hall. Turning around to see where he was she saw the look on his face. His goggles were still on his forehead and Skye could see something flickering in his eyes. He looked almost sad.
"Riddick, what's wrong?" He looked to the ground but quickly met her gaze again.
"I hurt you." Kind of a question but more of a comment. Skye realized that Riddick had seen her rubbing her head.
"It's not your fault. Don't worry." Skye really didn't blame him and she hoped it sounded that way. Riddick shook his head as he made his way to her.
"Someone always gets hurt," he mumbled as he walked past her. Skye didn't know what to say and she figured if she did, it wouldn't make much of a difference. She followed him but kept her distance, counting down the room numbers as she went. Raven's room was coming up.
"Riddick, the next room is Raven's," she called out but he didn't slow and passed right by. "Oh no you don't." She ran to catch up to him, grabbed his arm and pulled him back to the room. There wasn't much resistance on his part. "We need to talk." She decided right then and there that she was going to lay it all out on the table. He needed to know what she was feeling and more than anything; she needed to know what he was feeling.
Once in the room Riddick went right to the table and sat heavily in the chair. Skye took a deep breath and moved the other chair in front of him and sat down. He wouldn't meet her eyes but she'd give him that for now.
"Riddick," she started in a soft tone. "Life sucks as I'm sure you know but it's not all bad. Maybe it'd be easier to deal with if it was but it's not. I know you're feeling things you haven't had to in a long time and I also know that you don't want to but you're not locked up in Slam anymore so I think it's time to deal with it." Riddick took off his goggles the rest of the way and gently set them on the table. Skye was startled to see his anger was more in check than she thought it would be. "I'm having to deal with feelings I've never had to before so I know how hard it is." Riddick finally looked up, his shine catching the dim light sending a rainbow of colors flashing in his eyes.
"What feelings?" he asked curiously. Skye swallowed hard.
"My feelings for you." It was her turn to look away. "I have no experience with men and I've never been told how it's supposed to be…"
"Could've fooled me," Riddick cut in. The way she kissed and moved against him screamed experience. Skye detected a strange tone in his voice as if he didn't believe her.
"Look, every time you're around, my body starts reacting and I can't breathe. My body knows what it wants so it goes for it but my mind is always one step behind and it's a little scary. My mind is usually the faster of the two." Riddick leaned forward, resting his arms on his knees. Skye took a deep breath before continuing, trying to keep up her courage. "You're the only one I really trust, the only one I truly feel safe with. I feel so connected with you that when you're too far away, I feel pain," she put a hand over her heart, "right here." Riddick shifted a little making Skye hesitate. She couldn't read him at all and that was frustrating but she was almost through with her little speech so she continued. "I respect you, I admire you…" she paused and dared to look him straight in his eyes. "I love you."
Riddick sat there unmoving, staring right back at her. It was all out now and she waited for a reaction. At this point she would take any kind of reaction. She couldn't hold this weight on her shoulders anymore; she just needed to know either way, good or bad.
Skye's words slammed into Riddick but instead of knocking him back, they froze him in place. His heart pounded painfully against the restraints of his ribs as he tried to make sense of the sudden feeling of emotion that washed over him. Riddick has never heard those words directed to him before and he assumed if he had, he would feel nothing but he was wrong. A warmth slowly spread through his body as a flutter started in the pit of his stomach. He wasn't going to fight it but he didn't know how to go along with it either.
As the temperature of his body sky-rocketed, he stood up. Skye leaned back in her chair looking unsure of herself suddenly regretting telling him anything.
"You know, I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry." Skye got up and started to move away from him but Riddick grabbed her by the arm and pulled her flush with his body. She let out a breath of surprise as his lips covered hers. Now she was glad she told him everything.
The heat from his mouth flooded hers and quickly moved through the rest of her body. Tears she had been holding back finally broke through and slid unhindered down her cheeks. Riddick's hands moved over her back progressing lower until he tasted her tears. He pulled back and saw that she was crying. Fresh tears glittered on her eyelashes before being set free. Riddick gently wiped them away with his thumbs and smiled at her. A genuine smile full of feeling and emotion.
He moved in again and kissed her deeply, moving his lips over hers, playing with her tongue with his own eager tongue. She moaned quietly as her hands traveled up his chest. Her tears were forgotten as the tingle started up between her thighs. Skye pushed into him making him take a step back and continued pushing until Riddick's back hit the wall. He liked her aggressiveness and that made him bring the kiss to a more intense level; feeling her sway in his arms.
Riddick's soft lips moved from her mouth and burned a wet path over her jaw and down her neck. She gripped his shirt as he nibbled his way to the sensitive spot. Gently sucking, Riddick got the response he was looking for. Skye moved her body against his encouraging parts of him to stand at attention. Immediately noticing, Skye let one of her hands drift down his chest, raking her nails over the muscles of his stomach and squeezed into the very little space between them to work him up a little more. As her hand ran up his hardened length Riddick bit down on her neck. Skye cried out in pleasure and gripped him hard, which made him pull back.
His eyes were slightly glazed over as he watched her. She didn't remove her hand and started stroking him through his pants. Skye looked over his features slowly, mesmerized by the slightest expressions he made as her hand worked him. He licked his lower lip; drawing her attention to it and sending an electric shiver right to the core of her. Riddick's head rested back against the wall as he tried to control his breathing. Skye rested her cheek on his chest and listened to the pounding of his heart. She wasn't sure she could restrain herself anymore; her body wanted him so bad so she just let it take over. As usual her mind was one step behind but was enjoying it all the same.
Pulling back and releasing him, she put a little distance between them. Riddick moved from the wall looking a little disappointed but a smile formed on his lips when he noticed Skye reaching for the hem of her shirt. This time she wasn't nervous when she pulled the shirt over her head. She was wearing a bra this time but it didn't stop his eyes from wandering over her body. Riddick copied her movement and took his shirt off. They both stood and admired each other for a moment.
Hooking her fingers in the waist of her pants, Skye slowly pulled the material down over her hips, past her thighs, and to the floor. Riddick watched as she kicked off her shoes and stepped away from her clothes. It took all his effort to stand still; the sight of her skin was bringing out the animal. His breathing was harsh and shallow as he decided to let her govern the pace. If he did it his way, it would be over by now.
Riddick kicked his own shoes off and took a tentative step forward and when Skye stood her ground, he took another. Skye watched Riddick move noting how sleek and graceful he was. 'Spotting his prey, the predator moves with slow and deliberate steps, timing his attack with precision'. She almost laughed at the thought but it turned her on, big time.
Riddick moved up to her until they were almost touching. He couldn't believe how much control he was in considering her scent had filled him completely. Breathing heavy and trembling all over, Skye reached up and placed the palm of her hand over his heart. The beat was fast and steady, thumping against her hand. Without realizing Riddick had moved, she felt his hands caress her hips, tickling lightly then resting heavily on them. Skye's free hand joined her other and began exploring his chest and shoulders. His muscles flexed underneath his skin as she touched him, bringing out the animal in her.
Sliding her arms around his neck, she pulled him to her lips and kissed him with a newfound hunger. He tasted so good, so sweet and warm. Her senses fired to life and touching or not, she could feel him all over, inside and out, in her mind and soul.
Riddick's fingers followed the line of her panties around to the back and slipped beneath them. As she sighed and kissed him deeper, her left hand moved down his arm, feeling his soft skin all the way to his wrist. Gripping firmly she moved his hand up to the hooks of her bra. Riddick pulled back enough to talk when he realized what she wanted.
"You sure?" he asked, his voice deep and husky.
"Yea," she breathed. With his one hand and a quickness Skye wasn't expecting, Riddick had unhooked her bra. The straps slid teasingly slow down her arms and dropped to the floor. Skye wrapped her arms around him again and pressed her body to his, her nipples tightening when her skin touched his skin. Their lips caressed each other but they didn't kiss only adding to the intensity of the situation.
Skye found his wrists again and guided them back down to her hips, urging him to remove her panties. With a growl deep in his chest, he pulled them down until they dropped to the floor.
"Looks like you're still a little over-dressed," Skye purred against his neck. "Want some help?" Without waiting for an answer she dipped her fingers into his pants and pulled him to the bed, popping the button and opening the zipper on the way. His pants fell to the floor and he kicked out of them as Skye fell back onto the bed. Cocking an eyebrow as she looked over his naked form, she smiled. "I had my thoughts on…" she trailed off, her gazed focused on his erection. "But that's impressive."
Like a big cat, Riddick crawled up to her, trailing a hand up her leg as he moved, eyes watching wherever his hand touched. He planted little kisses up her stomach and stopped on the nearest nipple, teasing it with his tongue. Skye arched up to him forcing her nipple into his mouth. He held the hardened peak between his teeth and sucked rougher than he had the first time he had done it on Eric's ship, causing her to gasp and moan. Reluctantly releasing her sweet skin, Riddick moved up the bed and looked her in the eyes.
"Tell me what you want, Skye." His voice was like a wave of pleasure washing over her.
"Touch me," she whispered.
"Where?" he asked, wanting her to tell him specifics. Skye found his hand and moved it down her body, slipping it between her legs.
"Here," she whispered again. Riddick kissed her neck trying to distract himself from the sudden sensation that stabbed through his groin at feeling how hot she was. He turned his barely contained moan into a question.
"Here?" he asked keeping his hand where she had put it. "Or here?" He slipped a finger between her silky folds and came in contact with her swollen clit. Skye's body jumped at the new feeling his fingers created.
"Yea, there," she gasped. Riddick smiled against her neck. He knew a man had never touched her like this before and he was about to show her what she had been missing out on. Moving his fingers slowly, her body began to writhe with the rhythm he created. He kept his lips against her neck feeling her blood pulsing through her veins, his own blood running hot.
It took Skye a second to realize Riddick had moved his hand from her and rolled on top, leaning most of his weight on his arms. No man has gotten this far with her and she was suddenly afraid. He noticed the look and hesitated.
"You all right?" he asked gently. "We don't have to." Skye shook her head.
"No, I want to, I'm just nervous you know, about it hurting." Riddick lowered his body to hers and kissed her.
"I'll be careful but it still might hurt," he said pulling back. "You still want to?" Skye saw concern flash in his eyes.
"If doing this is gonna hurt regardless of how careful you are, I want it to be you that does it." Riddick felt his manhood twitch at her acceptance to all this.
"You tell me if you need me to stop and I will." Skye nodded in understanding, pulling him close and kissing him deeply. She scratched her nails down his body and spread her legs as she went. Riddick positioned his body between her thighs just as she grabbed him. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes as she stroked him. Skye was amazed by the way he felt, so hard and thick in her hand. It intrigued her that she could get that kind of reaction out of a man.
Riddick's eyes fluttered open when he felt a strong stirring in his groin. Taking her hand from him, he placed it on his chest.
"Do you feel my heart?" he asked. Skye nodded, pressing her hand to his chest. "You're the first who has." Her eyes went from her hand on his chest to his eyes. The silver glow was trained on her almost asking permission.
Arching her back, bringing the wet heat between her legs into contact with his hard steel, they both inhaled sharply at the same time. A sleek smile spread over his beautiful lips as he reached down to see if she was ready and he nearly lost it when he felt just how ready she was. Moving as slowly as his body would allow, Riddick slid into her, feeling her tense with every push. Her breathing was coming out quick but it wasn't from pleasure and the pained expression she wore put Riddick in motion.
Wrapping an arm around her he rolled to his back, taking Skye with him in an effort to ease the pressure. She kept her hand over his heart and snuggled into his neck.
"Better?" he asked in a voice that was husky and filled with extreme desire.
"Uh-huh," she managed to say. Her eyes were filling with tears from the pain and she did her best to hold it back. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, take your time." His body contradicted his words as his cock pulsed almost painfully inside her, trying to resist the urge to pull out and push back in.
Skye kissed her way up his neck to his lips, the pain easing away and turning into a steady delicious throb between her legs. Their tongues played a game of give and take and she just realized how good he was at this kissing thing. He expertly sucked on her tongue bringing her closer to climax then she'd ever been.
"Riddick, I'm close," she cried out, pulling away from him. 'Wow' he thought as he rolled them back over and pulled almost all the way out before pushing back in. There was little resistance now and pleasure waves washed over them both. "Oh, God!"
Amazingly enough, Riddick was close himself. He slowed his movements as Skye wrapped her legs around him, noticing her hand was still over his heart. It was then that he finally understood what she was talking about earlier. Her connection with him was mutual. He knew every move she would make, just how close she was to climax, exactly where she wanted to be touched, and what she thought of him. Just like she had her 'sense', he, in a way had a 'sense' when it came to her.
He angled his movements to increase the pressure on her clit which proved to be exactly what she wanted.
"Oh my God!" she screamed as she threw her head back. Her vision swam as the first indications of her release swept through her belly. Riddick felt a sudden rush of wetness between her legs as he moved. He placed a hand over her heart and leaned in close.
"Come for me baby," he purred. Just the sound of his voice and those words was all she needed to let go. He kept up the slow and steady pace, pushing hard against her on the in-stroke. Skye tensed in his arms and held her breath. 'That's it, baby' he thought as she tightened even more around his cock. After a few seconds, Skye let out the breath she was holding and gasped for air as her body shook with a very powerful orgasm.
"Riddi…" was all she could get out. It was the attempt at his name in the throes of release and her spasms that pushed him over the edge. With a violent jerk his hot seed was sent deep inside her and after what seemed like forever, he collapsed on top of her in exhaustion, both physically and emotionally.
Skye wrapped her arms around him and held him close, listening to his breathing as it slowed down, running her hands over his back and shoulders. He let out a contented sigh and kissed her on the neck, slow and lazy like.
"Mmmm, Riddick that was…" she started.
"Yea, it was." Knowing what she was thinking made him feel strange. He slipped out of her and rolled to his back. Skye propped up on her elbow and moved up to his side. She watched him carefully, trying to figure out what he was feeling.
Riddick's eyes were closed and his breathing was back to normal. He looked so peaceful and relaxed that Skye just watched him. She wanted to ask if the sex was as good for him as it was for her but she didn't.
"Don't worry Skye," the sound of his voice startling her. "It was great," he finished. Riddick's head rolled to the side and he opened his eyes just enough to see her. Skye's mouth dropped open as he spoke. It was like he had read her mind, which he more or less did. He gave her a sleepy smile and she returned it before kissing him on the lips. Resting her head on his shoulder, her hand once again on his heart; Riddick wrapped her in the safety of his arms and they both drifted off to a dreamless sleep.
