Chapter 5

If there was anything that could tear into me and wound me like a that...

It was Jack.

That sudden unexpected hug just completely blew my mind. It was something that I never thought would hit me, like a steal battering ram crashing head first into my stone like heart.

How did she do it?

Somehow.. Just in that simple embrace I lost myself..

I suddenly felt weak, as thou my breath had been taken from my body and all I could do was gasp. In all my years I've never ONCE been shown that kind of affection.

And if that wasn't bad enough... Jack actually thanked me..

For what?

I'm not used to bein' thanked. Fuck I haven't done anything but cause her pain. I don't know what the fuck that kid sees in me. Shit she's the only one so far... Besides the Holy Man.

That right there is a real kick in the nuts. Even after every one of those boys died, that man CONTINUED believin' someone was watchin' over him.

Now that man had a steal cage molded into the lining of his faith. I thought a couple of times I saw it waver, but of course he shut my ass up real quick by provin' me wrong.

I don't deserve havin' these two people in my life. I haven't done them any justice. Yeah I may have taken 'em off that planet, but it wasn't by choice..

Fuck if it wasn't for that crazy bitch Fry givin' her life for the last person in this universe that even remotely deserves it, they'd be long dead now.

God has a fucked up sense of humor...

The more I look at her, the more I fall.

Who'da thought.... Richard B. Riddick, the biggest and bad'est killer in the known universe goes soft towards some kid...

I'll be damned if someone ever fuckin' tries any shit with her again. Jack may be a big girl, but she better remember that once I've claimed something', there ain't no turnin' back.

That's right, Jack's my girl now.

And I don't give two fucks for anyone who even thinks otherwise.


Riddick sat back against the wall as Jack slept peacefully in his arms. He hadn't had the heart to move after she latched herself to him. If anything he wanted to cherish however long it lasted before she woke up.

The dark sky began to bask in the first rays of dawn. Causing a spectrum of light to dance about the heavens in dark blue and purple hues.

His mind filled with thoughts of the file he had found on this planet...


Planet Sevorion, named after the first clansman of a mining colony.

Sevorion is much like the Milky Way's Jupiter, having one known satellite that is three times larger then Earth's moon.

Sevorion however, has been left to question by many star travelers.

Traveling at the same distance and rotation as Earth does from its star, Sevorion is filled with vast oceans and life. Making it most suitable for colonists.

Three hundred years ago, a mining company looking for rare mineral deposits found themselves at this huge water planet.

They landed on the most lit part of the planet, deemed the Leviathan Sector. Filled with endless jungles that spewed out into the Western Ocean, it was ideal area to do research.

But suddenly, after perhaps twenty years of hard work, the company discontinued supply ships. Leaving the few fifty minors to their fate.

Nothing has been reported since then, leaving many travelers to avoid any contact with the planet.

And those that have been brave enough to venture into Sevorion have never made it out..

Alive.


"Riddick..?"

A soft voice pulled him from his thoughts, he glanced down and met the most beautiful smile.

"I'm here." Riddick purred while brushing the length of her hair with his hand.

"How long have I been out?" She asked with a yawn.

"A couple hours."

Jack sat up and stretched, making small squeaks as she felt her bones poke and snap.

Riddick held a hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth as he watched. She looked incredibly sexy with that oversized black shirt and that mess of waist length hair.

"What?" Jack asked raising a curious brow.

Letting out a soft chuckle he merely shook his head and leaned forward, nearly brushing his lips against hers.

"You're killin' me kid."

Jack felt her heart stop..

She hadn't expected him to get so close to her. Taking a deep breath she slowly pulled back, not that she wanted to, it was just too close.

'Holy Mary Mother of Mothballs! Does he ALWAYS have to pull something like that?? He's gunna make me die of frustration!'

"Killin' you? You feelin' ok Riddick?" Jack patted his head mockingly.

"Yea you're real innocent Jack." He smirked looking down at her stitch job.

She followed his gaze and found all things funny to just die a horrible death. If it wasn't bad enough his gaze met hers, nearly killing her.

So much.. Emotion.. As if someone she had never seen was looking back at her for the first time.

"You sure know how to kill a conversation." She huffed crossing her arms firmly against her chest, only to flinch as a stab of pain hit her wrists.

"Owe! Fuck!" Jack hissed angrily.

"You gotta be careful Jack, that ain't gunna heal over night."

"Yea? Well whatever, it still fuckin' hurts."

'Good one Jack, like that made any bloody sense. Dumb ass.' She snarled at herself and sighed. Basically admitting to defeat.

Riddick let out a low laugh that seemed to rumble from his powerful chest and dance into her thoughts.

"You never know when to quite do you?"

Jacks eyes snapped in his direction. "You never know when to quite do you.." She repeated mocking him..

Riddick glared at her with a raised brow.

"Oh we're playin' a game are we?"

Jack didn't break the stare, she purposely glared into his liquid metal eyes. No one ever could get her to look away, even if it was Billy bad ass himself.

Riddick closed in, his arms now on either side of her legs. He slowly hovered over her body, like a Panther hunting its prey.

Jack didn't move, the only thing she could do was lean completely flat against the bed.

'What's he up to?'

Jack continued to watch him, her eyes filled with curiosity. Riddick seemed different, as if he had morphed into a REALLY BIG kitty.

She found herself gazing in awe at the power behind every rippling muscle of his upper body. How he seemed to wield a strength of a thousand men.

"Jack? Wake up." He growled pressing against her.

Snapping away from her thoughts she looked into his gaze wide eyed. Jack hadn't noticed that his legs were set firmly between hers.

A devious smile devoured his lips as he leaned into her, causing a small gasp to escape her mouth.

'Oh my god he's...'

Her mind suddenly fell short as Riddick placed his face at the nape of her neck, his hot breath dancing against her smooth skin.

He took slow deep breaths, savoring every piece of her scent.

Playful waves of pleasure swam through her veins as he pulled back to look into her eyes. She felt as thou he had kissed every inch of her body with rose petals.

"You're too easy Jack." Riddick grinned and rolled off.

A whirlwind of anger drenched her mind as she realized he was just teasing her.

"You ass!" She howled slapping him on the arm with everything she had.

Finding this all too amusing Riddick roared with a boom of laughter. It was just too much to contain as Jack assaulted his arm with all her strength. To her dismay he barely flinched let alone felt it.

"You are soo lucky I'm still in pain!" Jack growled pulling her hands away, "I would have really kicked your ass!"

Riddick sat up and looked at her with a proud grin on his face, "I seriously doubt that babe."

"Ass.." She grumbled and jumped off the bed.

Seeing red she rushed into the small bathroom at the very right end of the room and slammed the door shut.

"Fucker.. God he pisses me off!"

Ripping off the remainder of her clothes she stood naked before the mirror. Her large blue green eyes moved along the lines of her curves only to stop at the nasty scar on her stomach.

"So ugly.." She murmured sadly before turning towards the shower.

"Jack can I come in?"

Riddick asked peaking through the door and stopped as Jack was bent over into the shower...

Buck ass naked...

"RICHARD B. RIDDICK!"

Jack screamed trying to cover herself with a towel. Riddick shook his head and slid into the bathroom shutting the door behind him.

"Relax, it's not like I haven't seen a naked woman before."

"But you haven't seen me naked!"

"And?"

By this time Riddick was leaning against the sink with his arms crossed. And no matter what Jack said she knew he wasn't going to budge.

"What do you want?" Jack snapped turning her back to him.

"Wanted to know if you'd like some company."

Her eyes widened at his words and felt her heart want to leap from her chest.

'Calm down girl, he wouldn't hurt you.. It's Riddick remember?' She assured herself trying to keep her mind in check.

"I don't know... I guess.."

"You guess?" Riddick's deep sultry voice slithered down her spine and rested in her stomach unleashing a swarm of butterflies.

Jack furrowed her brow when she realized his voice was right behind her. She spun around and stopped short.. Dropping her towel..

There he stood... Without anything to confine his manhood.. Riddick smiled down at her surprised face that seemed to glow red from embarrassment.

"Cat got your tongue?" He mused putting a finger to her chin and gently closed her mouth.

"You're..." Jack stammered unable to look him in the face.

"Yes I'm naked, and so are you."

His eyes roamed her body then, drinking in every beautiful curve of her bare assets. Her pale skin shimmered under the dim yellow light hanging above them.

"Doesn't the light bother you?" She asked changing the subject.

"Naw, it's dim light. Besides, I want you to see me."

He seemed so gentle suddenly, the way his body began to emit small waves of tenderness towards her. It felt so.. Good.. So safe.. Even thou they were both at their most vulnerable, it felt normal..

"Hot, warm, cold?" He asked softly moving to her side flipping on the water.

"Warm." She replied calmly.

Riddick let a warm smile dance across his face as they stepped into the shower.

It was pretty big, large enough to fit at least four broad shouldered men comfortably. On either side of the tile walls were two shower heads side by side. So there was no way you'd step out of this shower without getting drenched.

Well the house she had occupied was built to room at least four men to a room. Why such a big place built for so many workers had been left abandoned Riddick couldn't stomach.

For now, he would help Jack wash her back and anything else she asked of him.

Jack went to reach for the shampoo that sat beneath the shower heads but was stopped by a large hand before the water hit her skin.

"Wha...?"

"You can't get those wet babe, they need to stay dry." Riddick cut her off and brought her hands close to his chest.

"Oh.. I forgot.."

"Why do you think I'm in here with you? Besides having the excuse of seeing you naked?"

He chimed with that famous Riddick grin.

A bright smiled flashed across her face as she let out a soft laugh. "Alright Riddick you got me there, just no funny business, got it?"

"Got it." He smiled and helped her back into the warm stream of water.

She closed her eyes and sighed softly as the water engulfed her smaller frame in a river of warmth. It felt really good to have the soothing liquid wash away all the stress.

'I hope you can do this old man, or she's gunna know you've got it bad.' He growled to himself looking down at his waist.

"Ok Jack I'm gunna need you to walk forward and turn around."

Keeping her eyes closed she nodded and stepped forward. Her feet stumbling over each other as she slowly turned her back to him.

Quickly he put the shampoo in his large hands and began lathering up her hair. Riddick made sure he got every strand before instructing her to turn back to him.

"Now I'm gunna need you to trust me and just lean back. Make sure your hands are out and you keep those pretty eyes closed."

Jack did so and leaned back, and coughed a bit as the soapy water invaded her face.

He chuckled, "Sorry bout that."

She just grumbled as he rinsed her mane thoroughly of all the shampoo. Slowly he pulled her back up and found her pressed firmly against his chest. He had to swallow the massive lump in his throat as he fought his primal urges.

'Down boy or I'll cut you off.' He threatened and suddenly it lost all interest.

"Ok now what?" He asked as she wiped her eyes.

"Conditioner." She smiled and pointed to the other bottle behind her.

Riddick raised a brow as he took the bottle into his hands. "And what do I do with this?"

"You put it in your hands, massage from the bottom of my hair to the top and then rinse it out."

"But I just did that." He stated slightly annoyed.

"It makes my hair soft. It's a Chic thing Riddick." She laughed and turned her back to him.

He shrugged and once more, repeated the process but made a face when it didn't lather.

"I don't think it's workin' kid."

"It's not supposed to lather like soap, it's like lotion. You put it in and then rinse most of it out."

He shook his head with a sigh and helped her lean back so he could rinse the conditioner from her hair.

"I'll never understand women."

"Well you wouldn't because you shave your head, dork." Jack laughed as he pulled her back up.

"Ok now I'm gunna lather you up, wanna do somethin' with that hair?"

Jack chuckled and pulled her hair up into a bun, and magically, got it to stay put. Riddick tilted his head and smirked in approval.

"Alright, scrub me down." Jack grinned.

Grabbing the sponge like scrunchy in his hands, he poured a small amount of lavender smelling soap onto it's flower like petals and began lathering it up and down her arms.

Jack let out a soft giggle as he moved it up and down her sides, but her smile melted away when he made his way to her breasts.

Very slowly he used small circles about the medium mounds that moved up and down as she breathed. He could sense her discomfort and finished by sliding his way down her stomach and towards her thighs.

It was becoming so incredibly hard not to take her right there as he placed his hands between her legs and lathered her most sacred of things. She let out a soft whimper as he made quick work of that sensitive area and finished the rest of her quivering legs..

'He's gunna be the death of me..' She thought nearly breathless.

"Ok baby turn around." A husky voice instructed as he stood back up to face her.

With innocent eyes she nodded and turned.

'It's almost over Riddick, keep your cool.'

Riddick let his hands lather every inch of her backside as quickly as he could and led her to the rushing water.

Once rinsed off she stepped away from the water and stole the scrunchy from his hands and smiled. Riddick just gave her a look of confusion.

"My turn." She purred in a low voice and slid behind him.

Taking a deep breath he closed his eyes as her hands trailed over every muscle of his beautiful back. He let himself enjoy the feeling of her hands scrubbing at his well defined muscles, stopping every once in awhile to run her small fingers over the smooth skin.

"You must work out like a horse to be this toned." She thought aloud as she moved her hands to his waist.

"I was born like this." Riddick chuckled sarcastically.

"Shuttup you're ruining the moment." Jack spat and turned him around.

"Don't get those wrists wet."

"I won't."

Jack stopped and took a moment to look into his eyes.

They stood there, gazing into each other with an understanding no one else would ever fathom. As the water continued free falling to the tiled floor she slowly moved her hands about his chest.

Starting from the right bicep that suddenly jumped causing her to squeak.

Riddick smirked as she laughed hitting him playfully with scrunchy. "Great you can make your Man Boobies dance."

"They ain't boobies, they're manly pecks."

"Whatever.. If they're bigger then mine, which it looks like they are.." She choked with laughter. "Then they're boobies."

A deep laughter poured passed his smiling mouth as she looked down at her own breasts and shook her head before moving her hands to his arm and stopped.

"God I'm sorry Riddick." Jack looked down feeling the guilt rip at her heart.

He furrowed his brow and gently laid his hand over hers.

"It wasn't you Jack." He replied softly getting her to look at him.

His voice was a beautiful dream that took over her thoughts and pushed her to the edge. A perfect warmth that overwhelmed her soul with the sweetest of intentions.

'Don't say it Jack, don't you fucking dare.' She thought quickly shutting herself up.

Jack slipped her hands away from his and washed the rest of his upper body. She stopped when her hands got the very edge of his stomach.

"Ok you can finish." She murmured handing him the scrunchy refusing to look down.

Riddick chuckled, "What? Afraid he's gunna bite ya?"

A look of total fear swept over her face as she took a step back. She suddenly felt like she had to run, to hide.

He could smell the fear slam into his senses like a tidal wave. No one would have that kind of reaction unless... Oh fuck no..

Riddick turned away from her and cleaned the rest of his body before stepping under the water and rinsing himself off. Once he was done, he shut the water off and escorted a very different Jack out of the shower.

'That fucker touched her..' His beast growled with rage as he handed her a towel.

Her usually bright aura now consumed with fear and silence. She suddenly became this fragile child trying desperately to hide her emotions from him.

"Jack.."

She knew why his voice became concerned. He had seen the sudden shame that washed over her.

"Yea Riddick I know.. What happened right? Did that piece of shit touch me when I got shiv'd?" She murmured leaning against the sink with her eyes set on the floor.

"Yes Riddick.. I was raped.. He's dead now so don't worry about it."

His heart felt like it had been stabbed with a white hot dagger, ripping into the very core of his being. He didn't know what to say to that..

He suddenly felt.. Guilty..

"I don't want any sympathy big guy, I just.. I'm not as innocent as you thought."

The sound of her voice just about shot down every ounce of anger he had. All he could think of was to hold her in his arms.

So he did..

Jack's eyes widened as she was suddenly pulled into his arms.

'What the..?' Her mind squeaked.

No words of resilience, no pushing away and going into the other room. Just utter and complete surrender.

She welcomed his sudden embrace and didn't move away. Instead she pushed against his naked body, nuzzling her face into his chest.

Nothing mattered in this tender moment.

Just the warmth and safety of his powerful arms holding her so close.

"No one will ever touch you again." Riddick's voice poured into her soul, creating a web of security around her broken heart.

"You're mine Jack, and that's how it's gunna be." He was firm and gentle as he pulled her face to look at him.

"Yours?" Jack asked in a trembling voice, her cat like eyes swelling with tears.

"Always." He purred and leaned forward, leaving a tender kiss on her quivering lips...
