Chapter 5

The sound of her door sliding open woke Bobby up. She looked and saw a dark figure in the doorway outlined by the lights in the hall.

"Lights 10 percent." She said but nothing happened. Suddenly two silver orbs glowed at her and she smiled. "Riddick." He stepped in the room and the door closed. She could only make out a dark outline of him and watched as he went to the foot of the bed and crawled on all fours onto it. He crawled up her body and knelt, his knees on either side of her hips. She watched as he took off his shirt throwing it aside. She sat up and her hands reached up, feeling hard muscle. "Riddick I..." She started but he laid a finger on her lips, silencing her.

"Shh...no words." Was his answering growl. He removed his finger from her lips only to put his in its place. She pressed back against his mouth eagerly and he leaned into her, pushing her back on the bed. Riddick broke the kiss and grabbed the blanket that separated them; yanking it down and finding out that she wasn't wearing any pajamas or underwear. He kissed her again grinning, as he lay against her, his large hands roaming her naked body. One hand slipped between her legs to...

Bobby woke with a start hearing her door chime go off. She rubbed her face with her hands and fanned her self with one, trying to cool down from the vivid dream. The door chime went off again and she got up, still in her clothes from earlier. She hobbled to the door and opened it seeing Malcolm out there.

"What do you want Malcolm? I was sleeping." She asked.

"Sorry, but your dad told me to get you." He said.

"Why didn't he just come down here himself?"

"I don't know. I didn't want to ask he seemed pretty pissed. I think he wants to talk to you about you-know-who." Malcolm said and she sighed, running her fingers through her messy hair.

"Okay, just let me brush my hair." she said and turned walking to her dresser and pulling her brush through it until it was smooth and knot free. Putting down her brush she followed Malcolm out and to the main deck. They stopped outside the Captain's Office.

"Good luck kid." He said and she smiled weakly at him.

"Yeah I'm going to need it." Bobby said and pressed a button on the consul, the door sliding open and she stepped inside, the door closing behind her.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!" her father yelled and she winced in the seat in front of his desk. "He is a convicted murderer and you...god!"

"Nothing happened! We just kissed, that's all!" Bobby said.

"Kissing isn't all that you did!"

"We didn't have sex! I stopped and told him that I couldn't do it and then I left." She said standing.

"He's going back to Butcher Bay." Captain Derek Townsend said.

"No he's not. He's a good worker and he hasn't harmed anyone. What are you going to tell the Warden? That you're sending him back because he and you daughter almost did the nasty?"

"I'll make something up, but he's off this ship."

"Nothing happened! You're overreacting over nothing."

"He almost took the virginity of my little girl, I wouldn't call that nothing." Derek said and she laughed without humor. "What is so goddamn funny?"

"I'm not a virgin, I lost my virginity when I was sixteen." Bobby said.

"WHAT?!" Derek roared and she winced again. "Who was it?"

"It doesn't matter, he's not on the ship anymore. Besides, how the hell did you know about me and Riddick?"

"People talk, and that talk reached my ears." He said and she nodded. Gossip did run rampant on this ship. "How about this? I've already talked to him, and he's agreed to stay away from you, he doesn't want to go back to prison. You stay away from him and he stays on the ship."

"Deal." Bobby said after a long moment of thought.

"Now go get some sleep. You look awful." Derek said smiling apologetically.

"Gee thanks. Bye dad." Bobby said walking to the door and leaving. When she was gone Derek sat down in his chair and sighed putting his head in his hands.

On the way back to her room she passed Riddick in the hall and her eyes flicked to him then down, her pace speeding up. She got to her room and leaned against the door. She pushed away and rolled onto her bed, going back to sleep, this time there were no dreams of Riddick.
