They arrived on Ursa 12 when Victoria and Jack were asleep. Riddick landed the ship in the docking port and shut down the engines. He dropped the cargo, but the next window to leave was in three days. So he went out to stretch his legs, got some really good coffee at a café and headed back to the ship after sunset.

When he got inside, he found Jack and Victoria awake and in the kitchen. Jack was eating and Victoria was watching her wistfully.

"I really miss solid foods and eating normally." Victoria said and continued to watch her eat.

"The next window to launch is in three days." Riddick said and she nodded at him.

"Okay, not a problem, even though the longer we stay here the longer Dante has to find out that I'm here."

"There's nothing I can do about it." Riddick said and she looked at him.

"Did I say that you did have power of the situation?" she asked evenly, even though her face was calm he could feel something pushing on him.

"Could you stop that?" he asked and she cocked her head at him.

"Stop what?"

"Whatever you're doing."

"Really Riddick I'm not doing anything." she said and the weight lifted, Jack gasped and the fork fell from her hand as she felt it.

"What is that?" Jack asked and sighed. "It's gone." Victoria snarled getting up from the chair, her canines long.

"I'm thinking she's feeling it too." Riddick said and they watched as Victoria calmed down, her teeth shrinking back to normal.

"What was that?" Jack asked.

"Someone was investigating us. Dante was investigating us, he's concluded that you two are human, but me..."

"He knows what you are. How old is Dante?" Riddick asked.

"Very old."

"Is he strong?"

"Not particularly, no." she said.

"Then why are you scared of him?"

"Who said I was frightened?"

"You don't have to say it." Riddick said and she snarled.

"I'm not afraid of anything human." She said.

"Whatever you say." Riddick said but his tone of voice suggested that he didn't believe her.

"Riddick stop." Jack said and he looked at her.

"Stop what?"

"Baiting her, provoking her, take your pick." Jack said, still looking at Riddick Victoria went behind her and leaned over, placing small kisses on her neck. "Victoria..." Jack said trying to sound annoyed but her voice was wavering. Riddick watched as Victoria bit her slightly making her moan. In a blurry move Victoria was sitting in the chair and Jack was straddling her lap facing her. Riddick watched as Victoria's elongated canines slid into Jack's neck and Jack shuddered. Jack's hips started to roll and he watched, unable to look away, as one of Victoria's hands went between Jack's legs making her cry out. Victoria withdrew and closed the wound; Jack's head rolled and she made small tired noises. Victoria stood with Jack in her arms and vanished. Riddick walked stiff legged up to his room and laid down on his bed. There was a small knock and the door opened, giving him just enough time to put a pillow on his lap.

Victoria stood in the doorway with her arms crossed and a small grin on her face.

"Did you enjoy the show?" she asked and he swallowed.

"It was...interesting. How is she?"

"Sleeping soundly. She won't wake until sunrise, which is hours and hours from now." she said and stepped into the room. She went over to the side of the bed and he sat up. She climbed into the bed and sat on her knees, he watched her. She took the pillow from his lap and grinned at the bulged fabric. She grasped his chin with her hand and pressed their lips together. His arms came around her back and pressed her to him as they kissed, she sat on his lap and ran her hands down his neck. They removed his shirt and she kissed along his chest. Riddick removed her camisole shirt and pressed her into him as they kissed again. "Riddick I have to warn you..."

"What?"

"I haven't done this in a pretty long, long time." she said and he looked at her.

"How long?"

"About nine hundred years, give or take a century." She said and his eyes widened.

"That is a really long time for no sex." He said as he ran his hands along her skin.

"No kidding. I just...oh god." She said as somewhat familiar feelings coursed through her body. He ran his fingers just inside the waistband of her jeans and they lay back on his bed, kissing again.

Hour's later Victoria got up and gathered her clothes into her arms, not bothering getting dressed again. Riddick watched her as she did this. She went over to him and kissed his lips shortly.

"Thank you, I had forgotten how good that felt." She said and he smiled at her.

"Well I was blown away, sex with a five thousand year old vampyre feels incredible." Riddick said and stretched.

"I've got to go, sunrise is in a few minutes."

"One question."

"Yes?"

"Where did you learn that trick you did with your legs?"

"Let's just say I knew the authors of the original Kama Sutra, nice couple, very friendly." She said and he grinned but said nothing. She left and his chrono alarm went off saying it was sunrise. Riddick got up, pulled on a pair of boxers and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

When he was done, he got dressed and went down to the kitchen area to find a very tired looking Jack sitting at the table, sipping juice.

"Victoria's asleep." She said not looking at him.

"Did she...take from you again?"

"No, she said that she was fine and that I should just get something to eat and build up my strength. When you and she...um...did it. Did she take from you?"

"How did you know that she and I had sex?"

"I just know. I could see it when I looked at her and now you. Now answer my question."

"I think so, I'm not quite sure. I think I remember a small pain on my...neck." Riddick said and his mind flashed to the two small puncture wounds on the inside of his thigh, right where the femoral artery was. She had bit there right before she... a low growl escaped his throat, so low that Jack didn't hear it. But she knew something was up so she perked an eyebrow at him, going back to her juice with a small grin. The grin disappeared as she yawned widely. "Still tired?"

"A little, but I can't go back to bed because I don't have one."

"Go sleep in my room."

"No I can't do that, I can't be surrounded by her scent and your scent all mixed up together with the smell of um...intercourse." Jack said with a slight pink twinge to her cheeks.
