Author's note: Riddick does not share my bed therefore I do not own him. I know it's sad isn't it?

Just so you all know, Riddick took Jack with him; he didn't leave her on New Mecca. For the past five years they have been planet hopping, settling where they can for as long as they can. Jack is now 20 (to me she was 15 when PB happened).

This is the fourth installment of my song fic. Thank you all so much for encouraging me to keep this story going.

I'm sorry to tell you that I only have ONE more chapter to this story. I had only planned on this being a one-shot and look what you people made me do…hehe j/k. I want to thank you all for being so supportive.

My next chapter is all about adult "playtime", if you catch my drift. I'm not sure if I'm going to change the rating on this because I haven't written the chapter yet. I don't plan on it being overly detailed so it might just be able to stay at this rating. However, if I do change it I hope you will all still follow. I can promise that it will be tastefully done.

The song is Taking Over Me by Evanescence.

"Riddick…" It was almost a whisper.

You don't remember me but I remember you
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream, and dream I do

Jack's mind flashed back to the day she had left him. Five months had passed since she last saw him. Inwardly, she smiled at herself, proud that she had covered her ass well enough. When she had returned to New Mecca to quickly see Imam, she was almost sure Riddick would just stroll out of a shadowy corner. She remembered quickly scolding herself for such a thought, he wouldn't come after her. Jack had thought that there was no reason for him to remember her. By the time she had reached R'gerillian, Jack was almost an insomniac. As hard as she had tried, Riddick always penetrated her dreams. Only when she had lain in the bed that they had shared nearly two years ago had she found some peace.

I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you

Now the object of her dreams, of her desires, stood inches from her. That deep seed of hope that he would follow her exploded into a mixture of raging emotions. Yes, she knew that she loved him when she left but now. She knew that without her, he would plunge himself into darkness. Now she realized that she would give up everything to find that soul, and to keep it safe.

I have to be with you
To live, to breathe, you're taking over me

Riddick was much more than just love. The tanned man was her life, the very air that filled her lungs. Since, their first conversation on that hell she knew that he was special to her. But now after almost six years, she knew that he was much more than even she expected.

Have you forgotten all I know and all we had
You saw me mourning my love for you
And touched my hand
I knew you loved me then

Inwardly, Jack now scolded herself for thinking that he could have forgotten her. Each realized that they had lied to each other; each had caused this shared second hell.

Her fingers still brushed his lips and tentatively he placed his hand on top of her. A smile graced her lips and she sighed. He had said the words that she had longed for; he had traveled through half the known universe just to find her. He had placed his soul in her hands.

I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe, you're taking over me

I look in the mirror and see your face
If I look deep enough
So many things inside that are just like you are taking over

For the months that they were separated, Jack had stopped looking in the mirror until reaching this last planet. She couldn't look at herself without seeing him. He had trained her, molded her. The differences that had separated them began to fade away in her when she looked into her reflection. Now she looked into the mirrored orbs of the person she loved. Her reflection was her own, only blurred slightly by what she had willingly given to him.

I believe in you

A single tear slid down her cheek. A single tear. She had only cried a single tear when she left him. Absently, she wondered if he would see this as weakness. Riddick slowly closed his hand over hers and brought them down to rest in the space between them. Slowly, he leaned down and kissed her tear away.

I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe, you're taking over me

In that moment Jack knew. Jack would die without him. Taking a step back, she led him back into the room. The moonlight gave the room an eerily beautiful glow, much like what Jack saw in Riddick's eyes.

I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you

Wrapping her arms around his broad neck, she raised herself up on tip toe. Her body pressing itself against his, Jack closed her eyes as she lightly kissed his collarbone, then the throbbing pulse in his neck. Pausing for a moment to inhale, she continued her trail until she reached his lips. Hesitating for only an instant, she captured his lips with her own.

"I have to be with you," Whispered after breaking from the kiss.

Riddick said nothing, only lifting her from the floor. Jack wrapped her legs around his waist as she intertwined her fingers behind his shaved head.

"To live," Her whispers came between kisses, "to breathe."

You're taking over me

His hands wound themselves into her long curly locks. She was beautiful to him, shaved head or long hair, smart ass mouth or seductive smile. Words that he never thought he would ever hear come from her mouth spilled from them. Jack hadn't told him she loved him. No that would be far too simple for her. She showed him. She showed him that not only did she love him but that she needed him to live. That she would be lost in her own darkness without him, and his love for her developed ten fold in that moment.

You're taking over me

With Jack still wrapped around him, Riddick sat effortlessly on the edge of the bed. Breaking another kiss, he reversed the trail of kiss she had planted on his own body. She made his mind, body, and soul go wild. He felt as though every fiber of his being needed her to be whole. Gently he lay back, never taking his eyes off of her.

An almost inaudible rumble burst from his throat, "You're taking over me."
