Chapter 3

It was silent and the cool air soothed my warm skin. I was lying next to Riddick on the floor, one of his hands under his head to support him, while the other was around my waist, caressing my side slowly. After all the moans and groans from a few minutes prior it was almost strange that it was so silent now.

My mind could not comprehend what had just happened. What I had want to happen. However I had been afraid and a little overwhelmed by this strong man who seemed to exactly know what he wanted, I had felt safe and wanted. The pain was already in the back of my mind.

I remembered the look on his face when I had discovered the blood between my thighs. I had been shocked and a little afraid something was wrong with me, he had looked smug, proud even.

'Next time will be better, without the blood,' he had told me, pulling me in for another kiss. And right now we were enjoying each other's warmth. I heard him take a deep breath before he softly chuckled. I turned a bit, searching for his eyes.

'What?' I asked him. He grinned and moved closer to kiss me.

'I was just thinking 'bout johns and the look on his face if he ever found out about this.' He seemed truly amused.

'Then he'd not only leave you here on this planet, but me as well,' I said, taunting him. He moved one of his legs between mine so he could slip between both of them and then he lied on top of me, his arms supporting him so I was not crushed beneath him.

'Hmm maybe I like that thought more then I initially thought. You and me, here. All alone. Time enough for you to learn how to enjoy a good fuck.' I slapped his arm and he laughed quite loud at that.

'Are you sore?' he then asked me. His eyes were right above mine, looking in deeply.

'I'm fine,' I replied. It was not completely true, I could still feel his touch between my legs. But it was a good feeling.

'Liar,' he whispered, his lips barely brushing mine. I moved up to kiss him. He chuckled into the kiss but kissed me back quite fiercely. We spend another hour of lying there, on the ground, before he got up and told me to come along.

We strolled over the base, amazed how hot it was outside. The sun was almost roasting everything it touched. Riddick's skin was already quite bronzed, mine not as quite. So the fact my forehead was red from the previous day out in the sun did not surprise me at all.

It was Riddick who found a cap in one of the little cabins and made me wear the thing made out of black material. My long hair was still braided, but even the thick braid on my back was feeling hot.

'It's just too hot out here,' I told Riddick who was roaming the cabins while I waited outside. He gave me a short hum, before he came out with something I did not recognize at all.

'Unbelievable,' he muttered putting the device, or so I thought, next to us on the sand. He groaned from the weight of it.

'What is it?' I asked him. He smiled looking down upon me. I wondered if I had ever seen him smile so broad before.

'This is our savior. This is a battery that fits into any shuttle. It's adaptable.' I only then understood his smile. He would be able to get us away from here, from this burning planet.

'It's heavy.' I then noticed, thinking about how we would have to take it with us to a shuttle that was not as damaged as the one we came in.

'We need to find a shuttle first, or fix the one we came in. Besides this one battery is probably not enough the get us away from here, but it is a start.' I watched him wipe the sweat from his forehead, replacing his goggles over his eyes.

'What are we going to do if the rest find us here with it?' I asked him. He licked his lips.

'They don't need to know just yet,' he said, grinning.

We spend the rest of that day hiding the battery cool and safe inside the big building so no one would find it easily. We needed more batteries and the rest of the people to help us get it there. It was pretty risky to share this information with the others if they came. They wanted to leave this planet, just as bad as we did and I was sure at least Johns had no hard feelings saving himself and leaving us here to die.
