Chapter 8. Bonding time.

Feeling something move against her arm, woke Brianna up instantly. She quickly looked down her arm to see what she had felt.

It was Amon. She had fallen asleep with her hand in his basket. Seeing how he lay against her hand, all cuddled up, her heart melted.

Wild animal, huh Riddick?

She smiled at the little creature, before noticing Riddick was walking towards her.

He looked clean. He wore a loose jeans only. His torso bare.

Like all the clothes he wore, this jeans fit him perfectly. Brianna wondered how that was even possible. But then her mind got distracted by his very muscular upper body. His tight abs , and the little way down into his jeans.

Brianna found herself staring and quickly adverted her eyes back to the little sleeping wolf. She felt how her cheeks flushed red. Stupid girl.

Riddick on the other hand, found her very endearing. She could keep denying it, but he knew she did feet the attraction between the two of them. He just wondered when she would finally give in.

"You should come to bed", he told her, his voice husky. Brianna looked back up at him once more, not sure if she should answer him. She really didn't felt like being in that bed with him again.

Riddick saw her distressed face, not sure what she was thinking.

He took another step towards her, extending his hand for her to take.

Brianna watched his hand before she slowly took it, letting him pull her to her feet. He kept her hand in his, leading her to the bed.

Brianna took a glance over at Amon, who was sleeping soundly in his basket.

Riddick released her when they reached the bed, pulling the sheets back so she could slip under them.

Brianna took her jeans off, but kept her blouse on, hoping Riddick would not be bothered by it.

While she quietly slid under the covers, she tried to move as much towards the end of the bed as possible. She kind of hoped Riddick would leave her alone for the night, and not have a re-run of last night's activities.

Riddick joined her, not having any of her trying to block him out moves. He slid his arms around her cold form, pulling her back a few inches.

He kept her in his arms, nice and warm. He remembered how kind she had been to the little pup and wondered if she would ever think about him in such ways. Probably not. Who would?

He felt her trembling for a moment, but it soon seized. It was not long before he noticed she was dozing off into a deep slumber.

He very gently and softly kissed her cheek before kissing her neck. If she only knew how he wanted all of her, just knew how he felt about her. He really needed to show her he cared.

It was so hard to keep himself under control around her. But he had to, she was too precious to demolish. He would have to be a little more patient. He had a feeling she would come around.

After all, if she could love the little hairball in the basket, she would be able to love him as well, right?


The next morning Brianna woke up alone. Well not completely. A soft howling was filling the cave, waking her up. She yawned and stretched her body, before she looked around and noticed Riddick was gone again. 'Fine by me', she thought. She stepped from the bed and walked over to the basket, that held Amon.

The little thing was wiggling its tail off, happy to finally get some attention. He made some more noises, these sounding more enthusiastic. Brianna smiled and kneeled down beside him, petting him.

She had just placed herself comfy on the floor, her bare legs beneath her body. She hummed a song to Amon, but ended it as soon as she heard the rock before the cave was being removed.

Riddick was back.

She turned herself around and watched him walk inside, carrying a cloth filled with little items. She saw him stare at her. Realizing a tad too late he was watching her long, uncovered legs. She pulled them a little more to her body, as trying to hide them from his silver shining eyes.

Grinning Riddick walk to the table and placed the cloth on it, opening and placing the items on the table.

Brianna's eyes widened when she saw it were fruits, just like he had promised her last night. She saw some apples, coconuts, banana's and some oranges too. She could only remember the taste of those.

"Breakfast?", Riddick then casually asked her, watching her big eyes taking in the fruits. He placed some of the fruits on a plate, walking to the bed. Brianna slowly got up, making her way over towards him, sitting down next to him on the bed.

"If only you had waited a little longer with waking up, this could have been a breakfast in bed you know", Riddick teased her, while he skinned the apple and cut it in half. He gave her a piece before he ate the other himself.

"Thank you", she told him softly, while taking an orange from his hand.

Riddick smiled, walking over towards Amon to feed him a small piece of meat.

"When you finish that, I need you to get dressed", he told her, while bowing down and petting the wolf. He let his eyes wonder over her legs once more.

"I have something I want to show you".


An hour later Brianna was following Riddick through the woods. She was curious of where he wanted to lead her, also a little hesitant. What if he was just dumping her somewhere?

He kept his pace low, so she could keep up with her still a bit sore leg. He could not help himself looking back every once in a while, watching if she was still following him.

They walked in silence, for what seemed an eternity to Brianna, but then they suddenly stumbled onto the most beautiful pool of water she had ever seen. It was so clear she could see fish swim, and coloured birds were sitting in trees around the pool.

It seemed like a magical place.

Riddick smiled when he saw her surprised face. He knew she would like this.

"Nice huh?", he asked. Brianna watched him in awe.

"It's beautiful, how did you find this place?", she asked him, her voice filled with brightness. Riddick noticed how she instantly back down a bit, afraid she was being too active to his liking. But he gave her an even bigger smile, taking her hand and pulling her closer to the pool.

"This, this is my swimming pool. And sometimes I fish here too."

Brianna watched him take his shirt and jeans off, before he took a walk and dove into the water. She kneeled down and watched him swim, taking in the beauty of nature, all of it.

He swam a few rounds before he returned to her, motioning for her to join her. Brianna smiled, but didn't moved. She did not like the idea of taking her clothes of here, out in the open en before Riddick.

"It's just you and old me. Nothing I haven't seen before", Riddick teased her. Brianna swallowed and was thinking hard about an escape here.

"Common, you'll like it", he taunted her, taking another dive.

Brianna walked to wards the water, still deciding what to do.

Yes she wanted to dive in, she could only think of how nice it would feel. But she was hesitating because of the man in the water, and her surroundings.

She saw Riddick on the other side of the pool, lazily lying on his back in the water, eyes closed.

'He is giving me some privacy', she understood.

Ignoring whatever her head was telling her, Brianna undid her pants, and blouse, neatly placing them on a rock nearby the water. She kept her underwear on, just for the sake of decency.

She then finally took small steps into the cool water, enjoying every minute of it.

Her mind was so full with her surroundings, that she totally missed Riddick, who had been sneaking up on her from the side. He swiftly took her in his strong, muscular arms, walking them both into deeper waters.

His eyes watched hers concentrated, his grin making her nervous.

"Cheater", he whispered before he moved them both into the corner of the pool, sitting down on a rock, keeping Brianna on his lap.

Her cheeks flushed red, but she kept her mouth shut not wanting to make any sassy remarks. He was so much stronger, and she really didn't wanted to be left alone here.

"Cat got your tongue? Where are your smart remarks, hmm?", Riddick wondered out loud, one of his hand teasingly making its way to the back of her make shift bra.

"No don't", Brianna said, reaching with her hand for his, but he was faster. Her top drifted away in the water.

"You're way too overdressed her. Do you know how that makes me feel?", he faked a hurt expression before his grin returned, his now free hand exploring her chest, before he played with her hair.

"Let's play a little game here. I ask you a question, you get to do the same to me. How does that sound?", he asked her, his eyes lingering on her chest before they met her eyes.

Brianna was feeling rather uncomfortable, and wondered what he wanted to know so badly, he was willing to actually be nice to her.

"Okay", she answered, instantly lowering her eyes from his. Riddick grinned and brought his hand to her chin, making her look him in the eyes again.

"Why do you keep looking away from me?", he asked her, his finger following the line of her cheek bone.

Brianna swallowed.

When she did not instantly answered, he cocked his head to the side, his hand lowering to her breasts.

"You frighten me", she quickly answered, closing her eyes.

The feeling of soft lips against her neck made her open her eyes.

"Your turn", he said. Brianna thought for a second, not sure what she wanted to ask first.

"Why do you keep me around, and why are you being nice to me?", she blurted out.

Riddick chuckled.

"That's two, pick one frail", he said, his voice filled with amusement.

Brianna softly sighed, why did he had to play by the rules now?

"What about you answer both, and you get to ask two questions after that?", she answered. She tried to keep her sassiness down, but she just could not help herself.

Riddick's grin expanded, showing his white smile.

"You're my mate, you are mine to claim, mine to protect. Mine to love. I think that should answer both questions", his dark voice whispered into her ear, making her shiver on his lap.

He moved his lips to kiss her neck once more, but Brianna felt like she really needed to break the tension he was creating.

"Your turn Riddick. Your turn", she said, pulling herself slightly back, only to be placed into her original spot by him again.

"Let me see, two questions. If you'd had to choose between living with me here, or being back with your parents, which life would you choose?"

Brianna watched him with a blank expression. That was a question she had not seen coming.

"I-I uh. I don't know", she said honestly.

Riddick shook his head.

"I want an answer here. Your parents and you fiancé, or me?", he taunted her.

Brianna swallowed once more. She thought she'd rather be with Riddick. But did she wanted for him to know that?

The way he was eyeing her lips right about now made Brianna decide quicker then she had thought.

"I choose you. You have another question left", she rattled the words out, not wanting to see how he would react to it.

But Riddick had saved his question wisely.

"Why?", he asked, his eyes shining bright in the sunlight. Brianna made the mistake to look into his eyes just a second to long. She was lost for words.

Riddick slowly brought her face closer with his hand on her chin, capturing her soft lips with his. He brought her closer to his body on his lap, kissing her deeply and passionate. Brianna found herself kissing him actually back, enjoying his taste, for the moment to lost to car about him touching her breast. Or taking things further.

Riddick smiled against her lips before he gently ended it with a few soft, shallow kisses. She had been willing for the first time. He liked that. Much better then forcing his way into her mouth.

She seemed a little out of breath, but he still wanted his answer.

"Now tell me, why?", he asked once more.

Brianna again adverted her eyes, but did speak.

"I'd rather be with someone who wants me for me, then someone who just wants me for my parents money, or just as a play thing."

Even Riddick was lost for words for a seconds. She finally had got it through her pretty little head that he wanted all of her, not just her body.

Smart girl.

"Now, let's get dressed so we can head back. Before Amon breaks down the entire cave, shall we?", he asked her, pulling her with him as he made his way out of the water.


The next two weeks had been swift, but pleasant. Riddick and Brianna seemed to get along better and better each day.

Since that day in the pool Riddick had not touched, or kissed her again. He also had made no attempts to intimacy. Brianna was confused beyond believe.

Why did he almost raped her two weeks ago, and wasn't interested in her now? Still that was not completely true. The way his eyes scanned her body, made her feel nervous. And his hard member that pressed into her bum at night told her he did wanted her. Why was he not acting on it then?

Amon had been acting differently as well. He was a little larger now, walking around freely in the cave. He enjoyed laying by the warmth of the fireplace, but only if Brianna would scratch him behind his ears. He also loved swimming in the pool, afterwards drying by the fire.

It was so that one afternoon while Riddick was working on a piece of meat, Brianna was swimming with the cup. He wasn't fully grown yet, but he wasn't actually small anymore either.

"Get the ball boy, go get it!", she yelled throwing the made shift ball into the pool, watching the wolf swim as hard as he could.

Brianna climbed out of the pool, taking place on a rock on the side. Amon got the ball and then returned to Brianna, really interested in round two.

A Brianna threw it, she felt two big arms surrounding her completely. Not totally shocked, but still a bit, she turned her head and saw Riddick's eyes watch her.

"I think he has had enough of your attention for today, my turn", he told her, kissing her neck, before releasing her completely and sending Amon into the main cave.

He then unclothed himself, before he stalked towards her again. Brianna had seen his naked body before, he was not actually shy about it. But one part of his anatomy was yelling to be seen.

It was her curiosity that often got the best of her, and Riddick knew.

"Don't be a cheater now", he teasingly said, before walking past her, into the water.

Brianna watched him dive under the surface, before removing her top. She could do so much. It wasn't like he hadn't seen her breasts before. And besides, if he was occupied with her chest, he would more likely leave other parts of her body alone.

She followed him into the pool, seeing how he was swimming towards her, head under the water. He resurfaced right before her, looking down her body.

"Still cheating frail", he told her, hooking one finger behind the elastic waistband of her panties.

Brianna took a hold of his hand, but he didn't liked that.

"You had your chance", he said while he moved down and removed the material from her body, leaving her completely naked, like himself.

"Now were even", he said, grinning. His hands roamed her stomach and legs, causing to stress her out beyond compare.

"Why is it you are so nervous around me, Bree? I haven't been touching you for almost two weeks now", he softly said, his lips brushing her ears.

"Why?", she asked back.

"It's not polite to answer a question with a question", he mocked her. But the kisses he traced down her neck told her he wasn't serious about it.

"You needed space, I gave it like a good mate should. Now you've had the time to get used to me, I want us to bond more. I need you", he whispered into her ear.

"Now why are you still so nervous?"

"I- I don't know what to expect. And when and-", she was cut off by his lips ravishing hers. The hand on the back of her neck kept her in place, while he was kissing her with deep need and pure lust.

He walked her backwards towards the corner of the pool, placing her against a rock on the side.

"Let me lead you. Nice and slow", he said in between kisses.

She felt one of his fingers in between her legs, gently tracing her down there.

Riddick smiled at feeling the soft moisture on his finger. She did want him. More than she knew.

He then ever so lightly brushed her clit, before he moved his one finger to her opening, gently pushing it in.

He heard a sharp intake, and felt her shiver in his arms. But she made no sound, no attempts to stop him either.

He then pushed a little further until he felt her innocence once more.

But then her small voice caught his attention.

"What- But what if I am not ready for this?", she asked him, her eyes closed.

"I'll get you ready", Riddick's husky voice answered before he captured her lips once more.
