Unlikely Allies

Chapter 16

As they walked from the house, Nadia felt a sense of freedom she had never felt.
So much freedom in fact, she didn’t know what to do next. She had become so
accustom to someone telling her where to go and what to do all the time that she
felt a little lost. She whimpered a little at the thought. Riddick scooped her up in his arms and hurried her down the street.

They took a transport back to Nadia’s house on Planet Dread and with haste, left for planet Deliverance. There, they lived in limbo until Riddick suggested they migrate to a small planet in the Urion system.

Nadia was a little skeptical but the more she thought about it, she would follow
Riddick anywhere. Nadia decided to do a little research on this planet he called
Eden, and was impressed with the paradise Riddick had discovered for them to live
in. It was a small planet, inhabited by 300 humans. The climate was warm and it
had several lush beaches.

Nadia was more than excited and they decided to take a small excavation there to
find a suitable place to start their new life together. The planet was unbelievable
and the excavation turned into staying forever. They lived off of Nadia’s savings and thanked Johns in every prayer for paying so plentifully.

One night Nadia went for a walk and when she returned, Riddick was sitting on a bench of a
grand piano. Riddick knew that was exactly what she wanted. In two seconds, she was
on his lap covering him with kisses. Scooting the bench out a little, he asked her to
play for him. Nadia still attached to him, slid around on his lap to face the piano.
She lifted the key cover sitting in the center and on the C key was a diamond ring.

“Will you marry me?” Riddick asked.

Looking over her shoulder, Nadia looked into Riddick’s shinning eyes and replied
”Yes.”

A few weeks later, they were married on the white sands of a moonlit beach. It
was a cool night and the ocean breeze tossed Nadia’s hair gently as the moonlight
reflected in Riddick’s eyes. They recited their vows and pledged their love to one
another forever. Then they were whisked off to Planet Desire for their
honeymoon.

The sumptuous beach was filled with numerous exotic fruit trees and
golden brown sand. The waves of the aqua colored water whispered their names,
alluringly. The sweet night air was intoxicating. Planet Desire was simply an
aphrodisiac and it assaulted all of their senses.

When the bride and groom arrived, they were shown to their suite. Riddick was surprised to see the suite was equipped with a Jacuzzi and a piano. He tipped the bellhop and headed straight
towards his new wife for a taste of honey. But she refused.

“Hold on, Mr. Riddick, I want to take a shower first. To freshen up a little…”

Stepping closer, Riddick wrapped his arms around Nadia’s waist and asked, “Why
clean up if you’re just going to get all dirty again?”

“Because I want this to be perfect. I don’t want to be smelling like plane smoke
when my husband has me for the first time.”

“This is a Honeymoon right?”

“Right.” Nadia answered.

“I will take my honey anyway I can get it.” He said flashing his beautiful bride his award-winning
smile.

“You are just silly.” Nadia said smiling.

She grabbed her carry on bag and disappeared into the bathroom. Riddick hissed
at the thought of having to wait. A few minutes later, but seemed like hours to Riddick, Nadia
emerged from the bathroom. His eyes almost dropped from his head. She was
stunning. Riddick now dressed in satin, black pajama pants, bare-chested and bare
footed. He was sprawled across the bed spread eagle. He sat up on the bed slowly
as his mouth watered with desire.

“Tell Daddy how you want it?” He asked as a picture show of sex flashed through
his mind.

“I want you to come over and sit on the sofa with me.”

Riddick jumped at the opportunity. He thought his new wife wanted to try
something new.

She sat him down, walked over to the piano and took a seat on the
bench and asked, “Before I can stroke your keys, let me stroke the piano’s. This is my wedding gift to you.”

Nadia relaxed herself and placed her long, slender fingers on the keys. Clearing
her throat, she began to finger the keys. A few silvery notes and Nadia began
to sing.

(Hook) You showed me love does last, now in your love I bask. I’m no longer living in
the past. Who would have thought that our paths would cross again, that
you would come to save me, that we’d go through so much and in the end
we’d win.

(Verse) This is a love letter in a song. Now that you are my husband to me you’ll
always belong. My once empty life is now filled with you. We are now one
and no longer two. This experience has taught me patience. It’s
proved to me that love will find away and I know our love will grow
stronger with each passing day.

(Hook) You showed me love does last, now in your love I bask. I’m no longer living in
the past. Who would have thought that our paths would cross again, that
you would come to save me, that we’d go through so much and in the end
we’d win.

Nadia’s song touched a part of Riddick he hadn’t felt in years. He was so
emotionally vulnerable, that tears began to swell up in the corners of his eyes.
Riddick looked on as Nadia, dressed in white satin and lace, played from her soul.
She looked like an angel. Riddick couldn’t wait for her to finish. He walked over to
the piano and pulled her away from her song. Covering her mouth with his, he
picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.

During their consummation of bliss, they were blessed with the gift of conception. Nadia had noticed the change in her body three weeks later. She had a feeling that she might be pregnant so she took a test. The test proved that her suspicion was right….she was going to be a Mommy!

When she got up the nerve to tell Riddick, they cried tears of joy. Their love had prevailed through the wrath of hell’s devil. Now, they were free to marinate in their happiness. Being husband and wife was enchanting, but being a father and mother was joyous. For they had taken many lives, yet God had blessed them with one. Their love had multiplied and soon, there would be an addition to this equation.

Throughout the joyous event, Nadia craved for the strangest things. No matter how weird, her husband would always fulfill her desires…in and out of bed.

As Nadia’s belly began to swell, she became self-conscious of her body. Riddick showed her in a multitude of ways that she still was beautiful in his shined eyes. He told her that baring their child magnified her essence infinitely. She was his Goddess and he couldn’t get enough of her.

At the time of the ultrasound, it was revealed that they were having twins. Not just twins but fraternal twins. Riddick devoted all of his time and energy to his loving Queen. Each day, Nadia fell deeper and deeper in love with her King.

Nine months later, Queen Nadia gave birth to their beautiful healthy babies. Their princess was named Riddia and their prince was named Naddick.

Their two lifelong jewels symbolized The Never-Ending Love of Riddick and Nadia!
