BEST FRIENDS MAKE BETTER LOVERS

Chapter 4


Riddick sat in the cockpit of the ship and stared into the blackness of space. His mind was reeling with what Jack had told them about everything. Imam, his family, the Mercs, her tortures. The beast inside him was pushing to get out at the mere thought of coming across a Merc.

They had left Drier 3 the next evening after Jack had withdrawn all her credits from her various accounts and packed her few belongings. She didn’t have much, she never had as far as he could tell. Whenever he or Imam had tried to get information from her about her past when they were in the skiff she always side-stepped the questions. They figured it was best left alone when she would sit in the corner with a far away look in her eyes after each failed attempt to learn about her.

Riddick stood up and walked quietly down the corridor of his ship to the bedroom. Jack was sound asleep on the bed, he breathing slow and steady. Riddick watched her in the darkness. She had grown up so fast, too fast he thought. She needed stability in her life, a place to call home. He lowered his head and then turned to walk away.

“Don’t leave.”

Riddick’s head shot up and he looked at Jack. She was still asleep as far as he could tell. He stepped in the room a few steps when she spoke again.

“Please....don’t leave Riddick. I need you.” she mumbled, her hand slowly stretching out as if she was searching for something.

Riddick made his way to the bed and quietly sat on the edge, gently grabbing her hand and offering a light squeeze.

“I’m here Jack. I’m not going anywhere.” He said softly.

Jack rolled on her side towards him and curled herself around his hips wrapping her arms around his waist and pulling her head onto his lap. Riddick’s breath caught slightly as she did this but then he found himself soothing her by gently brushing her hair from her face.

He leaned down to kiss her forehead, his lips gently brushing her soft hair. He pulled back to find Jack looking up at him. He stayed still, looking at her. After a long silent moment Jack reached up with her right hand and gently touched his lips. Riddick remained motionless, his silver eyes transfixed on Jack and her slight touch.

“Perfection.” Jack said softly, her eyes searching his face and then going to his chest.

“Jack.” Riddick said in a hushed tone. “I think I should go.”

He shifted his weight on the bed to get up, but Jack quickly put her hand on his cheek and pulled his face to meet hers. Her lips seeking his brushed over them in a teasing touch. She continued her torture on him as he started to kiss her back, his tongue skimming over her lips before seeking entrance into her mouth. Jack hungrily excepted him and opened herself completely to him. His hands found her face and he tangled his fingers in her hair. A low growl escaped him and Jack skipped her hand to his chest at hearing that. She found his nipple through his shirt and gently racked her nails over it. Riddick was devouring her and the beast was fighting to get out. Jack could feel his eagerness and she slipped her hand down even further reaching the waistband of his pants. She started to fumble with the buttons on his pants when Riddick pushed her back and stood up so fast she almost fell out of the bed. She looked at him confused and Riddick stood there with his arms stretched out in front of him, his palms facing her.

“Stop. Stop Jack.” Riddick panted. “I...I can’t do this. Not to you.” He turned and left the room before Jack could even say a word.

Riddick stalked down the corridor to the cockpit, punching the wall on his way. He sat in the pilots chair with his head in his hands. “Shit.” He mumbled. “Fuck!” A little louder. His mind was chaotic with everything going on in there. ‘I can’t hurt her. I won’t!’ He thought to himself. He just sat there listening to himself breath and trying to calm down. He was deathly afraid of causing Jack any more pain, but the beast inside him raged at the fact that she was ready and willing. ‘Just take her!’ the beast would roar. ‘She wants you, she wants you inside her. Go take her.’ “No.” Riddick whispered to himself. ‘She doesn’t know what she wants. Doesn’t know what she is asking.’ He told himself.

“Riddick....what’s wrong?” Came a soft voice from behind him.

“Nothing Jack.” He answered bluntly without looking at her. “You should go back to bed.”

Jack stepped closer to him and leaned over the chair he was sitting in. “Not unless you are in it with me.”

Riddick kept his gaze on the stars in front of him. “I can’t Jack. You don’t know what you are asking.”

Jack creased her brow but then let herself relax. “I believe I am asking you to come to bed with me, and by that I am asking you to make love to me. You are capable of sex aren’t you Riddick?”

Riddick let out a frustrating growl. He needed to make Jack understand why he couldn’t be with her in that sense. He stood up and turned around and was dumbstruck. Jack was standing there behind the pilot’s chair completely naked. Riddick quickly regained his lost composure and looked her in the eyes.

“I am not capable of what you are asking Jack. I have never made love to anyone, I wouldn’t even know how.” He said emotionless.

Jack stood there, blocking his path to exit the cockpit. “What are you afraid of Riddick? Why does being with me scare you so much?”

Riddick leaned his head back and laughed. “Me, afraid. You got it all wrong Jackie girl. I am not the one who would end up being afraid in the end.”

“You think you would scare me?” Jack asked in disbelief.

Riddick leaned closer to her, his eyes never leaving hers. “I won’t do to you what they did Jack. And that is all I have ever done.”

Jacks eyes widened at that. She couldn’t believe what he had just said. She looked down and then back into his eyes. No, she had to have misunderstood him.

“You mean the only time you have ever had sex was by forcing a woman?” She asked cautiously.

Riddick’s eyes went dark for a moment. “No Jack! I am no rapist.” His face softened as her eyes showed the confusion. “I have never taken a woman who wasn’t willing. But, I’ve never been what I would consider gentle either. I don’t want to hurt you Jack, and I think I would remind you of ....the mercs if we did....you know.”

“I don’t know what I can say to you Riddick, to make you understand that you could never hurt me. It wouldn’t be the same as the others, because I want you. I want to be with you.” Jack said softly. She stepped up close to him and grabbed his hand. “I want you Riddick, all of you, whatever you are capable of giving me, I want it.” She brought his hand to her lips and kissed each finger tip then lowered it to her right breast and pressed his hand into her. “Please Riddick....please, I need you.” She whispered while caressing his right cheek with her left hand.

“Riddick leaned in and kissed her lips and then put his forehead to hers. “Are you sure Jack?” He pleaded with her, his voice hitching in his throat. “I don’t think I could stop once we started, even if you begged me. I don’t want to hurt you.”

“Shhhh” Jack pressed her finger to his lips and looked him in the eyes.

“I would never want you to stop Riddick. I have wanted you for a long time, even those bastards couldn’t take that from me. I want you and only you. Please...”

Riddick leaned in and kissed Jack again while he picked her up and walked down the corridor to the bedroom. His mind was fighting the beast within. He knew he needed to be gentle with her, but the beast wanted to ravage her, take her hard and fast.

He continued kissing Jack as he laid her on the bed. She reached up to slide her hands under his shirt. Riddick pulled back just long enough to give her a small smile while he striped off his clothes. Jack just watched as his beautiful body was revealed to her. She wanted to touch him, kiss him, feel him. When he was done he leaned over her and started kissing her lips again. Jack returned the kisses and pulled him closer to her, slowly spreading her legs as he settled onto her. Riddick was all to familiar with her closeness and as her heat reached his swollen member Riddick’s control started to slip. He grabbed Jack’s hair and pulled her head to the side, kissing and nipping at her neck. Jack arched up to meet his mouth and moaned. He slid his hand down between her thighs to test her readiness and was elated to find her dripping wet. He grabbed his aching cock and rubbed the head along her folds a few times making sure to come into contact with her clit. Each time her sensitive nub was touched Jack squealed and shuddered against him. He positioned himself at her entrance and in a swift thrust her buried himself to the hilt inside her, at the same time biting down on her shoulder, just enough to draw blood.

Jack gasped at the sudden intrusion to her body and the pain/pleasure she was feeling from his cock and his mouth. Riddick started thrusting in and out of her as he lapped at the bite wound. Jack squealed with each powerful thrust which in turn made him thrust harder into her. He loved hearing her squeal. A small part of him was hoping it was from pleasure because he couldn’t tell, but the beast which was in charge now was more in tune to fucking her senseless.

Jack wrapped her legs around Riddick and tried to kiss him and nip at his skin as he moved on top of her. He was thrusting so hard and fast she could hardly catch her breath. She could feel the tingling in her belly and she needed her release as did Riddick.

“Please....please Riddick. I need.....I need to.....”She moaned out.

Riddick looked at her and smiled, the beast knowing what she needed as he changed his position to angle into her a bit better. Jack’s eyes shot open at the new friction caused by his rock hard cock rubbing her g-spot and she screamed his name.

“RIDDICK!!!!”

Riddick picked up the pace and brought his hand down Jack’s abdomen to her mons. He reached her clit and started rubbing furiously in small circles.

“Come on baby. Come for me Jack. I wanna hear you come.” He growled out as he continued to pound into her.

As soon as he touched her clit Jack’s head slammed into the mattress and she screamed his name as the most violent orgasm shook her body. She grabbed the sheets in her fist while she clenched her legs tight around Riddick’s hips. Riddick’s own orgasm chased hers as he came inside Jack hard and fast. He let out a primal growl and collapsed on top of her, still feeling Jack’s muscles milking his cock.

As soon as Riddick could form a rational thought he pushed himself up. He new he had lost control, he hated himself for it. All he could do now was see how bad he hurt the one person he never wanted to harm.

He looked at Jack but she had her face turned away from him, her breathing ragged. He looked at her body and saw the bite mark on her shoulder. ‘Fuck’ he thought to himself.
