Scully glared at him. "Mulder," she hissed, "I sincerely believe that the only thing you're afraid of in this entire universe is ME!" -------------- It had all started out so innocently. (As innocent as Mulder's snide remarks ever were, anyway...) They'd had a layover, so the two of them, not wanting to venture from the airport, had gone into the snack shop. It was one of those snack/gift shops that are to sirports like a fetus is to a womb. Mulder ordered something to eat and Scully, amused as usual by her partner's ability to eat whenever, wherever, or whatever, had simply ordered a cup of hot tea. Afterwards, they'd browsed the giftshop, where a rack of sweat shirts, emblazoned by obnoxious logos, became the culprit. One in particular. It was over-sized, a blinding pink and boldly stated, "I WANT YOUR BODY!" Scully, flipping through them, had been looking at it with a pensive, somewhat repulsed expression on her face. Mulder, realizing at that moment that in spite of the X-Files, he still hadn't seen everything, quipped "Oh, I see that one in your eyes all the time!" Scully, the sweat shirt still clasped between her fingers, froze, her body tensing like a rope drawn taut. Then she let the sweatshirt drop and turned to face him. He'd been grinning like a proud child, but when she crossed her arms over her chest, the smirk had slithered from his face like raindrops on a window pane. She looked smug and angry at the same time. A beautiful arrogance that had made Mulder's toes curl up inside of his expensive shoes. "Are you kidding, Mulder? Or is that your roundabout way of coming on to me? Somehow coy looks on you like lint on an icecube." Mulder had felt his heart detach itself from his chest and tromp into his throat. At the same time, like so many times before, he'd felt his penis react to her perfection. A challenge that he couldn't bring himself to meet. "You know I was, Scully. Lighten up." She relaxed. At least her body had, but her eyes, the epitome of fury, had not. She turned away from him, removed the garish sweat shirt and waltzed over to the cashier with it. Mulder had followed, standing directly behind her as the cashier rang it up. Over her shoulder, close to her ear, he whispered, "What are you doing?" His breath, warm against her neck, caught her off guard and she blushed. Like gasoline thrown onto a fire, this infuriated her even further. The cashier, eyes widening as she confronted the picture the two of them made, quickly folded the sweat shirt and placed it into a bag, which she handed to Scully. Scully, barely audible and through clenched teeth had retorted, "I'm buying this so I can wear it to bed and dream about you." Then she walked out of the gift shop with the bag under her arm. Mulder, a look of honest bewilderment on his face, shrugged his shoulders and followed her out. The air trip was uneventful, the silence had been unbearable. For Mulder anyway. He had made a few attempts at conversation, but they had all fallen flat. Even when he had commented on the case they'd just been assigned. Scully, never once making eye contact with him, had sat in her narrow seat, picking at the bag in her lap and looking like a defunct goddess. Much later, Mulder had gone to his hotel room, hungry, feeling grimey and pondering a bit over his strange day with Scully. He'd finally decided on room service and a hot shower when he heard a knock on the door. He looked through the peep hole and Dana's profile met his eyes. As soon as he unlocked the door, she pushed it open and quickly came inside. With her back against the door, her hands still wrapped around the knob, she faced him. She was wearing the sweat shirt, which hung down to her knees, and nothing else. She arched her lovely eyebrows and suggested, "Let's pretend I'm dreaming." ------------ Mulder, panic seizing him like a frightened cat, stared at her and retorted, "No. This is not going to work, Scully. No. Not now. Not at all!" Scully glared at him. "Mulder," she hissed, "I sincerely believe that the only thing you're afraid of in this entire universe is ME!" He shook his head and announced, "No, I'm not." "Or your feelings for me," she announced back. Calmer this time, he shook his head again. "No, I'm not." "Then you're afraid to touch me." "No," he stated, and his eyes glinted dangerously. Scully stepped closer to him and exploded, "How goddamn specific do I have to be before you'll admit to it? I feel like a truant officer!" Then she grabbed at the gaudy sweat shirt and pulled it off, over her head. She threw it on the floor between them and stood up straight, a look of defiance on her face, mischief peeking >from her eyes. Mulder, thrown completely off guard, moved as though he'd been struck by a blunt object. His eyes, losing their intensity, overflowed with a warmth that she had only glimpsed once or twice before. She smiled at him and said, "I don't care what comes out of your mouth, Mulder, your eyes tell me everything." Then she turned around, leaving the sweat shirt where it lay, and stepped towards the door. As she reached for the knob she felt his hand. It was under her hair, sliding up her neck until he reached the back of her head. Then he simply held it there. She stopped, her arm fell away from the door and she signed. A sign of someone who has just completed a very difficult but necessary task. Slowly, holding her breath, she turned around. As she did, his hand slid to her neck and down her back. When she was facing him again, she looked up and gasped. Never before had she seen such an angry look in his eyes. His nostrils were even flaring! But, being Dana Scully, she wasn't afraid. Actually, it made her happy and before she could stop herself she said, "Raw emotion, Mulder? This is a first for us, wouldn't you say? Almost _alien_ to your makeup. Obviously, I bring out something primeval in you." His expression didn't change, he didn't make a sound, but his fingers began to caress her. Tenderly moving down the soft skin on her back until he reached her buttocks. He cupped one in his hand, stroking her once, twice, and moving down to her thighs. Ever...so...gently.... Scully continued to gaze at his face, trying hard to concentrate, to see when and if his expression would change. But when he lightly ran his finger along the inside of her buttocks, her knees felt weak. She closed her eyes and moaned. Then he stopped. He withdrew his hand and stepped back. Her eyes flew open as she stared at him, wide-eyed, glaring, he said "Tit for tat, Scully." Her clitoris throbbed, her nipples were rock hard, and when she spoke her voice was obviously controlled. "Then I guess it's my move now." She advanced a step or two towards him, and when he held out his hand to ward her off she grabbed it, pulled it to her mouth and gently bit his palm. She let go and he cupped her face in his hands, pulling her mouth up to his own. His eyes, dark and molten, peered into hers and she knew she'd never forget the way they looked. Then he kissed her, open-mouthed and demanding. He moaned as his tongue slid into her mouth and suddenly she wanted him to know how _badly_ she wanted him. How much and for how long. Her hands flew up to his face and as he continued to kiss her, she touched him everywhere. His neck, his ears, his jaw, his eyelids, and finally she buried her fingers into his fine, dark hair, wrenching his mouth off of hers. Then she pushed him back towards the edge of the bed and pushed him again. He fell over but grabbed her hand and pulled her down onto the bed with him. She crawled onto his belly, her eyes never leaving his face, and finally, as she began to tug at his tie with one hand while the other one unbuttoned his shirt, he smiled at her. "I thought we were taking turns," he mocked. She ignored it and went right on undressing him. She threw the tie on the bed pillows. His shirt she opened wide, but before she removed it, she ran her fingers over his chest, feeling the flesh between her thumb and forefinger like a tailor touching a fine piece of cloth. Then she moved down, perching herself on top of his legs, and began unbuttoning his pants. His erection, hard and hot beneath the material, hypnotized her. Mulder, breathing hard, watched her intently until she tugged his pants down over his hips and placed her mouth on the exposed tip of his penis. Then his head went back and he groaned. She kept her mouth on him, kissing and licking his belly, his hipbones, his cock, as she gracefully shifted her body and stripped off the rest of his clothes. She worked her way back up, kissing and licking his skin, biting and nipping at his nipples until they were hard. She teased them with her tongue and rubbed her breasts all over his chest until she placed her equally hard nipples directly on top of his. She tossed her head back and closed her eyes, staying that way for a few seconds, savoring the feel of him. Then her head dropped and she looked into his face. He looked up at her, his eyes questioning. She smiled and asked, "Now that you're naked, may I call you Fox?" He laughed. An unguarded, joyous sound. A sound that she'd never heard him emit before. It stunned her, but before she could respond, he rolled over, placing her beneath him. He brought his knee up, spreading her legs and opening her up to him. An ache, a throbbing, delicious ache, spread through her. She felt herself lose control as her body, acting on its own, began thrusting itself against him. She wanted to beg him for it. She wanted to scream and her heart, beating very fast, was won. Mulder put his face close to hers and whispered, "Say it, then." For a second she didn't know what he meant. But when she stared into his eyes, she found herself in them and she knew. "Fox," she whispered. He kissed her roughly and slid his hands underneath her, lifting her bottom off the bed. Then he took his mouth away and said harshly, "Say it again, Dana." She opened her mouth to speak and as she uttered his name, he entered her. It was like lightning, striking over and over again. As he thrust in and out, she tossed her head back and forth until his free hand grabbed her jaw and held her still. Then he kissed her neck, sucking and biting her flesh, making his way back to her mouth. Somehow, every time she felt herself reaching an orgasm, he knew. He'd withdraw until just the head of his cock was still inside of her, teasing and keeping her from coming. He grinned at her, enjoying the taunt, meeting her challenge at last. At first, it felt really good. Like flying all the way up to the sky and floating all the way back down. But, after the third or fourth time, the grin on his face began to infuriate her. He looked so smug. So, she decided that she wanted to see him come, to watch those eyes of his lose their ambiguous stare. She relaxed, enjoying the feel of him, and let him do as he wished. Her body responded and again her orgasm began to creep over her. She let it, giving in to that delicious ache, like a warm waterfall, cascading over her clitoris. She began to peak, but as he started to pull away from her, she lifted her leg and wrapped it around the back of him. Then, quickly, she reached under herself and gently but firmly cupped his balls. He gasped, and she began thrusting her wet vagina back and forth on his cock. He hadn't expected her agression and the sensation was overwhelming. He looked down at her and when their eyes locked, Dana couldn't hold back any longer. Her orgasm ripped through her so fiercely that she let go of him, slammed her fists into the bed and cried out. Somehow, she managed to keep her eyes riveted on his face, almost daring him to lose control. Vulnerability mixed with excruciating pleasure dominated his features like a brazen, conquering hero. His eyes, wider than she'd even seen them, stared down at her, emotion in them as obvious as a parade. His orgasm was long and when she felt him shudder inside of her, she came again. Not as fierce but just as strong. When he was done, he lowered himself until he was lying on top of her. He buried his face in her hair and sighed. She ran her hands over his torso and buttocks. He was tense. So she gently lifted his face out of her hair and searched his eyes. They held a look that she'd seen too many times before! In a voice edgy and laced with disappointment, she accused, "You're afraid." Mulder closed his eyes for a moment. Then he looked at her and when he spoke his voice held a note of sincerity that she'd only heard one other time before--right after her father died. "No, Dana, I'm in love."
