Something was clearly on her mind. "Wanna talk about it?" he asked, touching her arm. "Nope. Nothing to talk about." Scully tried to smile as she pushed the drawer closed. She sat down on her side of the room and stared down at the papers in front of her, chewing on her pen. She tried not to look up at Mulder. He let the silence between them increase until it was deafening. He shoved the chair back. "Come on, it's quitting time. We're getting out of here and we're doing something that doesn't involve a case. Just you and me." He held out her suit jacket. It was on the tip of Scully's tongue to protest, but she found herself agreeing. "What did you have in mind?" "Haven't thought that part through. I just know I can't watch you fight your inner demons.and we can't talk here." Mulder held the door open. "Right?" Scully followed him to the elevators and then to the parkade. "My car broke down on the way down to work this morning.So I have a rental." Mulder stopped at a silver Jeep Wrangler. Scully wordlessly got into the passenger side. "Any thoughts on where you want to go?" Mulder inquired. "The park? I have this sudden urge to feed pigeons." "Then feed pigeons it is." Mulder reached across and snapped on her seatbelt. "Can't have you falling out now, can we?" Scully closed her eyes as a shiver ran down her body. She automatically reprimanded herself. "Scully?" "Yeah?" "I...uh..never mind." Mulder put the key in the ignition and pulled out of the parking lot. Part 2 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Scully mentally sighed as she unbuckled her seatbelt when Mulder brought the car to a stop fifteen minutes later. "We .ah.we should get some bread." Scully was already starting for the booth. She gave the vendor a dollar." Always one step ahead of me," Mulder muttered more to himself then to her. He waited for her by the stone fountain. She gave him a bag of bread, deliberately trying to not touch his hand. He put his other hand on top of hers and held her hand between his for a brief second. "You sure you're okay?" "I'm fine, Mulder." Scully smiled. "I'm always fine when I'm out here. It's relaxing." "If you need a break from the X-Files.from me. I understand..." Mulder couldn't look at her. He was too afraid to see his own fears reflected in her eyes. Slowly Scully took his hand. "I couldn't do that to you. I just.I was thinking about the whole hypnosis thing with you and Melissa." "What part?" "How even then we were only friends." She didn't realize it at first that Mulder could see her eyes. "Scully, we're not friends." She tried not to cry as she stood up, intent on moving away from him. "I see.." Mulder grabbed her arm. "We're so much more than friends." The tears managed to fall down her cheek. He released her arm. "If it's not what you want, I understand." "What if it is?" Scully whispered. Mulder swallowed hard. "You want this...me.us..." "I don't want to scare you, but yes," she whispered again. "Scare me.are you kidding?" Mulder smiled slowly as he put his hand down and into hers. "Scully, you could never scare me." Her body relaxed slightly as she gave his hand a gentle squeeze. "Got any more crumbs in there?" She looked in his bag. Mulder handed her his nearly-full bag of bread crumbs. He'd been too busy watching her feed pigeons. Scully smiled, taking his hand and putting it in the bag. She took his hand out and emptied the crumbs on the ground where the pigeons were still waiting. It took all of his willpower not to take her in his arms and kiss her right there. He needed to know that she was ready for that step. He kissed her cheek softly and pulled her in front of him as they finished feeding the pigeons together. The kiss on her cheek made her tingle. She turned around, taking a chance. She kissed his lips softly, pulling back and monitoring his reaction. Mulder closed his eyes and let a soft breath escape. "Dana." he whispered. "It's okay," Scully whispered back. "It's never okay when it's you..." Mulder pulled her closer and wrapped his jacket around her small frame. She rested her head against him. "It's cold," he said into her hair. "Maybe we should go," Scully suggested. "But you fit..." "We'll continue this...just inside where it's warmer. And more private." "Private.Scully...I'm not sure.oh god...I won't be able to keep my hands off you," Mulder said, holding her face in his hands. "I thought that was the idea," Scully said with a small smile. Mulder groaned and closed his eyes. "I don't want to rush this...us. I can't lose you." "You're not rushing, me, Mulder," she said softly. He cupped her chin. "But if makes you more comfortable, we'll go slowly," she added. "I'm ready," Mulder kissed her chin, then her mouth. Scully's eyes stayed closed for a moment. "Let's go." Mulder took her hand lead her back to the jeep. "Your apartment or mine?" Mulder laughed. "Yours." Scully blushed a little at how she had blurted the question. "You look cute when you blush," Mulder said after he'd secured her inside the jeep. Part 3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Twenty minutes later, Scully was looking up at her building. Mulder brought the jeep to a stop and she undid her seatbelt, fishing for her keys. Mulder watched as her hands shook. "Hey...we can take this slow. I don't expect to be in your bed the moment the door closes behind us." Scully chided herself as she finally managed to put the key in the lock. She also swallowed back a curious pang of disappointment.there was a part of her that wanted to do exactly that. Once inside, Mulder took off his jacket. "You've rearranged." "I got bored with the way my furniture was," Scully said as she took off her jacket. Mulder pulled her to him and pushed the jacket from her hands. "Just so long as you don't get bored with me." "Believe me, Mulder...that couldn't happen", Scully said as she touched his face. "Dance with me..." Scully rested her head against him as their feet began to move. "We don't need music." Mulder head her as he swayed with her. Scully's eyes closed as Mulder's arms tightened around her. He slowly took her hand and spun her out and back to him. Only now her back was against his front. "You smell so good." "Close your eyes." Mulder watched as her face registered confusion. "Do you trust me?" Scully closed her eyes. Her heart pounded in her ears. Mulder slowly took her hand and touched his face. "Memorize me..." Scully's hands were beginning to tremble as she painstakingly ran her fingers down his face. He slowly went to work on the buttons of his shirt. "Keep going." Her trembles became more pronounced when she realized she was hitting bare skin. "Don't stop." "Can't stop," Scully whispered. "Don't," Mulder said slowly. His shirt was now on the floor. Scully couldn't do it anymore. She had to open her eyes and take him in. She pressed a kiss to his chest. Mulder's knees went weak. He grabbed the couch to steady himself. "Scully... Dana.baby..." "Easy, tiger." Scully smiled at him. Her arms went around him as they sat down. Mulder pulled her into his lap and kissed her hard on the lips. Scully whimpered. "You taste better than you smell." Scully's fingers gently resumed their probing as she kissed him back. "Bed...can I take you to bed?" Scully nodded, finding she was unable to speak. Mulder stood on shaking legs. Scully smiled softly as she supported him the best she could. "Never thought." Mulder fought hard to find the right words as he pushed open her bedroom door. "I know. Me either." Mulder lowered her to the floor. "Scully..." "It's okay, Mulder...you can tell me," she whispered reassuringly even as she worried he was going to tell her he changed his mind. "I love you." Scully's body relaxed. "I love you too." She smiled back at him. Mulder slowly pulled her shirt over her head. Kissing her collarbone and moving his hand down to her stomach, he lightly stroked every inch that he could reach. Scully closed her eyes, shivering at his touch. "Don't close your eyes. I want.I have to see you." "Sorry," Scully whispered. She opened her eyes again. Mulder removed her clothes and sat her down on the edge of the bed. She waited, she sure that he could feel her pounding heart. She smiled up at him as he studied her. Mulder knelt in front of her, kissing her feet then her knees. "I want to taste you.' Scully shivered, but her eyes stayed on him. Slowly Mulder moved toward her center. She arched against his hand. "Baby..." he let his tongue snake out and slowly run across her center. "MULDER!!" Scully arched again. Mulder gripped her fingers in his as he continued his slow assault on her center. "I.so close..." "Let go.baby.just let go..." "God..." Scully shivered. Mulder's eyes locked on hers as she shivered and convulsed around his mouth. She was out of breath and shivering hard as her eyes met his. He slowly kissed his way to her mouth, taking his time at each of her breasts. Slowly her hands caressed his back. Pulling her to the middle of the bed, Mulder removed his slacks and boxers. Scully smiled, waiting. "Do we...need anything?" "No," Scully whispered. "I trust you." Mulder slipped between her folds. "Oh, Dana." "Sssh..." Scully whispered, caressing him. He moved deeper inside her. Scully buried her face against Mulder's skin as her legs wrapped around him. "Tell me if I hurt you." "You're not hurting me," Scully whispered in Mulder's ear. "You feel so good." Mulder began to move slowly as he kissed Scully's neck and face. His breath was warm against her skin. He whispered," I love you, Scully...I always have.' "Sssh...I love you." The sun was just beginning to set as Scully came to rest in Mulder's arms. She caressed him gently as he shivered against her. "It's okay." "Heaven." Mulder whispered as he placed his head on her chest. "Don't have to go if you don't want to," Scully whispered, stroking his hair. Mulder sighed. "Then I won't." ***THE END*******
