Reilly: freilly@prodigy.net Parabiosis Here she was, once again, in total darkness, in the throes of passion. She had sworn to herself that she would never let Mulder get her into this position, again. But here she was, moaning under her breath; panting like the star pupil in a Lamaze class; unable to control her sexual attraction for Mulder. His hand was splayed against her abdomen, pressing her spooned against his groin. She was very near the edge, now. The slightest movement could topple her over the edge...figuratively and literally! How had she gotten into this predicament? Could one actually consider fear and an adreline rush as foreplay? Did the old cliche about your life passing before you eyes actually refer to your SEX life? She felt Mulder pivot his body with hers to the left. She clutched wildly at anything she could grasp. Arms flailing, she reached behind her and found Mulder's buttocks with both hands. Her mind wandered in that moment to his lips...and wondered how it would feel...how it would taste...to run her tongue across his pouty lower lip. 'Don't go there!' she cautioned herself - too late. Her whole body stiffened and her head jerked back against his chest as she called his name out loud, "Mulder!" In her paroxysms of release, she thought she heard him whisper her first name against her hair. She let out a slow moaning sigh. "Dammit, Dammit, Dammit!" Mulder hoped that by saying this aloud, she would be convinced that she didn't hear him mutter Dana. He had her back on firm footing now. He understood that she was only clutching him by his rear because the earth had opened up underneath her and she was afraid she would fall into the abyss in front of them. He was also thinking that it was a good thing that they were in total darkness. This way, she would not notice his flushed face and could not confirm any suspicions of the bulge she might feel in his jeans. "Don't worry. Even if I lose my grip on you, we've got the spelunking gear. I won't let you fall." Mulder tried to speak to her in a soothing voice to calm her fears - and his own! She was really trembling, now, and her knees had nearly let her collapse right after he had moved her away from the hole in the cave's floor. "Do you really want me, Mulder, or is that a spare flashlight in your pocket?" Scully tried to distract him from any telepathic vibes she may have given him about her erotic experience. After fumbling for a moment, Mulder flicked on the spare flashlight that was hanging from a hook on the side the toolbelt that she had given him last Christmas. They had both dropped their flashlights when the cave-in occurred in the floor a moment ago. Now that they had some light, he removed his hand from her and led her by a light touch on her arm away from the hole in the ground. "Mulder, I don't think we'll ever find where they moved those miles of files from the caverns behind Strughold Mining Company. They might not even be in this country any more." "I think you're right. They aren't here in this cave. But I can only try to check out each lead that sounds promising. I really thought we would catch up with the proof we need, this time. I am sorry that little accident back there scared you. Are you hurt? I thought I heard you gasp in pain back there." "No. I'm not hurt. I just had a fleeting thought about bats in my hair when the lights went out," Scully joked. She was really glad that he had misinterpreted her movements and gasp. Her face felt cool enough now to turn to face him. "I think we should go back, Mulder. There doesn't seem to be any evidence of files here now." the end "Go ahead! Change your life."
