"Please" by Rhasa *********************************************************** "Kiss me". Her eyes raised to lock with his. Surely he must be joking, she thought. Another one of his quips that he bestowed upon her nearly everyday of their professional career. His bizarre way of thanking her for her doctoring and ministrations. But when she gazed deeper into his eyes, she fell silent, the humourous retort she had quickly prepared fading in her mind with the realisation of the level of emotion his eyes revealed. She still held his bandaged hand in hers, careful not to aggrevate the injury and cause him any pain or discomfort. But a sudden wave of fear made her release the grip she had on him. "What?" she whispered, still hoping that he had meant it as a joke, a way to ease the tension that lay between them, ever since he had showed up at her apartment injured and downtrodden as she had gone to him, to heal him with her skill and sooth him with her words of concern. Mulder had felt her question as well as heard it. Her breath caressed his cheek such was their proximity. And then he registered that she had let go of his hand and was backing away from him, already retreating behind those carefully erected walls of hers. His hand reached out and caught her wrist, gently but firmly, he held her close. "Kiss me," he said again. He watched her as she inhaled sharply, partly due from shock, partly from fear, and partly, as he secretly hoped, from the desire that she had fleetingly allowed to surface from the hidden depths inside her. And then he saw her blink, and he knew that she had shaken herself from the dreamy stare she had only seconds before adopted. She had come to her senses. "Mulder-" she began, but was cut off by his left hand raising to cup her cheek. "Just....... kiss me," he said once more. "Please," he added. His last words were whispered and full of pain. And then she realised that she couldn't refuse him ....... nor did she want to. THE END *********************************************************** Told you it would be a quick one.
