"Sweet Home, Forever"
by Shelba

"Scullleeeee, wakey, wakey."

I open my eyes and see a sight that for months only graced
my dreams. Right here, right in front of me, is my spiky-
haired, stubble-faced, morning-coffee-breath, shadow-eyed
Adonis.

His gray T-shirt is adorned with a smear where he wiped a
catsup spill, his hastily purchased no-name jeans are ill
fitting and his blue flannel shirt is about as far from his
usual Armani as one can get.

He is beautiful.

My eyes sting and I blink to make sure he is really here
with me; the reality of his presence registers on sleep-fogged
neurons. I smile. This seems to dispel the vague unease 
hovering in his eyes. His lips curve up, and the hand that 
had been tapping my shoulder moves to cup my face.

God, I had missed his touch. I wrap my fingers around his,
then press a kiss to his wrist.

Mulder is a fine looking man at any time, but when he
smiles, his uneven features are transformed. He just -- 
for lack of a better term -- lights up, and at this moment 
he is incandescent.

Mulder had driven through the night, in spite of my asking
him to wake me so I could take a turn behind the wheel. I
don't know what particular thing it was that was preying
on his mind as he drove through the night, but from his
glowing smile I'd have to say the little demon seems to
have fled.

I'm glad. I'm not in a sharing mood right now.

We apparently are here -- wherever here is -- and we
both look like something the cat dragged in. I vaguely
recall stumbling into the room, and falling face down 
on the mattress. Behind Mulder, I see an ice-bucket 
has been pressed into service as a cooler, and the 
tops of two cokes peek over the rim.

I really don't think we've been here long, but Mulder
has had time to pull off my shoes, cover me up, and
unload the car. His face is clean and his hair damp, so I
deduce that he at least dumped some water over his
head before he went foraging. For about two seconds
I wonder if he remembered to get me regular --I
haven't drank caffeine-free since -- But that was "before"--

Before. "Before" will have to be thought about, dealt with.
Probably sooner than I want. But I owe it to myself
to face it.  I owe it to Mulder.

But I'm not going to dwell on that. Not when I have *now.*
So, I just breathe and enjoy the feel of his solid body
against mine, and his warm lips tracing my jaw-line. Then 
a swipe of his tongue on my earlobe dispels all other 
thoughts.

"What are you thinking?" His whisper prompts my eyes to
open. Somehow or other, they had drifted shut in response 
to his petal soft kisses.

If someone had told me a couple of years ago, that I would
ever be this close to Mulder, much less comfortable enough
with him to zone out under his caresses, I would have sat
back and watched him play Shrink with them. I try to suppress
a grin, but he catches me, and his brow crinkles in this
cute little way he has.

The utter absurdity of considering this long, lean,
sensual man as "cute" hits me, and I can't hold back the
smile. His eyes light up as they catch mine, then roam
away to study my face with the same intensity that he
usually reserves for tabloids and centerfolds.

He looks thoughtful, but his breath quickens as I
stroke his cheek. I can feel his penis stirring against
my hip and aside from the obvious, I wonder what
he has on his mind.
~~~~~~~~~

Scully may look like an angel when she sleeps,
but God help the poor sucker -- that would be
me -- who wakes her suddenly. I learned the hard
way and I learned quickly. You'd better be bearing
something with caffeine as a peace offering.
And don't *ever* say "good morning," until she has
replenished her caf-globulin levels. Lucky for me,
she is also a Diet Coke addict and the drink machines
here carry Coke and not That Other Crap.

Fortunately, she has awakened in a human mood, so I
roll her into my arms and prop her on my chest. "You
awake? Talk to me."

"Talk?" Her eyes widen and she cocks a brow at me.

"Yeah. Talk." My breath leaves my lungs in a whoof
of air as she flops onto her folded arms and rests her
little chin on the steeple of her hands. She regards me
soberly, but doesn't deign to answer, except to stifle a
yawn.

"I hope I'm not boring you." She smiles at me again. Wow.
Two consecutive Scully smiles in as many minutes, and no
caffeine, chocolate or shoe shopping was involved. I'm
tempted to ask her what is prompting this beneficent
mood, but I don't really care as long as I can just cuddle
her close.

"You want to talk." She sounds rather suspicious. I can't
imagine why.

"Yeah. You know. Talk. Confabulate. Converse. Discourse.
Discuss. Par-lay." I waggle my brows at her and drawl a
whisper into her ear, "Engage in Aaaaurrrrral Intercourse"
Now she's looking at me as if I'm growing a second head,
and an especially dumb looking one at that, but then she
laughs.

"Aural intercourse?" She licks her lips and cocks a lethal
brow. "Are you sure you don't mean some *oral* activity?"

My cock twitches like a hooked fish when she licks her lips.
My head, that would be my original equipment one --not a 
hypothetical second one -- or my little one eyed one -- is 
as giddy as it was the night she decided we should reenact 
a "partnership retreat" tradition. Well, the part with a cheese 
and wine par-tay, anyhow. I love it when Scully wants to play. 
I would never, in my wildest dreams, have thought she could be 
as playful as she is sexy. What a nice surprise that was.

I'm pondering a playful Scully, when it registers that
her warm lips are attached to my ear lobe, and her
breasts are almost within kissing distance. I really
hope I'm not dreaming, but as dreams go, this is pretty
nice, so I decide to just lie here and see if anything else
happens.

Hallelujah, something else is happening. She works her way
down my throat with lips and teeth, and I lie here and hope
I'm actually awake. After all, for months Dream Scully had
awakened me much the same way. She has my shirt pulled
up and my jeans unbuttoned, and I don't remember her using
her hands. Scully can do a-maz-ing things with her teeth.

When I don't move, my impatient little vampire bites my
collarbone, and says "Mulder. Strip. Now."

Strip. Oh, get naked! I oblige, like a puppy who just
graduated from obedience school. While I'm pulling my shirt 
off and throwing footwear, belt and jeans across the 
room, she quickly slips out of her clothes. I flop back onto 
the bed, hoping some other commands are forthcoming. 
Like: Lick, Mulder. Fondle. Stroke. Now, Mulder.

She seems to be oblivious to the collar and owner's tag she
has on me, and her lips trace a path down the tendons in my
throat, and down the center of my chest. She licks and
nuzzles the patch of fur there, like a momma cat washing
her kittens and when she licks my nipple, I pant and 
purr to show my gratitude.

The sound must not have met my queen's approval, and she
bites down on the pebbly nub. This elicits a growl. "That
hurt! You gonna kiss it and make it better?"

The bed jiggles with her restrained laughter and I haul my
smirking sex kitten onto my chest. If she's going to abuse
me, I should at least get to have her breasts visible and 
pressed against my chest, and feel her damp fur against 
my cock.

Fair's fair, after all.

She wiggles her pretty little curls against me and licks her
lips again.

A moan escapes my throat and I roll her onto her back.
I take a moment to catch my breath, and just look at her.
I never tire of looking at my Scully. She's an ivory wonder
against the blue sheets. Her red hair is splayed against the
sky-blue pillow and her lips shine from where her little
pink tongue has licked them. Her teeth have worried them 
to a candy-apple looking red. I bet they taste better than
any midway treat. Her eyes shine, as luminous and mysterious
as the Hope diamond. The gold of our cross shines in the
dimming light and her heartbeat pounds against my chest.

Does she know that she is my heart, my hope, my faith,
my life? If she doesn't, then I'm doing something wrong,
and need to fix it.  I seem to recall wanting to talk
to her earlier, but can't imagine what topic was so
pressing. Any deep discussions will have to wait. After 
all, I've just had an epiphany, and need to share it.

Kissing and suckling her ear, I murmur, "Scully, did you
know your ear-lobe is the same size and shape as your clit?"

"Mulder!" She laughs, but shivers under my touch, and one
quivering finger reaches up, as though to test the theory.

"You're blushing." I'm delighted. The enigmatic Dr. Scully
is blushing. I decide to see if I can elicit another flush
of color. "Check it out," I whisper into the aural orifice
under discussion. "Don't you think it feels the same as 
when you get yourself off?" I give it a quick lick. "Go ahead, 
Scully. Try it. It's not as tasty, but it's wet now."

Sure enough, another wave of color rises from the vicinity
of her toes and rushes northward. This is just too much fun.

I grin and act as though I'm going to roll away from her.
"Why don't you see if they really are the same? I'll just
lay over here and watch."

She rolls her eyes. "Sorry, Mulder, but if you are
entertaining the idea that you are going to watch me 
get myself off, I hate to break this to you. I have trouble 
masturbating to orgasm, even with a vibrator, so you are 
just going to be disappointed."

"Disappointed? Moi?" Just hearing her say masturbate,
orgasm, and vibrator in one sentence is enough to fuel
even *my* fantasy life for a month. Where's a tape
recorder when you need one? "No, Scully, I won't be
disappointed, you just won't get off."

This elicits a laugh and a slap on my ass. My hips jerk in
response and she smacks me again. My cock obediently nudges
against her curls. This seems to have been the response she
wanted, for she growls, and her nails dig in and rake up my
back. My nipples tingle in sympathy with my shoulder blades, then
she smoothes the marks with the flat of her palms, until her
fingers curl into the hair at the nape of my neck. She bites
my shoulder again and growls about finding a use for my
broad leather belt.

I think about Scully spanking me with my belt, and wonder if
the idea of her having such a power over me is appealing to
her. 

For a moment, I'm tempted to go and get it so we can
find out, but I've never really been into painful sex. 
There are way too many things to do that feel *good*, so 
I never saw the point. 

If this is some new kink brought about by the tender mercies 
of my Army guards, I'm gonna have to have a long talk with 
my body.

Suddenly I find myself thinking about the other, less
substantial visitors I've had during recent times and 
hope this isn't some kind of psychic connection to Krycek.
Or, worse yet -- Frohike.

I loved that little troll, but, as I told him once long ago,
he gave perversion a bad name. I'm almost afraid to look
around the room. I can see them now, all lined up with score
cards and an announcer saying, "That's a 5.7 from the
Russian judge! Let's hope the Geek judges like his dismount!"

Gee. Skinner already calls me the Poster Boy for Paranoia.
Now I get to wonder if someone is going to pop up, so to
speak, when I'm *busy.* I shudder, not even wanting to
follow that train of thought.

I guess I was quiet for too long, because I'm brought back
to reality by my very own mistress, the most rare and 
beauteous, wriggling, red-furred, tongue sucker, who obliges 
my earlier wish for instruction. "Mulder. Stop thinking. 
Start licking. And move that fine ass."

Sure, Scully, I can do this.

"Your wish is my command." She's wearing a smug 
expression, until I grab her arms and pull them over her 
head, pinning her to the soft mattress with one hand. I 
reach down between her legs to test the waters, so to 
speak. She's warm, wet, and hot as a Mediterranean storm 
and I slip a finger inside.

She gasps when my fingers curl up into her, then lightly
pinch her clit. Her smug expression flees, and her mouth 
forms a round "O" of surprise. Lashes flutter against 
my jaw, and sweet breaths puff against my throat.
I nuzzle her face, pressing kisses onto her translucent
eyelids and across the bridge of her proud little nose. I
suckle her ear lobe and murmur, "So tender, Scully. Just 
so perfect."

Next to her tiny frame, I feel big and oafish. I want to
hold her tightly, so tightly, that nothing can separate us
again. I'm afraid that the months of separation will make 
me too urgent. "You have to tell me if I get too rough, 
Scully. I need you so much." My breath trembles in my 
throat; my heart pounds and I release her arms. Seeing 
her surprise when I held her hands captive was exciting, 
but I don't want that. I want her to touch me. I want to 
touch her.

For so long, we never touched.

Her freed hands leap to my shoulders, and then she catches
my face between her trembling hands. "God, Mulder. I want 
you so much." Her kiss is deep, and I groan my pleasure
into her mouth.

Her eyes are wide and shining into mine, and I wonder, can 
she see what is in my heart? Can this much love be visible?
I hope so, for I know that I don't have the words to
express it.

I slide my hand in a soft caress along the silky skin of
her arm. I arch my back so I can reach her mouth. Our
kiss is deep, so deep. She gently bites my tongue; I gasp,
my eyes slam shut, and my whole body jerks with pleasure.
Panting, I smile against her skin and trace the line of her
throat with my lips and tongue.

Scully has a tender spot on her shoulder, just at the
junction of her neck where she loves to be kissed and
nibbled. Touching her there never fails to make her gasp in
pleasure, so I slide my mouth down her throat. Her eyes
darken in pleasure when I lick the pulse point, then, I
quickly move to bite this "sweet spot." Her wordless cry 
of joy makes my cock throb in time with the pounding of 
my heart.

After she catches her breath, she pats my hips and whispers,
"Lift up."

I brace my weight on my arms and she slides under me
so my cock sits at her opening. Her curls are wet and
I can feel her abdominal muscles trembling against mine.
She holds my eyes with hers as I caress her thighs. When
I part them and slide home, we groan in unison.

I'm nearly frantic with need, but I'm trying to be gentle.
I know that it's been a long time for her. For me, it seems
like it's been a lifetime since we touched. I could stay
like this, stroking into Scully, feeling her hot breath 
against my skin, but ten nails bite into my shoulders as 
we rock together, and I know I'm not going to last long. 
Then, another request for me to raise up a bit is gasped 
into my ear.

I really don't want to move away from her for even a 
moment, but I oblige, and she pulls her legs up so that her 
knees are literally folded under my arms. This changes 
the angle of penetration and with every rock of my hips 
a tiny gasp escapes her throat and her wild expression 
tells me that we have achieved G-Spot.

As if her expression and the tiny little moues of pleasure
she is panting out aren't enough, the position of her legs
has created a narrower channel for me and every stroke 
squeezes me like my fist, if my fist were capable of a 
quivering, quaking orgasm. 

The sweat that was beading up on my face is now a
trickle running from my hairline to my chin. Her skin is
glistening, and our bodies slide with the heat of our
lovemaking.

Suddenly she stills for a moment, then pushes up
with her legs and squeezes her eyes shut. The changed 
angle of her legs grips my cock almost to the point of 
pain and the sensation throbs along every nerve in my 
spine.  I don't know how she can breathe, I certainly
can't, but she gasps out my name, and cries out her 
love as her orgasm pulls her under. My hips jerk like a 
trout on a line as her quaking body pulls me after her.

I think I can die happy now.
~~~~~~~~~

Well, it's official. I am living proof that a woman can
walk without a functioning bone in her body. After
I pried myself out of Mulder's post-coital coma
clutches, I managed to get to the bathroom and only
had to use one piece of furniture as support.

Ok, so I walked along the wall, like a drunk in an alley,
but Mulder was splayed out over the bed, smiling
and talking in his sleep, so he doesn't count as a
witness. He was just lying there, murmuring something
about Greeks. Greeks? Ok, whatever. And numbers. 
I am really afraid to ask why he was muttering, 
"six, six, six"

By the time I finish my shower, Mulder has stopped
his mutterings and has migrated to *his* side of the
bed. Aww, how cute. He spread one of his clean tee
shirts over the "wet spot."

I pull one of his shirts on, and after popping the top on
one of the diet cokes, crawl onto the bed to sit
next to him. I draw the blue cotton sheet over him.
The cold sweetness of the soft drink rolls down my
throat, and I relish the contrast between the cold 
can and Mulder's warm body under my hand.

I finish my drink and place the can on the bedside table
and turn out the light. A yellow streetlight gleams in
the misty night. The beams of light polish Mulder's
uneven features and in this light, his chocolate hair
looks black and his skin glows with life and promise.

Oddly enough, suddenly I'm reminded of an antique piano.
When I met Mulder, he was as beautifully formed
and as sharp as a baby grand. Over the years, time
and trials, like the touch of reverent hands, have worn
down his cold ebony and ivory, and now he is all pale gold
and soft jet, and more beautiful than ever.

When I lean over to kiss him goodnight, his eyes flutter
open, and he sighs deeply. I expect him to just drop back
to sleep, but he rolls to his side and lifts the light
cover, and I slide next to him and rest my face on 
his shoulder.

Underneath me, he is as solid as oak and as soft as a
whisper. He pulls the comforter up around us and his 
breath warms the cocoon his body and blanket form 
around me. I feel as though I'm draped in velvet feathers. 
My eyes drift shut and all I want to do is burrow in for the 
duration, whatever that turns out to be.

He whispers, "It's good to be home, Scully," and pulls
me back against his body. He smells of sex. Of us.
I sigh with pleasure at the feel of his warm muscular
legs and the moist springy hair around his flaccid
penis. He is a cornucopia of sensuality.

Even as my body begins to relax into sleep, my mind
flits around, revisiting other times in other motels;
times we were apart by choice, by circumstance.
and the way we were forever shaped by them.
Though our circumstances may change, my choices
are clearer than ever.

I choose this man, these arms, this life. This home.
Wherever we are, whatever tomorrow brings, we are
together. His arms cradle me as we slip into sleep
together. Yes, Mulder, it's good to be home.

Fin~~~~~~

Fellow IWTB-er's, thanks. I doubt that I would have actually 
written and POSTED a smut story. This was fun. Thanks for 
making me do it. <G>

Ok, gentle readers, if you felt an ear lobe --yours, or someone 
else's-- raise your hand. If you checked out some other anatomical 
feature, when you're done, raise both hands. ;)
