   It wasn't long...not even an hour later that Scully was awoken by Mulder   
   tossing beside her and murmuring.   
      
   "Leave her alone..." he screamed. He was drenched in sweat. Scully thought   
   she heard her name.   
      
   "SCULLY! You promised you wouldn't leave!" Mulder's fist was clenched.   
      
   "Mulder, I'm right here," she whispered in his ear as she gently rocked him.   
   "Wake up, you're dreaming."   
      
   Mulder sat straight up in bed.   
      
   "Ssh...." Scully continued rocking him gently, as if he were a frightened   
   child.   
      
   "You left me."   
      
   "I'm right here...always right here," Scully soothed.   
      
   Mulder let her hold him while he sobbed. "She's never coming back."   
      
   For the first time since the investigation started, Scully was at a loss.   
   All she could do was hold Mulder while he sobbed. After a while, he quieted.   
   "Scully?"   
      
   "Yes?"   
      
   "Thank you."   
      
   Even though she wasn't fully convinced she was helping, Scully still managed   
   to kiss his forehead.   
      
   You never have to thank me," she said softly.   
      
   "I owe you so much."   
      
   "No you don't." Mulder looked up at her with a tear-stained face. Scully   
   admitted softly, "I love you. I'd do it all over again."   
      
   "I love you too."   
      
   Scully coaxed him into her arms again, lying down with him. Mulder thought   
   she was leaving when she shifted around. His arms tightened around her.   
      
   "Please..."   
      
   "It's okay," Scully whispered, kissing his hair. "Just getting comfortable."   
      
   "Good." Mulder nuzzled his face into Scully's neck.   
      
   Scully was still fully clothed and didn't feel comfortable.   
      
   "Might help if you took off some of your clothes," Mulder told her. Silently   
   he added Or all of them.   
      
   "I'll just be a second," Scully promised, choosing not to respond directly   
   to his comment. Her heart began to thud like a jackhammer against her chest   
   as she sat on the edge of the bed and removed her t-shirt. She could feel   
   Mulder's eyes on her.   
      
   He's seen you practically naked before, she chided herself. And that was   
   when you first met.   
      
   Mulder touched her bare back, feeling a shiver go through her. Scully's eyes   
   closed as she removed her bra and then her sweatpants.   
      
   He slowly removed his hand. "Soft skin."   
      
   Scully took a breath as she took her panties off.   
      
   "Scully?"   
      
   Scully crawled under the covers. "Yeah?" Her heart was still beating wildly.   
      
      
   "I won't be able to stop myself." Mulder's voice was shaky.   
      
   "I don't want you to," she whispered.   
      
   He slid his hand up her bare thigh, causing her to shiver. She closed her   
   eyes, beginning to bite her bottom lip.   
      
   "Scully...Dana...I love you," Mulder said as his fingers lightly danced   
   across her stomach.   
      
   "Love you too," she whispered as she shivered again.   
      
   Mulder kissed her stomach. "I can't go back to the way things were before   
   this...I won't."   
      
   Scully's trembling hand stroked his head, trying to comfort him.   
      
   His mouth slowly lowered to hers. "I need to be inside you."   
      
   "I think we both need to...." she whispered somewhat hoarsely.   
      
   Mulder pulled his shirt over his head. "Touch me."   
      
   Scully's eyes remained closed for a moment as her fingers touched his skin.   
   She started trembling. He pulled her hands to his lips and kissed them   
   tenderly.   
      
   "You smell good."   
      
   Scully managed a small smile. "I lotion a lot."   
      
   Mulder kissed up her arm and down her neck. He pressed her body back against   
   the pillow. He moved down her body, kissing every inch of her skin. His   
   breath was hot as her found her center. He sucked softly, making Scully   
   gasp. She arched against the bed. He slowly dipped his tongue inside her.   
   She moaned again. He gripped her thighs and slowly ravaged her with his   
   tongue. He didn't stop until he heard her cry out as she released.   
      
   Tears were streaming down her face as she came, crying out his name. He   
   slowly kissed his way back up to her mouth. Her body had a light sheen of   
   sweat. He liked the way she tasted.   
      
   "So good...."   
      
   Scully was softly sobbing as she hugged Mulder tightly. He held her tightly.   
   "Did I hurt you?"   
      
   "No," she said as she tried to get her breathing under control.   
      
   Mulder kissed her softly. "I will never hurt you, Dana...never."   
      
   Scully cuddled against him, breathing in his scent. A small smile touched   
   her lips as she got tingles all over her body. He placed a kiss to her hair.   
   He sighed.   
      
   Scully thought the moment was over. She felt a sting of disappointment. Oh   
   well, at least I can cuddle, she tried to tell herself.   
      
   Mulder's hand slid up her arm. "Dana..."   
      
   "Hm?"   
      
   Mulder's mouth found hers once more. "I need you," he whispered in a rush. A   
   soft moan escaped her lips as she was rolled onto her back once again. He   
   worked himself out of his jeans and boxers as he explored her mouth with his   
   tongue. Her hands caressed his back.   
      
   "What about protection?" Mulder whispered.   
      
   "I trust you."   
      
   "I know..." Mulder whispered. He gently parted her thighs and settled   
   between them. Scully involuntarily moaned as she wrapped her legs around   
   him.   
      
   "Talk to me," Mulder said softly. His mouth was on her neck.   
      
   "Feel good," she whispered.   
      
   He slipped his fingers between hers and pinned them above her head. He   
   growled. Her eyes closed.   
      
   He loosened his grip on her hands. He looked deep into her eyes. She could   
   see that he was fighting the urge to take her hard and deep. He needed this   
   to be slow and soft.   
      
   "Don't fight it," Scully whispered. "Do what you feel"   
      
   "I don't want to hurt you."   
      
   "You won't," she reassured him. Her hand caressed his cheek.   
      
   Before Mulder knew it, they had changed positions and it was Scully who was   
   on top.   
      
   "That's one of the things I love most about you. You're not afraid of what   
   you want...or getting it," Mulder said softly.   
      
   "Right now the only thing I want ...need is you," she said just as softly.   
      
   Mulder touched her cheek. "I'm not afraid anymore."   
      
   Scully began kissing his chest. "Tell me what you need from me."   
      
   "Just need to feel you."   
      
   Scully closed her eyes as she took him inside her. As she began to move, she   
   began to kiss down his neck. His hands were on her hips. He moaned as her   
   lips closed over his ear and sucked. She buried her face against his neck as   
   her hands grabbed onto his.   
      
   Mulder's fingers tightened around Scully's as she moved faster. "Dana..." he   
   moaned.   
      
   Scully began to nibble down his neck. He slowly raised his hips to meet her   
   thrusts. His grip on her hips tightened. She called out his name. Her head   
   arched back. His eyes hungrily sought her body as she writhed above him. He   
   stroked her nipples. She came a second time, calling his name before   
   shuddering and collapsing, out of breath, on top of him.   
      
   Mulder held Scully's quivering body against him. "I love you... love you so   
   much it hurts."   
      
   "I love you too," Scully managed between quivering breaths.   
      
   "Don't leave me...don't leave me like she did, Scully...I couldn't take it."   
   His voice was muffled in her neck.   
      
   Scully gently raised Mulder's head so he was looking into her eyes. She
