   Virtual Season Three of Smut. I would like to thank   
   Jen and Lisa for beta reading this story for me. I've been   
   wanting to write this story for a long time ever since I   
   started to write fanfic back in 1998. The idea was always in   
   my head, but never committed it to paper until now. I'm glad   
   that I was finally able to write it. :)

   Scully tenderly brushed away the wisps of hair falling near   
   the corner of his lidded hazel eyes. "Mulder, how long   
   until he calls?"   
      
   "It could be anytime, Scully," he murmured. He was staring   
   at her ruby lips and it took all of his control not to give   
   her open mouth kisses, especially with their razor thin   
   hold as a unit at the FBI loomed over them. He imagined the   
   bigwigs trying to close down the X-Files for the third time   
   and he was beginning to become increasingly paranoid about   
   it.   
      
   If they found out about his growing feelings towards his   
   partner, it could be the end of them. He wanted to kiss   
   those lips and run his fingers through her silky red hair.   
   He wanted to keep on kissing her until they both came up   
   for air. He knew they really shouldn't do this, but he   
   wanted so much to make love to her. He noticed Scully   
   reaching for him until he stopped her. "We shouldn't..."   
      
   "I know. We shouldn't do this during surveillance," Scully   
   said with a sigh. She noticed Pusher wasn't anywhere near   
   the phone booth that they were watching, but for a moment   
   she wasn't thinking about the case - she was thinking about   
   their relationship. "We haven't talked about what's been   
   going on during the past few months. Ever since Comity, I   
   felt we've been drifting apart."   
      
   Mulder started to interrupt. "Scully, I --"   
      
   "Mulder, I don't want to lose you. I know I haven't exactly   
   been open lately. I'm still dealing with the feelings   
   stemming from my abduction."   
      
   Mulder's mind flashed back to the alcoholic beverages, the   
   cigarettes, and Detective White's advances to him. He also   
   replayed Scully's behavior. They had both done and said   
   some things to each other that they weren't proud of. "We   
   both weren't acting like us in Comity. I know I did stuff   
   that I swear I would never do in a million years; and I   
   know you probably did things that you wouldn't do, either.   
   I call that a no-win situation, Scully. There was something   
   off in that place. Weird." He paused. "I don't think this   
   is about Comity."   
      
   "You read me like a book, Mulder."   
      
   "I know," he murmured. "Scully, is this about what you   
   discovered in Allentown?"   
      
   She nodded. "Yes." She looked down at her shoes briefly and   
   then back looking in Mulder's direction. "I'm worried that   
   I might get cancer someday and it scares me. I don't worry   
   about it every single day, but it's at the back of my mind,   
   making me worry that I might not be here in a couple of   
   years. Just like those women. They seemed so convinced."   
      
   Mulder let go of the wheel and then put his arm around her.   
   "It'll be all right."   
      
   Scully stared at him. "If it's not?"   
      
   Mulder looked into her eyes, hoping that he would reassure   
   her of his devotion. "Then we'll deal with it together,   
   Scully. We're in this together."   
      
   Scully's lips turned into a beautiful shaped O at the   
   knowledge of his devotion to her. When she started to   
   speak, her voice became a breathy whisper. "Mulder, I don't   
   know what to say." She looked into his sparkling hazel eyes   
   and finally understood the depth of his love for her. "I...   
   didn't know."   
      
   "Know what?"   
      
   "I didn't know just how much you care about me; I never   
   realized how much you're in love with me, Mulder." She   
   watched as Mulder adjusted his seat to give him some extra   
   legroom. "Is that better?"   
      
   Mulder nodded. He was finally feeling a bit more   
   comfortable and relaxed than he had been just a few minutes   
   earlier. He inwardly smiled at Scully's admission about how   
   she knew that he was in love with her. "Now you know."   
      
   She gave him a soft smile. "Now I do." She paused briefly   
   and reached out to hold his hand in hers. "I know we're   
   supposed to be on surveillance, but there are things that I   
   want to do right now."   
      
   "Which is what?"   
      
   With that, she leaned towards him to kiss him on the   
   forehead. She smiled again. "This." Without any hesitance   
   on her part, she kissed him on the lips with much more   
   fervor than she had with anyone in years.   
      
   Their kiss was the start of everything between them. They   
   didn't utter a sound; they simply didn't need to. They   
   decided to let their hearts talk by showing everything they   
   had for each other.   
      
   Fifteen minutes later, they continued with their lip lock.   
   Only, this time, they felt their heartbeats quicken faster   
   than ever, knowing that it was inevitable for them to show   
   how much they love each other.   
      
   Mulder was the first to come up for air, but his voice was   
   low and breathy. "That... was the best... kiss that I've ever   
   had. You're quite a kisser, Agent Scully."   
      
   "And you're not such a bad kisser yourself, Agent Mulder.   
   On the scale between one and ten, I think you are a ten!"   
      
   "Ten, huh?"   
      
   Scully nodded. "Oh, yes! Mulder, you're a ten."   
      
   "Ten," he repeated, surprised. "I didn't know you would   
   rate me so high."   
      
   "Mulder, do you know how gorgeous you are?" She blurted the   
   question out and was almost embarrassed at what she just   
   said. "I have these fantasies of making love to you. Oh, I   
   know that's truly out of the professional realm of saying   
   so, but -"   
      
   "But what?"   
      
   "I want to make love to you. I want to show you how much I   
   adore you, how much I always need you in my life. You're   
   the center of my universe." She paused. She looked into his   
   eyes and smiled at him. This was the hardest thing that   
   she'd ever said to him and wanted him to know that. "Make   
   love to me, Mulder. I need you so much..."   
      
   Mulder nodded. He was too stunned to speak. His eyes became   
   intense with innate passion for her. Scully's revelation of   
   her feelings for him meant a great deal to him.   
      
   He started to kiss her again with a bit more confidence   
   this time. He felt the warmth of her lips touching his in   
   that wet kiss. He wanted to savor kissing her luscious   
   lips. He wanted to take his time and to finally make her   
   his in every way. "Surveillance be damned," he muttered. He   
   could see from the way she moved to kiss him that she   
   thought the same thought. "Scully, I want you... I seriously
