   She was in the nightmare zone, as Melissa had once described   
   it to her over coffee a year ago. They had talked about the fear   
   that Scully had about being in cramped places, unaware that   
   she had been locked in the truck of her own car after Duane   
   Barry took her on that morning in August. After she was   
   returned, she refused to deal with her abduction ordeal.   
      
   Although she had shared her feelings with her sister, she   
   couldn't let herself talk to Mulder about her foggy   
   memories. He prodded her a few times to let him in but she   
   was always afraid that he would treat her differently than   
   before. She wanted to remain the strong one for him, not be   
   a victim.   
      
   Some nightmares placed her back in the truck of the car and   
   other times, she was on this table in a bright room having   
   tests run by doctors. When Penny and Lottie told her that   
   the memory came back in pieces, they were right.   
      
   Scully knew she needed to deal with it - it wasn't going   
   away anytime soon. She needed to talk someone. She took a   
   deep breath, picked up the phone, and then dialed the   
   number that she had memorized by heart. "Mulder, it's me. I   
   was wondering if you could come over."   
      
   "I'll be right there," Mulder told her.   
      
   They talked briefly for a few minutes longer about the   
   unsolved questions stemming from their case. They talked   
   about what the diplomat wanted from Betsy Hagiopian, but   
   nothing substantial had turned up.   
      
   When she heard the knock on the door, she got up and   
   answered it to see Mulder standing before her. "Mulder,   
   come in." She led him to the sofa where she watched him   
   plopped down. She sat down beside him and she saw him   
   looking at her with his soulful eyes. In those eyes, she   
   felt the warmth of his affection for her.   
      
   "I came here as fast as I could," Mulder said, wrapping his   
   arms gently around her thin waist. He paused then added   
   with a wry smile. "Don't worry, I obeyed the safety laws."   
      
   She sighed. "I hope so. The reason why I called you -"   
      
   Mulder interrupted her, disentangling himself from the   
   embrace. "You're still worried about what those women said   
   to you."   
      
   "You know me too well, Mulder."   
      
   "Am I right?"   
      
   She nodded. "I'm scared."   
      
   He pulled her close to him again, feeling his heartbeat   
   quicken. All he wanted was to shield her from all the pain   
   in the world, but knew he couldn't. He wanted to be close   
   to her - to have her in his arms forever. "Come here." He   
   smoothed a stray wisp of auburn hair back from her face.   
   "You know I'm here for you, Scully. I need you so much. Let   
   me in."   
      
   She nodded. "Mulder, you know I will." She disentangled   
   herself from his embrace. She decided that this was finally   
   the moment she had been waiting for - to show him her love   
   for him. "I think we need to take this to the bedroom." She   
   paused, noticing his startled look.   
      
   "Bedroom?"   
      
   Scully nodded, smiling softly at him. "I'll finally let you   
   in."   
      
   "I don't want to hurt you."   
      
   "You won't, Mulder. I want you to take away how violated I   
   feel from my nightmares. I want to show you how I feel   
   about you - I can't hold back any longer." She gazed into   
   his wondrous hazel eyes and could tell that she had almost   
   rendered him speechless. "You know I love you, don't you?"   
      
   Mulder appeared to be shocked by this because he didn't   
   seem to know how to answer that. He decided to let his   
   heart decide for him when his lips pressed against hers. It   
   was the start of everything for them. "I know."   
      
   **   
      
   She felt that she has been making love to him for years,   
   even though this was her first time in his arms. Never   
   before had she explored her perpetually deep feelings for   
   him. Wet kisses bathing on luscious lips, skin to skin   
   contact. She remembered the gentle throbbing of his penis   
   when he entered her - and it gave her a pleasurable pain.   
   This was a release from the frustration of hiding her   
   feelings for him. It took awhile before an orgasm hit, but   
   when it hit, she took to it like a cowboy on a horse. She   
   rode the waves of passion to its fullest potential. This   
   was a truly escalating moment for them both, but never   
   explored by them until now.   
      
   She wished they had made love sooner than they did - like   
   when they first met. She wanted him then. She knew if they   
   had succumbed to their feelings that it could have been the end   
   of them. They didn't know each other well enough like they   
   do now - their feelings weren't as deep.   
      
   As she reached out and stroked Mulder's dark brown hair,   
   she'd been glad she came to him that night. She loved   
   seeing his bare skin in the twilight and bending down to   
   give him kisses on his chest leading up to those soft lips   
   of his. She hadn't yet said this to him, but he made her   
   feel so complete when she was in his arms.   
      
   There would be more nights like these, Scully thought. She   
   placed her lips onto his once more to give him another   
   kiss. Each kiss was more sensual than the last.   
      
   With his arms around her, she felt safe. For the first time   
   since her abduction, she knew she could finally face up to   
   the truth surrounding what happened to her. She could feel   
   her fears about dying melting away and knew that Mulder was   
   the one who had helped her deal with it.   
      
   She remembered how he had held her in his arms after she   
   had told him everything about the women she'd met at Betsy's   
   house and what they said to her. She told him that she was   
   beginning to remember what had happened to her during her   
   abduction.   
      
   He rescued her from her perpetual fear; she was out of the   
   nightmare zone. There was nothing to be afraid of anymore   
   because she didn't need to run from her feelings anymore.   
   Mulder was there now, standing right by her side on their   
   shared journey to the find the truth.
