"This had better be good" "Scully, it's me, I need you over here as soon as you can we have a plane to catch out of Dulles at 11.42" "Mulder it's 5.30 couldn't this have waited? Even if our flight is at 11.42 that is six hours away" "Scully I know but I have to run over the case file with you and the sooner the better" "Mulder you haven't even told me where we are going, why we are going, what is so important to call me at this time." "We are flying out to Denver, Colorado, four showgirls have been murdered and at present the cause of death is undetermined, however the toxicology reports have come back negative and the local PD are stumped, so they have asked the FBI for help, and Skinner recommended us" "Mulder but it isn't an X-File is it?" "Scully that is what we have to find out" "Sure, Fine, Whatever I'll be over in about an hour, Mulder is there any connection between the victims?" "Yup, they all worked at the same strip club, the ginger giraffe...and when they were discovered the murderer left his calling card one ostrich feather placed delicately alongside the bodies." "An Ostrich feather okay Mulder this sounds like one sick minded pervert paying a horrible joke, but I still don't see the X-file" "Scully I'll explain more when you get here you know that I don't like discussing things like this over the phone you never know who's listening." "Okay Mulder" Scully placed her phone back in it's cradle, rubbing her fists over her eyes and pushing a strand of fire red hair behind her ear. (In Scully's head) I can't see why Skinner is assigning us this case it looks like a straight forward serial homicide to me, someone who simply has it in for showgirls and the ostrich feather is probably just his idea of a sick joke, he is getting his ya yas out by sending us all on a wild goose chase. Here I was thinking that I might actually get to spend my birthday at home for once but even if this isn't an X-File it is going to take us more than a day that's for sure. Oh well Denver here we come. Fox Mulder's residence 6.46am The elevator doors open and Scully makes her way along the familiar corridor, she has taken this path a thousand times before, but even now she still cannot calm the butterflies in her stomach, her steps become small and laboured until she is left standing outside Mulder's apartment her fingers tracing over the raised 42 on the door. (in Scully's head) I cannot quite believe the fact that I still get nervous when I am going to see Mulder, he's my partner, my best friend for gods' sake but somehow he manages to turn me to mulch. Snap out of it Dana it is work and you need to concentrate he cannot see you like this. She twists the door handle and enters the apartment, Mulder is sat on his black leather couch, in his trademark jeans and grey t-shirt, the case file scattered across the coffee table. "Morning Scully...I've been going over these case files and you're right it does look like a straight forward homicide to me, so we should be in and out of Denver in a couple of days." "That'd be good I could do with some time here in DC." All of a sudden there is a harsh tap on the door. "Mulder you expecting someone?" "Yeah my VCR is broken and Frohike said he'd come round and fix it before we leave, Frohike it's open come in" "What's up with the VCR?" "I got a cassette stuck in it, the eject mechanism is fucked." "Morning Agent Scully how are we this morning?" "I'm fine" "Good" "Hey Frohike do you think you could get a move on we have a plane to catch," Frohike turns his attention to the VCR, leaving Mulder and Scully to go over the case files. Twenty-five minutes later, Mulder and Scully are still locked in intense communication about the case file when Frohike plonks the cassette on the coffee table in front of them. "Hey Mulder couldn't have you doing without this cassette...this has to be your favourite isn't it the one with the cute little redhead in it?" Mulder actually blushes and the realisation that Scully is in the room with them hits home to Frohike. "FROHIKE" "Oooops Sorry" Scully picks up the cassette reading the title 'Oh my God it's huge'. (in Scully's head) Oh well nothing changes he is still watching this crap, but what did Frohike say about a redhead in this one, Mulder tends to go for, tall brunettes with chests bigger than their brains, maybe he does like little redheads, Dana drag yourself out of the gutter. "Scully it's not my cassette I tell you" "Yeah yeah Mulder like the rest of your collection in your closet and your desk drawer at the office." Frohike laughs at the interaction and he breaks the tension. "Well guys have a good trip and I'll see you when you arrive back in DC" "Thanks Frohike" **************************** The Sunset Motel, Denver, Colorado, 4.48pm A tall, slender dark haired lady, sat behind the reception desk, she looked particularly harassed and the reception area was full of people milling about with their luggage and children screaming through sheer tiredness. "I'm sorry Agent Mulder we only have one room available, what with the dog show in town and all the press in town because of those murders we are all booked out. You could try the delta suites or crystal lodge but the situation will more than likely be the same." "Yeah we have already tried there, this was our last chance." "I'm sorry there is nothing I can do at the moment but we should have two rooms free by tomorrow night." "Mulder we'll take the room here, otherwise we'll end up sleeping in the rental car." Mulder hands the receptionist his FBI credit card in exchange for the room key. She grins at Mulder and wishes him good day. Scully throws her a piercing stare if only to warn her off. (in Scully's head) Oh my god, that receptionist is checking out his arse, what a flirt and she is so open about it, can you believe it, hey girl, he's mine all mine. Whoah wait a second since when did he become mine? God I've got it bad I haven't felt like since high school when I had that crush on Ethan McIntyre. Room 1013 Sunset Motel. Scully hadn't even put her bags down when Mulder was on his cell phone to the local PD, by the look on his face Scully could tell it wasn't good news. "Okay detective well if you need us for anything we'll be in town till at least midday tomorrow as that is the first flight back to DC" Mulder hung up his cell and looked towards Scully: "It looks like this has been a wasted journey, Detective Anderson has a man in custody for the murders, so technically we're not needed, what is worse it is the profile that I faxed through this morning that led to the arrest of David Carter." "So we're not needed then?" "Nope, Carter has confessed to the murders, Carter is in his late twenties the child of a showgirl and he states that he wanted to get back at women like his mother, because of the way he was treated during his childhood. His mother used to take him to work with him and he was subjected to images that no child should see." "What about the Ostrich feather?" "The ostrich feathers are the one thing that led the PD to Carter, he was removing the feathers from an old stage costume of his mother's" "Oh well another waste of bureau money...what the hell it wasn't us that took off on this case Skinner authorised it, so technically we aren't at work Mulder" "I know Scully...fancy going out for a drink?" "Yeah that sounds good Mulder but let me change first" ********************** Room 1013, 10.34pm After several Vodka's and beers Mulder and Scully stumbled back into their room. "Hey Scully that was fun, we should get wasted more often, I have never seen you let your hair down like that before, you really know how to dance, you tired?" "Not yet Mulder" Mulder flashed Scully a mischievous giggle, a glimmer of excitement flashed through his eyes. "Scully I'll be back in a minute, don't go anywhere" (in Mulder's head) God she is hot tonight, and alcohol and one bed is making me think of her in ways that I shouldn't but how can anyone resist, I saw all the men in the pub ogling her, it felt good that she was with me, and wow when we were dancing she pushed herself so tight into my chest I thought I wad going to die, surely she felt my erection pressing into her abdomen, but not once did she move away. Does she want me as much as I want her? I think we'll have some fun tonight and for once I haven't forgotten that it is her birthday tomorrow I hope the store has some candles. (in Scully's head) What the hell is he up to? He is acting really strange...and wow he had an erection, and I caused it maybe tonight is the night now that could be the best early birthday present ever. ********************** 24/7 convenience store Mulder stumbled clumsily through the aisles, placing a 12 pack of beer in his basket, and a carrot cake. (in Mulder's head) Okay Scully will eat Carrot cake that is kinda healthy, well not as bad as chocolate mud cake now all I need is the candles. Hey bingo! They'll do a pack of 5 she's probably get offended if I put more than five on her cake. They look like the candles you put on a kiddies birthday cake but beggars can't be choosers and hey it is the thought that counts right. They'll do five neon candles.... all different colours this is going to be fun, pink, green, blue, yellow and orange hey nearly all the colours of the rainbow. Okay lets get this show on the road. Mulder paid for his goods and hurriedly made his way back to the motel room. ******************* Room 1013 Scully had changed into a pair of blue satin PJ's and sat flicking through the channels on the TV. "Mulder where have you been?" "I had to get something from the store and I thought it was way to early to sleep so I got us some more beer and I thought we could watch a movie or something...there is a pay per view channel on here" "Yeah I know I checked it out, there isn't much available unless your into sappy romantic comedies" "That'll do" "Really? Well 'Return to Me' is on" Mulder opened 2 bottles of beer handing one to Scully. "Hey maybe we could ditch the movie and have some fun, we never really talk do we Scully" "Of course we do" "No not like partners but like best friends, cos Scully you know I think of you as my best friend, my constant my touchstone," "You're right Mulder but we always have so much on our plates that time for ourselves is usually out of the question." "Yeah I know, but maybe we could make talking fun, you ever play truth or dare when you were in high school" "Yeah" "Well maybe we could play a variation of that and for every dare we do we have to drink a bottle of beer. What do you think Agent Dana Scully?" (in Mulder's head there is absolutely no way she is going to go for this, straight laced Dana Scully MD playing a teenage drinking game with spooky Mulder. "Okay Mulder but I get first go" (in Mulder's head) Oh My God did I hear her right, she said okay. (in Scully's head) I can't believe I'm doing this what the hell. "You ready Mulder.... let's make this more interesting lets get rid of the dare option and instead for every question you don't answer you have to remove an item of clothing and drink a whole bottle of beer." "Scully are you sure.... you're a little drunk" "Yeah I'm sure let's go....Mulder the video collection are they yours?" Scully nearly choked when Mulder began removing his shirt and began to down a bottle of beer. "Scully I can't answer that, so the shirt'll have to go, Okay Scully do you ever think you have chosen the wrong path?" "Mulder that's easy of course I don't every path I could have taken will have eventually led me to you, we were meant to be together." "Did you love Diana?" "Scully, I thought I did at the time but now I'm not sure, I think I was just looking for someone to help me feel better about myself make me feel wanted" Scully scooted closer to Mulder resting her head on his shoulder. (in Mulder's head) Okay I'm going to go for it "Scully do you love me?" Scully even through the intoxication blushed and simply began to remove her PJ top, and downed a bottle of beer. Mulder's hands reached for her's and rested upon the buttons on her top. "Scully you don't have to remove it...maybe this was a stupid idea" "Mulder it's okay I can't answer that question not yet and its only fair that I remove a piece of clothing." Mulder sucked in a breath as he was granted with the awesome sight of Scully's creamy flesh, a soft cotton bra cupping her pert breasts. Her face was almost as red as her hair but the alcohol soon made it into her bloodstream ridding her of her shyness. "Mulder do you love me?" "Scully not only do I love you, but I'm in love with you I realised that I loved you when you were abducted when I saw the photograph of you in the trunk of Duane Barry's car, I thought I'd never see you again and I realised that I couldn't bear the thought of life without you...........so ........yes.........Scully.........I.........Love..........You" Tears began rolling down her face and Mulder moved his large hands to wipe them from her cheeks, pulling her into his chest in a tight embrace, her sobs resonating through his chest cavity. Mulder cupped his hands under her chin and brought his eyes to meet hers, no words of communication were needed a thousand conversations flew between their gazes. Slowly he lowered his head and his lips met hers barely touching at first and then something happened that he could have only imagined in his wildest dreams she began kissing him back. Sucking on his sumptuous lower lip, licking around both lips and tracing the outline of his teeth, he opened his mouth slightly and was rewarded with her small tongue entwining itself with his, he was in heaven his hands moving up her soft, unclothed sides, sending shivers down her spine and sending a message straight to his groin. Scully uncoupled her lips from his and stared deep into his eyes. "Mulder I can answer that question now......I Love You, I just had to be sure that you felt the same." "Scully I'll always love you" Her hands skilfully made their way to his trousers and removed his belt, unclasping the buttons he raised his hips allowing Scully to slide his jeans down his legs, his erection now clearly visible, as it was tenting the fabric of his boxers, the title of the cassette in Mulder's VCR sprung into her mind and she giggled in anticipation. 'Oh My God it's huge'. Hands and clothes were everywhere they had unleashed seven years of frustrated passion in one act. Mulder lowered Scully onto the bed and looked at her for reassurance, she responded telling him exactly what he wanted to hear, they were so in tune with each others emotions that this was going to be one night to remember. "Mulder I want this as much as you" She pulled him down on top of her. "Scully I'm crushing you" Her only response was to lock her lips onto his not giving him the option of getting up, their bodies began to mould together like pieces of a jigsaw, once they had come up for air Mulder began showering tiny butterfly kisses across her collarbone, down onto her breasts, taking her right nipple into his mouth while massaging the left with his thumb and forefinger. Scully hips bucked off the bed. (in Scully's head) It is so long since I have been touched that if he doesn't remove his mouth I'm going to come right now, that has never happened, I usually need a lot more than this, oh My God his hands have moved down they are making their way into my panties, the only piece of clothing that is left between us, WOW. "OHMYGODOHMYGODMMMUUUULLLLDDDDEEEERRRRR" His finger's left their resting place and tugged gently on her panties discarding them with the other garments on the floor. Lowering himself onto his knees at the foot of the bed, he pulled her towards him, Scully gasped in pleasure in anticipation of his touch; she wasn't expecting what happened next. Mulder began licking his way up her thighs, teasing her opening with his tongue, her hands twisting through his soft hazel hair, then all of a sudden his mouth found her clit, sucking and licking her bundle of nerves, she was so close to climax, she couldn't even string a sentence together. "Mmmmuuullllllddddddeeeeerrrrrrooohhhhhgggoooodddddyeeesssss" If that sensation wasn't enough he entered two fingers into her opening while still concentrating his attention on her clit, he instantly found her G spot and continued with his rhythmic movement, her inner walls clamping around his fingers as her body thrashed uncontrollably on the bad above him, not once did he remove his mouth riding the waves of her climax with her, waiting for her body to calm. He felt her small hands on his head pulling him towards her body, he responded and was soon lying on the bed alongside a now panting Scully. "Scully you look beautiful, you taste beautiful" His lips found hers she could taste herself on him and found that strangely arousing, he was the perfect gentleman end even though his erection was now causing him a great deal of discomfort he waited for her invitation. "Mulder.......I want you inside me now" "You sure Scully? You don't have to do this....I don't want you to feel pressured or wake up in the morning to regret this" "Mulder it has taken us seven years to get here, I don't want to wait another seven years to have all of you, please Mulder make love to me" "Scully I love you" "I know" Mulder slowly entered himself into her, her tight walls clamping him all the way in, he lay still for a moment frightened of hurting her, she was so small and tight it was the most awesome feeling he had ever experienced. "Mulder move" He responded by slowly withdrawing and plunging back in, her gasps spurred him on even further, he continued with the slow rhythmic motion for a few minutes she wrapped her thighs tight around his pulling him deeper into her, deeper than he ever thought he could go, the head of his cock nudging her cervix. "Mulder harder, I'm so close" The movement speeded up and their breathing became more erratic and laboured, their eyes never removing from each other, he could see the love and passion reflecting in her baby blues, and her in his, she could swear that they changed colour every time he moved, the intensity of unleashed love was sparkling in their gazes. (in Scully's head) Oh my god is this really happening I'm making love to Mulder, am I dreaming again? Oh my god I'm going to come again already so soon, this has to be the best I've ever had I have never been able to come during actual intercourse before, he knows just where to touch me, we were made for each other. Her inner walls contracted around his cock, as her climax sent shudders throughout her whole body, this tightening of her muscles pulled Mulder to his climax and within seconds his hot seed was filling every crevice of her insides. They lay bodies intertwined until the clock clicked twelve and only then did Mulder speak the words that Scully only dreamed of hearing in this situation it made the whole atmosphere even more perfect. "Happy Birthday Scully.... I love you.... you are so beautiful...I love you and always will...I hope we can celebrate your birthday like this every year." Mulder slowly slipped his now limp cock from Scully and she gasped at the feeling of emptiness he left behind. Placing gentle kisses across her upper body and resting finally on her lips, they kissed for what seemed like a lifetime before Mulder remembered about Scully's birthday surprise. "Scully close your eyes and keep them tight closed until I say open them I have a birthday surprise for you." Mulder retrieved the cake from it's box and placed the candles on top of it and then he lit them, singing as best he could without laughing a somewhat out of tune happy birthday. Scully was finding it increasingly difficult to keep her eyes closed and as a rule she didn't like surprises hadn't done since she was a kid, but she could make an exception for Mulder, her partner, her best friend, her soul mate and now her lover. "Okay Scully you can open them" She felt the bed dip alongside her and opened her eyes to see Mulder with a grin spread across his face like a Cheshire cat, you know the one in Alice in Wonderland, a birthday cake in his hand. "C'mon Scully blow out the candles and make a wish" Scully closed her eyes tightly and blew them all out in one go and made her wish. (in Scully's head) I wish that Mulder and I remain together for the rest of our lives and that this new step in our relationship never compromises our friendship or our working relationship, I want all of him. "Tell me your wish Scully" "NO then it won't come true" Mulder gets of the bed and digs into his suitcase. "Mulder what you doing?" "I'm looking for your birthday present I made a note that I wasn't going to forget it this year, and now I don't think I'll ever forget it again." Mulder pulled out a small package that was perfectly gift wrapped and handed it to Scully, she opened it with care and attention savouring the moment, untying the ribbon carefully peeling back the paper. Inside the package was a set of aromatherapy oils and a small square box. "Mulder it's lovely" "Scully you haven't opened the box yet, go on open it" "In a second Mulder, how did you know that I love aromatherapy oil?" "I have my sources, and I thought that it would help to relax those muscles of yours after we have been working on a case.....and to be perfectly honest I was being selfish cos I dreamt of me massaging those oils into your skin." "Oh Mulder" "Go on Scully open the other box." Scully opened the box and inside was a watch, she picked it up and inscribed on the back of the face were the words: 'for my constant, my touchstone love M' Tears began streaming down her face for the second time today only this time Mulder did not hesitate in kissing her, to smooth away the tears. "Hey Scully maybe we could use that massage oil, are you game?" "Yeah later Mulder, all I want to do right now is to go to sleep and wake up in your arms" "Deal Scully, I can do that in fact I'd love to do that, I've dreamt about it for years." "Ditto" The next time Scully saw the sunrise mottling the purple of early dawn she was wrapped tight in Mulder's arms and felt that at long last she had come home.
