Must include the seven items below: A one bed fic. Mulder and Scully are trapped in one bed for the night. * A stuffed animal * A bottle of any drink...that WON'T open.* A really odd looking tree. * Mulder quoting rules that shouldn't be broken...AND agreeing with them. * A broken air conditioner. * A door that just won't stay closed. * Rules Are There To Be Broken The heat was becoming somewhat unbearable as Mulder and Scully made the long haul across the western expanse of Texas. There were no large cities on the way to Fort Stockton it was proving to be one of the worst journeys of their career, nothing much more than cow towns interrupts the tumble of plains, rock, mesas and mountain ranges. However not long to go now about 70 miles or so till they hit the town. The humidity in the air was so thick that the mist rising from the ground obscured the mountains in the distance. Scully had begun to close her eyes, sweat glistening on her forehead as an errant strand of hair fell across her face. Mulder resisted the urge to move the fire red strand and tuck it back behind her ear simply because it had been a hell of a day already and he didn't want to disturb her shallow slumber. She was following him again on what would more than likely be another dead end, a rancher in Fort Stockton had recently being losing cattle. They had been disappearing at all times of day and night and not one had been returned, however locals had reported seeing a ghostly tribe of Apache Indians in the locale. Indians that they swear were not human and disappeared like the cattle whenever anyone got anywhere near them. (In Mulder's head) god it is so hot in here, friggin Texas in the July sun. Here I was thinking this would be a great excuse to spend more time with Scully. It's sad that I resort to bringing her on these cases knowing full well that there is a 99% chance that there is no X file and we will go back to DC no further forward than when we left. Thank God we are nearly there the air conditioning in this stupid rental has been broken for at least the last 90 miles, no wonder she is sleeping. I want to sleep, a nice long shower and a comfy bed are just what the doctor ordered, but wow she looks good, she looks like a sleeping angel. Who would have thought she could look so peaceful after all she has been through? A lot of that pain comes back to me, it is a miracle she hasn't up and left yet. I would never hurt her intentionally, her pain is my pain, we are connected at almost every level, our relationship is stronger than the majority of couples in the world. Scully continued to sleep as the next 40 minutes passed leaving Mulder to take in the spectacular great ranges of the Glass and Barilla Mountains, their browns and greens emerge from the hazy blues and all different shades of cattle mingle in the sparse sandy grasses to the South. Mulder's mind had been in overdrive thinking about his developing relationship with his partner. He had come to a decision that although he loved Scully more than he ever thought possible, he could not take this any further. He had made many an attempt previously and it had not being reciprocated now the risks were too high, he didn't want to lose her friendship and would not be able to continue his work on the X Files without her by his side. In order to stop the hurt and pain later he had decided not to jeopardise what they already had in fear of losing it all. In any case FBI regulations forbade it and for once he was going to play by the rules. After all friendship was more important than anything else. Mulder reached carefully into the passenger footwell of the car for his bottle of water not that it would cool him down but it might stop dehydration from setting in. The water was hot to the touch, he placed the bottle in between his legs and tried to open the top with his free hand, no such luck the top wasn't going to budge. He cursed a little too loud, Scully stirred, smiling at him through tired lids. "Sorry Scully didn't mean to wake you…we're nearly there about another 10 minutes or so". "That's okay Mulder if I'd slept for much longer I wouldn't sleep tonight. Looks like I woke up just in time" Scully smirked looking at Mulder wrestling with the bottle in his lap. "Give it here I might be able to get it open". Scully took the bottle from his lap. Her slender petite fingers strayed lightly across his groin as she did so sending familiar tingling sensations across his whole body. He was willing his body not to betray him and stay down, he needed it to, he bit on his lower lip and concentrated on the road ahead. Scully tried somewhat unsuccessfully to open the bottle and just as she was putting the cap in her mouth to try and open it with her teeth Mulder caught a glimpse of her lips wrapped round the neck of the bottle. Her eyes deep with concentration, her tongue flicking out, and god this was killing him. How come now that he had made a decision everything seemed to be working against him, was she deliberately trying to get his attention? Did she even realise she was doing it? Mulder's free hand touched Scully's thigh gently to get her attention. She felt the heat rise within her from his touch, god she wanted him so badly it was almost painful, would this case be the time, she could only hope. (in Scully's head) Maybe I could make this case be the turning point in our relationship; he would die if I came onto him. "Scully just leave the bottle it won't open and the water will be hot in any case plus we are nearly at the motel and I can get an ice cold soda then" "That sounds good" ******************** Rawhoof Motel 9:06pm "Hey here we are…now that name definitely reflects the nature of this state…." Scully giggled looking at the neon motel sign flashing against the early night sky: "For sure Mulder reminds me of cattle and this is cattle country…do we have reservations?" "Yeah I made reservations for two rooms with adjoining doors of course as this is the only motel in the area and there is a cattle fair on this weekend". "Oh yeah cattle fair all those cowboys in town" "Yeah and we all know you have a thing for Texans especially those wearing a badge and with bucked teeth, what was his name again Sheriff Fartwell". "Mulder you know too well it was Hartwell". "Oh yeah I remember". Mulder stepped out of the car into the night air and Scully quickly followed as they made their way into reception. The motel was basic to say the least, you could tell simply by the reception, the whole place seemed to be stuck in the 70's, bad patterned wallpaper and false plants. Mulder made his way towards the front desk; a small dark haired teenager looked up from her study notes and smiled. "Howdy, do you have a reservation sir?" "Yes we do have reservations two single rooms with adjoining doors". "Can I have the reservation name sir?" "Sure it is Agent Mulder". "Oh ok…." The young girl began to search frantically through her logbook, and then looked up, her eyes filled with anxiety. "Ehmmm we have being trying to contact you all day...it's about the rooms". "Yes" Mulder looked on questioningly. "We have a bit of a problem …we only have one room left we were double booked because of the cattle fair…we should never have taken the booking however one room is better than nothing and we are the only motel in this town. We have put a travel cot and some extra blankets in there for you and will provide you with a complimentary breakfast and drinks as a apology for the inconvenience." Mulder looked over to Scully who was looking quizzically at the plastic plants covering the reception area, they were so obviously fake Scully had to suppress a giggle. Her eyes fixed on this really odd-looking tree she was undecided what it was supposed to look like, the leaves were large and shiny and a really bright shade of green, it had a dark brown centre. Mulder startled Scully out of her daydream world and called her across to the desk. "We have a slight problem they only have one room available and there is no where else to stay. It is this or nothing Scully". Scully moved in closer to Mulder so close that their bodies were touching and the heat radiating between them was becoming intense, sparking flames deep within. She spoke softly so that the receptionist could not hear her response: "Mulder one room will be fine I can sleep on the floor and it is not as if we haven't slept in the same room before, for gods sake you have seen me in my birthday suit many a time and me yours". Scully blushed, since when did she become so flirtatious? Her face was almost the same shade as her hair. "Okay that will be fine and thank you for placing the extra cot in the room". "Thank you Agent Mulder for being so understanding I was hoping that you wouldn't react too badly". The young girl handed Mulder the door keys: "Room 26 it's directly across the parking lot…do you need any help with your bags?" "No thank you we're fine". Scully hadn't said a word, she was thinking about having Mulder all to herself all night, one bed, one room and her partner, her best friend, her touchstone, could this be the time to take it further? There was no time like the present she thought, but then again logical scientific Scully stepped in. There is no way, you know the rules and it isn't worth losing his friendship. "Scully you coming or are you going to stand in reception all night?" "Funny Mulder, real funny" Scully replied sarcastically. ********************** Room 26, Rawhoof Motel, 9.38pm The room was basic and again it seemed to be stuck in a 70's time warp. Large floral prints and more artificial plants, a queen size bed was stuck in the centre of the room leaving very little space for anything else. The travel cot was placed at the foot of the bed with a neat stack of extra blankets and pillows, not that they would need blankets in this heat. "Scully you want to grab something to eat now?" "Mulder I am really tired I could do with an early night if you don't mind, but we should eat, I just can't be bothered with going out". "What about pizza?" "Pizza sounds good…as long as it doesn't arrive with a side ordering of vampire". "Scully what is with you today? God you're being sarcastic, and I think Ronnie Stricklen is long gone by now ". "Maybe I just don't like Texas". "Well pizza it is, any preferences?" "No Mulder I don't care, but if you don't mind I'm going to shower". "Go ahead Scully pizza should be here when you get out". Scully retrieved her toiletry bag from her case and accidentally pulled out her travelling companion. Mulder had flicked the TV on and was lying back on the bed propped up with pillows she was hoping and praying that he hadn't seen what had fell out of her back as she frantically tried to stick it back in, it was no good. "Scully!" "Yeah". "What's that?" "Nothing". "You sure it looked suspiciously like a stuffed toy to me" "Okay I admit it, Melissa gave it to me for the first birthday I had after I was assigned the X Files, she said I had to take him everywhere with me and it would protect me and she would be with me always". "Oh I'm sorry Scully". Tears began to well in her eyes; "It's okay, it is just now that she is gone I like to have him with me…and yes before you ask it is a toy fox it was her idea of a joke…she used to tell mom that I was sleeping with Fox and mom used to always think she meant you, Missy loved to wind people up especially mom and Bill". "Yeah I remember she was quite a character". "Okay enough confession time I'm going to shower". Scully padded slowly into the bathroom, her pj's in hand, closing the door behind her. (in Scully's head) Jesus this place gets worse I tell you there is no friggin lock on this bathroom door, shall I wedge it closed with the stool or just leave it. He'll only think I don't trust him, leave it open. The shower was running furiously steam billowing into the bedroom, diverting Mulder's attention away from the old black and white movie that was playing to the door that was left ajar. (In Mulder's head) Oh my god Scully is showering in the bathroom not 15ft away from me; I can hear the water trickling down her body, across her face falling in small streams tracing intricate patterns down her petite body. Oh My God Mulder stop it now, you can't do this and stop fantasising about your partner, that bloody door is pissing me right off it won't stay shut and it keeps banging back and forth with the slight breeze. Jesus she has been in there a long time. Scully painstakingly lathered her whole body making sure she didn't miss any inch, being in the shower alone gave her time to think, the hot water soothing away any of the aches and pains she had from sleeping in the car, the water seemed to be washing away all her inhibitions and fears. (in Scully's head) I'm going to do this, I think, no I am, god this is so out of character he'll probably run to the hills, does he want me like I want him? Will he reciprocate my feelings? Do I want to do this? Is it Mulder I want? Don't be stupid Dana it has always been Mulder and it always will be. A knock on he door startles Mulder from his daydream, and Scully instinctively jumped out of the shower. Mulder opened the door and paid the delivery guy for the pizza and returned to the bed, the aroma was almost irresistible, but since he had heard the shower stop and movement in the bathroom, he thought he would wait for Scully. (in Mulder's head) She has left the door open no harm in going to tell her that the pizza has arrived is there? Surely she heard the door but what the hell. Mulder rose from the bed quietly and made his way to the door pausing slightly and looking through the small crack. He knocked and waited for a response, his heart beating so rapidly he could feel it in the back of his throat, the hairs on his neck were standing on edge in anticipation, he had already set eyes on a semi naked Scully it was becoming too much, he just kept thinking of Skinner reciting rules and regulations and at this moment that was enough to stop him going with his heart. "Scully pizza is here". To his surprise Scully opened the door fully wrapped just in a small towel that only just covered her assets top and bottom, Mulder gulped and felt the tingling sensation flow across his now taut torso. He wanted her so badly it was becoming painful. "Thanks Mulder I'll be out in a sec ok". "Sure". Scully dried and dressed quickly into her pj's, the white silk felt good against her tired body, thankfully she had packed the shorts because it was hot as hell here. She left her hair damp and it started to curl around her face like strands of fire dancing in the wind, framing her creamy white skin. No time to blow dry it she was famished now and not just for pizza, in the meantime Mulder had changed into a grey t-shirt and he was looking for his sweats when she came out of the bathroom. Scully stood in the door way for a split second checking out Mulder's backside who was at present bending over his case digging for a pair of sweats. "Wow Mulder that smells good I'm starving". "Help yourself Scully I'm just looking for my sweats". "Just leave them and come and eat, it isn't cold". (in Scully's head) Oh Lordy, did I just tell Mulder to forget about the sweats and sit on this bed with me dressed only in his boxers and tee and eat pizza, what am I doing? They both quickly devoured the pizza with very little conversation and even less eye contact, both a little nervous with the situation, eyes scanning the room avoiding each other. Scully reached for a slice of pizza and her hand rubbed across the top of Mulder's they looked up at each other, eyes fixated on each other, pooling with desire and anticipation. They both moved towards each other, slowly, almost as if time was going in slow motion. Their lips eventually brushed and the passion released, Scully opened her mouth ever so slightly for Mulder almost begging him for entrance, he complied, his tongue swirling across her teeth and searching for hers, tongues duelling as the kiss became more intense. The whole sensation was taking their breath away, Scully gulped for air and Mulder frantically broke the kiss. "Scully we can't do this". "Uhhhh what Mulder". "This is totally against all bureau policy". "Mulder since when have you cared about bureau policy?" "Scully I can't risk losing you and if we take this any further they will use it as ammunition to split us up". "Mulder they've done that before". "I know but this time it might be for good and I can't risk that". Scully silenced him with another kiss, a soft tender one, her lips brushing against his plump, lower lip, making him shiver with the contact. "No Scully we can't". "Yes we can no one will find out". "Scully you okay, I have never seen you like this before". "I'm fine Mulder and this time I really am fine". "But….." "Mulder if I don't do this now I never will". Discarding the pizza box on the floor, Mulder moved slowly towards Scully. She was motionless, waiting for him. His hands came upon her hips as his mouth frantically searched for hers. Mulder kneeling directly in front of her, she was still sitting in the lotus position. This time the kiss was hard, full of want and desire, releasing seven years of pent up feelings and emotions in one act, it was explosive and magical all at the same time. They were connected now at every level, as partners, as friends and now as lovers, the feeling was indescribable. Without breaking the kiss Scully uncrossed her legs and moved slowly towards the bed bringing Mulder with her, he landed clumsily on top of her and moved quickly as if he was frightened of crushing her, his 6ft frame dwarfing her. "Mulder it's ok" "Scully are you sure about this?" "More than ever". She brought her mouth to his and her hands skilfully made their way under his t-shirt, caressing the feather like hair on his muscular chest. Mulder let out a small moan as the fabric in his boxers tented impressively, he was harder than he ever thought possible and all this just from a kiss, god help him if this went any further. Scully could sense that he was anxious. She knew that she would have to make all the moves because he would never forgive himself if he did something that she didn't want, but god she wanted it, she wanted it all, and had for a long time. Scully broke the kiss, only because she needed some air. "Scully you okay?" "Better than ever". "Do you still want this?" Scully didn't respond with words but with actions, her fingers deftly grabbing his now pulsating shaft, running them up and down his length and girth, slowly at first, rubbing the precum across his head. Mulder moaned in a mixture of shock and pleasure, his eyes closed tightly. Slowly lowering his head to Scully's neck he proceeded in showering her with soft butterfly kisses in all her tender spots; they were driving each other wild. Her hips bucked wildly beneath him, an instant reaction to his touch. She wanted to feel every last bit of him and him her. He held her tightly to the bed not too much pressure on her hip bones but enough to keep her still, he wanted to give her the pleasure she rightly deserved, they had both waited such a long time for this moment. His tongue was slowly making the journey south, stopping briefly at her belly button, tracing a lazy circle around the indentation. His tongue moving in and out of it, his hands still caressing the taut creamy white flesh of her hip bones. Scully felt the heat of his breath on her nest of auburn curls and the liquid pooling quickly between her legs, he could smell her arousal and it was only making him more hard, he wanted her now, but he knew that there was no way he could last very long so he had to please her now. "Mulllldddeeerrrrrr" He persisted with his voyage of discovery her cries and moans making it all the more worthwhile. (In Scully's head) Wow he hasn't even touched me yet and I am so aroused, no one has ever been able to make me feel the way I do at this moment. I am going to explode if he doesn't touch me soon, I want to feel him inside me it has never been this good. OH MY GOD!!!!! "oooohhhhhhjjjjeeeessssuuuuussssssmmmullllldddeeerrrrr" He had opened her folds and his tongue was now brushing the full length of her engorged sex, flicking her clit ever so gently, just enough to make the bundle of nerves tingle with delight and almost send her over the edge. Scully gasped as she felt not one but two fingers plummet deep within her core, he was moving them in a rhythmic motion, rubbing her inner wall successfully locating her G spot. While his tongue playfully teased her, taking care not to put too much pressure on her clit, he wanted this to last she was so close. Mulder felt her internal muscles contract around his fingers and hot liquid oozing onto his hand, he directed his attention to her clit and began to suck and nip it furiously, removing his tongue for a split second and then returning, all those years of popping sunflower seeds came into good use now. Her body began to convulse around him shaking violently, a scream escaping from her mouth. There was no way he was stopping his ministrations, his fingers kept moving and his mouth remained fixated, he rode out her orgasm with her, only removing his mouth when she collapsed back onto the bed bringing her hands above her head. Mulder removed his fingers and looked deep into her eyes, she looked beautiful, a post orgasmic flush resting upon her cheeks. Her eyes were filled with pleasure and love, a look that Mulder could only have dreamed of, he had created that look, why had they waited so long, they had missed out on so much time. "Hey". "Hey". "You okay with this Scully?". "Much more than okay Mulder …but…." "But what?" "Mulder I want to feel you inside me please". How could he resist a request like that? Moving slowly he placed himself at her entrance, he could feel the heat from within her. Mulder was shocked when he felt Scully take a hold of him and guide him into her hot core. Slowly he pushed himself in and actually stays still for a moment allowing her muscles to accommodate his girth, she was fuller than she had ever been. "Mulder move". "Sorry Scully it is just…. well… you feel so good…. so hot…. so…tight…I…don't know how long I can last". Scully raised her head and kissed him tenderly whispering in his ear, her breath making the hair on the back of his neck stand on end and sending goose pimples running down his back. "Don't worry about it, it will be longer next time I'm sure". "Next time". "Uh huh". Mulder began to move slowly at first, gentle long slow movements, pulling half way out and sliding back in at a painstaking rate. Scully crossed her legs behind his back and met him thrust for thrust willing him to speed up. Thankfully he responded and it became hard and fast, with every thrust brushing past her swollen clit, he was sending her over the edge again. "OOOHHHHH Sscccchhhhuuuullllleeeeeee you feeeeeellll sssssooooo gooood" Mulder continued to thrust into Scully's tight centre feeling her muscles contract around him was enough to send him straight over the edge, as they climaxed together they screamed each others names and stared deep into each other eyes, and as clichéd as it might sound, Mulder knew he had come home. Mulder's hot seed bathing every crevice of Scully's being, a feeling that could not be described, juices intertwined, they were joined in every possible way. Mulder withdrew slowly; Scully moaned at the loss of sensation, she liked feeling him inside her. He lay on the bed next to her pulling her into his arms, smoothing his fingers through her damp tendrils and lowering to kiss her forehead. "I love you Scully you know that". "I know Mulder and me you". They pulled close together and sleep soon followed, arms and legs entwined even in sleep. Her hand lazily drew circles on his chest and his fingers ran through her hair, every part of their bodies touching. *********************** 6:10 am Rawhoof Motel The sun shone through the slits in the blinds illuminating the whole room, making Scully's hair sparkle. Mulder stirred and was surprised to see Scully still lying with her head on his chest, even though she was awake. "Morning Sunshine". "Morning" Scully smiled a full smile . "I thought I was dreaming". "No not unless we still are". At that Mulder's cell phone rang and shattered the picture of domestic bliss, he reached for the cabinet and flipped his cell open. "Agent Mulder". "Hello, sorry to call so soon, this is Detective Anderson from the Fort Stockton P.D, there is no need for you to make the trip down here, we have found the cattle, it was just a bunch of kids dressing as Indians and hiding cattle on the plains. Sorry for the inconvenience". "That's okay thanks for calling". "Who was that?" "Detective Anderson they don't need us any more, so yet another wasted trip". "I wouldn't say it was wasted" Scully looked seductively towards Mulder and giggled as she lowered her mouth to…… Fin ~ I made this ~
