They talked a lot about hope and what the truth meant to them 
and ended asleep in each others arms on the bed.  Too exhausted 
to think anymore, to drained to unpack all their stuff and get 
it ready for the long journey ahead. They lay facing each other, 
his leg slung over her hips, their arms embracing each other 
as they slept for several hours foreheads touching as the rain 
pelted down outside their window. 

The light of the morning woke her first. It peeked out from 
under the drawn curtains calling her to move, stretch, get 
some stuff organized.  The man who tightly held her to him 
had different ideas.  As she tried to roll out of his embrace 
he tightened the grip his leg held over her hip.  

"Where are you going?" he groaned behind closed eyes as his 
hands started to run up and down her back.

"We have lots to do Mulder and it's morning already" she 
groggily muttered while pressing a kiss to his eyelids.

He shifted his body closer to hers so it was pressed tight 
against her frame and she could feel the bulge under his 
jeans.  He had other ideas that did involve movement but did 
not involve getting off the bed.

"Mulder" she whimpered "I don't think we have time for this."

"Oh contraire Scully, we make time for this."

"May I remind you that you are a wanted man..."

"Am I?" he countered with a smile on his face.

"...wanted by the authorities." 

"That's not as fun" he groaned and released his grip on her 
hip.

"I would like to do this as much as you Mulder but really, 
we need to get things moving and you still have not had a 
shower."

"So, it's the sand is it?"

"It's the death penalty that's really putting a damper on 
things this morning" she countered as she raised herself on 
an elbow.

"Way to kill the mood Scully" he joked as he got off the 
bed.

"Sorry" she replied and seemed genuinely sad that the morning 
started this badly.

"No, you are right.  How about I grab a shower and you catch 
a few more minutes sleep."

Mulder knew that she would not lay down for another minute 
but he wanted to at least suggest she enjoy the last bed she 
may see for a while.

He quickly stripped of his clothes and walked bare-assed into 
the bathroom for a nice cold shower.  As he shut the door he 
could already hear Scully opening packaging.

The cool water hitting his back was not exactly what he needed 
but it would do nicely for now.  As he scrubbed his body he 
noticed for the first time his weight loss.  There was loose 
skin that hung from his thighs and ribs he could feel as he ran 
the soap over his body.  All the months he had been away had been 
hard on him physically and emotionally.  Some days he had eaten 
very little and when he was being held by the military a 
well-balanced diet was not high on their priority list.  As his 
thoughts drifted through the days he spent in the military jail he 
felt a shudder.  It wasn't from the memories but from the cool 
breeze that wafted into the shower as Scully, naked as a jay 
bird, entered.  

"Hey" he said eagerly.  The shower was looking much more 
promising.

"Hey yourself." 

"Nice of you to join me" he commented as he stepped closer to her 
and ran his hands along her bare hips.

"Can we make the water a little warmer Mulder?  I don't think 
you'll need that cold shower."

In seconds he had turned on some more warm water and was moving 
toward her when he felt her hand wrap around his engorged shaft.  

"I thought the least I could do was help you with your predicament" 
she said as she pumped with a hand and started to run her tongue 
along his breast bone.

"Thanks" he gasped as he grabbed her ass and pulled her toward him.

He was surprised at her stance.  Keeping herself slightly back from 
him, when all he wanted to do was crush up to her, into her, feel 
her wrapped around him.  

Her hand slowly and methodically pumped his shaft as her other 
hand grasped his balls and cupped them.  She was quickly sending 
him over the edge and he didn't want to arrive there so quickly.  
Her sucking on his nipples and tenderly pinching them with her 
teeth was also making him go just a little crazy.  All these months 
of separation, all these months of only pleasuring himself made 
him want to savor this encounter all the more.  

Trying to take hold of the situation he bent to her breasts and 
started lazily tracing them with his tongue and sucking at them 
with his lips.  The water that trickled down them from the shower 
helped serve as an enticement for more licking.  The arch that 
formed in her back was exactly as he had pictured it time and time 
again over the many months they were apart. His hands soon found her 
vagina and his fingers her opening.  She again pulled back slightly 
and Mulder thought maybe she just wanted this to be about him.  
He wanted those thoughts to end.

"God Scully.  For almost a year I have been dreaming about this" 
he managed through raspy breaths "I want to feel you around me so 
badly.  I need you Scully, I really need you."

"Mulder..." she started but was quickly silenced by his mouth 
covering hers and drinking all of her in.

"It's been soo long" he groaned as she continued to pump "I need to 
be inside you.  Our first time back can't be just about me."

He moved his hand from her mound to his shaft and grasped her 
hand to remove it.  She slowly released him and seemed nervous as 
he grabbed her behind the knee to open her to him even more.

"Is this okay?" he breathlessly asked as he hitched her leg up.

"It's...it's..." she looked deeply into his dancing eyes and 
smiled "it's wonderful Mulder."

In a moment she relaxed and he crouched slightly to get his shaft 
in front of her.  She slowly guided him inside and he felt her hot 
wet insides pull on him as he entered.  Turning so she could place 
her back against the shower wall Mulder pumped slowly and 
methodically into her watching her face soften and her mouth 
open wider with each press into her core.  She was even more 
beautiful than he remembered when she shuttered and her nails 
grabbed at his back.  Her orgasm was silent as usual but not 
without the mind-blowing effect of a million emotions passing 
over her face in an instant. He loved that in a moment 
she felt everything all at once and it was because of him, 
because of what he was doing to her, in her.  

"Oh god Mulder" was all she could strain to say as he started to 
wildly pump into her, seeking his own release, hoping he wasn't 
hurting her tailbone as he pushed her up against the shower wall.  
Thinking of her well-being he moved his hand lower down her back to 
cushion her from the wall, hoping he could minimize the impact.  
When he came it was almost unnerving.  He had not come inside her 
in so long it was such an all-encompassing feeling of happiness and 
fulfillment he almost lost his balance and brought the two of them 
to the ground.  

His groan of "Sc...Sc...Scullllyyyy" was all his body would allow 
as all his other energy was being drained from his body.  

He slowly lowered her feet into the tub and released his death-grip 
that he was sure was now going to leave bruises. Slowly placing 
kissed on her shoulder he lazily rubbed circles on her hip.

"Way to surprise a guy Scully" he snickered half out of breath.

"I aim to please" she countered as he ran her hands over his 
chest.

He lunged in for a kiss and was greeted by a tender, soft smooch 
that almost made him dizzy again.

"I just need one final rinse and this is all yours" he said as he 
turned toward the shower spray reaching for a bar of soap.

He quickly did a final scrub and rinse and stepped out of the 
shower to allow Scully the time to clean up.

As he exited the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist 
he felt like the luckiest man alive.  Not only did he have a woman 
he loved who surprised him in the shower with mind-blowing sex 
but she was also willing to go on the run with him and give up 
everything to be with him.  Yes, Mulder felt like a lucky man.  
A lucky man who needed to locate clean underwear in one of the 
many bags that littered the floor of their room.  

The night prior the pizza delivery guy had arrived so quickly he 
hadn't time to do anything but go commando but now underwear 
was in order.  He started to riffle through the various Wal-Mart 
and Target bags when he spotted it.  A sight that sucked all the 
breath out of his body and caused him to feel sick to his stomach 
all at once.  

Like a flash of lightening he now knew why Scully had reacted 
by staying away in the shower as he advanced upon her.  That 
her intention as she hopped into the shower was not intercourse 
but to pleasure him.  Why in this moment he felt like the biggest 
asshole on the face of the earth.  Why she was probably in the 
shower right now rinsing herself out for all she was worth hoping 
that this time was not the time.  Not again.  As Mulder stared 
at the large box of condoms he now held in his hand he wanted 
to go back in time and take back what they had just done.  He 
wanted to give her peace of mind that, for the next month, he 
knew she would not have.  He threw the box of condoms across 
the room and it bounced off the wall with a smack.
