RATING: NC-17 SPOILERS: IWTB ARCHIVE: Yes just e-mail me please DISCLAIMERS: Not mine and making no money Chapter 25 He'd had to stop twice on the way home for her to vomit. Each time he'd leaned forward towards her and she'd thrown a hand back to push him away. He hadn't had chance to show Pheeny what he thought of his scare tactics, other than to tell Skinner that he shouldn't bring him to the house again. Skinner had agreed. He glanced over occasionally as she drove, watching her hands play nervously infront of her. Things had not improved when they got home. She immediately went upstairs. Before too long he heard the water running. He sat at the kitchen table, reading over and over about Joseph Lines. He had a little history although nothing that had caused him to serve any time. His wife worked as a secretary for Dr. Vincent and he'd have to agree with Pheeny that this would provide adequate opportunity for him to select victims. It did not explain Scully though. Nor the last victim. He watched as Scully appeared, dressed in a pair of shorts and a tank top. She made her way into the kitchen, busying herself in the washing up. "What are you doing?" Mulder asked, walking up behind her. "What does it look like?" She replied, not bothering to look around at him. "Don't you think we need to talk?" He asked. When she ignored him, he reached around her and grabbed the plate out of her hands, dropping it on the floor, causing it to crack into many pieces. She spun round to face him. "What is it that you want Mulder?" "I want you to stop pretending that our lives haven't been turned upside down. For God's sake Scully, tonight you ran into the guy that stole half a year of your life. This guy kept you in the dark and raped you for five months! I want to help you with this, but I can't if you're holding out on me!" It was a rare occasion that she saw him so angry. As he shouted, the vein in his forehead pushed against his skin. He did not relent. "Christ Scully I deserve more than this!" "You don't understand." She kept her voice quiet, looking at the floor to avoid his intense stare at all costs. "Help me understand!" He moved closer until he pinned her against the counter. "Help me understand why you can't talk to me about this! Then it hit him harder than any slap to the face. "You weren't there!" She cried. "I waited five months for you and you weren't there!" He retreated away from her, his hurt blatant. She immediately regretted her words. "Mulder I didn't mean that." She put her hands in front of her so that they rested on his chest. "You don't think that's what I feel every day? Don't you think I've lay here every night for six months feeling exactly how you describe on that tape?" "That's why I didn't want you to listen!" She retorted. "It's what I felt then, it's not what I feel now!" "Then what do you feel now? What is it that's making you want to push me away so much? So much that you'd go talk to Kretski about what happened?" "Because it doesn't matter what Kretski thinks! It doesn't matter what Skinner and Pheeny think! This doesn't change things for them but it does for us!" He moved closer again, grabbing her arms with his hands. "What? What changes things? What could possibly come between us now after everything we've been through? What could you say to me that would change things now?" "Because I was afraid!" She lifted her arms from his grasp and struck out at his chest. "Because I was afraid that you'd hate me!" "Hate you?" The confusion on his face was evident "Why would I hate you?" "Because of the things he did to me! The things I let him do to me! How could you want me after I did those things?" Her voice trailed off, as her body slumped against the counter. She bought a hand up to her face, rubbing the bridge of her nose and the corners of her eyes. "Mulder I feel like a totally different person now..." "You're not." He pulled her hands away from her face, replacing them with his own. "Nothing could ever change you to me." He rested his forehead against hers, feeling her breath beneath his lips. He waited, praying that she would make this first move. It had to be her. She reached up, taking his lips in hers for a moment in the most gentle of gestures. He prepared to back away, until suddenly her fingers went to the buttons of his shirt, divesting him of it in a sharp movement that left his heart pounding in his chest. With his eyes closed, he felt her hands going to his chest and resting there. "Are you sure?" He whispered, moving his hands down to the hem of her vest, feeling the soft skin underneath. She put her mouth to his again, this time leaving no doubt in his mind as to what her intentions were. Grabbing the hem of her vest, he pulled it up over her head, groaning as he felt her bare breasts touch his chest. She moved her hands to his belt, making light work of the buckle and the buttons underneath, whilst he pushed down at the shorts she wore just enough until she could kick them down to the floor. He pulled her up as she wrapped her arms around his waist, walking them over to the sofa and laying her down beneath him. She reached down between them, wrapping her fingers around him, guiding him to her entrance. For the first time he opened his eyes, watching her face as he carefully nudged his way into her, feeling her tighten around him, her body full of tension. "It's just me Scully. Just like all the other times." He whispered, waiting as she relaxed and he could move again. Two, three, four strokes and he filled her completely, the concentration he needed causing him to screw his eyes shut. "Oh Scully." He dropped his mouth to her shoulder, moving slowly, nearly all the way out of her, before pushing gently back into her, careful to control each movement. After all this time together, they knew each other so well in this way. This was by far the longest physical relationship either of them had ever sustained. In past relationships he had found that once the sexual discovery had dampened, his own motivation would diminish, seeing no point in pursuing something that had turned to the mundane. But this had been so different. Yes, after ten or so years the sex had become a little less frequent, and it wasn't always the mind blowing explosion it had been when they first got together, but he'd never experienced this level of intimacy with anyone. It was his intimate acquaintance with her body that made him stop now, sensing her anxiety. "Scully?" His voice lowered to nearly nothing. "Are you okay? Do you want to stop for tonight?" "No don't stop." She said quickly, putting both arms round his neck. He regarded her carefully, and she realised what he must be thinking. By now she was usually much more enthusiastic, both vocally and physically. Tonight she was quiet, and whilst he was in doubt her body had been ready for him, she seemed miles away in her head. For a moment he had a nasty thought. What if she was remembering that piece of shit Lines? What if she was reliving the torture but couldn't bring herself to tell him. As he pondered the thought, he could feel himself go limp inside her. He needed to rectify this before she reacted. Her self esteem was already at rock bottom, it would make things so much worse if she thought that his 'reaction' was anything to do with what she'd been through. He pulled out of her and got to his feet. "Come on, let's move this upstairs." He said. She eyed him carefully as she got to her feet. "What?" He asked defensively. " I'm no cheap date Scully I have to be wooed." Seeing half a smile, he reached out and took her hand.
