Truth (4/12) by Fallon Category: Post-The Truth/Pre-IWTB Summary: Fluff and smut in a Mexico beach. :) Chapter 4 It took Mulder almost a week to recover from the bad water incident. But, if anything, it taught him the lesson to always use bottled water for everything while living in Mexico. "How long are we going to be here, Mulder?" Scully asked, popping open a bag of corn chips for them to eat with tuna salad sandwiches. She tried not to think about how much fat was in the mayo. She knew she had gained a little weight after she had William, but Mulder had lost quite a bit from the illness, and he could probably use the calories. He shrugged. "I don't know. Probably just as long as we need to." He took a bite out of his sandwich, chewing rather thoughtfully. Her eyebrow arched. "Which is exactly how long?" "Probably another week or so." "Where are we going after that? Do we have a plan?" She crunched a chip between her front teeth. "Our plan is to not stay in one place for more than a number of days so we won't be caught and me executed." She sighed, not really able to disagree with him any more than that. "Well, then, what are our plans for *today*?" "How about we go to the beach?" "The beach?" "Yep." "You have got to be kidding me..." "Surely I do not jest. Let's get our suits." She knew better than to argue with him, especially since he only wanted to go to the beach to make her happy. So, she patted over to the closet of their hotel room and got out her signature blue bikini. She also grabbed Mulder's classic red speedo, figuring it would fit him again after the weight loss. They drove about four miles to the next beach, and Scully could relish in the feel of the sand below her feet as she walked barefoot, carrying a pair of flip flops in her hand. She had a sarong wrapped around her waist. Mulder was already backpedaling in the water, and she ran to catch up with him. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into the water somewhat roughly, but still made sure to grip her waist tightly so she would not fall. The water came up to her chest, but only reached Mulder's midsection. She began to splash around freely, letting out a girlish chuckle when her partner tossed a fistful of water at her. It was fun for them to let go, in fact, so much fun that before they knew it, the sun had started to go down. "I think it's time we get to changing and heading home," Scully said. "Yeah, I think so, too," he said, taking her hand and leading her out of the water and over to one of the little changing huts. When they went inside, it smelled like sea water, but there were two stalls similar to the ones at shopping malls. She was just about to turn in to her own stall, when Mulder grabbed her and pulled her into him, letting his mouth crash down onto hers. His tongue pummled the inside of her mouth roughly and she let out a gasp. "Oh God," she mumbled, returning the kiss. He untied the bikini top from behind her neck, letting it fall to her waist, and exposing her breasts to him. He kneaded at her nipples with his hands, taking time to kiss his way down her neck. She could feel a pool of wetness in her bikini bottoms that had nothing to do with being at the beach. "Please," she said. He pulled his bottoms down as she pulled the fabric of hers to the side. Then, she wrapped her legs around his waist, her back up against the door of the stall, and he slid into her in one quick motion that had her panting. She dug her fingernails into his back, then gripped him by the ass, pulling him deeper inside her. They fell into a rhythm of quick, even thrusts, and with each one, his pubic bone rubbed her clit just the right way, bringing her to climax. He thrusted a few more times then emptied himself inside of her. Both of them struggled for breath, and he slipped out of her, turning to change back into his jeans and T-Shirt. She did the same, noting that they would both need a shower when they got home. After they pulled themselves together, they walked out of the stall. Noticing in the mirror that her face was flushed, Scully pulled out her compact, brushing some pale powder over her cheeks. They got their bags and returned to the car, stopping at a Burger King to get cheeseburgers and Diet Cokes. Mulder made sure to ask the girl at the counter to verify that the products were shipped from the U.S. She seemed annoyed but said yes. After they were done eating and making small talk while leaned against the hood of Scully's car in the parking lot, they got in and drove home. Always the doctor in fear of the effects of seemingly harmless things like saltwater, Scully went straight to the bathroom, peeling off her sticky tank and shorts, and climbing into the shower. "Are you going to join me?" she asked. "Oh," he said, going after her and dropping his clothes into the pile. He washed himself quickly, then began to wash Scully with a loofa mitt. He went over her whole body, saving his favorite part for last. He took off the mitt and soaped up his hands, running them along her folds until he found her clit. She arched up her lower back to meet the friction from the tips of his fingers, and soon she could feel the waves of pleasure washing over her. They rinsed off, dressed for bed, then fell victim to the demons of slumber at only ten o'clock, spent and exhausted from their day at the beach. As they lay there, recovering from one of the happiest days they've had in awhile, they tried desperately not to thing about the loss of their son--or the trouble ahead.
