XXXXX This is my original e-mail from Impossible Princess (PI) in May 2004. The only thing changed is all e-mail addy's have been removed as requested. "Hi, I'm the offending WIP abandoner. :) It's mortifying to read that someone remembers the torrid, horrid, OOC, bad, BAD smut I wrote I don't know how many years ago, but kind of gratifying. (Not that I'm under any illusions that you were interested in my writing, just the torrid, filthy smutty smut.) Sorry for peeving you off about the abrupt end but I've attached the entirety of what was written including the un-posted third part. I didn't post this because at the time, I didn't feel it was right to lead anyone on when I realized I had no intention of continuing it because it was really quite terrible in so many ways. This story I have completely disowned. I have no interest in writing it or being involved creatively whatsoever, except to say that if someone were to take it over I'd suggest they cut the sub-plot with Mulder having a daughter I was going for. If you want it and its many, many warts, it's all yours. Re-write, edit, search and destroy. Though I can see how that might be uncomfortable for you. Or better yet write your own damn Mulder is a really sexy prostitute story; I'd definitely read it. :) This name and email was a pseudonym created specifically for this story probably for obvious reasons. I don't use them in any other XF boards, lists etc. You can personally distribute the story to whomever you like but if there is an email address on your copy of the first two parts please DELETE it. Thanks. Make no mistake, this is totally, utterly and completely about the smut. So you can either get down here in the gutter for some fun or ride away now on your high horse sniffing about bad characterization. Your choice, I don't want to hear about it. princess" XXXXX That message was all I needed to finish this story folks but for several years I've procrastinated and finally I've finished it (Stalker's author's notes at the end). XXXXX Part 1 by Princess Impossible "YES, yesyesyes, oh please." She had expected it to be pretty good. She'd assumed it to be a given. She was paying for the service and hoped that she was going to get a good deal in return. "Yeah, right there. Ohhhh." The level of customer service she experienced however was so far beyond her expectations she could hardly believe her luck. She knew it was expensive (not that she didn't have the money for such a luxurious extravagance), or she had thought it to be until she tried out the wares. "OHMIGOD. OH, OH OHCHRIST!" Dana Scully had the best deal in town. It was supposed to be a one-off occasion; just a naughty diversion to be able to smile smugly in the mirror at herself, knowing what a bad, bad thing the good, good girl had done. But once had not been enough. She indulged herself a few times more, and over half a year her addiction had gone from once to once every six weeks or so, to once a month, to every other week and finally to a weekly basis. Occasionally, when she was particularly craving sex, even more. Dana didn't pretend to fool herself or rationalize that she was just reaching out from her lonely life. She wasn't lonely. She had her friends a phone call away; she could easily catch up with them and make plans. The truth was she had more money than she needed and loved to be fucked. And how. True, Dana Scully was a beautiful woman and had no reason to pay for sex. She knew any male with a prick and batting for the right team would probably line up around the block to get into her pants. He'd indicated he would as well--fuck her just because she was Dana Scully--but money was money and he wasn't about to lose his best customer. In any case she didn't want to be fucked by some John Q. Citizen divorcee, six figure income and in the market for someone to call his wife and mold into his mother. She only wanted to be fucked by William. He knew the game and was the best player on the field. She'd rather continue to pay to play with the pro-league than suffer a return to the minors. The official rules were that she had to call up the service and make an appointment. She did when planning days ahead with her work calendar from the E.R. at Georgetown Memorial but on warm and lazy afternoons in summer she could barely wait, even for a few hours. He had given her his voice mail number against protocol, strictly for "emergencies only." Said crises came frequently in the week before her period and William usually responded to her calls for help despite interrupting his down time. She knew he did it because she was his best customer, but he also seemed to enjoy screwing her real hard, the way she demanded when extremely horny. Today was one of her self-designated 'crises' and she'd left a message but he hadn't called back yet to confirm or decline her offer. On days prior days when he couldn't come at her beck and call Dana's frustration sky rocketed; and frustration without promise of relief by him got her seriously pissed. No dream lover had ever been so satisfying. Actually she didn't know much about him personally. Beyond his first name she knew that his cock was thick and eight inches long; he was beautiful and tanned; he liked it best from behind (a happy coincidence mistakenly revealed when she expressed her enjoyment of being taken in that primal way); his blood work was clean; he probably swam or ran having such taut stomach and back muscles, and that he was born for sex. It was his talent and he shared it; God had not wasted such a gift on him. He was a person with a life, she assumed. He must have friends and family, but surely not a girlfriend; she just couldn't for the world see him buying groceries from the market, visiting the dentist or gassing up his car. He was sex on a stick, and to her any other meaningless task he might attempt seemed a waste of time. His skill and the way that, when he came, his mouth opened wide and his expressive eyes were the most beautiful thing she had ever seen had her addicted to him. Sometimes, in idle moments she thought of him as her tom cat. He had soft but sometimes piercing green irises that almost disappeared when he was doing her. He sauntered and brooded into her apartment, sauntered and brooded out after she had got her fill, and he screwed plenty other pussy cats before he came back again. Dana was absurdly pleased with how one out of control fantasy and double- dog dare to herself had turned out. She thought it (it meaning scheduling a time for sex where services would be paid for) would be uncomfortable and the most un-arousing situation possible. As it turned out however, the most difficult part had been making that initial call. Now their arrangement could not be more perfect even if the sex was just great, not an un-fucking- believable degree of ecstasy. Commitment, 2.3 kids, a picket fence, minivan, pool and a Golden Retriever were not anything Dana Scully wanted in the slightest. She truly had it all. She had her own life and privacy, a family, friends, a cat named Foley, and a mind blowing fuck whenever she wanted. Speaking of which, that was what she wanted right now, but he still hadn't called back to confirm he was on his way to service her needs. Pissed, Dana decided to take action. She shed her clothes and flopped down onto her massive bed. She touched and played with one nipple, sinking into the tingling feeling, allowing a sweet haze to engulf her. Her core, already hot and slick with just the thought of him maybe on his way to her, buzzed and ached with longing. She squeezed and contracted her vaginal muscles, tormenting her body further with its emptiness. She didn't appreciate her old vibrator when masturbating anymore; he'd ruined it for her. She should really buy another, closer to his girth and see how things were then, but for the moment she made do with her hands. She ran one finger in a long stroke from anus to clit and instantly felt a rush of moisture; she loved it when a man rubbed his cock just outside her opening, teasing her unmercifully. She mimicked the action again letting out a moan. Her hand continued to tease the outer edges of her deep, blood enriched folds before leaving one finger to circle around the opening to her cunt. She was wet and slick, absolutely dripping. Sinking fingers as deep into herself as possible, she bucked up and down and rubbed and soothed her clit. The little bud was engorged with blood, standing out between the folds of her labia and she teased, stroked and flicked it unmercifully, imagining it was his tongue. A rush of moisture hit her at the thought of his tongue, his lips. She was convinced a fine woman, to whom many others now owed their deepest gratitude, must have coached him and taught him till he perfected it as an art form. She had suffered through many an unskilled oral performance in her time. Sure a few were memorable but there was a great difference between being able to strike a few notes and being a virtuoso. She was well practiced and it didn't take long. There was no point drawing it out, she only needed something to take the edge off her arousal for now. Nothing would satisfy her while there was still a chance he would-- *BRINNNNG* *BRINNNNG* She eagerly snatched the phone from its cradle, a voice rumbled down the line, instantly sending bolts of electricity between her legs. "I didn't get your message until now. Crisis over already, I assume." "No, in desperate need of attention. How soon can you come?" "Not now. Tomorrow night, when you've scheduled already." "WHAT? No, now!" "No, I can't." He was emphatic but she was more than a little ticked off, and far more than a little horny. "You're touching yourself now, aren't you?" he asked. "Yeah," she replied, a little breathlessly. "I need you." "You've got me, I'm here. Keep touching yourself. Take a hand and stroke your breast, twist your nipple." She did as directed, taking just a moment away from pleasuring herself to put him on speaker. "Mmmm, yeah." "You know, I'm getting so hard just thinking about you lying there on your bed naked, with a hand on your breast and the other in your pussy. Keep playing with your tits and keep that other hand stroking your clit, Dana. That's right, dip those fingers deep inside yourself and rub your moisture all over your clit." "So good." "Yeah, you're fucking excellent Dana. You know I love your cunt the most don't you? Out of everyone I've ever fucked you have the sweetest, the tightest and slickest cunt. And you always want it hard; you just want to be screwed like a whore don't you? Screwed hard, banged so hard that you can't walk, don't you? Don't you, Dana?" "YES, yesyesyes, oh please." "I want you. I'm sitting in my car with my pants undone jerking off. Fuck, I'm hard, real hard. I want to ram into you and keep at it forever. You've got both hands between your legs now don't you?" "Yeah, right there. Ohhhh." "Yeah, that's it, baby. You're so slick; your thighs are smeared with your wetness, aren't they? Dip your fingers in, get them nice and slick. Now, fuck yourself with your hands, three, four fingers. That's my hard cock sliding in and out of your hot pussy. Christ, you feel good. Nobody feels like you do, baby. I'm gonna come, fuck I'm gonna explode. My cock's pounding into your tight little cunt so hard it almost hurts. Can you feel it? Can you feel my cock slamming into you?" "God, yes! Oh shit!" Her head thrashed on her pillow and her body writhed on the cool cotton sheets. She could feel her orgasm building up and up, begging to be released. "Mmm yeah, you're so tight and my cock is bottoming out, hitting the tip of your cervix with every stroke. I'm pounding into you hard, so hard. Jesus, Jesus fucking Christ, I'm gonna come. My cock is hitting that sweet spot inside you, is it good?" "Fuck. Yes, yes!" "Come for me Dana, come for me now. Oh Jesus... oh FUCK!" With a hand buried between her legs and the other rubbing furiously at her clit she jerked and came hard. "OHMIGOD. OH, OH OHCHRIST!" Her heart's thudding slowed and her gasps turned to deep breaths as she came down from her high. "Thanks," she said sleepily after a long while. "Wait, don't hang up. Come over tonight." "I have other commitments." "Break them." "I'm coming tomorrow night and so will you," he teased. "Tonight." "No." "You just told me that my pussy was the best you've ever fucked and you expect me to wait over twenty-four hours?" Dismayed she used her most commanding voice, the one that sent her smart-alecky Interns ducking for cover. "I want your cock inside me tonight. I need it. Now!" He laughed. She was surprised and then secretly thrilled. It was something she'd never heard before. "No, I uhh..." "If you don't, you know I am just going to be laying here, touching myself and thinking about you all night." She smiled when an agonized groan came from the speaker phone. "It will be very late," he acquiesced. "I'll be waiting." She smiled and pushed disconnect. XXXXX It was almost three when William finally knocked on the front door of her town house. She'd locked it of course before falling asleep on her couch, wrapped only in a bathrobe. He greeted her with a short nod and followed her back into the living room. Stripping bare Dana sat down on the couch and grabbed two cushions. She tossed one to the floor and lifting her hips placed the other under her butt, raising her pelvis and opening her legs. He caught the drift but she signaled to him anyway, pointing one manicured finger at his head and then re-directing it to her sex. She wasn't wet when he began to finger her having just woken up when he arrived, but she was horny as a bitch in heat this week and it wasn't long before her juices were dripping down his fingers. He sucked her clit, fucked her with his tongue, penetrated with his fingers, drew circles around her rectum and lapped at her with long strokes from ass to clit till she came, howling like a banshee. She collapsed into sleep, so he stood up. He was still fully dressed and his cock was painfully tight in his jeans. There was no way he could leave without the whole world seeing the circus his penis was throwing in his pants. She looked dead to the world and he thought about just jerking off immediately in her living room, or maybe a bathroom, but he only knew of the one upstairs. He mentally shrugged and pulled his dick out of his pants. He'd clean up before he left and he highly doubted she'd mind if he jerked off anywhere in her house. Dana opened one eye lazily. "Hey, that's mine," she said eyes fixed on his crotch where one hand pumped his cock. He stopped and she frowned. "I want to see the whole show sometime but right now I still want to fuck." "You're the boss." He began taking off his shoes to remove his jeans, when she suddenly revitalized and scrambled up from the couch. "Forget the pants, I don't care. I just want your cock inside me." She led him into the dining room and laid down on the table her legs hanging over the edge. Letting his boxers and pants fall down around his ankles, she deftly unrolled a condom onto him and he slid into her heat, producing a moan from both of them. He set up a steady rhythm and fell straight into the pure joy he got from screwing her. Sure a fuck was a fuck, he would know since that was his job, but a fuck with Dana Scully was special. "You know what I want?" He figured she just wanted some dirty talk. Personally he liked to talk during sex as well, not senseless stupid ramblings but enough. "My big cock inside you?" "Well yes, always." She smiled. "But I want something else too." She usually just moaned, threw about some swear words, praised deities and occasionally did some dirty talking of her own. Why she wanted to have a conversation now and how she expected him to follow with her so hot and tight around him he had no idea. "What's that?" he asked with a grunt. "Tomorrow night, I want to try anal sex." With just those words he blew his load. He couldn't believe it, he usually had great staying power, but just the thought of how tight her ass would grip his cock rushed him to the finish line. He also knew he'd get an instant raging hard on hours later just thinking about her words. She was kind about his premature ejaculation, amused and flattered that he'd reacted in such a positive manner. He brought her to orgasm with his hands and, with an apology and promise to make it up to her the next night, he left, more than a little embarrassed. XXXXX Part 2 by Princess Impossible She recognized the fall of his footsteps as he jogged up the stairs to the door of her townhouse. She pulled the door open abruptly before he could tap the knocker. "You're late. I've been waiting." Dana crossed her arms over her chest and took a moment to enjoy the view. Dressed in black jeans, leather jacket and a clingy white t-shirt, he was an incredibly sexy sight. She'd told him not to shave ahead of time and she shivered in anticipation of feeling that overnight growth against her inner thighs. "I know," he said as he pushed past her. "You know? Well you probably don't know that when people keep me waiting for over an hour without an explanation I usually get pretty ticked off." Pretty impatient as well, she thought. She'd already chucked her bra and panties and was now covered only by a small t-shirt and a short skirt. It was too short for Dr. Scully to wear to work or out in public but very appropriate for Dana to wear around the house while she waited for her… what? Gigolo? Whore? Lover? She was about to drop her stoic, pissed-off charade with a grin when his eyes darkened and flashed at her. "I apologize for my tardiness," he said in a hard voice. "Though I'm sure you've managed to get yourself off at least once already tonight." She was taken aback by his tone, shocked that he was so harsh with her. Despite the fact that he was pretty close to the truth, her anger flared. "Where the hell do you get off talking to me like that? I'm not paying you a wheelbarrow full of cash so you can treat me like your bad date." "You're absolutely right; you're not paying me to talk to you, just to fuck you. Speaking of fucking, usually you've already pulled my cock out of my pants, got your legs spread wide open and are pleading like a whore for me to ram into you. So can we forget the conversation already?" Jesus Christ! What the hell was his problem? She was paying him good money and all she was getting in return was his pissy attitude. He was staring at her hard; possibly (probably) hoping that her shirt and skirt would disappear into thin air so he could get to "work." With those dark, impatient eyes burning into her, she felt even more moisture pooling between her legs and a pleasurable buzz washed over her. Dana squeezed her thighs together. Her cunt was already hot and dripping from just thinking about him and playing with her nipples for the previous half hour. "Fuck you. There's a whore here but it certainly isn't me. Why don't you start what I'm paying you to do?" She menacingly took a step towards him and reached down to grasp her skirt. Bunching it up over her hips, she revealed her trim, milky white thighs and dark patch of red curls glistening with her juices. With a dark look on his face, he sank down to his knees to eat her out. She pushed his head back before his tongue reached its destination. "No, you come here brooding and scowling, treating me with your bad boyfriend attitude. You don't want to go down on me, you just wanna use me, rut me. So fuck me up against the wall." "It doesn't matter what I-" "You're right, it doesn't. It's what I want now." He stood up and she tugged at the buttons of his Levis, freeing his cock. It leapt up to meet her hand, thick, purple and beautiful. She squeezed it and, with her thumb, rubbed the drop of pre-cum emerging from the tip around the head of the shaft. With both hands she then yanked her t-shirt up over her head. Her creamy, bare breasts bounced back down and she thrust her hips against his rigid cock. William growled as he pulled the condom out of his pocket and ripped the foil off with his teeth. He lifted her up by her ass and she wrapped her legs around his hips as he pushed her back up against the wall. His mouth found her nipple and he was anything but gentle, nipping, biting and tugging on her sensitive aureoles with his teeth. One hand found its way down between her slick folds and two fingers thrust up into her dripping core without preamble. He pumped his hand while working on her clit with his thumb, twisting and curling on the up-stroke, sending delicious sensation throughout her body. Dana had begun unintelligible moans punctuated with words. "Sweet jesussss ... uh oh fuck I'm gonna come.... Christ.... Oh FUCK, put it... in, now! In me, your cock... now! OH GOD!" She came with a howl and he removed his hand from her core and clit long enough to stroke up into her. The hard intrusion into her body prolonged her climax. The rippling, hot, dripping walls of her cunt gripped and released his cock, sending more intense orgasmic waves from her clitoris. She watched him bite his lip as he fought to keep from coming immediately. The strength of her vaginal contractions around his cock seemed to be almost more than he could take. When it appeared he'd gained confidence in his ability to hold off for the time being, he grabbed her by the hips and began to thrust in a hard, fast, steady rhythm against the wall. The pounding was creating quite a bit of noise and, in a brief moment of clear-headedness, she supposed it was lucky that she didn't live in a thin-walled apartment. Not that it really mattered much, she supposed; she was positive her cries and moans could be heard two blocks away. She was in love with the pleasurable ache created by being screwed hard. She loved the emotion, passion and frenzy it brought forth between two people--even those who weren't in a relationship. Tonight it was even more rough than usual, verging on brutal. The intensity wasn't something she felt she wanted regularly, but for now she loved every second of it. His cock continued to plow into her unrelentingly. The force with which he was fucking her made him feel about the size of a telephone pole with the strength of a battering ram. He slammed unmercifully up her cunt and crashed into her cervix, splitting her apart as she came again. This time it was with a high keening wail and uncontrollable spasms around his cock. With Dana's two orgasms, not to mention what she'd achieved solo before he'd arrived, the iron grip her vagina usually had on him had loosened and she was literally oozing lubricant onto both of them. His pace quickened and Dana could tell he was ready to explode. It seemed he was trying to keep what concentration he had left on angling his strokes so his pubic bone would grind into her clitoris. His actions were sending electrifying jolts of pleasure/pain from her hypersensitive clit throughout her body; she writhed and shook with each stroke like they were mini orgasms. Dana let loose a hoarse moan from her throat as her cunt pulsed and contracted, climaxing one final time before he finished. He pulled out and they sank to the floor, both gasping for breath. Some minutes passed without a word, before she stood up on wobbly legs and made her way to the staircase. William stood up as well, prepared to follow her up to her bedroom, when she turned back around and stopped him. "Thanks, I'll see you again soon. You know that the door locks when you pull it closed." "What?" his brow creased, confused. "You've got me all night. It's only half-past nine." She gave him a tight smile. "I know, but I'm tired and a little tender. I don't think I'll be up to it again tonight." "Christ, Dana. Shit, I never meant...." She nodded her head, understanding. "I know; it's nothing anyway." "You don't want me to stay? I can go down on you later. I didn't mean to hurt-" "No, I'm too sensitive. And I'm fine, just tired." She bid him goodnight and felt him watching her as she climbed the staircase gingerly and with care. XXXXX Dana knew she was going to be more than a little late for work as she gathered her handbag and briefcase and walked to the front door. She'd slept in again and it had taken her a few exercises and a couple of laps around her bedroom to walk out the soreness she was feeling from the previous night. She had been a little disturbed by William's behavior; something had been bothering him. Actually it was far more than that, she admitted. He'd been quite angry and upset, like she had something to do with it. She suspected that it was not her but rather his occupation that was getting on his nerves. She didn't blame him if he didn't like his job very much once in awhile. It was not something that other people or even his family, if he had any, would ever respect him for. In her profession as a doctor she received respect from not only her colleagues, patients and family, but society at large. Though his job was maybe the most physically enjoyable in the world, it could quite easily be one of the hardest. Determined not to be put any further behind schedule, she headed towards the front door. Making sure she was prepared to leave, she looked down and noticed a folded white sheet of paper with dark irregular lines printed on it laying on her door mat. It had apparently been slipped under her door sometime during the night. Curious, Dana stooped and retrieved it. Unfolding the note revealed several lines of hastily written, messy scrawl on one side. It read: "Dana, I'm sorry about the way I acted and my attitude tonight. I didn't treat you as you deserve to be and I allowed my own problems to interfere with our time together. I'm sorry and I hope this won't affect anything in the future. W." She'd got to know intimately a sweet and sexy, as well as a brooding and intense, William over the last six months and neither of them had come to her door last night. He'd been upset about something and she hoped he had someone he could share his troubles with after-hours. The likelihood of him having a wife or a girlfriend didn't appear that great in her opinion, and not solely because of his occupation. To say he was intense would be a gross understatement of the facts. Though she knew very little about William, it was only necessary to spend a moment alone with him to feel the passion and energy that radiated from him. It wasn't difficult for her to understand how such intensity could wear almost anyone down if they weren't up to the challenge. She smiled and glanced back down to the paper. His hand writing was cluttered and uneven, unable to contain the thoughts and emotions flowing so rapidly through his mind. A sharp contrast, she thought, to her own neat, precise writing; every idea was planned in full and then conveyed clearly and thoroughly. The paper was thick and rough. She flipped it over to see that it had been written on the back of a printed drawing. It was a blank page torn from a cheap coloring book and the cartoon was one of the most recognized figures in the world - Ronald McDonald. Dana examined William's writing once more, re-folded the note and tucked it inside her purse. She was going to be late for work. In private moments once or twice throughout the day, she took the note out and studied the handwriting, wondered about the origin of the coloring book the page came from. Neither the picture nor the missive would give her any more clues about the life or thoughts of its author, nor release any secrets. Nevertheless, she persisted in looking over them both for a full week until he visited her again. XXXXX Part 3 by Princess Impossible Sunday Morning. Dana slipped inside St. John's and down the center aisle to the fifth pew from the front. No matter what city, state or parish the Scully's worshipped in on any particular Sunday, they were forever to be found exactly five rows from the front. She bent a quick nod to the large crucifix hanging above the altar and sat down next to her mother. Maggie sent her a warm smile just as the choir started to sing and they stood for the beginning of mass. ********* The final blessing was given and people began to slowly file out of the church. Maggie was stopped several times, talking and exchanging pleasantries and introducing her daughter. With each introduction her mother made Dana began to feel increasingly guilty for not attending services more frequently. Every week Maggie asked if she'd see her at mass on Sunday morning. The answer was yes regularly, but more for her mother's sake than her own beliefs or salvation. Maggie attended confession twice a month before receiving communion, but Dana had gone only once since she had begun seeing William over half a year ago now. Seeing. Dana scoffed at her own euphemism. It had been six months since she had begun to employ an escort to have sex with her regularly. At the confession she had attended she felt extremely uncomfortable talking to the priest--not that she had any intention of confessing one particular sin. It would be wrong of her in any case to confess to something without remorse while planning to continue with the activity. She had nothing to confess yet and if she ever felt true remorse she would ask forgiveness for seeking the company of a prostitute. No, she hated that term. She knew William. He wasn't the male version of a common prostitute or hooker and especially not a whore. He was neither, yet there was still a problem of reconciling those truths with the fact she paid him for sex. Goddamn it. She didn't know WHAT he was. To her mind he was simply a gorgeous, kind and pleasant guy who was incredible in bed and beyond easy classification. He was intelligent too, not just a gifted lover. Dana smiled, pleased at her deduction. She allowed her mind to wander a little. William was incredible in the sack. That beautiful mouth of his on her drove her insane. She let the warm memory of Friday night wash over her. God, he promised he would make up for the incident the previous week and if she hadn't already forgiven him, he had earned it a hundred-fold two nights ago. He'd not forgotten about her desire for anal play and introduced her to a brand new level of arousal. He was magnificent, in body and skills. She loved the hardness of his chest and the way his face had expressed the beautiful ecstasy he felt as she rode his cock. When he came his eyes turned black and she remembered his face and a silent scream from his lips. Christ, his lips. She just wanted one kiss, just one chance to pull that plump lower lip into her mouth and suck; feel one instant of his tongue sliding over hers. God knows she'd felt that tongue on every other square inch of her body. She just wanted a quick taste. She'd tried to take that lower lip between hers a long time ago and he'd denied her, just as he had again on Friday night. "Dana? Dana." Her mother's voice pulled her back from her thoughts. "Sorry, what did you say?" "Oh nothing, my neighbor just said good-bye but you were a world away." They walked down the steps of the church and the short walk to the café down the street, their usual Fall Sunday brunch destination. "I know, I was just thinking. Sorry." She smiled sheepishly. "About what? Your date with Paul?" Ugh. She didn't want to be reminded. The date itself would have been simply nice, polite, and boring if not for the horrendous embarrassment both parties suffered due to being set up by their respective mothers. Paul Beaumont was a 36 year old, divorced, BMW-driving accountant; son of Heather Beaumont, fellow member of St. John's rosary circle with Margaret Scully. Dana had been coerced into the set-up after a phone call from her persistent mother who'd played on her ever-present Catholic guilt for missing mass the previous weekend. Paul had seemed to enjoy the evening and the Italian restaurant he'd chosen was good. In all honesty Dana had a better time than she expected, but said good-night without any real wish of seeing him again. He'd been pleasant and friendly, but overall the evening had been dull. The fact was that dull just didn't cut it anymore. They were quickly seated and done ordering. An unusual silence fell between them. The inquiry about Paul left her a little perplexed; there was a sharp edge to her mother's voice under the conversational tone. "I wasn't really thinking about anything specific," Dana lied. She told herself it was a white lie, just to give her mother peace. She could hardly tell her the truth; that she had been reliving the best sex of her life, which she was currently experiencing with the wonderfully talented William. "So, how did it go? Are you going to see him again?" The slightly acerbic tone was back again and this time there was no pretense to it. "It went fine and I don't know," she replied cautiously. She wasn't about to tell her mother flat out that there would be no second date. "What's the matter Mom?" "Dana, I don't know why you can't just tell me these things." Her expression had catapulted from carefully guarded to seriously annoyed in the space of a few seconds as she threw up her hands, exasperated. "Why do you have to be so private? I try to mind my own business but I don't see why I have to feel like I'm prying into my own daughter's life to glean some kind of information about what she's doing these days. I don't understand why you feel you can't share anything with me anymore." "What? There's nothing to tell. We had a nice time and we talked-" Maggie turned to face her thirty-three year old daughter. "You know full well I'm not talking about Paul. I'm talking about the man I found in your house yesterday morning." "What man?" Dana asked weakly. Her stomach dove down to her feet; she knew what was coming. Maggie saw right through her evasion. "Tall, dark hair," she replied in a no nonsense voice. Oh damn, she'd run into William, she thought. Oh shit! Had her mother guessed who or what he was? No! She couldn't know. He was just a guy in her bed. After all, he didn't walk around with 'DANA SCULLY PAYS ME FOR SEX' tattooed on his forehead. However if she'd seen him walking out of her bedroom that morning, rumpled and unshaven, there would be no fooling her mom that he hadn't had sex with her daughter the night before. Dana felt her cheeks flush and embarrassment crawl up her spine. She physically forced herself to sit up straight, look her mother in the eye and not squirm as she prayed for some form of escape. "Dana," Maggie said with a determined, impatient glare. "Who was he?" "Mom," she stalled. "Honestly Dana," Margaret said as she stood up. "Why don't I give you a few minutes to consider your answer?" She stalked away from the table towards the restaurant restroom, back ram-rod straight, obviously upset with her daughter. Dana tried to think of a way to sooth her Mother's ruffled feathers while explaining William's presence but Friday night's visit kept flashing thru her mind. XXXXX The firm knocking startled Dana, causing her to jump a little at the unexpected sound. She looked up at the wall clock, surprised. If it was William he was over half an hour early. Not that she minded in the slightest. She clicked the television off and rose to answer the door. The cable program had captured her attention and she made a mental note to try to catch it again next week. She had sat down about thirty minutes ago to pass the time while she waited and found rather interesting viewing in the form of some soft porn. It put her in the mood and she had begun to pinch her nipples through the fabric, coaxing them into hard, pebbly points. The front door swung open into the night to reveal William with a small duffel bag slung over his back and a rakish smile covering his beautiful face. "Hey," he said simply while letting his eyes sweep down her form, taking in the slight flush of her cheeks and the outline of the sharp nubbins of her erect nipples. "Hey yourself," she replied and stepped back for him to come inside. "What's in the bag?" "Oh, this?" he said, giving the strap on his shoulder a slight tug. "Nothing much, just supplies." She arched her eyebrow. "Supplies? For what?" "My motto--'be prepared'." With a quirk of his lips he slung the duffel from his shoulder and handed it to her. Dana ran one hand down his chest, flicking the spot where she guessed his nipple lay underneath the fabric and descending to grab a handful of his denim-clad ass. "William," she breathed, eyes lowering sultrily. "Is there any way your Boy Scout uniform might still fit?" His head jerked up, his eyes torn from where they'd been admiring the scoop neck of her sweater and the tops of her creamy breasts. She saw his surprised look and the beginning of a worried frown descend before her lips peeled back into a big smile. "Scared you, didn't I?" She laughed, giving his butt a swat. "Oh yeah, I had you." A relieved grin broke out across his face. "No way." "Definite panic." "No, not panic," he shook his head definitively. "There's been panic on more than one occasion before, trust me. That was just a little freaking out." "Oh sure." "No, you have no idea what I've been asked to do. The uniform is just a little kink that was unexpected. Sure you don't want me to wear it next time and sell you some cookies?" he teased. "Oh yeah, that really makes me hot," she replied sarcastically. "As if you were ever a boy scout anyway." "How do you know?" he asked, genuinely intrigued. "I just do." William huffed and silently rolled his eyes. Tugging on the drawstrings of the duffel he'd handed her she finally peered inside. Her eyebrow peaked and she retrieved an unopened tube from the bag. "Lubricant? I'm pretty sure there isn't a problem in that department." Actually, she was positive lube was something they didn't need. Just the thought of his mouth on her or cock plowing into her at any time caused a gush of moisture, drenching her panties. Christ, after their foreplay was over and she saw his thick cock pulsing and bobbing, itching to be impaled in her cunt, her juices were literally coating the inside of her thighs. "No, you're always ready, like a dream." A faraway look passed over his face and then was suddenly gone again. "There's also a box of condoms and a thin dildo in there as well. You mentioned you wanted to try some anal play. I wasn't sure how experienced you were so I want to do it properly and make sure you're completely comfortable. That is, unless you've changed your mind?" "Uh, no … no." William's brow creased. "Dana, you're completely in control here, you know that. We can do as much or as little as you like. We can just forget about it totally if you want." "No!" She hurriedly answered again. He'd taken her distant reply as hesitancy when nothing could be further from the truth. After his mouth had formed the worlds "anal play" she'd been hit by a flash of powerful fantasies of his cock thrusting up between her butt cheeks, completely filling and stretching her tiny ass. Quivers and tingles radiated through her folds as she squeezed her thighs together, desperate for some friction. "No, William, I really want to feel you in my ass," she said softly. Her gaze was fixed on the seemingly ever present bulge in his jeans and she watched as his erection grew and strained under the denim at her words. "Great. We'll do whatever you're comfortable with tonight and see how it goes." She smiled and nodded, dropping the lube back into the duffel. Something in a familiar brown and blue glossy wrapper caught her eye from the bottom of the bag. "I wonder whether there is something more enjoyable you can do with a Snickers than eat it," she teased. "Further investigation would be necessary but not tonight," he said smiling wolfishly. "That's my dinner. I'll need it later." "You will. I've got big plans for you." She grabbed his hand and led him up the staircase to her bed. They stripped and he laid her, all flushed and rosy, down on the snow colored sheets, taking a hardened nipple into his mouth. He was rough and gentle, swirling and nipping one breast in agonizing, delicious torture. All the while one hand captured the tip of her other nipple, clamping it between his thumb and the second knuckle of his index finger, sending sparks of desire down her spine on a direct route to her wet folds. Her hands were glued to the sides of his head, mussing his hair, and she moaned as she held him to her. The pressure of his grip on her clamped nipple increased till pleasure bordered on pain and she began to squirm at the discomfort. Taking this as his cue, William released the nipple from his hand and let her other breast fall from his mouth. A wave of sensation blossomed in her core as feeling rushed back to her abused breast and she arched up off the bed. "Ohhhhh god!" she moaned and her body fell back into the hard mattress with a thud. She let out a laugh and felt his own smile against her skin as he ran his tongue along the under sides of her breasts and began to kiss his way further down her body. Letting out a sigh, she began a low hum and closed her eyes as her body thrummed with the storm of desire he was creating. His tongue had become fixated on her navel, worrying it with continual passes, delving into its shallow depths. Looking down she saw a pair of dilated, almost-black eyes fixed on her expression and the corners of his mouth tugged up into a smile as she watched. He was fucking her belly button with his tongue, she realized, and he wanted her to see it. Not dropping his gaze, she lifted one leg and slowly brushed her calf along the rigid stiffness of his cock. He grunted and moaned in reply, closing his eyes and then dropping his head to continue on his path down her body. William kissed the skin of her inner thighs, his day growth of beard prickling her goose-fleshed skin and sending tingles to her core. Moaning, she squeezed her thighs together trying to lock his head into position, over her cunt. His nose bumped into her and she tried to increase the friction, grinding her hips into him. With a muffled laugh at her eagerness, he unhooked her ankles from behind his back and wrenched her thighs apart. "Noooo!" she softly cried, propping herself up on her elbows for a better view and an explanation. "Not yet you don't!" He chuckled, his eyes overflowing with mirth. "I call the shots," she said with a glower. "You do, but I know what I'm doing and all this talking is holding things up." He grinned. With a petulant look she flopped back down onto the bed. He continued kissing her thighs and ran his tongue around the outer lips of her folds, careful not to make too much contact. He inhaled her warm, thick scent and when he breathed out over her, he sent inadvertent shudders up her body. It would be so easy, he thought, so delicious just to move a little and take a sweet lick and drink from her warm, dripping sex. But it wasn't time quite yet. He sighed and brought his mouth away from her, instead slipping one hand in between her legs, giving her the contact she craved before she had a chance to protest the loss of his mouth. He slid two fingers inside her, setting up a steady rhythm while continuing to alternatively bite, suck and kiss her thighs. William looked up and watched as instinct took over her body. She was almost continually moaning now as he lifted his mouth from her skin and circled her clitoris with his thumb as his fingers pumped into her. Her chest heaved and head tossed from side to side as he began to circle one finger from his other hand around her rectum. She released a loud cry as he eased most of his index finger into her tiny hole and her hips began to buck wildly at the dual penetration. She was so close but he refused to speed up the slow curl of his fingers into her cunt as she moaned without inhibition. Finally his thumb left her clit and he slipped four fingers into her, accelerating his thrusts. With his other hand he continued the slow penetration of her ass with one digit and despite the violent thrashing of her hips he was able to slip her large, ruby red, engorged clitoris between his lips. She came, her world shattering into a thousand pieces. "Fuck! OHMIGOD, Oh Christ! WILLIAM!" He looked up at her suddenly, enjoying the spectacle of her in the throes of orgasm. He let her clit fall from his mouth and removed his hand from her ass, but continued to pump his other hand with each wave of pleasure. She had yelled out *his* name and no matter which way he examined it, it didn't sit comfortably with him. He was used to women yelling out names, that happened frequently. Love unrequited or unacknowledged was often the source of his clients' needs and he was far more comfortable being a substitute for a man in their lives than actually being the man himself. An unsettling feeling washed over him. Things always got messy when he wasn't filling in for someone else. He removed his hand and crawled back up the bed to lay beside her. With a lazy smile upon her face, she watched him through half closed eyes. She blew a stray piece of copper hair from her face with a puff, only to have it fall back across her nose. Silently, he reached out and tucked it behind her ear. "I knew all this was a bad idea from the beginning, I just never imagined I would regret you for the reason I do." She sighed, her rich voice flowing in a luxuriously, relaxed pace over the syllables. "What's that?" he asked quickly, a little afraid of her response. "You've ruined me for real men. Any sex after you will be a disappointment," she huffed, cracking a grin. He looked across the bed at her. "Should I apologize? Wait, you should apologize to me. What's this 'real men' thing? Is it because I take care of you first instead of taking care of myself and falling asleep straight after?" "No, that’s not it; although that description is frighteningly close to some of my less memorable encounters." "Then you've been doing it with the wrong guys." Dana reached out and began making patterns, tracing an invisible path through the wiry hair across his bare chest. "What I mean is when you're here, it's a dream or a fantasy, and it's not real life. Sex isn't supposed to be this good in real life and therefore you can't actually exist and aren't a real man. Make sense?" "Oh yeah, perfect sense. You know, not being real isn't as frightening a prospect for me as I think it should be. It means I'm not a complete fuck-up and that I haven't wasted thirty-four years of my life. What a relief." Her hand had run a path down his chest and over his stomach, finally grasping the root of his thick and pulsing penis. He hissed at the contact, his hips bucking involuntarily. With her other hand she pushed at his shoulder, flattening him down on his back. Reaching across the nightstand she retrieved a condom, tore open the foil, and slid it onto him while he bucked up into her hand. She let go of his cock long enough to position herself over him and let the head slip inside her. "I wouldn't call it a waste," she moaned as she sank down around him. She began to move up and down, rocking back and forth above him. With each thrust he arched up to meet her and on the down-stroke she tilted her hips to grind her clitoris into his pelvic bone. He watched as his cock, glistening with her juices, disappeared again and again behind red curls into her intense heat. Over a week ago, he'd told her that her cunt was the best he'd ever had the privilege to fuck. He'd been in the process of trying to get her off via phone sex after she'd called him all hot and horny wanting him to come to her home immediately, unscheduled. Jerking himself off at the same time he hadn't quite known what he'd been saying, but he had admitted to himself later that it was probably true, and latest evidence confirmed it. She was tight, not virgin tight, but tight every time they fucked even if it had only been a few days or a few hours since the last time he slid into her dripping warm depths. "Oh fuck, god you're fantastic." William had to fight not to put his hands on her hips and control the rhythm. He wanted to pound into her hot and dripping cunt faster and faster till he came in a burning, white, sticky mess inside the rubber. But he managed to hold back, admiring the beautiful sight of a gorgeous and naked woman riding him unashamedly, eyes closed and head thrown back in abandon, while one hand pinched and massaged her tits. She rode him steadily, happily approaching orgasm as he desperately wished for greater friction. He slipped his fingers under her and began stroking her clitoris. Edging closer towards the precipice she sped up, grinding herself into him and it wasn't long before she came with a shout and collapsed on his chest. She stayed that way for a minute or two as her breathing began to slow and William had a sudden choking fear that she had fallen asleep, somehow oblivious to his still rock hard cock impaled inside her. To his relief she suddenly recovered, rising up off him, letting him slide out of her to a displeased groan. She flopped down on the bed beside him and rose up on her hands and knees, ass in the air. It took him only a moment to respond and he was leaning over her back, sliding back into her delicious heat. He began to pound into her, feeling his cock push further into her than had been possible with her on top. With each slam of his dick against her cervix both moaned simultaneously. The slap of his balls against her ass, the squeak of the bed springs and the squelch of her juices when he withdrew almost completely before ramming home again were the only other sounds that filled the room. It was not that William loved sex or loved women obsessively which led him to his current occupation. Although he did on both counts, those reasons weren't the primary ones for his present lot in life. He'd been taught sex without feeling, without emotion, years before and the lesson had become useful to pay the bills. To him the acts most people considered the most intimate that can occur between two people were impersonal in the extreme. It was just fucking and it was just his job. He'd never struggled to differentiate between the touch of a client and the touch of a lover. He enjoyed the sex for the most part. Sure there was the odd, unpleasant assignment but he always took pleasure in visiting Dana; a little too much sometimes, he thought. William began to increase his thrusts, balls beginning to tighten with the promise of release. "Harder, please," she panted, between moans and lustful cries. "Oh God," he grunted in response, her request sending electric sensations straight to his dick. Constantly amazed at her, he began to pound into her harder, almost withdrawing completely before ramming home again. She was so hot, he was fucking her with force and she just wanted more. He wrapped one arm about her middle firmly and moved his other hand around to her mound. With just his first touch she screamed, loud and unintelligible, and convulsed around him. Fighting not to come he continued to plow into her and circled her clit, drawing out another shriek and climax that quickly followed the first. Satisfied he grabbed her hips and let go of his restraint, his thrusts becoming wild and irregular, until he came with a bellow and collapsed, barely missing crushing her with his weight. He rolled onto his side and removed the rubber, managing to tie it off and rise to stagger towards the bathroom. After disposing of it he staggered back on wobbly, newborn Bambi legs and lay down on her soft bed. Dana was curled up snoring lightly and his eyes closed only for a second. XXXXX "William?" She shook his shoulder gently. Consciousness shifted and he felt himself falling out of sleep, slowly waking. It had been one hell of an orgasm. He'd gone out like a light; a rarity for him indeed. She shook him again, persistent. "William? Come on, wake up or I won't wait for you." 'Was she kidding?' he thought. He'd come like a fire hydrant what felt like seconds ago and she'd climaxed at least three times herself and she wanted him again already? The woman was insatiable. Great for business but he wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't the death of him yet. He was sure his heart had stopped that last time and one day it was going to give out if she kept it up. "Too bad, guess you won't get any," she said from somewhere to his right. I just got some, he thought contentedly, still unable to open his eyes. He heard a curious crinkling and after a beat, "Oh yeah, mmmmm...," she moaned. "So good, ahhh." Jesus Christ! His cock jumped a little and he flung open his eyes, propping himself up with his elbows. There was no way on God's green earth that he was going to miss a woman getting herself off, especially not one two feet away and he had front row seats. He would gladly cut off his left arm to see a woman as beautiful as Dana Scully touch herself. "Oh yessss...," she hissed, and took another large chunk of his Snickers bar between her teeth, the caramel stretching out between the bar and her lips. Totally naked with her eyes closed and a euphoric expression, she appeared to be having an almost religious experience. "Hey!" he shouted, indignantly. "That's mine!" Dana's eyes popped open. "What?" she mumbled with a mouthful of chocolate. "You didn't want any; mine now," she said with a laugh and swooped down for another bite. "Gimme that!" He lunged for the candy bar, managing to wrestle it out of her grasp to her howl of protest, and ripped a huge hunk of it off with his teeth. She dove on top of him, fighting to reach the last piece which he held up high in one hand just out of her reach while he chewed vigorously, swallowing the sticky chocolate. She switched tactics from trying to pry his fingers open and instead got up on her knees and attempted to bite the candy. At the last moment William reached up with his other arm and switched the chocolate between his hands, bringing the last part of the Snickers back down and shoved it into his mouth. "Nooo!" she protested, a devastated look sweeping across her features. Dana flopped back down on his chest straddling him with her legs and he laughed around a mouthful of chocolate. She pouted, only providing further fodder for his amusement and she lightly hit him on the chest. Chocolate smeared across his beautiful wide smile, she couldn't resist. She bent her head and tasted the delectable dark flavor of the candy and his delicious, soft lips. His smile faded as did his laughter but she continued to lick the chocolate from his unresponsive mouth. Abruptly, his hands closed around her shoulders and he pushed her back, with a jolt. Murky green connected with clear blue and fixed, unable to look away. Neither spoke as she tasted him and the chocolate on her lips, and she watched as he unthinkingly mimicked her, licking his own lips. Uncertainty gripped her and for a moment she became convinced he would kiss her; then his eyes shifted and he looked away. A long, silent minute passed. Money and satisfaction were what they were about, and nothing else. No amount of pretending would change that. Most of the time neither wished for it to be any different. "I like you naughty, but don't be bad," he teased, easing the heavy silence. "But how can I be naughty without being bad?" she asked playing along with the joke in sultry take-off of a sex kitten, batting her eyelashes for full effect. He chuckled at her imitation and she pushed the conversation along, trying to forget that she had tried to kiss him and he had denied her. Again. "I have a date tomorrow night," Dana said it with a smile, faking far more enthusiasm for the event than she actually felt. "Oh yeah?" he said, relieved. He wasn't her lover and talking about the men in her life reinforced that position. "We go to the same health club." It was an outrageous lie but she had no desire to tell him the truth. She didn't need him thinking that not only did she need to pay for a lay but had to have her mother set her up on dates as well. She was a terrible liar, but he bought it; or appeared to. "What's his name? Do you like him?" "His name's Paul. I do like him. If I didn't I wouldn't be going to dinner with him. Unlike other members of the species, I care about things besides whether or not they have a big dick or in your case big tits and are sure to put out." He grinned. "I don't know anyone like that." She cocked her eyebrow. "Uh huh. Now you see the problem I was talking about earlier. If things turn out great with Paul and we end up in a serious relationship, sure I'll have all the emotional stuff but mediocre sex." "If you're lucky." She rolled her eyes. "Right. So maybe we could try you, me and Paul, I was thinking." "You and me, Paul can watch." "Oh, you think he'd go for seeing another guy screw his girlfriend?" "Another guy giving his girlfriend the best lay of her life, yes. He might learn something." "Or you could just take him aside and give him some coaching." "Nah, at a point it's natural ability. Some guys have got 'it,' and some couldn't find 'it' with a map, a compass and a flashlight." He cracked a grin. "If I didn't know better I'd say you were full of it. Since I do know better, how about you shut up and put that 'natural ability' to work huh?" She leaned over his head and dangled a breast in front of his mouth which he greedily accepted. He was hard again. Having a completely naked woman straddling your chest for the better part of ten minutes seemed to bring on the condition fast. Now, as he sucked at one of her tits, she ground her sex onto his chest in a shimmying circular pattern, smearing her juices all over him. It only advanced the problem. Her breast popped free from the suction of his mouth as she moved away and flopped down on her back with her legs hanging off the side of the bed. She grabbed a pillow and slid it under her hips. "You owe me from before," she daringly reminded him with a raised brow. He chuckled at her brazen command as he slid to the edge and knelt down on the floor between her legs. He picked up the dildo, lube and two of the condoms from where she'd placed them on the night stand and moved them all to the bed within easy reach. Finally, he sank his face in the cleft between her legs. She tilted her hips towards him and he inhaled, breathing in her musk, sending sparks and blood rushing down to his already hard dick. He began by licking the soft, swollen folds on a slow journey to her clitoris, covering every square millimeter of her sex. Swearing and hissing with each pass or flick of his tongue and bump of his nose, her fingers flexed and gripped the bed sheets. William swirled his tongue into her mimicking their earlier coupling and tasting the tangy nectar that flowed from her, coating his lips and cheeks. He'd gone down on her countless times but if anything he improved with greater practice. The first time and every time since she'd first felt his talented, knowledgeable lips and tongue lap at her soft folds and slide into her cunt, she'd felt like she'd died and gone to heaven. It was simply bliss, the pleasurable ache and desperate need he created. His mouth on her drove her wild with lust till she moaned and cried, while uncontrollable spasms ripped through her as she begged him not to stop. Face buried between her splayed legs, he felt around the bedspread for the tube of lubricant. Twisting the cap open he smeared some on his fingers and then began to circle the outside of her puckered anus. She cried and bucked her hips as he continued to stroke and suckle her with his tongue and tease her rectum. He slipped one finger inside her tight passage to his second knuckle slowly working at the ring of muscle unused to the penetration. He slid a second finger into her and with a gasp she held back a cry. He immediately lifted his head from her cunt. "Are you okay? Tell me if you want me to stop." "God, oh my, Jesus...." She felt a quick burn as his second finger stretched her ass but it was engulfed by the exquisite sensations flowing through every nerve-ending in her body. Coupled with his tongue teasing her flesh, a deep pleasure had washed over her, heightening her senses, pushing her fast towards release. "Dana! Do you want me to stop?" "What? No, more, it's good. Keep going." His mouth returned to her sex with renewed vigor and his two and then three fingers rocked, twisted and thrust inside her ass. Head thrashing, hips bucking into his face, an orgasm ripped through her. It wasn't so much stronger than normal but waves originated from both her clitoris and her anus at the same time. He removed his fingers as she slumped boneless against the mattress trying to catch her breath. His cock aching, desperate for friction he wrapped one hand around the base, pumping, arching up into his hand. Knowing he was close he let go of his dick and picked up the small sized dildo. Slicking a rubber down over it he slid it inside her vagina. She moaned and arched up. He continued to slide it in and out slowly as she spoke. "That was lovely," she breathed. "I want you inside my ass William." "Next time, I promise. You'll hurt tomorrow as it is. Do you want me to keep going now? Or I can fuck your ass with _this_ if you like." He punctuated _this_ with a hard slam of the dildo into her. "Jesus!" She was weary, having lost count of the number of times she had come in the last few hours but still wanted to feel him fill her cunt. "No, I want you inside me, fucking me slowly." She rolled into the center of the bed and it was only a second after he slid on a condom that he sheathed himself into her. He almost lazily fingered her clit and thrust into her in an agonizing, slowly-unhurried fashion for so long that despite the immense pleasure she was feeling she wanted him to speed up if she was ever going to come again. Caught up in frustration, the powerful and shattering orgasm that crashed over her was a complete surprise. With her orgasm he sped up, finally losing his restraint and allowing himself to explode within her. He pulled out and managed to dispose of the condom before he sank down into the blessedly soft mattress beside her. He willed his muscles to cooperate so that he could stand and dress and call a cab to go home. They were unresponsive to his wishes so he decided to lay quietly just until he caught his breath. Then he would open his eyes, stand... get dressed... pick up the phone... call a... a cab and go h.... He slept. XXXXX "Dana," Maggie said with a determined, impatient glare as she slid back into her seat. "Who was he?" "Why were you at my house yesterday?" She felt like thumping her head on the table. 'Way to go Dana; take the offensive, Mom always responds well to that,' she thought. Maggie masked the hurt she felt with a hard voice. "I collected those books I lent you so I could return them to the library, Dana. That's why I was at your house." "I'm sorry Mom; I didn't mean it like that. You just surprised me." "Surprised? You mean like the way I was surprised; scared half to death when I saw him asleep in your bed? I screamed! I thought he was some perverted burglar!" "Mom," she sighed. The thought of William as a "perverted burglar" was more interesting than it was amusing. There weren't too many women Dana imagined who would soundly object to suddenly having a man as beautiful as William appear in their beds. Or call the cops to have him arrested. Dana took a quick look up and down the street. Most Catholics eager to get away from mass left right after the final blessing, if they'd not slipped away after communion. Consequently, except for a few stragglers, there was thankfully no one from their church close enough to hear their conversation. "Look Dana, if you want to be so secretive about everything in your life, fine. I just hope you'll remember to inform me of the birth of a grandchild, should there be any in the future. I don't hold any hope of being told about your wedding, and I'm fully aware that wanting to know the name of the man who's seeing my daughter makes me the worst kind of busybody." "Mom, don't be ridiculous. I'm sorry, okay?" She sighed, rubbing her forehead. "You just caught me off guard. His name is William." Her mother's look demanded more. "I've known him for around six months but we haven't been seeing each other that long." She assuaged herself with the fact that it wasn't a complete lie. It had been six months since their first appointment. "Uh huh." Maggie's jaw was set. "What does he do?" Her mind reeled. "Uh... he's an English teacher," she spat out quickly. Her Mother's look hardened and she knew she'd been a second too late in responding. "Is that so? How is it that he had no idea you were a doctor? He asked where you were and I said at Georgetown Memorial and he was concerned that something had happened to you. He didn't know you worked there. He didn't know you're a doctor." Dana covered her face with her hands and let her shoulders slump. She knew all too well her mother was like a bulldog with a bone when she caught hold of something. There would be no relenting until she had the truth; or what she believed to be the truth. Dana knew she couldn't ever learn the actual truth; a version of it would be enough. "Mom, I..." She shrugged her shoulders. "If you knew he and I weren't really seeing each other why did you pretend not to know? Just to embarrass me?" "No Dana, of course I didn't want to embarrass you. You're right. I shouldn't have nagged at you about him, but I'm just so mad at you for hiding everything about your life from me. "You obviously know him, or at least trust him enough to leave him in your house by himself. I don't have to know everything but I remember not that many years ago when you used to share things with me. Well, not about the men that you've had flings with, you can save that for Melissa, but who you're going out on dates with." She grinned as her daughter blushed a furious red. "You haven't been telling me anything for such a long time I've lost my patience. I'm sorry Dana, I guess it's just been building up." She nodded, understanding. "He's not... I mean, he and I aren't a one night thing Mom. I like him." "A lot?" "Very much." It was true, she knew it. "He's much more handsome than Paul." If Dana didn't know her mother as well as she did, she'd swear Margaret was sending her a saucy grin. "Yes." She smiled, still beet red with humiliation. Maggie's expression turned serious again. "Dana, look. I don't want to bring it up but when he woke up and realized it was almost nine he said that he was going to be late." Dana frowned, unable to see the connection. "He said that 'Sasha' was going to kill him. I accept that this really is none of my business now, but Dana, please be careful." Damn. Now her Mom was worried that her daughter was an adulterer, intent on breaking up happy marriages. The thought made her sick. She wondered if it would have been better to just be honest and tell her that she was paying William for sex than to let her own mother think not only that she slept around but with other women's husbands. Then again, maybe not. "Mom, William isn't married." She assumed that was true. Well, she was pretty sure that was the truth. After all, what sane woman would allow him anywhere near other women if they were married, let alone allowing him to make a living sleeping with them? "Okay. Look. I won't say anything more. Just tell him that your mother doesn't usually scream bloody murder when she meets her daughter's boyfriends. And could you please try to let me know some little bits of information about your life in the future? I'll mind my own business but don't forget, I'm always happy to lend an ear." "I know Mom." "Good. Let's get some more coffee." XXXXX Part 4 by P.I.'s Stalker Dana Scully was pissed. It seemed everything was screwed up in her life. Her mother was treating her coolly again. Even though they'd made up after the argument over William and Dana's lack of communication about her love life, their relationship was still strained. Needless to say, her mother's snit was picked up by both her brothers and her sister, and she'd gotten the cold shoulder from the entire family at Thanksgiving. The old saying was obviously true: If Momma ain't happy, ain't no one happy. It was times like these that made Dana miss her father more than ever. He was the only one who could jolly her mother out of her sour moods and put a smile back on her face. Things had gone from bad to terrible. It was almost Christmas and she was facing another family holiday during the week before her period. This time she was going to have to endure her horniness without William's special brand of relief. He hadn't responded to her 911 messages for the last few days. Worst of all, she'd just been called to fill in for a sick colleague at work. She normally didn't mind helping out a friend, but it was damn hard changing gears from horny Dana to Doctor Scully on her day off. She quickly called William's number and left him a message to forget her earlier emergency call and confirmed their regular appointment the following week. She changed clothes and raced to the hospital. Ten hours later, she was too exhausted to be horny. She was headed towards the lounge to shower and change after her shift when she heard wails and sobs coming from the cubicle nearest the exit. She couldn't help herself. Relieving the pain and suffering of others was the main reason she'd become a doctor. She moved closer to the closed curtain just as Dr. Jay Benson came out. "Is there anything I can do to help, Jay?" she offered. "Thanks, Dana, but I'm afraid it's too late for anyone but the Rabbi." "Hard case?" she asked. "It's always tragic when a child dies; even one who's been as sick as this little gal. They've been here before and knew this was coming, but it's hitting them hard, particularly the uncle." Jay Benson patted her on the shoulder. "Thanks for offering." He continued towards the nurses' station with the child's chart. Dana turned towards the exit again. She glanced through the large crack in the curtain as she passed by and was brought up short. There, holding the body of a small girl, tears flowing silently down his face, sat William. Beside him an old woman sobbed and wailed loudly, as she rocked back and forth tearing at a handkerchief. Dana's shock pushed her into the cubicle. William's look of surprise stopped her short. "Excuse me, I'm Dr. Dana Scully. I, uh, heard you and wondered if there was anything I could do to help." William and the woman stared at her silently and Dana began to feel more than a little uncomfortable. Taking a step backwards, she asked, "Is there anyone I can call for you?" "Uh, thank you, Dr. Scully, Rabbi Stein should be here any moment," the elderly woman said as she tried to dry her tears. "We've known this was going to happen since Katya was diagnosed as a baby, but knowing my grandniece would eventually die and experiencing it are totally different things." She broke down again, heartbreaking sobs echoing through the air. Dana nodded and stepped forward to hug and pat the woman as she cried. Accepting death would never be easy for Dana Scully, M.D.; especially the death of a child. She always felt a deep sense of compassion for the family members left behind. The curtain was pushed back the rest of the way and two orderlies came in to transport the child's body away from the emergency room. Surprised, they backed out to wait for the family to leave. William kissed the little girl's forehead, eyes and nose before he laid her back down on the bed. He led the older woman out of the area and motioned for the orderlies to proceed. They gently covered the child and pushed the bed towards the elevators. Dana followed them out into the hall and offered once again. "If there's anything I can do to help..." The woman wiped her eyes and tried to smile as she said, "Thank you, my dear." She turned towards William and continued, "I'm going to go down and wait with Katya until Rabbi Stein and the mortician gets here." "No, Sasha, I'll stay. You go on home and get some rest. Katya's -- this illness has taken too much out of you already." William's voice was soft, but firm. He hugged her and placed a set of keys in her hand. "I'll get a ride from Rabbi Stein." "Are you sure, dear?" she asked, obviously willing to be persuaded to leave. "Yes, [Auntie,] I'm sure," he urged. Dana stood back while this scene played out, unwilling to leave until more of her questions were answered. When the older woman was gone, William wilted. It was obvious to Dana that he'd put on a brave, strong front to get the child's great-aunt to leave. "Would you like to go get some coffee in the cafeteria while you wait for the Rabbi?" Dana asked. "The morgue loading dock is on the same level and I could get one of the attendants to call when the hearse arrives." William scrubbed his face with both hands, wiping his tears. His ragged sigh tore at her heart. Dana could tell he was both touched by her offer of assistance and aggravated that his private life was exposed to one of his clients. Being a professional herself, she knew how difficult it was to keep her lives separate. "I should stay with my niece," he finally answered. "I know you don't want to leave her, but hospital policy doesn't allow relatives in the morgue until the mortician's there," she said kindly. "Come on, you look like you could use a strong cup of coffee. Believe me that's all they serve down there." She smiled in encouragement. "It's probably best if I just go down by myself." Gesturing between them he elaborated, "I'm more than a little uncomfortable with all this." "Please, don't be. I'm here as a doctor; nothing else. Let me help you through the wait. You won't be the first or the last family member I've stayed with." He stared at her for a long moment, obviously contemplating her offer before saying, "Uh, sure. Sure; why not?" William sighed. "I'm sorry. I don't mean to be rude. I'm just..." "You're just emotionally raw, in pain, and will be for a long time," Dana said. "Thanks for understanding," he said quietly. "Katya was all Sasha and I had left of Sam and Peter." As her expression of curiosity increased he continued, "Samantha was my only sibling and her husband Peter was Sasha's nephew." He gestured towards the hall, obviously embarrassed by his rambling explanation. "After you." Dana nodded then led him to the front of the E.R. She left a message with the clerk to be on the lookout for Rabbi Stein and to send him to the cafeteria if he came through that entrance. She consciously pushed her raging curiosity down, forcing it to take a back seat to her professional desire to soothe this man's pain. XXXXX EIGHTEEN MONTHS LATER Dana Scully was once again horny but she no longer had an on-call outlet. William had disappeared after their eventful meeting at the hospital. She'd called the service after he missed his regularly scheduled appointment two times and received profuse apologies and the offer of a free replacement "date." She accepted and scheduled with Thomas, then Dick and finally Tony. None of them satisfied her as William had. They were well versed in their trade, but none of the replacements could drive her crazy with lust. None of them enjoyed fucking her as William had. None of them were hung like William. None of them were... William. What had once been a pleasurable experience, almost an obsession, was quickly becoming... passe, almost distasteful. Oh, she still craved a good hard fuck with a huge dick, but paying for the service of a man who didn't satisfy her like William obviously wasn't the answer. Neither was the one man she'd actually dated long enough to allow into her bed. Finally disgusted, she'd taken a two week vacation in the middle of winter. The tropical island she'd chosen didn't even have a name, just an elite resort hotel that provided the privacy and luxury she wanted while she contemplated her life. Upon her return she'd had several cases come through the E.R. that involved children—-babies actually. She found herself thinking about them constantly, infatuated by how sweet they smelled, how their smiles lit up the entire room. To her surprise, their distress brought out every mothering instinct she'd avoided and scoffed at in others her entire life. She began contemplating how the men she came in contact with daily would do as potential sperm donors but quickly came to the conclusion she should skip the marriage scene and go straight to motherhood. She realized that William was still the model she chose to measure other men against, and most failed miserably. She was positive she'd never find another man who intrigued her as he did, let alone measured up to him in bed. She gave up looking for one and, once again defying convention, began researching other methods of fertilization. Sheer boredom and the pursuit of the perfect Y chromosome led her to accepting a blind date with the friend of a friend from work. He was an ex- FBI agent, a psychologist who'd left the Bureau years ago. He'd recently returned to the area and opened his own practice specializing in helping child victims of mental and physical abuse. Samuel Mulder sounded like a freaking saint when he'd been described to her. A handsome saint at that, her friend had assured her when she'd finally agreed to the date. Dana was meeting him at the restaurant. She didn't care how horny she was, there was no way she was going to let her hormones trap her into letting this guy drive her home. What if she hated him on sight? When she walked into the bar at Gino's Restaurant she didn't see anyone that could be her date. Not one of the single men were as handsome as she'd been assured her date would be; nor did any of them have a halo. She decided to have a drink and wait a few minutes before she went home. She ordered a vodka martini, extra olives, and settled back to wait. "What's a beautiful woman like you doing out alone?" someone whispered in her ear. Dana rolled her eyes, not relishing the task of discouraging the lounge lizard who'd targeted her. "I'm waiting for 'Mr. Right', not 'Mr. Right Now' so beat it," she said as she turned to glare at the man behind her. Her eyes widened and her breathing sped up. "I thought you'd be glad to see me, Dana. It's been a while." "William! You're back." Her welcoming smile turned into a moue of aggravation. "I'm no longer William, Dana. Please call me by my real name, Samuel Mulder." "You? You're my date?" "That would be me." She grabbed her purse and threw down a ten for the drink. "I'm not sure I'm interested in anything you have to say Mr. Mulder, or William or Samuel or whoever the hell you are." "Please, Dana. I feel I owe you an explanation. Let's have dinner and talk." He stroked her bare arm from shoulder to wrist. Dana's aggravation disappeared as she shuddered with an un-nameable, confused feeling. She was still pissed off at him but he was as handsome and sexy as she remembered, and he was offering to clear up a long-term mystery. She finally nodded and they walked over to the hostess to claim their table. After they ordered and their wine had been served, he sat back and stared at her. "You're just as beautiful as I remembered. You look well." "Cut the crap, 'William.' What the hell happened?" Her patience was running out and being so close to this man was making her edgy. "Dana, please don't call me William. It's Sam or Mulder now; William was another life." She nodded and asked, "So, Mulder, did you set this meeting up?" "Yes, I wanted to see you again. I've planned what I wanted to say to you so many times but now that you're actually here, I can't remember any of the pretty little speeches I had ready." "Then just tell me the truth," Dana demanded. "The truth," he repeated. "All right, from the beginning. Nothing but the truth." Over dinner he told her the tale of a younger sister, Samantha, who disappeared while in his care though he couldn't remember anything about the night it happened. Of parents divorced, an escape to college then on to Oxford University working on a degree in psychology, followed by recruitment into the FBI. He'd worked the worst cases, horrible cases that led to a breakdown and desk duty. Bored senseless, he'd taken to poking around the building. While in the basement, he discovered the file on his sister along with boxes of unsolved cases that had been identified as the X- Files for some unknown reason. Shortly after this, he'd met a woman, a fellow agent named Diana Fowley, who told him she was also interested in the X-Files and could help him find answers to his sister's disappearance. She introduced him to her mentor, Dr. Heits Werber. When Werber hypnotically regressed him, he finally remembered everything about the evening of Samantha's disappearance. After listening to the tape, Agent Fowley was positive he'd experienced a close encounter of the third kind during Sam's abduction. He was disinclined to believe this scenario even though the tape revealed that his answers to Dr. Werber's professional, non-leading questions could be construed as such. "Surely, you're not saying you believe in little green men, are you?" Dana interrupted. He smiled and said, "I believe in a lot of things—-have seen a lot of things that boggle the mind. However, I soon came to the realization Diana Fowley was more than a sandwich short of a picnic. She took me to a clandestine meeting with an 'informant' who claimed to know my sister's whereabouts. I quickly diagnosed the individual as a psychotic, paranoid junkie looking for money for his next fix. The incident left me disenchanted but more determined than ever to find out the truth about my sister." He paused and stared into the distance, obviously remembering painful, past events. "Continue, please," Dana said. He picked up his narrative. Armed with the file, he had a confrontation with his estranged parents. He finally learned the truth. Samantha's disappearance was actually the culmination of a long, ugly custody battle. Her parentage explained why his father and the FBI had done almost nothing to find her. She was only his half sister. After years of bickering between the ex-lovers, Samantha's father was awarded legal custody of his daughter. Their mother refused to cooperate, finding one reason after another why the child couldn't leave her home. Finally, armed with the backing of the state Supreme Court's decision, Clayton Spender, a major player in the NSA, and two trucks full of soldiers in battle gear stormed their home and forcibly removed Samantha when Bill and Tina Mulder were away for the evening. He'd been so traumatized by the event that his memory of the evening had stayed buried until his regression hypnosis. The description of the incident fit the memories he'd revealed under hypnosis, but needless to say, he was still shocked. Using his FBI connections he tracked Sam down, determined to connect with her again. Sam was ecstatic when he contacted her. She'd known about him and his parent's divorce for years but had been forbidden by her father to contact any of them. That edict had ended just a few weeks earlier with her father's death. He thought everything was finally going to work out for him and his sister. Samantha was now happily married and pregnant. She and Peter, her husband, welcomed him with open arms. His new family relationships helped him get back on his feet mentally and physically. When he was back to work profiling full time he couldn't shake the memories of the many drawers of files that had been dumped in the basement. Some of the cases were just simple unsolved crimes, but some were so fascinating that he kept reviewing them on his own time and came to the conclusion they deserved further investigation. He successfully recruited backing from his more influential contacts on the Hill and he opened what came to be called the X-Files division. He reported to Assistant Director Walter Skinner escaping the soul-killing grind of profiling. The only caveat from Skinner was that he had to be on call to VCS occasionally to justify the expenditure of resources used to keep his small division alive. He'd had a lot of success in a short period of time with the X-Files. His solve rate was high, but he soon realized success came at a high cost. Many of the cases he'd resolved highlighted the inability and inferiority of fellow high- profile agents. Others uncovered truths powerful people, some upper echelon government officials, wanted buried. He quickly made a lot of enemies but felt compelled to continue, to give closure to the victims and their families. All in all, he felt the truth was worth the cost of his upward mobility. A year later, his entire world collapsed. During a case for VCS a serial killer fixated on proving to the world he was smarter than the entire FBI. He left a rambling, threatening note at his latest kill that was ignored by the ASAC. Realizing that the killer was both escalating and deteriorating mentally, he tried to warn the ASAC that the entire team was in danger but his warnings were dismissed as groundless. A few days after he got home from the assignment he received a call from the Chief of Police in West Tisbury on Martha's Vineyard. There'd been a break- in at his mother's home. He knew it was bad because the Chief refused to give him further details over the phone. When he got to the Vineyard he found it was more horrific than his worst nightmare. Samantha, her husband, and their new baby had been visiting his mother. An intruder had broken into the house and killed all three adults. The baby was alive, but in the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit at Boston General. She'd been left alone in the house until her cries were heard by the mail man the next day. His intuition and experience forced him to call his father. When he didn't get an answer, he contacted the Chilmark police. They quickly called back and asked him to come to his father's house. Praying it wasn't true, but dreading what he knew he'd find, he rushed across the island to Chilmark. Once there he identified his father's body, but took small comfort in the fact his father had been able to shoot and kill the bastard even while being beaten and stabbed repeatedly. The resulting investigation confirmed his worst fear. The intruder at both his parents' homes was identified as the serial killer he'd profiled. Almost everyone he loved had been killed because of his job, his efforts to stop a madman. His guilt was overwhelming. The only thing that saved his sanity was his niece, Katya. When he'd first found his sister, he'd agreed to Samantha and Peter naming him their child's legal guardian in their wills, never believing it would actually be needed. The only other viable option at the time had been his mother and he refused to subject his future niece or nephew to the kind of childhood he'd lived through. He knew nothing about raising a child, let alone a six month old infant, but he felt he couldn't let Sam, Peter or the baby down. He had to hold together for the sake of the child. He called Sasha, Peter's aunt and only living relative who immediately flew out to Boston to stay with Katya while he made funeral arrangements on the Vineyard. When the doctors could assure them that Katya would live, he persuaded Sasha to move to Washington and live with him and the baby. She'd visited frequently with Sam and Peter and already loved the child as if she were her grandmother. Mulder's narrative came to a broken halt as he struggled to regain his composure. He cleared his throat and said, "Before the baby was released from the hospital, we got more bad news." Dana squeezed his hand, encouraging him to continue when he felt ready. Mulder cleared his throat again and went on. "During the extensive testing done in the NICU, Katya was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease. I knew our mother was Jewish, but I didn't know if Sam's father or husband were as well until Sasha confirmed it." Dana leaned closer to him and said softly, "I knew she died of Tay-Sachs. I checked her record at the hospital. It's a heartbreaking disease. I'm so sorry. I wanted to tell you that before, but you disappeared and I didn't get a chance." "Thanks," he mumbled. "You, uh, know that Tay-Sachs' is genetic, don't you?" Dana asked gently. "Yeah, I was tested and found out I'm not a carrier." He was quiet for a moment, sipping his wine before continuing his story. He told her about taking an extended FMLA leave to find a bigger apartment, and help Sasha and the baby adjust, while trying to recover from the shock and guilt over his family's deaths. He was granted legal custody of the baby and put her on his insurance. When he returned to work, his status had mysteriously changed. His solve ratio no longer carried any weight. His contacts no longer returned his calls, and he was suddenly being treated worse than a new recruit straight out of Quantico. He'd asked to go back to the X-Files but found out they'd been assigned to Agent Fowley and her new partner. He was assigned to domestic terrorism with a different supervisor; a man who seemed to delight in harassing and humiliating him. He now had the responsibility of a sick child and the stress of a tedious new job that demanded more travel and longer days than VCS or the X-Files. Even with Sasha's help, he eventually collapsed from exhaustion and mental anguish. This time the powers that be forced him to file for disability due to "medical and /or psychological" reasons, citing his breakdown. In order to keep his pension and COBRA medical benefits, he acquiesced, hoping to quickly find a new job. He was extremely bitter about the way the FBI treated him. He felt his forced retirement was orchestrated by some of the individuals his investigations had exposed. He knew they'd finally found a way to remove him from the X-Files and take the pressure off themselves as they perpetuated their plots or hid their inadequacies. He also suspected some of the higher-up number crunchers wanted to reduce the Bureau's self-paid medical insurance burden his niece incurred at the same time. Unfortunately he was unable to prove either point. No longer receiving his full income the huge expense of COBRA benefits for 18 months, then the full burden of medical expenses for a terminally ill child when the insurance ended drained his finances completely. At the end of his rope mentally and financially, he finally followed the suggestion of an old lover and turned to the lucrative field of professional escort. "That's when I met you," he said as he tossed his napkin on his plate and pushed it away. The waiter took this as his cue and brought over the dessert tray. Once they'd been served their choices and coffee was delivered, he continued. "Katya had just celebrated her fifth birthday the month before her death. She was a sweet little girl who was a joy to be around even though she had a debilitating illness and no hope for a cure. "I went off the deep end after the funeral. I couldn’t continue to work as a professional escort no matter how well it paid. In fact I could barely function at all. "I managed to help Sasha move back to her old home then took off for England. I needed to confront my guilt over my past and seek advice from my Oxford advisor and personal psychiatrist about my future. "We worked through most of my problems and I got my depression under control. He helped me realize I wanted to do something positive with the rest of my life. I chose child psychology because of my interaction with Katya and with the child victims I encountered during my time with the Bureau. I decided to return to Washington to enroll in the refresher courses I needed to get my psychologist's license. "And that's pretty much my story," he said. Moments passed before Dana asked, "So what was your real name?" He laughed and said, "Of all the questions you could ask, that's the last one I thought you'd come up with." As her eyebrow rose in annoyance, he continued, "I was born Fox William Mulder. I've despised my first name my whole life. When I turned pro, I used William. Besides being my middle name, it was a name I'd come to negatively equate with power; it was my father's name and the name of my old boss. Both were men I hated as much as I came to hate my life as an escort, present company excluded, of course. "A lot of my professional contacts call me Sam, but if you want to call me Mulder... well I actually prefer it. While I chose Samuel in honor of my sister, it's still painful to be reminded of the past at times." When she nodded, he took another sip of coffee. He watched her as she assimilated that information before he offered her his hand and said, "Hello. My name is Mulder. Nice to meet you, Dana Scully. Do you want to fuck?" XXXXX Dana's head smacked back against her door as Mulder ended their kiss and began to attack her neck, kissing and sucking it greedily. The pain barely registered as arousal zinged through her, making her body throb with desire. She wrapped her arms around his neck and jumped up to encircle his waist with her legs. Her sex rubbed against his very obvious arousal and she groaned. Just as she thought she would ignite if she didn't have him in her, right there, right then, he gently pushed her legs down and moved back a step or two. She shook her head, trying to clear it. She had no idea how they'd gotten here. Her last clear memory was walking out of the restaurant with his hand against the small of her back. What the hell kind of hold did this man have on her to make her lose time like this, and why was he stopping? She closed the distance between them, intending to jump him again. "Dana! Dana, stop. We need to talk." Mulder's voice was strained, but firm as he pushed her back against the door tenderly. "Talk? I don't want to talk. I want to fuck." He grinned sheepishly and looked at her with those bedroom eyes. "I want you, too, but not like this." "What do you mean, not like this? Do you want to go upstairs? What are we waiting for?" She turned towards the stairs, grabbing his hand to drag him along with her, but he pulled her to a halt and turned her to face him again. She glared at him, not taking the diversion well. "Ah, damn it, I knew I'd screw this up." He sighed as he ran his hand over his face, and then asked, "Can we sit, talk?" Her first inclination was to say no and toss his ass out of her home. She was horny and wanted action, not discussion, but something in his eyes caught her interest. She nodded, then led the way to the living room. She sat on the couch, but he crossed to a chair and sat facing her. Moments of silence passed before she finally demanded, "Are you going to talk or sit there all night?" "Always my impatient Dana," he said with a chuckle. "There's something other than my name I've changed," he said. "I've changed... I've chosen to change certain aspects of my sex life." "Ah, damn, don't tell me you've decided you're gay." He laughed. "No. No, that's not it at all." "You're married?" "No!" "Well, you haven't become a priest so what then? Just spit it out!" He smiled at her directness and said, "Dana, I want you. You're the only part of my recent past I remember with anything approaching happiness. In fact, even though it was a professional relationship ours is the only sexual encounter in my entire sorry life that wasn't totally screwed up." Her eyebrow rose again; she was touched by his confession but her impatience for all this talking to end and the sex to begin was growing. "I told you I went to England to confer with my old mentor. He was much too professional to display distaste at my recent past and helped me work through several issues that contributed to my depression. He also suggested that I seek counseling from a colleague of his, a psychologist specializing in rape counseling and sexual dysfunction." "Saying I 'went off the deep end' when Katya died was putting it mildly. I developed insomnia, an eating disorder, became impotent and deeply depressed--to the point of becoming suicidal. Both my counselors are amazing professionals and I credit them with keeping me alive and back to a semblance of good mental and physical health. Through therapy and their help I realized I was abusing my body out of baseless guilt and needed to decide on a new career objective to remove me from the entire circle of self- abuse and mental illness it represented." He hesitated before continuing. Dana instinctively knew his next words were going to make or break their relationship, so she held her impatience in check. "If you remember, during our previous 'relationship' we never kissed. That was the one part of my sexuality that I refused to share. All references to 'Pretty Woman' aside, it gave me a feeling of control. As long as I didn't surrender that final act, I held onto a small portion of my self-respect that no one could exploit." "But you just kissed me," Dana interjected. "Yes, I did. I kissed you because I've wanted to since right after I met you, but refused to allow myself that pleasure as long as we maintained a professional relationship." Mulder sighed, seemingly unable or unwilling to continue. Dana thought about what he said, trying to figure out where he was going with this line of thought. "Just spit it out. We've never had a problem communicating before, either physically or verbally," she stated. "All right, here it is. I want you Dana, but I'm not willing to enter into a sexual liaison with you until we've developed our relationship to the point where we're BOTH sure we want to look at this long term." Dana Scully was pole axed. She stared at him for several minutes, then burst into laughter. When she had it under control she blurted, "So you're telling me you're 'not that kind of guy' anymore? What have you done, sworn a vow of chastity?" Mulder got up and started towards the door. "You make our relationship sound like a joke." He spun around and hissed, "I've bared my soul to you here, Dr. Scully, and I don't have to take this kind of derision. It's been nice seeing you again." He reached the door just as Dana slipped around in front of him, pressing against it to keep it closed. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you, but you have to think about my side of this," she said reasonably. "What do you mean?" "Please, let's sit down again. We need to finish this discussion one way or another." Mulder stood glaring down at her but finally turned and stomped back to the couch. Dana sat next to him and took his hand. "I'm sorry if my reaction hurt your feelings. From our conversation tonight I realize that you've been through hell for a long time and I can see how my words would hurt you." "Thank you," he said quietly. "That night, when your niece died, I wanted to comfort you, but I knew you wouldn't welcome any advance from me. You'd probably have construed it as a demand or invitation for sex even though it wasn't my intention at all. I decided I'd wait until I saw you at our regular appointment, but you disappeared. "That hurt. I knew I was probably just another customer for you, but I felt our relationship changed that night at the hospital. I wanted it to change but knew you might not feel the same way and it was a scary feeling, to say the least. "Like I said, at first I was hurt, and then I was pissed, thinking only of my own needs because you weren't there to tell me know you felt. I think my anger was a way to protect myself from possible rejection and pain." "I apologize for not calling and letting you know I wouldn't be able to see you again," he interrupted, "but I really wasn't in any shape to think about anything but my own pain right then." "I can understand that, Mulder. Now that I've had a few minutes I actually feel I understand your need for change. Believe it or not, I've also changed since we last saw each other." He tipped his head, a slight smirk on his lips. "Found my replacement have you?" "No! No, recently I've not even been looking." "Really? What have you been up to?" Dana suddenly felt a totally new sensation. She was shy and unsure if she wanted to share her innermost feelings with him. "Come on, Dana, I showed you mine; it's your turn to share. Show me yours." Dana raised her eyes to his and thrust her chin forward slightly. Anyone who knew her intimately knew it was her 'false courage' glare. "I've not used the service for some time because, if you must know, I couldn't find a suitable replacement for you." "Thank you," he said softly. She nodded and continued, giving him an outline of her life and changes over the last few months. She ended with, "I've decided that I need to get on with my life so I've been looking into my options for single parenthood." Mulder gasped and said, "Adoption?" "No, I've been thinking about using a sperm donor to utilize in vitro fertilization." Her glare dared him to make a snarky remark. Mulder thought about her revelation for a moment then smiled. "It makes sense. Any woman who's ready to cut to the chase and use a service to find a lover would naturally turn to a reputable organization to get a sperm donor for something as important as a child." Dana felt her body relax slightly. She hadn't realized how tense she'd become waiting for his opinion. "Thank you." "Well, we've both obviously changed our outlooks and goals for life. What do you think? Is there any hope for us having a future together?" Dana's phone rang before she could answer his question. Since she was on- call, she got up and explained that she had to answer. "Hello?" "Dana, it's Mom. I wanted to call and let you know how Charlie's medical tests turned out. He's..." "Mom, I'm sorry, but I have company right now. Could I call you in the morning, and we can talk?" "Company at 10:30 PM? Dana, is it a man? Someone I know?" "Mom!" Dana said with an embarrassed laugh. She started to lie to her but she caught the look in Mulder's eye and said, "Yes, Mom. It's a man you know. Do you remember finding William at my place a while back?" "Yes. Is it him?" "Well it is and it isn't." Maggie Scully sniffed and haughtily said, "Look if you don't want to tell me I can just hang up." "No, Mom. It is the same man, but his name is actually Samuel Mulder. He was an undercover agent for the FBI and quit to become a child psychologist here in the Washington area. We're just getting reacquainted over dinner tonight." "Oh, Dana, a doctor! Just think if the two of you hit it off you'd be a two doctor couple. I could really brag it up to my girlfriends. My daughter is going to marry another medical professional." Dana laughed and said, "Mom, don't get too far down that road yet. We're just getting to know each other again." "I know, I know. I'm just teasing." Maggie softly added, "Thank you, Dana for sharing this with me and good luck. I know you think I meddle too much in your life, but I just worry about you because I love you, sweetie." "I love you too, Mom." "Get back to that young man. I'll talk to you tomorrow about Charlie." "Night, Mom." Dana was laughing lightly as she hung up the phone and returned to the couch. "What's so funny?" Mulder asked. "Just something my Mom said. She was teasing me about marrying another doctor and having two 'professionals' in the family." Mulder wiggled his eyebrows at her comically. "Little does she know that I've had more than one professional title in my life." They sat quietly for a moment, staring at each other. "So, what are we going to do, Dana?" Mulder asked. "Are we going to let this be closure for us or are we going to let it be a new beginning?" Dana stared at him for a while, contemplating, then said, "I think I'd like it to be a beginning. I'm willing to take it slow if that's what you want, but I don't want to wait forever to get you into my bed again." "I'd like that," he said as he leaned down to kiss her. "Mmm..." Dana said after a long smoldering kiss. "Keep kissing me like that and Mom will get her two professionals to brag about after all." XXXXX Authors' notes: The originator of this story has her notes at the beginning but her Stalker and author of the final part has this to say: I haven't got a freaking clue why I was driven to complete this story. Maybe it's just my OCD personality shining through. It's extremely obvious that there are two writers on this project. Parts 1 to 3 are entirely a different style than the rest of it, but I like to think it all ties up in a tidy little ball even without the wonderful smut of the first few chapters. No flames or feedback wanted please! I actually don't care what anyone else thinks about this pap. I've written my little ditty part and it's done. Now I can erase it off my hard drive so my Grandchildren don't see it and are scarred for life. LOL
