TITLE: Wine 4 - CHARDONNAY AUTHOR: Dianora RATING: NC-17 Well, well, lookee here, it's another installment of "Wine," in which Mulder and Scully finally drink a type of wine I like myself. Once again, this is kind of tongue-in-cheek, but hopefully hot and sexy at the same time. Rated NC17 for a reason. Some of this gets pretty explicit and a little kinky. I can't believe I write this stuff. :) The Scrabble idea comes from a recent episode of "Melrose Place." Yes, I am a 'Phile and an MP fan, but I would shoot myself in the head before I would write MP fanfic. And no, I am NOT a Placemat. I just love cheesy trash, which should be obvious from stories like these. :) Everyone feel free to send me suggestions for further installments of "Wine," since I consider these my "fun" stories. The only requirement is that at some point Mulder and Scully have some kind of sex, preferably in a somewhat original locale or situation. E-mail me at Dianora2@aol.com with any comments or suggestions. Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are properties of Chris Carter, Ten Thirteen Productions, and FOX Broadcasting, and of course I did not ask permission to use them. I have better things to do, okay? Sister Ernestine really was my ninth grade religion teacher, and she really did have Dating Rules. I swear. XXXXXXXXXXXXX It was raining. And cold. And grey. And thoroughly depressing. Scully folded up the Help Wanted section she had been reading out of curiosity and reflected that she should have been an accountant, judging from the starting salaries that were advertised. An accountant or a plumber. Or an exotic dancer. She snorted in amusement, shaking her head at such a ridiculous thought. Who was she kidding? She could never be a *plumber*. The sound of heavy raindrops pitter-pattering against the windowpanes was usually soothing, but today it was driving her nuts, a constant reminder that it was Sunday and she was stuck inside with nothing to do except read the paper and watch professional bowling on cable. She supposed she could clean the bathroom or do some laundry or even start that Tom Robbins novel she had been meaning to read, but she just couldn't get motivated. If God gets to rest on Sunday, so do I, dammit, she thought wryly, although she had a feeling that Sister Mary Ernestine from ninth grade religion class probably wouldn't appreciate that particular sentiment. She sighed restlessly, shifting on the couch. Recalling Sister Ernestine and therefore also r emembering the nun's infamous Dating Rules always made her crave some hot, dirty sex as an act of rebellion. Hmmm. Now there was a way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Maybe, she decided, I need to call Mulder and get his buns of steel over here. She reached over to the end table, picked up the phone and dialed. His recorded greeting announced that he wasn't able to get to the phone, but she knew better. "Mulder, it's me. Pick up the phone." A short pause, then the whine of feedback pierced her eardrum as he picked up the receiver and the machine clicked off. "Hey, Scully." "Mulder. It's raining." "Yeaaaah....um, that's right, Scully. You should have been a meteorologist." "No, I should have been an accountant. Or an exotic dancer. But that's not why I'm calling." "It's not?" He sounded disappointed. "No. I'm bored," she sighed. "Do you want to come over and play?" "Well, that all depends on what kind of game you had in mind," he said suggestively. "Scrabble." "Huh?" She grinned into the receiver. "You heard me, Mulder. I feel like playing some Scrabble." "Sorry, Scully, you must have me confused with Alex Trebek." "Alex Trebek does not host *Scrabble,* Mulder," she said disgustedly. "You're thinking of 'Concentration,' which he does host, in addition to his regular hosting responsibilities on 'Jeopardy.' Try to get your pop culture references straight." "*Mea culpa*," he sneered. "Are you coming over?" "Well," he said, feigning having a life, "I was going to meet some guys for a game of basketball..." "It's raining," she interrupted. "And you have no friends." "See, that's why I like spending time with you, Scully. You're always willing to give my ego a boost." "Get over here and I'll give you a boost, all right," she said huskily. He gulped. "I'll be there in half an hour." Right on time, she thought approvingly as her doorbell rang thirty minutes later. She pulled her black satin robe more securely around her and took a deep breath. Even though they had been sleeping together for a few months now, she still found herself getting a little nervous occasionally, as if it could all fall apart at any moment. But she knew that as soon as she opened the door and looked into his eyes, all of her doubts and fears would be immediately erased, as always. She flung the door open. He was wearing dark sunglasses. He leaned in expectantly for a kiss, but she took a step away from him. "Is there any particular reason you're wearing sunglasses indoors?" "Not really. They're new, that's all, and I wanted to get your opinion. What do you think?" I think, she thought silently, that you're lucky I'm even letting you into my apartment, buster. "They're, uh, great, Mulder." She let him in then, and was relieved when he took the glasses off and those beautiful hazel eyes met hers, full of warmth and affection and the hard glint of something more primal. He pulled her into an embrace and kissed her thoroughly, and she sighed as his hands started roaming over her body, caressing her through the satin. "You're not wearing anything underneath this, are you Scully," he murmured against her ear. "I didn't really see the point," she answered, practically purring as he began to nuzzle her neck. This was *much* better than pro bowling. "Scully?" "Mmmm." She clutched his strong shoulders tighter. "You got anything to eat?" She pushed him away. "You suck, Mulder." He chuckled lightly and leered at her. "But I'm *so* good at it..." "You just keep telling yourself that." She sighed a sigh, not of defeat, she told herself, but of compromise. Right. "Well, what do you want to eat, since that's apparently all I'm good for at the moment?" She headed for the kitchen as he followed eagerly. "Anything. I'm starved. I didn't eat this morning because there was nothing in the apartment." "What a shock." She opened and closed cabinets while Mulder marveled at shelves that actually had boxes and cans of food sitting on them. "I have some leftovers from last night, I think. Some salad and a chicken cutlet." "Perfect." She grumbled something under her breath about never making too much food again, since she never managed to have the second serving herself anyway, not with six-foot tall bottomless pit eating machines hanging around, and pulled the food from the refrigerator. "Here," she said, pushing the plate with the cutlet on it toward him, "you can nuke it yourself, can't you?" "I think that's within my domestic capabilities, yes." He proceeded to radiate the hell out of the thing while Scully scooped most of the salad into a bowl for him. "What do you have to drink?" "Mulder, what do I look like? The Flying Saucer Diner? You could have brought something." He pointedly ignored the comment. "Don't you still have that bottle of Chardonnay that we never got around to drinking last time I was here?" She paused before answering, remembering with a tingle the reason they had never gotten to the bottle that night. Her neck had been sore for days after that.... "It's still unopened." She retrieved it from the wine rack and set it down in front of him with a clunk. "You know where the corkscrew is, you do it. I'll be in the bedroom." "What are you gonna do in there?" he asked around a mouthful of salad. She raised an eyebrow. "Why, set up the game, of course." True to her word, when Mulder entered the bedroom a few minutes later with the wine and two glasses, Scully was sprawled out on the bed, the board game set up before her. "Where's the food?" she asked. "I finished it." "You're a pig. You realize that, don't you?" "One of my many charming qualities." He settled down on the bed, on the opposite side of the board from her. He tried to ignore the fact that her robe had loosened and he could see the graceful curve of one breast. "I see you already chose your letters." "Yes. Is that a problem?" "Nah, I trust you. I guess." She narrowed her eyes and shot him a glare that was positively striking on her, although he'd never tell her that. "Careful, Scully, or your face might freeze that way." "I'll take my chances. Pick your letters." He carefully selected his seven letters and placed them on his rack, pouring himself and Scully each a glass of wine as he appraised his selection. S, T, C, L, A, K, U. Nothing was leaping out at him yet, except ASK, which was entirely too dinky. "Who goes first?" "Well, we have to each pick a letter from the bag, and whoever gets the higher letter goes first." "Fine." He reached in and pulled out a tile. Z. Typical. Scully waved her C at him. "Guess I go first." "Fine." She placed her letters down on the board, spelling out the word TRUCK, then calculated her score and carefully made a notation on her memo pad. He was amused to realize that she had labeled the columns "Mulder" and "Scully" in her precise handwriting. Mulder took a swallow from his glass, savoring the tang of the dry wine. After careful consideration, he placed the word LUST on the board. "That's cute, Mulder. Real cute." "It comes from the heart, Scully." "That's not the only place it's coming from," she observed. "You're the one who wants to play this game, when there are plenty of more exciting activities we could be engaging in." "Good things come to those who wait," she said casually, and placed KISS on the board. "Now that's more like it," Mulder said, leaning across the board as she met him halfway, pressing her lips to his. He reached up with one hand to cup her face as he parted her lips with his tongue, slipping inside her mouth. Her breathing quickened, hot against his cheek, and his own heart began to beat a little faster. It was amazing to him, still, that she could have such an intense physical effect on him. She pulled away, and a small sound of protest escaped from his throat. "Your turn," she said breathlessly, eyes sparkling. "Um, yeah." He assessed his new letters, trying to concentrate, suddenly determined to make this game as interesting as possible. He placed his tiles down and looked up to see her reaction. "SUCK? You have a one-track mind," she said disapprovingly. "So?" Putting his glass of wine down on the nighttable, he reached over and pushed her robe gently aside, revealing one perfect ivory breast. She watched wordlessly as he leaned over and enclosed the hardened nipple with his mouth, sucking deeply. He flicked his tongue over the pink tip delicately, and when he began nibbling she clenched the comforter with the hand not holding the wine glass, determined not to cry out. Not yet. When he pulled away, the air was cool on her wet skin. She licked her lips to moisten them, trying to find words, knowing that words were unavailable to her when he looked at her like that, like he wanted to swallow her whole. Slowly and deliberately she placed the next word on the board, taking her eyes from his only long enough to make sure the tiles were in the right place. EAT. His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed, and a renewed look of predatory determination manifested on his face. Without taking his eyes from hers, he swept the game off the bed with a crash, the wooden tiles scattering all over the floor. Scully had just enough time to set her wine glass aside before he pounced on her, untying the sash of her robe and stripping her of the garment, throwing it on the floor. He roughly turned her over onto her stomach, and Dana practically moaned in delight as she waited for him to enter her from behind. It took her a moment to realize that he had grabbed both her hands and was now tying her wrists firmly with the belt from her robe. "Mulder? What the hell are you doing?" She twisted in his grasp, but although she was strong for her size, she wasn't that strong. "You're in the mood to play, aren't you, Scully?" he whispered, bending over so his mouth was next to her ear. "Trust me, Scully. You trust me, don't you?" "Yes," she said in a small voice, not sure which emotion was winning out inside of her at the moment, anger or excitement. He turned her over, gently this time, and she was startled by the intense look of desire on his face. It also felt a little weird for her to be completely naked while he was still fully clothed, but she was doing her best to get over it. He lowered himself so that he was hovering above her, resting on his forearms. "Trust me," he whispered again. "Just relax." She nodded, and forced herself to breathe, to sink back into the pillows and let him do what he wanted to her. He trailed soft, slow, wet kisses down her chest, pausing at each breast to tenderly kiss the nipples, then continued down to her abdomen, where he dipped his tongue into her navel before moving to her hipbones, tracing the line of them with his tongue. "Right here," he said softly, pressing baby kisses to the area directly above the soft auburn curls between her legs. "I love it right here. So smooth..." She watched as he caressed her stomach, her abdomen, and then slipped one hand between her legs to stroke her there. She squirmed beneath him, wanting more, knowing he was going to take his sweet time giving it to her, and there was nothing she could do about it. As if reading her mind, he lifted his head to look at her. "You want more, Dana? Do you want me to stop?" She shook her head and bent her knees so that she could squeeze him with her legs, urging him to continue. He flashed her a mischievous smile and lowered his head again, kissing her pelvic area, until he finally slid further down on the bed so that he could kiss her between her thighs. A low, harsh breath escaped from her as he began licking her there, probing with his tongue, sucking gently, reaching underneath her to clutch her buttocks and press her closer to him. She found herself straining at the silk bonds holding her wrists, but Mulder must have been a Boy Scout, because the knots were super tight. Besides, she wasn't really sure she wanted to get free. He closed his mouth on her hardened nub and sucked strongly, running his tongue over it, drinking her in. She was gasping now, gasping and moaning lowly, squeezing his head with her thighs, wishing she could grasp his hair in her hands to push him ever closer. She tried to put off her orgasm as long as possible, tried every mental trick she could think of to allow the unbelievable ecstasy of Mulder making love to her with his mouth to continue, but finally she couldn't hold out any longer, and she screamed to a God she barely believed in anymore as the convulsions took over. She kept twitching, even after Mulder stopped and propped himself up so he could kiss her on the lips, slowly, sensually. She opened her mouth to him eagerly, tasting herself on his tongue, putting all of her desire into it. "Untie me," she whispered when their lips parted. He shook his head. "Not yet." He placed a finger to her lips as she opened her mouth to protest. "Admit it, Scully," he said softly. "Admit that you like this, that you don't want me to untie you." She averted her eyes, embarrassed. "Don't," she bit out. He placed a gentle kiss on the tip of her nose before lifting himself off the bed and beginning to undress, slowly, purposefully, watching her watch him. She looked him over boldly, drinking in the lean, muscled lines of his body, trying to maintain some sense of control, wanting him to know she still had some measure of power over him. When all of his clothes were lying in a heap on the floor, he mounted her again and entered her in one swift movement. Scully braced her feet behind his back, willing him to go deeper as he began to thrust inside of her. His fingers tangled themselves in her hair and he covered her mouth with his, swallowing her soft cries of pleasure. When the kiss ended he moaned her name and began to move faster within her. Scully couldn't take it anymore. "Mulder, untie me...I mean it ...ahh...this time...want to, to touch you...please," she gasped. He searched her eyes to be sure she meant it, then withdrew from her gently, smiling at her soft curse at the feeling of loss. Rolling her over just a little bit, so that she was lying on her side, he worked at the knots until her hands were free and he was able to throw the belt on the floor with the rest of their clothes. "That better?" he whispered, only to let out a yelp as Scully whirled over with astonishing speed and pinned him on his back. Before he could even react, she straddled him and guided him up into her, then began rocking wildly, almost punishingly. "Dana...Jesus," he breathed, trying to get back into the swing of things. It was not easy to keep up with her; he had never seen her so frenzied, so possessed. He gripped her hips and just went along for the ride. Dana, for her part, was punctuating each undulation of her body with a mental shout: Take that! And that! And that! Tying... me...up...some...nerve...pay...you...back...how... do...you...like... it...now...you...bastard! Unfortunately, she arrived at the last word at the same time a shattering orgasm engulfed her, and she screamed the word aloud, causing Mulder to wilt just a little inside of her. His response, as she covered her mouth, pretending she was sorry,was to flip her over that so that he was on top again, and he finished himself off in record time as she clutched his behind and moaned his name, chuckling lightly as she did so. "Wow," she said, when he had withdrawn and rolled over beside her. "That was uh, pretty good, Mulder." "I thought so," he said smugly. He gathered her into his arms and held her close, kissing her forehead tenderly. "You're not too mad at me, are you?" "Nah," she said after a moment's thought. "I'm more pissed that you interrupted our Scrabble game. I suppose you were afraid of losing." He laughed. "More like I was afraid of winning, and putting you out of the mood for the rest of the afternoon." She pulled away from him slightly. "Excuse me? Am I that sore of a loser?" "Scully, no offense, but I think you kind of just proved that theory." "Fine. Whatever." She pinched his nipple in retaliation and was rewarded with a hiss of pain. "I expect a rematch." "Scully, I'm only human. Give me a few minutes, will ya?" he complained. It was flattering that she thought he was Superman, but still.... "Not that, Mulder. I'm talking about Scrabble." "Oh. I knew that." He nuzzled the top of her head thoughtfully. "Scully, I want you to know that I'm glad you didn't freak out when I tied you up like that. Some people have a real problem with having to put so much trust in another person. I'm flattered that you were willing to let me take you there." "You know I trust you, Mulder," she yawned into his chest. "I trust you more than anyone. But next time, could you at least please give me some warning?" He looked at her in surprise. "Does that mean there'll be a next time?" he said hopefully. "Hey, I'm an open-minded kind of woman. Just be aware that I *will* get you back for springing it on me, Mulder. When you least expect it, the shoe will suddenly be on the other foot." "I can't wait," he said truthfully, feeling himself start to stir again. He picked up the wineglass from the end table and took a swallow of wine. "Do you think we'll ever finish this bottle of Chardonnay?" he asked playfully. She took the glass from him, swigged the rest of the contents, and set it aside before pouncing on him. "Not if I have anything to say about it." The End.
