"No! Mulder. I'm not arguing with you anymore. I'm going to take 
a bath," she ranted as she tossed the books aside.

"Come on, Scully. Be reasonable about this," Mulder pleaded with 
a pout.

"Reasonable? Practicality be damned. And don't think that that 
pout is gonna work," she raved, and stomped down the hall.

"Scul...leeeee," he whined as she disappeared into the bathroom 
and closed the door.

Scully  sank into the hot water with a sigh and closed her eyes. She 
relaxed as the scent of strawberries and hyacinths filled the small 
room. She hid her smile when she heard the door open and the 
whisper of clothing hit the floor.

He carefully slipped in behind her and wrapped his arms around 
her waist.

"I'm sorry. We'll go. But I am not looking forward to seeing your 
brother again. I don't like it when he upsets you and I won't sit 
there and let him do it anymore," he said and kissed her shoulder.

She turned her head and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you."

"For what?"

"For being you."

Concession 2/?

Soft elegant shadows danced across the wall accompanied by the 
subtle fragrance of jasmine from the candles sitting on the dresser.  
The cool winter evening chilled the room.

Below the down comforter their bodies moved to the primal dance 
of love; sensuous and erotic.

"Mul...derrr," she moaned as his lips and tongue made a sensual 
journey down her heated body.

An unexpected shudder ran through her as his right hand slowly 
moved down between her legs to cup her, allowing his finger to 
gently slide between the folds.

"Oh God Mul..." she cried out when his lips covered one of her 
sensitive nipples.

Her fingers tangled in his hair and gently pulled.  "Mulder... 
oh...please...I..." she cried out.  " I...need..."

Mulder released her breast and raised his head.  "Scully.  What do 
you need?"

"I need you...now...please,"  she cried as she moved, begging for 
release.

Mulder slid his hands up her sides, over her breasts, and up and 
over her shoulders, resting them on either side of her head. His 
hips finally settled between her thighs.

Her hands caressed his hips and up his back, sending shudders 
throughout his body.  She smiled and reached up as he lowered his 
head, and licked his bottom lip.  He groaned.

"Love you...now...please," she whispered against his lips.  He 
kissed her, his tongue delving deep within the warm caverns of her 
mouth as he slowly sheathed himself within her.

Their lips broke apart; he forced his eyes to lock on hers as their 
bodies began to move.   His movements were slow and deep, 
causing her body to shudder and tingle.  She was so close.  So 
close she was beginning to ache for that sweet intense release.

She moved her hand down to his hips and pulled him deeper 
within.  He was close. So close he could feel her body begin to 
tighten around him.

Her body went taut, and arched up against his chest just as he 
shuddered and groaned his release.   They both fell into the 
unfurling swells of intense passion and pleasure.

Mulder rolled over onto his back, and pulled Scully up close 
against his side.  He smoothed the hair from her face and tenderly 
kissed her forehead, tightening his hold around her. Mulder kissed 
the top of her head and whispered, "I love you."

She sighed, ran her hand across his chest, snuggled in closer and 
nuzzled his chin.

Together, they drifted into a dreamless sleep, buoyed by the waves 
of contentment.

THE END.
