Hiding their relationship wasn't easy, especially when they were stuck
undercover with fellow agents Mulder and Scully, but Monica and John had
gotten relatively good at it over the past month. Now, however, they were
beginning to feel the tension growing between them as they went on their
third night sleeping alone.
It was crucial to the case that Mulder and Scully, and she and John all appeared as estranged couples coming to the Northern Pines Marriage Center for counseling. So, she and Scully shared a motel room, and Mulder and John shared one.
Unfortunately they couldn't get a room with adjoining doors, so sneaking to one other's rooms during the night was out of the question. They couldn't take the chance that they were being watched by Northern Pines employees.
Monica knew it must be hard for Mulder and Scully too, but they could steal kisses when the four agents were alone. After all, both Monica and John knew about Scully and Mulder's relationship, and a few kisses snuck here and there wasn't out of the question. However, neither Mulder nor Scully knew of Monica and John's involvement so there was no opportunities for stolen kisses or touches. Monica was going half crazy without the taste of John's kiss.
Their counseling group wasn't meeting that evening, so they had the evening to themselves after they finished an update report for Skinner. The four had decided to meet in Scully and Monica's room and stay for awhile. Mulder and Scully wanted...actually needed to spend some time together. They decided to explain the all night party to the group by saying they stayed up all night trying some of the communication techniques discussed that week. John was especially glad, even if he couldn't touch Monica, he could be with her and smell her and enjoy her company. That was enough for now.
**That evening**
Soon after the boys arrival, they ordered a pizza and made quick work of the slices. When that was done, they brought out a bottle of wine and each poured a glass, toasting to the quick resolution of the case.
One and a half bottles of wine later, Mulder and Scully were lying together on the couch in the hotel room, making out like horny teenagers. John and Monica had tried not paying attention, but it was hard with all the noise they were making. So Monica had decided to go for a run, and John had opted to stay behind and get his shower out of the way.
When Monica returned, she and John discussed sleeping arrangements while Mulder and Scully took their turn in the shower.
"I think we should let Mulder and Scully take her bed, you take yours, and I'll take the couch."
"John, that couch really isn't comfortable, and there's absolutely no reason two consenting adults can't sleep in the same bed. Strictly professional."
"See, I thought about that Mon," John whispered, coming closer to her and bending his mouth to her ear, "But I'm not sure I'd be able to keep my hands off you if I got you into bed."
Playing along, she lowered her voice an octave and replied, "Who says I'd want you to?"
Before John could come back with a remark of his own, the bathroom door opened to reveal Mulder and Scully in their pajamas, obviously ready for bed.
Scully was the first to bring up the sleeping situation, "So how are we separating the beds?"
"John and I figured you and Mulder wouldn't mind sharing your bed, and I offered the other half of mine to him. Unless he opts for that very uncomfortable couch, and that's up to him."
Mulder laughed, "What's the matter Doggett, scared Monica will bite ya?"
Monica saw John's eyes flash with desire before he forced out a decent laugh. "Nah, I'll take my chances. Just don't leave bite marks where you can see em okay? I do have a job to keep you know," he said, directing the last part of his remark to Monica.
"Haha, I'll try my best."
Deciding it was time to hit the sheets, Mulder and Scully climbed in her bed and curled up together; legs, arms, and every other part of their bodies were somehow twisted within the others. Amazingly they fell asleep quickly.
Doggett laughed before joining Monica in her bed, "Guess they took care of whatever energy they had left in the shower."
Monica slid as close to John as she could without being on top of him, "So how are we going to take care of our extra energy?"
