This Kiss

(Mulder pov)                                                              

 I curse to myself as I see her walk back into the room, carrying a stack of files, and looking beautiful as ever.  She and I have been assigned on a case in San Diego, CA, trying to solve the mystery of the disappearing man. I have half a mind just to screw this one, and take her to the beach.  But then I would probably be slapped, or shot again, if she saw me staring at her as she paraded around in a swimsuit.

Her voice calls my name and brings me back to the current time, she droning on about the autopsy that she preformed, but all I can think about is kissing those kissable lips, wondering if she would whisper my name as I preformed this task.   All I can think about these days is her.  When I am alone in my apartment, I pretend that the people on my porn video collection, is us. I know that its stupid, and that there is no way in hell that she could ever want me--but I am hers.

Truth is that I have been hers since the very beginning, she never knowing that I am totally wrapped around her finger.  I would do anything for her; kill any man that dared to look at her. All I end up doing is giving these men evil glares when they look at her, me withholding my urge to plant a "she's mine" sign around her neck.

Damn it, I want to kiss her

I often wonder what it would be like if we crossed the line between friends and lovers.  Is she a moner?  Or a screamer?  Does she like to cuddle?  Would she be uncomfortable with this newfound relationship?  These things enter my mind, always wondering, but never finding the answer.

want her

It feels like I have wanted her forever.  This yearning that I have for her is so strong, for sometimes I can feel the ache in my heart.  I have been alone for so long, I often forget what it is like to have a woman in my arms.

"Mulder."  She says, her voice impatient. "You haven't been listening to a word I am saying."  I smile as I adjust my legs on the hotel bed, to prevent any cramps from starting.  I take her hand in mine and give it a squeeze.

"Tell me later."  I murmur as I move forward, colliding her lips with mine, withholding the urge to deepen this kiss.

"Mul-" She starts, then silences, kissing me back.   As I realize that this beautiful woman, this strong-willed, kick ass woman is kissing me, the sorry son-of-a-bitch, I deepen the kiss, moving her body closer to mine, placing one hand on her lower back and the other on her cheek.   After a few minutes of this, we break the kiss, both of us breathless and panting for air.

"Hi" I say as I catch my breath.

Hi."  Scully says, a questioning look in her eyes.

Almost if I could read her thoughts I say "Its something that I wanted to do for the longest time, Scully."

"You want to do it again?"  She asks, her eyes avoiding mine. As I bend my head down, and place my lips upon hers, I think that she has my answer.
