I was in Scully's motel room, in Scully's bed, with Scully. And we were both naked. The air was still even tinged with the faint smell of sex. We'd made love -- at the federal government's expense. The case was over. We'd wrapped it up the day before, but it had been too late to catch a plane back to DC, so we'd decided to spend the night unwinding in Scully's room. My partner had been more at ease than I'd seen her in a long time. Maybe that's why some part of my subconscious decided it was time to kiss her. My conscious mind didn't know my ass from a hole in the ground when it came to women. I'd always been thankful when the other part of my brain took over, it hadn't failed me yet. There hadn't been any moments of indecision, no bouts of anxiety or fears of rejection, I'd simply begun to kiss her. She hadn't pushed me away, turned her head or pulled back. Nope, she'd returned the kiss, wholeheartedly. After that things became a blur. I know we'd pulled each other's clothes off and made love. I know we hadn't done anything exotic. Who does their first time? I know that being inside of Scully was the closest I'd ever get to heaven. I know Scully had enjoyed herself, judging by the sounds she'd made, but there was one thing I wasn't sure of. I didn't know if Scully came. Yes, she'd made sounds, but I make sounds before I come. I hadn't felt any physical signs of an orgasm. There'd been no trembling, no internal muscles clenching me, her body hadn't gone rigid, and I hadn't heard a single blood-curdling wail. So unless I was far less experienced than I liked to think, I'd left Scully high and dry. As I contemplated how I could rectify my negligence I tried to stay still on the bed, but I must have wiggled a bit behind her because I felt her begin to stir. After stretching and yawning, she turned to face me. I was relieved to see a smile on her face. "Morning," she leaned in to give me a quick peck. "What time is it?" "Um," I lifted my arm to squint at my watch. "Almost 8." "Almost 8?" she squeaked. "We have to hurry or we'll miss our flight." I didn't have time to think again until I was trying to block out the stewardess's safety floor show. It was a two-hour flight from Chicago to DC and if I knew my partner of seven years well, there would be no discussion of the previous night's activities until we were alone again. That gave me two hours to think about how I'd selfishly rolled over and fallen asleep while the woman I loved with all my heart was left unsatisfied. We didn't end up speaking about much of anything during the flight. First Scully had called Kimberly to let her know when we'd be back to give Skinner our report and then she'd pulled out her laptop to finish the 'paperwork'. I looked out of my tiny window and felt sorry for myself. In Skinner's office, Scully did most of the talking. I grunted or nodded in confirmation a few times. When we'd finished it was almost time to leave for the day. After returning to the basement to file our report we began to pull our coats on in silent agreement. I'd picked Scully up on the way to the airport three days prior. It was a habit we'd gotten into a long time ago. There was no sense in both of us leaving our cars in long- term parking. We were finally alone again, but the drive to Scully's apartment was just as silent as the rest of the day had been. When I pulled up in front of her place, we both got out of the car. After retrieving her bags from the trunk I began to follow her up the walk. She turned to look at me with one eyebrow slightly raised. My stomach started to churn instantly. "You don't want me to come in?" I thought I would sound pathetic, but to my ears my voice sounded flat. "Honestly, Mulder, I thought you wouldn't want to," her voice was subdued. "Why would you think that?" I was totally at a loss. "Let's talk inside," she murmured as the door to her building opened and one of her upstairs neighbors emerged. When we got inside Scully took her coat off carefully, hung it in her closet and then held out her hand for mine. The tension in the air was making my hair stand on end. After closing the closet doors, Scully took off her shoes and padded into the living room. I hadn't been directly invited, but I followed suit. "Why would I think you didn't want to come in? Was that your question?" Scully finally spoke when I sat down beside her. I nodded my head vigorously. "You haven't spoken to me all day, Mulder. What was I supposed to think? I assumed you thought we'd made a huge mistake." "I know I made a huge mistake," I clarified. Her eyes widened slightly at my words and she nodded slowly. "I understand, and don't worry, we can pretend last night never happened." "I'm sorry, Scully," I hung my head. "It's not your fault, Mulder," she patted my leg. "We were both stressed and tired. People do things they normally wouldn't in situations like that." "So you forgive me?" I looked at her hopefully. "Yes, I forgive you," she shook her head with a small laugh. "Thank God," I sighed. "So?" "So, I guess I'll see you tomorrow," her voice was tight. "You want me to leave?" I was confused again. "I'm not sure what you're expecting, Mulder, but you just told me that you had second thoughts about making love to me last night. Now you think we should just hang out like buddies? Can you give me a couple of days? Until we got on the plane I thought everything was fine, so it'll take me a while to get used to the fact that you thought last night was a mistake," she was blinking rapidly as she spoke. "No, no, Scully, that's not what I meant at all," I couldn't get the words out fast enough. "Last night may have been the only thing I've done that might resemble right in years." "But you said you'd made a huge mistake," her brow was knotted. "You don't think so?" I probed. "Did you say that in self-defense, because you thought I regretted making love to you?" she searched my face. My stomach flip-flopped when she said making love and my skin started to grow warm. "No, I was worried about..." I couldn't bring myself to say it. "Worried about what?" she inched closer and took my hand. "You thought it was okay?" I looked up at her, afraid to hear what her answer would be. "Are you asking me if it was good for me?" her eyes were wide with disbelief. "Yeah," I nodded. "Is that what this was about?" she was incredulous. "I went through a day of hell because you were worried about your performance?" "I'm sorry, Scully," I seemed to be saying that a lot. "I was so wrapped up that I didn't think about you -- again." "Again?" she cocked her head at me. "Did I do something to make you think it was anything but wonderful?" "You thought it was wonderful?" I felt a smile spread across my face. "It was, Mulder. I don't understand why you're so worried," she slid a little closer. "I guess I was enjoying myself so much that I didn't realize that you'd come," I sank into the back of the couch with relief, but my relief was short-lived. At my words Scully's eyes left mine and found a home in her lap. "So you didn't have an orgasm, but you aren't mad at me?" "Why would I be mad at you?" her eyes flicked up at me briefly. "Because I should have been a little more considerate," I put my finger under her chin and lifted it up. "Don't worry about -- I'm not worried," she gave me a tiny smile. "Don't worry?" I looked at her in surprise. "How can I not worry? It is supposed to be good for both of us." "Would you open your ears and listen to me, please. I enjoyed it. It was wonderful. You were wonderful. I loved how it felt to have you inside of me," she sounded like she was starting to get annoyed with me. "But you didn't come," I reminded her. "Maybe that's the difference between men and women, Mulder. I didn't make love to you for the sole purpose of achieving orgasm. I made love to you because I wanted to be closer to you. It's the intimacy that I loved. The way you felt inside of me and on top of me. If we never make love again, I will cherish that feeling forever. I couldn't care less if I happen to climax too. That's secondary," she was emphatic. "Did I tell you last night that I love you?" I pulled her onto my lap. "No," she couldn't hold back her grin. "I love you," I whispered and brought my lips to hers. "And I know it's not important, but I'll try to be a little more considerate next time." "Mulder!" she pulled her head back. "Will you give it up? It will probably never happen and I don't want to spend every moment in bed with you worried that I'm not meeting your expectations." I think my jaw literally dropped at her words. "You've never had an orgasm!" "Of course I've had an orgasm," she rolled her eyes. "More than I can count. Just never from intercourse," she shrugged. "Oh," I was instantly relieved. "Why not?" "More than 80 percent of women don't climax from penis-in-vagina thrusting, Mulder," she told me matter-of-factly. "Penis-in-vagina thrusting?" I repeated with distaste. "You make it sound so sexy." "Sorry," she giggled. "So why are the other 20 percent so lucky?" I was curious. "We aren't all built the same," she shrugged again. "I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, but I didn't get a close look last night," I gave her a little squeeze. "Not huge differences, Mulder," she sighed in exasperation. "According to you different enough to account for the fact that you don't orgasm during intercourse," I reminded her. "Let me have a look," I stood both of us up and began to unzip her skirt. "Mulder!" she protested, swatting at my hands. "Hey, it's your theory. I'm just doing some research," I ignored her swipes at my hands and continued to lower her skirt. "It's not my theory, it's a fact," she crossed her arms across her chest, no longer trying to prevent me from undressing her. That little fact made my blood move more quickly. Scully was letting me take her clothes off. We'd come a long way, baby. "It's a fact that it's due to differences in anatomy?" I tried not to let it show that I was getting aroused. "Well..." she hesitated. "My point exactly," I said smugly as I lowered her pantyhose and panties together. She stepped out of her underwear aloofly. You'd think she was used to having someone undress her this way. "Now sit down so I can continue my research," I tried to sound like this was all in the name of science. From the sly grin apparent on her face, I don't think she was buying it, but she still did as I asked. "Okay," I smiled, "Now scoot forward," I knelt in front of her and reached for her hips to help her. "Is this okay?" she asked coyly, putting her feet on my shoulders. "Um, yeah," I cleared my throat. "That'll do," I turned my attention to the matter at hand. Most men tend to be fond of certain parts of the female anatomy. There are breast men, leg men, ass men and even feet men. One thing you don't hear a lot of men claiming to be is a pussy man, no doubt for more than one reason. I'd seen a fair number of women naked in my day and even ten or so personally, but none of them held a candle to Scully. The fact that I was completely in love with her may have skewed my perspective slightly, but Scully has the most beautiful pussy I've ever seen "Mulder!" she protested with a tsk when I repeated my feelings out loud. "Well, you do, but we're interested in details here, aren't we?" I smiled up at her. "One of us is," she tried to sound nonchalant, but the timber of her voice gave away the fact that she was becoming aroused too. "At first glance, nothing seems unusual. You keep your pubic hair trimmed, have I mentioned that I like that?" I looked up at her. "No, but I thought you might," her eyes were beginning to darken. "Your outer lips are fairly full, and the tip of your clitoral hood just reaches out past them," I ran my fingers lightly over her as I spoke making her sigh softly. "Your inner lips peek out slightly more and curl gently over your outer lips right here," I reached down to stroke her pinker lips. "Your lips aren't open very wide. Could that be why?" "No," she said huskily, shaking her head. "They would be if you were inside of me." "True," I nodded thoughtfully and then returned to my investigation. When I looked down again, things had changed. "Hmm, your lips look fuller now, Scully and they're further apart. Is that because of increased blood flow?" I tried to sound as clinical as she had earlier, but in truth I'd had more blood flow south than she had. "Yes," her voice was breathy. "It makes things easier to see," I smiled brightly at her. "And you know what, Scully?" "What?" "You don't look all that different to me," I informed her cheerfully. "I mean, you're right, there are minor differences, but I can't see how that would make any difference." "Maybe you've only seen the 80 percent, Mulder," she suggested. I'd heard what she'd said but I was mesmerized by a pool of moisture that had begun to accumulate at the opening of her vagina. I couldn't resist dipping my finger in so I could spread it around. Scully drew a sharp breath making me jerk my head up to look at her. Her eyes were closed and she was biting her lip. "You like that?" I was starting to feel lightheaded with glee. "I do, but you haven't answered my question," she fought to open one eye and look at me. "Maybe, but if that's the case, it blows your theory," I argued. "What do you mean?" "They had orgasms, Scully," I tried not to sound proud of myself. "So they said," she didn't sound convinced. "I can tell, Scully, that's how I knew you didn't," I reminded her. "But I didn't try to fake anything," she pointed out. "Scully, I could feel --" "Okay, never mind, I believe you. I don't want to hear all of the gory details," she faked a smile. I could tell that the mood we'd created was slipping away, if it wasn't gone already. I had to do something fast. "My point is, Scully, maybe it isn't 80 percent of the women, maybe it's 80 percent of the men," I hoped that would make her feel better. "And you swing both ways, do you?" she raised her eyebrows at me. "Maybe it was a combination of things," I offered. "You don't think you can achieve orgasm that way, I was so excited that we were actually having sex that I didn't notice that you weren't right there with me and maybe I need to do something special," I began to stroke her lightly again. "Mulder," she sighed and not in a good way. "Can't we get past this? Will this make or break our relationship?" "Of course not," I pressed a kiss against her inner thigh. "But if I can make you come during intercourse, would that be such a bad thing?" "As long as there's no acrobatics involved, I guess," she consented. "Mmm, good," I moved my lips down her thigh. "And would it be such a bad thing if this is the only way I can come?" her voice was starting to soften again. "Not at all," I was at the juncture of her legs. "Good," she sighed, this time in a great way. Since I had big plans for the night, I decided not to waste any more time. I began by placing feathery kisses along her outer lips. I wanted that moisture back and I was thrilled that it took almost no time at all. Using my tongue, I began to spread it around, making her very slippery. That action resulted in even more moisture. At first I didn't use a pattern. I moved my tongue around to see where I got the most reaction. As it turned out, Scully seemed to prefer to be lapped, like an ice cream cone, with upward strokes only. They got the most groans out of her. When it seemed like she was close, I began to concentrate on lapping only. It must have been a good decision because she lifted her hips off the couch and I had to chase her with my tongue. There was no question about her orgasm this time. I got the rigid body and a bonus throbbing clitoris. The fact that her legs were wrapped around my head was a small indication as well. "See," she panted when her body began to relax. "I can come just fine." "Did you think you had to prove it to me, Scully?" I reached up to caress her stomach. "Well, what would you think?" she opened her eyes to ask. "I'm sorry," I said for the zillionth time. "I didn't mean to pressure you. I just wanted it to feel incredible for you, like it did for me." "You got your wish," she winked at me. "That was incredible and fast. I usually take longer," I saw a blush creeping up her cheeks. "I won't rush next time, I promise," I began to slide back down her belly. "S'okay," she murmured contentedly. "I hope you aren't planning to fall asleep, Scully. I'm not done with you yet," I ran my hand over her again. "You can try," she smiled slyly at me. "But I need recharge time, too." "That's not what I was planning," I grinned as I slid my index finger into her. "Oh." The word came out staccato and her head lolled on the cushion. "I'm not finished my research yet," I explained as I explored her slippery wetness. "That feels good," she breathed, rocking her hips against my finger. "So I gathered." Unlike when I went down on her, this way I got to watch her every reaction. Before I could only hear her and feel her squirming. This way I got the complete picture and I was loving it. My only regret was that she still had her shirt on. I was making little circles on the upper wall of her vagina. I had a goal in mind and I was sure I'd know when I reached it. When Scully almost sat bolt upright I knew I'd hit paydirt. Her eyes flew open, but they were glazed over. She tried to say something, but the only sound she made were guttural moans. Watching her was almost enough to send me over the edge. I kept my circular pattern going in a small area until I'd stimulated her g-spot enough to make it unmistakable. When I was sure I wouldn't lose it, I lifted my finger to change my pattern. Now I was rubbing her in an up and down pattern -- a modified version of the 'come here' finger, but mine wasn't quite so bent. When I glanced back up at Scully I found her face contorted with pleasure. Her nipples had grown so hard that I could see them through her bra and shirt. Damn I was good. As I continued to caress her, I felt something on my palm. I looked down to find that my hand had become very wet. I couldn't believe it. I had no idea my finger alone would have this kind of effect. "Mulder," she whimpered, pulling me out of my reverie. "It's not enough. I need more." More, I could give her, and I didn't have to be asked twice. After sliding out of her, I got to my feet and picked her up. "Wha --" she looked at me with dazed eyes. "Floor," I explained. When I'd set her down, I began to tug at my clothes. I couldn't get them off fast enough. "Mulder," she said skeptically. "Trust me," I knelt down between her legs. "Let me get on top," she suggested. "No, then that would be you giving you an orgasm, I want to do it," I argued as I slid into her. "Oh God, that feels good," she panted. "Now pull your legs back," I instructed. She looked at me wide-eyed, but did as I said. She stopped when her legs were perpendicular to the floor. "Further," I said through clenched teeth. It was taking all of my will not to start fucking her right away. "Use your hands to pull them back if you have to. Just make sure your ass is off the floor." As she moved I began to take slow strokes. She'd know when she pulled her legs back far enough. "Oh my God," she squealed on my third stroke. "There, stay there," I panted and I began to thrust harder. Our foreplay had brought me very close to coming, so I wasn't sure how long I was going to last. Scully's pants and groans weren't making things any better. As I felt my balls begin to tighten Scully suddenly dug her nails into my arms, without losing her position. You'd think that might slow me down, but all it did was push me harder. I was pumping into her as fast and hard as I could. Sweat was dripping off my face onto hers, but she didn't seem to notice. Her head was arched back and she was wailing. It was music to my ears. It was also the last straw. All I could do was pray that she would finish with me, because I couldn't hold back any longer. My voice joined hers as my orgasm ripped through me. I retained enough consciousness not to collapse on top of her. Instead I rolled to my side and pulled her with me. We lay there for several minutes simply catching our breath. "You win," she finally murmured, wiggling back against me. "I certainly feel like I won, but could you remind me what I won exactly," I gave her a squeeze. "You're right. It probably isn't the women. It's actually probably a lot of factors, some psychol --" "Enough of that sexy after talk, Scully," I cut her off with a chuckle. "Sorry," she laughed with me. "So that wasn't too acrobatic, was it?" I nuzzled her neck. "No, but can we use the bed next time? I have a feeling my back is going to make me regret using the floor. We aren't teenagers anymore, Mulder." "I'm reminded of that every time I turn on the radio," I laughed. "Mulder, if we don't get up, we'll fall asleep here and then we'll be really sorry," Scully sat up with a groan. "But you enjoyed the sex, even if it was on the floor, didn't you?" I propped myself up on my elbow. "I've never had that many orgasms in one night, Mulder. Is that what you want to hear?" she turned to tell me. "Only if it's true," I felt my stomach start to churn. "Oh, it's true," she chuckled. "I've never come that hard before, either. This was definitely the best night of my life." "Really?" I was suddenly very pleased with myself. "But I hate to tell you that it wasn't the orgasms that made it spectacular for me," her face grew serious. "It wasn't?" I was confused. "Nope," she shook her head. "If that's all tonight had been about, I think it would have been the beginning of the end for us." My heart started to flutter in my chest. I couldn't figure out what she was trying to say. "Don't look so scared, Mulder," she smiled softly at me. "I enjoyed the orgasms, don't get me wrong. But they pale in comparison to hearing you say that you love me and knowing that I had no reason to doubt the veracity of those words," she bent down to press a gentle kiss against my lips. "Who knows?" she smiled. "Maybe that's what different about the twenty percent -- love." end please send feedback to ardywyn@hotmail.com
