Barren Souls
Part 7 of 7

 
Anne took Scully's hand in hers as Scully gently tugged her off the 
couch and lead her back to her bedroom. Anne's heart was pounding in 
her chest, and she could feel heat scalding her cheeks. Scully's room 
was darkened except for a little bit of light shining in through the 
window, and a small candle burning on a table beside the bed. Anne 
glanced nervously around the room as Scully walked over to the bed and 
sat down, pulling Anne to stand in-between her legs. Scully looked up 
at Anne and smiled softly,

"Take this off," she said huskily as she tugged on the bottom of 
Anne's sweater. Anne smiled coyly and moved very slowly, pulling the 
garment up and over her head, then dropping it on the floor. She stood 
in front of Scully with her torso identically bared. Scully let her 
eyes absorb the sight... ivory skin and a soft, flat stomach... 
smallish breasts in a black satiny bra... a skinny gold chain resting 
on prominent collarbones... soft, dangling curls falling against a 
long, slender neck... Scully looked up at Anne while reaching out to 
trail her fingers down Anne's sides, making goosebumps arise quickly 
on Anne's skin. Anne's eyes were dark in the room, but Scully could 
still see the passion burning within them. Scully let her fingers 
wander down to the edge of Anne's jeans, where she unbuttoned and 
unzipped them, revealing some black panties. One corner of Anne's 
mouth curled upward as Scully looked up at her again and quirked a 
little smile as she gently pushed the jeans off her hips. Anne helped 
push them off the rest of the way, and soon she was standing before 
Scully in just her undergarments. 

She was svelte-looking... athletically slim, with small breasts and a 
short waist that flared out into angular hips, then tapered into long, 
shapely legs. She was built better than Scully had imagined - after 
all, it was hard to tell with her always being fully clothed. Scully 
put her hands on Anne's waist and pulled her close, pressing her lips 
against Anne's flat stomach and reaching up to place her palms against 
her back. Anne hugged Scully against her stomach for a moment, but 
then lifted her to her feet. Leaning down and kissing Dana tenderly, 
she let her fingers fall down to Scully's already undone jeans to give 
them a push downward. Scully helped to kick them off, leaving them 
both standing in their underwear, smiling and kissing. The feeling of 
skin against skin set off explosions in both of them, and Anne let her 
leg slide in-between Scully's legs in an effort to get even closer. 
Scully finally broke the kissing and looked up at Anne, brushing her 
thumb across her lips before she sat on the bed and scooted back 
toward the center of it. Anne climbed onto the bed and crawled up 
beside Scully, pulling her gently toward her so that they could lie on 
the bed facing each other. 

They laid still for a moment, staring intently into one another's 
eyes, perhaps contemplating what they were about to experience. Anne 
wanted to take things slowly... she wanted to savor every moment and 
every inch of Dana. She slid her leg in-between Scully's and tangled 
them together, then tugged on Scully's waist, pulling their bodies 
flush against each other. Scully smiled and willingly wrapped her arms 
around Anne, uniting their bodies as Scully leaned in to kiss Anne 
fully on the mouth. They tasted each other slowly and carefully, 
kissing upper and lower lips, letting each one grow slowly in 
intensity. Scully saw Anne's eyes dilate and darken as she seemingly 
stared into the depths of her soul... she felt a twinge of fright at 
the overpowering intensity of the moment, and yet she was incredibly 
turned-on at the same time. Scully watched nervously as Anne propped 
herself up and began to trail her fingers down her body. 

It had been so long since Anne experienced these sensations... the 
exquisite feeling of soft, supple skin underneath her fingertips... 
the gentle curves of a feminine body against her exploring palms... 
and the alluring scent of perfume combined with female arousal. She 
let her fingers travel all over Scully's body... down her arm... down 
her side... over her buttocks... across her thigh. She wanted to feel
it all... every centimeter, and more. She sat up and gently pushed 
Dana onto her back, straddling her with one knee in-between Scully's
legs. Gently leaning her face down, she pressed her lips to Scully's, 
bestowing a most tender kiss on her as she began her delicate assault. 
She kissed daintily along Dana's jaw, then brushed her hair aside 
and kissed all along her neck and throat, trailing feather-light 
kisses across her chest. She let her lips graze down in-between Dana's 
breasts, barely touching her skin as she continued downward toward 
Scully's jittery stomach. She was grazing all over her... feasting 
on her flesh... eating her alive.

Scully thought she would go mad from the incredible sensuality of 
Anne's slow-burn... the sensations that swept through her body were
overwhelming her. 

Anne pressed her lips into Dana's stomach, planting a kiss there 
before continuing her journey around her body. She shifted over to 
Scully's left arm and let her lips travel up that arm, sweeping over 
her shoulders and upper chest to the right arm, where she trailed 
them back down to where Scully's right arm rested on her stomach. 
From there, Anne let her lips sneak down to the waist of Dana's 
panties, and she softly traveled them across the waistband, making 
Scully's heartbeat increase three-fold. Scully put her hands on 
Anne's head, letting her fingers weave into her hair as she felt 
a slight panic arise in her throat... 

<oh my god... she wasn't going to do *that*, was she!?> she thought 
anxiously. She relaxed, however, when she felt Anne's lips meandering 
back up her stomach, chest, and throat to kiss her sensuously on the 
lips. Anne knelt above Scully, pulling the straps of her bra down off 
her shoulders and whispering,

"Take this off." As Scully's foggy mind fumbled with the clasp of her 
bra, Anne slid herself back down to Scully's panties and began to pull 
them off. Scully's heart raced wildly... she was scared for a moment 
and she felt the urge to cover herself up... but seeing Anne's 
approving grin as she flicked the panties aside reassured her for the 
time being. Anne knelt again, discarding her own bra and reaching for 
her panties until Scully sat up and reached out, stopping her hands.
"Let me do it," Scully whispered, leaning in for a kiss. Anne turned 
and laid down on the bed now as Scully knelt and stripped the black 
panties off, revealing a surprise. 

There on Anne's stomach, near her hip bone, was a tattoo. It was a 
picture of a crescent moon, surrounded by a fiery ring of sun. 
Scully's mouth dropped open, and she looked up at Anne in shock. 
Anne simply smiled enigmatically at her, making Scully grin in 
amazement. 

<...the conundrum continues to surprise...> Scully thought as she 
tossed the panties aside. Scully touched the tattoo lightly as she 
let her eyes rake over Anne's long, lean body. She was tentative, 
unsure where to begin and what to do. Anne seemed to sense her 
hesitation, and she pulled Dana down to kiss her, bringing her 
hands around Scully's back and pulling her body down to lie atop 
hers. The feeling was pure electricity... flesh against 
flesh... soft heat against soft heat. Scully breathed heavily into 
Anne's mouth as their bodies fused together. Anne slid her hands up 
and down Scully's back and butt, pushing a thigh in-between Dana's 
legs again and letting it slide up to touch her heat. Scully let 
out a small groan when she felt the contact. She almost wanted to 
grind herself against Anne's thigh, but she managed to keep it 
together and pull herself free from Anne's grip. She now took a turn 
hovering above Anne and examining her body. 

Scully started by pushing Anne's hair aside and kissing her throat, 
then wandering down across her collarbones and upper chest. She peppered
her chest with small, soft kisses, smelling Anne's perfume each time 
her nose touched her skin. Anne brought her hands up and pushed them 
into Scully's hair, holding it lightly as the sensual exploration 
continued. Scully hesitantly let her instincts lead her as she took 
her time and allowed herself to adjust to the taste and feel of Anne's
flesh. She indulged her lips and tip of her tongue and let them peruse 
every area of Anne's upper body... she wasn't quite brave enough to go 
any farther south. Anne's skin was warm, velvety smooth, and incredibly 
soft. Touching and kissing her was like nothing Scully had experienced  
or *hoped* to experience... it was so different from a man... it was 
absolutely divine. She had never seen a woman up close and personal 
like this, let alone touch one so intimately... she couldn't think of 
anyone she'd rather be experiencing it with than Anne. 

As Scully let her lips float down between Anne's breasts, she somehow 
found the nerve to stray sideways and brushed her lips over a nipple. 
Anne murmured a quiet "mmmm," and clenched her hands in Scully's hair. 
Encouraged by Anne's reaction, Scully opened her lips to take the 
nipple inside her mouth and suck it lightly. She flicked her tongue 
over its hardness and licked it delicately as Anne continued to make 
quiet humming noises. Scully released the bud and shifted over to the 
other one, not wanting to play favorites. She suckled and licked that 
one as well, relishing in the wonder and amazement of tasting a woman 
like this for the first time. Her hesitation and lack of expertise was 
unimportant to Anne, who hummed quietly with every touch of her nimble 
fingers and every kiss of her soft lips. She reached down and twined 
her fingers in Dana's hair, silently encouraging her while she 
alternated kissing her breasts. 

Scully couldn't believe it was happening... she couldn't believe that 
she was doing it... it was almost like a dream... a strange, sensual, 
erotic dream. And yet... it felt natural... perfectly normal. It felt 
as though suddenly, somehow, everything fell into place... and she 
understood. She now knew that *this* is what people meant when they 
spoke of love... when they spoke of making intense, passionate love 
with someone... *this* was it... *this* was the feeling... a perfect 
and beautiful union of two souls, truly meant for each other. Scully 
brought her face up to Anne's and seared her lips with a deeply 
intense kiss... she wanted to convey her feelings through it... she 
wanted to tell Anne how much she wanted her... how much she needed 
her... and... how much she loved her. It hit her like a freight train, 
and pounded in her head like a maddening mantra... 
<I love her... I love her... I love her.>

Anne seemed to read her mind again, and she kissed Dana back 
fiercely, hugging her close and wrapping her arms around her as they 
laid side-by-side once again. Scully let her hand slide down Anne's 
back to her butt, where she squeezed and kneaded it gently. Anne 
shifted her knee up and let it slide over Scully's thigh as she tugged 
on her waist and pulled her body in closer. Scully in turn pushed her 
knee up between Anne's thighs and let it glide upwards until it 
touched Anne's heat, making her shudder and gasp softly in Scully's 
mouth. 

Inflamed by Anne's arousal, Scully pushed Anne's hips back, 
making her lie on her back while Scully propped up on her elbow and 
leaned over her body. Anne smiled coyly, apparently pleased with 
Scully taking charge. Scully pressed her own smiling lips to Anne's 
as she began to dance her fingers along Anne's body. She let them 
drift about, from her side, to her breasts, to her stomach, to her 
protruding hip bones, then her thighs, her knees... she turned to 
watch them explore freely while Anne in turn watched her through half-
lidded eyes. She watched as Scully let her hand slide slowly down her 
stomach to touch the little tuft of hair at the juncture of her 
thighs. She pushed her fingertips into the soft, kinky thatch, 
carefully feeling its texture. 

Scully leaned down to kiss the tattoo on Anne's stomach while she 
watched her fingers touch and feel all around. She stroked her 
fingers along Anne's groin and trailed them down along her inner 
thighs, all the while thinking about how Anne had pleasured her, 
and how she pleasured herself - what she liked, what turned her 
on... it was all she had to go on, and she hoped that it was good 
enough to please Anne. She felt her stomach clench with nervousness 
as she contemplated her next step. Anne squirmed slightly and 
twisted her fingers in Scully's hair as she inched closer to her 
heat. She told herself to just lie still and enjoy the feeling of 
being touched... of letting someone please her... letting someone love 
her. It was still difficult and hard to relax, but she could feel her 
arousal growing with each tickle of Scully's fingertips. 

Scully looked up at Anne for a moment, trying to read the dark look 
on her face, and telling herself to go for it. She leaned up and 
kissed her tenderly on the lips, carefully watching her eyes, and 
Anne slid her hands down to grasp Scully's neck and jaw as she 
returned the kiss fervently. Scully quickly pushed her fingers 
down over Anne's soft mound, letting her middle finger slip 
between the soft flesh and into her wetness. Anne's mouth fell open 
against Scully's as she let out a breathy gasp. It remained open 
while Scully slowly stroked her hand back and forth, carefully 
delving in then sliding back out, saturating her fingers in 
Anne's warm juices. Anne's thighs fell open and she pushed her 
hips upward as Scully swirled her fingertip around her swollen 
clit, making Anne's head fall back as she quietly sucked air between 
clenched teeth and squeezed her eyes shut. Scully watched with 
wide eyes as Anne's face contorted, indicating her climax was nearing. 
She was getting incredibly turned-on observing Anne's arousal... she 
wanted to make her lose control... she wanted to see, hear, and feel 
her come. She plunged her fingers down again, carefully letting them 
enter Anne and piston in and out while her thumb brushed across her 
clit. Anne grasped Dana's head, digging her nails into her scalp 
slightly while she thrust her hips against Scully's hand. Scully 
heeded the warning signal and quickly brought her face back to Anne's, 
wanting to kiss her deeply while she came. Anne kissed her profoundly 
for a moment, but soon could only gasp and groan as her orgasm erupted 
like a volcano, destroying her control. She squeezed Scully's head and 
pulled her against her chest as her whole body tightened and convulsed 
uncontrollably, releasing its powerful tension. Scully withdrew her 
hand and held onto Anne tightly, surprised by the force and intensity 
of her orgasm. 

She pressed her face into the dampened skin of Anne's chest, kissing 
it softly while she calmed down. She could feel Anne's heart racing 
wildly, thumping against her lips, and she felt her hair being 
ruffled by panting breath. Scully soon felt arms closing around 
her, hugging her tightly as lips descended on her head. 

"...Christ...," Anne finally whispered breathlessly. Scully smiled and 
giggled a little, lifting her head to look up at Anne... she had her 
head tilted back with her eyes still closed, but she had a grin on her 
face. Scully just watched her silently for a moment, admiring the 
relaxed, sated look that she wore on her face. She reached up and 
lightly touched her fingers to Anne's flushed cheek, brushing her 
thumb across her soft, pouty lips. 

Anne opened her eyes to look at Scully... the deep blue sea locking 
with the crystal clear river... they said nothing, just stared at 
one another... breaking down walls and crashing through barriers... 
silently telling each other everything they were too frightened to 
say aloud. Scully's eyes grew misty as the "L" word began popping 
up in her head again. She wanted to say it aloud... but she was 
still afraid. Anne must have seen the tears starting to well, 
because she pulled Scully up toward her as she leaned down to 
place a loving kiss on her tremulous lips. Scully kissed her 
back harder, sliding her arms around her neck and letting her 
emotions pour out of her. She held nothing back as they kissed 
ardently, wanting to empty her very soul into Anne for protection 
and safekeeping. 

After a few minutes of intense lip-locking, Anne rolled them over so 
that Scully was on her back. She then lifted herself off of Scully and 
grasped her wrists, pulling her arms up over her head while pinning 
her with a smoldering look and a wicked grin,

"Your turn," Anne whispered huskily against Scully's lips, making 
gooseflesh erupt all over Scully's body. Scully could say nor do
anything... she was too transfixed by Anne as she quickly began to 
devour her nude form, touching every inch with her fingers, grazing 
over every hair with her lips. 

Anne knew Dana was watching her every move, and it somehow heightened 
the excitement. She really didn't care what Dana did; she only wanted 
to feel her body beneath her palms and taste it beneath her lips. 
Every breath she took... every quiver of her skin... every tense of 
her muscles... Anne wanted to absorb everything, and more. After 
finally kissing and caressing all the way down to Scully's ankles, 
Anne slid herself back up her body and smiled slightly at her. 
Scully felt waves of shyness wash over her as she returned the smile 
tentatively, ever unsure of what Anne was thinking. Anne leaned in 
to barely touch their open mouths together, peering into Scully's 
eyes with pure affection,

"You're so beautiful," Anne whispered lowly as she placed a tender 
kiss on Dana's lips. Scully broke into a toothy smile and wrapped her 
arms around Anne's neck, pulling her in for a deeper kiss. Scully's 
hands nervously ran up and down Anne's naked back, twining in her hair 
as their kisses alternated between tender and impassioned. Anne soon 
broke away, too eager to let her lips explore the rest of Dana's 
delicious body. She slid herself down again, kissing Scully's chest 
and the valley between her perfect, creamy breasts. She wanted to 
canvass her entire body, carefully inspecting every last part so that 
she could report the findings back to Dana's waiting lips. 

Anne slid her fingers around Scully's supple breasts, cupping them 
and feeling their fullness. Scully gasped slightly and arched her 
back as Anne let her lips surround the now-hardened nipples. She 
sucked and nipped gingerly at each silky bud until Scully was 
moaning softly and digging her fingers into Anne's hair and 
shoulders. She felt her groin surge with wetness as Anne moved her 
velvety lips further down her taut body, stopping to spread kisses 
all over her stomach and hips. She moved herself further down the 
bed and quickly slipped in-between Scully's legs, making Scully's 
head spin as she felt Anne's lips softly kissing a path down each 
upper thigh. Gently pushing Dana's knees apart, Anne leaned in to 
plant a kiss on each inner thigh. The sweet aroma of female 
essence filled her senses as Scully's quivering thighs yielded 
open to her. 

Scully had been feeling anxious about this moment, worried how she 
would 'handle' it. She had only ever let one person - a man - touch 
his mouth to her down there, and it was *not* pleasant, to say the 
least. The harsh stubble of his face scratched her tender parts, he 
didn't touch her in all the right places, and he was too rough, 
ultimately turning her off to one of the biggest sexual pleasures a 
woman could enjoy - again, according to her friends. She had a feeling 
things would be different with Anne, however... she hoped it would be 
tender, loving, and passionate, just like everything else Anne did. 
The anticipation was nearly killing Scully as Anne slowly meandered 
down to her nest of curls, gently kissing her all over and pushing her 
nose into the soft, kinky hair. Scully shuddered as Anne's warm breath 
gusted over her, and she gasped aloud when her tongue slipped down, 
daintily delving into her honey-drenched folds. She let out a groan 
and clutched Anne's head with her hands as she lapped delicately at 
her, savoring each little morsel with her lips and tongue. Scully 
began to writhe and mewl quietly, clenching and unclenching her fists 
in Anne's hair. 

<... Oh god, oh god, oh god...> was all she could think. Her head 
was buzzing and she couldn't see straight, it was such an astounding, 
unbelievable feeling... Anne's soft lips touching her most sensitive 
parts, and her warm, wet tongue exploring and tasting her. Anne 
could feel her own body becoming heated with arousal as she 
quietly hummed her delight... Dana was warm, creamy, and so sweet, 
and the feel of her building excitement fueled Anne's hunger even 
higher. Anne's breathing quickened and she became more eager, slipping 
her hands under Scully's thighs and ass, angling her pelvis toward 
her. She carefully swirled her tongue around Scully's clit, then 
pressed her lips fully around the sensitive button of nerve endings, 
sucking lightly. Scully arched her back and thrust her hips into 
Anne's face, groaning with pleasure. 

Turned on even more by Dana's whimpering, Anne grabbed her ass 
tighter and laved her entire valley with her tongue as more 
nectar trickled out, dampening her nose as she stabbed with her 
tongue and then pressed it against the slippery nub. Anne yanked 
one hand free and dipped her fingertips in Dana's juices, carefully 
slipping a finger into Scully's burning-hot cunt. Scully's head 
fell back and she moaned again as Anne carefully penetrated her 
with first one, then two fingers. She began to thrust her hips against 
Anne's face as she felt her control slipping away. The sensation of 
Anne's long fingers gliding in and out of her and warm lips suckling 
her swollen, vulnerable clit made Scully's head spin and her body 
shudder uncontrollably. She was being devoured mercilessly, and she 
gripped Anne tighter as waves of excruciating ecstasy began crashing 
over her body. She couldn't hold out anymore... her back arched up off 
the bed and she groaned loudly as the orgasm ripped through her body, 
rendering her speechless and making her cunt convulse and grip Anne's 
still-probing fingers. Anne could feel the rush that spread throughout 
Dana's body as she came hard and fast, clutching Anne's head 
desperately. Warm juices trickled out of her as Anne slowed her 
suckling, feeling the orgasm subsiding. 

Kissing her labia and her groin delicately, Anne withdrew her 
fingers and pressed her lips to Scully's trembling thighs, letting 
her nose slide through the curly thatch of hair and up to her 
stomach where she planted another soft kiss. It was then that 
she felt Scully's stomach quivering and heard the soft sobbing. 
Anne looked up quickly, bringing her face up to Dana's and 
peering worriedly into her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Anne whispered, brushing the curtain of copper hair 
away from Scully's eyes. Scully closed her eyes and shook her head 
slightly as tears dribbled down the sides of her face. She quirked 
a nervous little smile,

"Nothing... nothing, it's just...," she whispered, trying to verbalize 
her feelings. She reached up and pushed a hand into Anne's hair, 
"It's just... so *good*...," she said with a small nervous smile. Anne 
frowned at her a bit, concerned that the tearful reaction was due to 
something else. Scully pulled Anne's head a little closer to her,

"I guess I'm just a little overwhelmed...?" she whispered with a 
quivering smile, trying to ease Anne's mind. Anne still gave her a 
confused look, but she leaned down to place a gentle, loving kiss on 
Scully's lips, wanting to abolish all worry from Scully's mind. Scully 
wrapped her arms around Anne's neck and pulled her in for a deeper 
kiss, realizing after-the-fact that she was tasting herself on Anne's 
lips. It was incredibly intimate and erotic, and she hugged Anne 
tighter, kissing her lasciviously. 

****************************

They soon relaxed and laid in each other's arms, gently kissing and 
caressing, relishing in the exquisite feel of each other. After 
awhile, Anne propped up on one arm, looking down on Scully as she ran 
her fingers over her cheeks, jaw, lips, and nose. Scully opened her 
eyes and looked up at her with a grin, making Anne smile back at her.

"What are you thinking about?" Scully asked quietly. Anne grinned at 
her, recalling their 'disagreement',

"Uhmmm... I was just wondering if you've told your partner anything 
about this," she said as she continued to let her fingers dance along 
Scully's skin.

"No... I haven't told him anything... why would I?" Scully said with a 
shrug. Anne shrugged back at her,

"I dunno... you said you two were close, and I know you got snagged on 
the phone with me the other day... so, I wondered if you had said 
anything," she said. Scully giggled a little,

"Yeah sure, when he asked me who it was, I told him 'oh that was the 
woman with whom I'm having a *torrid* love affair'," Scully said with 
a grin. Anne looked at her seriously, brushing a stray lock of bronze 
hair behind her ear,

"Is that what this is? ... an 'affair'?" she asked quietly. Scully 
made a small confused face and smiled gently,

"No... not to me," she said, shaking her head slightly and blinking 
slowly.

"Then what is it?" Anne asked, raising her brows as she brushed her 
knuckles over Scully's lips. Scully smiled back at her,

"I don't know... what do *you* think?" she replied with a smirk, 
craftily throwing the question back to Anne, who smirked at her, 
lifting one eyebrow.

"I think... that this is the beginning," Anne said, trailing her 
finger down the side of Scully's face.

"The beginning of *what*?" Scully asked as she raised her brows 
suspiciously. Anne touched her index finger to Scully's lips and 
regarded her seriously,

"Of whatever we want it to be," she said quietly. Scully looked back 
at her seriously,

"And what do *you* want it to be, Anne?" she asked with a whisper.

"I want it to be *everything*," she whispered back as she leaned down 
to kiss Scully's supple lips. Scully wrapped her arms around Anne's 
neck, pulling her close and kissing her languidly as Anne pressed the 
length of her body against Scully's. They kissed for a few moments 
until Anne broke away, looking at Scully again,

"So, you're never going to tell Mulder, or anyone?" she asked. Scully 
laughed and frowned at Anne,

"Why are you so concerned about it? No - I don't intend to tell Mulder 
anything, nor anyone else... I don't think it's anyone else's 
business." Scully said seriously. Anne grinned at her as she leaned 
down to peck Scully on the lips. 

"Who have *you* told?" Scully asked, perking her brows.

"I've never told anyone *anything*... well, my sister, Kate, is the 
only one I talk to about anything... she's the only one I trust," she 
said with a wry grin. 

"Why haven't you ever told anyone else?" Scully queried, a puzzled 
look on her face. Anne smiled softly at her,

"Because, like you, I don't think my love life is anyone's business... 
besides... I doubt anyone would understand," she said sadly as she 
laid back down on the bed and stared up at the ceiling. Scully propped 
up and looked at her, plainly seeing the sadness and frustration in 
her dark cerulean eyes. Anne looked back at her,

"Telling your family that you're *gay*, right after you've gotten 
divorced, would be a bit *much*, y'know?" she said, quirking the 
corner of her mouth.

"Yeah... I guess it would," Scully said quietly as she reached out to 
touch her fingertips to Anne's mouth. 

"So... I guess it's just you and me against the world, huh?" Anne said 
with a grin.

"Yep," Scully quipped back, still stroking her fingers along Anne's 
face.

"Well, that's ok... you're all I need," Anne said in a hushed voice as 
she reached up and pulled Scully down for a deep, lingering kiss. 
Scully's eyes welled with tears again and she let her lips unleash a 
fury of passionate kisses upon Anne's mouth. 

"...God I love you," Scully whispered against Anne's lips as she 
squeezed her eyes shut tightly, trying to hold back the barrage of 
tears that began to seep out against her will.

"I love you," Anne whispered in return as she held Scully's face 
against hers and kissed it all over again and again.

They held each other for a long time, not saying anything more... just 
caressing each other gently until they soon began to succumb to the 
dark welcome of sweet sleep.

*******************************

Sometime during the night, Anne bolted upright in bed, suddenly aware 
that she was not in her own bed. She looked around in a panic, trying 
desperately to get her bearings. The room looked unfamiliar... it 
smelled unfamiliar... she was stark naked, and... someone or 
some*thing* was moving beside her. Anne's jolt had awakened Scully, 
and she slowly sat up. She blinked and looked around for a moment, 
quickly remembering that Anne was here, and they were sleeping 
together in her bed. But Anne sat beside her now, breathing heavily, 
pulling the sheets up over her body, and staring at her as though she 
had two heads. 

"What's the matter?" Scully whispered to Anne in sleep-slurred speech. 
Anne stared at her as realization of where she was and who she was 
with slowly dawned on her. 

"Are you alright?" Scully asked again, reaching out to touch Anne's 
exposed arm. Anne closed her eyes for a moment, now fully aware of her 
surroundings, and a little embarrassed at her panic. 

"Yes... I'm fine," she said as she relaxed the sheets and rubbed her 
eyes. She had forgotten about her habit of panicking in her sleep when 
slumbering in a foreign place. Apparently, her body had a way of 
'knowing' when it was in unfamiliar surroundings, and it would wake up 
in a jumble of confusion. Anne slid her legs over the side of the bed 
and got out, slowly shuffling toward the bathroom. Scully worriedly 
watched her nude form walk out the door, then decided to go after her, 
just to make sure she was okay. When she reached the closed door of 
the bathroom, she carefully pushed it open, observing Anne leaning 
over the sink, splashing water on her face. Anne's upright body looked 
thinner and more pale in the soft light of the bathroom... she had 
numerous freckles on her shoulders, and Scully could see tan-lines 
from a bathing suit. Anne sensed that Scully was there, and she looked 
up into the mirror, seeing Dana standing in back of her.

"Everything okay?" Scully asked timidly as she touched Anne's back 
lightly. Anne nodded at her, blinking and smiling weakly. 

"I'm fine," she whispered,

"...Must have been dreaming or something," Anne said with a shrug, too 
embarrassed to tell Dana that she didn't know where she was. Scully 
gave a slight nod and darted her eyes around nervously as Anne turned 
around to look at her, patting her face dry with a towel. Scully 
watched her for a moment, suddenly worried that Anne was going to say 
that she had to leave or something.

"Are you going home now?" Scully asked quietly. Anne frowned at her a 
little, surprised by the question,

"No... did you *want* me to go home?" she asked in return, her brows 
arched expectantly.

"No, no...," Scully spat out quickly, shaking her head,

"...I want you to stay," she said earnestly. Anne looked at her and 
stepped closer to her,

"Good... I want to stay," she said with a gentle smile. Scully smiled 
back at her and closed the gap between them, pressing her naked body 
against Anne's as she reached up to kiss her tenderly. Anne brought 
her arms around Scully's small, warm body, pulling her close and 
feeling familiar sensations sweep through her as she returned the kiss 
deeply. Scully let herself drown in Anne's passion as their mouths met 
hotly, tongues dueling and lips suckling as their hands roamed each 
other's bodies... they couldn't get enough of each other... it was 
like a drug... they craved the touch and feel of one another. 

Scully pulled away for a moment and took Anne's hand in hers, 
silently leading her back to the bed. When they reached the side 
of the bed, Scully sat down, pulling Anne between her legs. She 
kissed Anne's stomach, running her hands up and down her thighs and 
sides as Anne pushed her fingers into her coppery hair and smiled. 
Scully looked up and saw Anne's gentle smile, making her smile 
back... they looked at each other for a moment, silently acknowledging 
their love and happiness. Anne let go of Scully and climbed onto 
the bed behind her, crouching on her knees and straddling Scully 
from behind. An excited smile crossed Scully's lips as she wondered 
what Anne was up to. 

Scully felt herself melt helplessly when Anne leaned down and kissed 
her shoulders while letting her hands roam down her arms, stomach, and 
thighs. Anne leaned down further and kissed Scully's neck and jaw 
while dragging her fingers up her thighs and into her soft mound of 
hair. Scully let out a deep breath and spread her thighs apart eagerly 
as Anne pushed her fingers down into Scully's cunt, sliding them 
into the warm, wet folds. As Dana's mouth fell open, Anne captured it 
with her own while she plunged her fingers down further, letting them 
enter Scully's hot, tight opening. She brushed her thumb back and 
forth across Scully's swollen clit while she slid her other arm around 
Scully's neck, pulling her close and kissing her harder, wanting to 
taste and feel Dana's ecstasy again. 

Anne began a maddening pace, pumping her fingers and swirling her 
thumb around Scully's vulnerable clit, driving her to the brink of 
orgasm. But, before Scully came, Anne abruptly removed herself from 
behind her, letting her lie back on the bed while she quickly 
inverted herself so that she could attack Scully's throbbing clit 
with her mouth. She pulled Dana's thighs apart farther, pressing 
her lips to the juicy folds, and snaking her tongue out to dip 
into her. She pressed her mouth around the engorged button 
and alternated flicking her tongue back and forth and sucking it 
mercilessly, while she plunged her thumb into Scully's cunt and 
brushed her middle finger across her anus. The combination of being 
fucked and eaten alive was too much for Scully... her body convulsed 
and jerked upward as Anne plundered her, and she reached out blindly, 
grabbing ahold of Anne's waist and ass as she began to slip over the 
edge. Scully groaned aloud, her thighs stiffening and her hips 
thrusting upward as the orgasm ripped through her body. Anne continued 
to hold her position steadfastly, hungrily devouring and suckling 
Scully, pushing her over the threshold again into another blinding 
orgasm. Anne pressed her body against Scully's and held onto her 
tightly as the final climax crescendoed and everything relaxed. She 
removed her hand and kissed Dana's thighs tenderly before she turned 
around and crawled back up beside Scully, pressing their bodies 
together and holding her tightly again. After a few breathless 
minutes, Scully turned to Anne with a grin, kissing her softly on the 
lips.

"I'm going to be sore tomorrow, you realize that don't you?" she 
whispered to Anne.

"No problem, I'm a doctor." Anne replied with a smile, making Scully 
giggle as they kissed again. 

After a few minutes of resting, Scully sat up and climbed on top of 
Anne, straddling her and leaning down to kiss her teasingly. Anne 
grinned widely, pleased by her mischievousness, and wondering what she 
would do to her next. Scully traced her tongue around Anne's parted 
lips, then slowly drug it down her chin and throat to her chest, where 
she began kissing Anne's soft breasts. Dana moved quickly, suckling 
Anne's nipples briefly, then moving down to her stomach and her 
protruding hip bones, all the while letting her hands caress and touch 
Anne's skin all over. Scully moved slowly down to Anne's curly thatch 
of hair, letting her nose and lips part the soft, kinky stuff, feeling 
and smelling and touching curiously. She rose up for a moment, pushing 
Anne's legs apart slightly and looking up at her as Anne propped 
herself up on her elbows. The understanding look in Anne's eyes told 
her that she didn't have to do this, but Dana smiled back at her, 
silently telling her that she wanted to do it... she wanted to 
experience it... she wanted to please Anne as she had pleased her. 

She leaned up to place a tender kiss on Anne's mouth, then slid herself 
back down, pressing her lips against Anne's inner thigh as she smelled 
and felt the heat emanating from her. The scent was sweet and musky... 
a smell like no other... something about it turned Scully on 
immensely, and she delicately began to kiss Anne's groin and labia, 
brushing her nose in the soft hair and darting her tongue out shyly. 
Anne watched with wide eyes until she could take no more... her head 
fell back as she laid back down on the bed, bringing her hands down to 
sink her fingers into Scully's hair. She tried desperately to hold 
still while Scully's tongue flickered out to taste her hesitantly. 
Scully was being so gentle and careful, Anne was sure she had no idea 
that she was driving her crazy with her solicitous invasion. 

Over and over again, Scully would slowly delve her tongue in to taste 
daintily, then push it up over Anne's throbbing clit... her actions 
began to grow bolder as she felt Anne clutching her hair in her fists, 
silently telling her that she was doing all the right things. Feeling 
more brave, she brought one hand up to let her fingertips dip into 
Anne's juices, sliding them around and in-between the slick folds. 
She then slid her other arm underneath Anne's ass, grabbing hold 
firmly while she gingerly pressed her warm lips around Anne's clit 
and plunged a finger deeply into her. Anne couldn't hold still any 
longer... her hips thrust upward and she let out a long groan, 
fighting hard not to grab Dana's head and squeeze it. Scully was 
oblivious to Anne's clutching hands - she was too turned-on by Anne's 
reactions to notice. She latched on to Anne's clit hungrily, hammering 
it with her tongue as she let her fingers fuck her gently but deeply. 
Anne could feel the pulsations building inside her as she moved her 
hips urgently against Scully's mouth. Her back arched up off the bed 
involuntarily as her mouth fell open and gasped for air, the onslaught 
of Scully's tongue finally causing a thunderous eruption that 
catapulted her over the edge. Scully could feel the orgasm as it 
rocked Anne's body... Anne's muscles contracted around Dana's 
fingers, her stomach tensed, and she clenched her fists in her 
hair, mildly squeezing her thighs around Scully's head and pinning 
it until the climax slowly abated. Anne's thighs released Scully's 
head as they collapsed down on the bed, allowing Scully to carefully 
extricate herself from between Anne's legs and climb back up to 
lay on top of her. 

They both laid very still for a moment, trying to catch their 
breath... their bodies and minds were too spent to do anything 
else. Scully pressed her lips to Anne's heaving chest, feeling 
her heart thudding beneath her sweat-dampened skin. Anne slid 
her arms up over Dana's back, pushing her hands into her hair and 
caressing her lovingly. 

They rested in silence for a long time, the only movement being the 
expansion of their chests as they breathed. A million thoughts spun 
round and round inside Scully's head, but the immediate one was... she 
felt fulfilled. She felt peaceful, she felt loved, and she felt 
*happy*. She knew now that she had never been happy before - not 
really. Sure, she had thought she was lots of times, but it was 
nothing compared to the way she felt right now. She never had anyone 
love her the way Anne did... never, never, never... it was beautiful 
and passionate, like nothing she'd ever experienced before. No man 
could ever come close to giving her what Anne did... it was so 
*completely* different... so totally emotional and unbelievably 
tender. Anne was a quiet, but immensely sensual and intense lover, 
wanting to please Dana first and foremost; seemingly able to give to 
her what she craved without either of them ever speaking a word. 

Scully felt like her heart would burst from the enormity of the 
feelings coursing through her, and she felt her eyes sting with tears 
as she quickly shifted herself so that they laid side-by-side. They 
held each other close and Anne kissed Scully tenderly through the damp 
tracks left by her tears. 

Anne never felt so deeply and so completely 'right' about anyone 
like she did with Dana. Dana was passionate, sensitive, and 
open... more than Anne dreamed she would be. Anne marveled at the 
way they were able to read each other's minds, agreeing perfectly 
on what they wanted and needed from each other, and giving 
eagerly. Anne truly believed that Dana Scully was her soul mate.

They filled the voids in each other's barren souls... their hollow 
lives were full once more... their once-empty hearts were filling with 
love again, and each of them silently thanked the unknown Gods for 
allowing their lonely paths to cross. As they began to drift off to 
sleep once again, they cuddled and held each other tighter, wanting 
never to leave the safe haven of their secure, loving enfold.
