Archive: Please email URL to beduini2@yahoo.com Summary: A man, a woman, and a Windsor chair. Thanks go to Sybil, Kimberly, Dlynn, Kerri and Marty for providing commentary and input at various stages of development. Hot by beduini The fan in the window did little to relieve the humid stillness, bringing in dank, flat evening air to co-mingle with the thick, stale atmosphere in Scully's stifling apartment. The room was steadily growing darker, shadows of dusky violet and gray playing over her features and the furniture. It was too hot to turn on a light. Her pantyhose, shoes and jacket lay forgotten where she'd peeled them off near the front door. Too sticky to risk ruining the upholstery on the sofa or the chintz-covered club chair in the living room, she sat in a most unladylike position on a wooden Windsor chair in the dining area, her bare legs sprawled out wide in front of her. She slouched on the edge of the seat, resting her head against the chair back and fanning her face with the latest issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The pages made a thin, rasping sound as they ruffled back and forth in front of her face, doing little to relieve the oppressing heat. She sighed, and dropped her arm to her lap without finesse, letting the journal fall to the floor. With the loss of her makeshift fan, perspiration immediately beaded on her temples and her upper lip. Her bra and the waistband of her skirt were already soaked from the occasional rivulet that traveled down smooth skin until finding resistance in satin and cotton, and she pulled her fitted T-shirt away from the damp skin of her abdomen, squirming. It was so damn hot, she couldn't be bothered to get up and change into something dry. In her other hand, she held a small tumbler of ice, the condensation gathering on the outside of the glass mimicking the appearance of her skin. She raised the glass to her forehead and smoothed it down the side of her temple, closing her eyes to the brief sensation of cool against warm before raising the glass to her lips, drawing a shrinking cube into her mouth and closing her lips around it. Opening her eyes halfway, Scully stared at her partner, leaning on one arm against the kitchen counter, his head bowed and an identical glass of ice pressed against the back of his neck. His T-shirt clung to him, patches of perspiration staining the heather color to near black under his arms and across the middle of his chest. They were supposed to be working. They'd abandoned the basement office when the walls started to sweat, and moved to Mulder's apartment to spread out more comfortably. Mulder's apartment was too hot, so they'd only stopped long enough for him to change out of his work clothes and moved on to Scully's, since she'd had the foresight to leave for work that morning with her thermostat set on low. Of course, that was before they'd learned that the air- conditioning in her building had been off since the central unit broke down that afternoon. Needless to say, they'd stopped arguing over the inconclusive information they had gathered on the case they were currently investigating, and let the tension hang silently in the air, along with the heat and humidity and the static electricity building from the approaching thunderstorm. Setting his glass down on the countertop, Mulder grabbed the hem of his shirt in his hands and pulled it over his head, tossing it across the room to land in a heavy lump beside her discarded layers near the door. Scully raised an eyebrow at him, crushing ice between her molars. He was left wearing only a pair of cotton athletic shorts, the waistband soaked with sweat. Their eyes met and held in commiseration over their current situation. "You want to get out of here and go someplace cool?" he asked with little enthusiasm, leaning back against the counter in a manner that suggested he had no intention of going anywhere. "Where?" He gave a half shrug, which seemed to be all he could muster. "I don't know, maybe we could just drive around in the car with the air conditioning on high." A brief flash of lightning illuminated the room through her front window, and she sighed, closing her eyes. "That would require movement." She twisted her neck, feeling a few freeing pops. "Besides, there's a storm moving in." He was silent a few beats, then said, "Maybe I'll take a shower." "Another one?" "As long as the water is on, I'm cool," he replied, lifting his chin and raising his glass to his lips. The ice made a tinkling sound as it slid back down the side and hit the bottom of the glass. An answering sound of thunder rumbled in the distance, several octaves lower. "I thought we were going to finish our report." They were both on edge, unable to agree on insignificant issues in what they both knew was a ridiculous case. Mulder raised his gaze and looked at his partner. With what little light filtered into the room, he could see few strands of hair clinging to her cheek and the skin on her neck and chest shining with perspiration. She was completely limp, the oppressing humidity overriding her usual decorum. Her suit skirt was hiked up her thighs and he could see the full expanse of her legs, ending at the thin purple scrap of material that along with her bra and T-shirt, constituted the entirety of her modesty at the moment. They were at an impasse. He closed his eyes, sighing, "It's too hot to work." Impasse or not, if it weren't so hot, he'd be completely turned on at the sight of Scully flashing him her underwear. Even though he'd had the full-on view plus some on several occasions, there was something forbidden, something hot about being able to see all of the way up her skirt. Working so closely with her for so many years, it was the small things that caught him off guard, like an unhindered view up her skirt, or down her shirt, that hit him the hardest since their relationship had taken on a whole new personal dimension. He might have caught a few peeks in all of the years that they'd worked together, but she was less modest now, and he was less careful about getting caught looking. Raising his glass to his lips once more, he took an ice cube between his teeth and sucked on it as he felt a small movement down below. Okay, he thought, so maybe he was turned on, anyway. Still, as hot as it was, she wasn't going to let him near her. This he knew. He'd be better served getting back in the shower and jerking off under the cool spray, imagining he was pounding into her instead. Unless...he could persuade her to join him. His mind played out images of the two of them, slick and wet, copulating against the slippery tile. Been there, done that. With his photographic memory, it merely served to fuel his growing interest in a repeat performance. The wind kicked up outside, blowing city dust in through the open window, the fan whirring as the air passed through it. Her face wore a contemplative expression as she glanced at him, humming softly with the brief passage of air and closing her eyes once more. He could smell the dust, and her perspiration mingled with the lightly scented lotion she'd applied after her morning shower. More action down below, and he was well on his way to having to make some kind of a decision about showering as a single or making a serious pitch for a double. Scully lifted her glass to the side of her neck, the ice making the same tinkling sound as his moments before. She ran the glass down the middle of her chest, leaving a wet trail in its wake, then reached in and pulled out another ice cube, sucking it into her mouth with a loud slurp. That time, as lightning struck once more, he experienced inequivocal, definite movement. Double or nothing, then. Drawing a deep breath accompanied by a rumble of thunder, his decision was made. He moved slow and deliberate with a conspiratorial grin, easing himself into position behind her chair, jiggling the ice in his glass gently and crouching down, his face just over her right shoulder. "Don't even think about it," she said in warning. "What?" he replied innocently, reaching into the glass and drawing out one of the larger pieces of ice. "You don't trust me?" He placed the ice in his mouth, sucking the melting water off of the surface. She let out a huff, knowing she couldn't deny him that. He'd cheated, he knew. Went straight for the jugular with the trust. He jiggled the glass again, and somewhere between a whimper and a whine, she said his name. "Mulder..." Mulder touched the glass to the back of her neck and she tensed as he ran the smooth, cold surface along her clammy skin. "I'm just trying to help you cool off, Scully," he said, his voice velvety smooth and too innocent to be believed. Her shoulders dropped as he moved the glass, setting it down on the floor. A moment later, a much colder piece of ice touched her skin and she nearly jumped at the sensation. "Mulder!" He chuckled, reaching around her from behind while sliding the ice down the side of her neck, his fingers expertly guiding it farther down her chest to the hollow between her breasts. He leaned in close, blowing iced cool breath along the wet pink trail on her skin, and ran the ice along the top of her bra until her nipples grew firm and rose up through the fabric. "That's more like it." She drew in a deep breath and let it out slowly. "That's not arousal, Mulder, it's a physiological reaction to the temperature of the ice." He continued to paint her skin, drawing goosebumps while his other arm encircled her, his hand cupping her breast. "This isn't turning you on?" he breathed against her ear, flicking her nipple with his thumb and sliding the ice cube back up her throat, over her chin and between her lips. "Nope," she replied, taking the ice into her mouth and biting down on it. He moved his fingers just in time to avoid getting bitten, and chuckled again. Sliding his arm back around her, he cupped her other breast, gently kneading both while rubbing his thumbs over the stiff nubs in the center. He laid his chin on top of her shoulder and tilted his face toward hers, looking up to watch her reaction. It was dark, but he could see that her eyes were closed, her face void of expression and her breathing even. He could tell that she was considering an appropriate response, but decided it would be too much effort to slap his hands away. "Scuuuulllleeeeee..." he coaxed softly, still watching her. He softly pinched her nipples between his thumbs and forefingers. Opening her eyes halfway, she looked sideways at him. "Mulder, it's too hot," she complained petulantly, although her breath hitched, and became a bit erratic. There was another flash of lightning, this time brighter than the last. He pinched harder, noting her unwilling physiological response to his actions. Hot or not, he was unquestionably aroused, and wasn't about to let the issue drop without giving it his best shot. The resulting thunder came sooner, indicating the approach of the storm outside. "It's nice and cool in the shower," he crooned, still working her breasts. "Refreshing." He slid the tip of his tongue up the side of her neck, stopping just behind her earlobe. "Wet." She drew in a deep breath through her nose and squirmed. "Wet isn't much of an enticement." "Maybe it isn't for you," he said, nipping at her earlobe, "but I strive for it." He licked her earlobe with the tip of his tongue, his tongue still cool from the ice. "Fantasize about it." Then he pressed his lips against her temple. "Crave it." She tilted her head just a bit, perhaps trying to move away, or maybe she was allowing him a little more access. "Go ahead, then, if you want it that badly." He released one of her breasts, grabbed the bars on the back of the chair with his left hand, moved to her right and planted a knee on the floor next to the chair. Sliding his hand down from her right breast, over her abdomen and the top of her right thigh, he paused at the hem of her skirt. Then, reaching up, he slid his index finger over the soft material at the juncture of her thighs. His voice was expectant. "May I?" She looked up at him, her eyebrow raised. "I was talking about the shower." "So was I." Despite the near darkness of the room, he could just make out his hand moving underneath the material of her skirt as his finger lightly teased slick satin. It was a supreme turn-on. Then he turned his head to look at her face once again. "But this is a much better offer." He gave her his most charming, unnerving grin, slipping his fingertip underneath the elastic and giving it a tug. She remained still, and her eyes met his head on. Then she looked down at his hand, which had paused underneath her skirt. "It wasn't an offer." His fingertip was still hooked under the elastic of her panties, and his fingernail barely grazed the sensitive skin underneath. He slid his finger farther behind the satin, to the next knuckle. There was a spark in his eyes as they stared into hers, silently challenging her to stop him as he began to graze the back of his finger up and down lightly over the soft hair of her mons. She began to breathe faster, but didn't squirm or allow her expression to change. There were appearances to maintain and a challenge to be met. "Come with me," he coaxed, his voice low. He leaned forward, his lips barely brushing hers, their eyes open and still staring in challenge. Her breath hitched again, and her response was slightly softer than before, but still somewhat of a whine. "Mulder..." "Scuuulllleeeeee..." he whispered against her lips, his voice pleading, "It'll feel really good." Without breaking his gaze, she raised her right hand, and brushed the back of it down the front of his shorts. Enough to get a good sense of his state of arousal. Losing the battle, if not the war, he closed his eyes and let out a soft hiss at the brief contact. "Scuullleee," he repeated, even softer, but with much more need. When he opened his eyes, she was watching him, her lips parted. She was breathing shallowly through her mouth. Once more, lightning illuminated the room, followed just seconds later by more thunder. Raising the stakes, he moved his index finger to the side, then slid it inside of her. His eyes flashed surprise before darkening. "Jesus," he whispered, his breathing accelerating as he rubbed his finger around her wetness. "You are such a tease. How long did you intend to keep this up?" With a wicked grin she shifted slightly, letting her legs open more to him, and the wind kicked up outside, driving another gust of air into the apartment through the fan in the window. Along with the smell of dust and sweat came the sweet smell of her arousal, and he drew in a deep breath. "Until the air comes back on or the storm breaks, whichever happens first." He moved from her side, and when lightning filled the room with brightness, he was kneeling between her knees. "Well, that plan has just been revised." Running his hands up her thighs and underneath her skirt, he hooked his fingers in the waistband of her panties. Grinning up at her, he tugged until she lifted her bottom slightly off the chair. With the accompanying roll of the thunder, he tossed the satin undergarment over his shoulder, toward the growing pile of clothing near the door, then pushed the hem of her skirt above her thighs, nudging her legs farther apart. She watched him with amusement, and let out a light chuckle as his teeth grazed the tender flesh of her inner thigh. Lifting her glass to her lips, she drew another ice cube into her mouth. The remaining piece of ice hit the bottom of the glass and Mulder raised his head at the sound, then reached out and took the glass out of her hand. She chewed the ice slowly, watching him very carefully. Rattling the ice in the bottom of the glass, he grinned at her again. "Only one left, Scully." Reaching his fingers into the glass, he slowly drew out the last piece. "You'd better be planning on eating that, Mulder," she warned, her expression stern. "Oh, I am. Believe me, I am," he replied seriously, sliding the ice into his mouth and holding it there. He neither swallowed nor chewed, but leaned over to set the empty glass down on the floor. Her eyes widened as she watched him. "Mulder. Don't." He shook his head, speaking around the ice. "What?" "You know what. Don't." He moved in slowly, sliding his arms under her knees and around, over the tops of her thighs. Her breathing was rapid, and illuminated by another flash of lightning, her chest rose and fell with each inhalation and exhalation, her fight or flight instinct kicking in. She squirmed, but he held her in place, and brought his thumbs together over her mons, stroking them over the soft down. "Mulder..." she whimpered once more time, panting as she watched his lips purse. He blew a small, concentrated stream of cool air against her barely visible clit peeking out between the outer folds and her body tensed. She held her breath as he pulled the folds back with his thumbs, and as soon as the subsequent thunder boomed, he lowered his mouth to her. Her body jerked and she grabbed the edges of the chair on either side of her hips, her loud gasp echoing through the heavy apartment. He grinned, and stroked her with his nearly frozen tongue, using the tip to outline her clit, then running the flat side from bottom to top, holding the small piece of ice against her sensitive bundle of nerves for a brief moment, repeating the cycle. The ice had dissolved by the fourth pass of his tongue, and he changed the rhythm, thrusting his tongue into her vagina, then flicking the tip against her clit, over and over until his mouth was as hot as she was. Completely at his mercy, she reached down and took his head in her hands, holding him in place and thrusting her pelvis in time with his motions, feeling the coiling and tightening just below her stomach as her body prepared for its release. Right before she came, he stilled, licking his lips and sitting back on his heels. She was left panting, on the verge of one hell of a powerful orgasm, so close to the finish line. Rising to his feet, Mulder extended his arm and held his hand out to her. "Come on." Illuminated in a flash of lightning, her eyes were glazed under furrowed brows. "What, that's it? You're just going to leave me hanging?" He tilted his head toward the bathroom. "Save it for the shower." "No." "Scully...trust me." Accompanied by thunder, she let him help her to her feet, and he tenderly laid a hand on her shoulder, pausing to let her know that he was sincere. Her breathing was still heavy, and she placed her hands on his hips, bowing her head toward his chest but not touching. Her entire body was drenched in sweat, as was his, and as light flooded the room once again she could see the tip of his erection peeking out underneath the soaked waistband of his shorts. The booming of the thunder came much sooner and Mulder whispered, "The storm's getting closer. Maybe your plan will work out." She looked up at him, and holding his gaze, carefully pulled the drawstring on his shorts, sliding her hands between the wet material and his clammy ass, pushing his shorts down over his hips and thighs. "Sit down," she said, glancing down and watching his erection bob freely between them. He laughed softly, raising his hand to stroke the side of her face. "Patience, my dear Scully, is a virtue that will pay better odds than the house tonight. Come on." She wrapped her hand around the base of his cock and stroked up, rubbing her thumb over the head, causing him to groan deep in his throat. "Sit down, Mulder," she said again, stroking him a few more times before dropping her hand to her side. "Now." He let out a shaky sigh and turned, gingerly sitting down on the chair. His erection arched up toward her, thick and solid, and she wet her lips, wrapping her hand around it once more. "Fuck," he groaned, falling back against the back of the chair, giving himself over to her. Still grasping his cock, she straddled his thighs, positioning his tip at her swollen opening. "Precisely what I had in mind," she said, panting softly through parted lips, placing her hands on his shoulders and lowering herself, feeling him stretch and fill her. He groaned again. She closed her eyes and let all of the air leave her lungs as her ass made contact with the tops of his thighs. His hands went to her hips, pushing up underneath the material of her skirt to grab bare skin. She tried to move on him, soon discovering that her legs were too short with Mulder added to the equation, and she didn't have enough leverage with her feet on the floor to fuck him the way that she intended. With an impatient huff, she looked over the side of the chair at the floor, and hooking her heels on the chair rails fastened between the chair's legs, tentatively raised her body, then eased back down. Satisfied, she began to post on him, quickly finding the pace that he'd set with his mouth moments before. Mulder closed his eyes, and bit his lower lip. She was hot inside, and it was so hot outside, and every place their skin made contact was slick, sliding, rivulets of sweat dripping down their bodies, down his face, running in his eyes as they moved against each other. The rhythm she'd established was equitable to the both of them. Scully's head was thrown back and her eyes were closed, and his hips rose up to meet hers, joining, pounding together, lightning flashing and the sky outside crackling and rumbling in synchronization. The static electricity in the air caused the hair on his arms and legs to stand on end and her fingers were clutching his shoulders, digging into the muscle, but he could only think about his cock, and how good it felt to thrust, to fuck, to be. Scully shifted her position slightly, leaning forward and changing the angle in which he penetrated her, and increased the tempo, throwing more of her body weight into the action. History told him she was nearing the finish line once again, her body tightening and her movements becoming more economical, more efficient as she focused on the exact placement and rhythm to reach her goal. She began to breathe heavily, small noises escaping her throat as the tension built within her, then suddenly leaving her throat in a hoarse cry. Her interior muscles clenched around him, hot, wet heat sliding down and over him and making him bite his lip to hold onto his control as she lost hers. And he adored her...God, how he adored everything about her, even the annoying things, but that didn't matter right now because he couldn't remember any of those and she felt so amazing and real and she was here with him, still, panting and coming because of him, he'd done it to her, fucking her and he was oh so grateful that they were... In a simultaneous burst of lightning and thunder he came, shooting, thrusting and shouting at once, "Scul-lee, God, thank you, thank you..." His hips finally stopped jerking beneath her and Scully's head dropped to his shoulder, her hair sticking to his neck. He lightly touched his hand to the back of her head, breathing deeply, trying to cool down. A breeze blew past them, this time it was cool and smelled like wet sidewalk and sex. They both drew in a cleansing breath, and as their breathing slowed, they could hear the soft sound of rain hitting the window glass. "The storm broke," he whispered, pressing a kiss against the side of her neck. "Looks like your original plan worked out, after all." She raised her head and looked at him. A strand of hair clung to her cheek, and he moved it away with his index finger, tucking it back behind her ear. She smiled, a tender, gentle, satiated smile that told him all of the secrets of her heart, warming him with a heat he never wanted to lose. He smiled back and carefully, tentatively, she slid off his lap, testing her sea legs on solid ground. Smoothing down the hem of her skirt, she ran her fingers through her hair and extended an arm, holding her hand out to him. "Come on." He stood with the weariness of a man his age and she paused to crouch down, drawing his shorts up his legs and over his hips, tying the string in a neat little bow at his waist. He gave her a puzzled look and she wove her fingers through his, pulling him toward the front door. "Where are we going?" he asked, wondering if he'd given it to her so good that she'd lost her sense of direction. "The bathroom is..." "When you said shower, Mulder, you didn't specify where." Her voice was teasing as she pulled him out the door, into the dimly lit corridor. She was flushed a glorious pink, her eyes bright. Mulder stopped near the outer entrance to her building and pulled her back against him, taking her face in his hands and kissing her thoroughly until they both gasped for air. Their eyes met and held, and wearing playful grins, they pushed through the door and stepped out into the cool night rain. fin beduini2@yahoo.com beduini's fanfic: http://www.geocities.com/beduini2/Main.html
