It's pretty short, but I found the first paragrahy thing sitting on my hard drive so I figured I'd finish it. ----------- "She Knew" by Amatia She knew. She knew that she'd be out of a job in a minute if Skinner found out She knew that Mulder would never trust her again if he had the slightest idea of what she was doing. She knew that what she was doing was something she'd never forgive herself for if she stopped to think about the consequences. But all she knew right now was the scent of his skin in the hollow of his throat where she kept nuzzling. The feel of his hard chest against her cheek as they moved together. The unexpected softness of his hungry lips. The throbbing length of his manhood as he gently eased his way inside her. The ancient rhythm that they moved to. His breath coming in harsh gasps near her ear. "Scully..." And she was nearing the edge, too. His name rose to her lips, but his mouth covered hers in a deep kiss just as all the fireworks exploded behind her eyes and she was falling back to earth, shattered in a million pieces. They lay tangled in the sheets and each other for a long time, breathing together, trying to understand what they had just done. She looked over at him once, to tell him that he had to leave before Mulder caught them. "He can't know you're here, or he'll kill you." Then she drowned in those wide green eyes surrounded by a thick forest of lashes that swept his cheek in an incredibly sexy manner whenever he blinked. "I don't want to leave," he whispered back. "Let me stay here with you for a few moments longer." And she gave in, curling herself close to him as he wrapped his arms around her. Finally he rose, and dressed. Black jeans, white t-shirt, black leather jacket. Baseball cap. He looked down at her as she lay naked, wrapped in her silk sheets. He pulled something from his pocket and dropped it on the sheet beside her. She picked it up. It was a St. Christopher medal, inscribed in Russian. "I can't take this," she murmured. "Hold on to it for me," he replied. "It will give me a reason to come back." "I can't promise anything," she whispered. "I know," he said. And then he was gone, as quick as he had arrived, and she was left to disentangle herself and lay naked on top of the sheets, tracing the necklace over her body. It was cool as she dragged it across her skin, but it gradually warmed. She watched it reflect the candelight for a minute, then laid it on the bedside table. Then she rose and went to the shower to wash away the physical remainer of their passion. She knew that he would return. But she didn't know if she would still be there for him. ---end--- "Mulder didn't say that it *was* Alex Trebek...it was just someone that looked incredibly like him." -Scully , "Jose Chung's *From Outer Space*"
