Bad enough to dream about Scully.  How could he not? Seven days a week, sometimes, she was by his side, all day, most of the night, and he was constantly reminded of how gorgeous and brilliant and courageous and trustworthy she was.  He had to love a woman who could outtalk him. On the job, no doubt, your partner was your life, and Mulder was damned happy that Scully was his partner and his life. It was understandable that his dreams tossed up images of her being more than his work partner, of an easy segue between work and leisure, Scully always by his side, of sleeping in the same bed on those cases that took them on the road for days. But Skinner...? Shivering, Mulder wrapped his arms around his torso and went to the closet for a blanket.  He had definitely been having a highly erotic dream about... Walter Skinner.  Jesus. Okay, the man had a great body and Mulder certainly enjoyed men almost as much as women and he'd actually started to trust Skinner almost as easily as he trusted Scully, but still.... He's kneeling on his couch, facing the back and holding onto it for dear life.  He's naked and painfully erect, and there's a large hand gripping his left shoulder firmly, almost too firmly. That hand digs into his muscles, kneading, holding him still while another hand strokes the cleft of his ass, easing between the curves of muscle to delve into the opening there.  Mulder hears himself moaning softly, beseechingly, but the man behind him is silent, a focused silence that makes Mulder all the more aware of his presence.  He can feel the strength in the hand and arm that steady him, the rough texture of the palm, smell the musk of the other man distinct from his own, two flavors of arousal like tenor and bass in duet, but he can't see his lover, can't hear him. One slick finger penetrates his body with confident carefulness.  It's a touch that knows how to do this, how to make it easy and pleasurable, and it's a touch that knows him, Mulder, specifically.  He moves with it and feels it intensely as it glides all the way, smooth and slick, filling him. "Please...."  The hand on his shoulder tightens fractionally, and the pressure inside him shifts, strokes across his prostate.  Mulder makes a sound suspiciously like a sob, his arousal heightened still more by that touch and by the determined silence behind him. The finger withdraws and is replaced by two.  Mulder throws back his head, grinds himself in slow spirals on the fingers that are stretching him. The cool gel of the lubricant heats up rapidly in the friction of their bodies.  "Touch me," he begs, not quite sure what he's asking for. A terrific shudder runs through him as lips brush across the back of his neck, light and dry, a minimalist caress.  The lips stay there and the fingers press deeper, gently, and the steadying hand tightens, until Mulder's sure he'll have a mark, even a bruise. He doesn't care; it's going to be so good when it happens.... He cries out sharply when two fingers are replaced by three. It is on the verge of being painful and yet so good, to be this filled. Mulder's hands clench on the slippery black leather; he is shaking, and his knees are wet with sweat against the couch.  "Please," he says again, close to coming just from this, and the fingers slowly pull out of him, leaving him empty and shaking still worse. Then the hand leaves his shoulder and wraps around his chest, the tantalizing lips open against the back of his neck, and the head of his lover's cock seeks entrance.  It is wide and thick and stretches even more than his lover's fingers; the sensation balances, teetering, on the tightrope between pleasure and pain, and would tip over at once if the man taking him were any less patient, any less controlled.  He sinks slowly into Mulder as if he has all the time in the world, and Mulder has already ceased to make sense even to himself, saying yes and please and god and fuck me in incoherent combinations. When he is all the way in, the other man's hands slide over Mulder, brushing his throat, his nipples, his cock, and come to rest on his hips. The short nails dig in, and Mulder is held so efficiently he can hardly move; he can only let it happen. It happens slowly, gradually, building in barely perceptible increments.  Mulder can't stop shaking, doesn't know if he'll ever come, can't make his throat work to ask his lover to touch him, touch his cock.  But just when the thrusts are coming so hard they start to cross the line into pain, a warm hand wraps firmly around his cock, and with only one hand holding him still, Mulder can move, finally, into the hard thrusts, into the grasping hand, into an orgasm that tears his voice from his chest and sends him into a serene blackness that wipes out everything. When his senses return, a moment later, his lover is gasping fiercely, the landed-fish sound of a man who has just come and is trying to stay in control.  One sweaty hand leaves Mulder's hip, skitters up his side, and cups his cheek.  "It's all right, Fox," his lover says at last, his voice deep and husky and breathless.  "I've got you." Recognizing the voice, Mulder turns and meets Walter Skinner's dark eyes. Mulder turned over on the couch.  The smell of the leather was getting to him; the dream had been so vivid....  After a minute he threw off the blanket, got up, and went to stand by the window, looking out into the night. ********* end
