Red Bows and Mistletoe

Mulder/Scully Residence
December 20, 2001
5:20 pm


Mulder was wearing a Santa hat.

Just the hat.

Scully stood frozen just inside the open door, keys in one hand and 
briefcase in the other.  She was unable to draw her eyes away from 
where they had naturally fallen after realizing that Mulder wore not a 
stitch of clothing, except for the hat.

And a Christmas bow.  

Strategically placed, of course.  A bright red bow tied artfully around 
his assets.

"Hey, Scully," he said suavely then, strutting a little closer to her.  
"Wanna open an early Christmas present?"  His eyebrows waggled 
comically, while down below something else waggled hopefully.  A goofy 
yet lustful smile completed the picture.

She swallowed thickly.

Thud.

Clunk.

The loud sounds of her belongings hitting the hardwood floor awoke her 
from her stunned state.  Kicking the leather briefcase out of her way, 
she moved further inside to shut the door.  Keeping her gaze trained on 
Mulder the entire time.

His sudden grin was cocky, and confident.

Torn between wanting to kiss that grin right off his face and. . . 
Scully blinked rapidly, took a deep, slightly unsteady breath, and 
began shrugging out of her coat.  Mulder's grin widened.

It faltered however when she tossed the trench on the floor in front of 
him, and he actually wavered in his sexily posed stance.  "Scuh...?"

Quirking an eyebrow at him, Scully kicked off her heels and shed her 
blazer.  Tossing it aside, she then gracefully lowered herself to her 
knees, on top of the coat.  Tilting her head back to meet his eyes, 
staring down at her with mingled arousal and surprise, she purred, "I 
like to savor my presents, Mulder."

She was fairly certain he gulped, and a thrill of feminine, triumphant 
power surged through her.

Inching forward a little, she placed her hands on his bare legs, just 
above his dimpled knees, the ones he hotly denied having.  She felt the 
gooseflesh pebble Mulder's skin, felt the slight tremor that went 
through his body at her touch.

But he just couldn't let her have the last word.  "No hands, Scully."

He was kidding, she knew.  Yet the thought intrigued her.  Laughing, 
she agreeably dropped her hands, and brought her face closer to him, 
her eyes fluttering shut as she inhaled Mulder's unique scent.  She 
nuzzled her cheek along the inside of one lightly furred thigh, and 
this time it was she who was hit with a wave of goosebumps.  Her 
nipples hardened almost painfully, the friction from the satin of her 
bra a teasing torment.

She was also feeling quite warm.  Flushed.  Mulder had obviously 
cranked the heat up, in order to parade around nude, with it being 
rather cold outside.  Then of course there was the fact that she was 
incredibly aroused.  Had been from the moment she had seen him in all 
his Christmas glory.

Amazing that all it had taken was seeing her man scantily dressed, to 
loosely coin a phrase.  Though the red bow had certainly done something 
to her libido, including a few interesting thoughts about just how to 
remove that festive decoration.

Well, he *had* stipulated no hands...

But first, her blouse had to go.  While continuing to stroke her cheek 
along his thigh, Scully brought her hands up and swiftly unbuttoned her 
shirt, hearing Mulder's harsh inhalation and subsequent deepened 
breathing.  Letting the halves of the garment fall open, she slowly 
undid each cuff, before dipping her shoulders one at a time to let the 
silky material shimmy off her body and pool on the floor.

She had intended to remove her bra as well, but recalled how her 
cleavage in the lacy push-up had fascinated Mulder that morning.  So 
instead, she lowered her arms to let her hands rest on her own thighs, 
and rounded her shoulders in to further emphasized her enhanced curves.  
She was rewarded by his husky groan.

Tilting her head back again, she met his eyes and seductively licked 
her lips.  His next groan was louder.  With a pleased smile, she rose 
up on her knees so that her face was level with his jutting cock, and 
leaned into him, finally dropping her gaze from his.

Carefully maintaining her balance, she nuzzled her face against his 
inner thigh, rubbing her cheek on his warm skin several times.  The 
satin of the Christmas bow tickled her other cheek, reminding Scully of 
her plan to remove it.

But not yet - she wanted to tease Mulder first.

Letting her tongue slip out between her lips, she licked a long, slow, 
wet path along his inner thigh from just above his knee to the crease 
where leg met groin.  She lingered there, giving the tender flesh a 
sucking kiss before turning her head slightly to tease his hardness 
with her nose and then a swipe of her tongue. 

Mulder shuddered, and Scully felt her inner walls pulsate with desire.

After a few minutes of such play, she leaned back again to check her 
progress, using the expression on his face as a gauge.

His passion-darkened eyes were glittering down at her, and he was 
biting his lip, his cheeks already flushed with his arousal.

She winked at him, and then shifted her eyes to her target.  When she 
opened her mouth, Mulder husked her name.  Bringing her face in even 
closer, she delicately closed her teeth on...

...one end of the tied bow.

Tugging gently, she felt only the tiniest of give.  She was going to 
have to break the unofficial 'no hands' rule.  Bringing her hands up, 
she first cupped them around the backs of his legs and squeezed, before 
slowly gliding her fingers up until she was cupping his firm ass.

Another squeeze, and then she tugged harder on the bow.  Holding his 
ass gave her better leverage, and the red satin unraveled from his hard 
cock.

Mulder groaned, and rocked forward on his toes, thrusting his hips 
once.  A second later his hands encircled her upper arms and he pulled 
her to her feet.

The bow fell from her teeth to be trapped between their bodies as she 
was hauled tightly against his chest, and then his mouth swooped down 
to cover hers in a fiercely passionate kiss.  One of his hands slid up 
her back to tangle in her hair and cradle her skull, while the other 
traveled downwards to roughly palm her ass.

He squeezed her flesh as she had squeezed his, and Scully moaned into 
their kiss, her own hands busy running up and down his smooth, bare 
back.  On one such pass, she kept going until she was clutching at his 
hair, knocking off the Santa hat that had surprisingly not fallen with 
their activities thus far.  It fell to the ground and was forgotten.

The bow was not the only thing trapped between them, and Scully came up 
on her toes to press herself against his hard length, starting a near 
frantic rubbing.

Mulder managed to maneuver them over to the closest wall without 
breaking their lip lock, but her back hit it with a gentle thud.  He 
pulled away to harshly whisper,  "Sorry, baby," after her breath 
whooshed out in a shaky exhalation, before burying his lips in her neck 
as she panted for much needed air.  At the same time, his hands got 
busy, removing her bra and tossing it over his shoulder, to quickly 
come back and pay homage to her bare breasts for long moments, kneading 
and stroking.  He then moved downward, and worked on opening the button 
and zipper of her trousers.  

When the linen pooled around her ankles, Scully shifted from one foot 
to the other, finally kicking the pants away without a care about their 
dry-clean only instructions.  Her delicate French-cut lace panties 
followed thereafter, thrown over Mulder's shoulder as her bra had been.

His strong hand cupped the back of her left thigh, lifting her leg and 
hitching it up over his hip as he bent his knees and insinuated himself 
closer to her body.  They both moaned as he entered her.

Their coupling was fast and hot and furious, and when it was over, as 
they came down from their incredible high, they began to kiss again.  
Slow, nibbling kisses interspersed with sighs and love talk.

The first knock on the door barely registered, but the second one had 
them scrambling.

"Your mother and William!" Mulder hissed with alarm, snatching her 
panties from atop the answering machine they had apparently landed upon 
and thrusting them at her.

"She has her own key!" Scully hissed back, grabbing the lacy scrap 
before bending to scoop her pants up, feeling ridiculous in only a pair 
of trouser socks, eyes frantically scanning the room for her blouse.  
Almost absently, she smoothed one hand through her hair, attempting to 
neaten the mussed tresses.

"She does?" Mulder squawked, seeming confused.  Then remembrance dawned 
on his exertion-flushed face, and he added, "Oh, shit, she does!"  
Moving to the couch, he plucked at something, as she noted his hair was 
also somewhat rumpled-looking. 

He had picked up his robe.  Scully realized he had probably been 
sitting on the couch in his robe waiting for her to come home and 
surprise her with his nude rendition of Santa Claus.  Had probably only 
shed it when he had heard her key scraping in the lock.  She wished he 
had thought to bring her robe too.  

Finally spying her blouse, lying on the floor beside her coat, which 
had served duty as a knee pillow, she moved over to stand next to 
Mulder, who fingers fumbled as he attempted to tie his robe closed.  
She grabbed up both articles of her clothing, first tossing the coat on 
the arm of the couch, and then saying, "You let them in while I get 
dressed."  

Turning to go, she stopped and softly called out, "Mulder."  When he 
looked at her, she pointed at her hair, mouthing 'fix yours'.  He 
nodded, already moving towards the door.

As she hurried to their bedroom, she heard Mulder opening the door, 
realizing with a gulp and a red-hot blush that it had been unlocked the 
entire time.  Scully briefly glanced heavenward as she mused how 
thankful she was that her mother hadn't walked in - most likely because 
her hands had been full of William and baby paraphernalia.   She would 
certainly have gotten an eyeful.

~*~*~

The sash of his robe finally allowed itself to be tied, and after 
smoothing the robe down, and scrubbing one hand hastily through his 
hair, Mulder opened the door, a wide smile of greeting plastered on his 
face.

"Hi, Maggie!" he chirped, meeting Scully's mom's mildly questioning 
eyes first, then skipping over to the wide-awake baby in her arms.  
"Hey, buddy," he cooed much more softly.

"Hello, Fox," she replied, shifting in order to hold William out to 
Mulder.  The baby was waving his fists excitedly, leaning towards his 
father, almost bouncing with excitement.  Her eyes dipped down, taking 
in his robe and his bare legs and feet.

Oops.  He felt very exposed, despite the thick terry-cloth robe.

"Da!" William babbled loudly.  

Pulling attention away from his father.  What a good boy.

"Yeah, buddy, right here," Mulder said, taking William from her and 
cuddling the boy into his chest.  He pulled William's little hat off, 
and then bent his head and nuzzled his nose against his son's downy 
soft head - which was still kind of sparse in the hair department, and 
showing no signs yet of darkening from it's light reddish-blonde shade.  

William had only been gone since just after lunchtime, but he had 
missed him anyway.  Holding his son capably with one hand, he unzipped 
his snowsuit with the other and got it off with only a little baby 
juggling.

Realizing suddenly that he was blocking Maggie from entering, Mulder 
smiled sheepishly at her, and stepped back, saying, "Come on in."

"Thank-you, Fox," Maggie said, and entered, carrying William's bulging 
diaper bag.  Once inside, she shut the door behind her and moved to put 
the bag down near the sofa.

Mulder followed, still cuddling William, who already had one hand 
fisted in his father's hair, a favorite pastime, and the other gripping 
the collar of the robe.  

Mulder saw Scully's blazer puddled on the floor at the same time Maggie 
seemed to, as she was staring down at it with her head tilted slightly 
to one side.  Then his eyes took in Scully's shoes, lying haphazardly a 
few feet away, seeing Maggie note their presence as well.  

And then, like it was a beacon, they both saw Scully's bra, hanging 
from the shade of the corner lamp.  He coughed, knowing his ears were 
turning red, and said, "Uh, Scully had a rough day."

"I see," Maggie replied, her voice a little choked, and then she smiled 
at him, her eyes shining with suppressed, or maybe not so suppressed 
laughter.

Oh, man.  How embarrassing.  Caught in the afterglow of early evening 
nooky by the mom-in-law.

So he did what any red-blooded male who was talking to the woman whose 
daughter he had just finished doing the wild thing with did.  He tried 
to pretend it hadn't happened, and fervently hoped said daughter would 
reappear.  Like right then.

When Scully did not magically appear to distract her mother, he offered 
up his son as a sacrifice instead.  "Ewww, buddy!" he exclaimed, 
holding William up and out in front of him, his face screwed in an 
expression of mock-disgust.  "Did you drop a load?"

Maggie hurried over, a look of dismay appearing on her face.  "I 
changed his diaper just before we left.   He didn't go again, did he?"  
She held her arms out to take her grandson.  "I'll check his diaper."  

Mulder handed William over, mentally giving himself a high-five for a 
nicely averted situation.  

He watched Maggie move over to the couch and lay William down length-
wise.  She knelt on the floor and her hands quickly and efficiently 
opened the snaps of his overalls around his diaper area.  Peeking under 
the edge of one leg of the diaper, she sniffed delicately.  "All 
clear," she reported.  "Maybe he just passed wind."

"Must have," Mulder agreed, big cheesy smile in place once again, and 
observed as she refastened the snaps and straightened up William's 
clothes.  His son had one fist happily crammed in his mouth and was 
drooling to beat the band.

When his grandmother lifted the baby up, her hands around his waist, he 
stood with his legs stiffly straight, babbling excitedly again, his 
fists now waving in the air.  He loved to stand while being held, 
particularly on laps.

"There's my big boy!" came Scully's cooing, happy voice from behind 
them.

If Maggie hadn't been there, Mulder would have turned and parted his 
robe, flashing Scully his 'big boy', cooing back some smarmy come-on 
line.  Instead he just smiled, seeing the joy light up her makeup-less, 
beautiful face.   She stroked her hand fleetingly down his arm as she 
passed him to head right for their son.

Maggie had stood when she heard her daughter's voice, scooping a very 
excited William up.  She held the bouncing boy out to his mother, who 
took him and cuddled him to her breast, murmuring sweet baby talk to 
him.

"Hello, Dana," Maggie said, touching Scully's back lightly.

"Hi, Mom," Scully replied, lifting her face from William's to press a 
kiss on her mother's cheek.  "Thank-you for watching William this 
afternoon while Mulder did his 'secret Christmas shopping'."

Mulder only grinned at her when he heard the emphasis she put on the 
last words.  He hadn't caught her in the act yet, but he knew she had 
been snooping around their place for the last couple days, trying to 
find his hiding spot.  No chance of that, he'd asked the Gunmen to 
stash his gifts at their place, with a stern admonition for Frohike to 
keep his paws off the Victoria's Secret bag.

"Oh, it's no trouble at all, dear," Maggie replied.  "You know I love 
watching this little guy.  I take him over to the church, and the women 
just eat him up.  He's definitely a ladies man, this one."

"Just like his old man," Mulder crowed, and made a silly face at 
William, who chortled and blew spit bubbles.

Both Scully women gave him droll looks, and Maggie continued talking as 
if he hadn't interrupted.  "Oh, that reminds me, Mrs. McIntyre...do 
you remember her, Dana?"  At Scully's nod, she said, "Well, she knitted 
William the cutest little hat.  I have it right here in his diaper 
bag."  She moved over to pick up the bag, Scully with William 
following.

Well one out of three wasn't the best of odds, Mulder mused.  But at 
least his son thought he was amusing.  "No appreciation," he announced, 
and was ignored by the women again, who were oohing and aahing over a 
red knit hat with a white wool pom-pom on the top.

"Here, let's try it on," Maggie said, and Scully turned William around 
in her arms so that his front faced forwards.  He agreeably allowed his 
grandmother to put the hat on, with nary a fuss.  "Oh, that is so 
cute!"

Scully carried William over to the small mirror on one wall - not the 
wall they had done the naked pretzel against - to show him how he 
looked in his hat.  As soon as William saw it, he took it off and tried 
to eat it.

"Oh!" Maggie exclaimed, and Mulder turned from staring fondly at 
William's antics with the wool hat to see that Scully's mom had found 
his own Santa Hat, lying on the floor.  "Was this William's?" she asked 
then, holding it out.

"Uh, no," he replied.  "That'sum, mine."  He smiled nervously and 
scratched at his head, avoiding Maggie's eyes - as if she would somehow 
be able to divine that he had worn only the hat, well, the hat and a 
Christmas bow.  Which had led to things against a wall, things she 
really didn't need to know about.  He looked over at Scully instead, 
who had turned around and was watching him with a knowing smirk on her 
face.

The smirk disappeared when Maggie found the long red bow that had not 
so long ago been decorating his Yule log.  

Maggie held it up by one hand, and before she could say anything, 
Scully had come and taken it from her, stuffing it into the pocket of 
the khaki pants she had put on.  "Um...Mulder was unwrapping...I mean 
he was wrapping presents!" she blurted out.

Oh, good one, Scully, Mulder thought.  He rolled his eyes at her, 
trying not to laugh.

Maggie looked from Scully to him, and back again, clearly puzzled.  A 
light appeared in her eyes and finally she just said, "Mm-hmmm."  She 
chucked William under the chin and gently extracted the now wet wool 
hat from his mouth, moving to lay it down on the arm of the couch.  
"I've got some errands to run, so I'll be going now."

She accepted a kiss from Scully, then an open-mouthed, wet buss from 
William before turning to receive one from Mulder.  After opening the 
door, she looked back at them and with amazingly deadpan delivery, 
said, "If you need more time to," meaningful pause, " wrap, I'm always 
available."

Ba-da-bum.

The door closed, Maggie's receding laughter audible through its wood 
surface, and Scully turned to him, her cheeks blazing red.  "My mother 
the comedian, ladies and gentlemen."

"Gotta love them Scullys," Mulder quipped.  Then 'oofed' dramatically 
at the elbow to the gut he immediately received.  To the delight of 
William, who rocked and bounced in his mother's arms, giggling that 
baby giggle that turned many a grown man into mush.

Namely the three men known as the Gunmen, and a certain normally staid 
and stern Assistant Director of the F.B.I., Walter Skinner.  

"Nice jab, Scully," he told her, then leaned in to press a smacking 
kiss on her slightly parted lips.  Pulling away so that his lips grazed 
hers when he spoke, he whispered, "And I do love *my* Scully."

She tipped her chin up to keep the contact of their lips, and smiled 
before her tongue came out to trace his lips.  "Nice recovery, 
Mulder."  Then she kissed him.

"Ba ba, DA!" William offered, and clonked Mulder on the head.

They broke apart, both of them laughing.

"Pizza?" Mulder asked.

"Oh, honey, you cooked?" Scully cooed, and picked up the portable 
phone.
