Doggett will never know what hit him! ;) Dedication: To all my SHODDS sisters. You guys'll like this one! ;) Especially Lisa, who is my greatest source of encouragement in writing. And Meg, who has helped bring out the wicked side of me that helped me in the creating of this particular story. ;) A special thanks goes to Michelle, as this fic was written in response to her challenge. :) And to all the people who have worked to create these characters and bring them to life: thank you! :) Author's Notes: Written in response to a challenge posted on SHODDS. Also, in this universe, Mulder and Scully never had a romantic relationship. They may have had "one lonely night", but that was all. They remain best friends. And William doesn't exist at all. I find that plotline to be a real bit** to work into stories. ;) There's a Little Witch in Every Woman By Diandra Hollman Dear God...is she *tryin'* to drive me crazy? Couldn't she drink lemonade or somethin' like everybody else? The weather outside must be 90 degrees in the shade, but I didn't even notice it until Scully came into the office sucking on a bright red popsicle. I wonder how many women realize how this kind of thing affects us guys? Doesn't she know how hot it makes us? /Yeah, probably,/ my mind supplies. /But she probably isn't thinking about it right now.../ I don't know which is worse; her cheeks hollowing out ever so slightly as she takes half of it into her mouth at once or the way she licks happily along the sides of it. I know that if I keep watching this I'm going to embarrass myself, but no matter how hard I try, I can't drag my eyes away from the sight of her perfect little lips surrounding the frozen treat. All I can think of is how those lips would feel wrapped around *me*. She's not making it any easier for me either. As the minutes pass, she's becoming more and more enthusiastic - opening her mouth a little so I can get an even clearer view of her tongue as it twines around the popsicle, occasionally letting out a contented sigh. I can't help but wonder if she is doing this on purpose. But since she hasn't even looked in my direction since she came into the office I guess that's just my ego talking. Either way, my body is definitely responding. I should really get out before I disgrace myself, but I'm afraid that if I stand up she'll see the tent in my slacks that has been growing since she started this whole charade. Oh, God...what am I supposed to do now? In my mind, I see myself striding purposefully over to her, taking the hand holding the popsicle in my own, pulling it gently from her mouth and bringing it to mine. I give a deliberate suck, my eyes locking onto hers the entire time. I watch as her shocked expression turns steadily into desire, her eyes smoldering with passion and her mouth opening slightly as her breaths turn into soft, barely audible pants. /Oh yeah... I've got her attention now,/ I think as I smile around the dessert. Then I let the popsicle slide out of my mouth with an audible popping noise. I take it from her and lay it on the wrapper she left on the desk and look back into her lust-filled eyes briefly before I cup her face between my hands and cover her lips with mine. The cold that the popsicle has left in our mouths is quickly obliterated by the heat of our kiss. I gently coax her tongue with mine and she happily complies - letting them tangle in an erotic dance. I groan into her mouth. She gives a responding whimper of pleasure and reaches her hands around to the back of my neck to draw me closer... In reality though, she would probably yank the popsicle out of my mouth and demand to know exactly what I thought I was doing. Her eyes close now as she takes the popsicle deep into her mouth, her cheeks now hollowing in earnest. I can't take this anymore! I don't care if she sees how hard I've gotten watching her eat that stupid thing. Maybe she'll get the idea and stop teasing me like this. I jump up and flee from the room without even giving her an excuse - lame as it may have been - for my behavior. Maybe (hopefully) by the time I've gotten the problem 'taken care of' and composed myself enough to be able to face her again without behaving like a hormone-crazed teenager, she'll have finished the popsicle. ********** SCULLY I almost choked on the popsicle when Doggett fled from the room. I had seen the look on his face when I walked into the room and just couldn't resist the idea of teasing him a little. I felt a rush of feminine power at my ability to get him really 'hot under the collar' without so much as *looking* in his direction. I could see him out of the corner of my eyes, shifting in his chair, trying so hard to hide the evidence of the number my performance was doing on his imagination. I felt so wonderfully wicked. The more he shifted, the more enthusiasm I put into my little performance, which, by the way, I feel was an Emmy- worthy performance. If nothing else, for the fact that I had been able to keep a straight face the entire time. That alone had to be Emmy material! I wish I had been able to get a good look at his face, but I was enjoying the whole act too much to want it to end so soon - as it surely would the second I saw his expression...or perhaps the second he knew that *I* knew just what it was doing to him. Okay, so I was being mean - teasing him like that. But, to be honest, God, was it worth it! I wait until I'm sure he is well out of earshot before erupting into a fit of laughter. I don't know if I'm going to be able to wipe this stupid grin off my face by the time Doggett gets back, but I'm not sure if I care! Part of me wants to stop here and pretend that this little incident never happened. Let him regain his dignity and all that. But the little devil in me has other ideas... ****** DOGGETT After ten minutes of splashing cold water on my face and forcing my mind to recall some of the most gruesome crime scene photos I had ever seen in my days with the NYPD in an attempt to erase the image of Scully's lips and tongue playing with that damn popsicle, I am reasonably certain that I have gotten my body back under control. I grab a cup of coffee from the cafeteria on my way back anyway. I take a deep breath before going back into the office. I am relieved to note that the popsicle has disappeared and she is back to her usual professional self - rearranging files in the file cabinets. I sit at my desk and lean back, coffee cup in hand, debating the best way to word the next part of the report I had been writing before Scully had walked into the room. "...You shouldn't just leave it sticking up like that..." I nearly jump right out of my skin. The cup slips out of my fingers, spilling hot coffee in my lap. "Aah shit," I yell, springing out of my seat and wiping ineffectually at the mess. "Agent Doggett," Scully exclaims. I look up to see her staring at me with an expression that conveys shock, question and confusion all at once. She quickly moves to her desk and pulls a half-used roll of paper towels out of the drawer. I open my mouth to ask her exactly why on *Earth* she would have those in her desk, but decide against it. /She's a woman. Women always keep a lot of weird shit in their purse. You're better off just not asking about it./ Within seconds she is standing in front of me, dabbing a wad of paper towels against my thighs. "Agent Scully, that's really not neces-" She shoots me a look that halts me mid-objection. "You might have burned yourself," she murmurs. She bends slightly at the waist, her head tilted downwards so she is better able to see what she is doing. All I can think of is that if she doesn't stop touching me soon, I may need to take another trip to the bathroom. Then she sighs and drops to her knees in front of me, frowning as she continues wiping at the stain. My entire body has turned rigid, paralyzed with fear. God, as if the popsicle thing weren't bad enough, now she's *kneeling* in front of me - her face just inches from my groin - and touching my thighs! It doesn't matter that it is just a gesture of concern on her part - as a doctor and as my partner. My body doesn't know the difference. I can feel myself beginning to respond once again. I'm not normally a very religious man, but at the moment, I find myself praying to every God I can think of. /*Please* help me get through the rest of the day! I don't think I can take any more of this!/ ******** SCULLY /Seriously Dana, he'll be back any minute! Get a grip!/ Obviously my "logical" side was kicking in...I had the sense that there were two distinct halves of my conscience arguing the issue - like the old "devil on one shoulder and angel on the other" cliché. I just sat back and let them fight it out. /Are you happy now?/ /Quite! Did you see the way he ran out of here? If only I'd seen his face, his expression must have been priceless!/ /Can you knock it off and start acting like an adult again?/ /Oh, shut up! You never let me do anything!/ /That's because I know better./ /Oh, come on! What's wrong with having a little fun?/ /Nothing. But how do you think it's going to look if you're flirting with your partner?/ Well...it was fun while it lasted... I attempt to distract myself by organizing the file cabinet. It works. By the time Agent Doggett returns it's as if nothing ever happened. I try to pull out the next drawer and sigh when it gets stuck halfway open. Knowing the way Doggett puts files away... I lean over and squint into the drawer. Sure enough, there is a haphazardly-filed folder stuck in the underside of the cabinet. "Y'know, you shouldn't just leave it sticking up like that," I mutter, mostly to myself since this lecture has never succeeded in changing his behavior in the past. I hear a cough from behind me. "Aah shit!" I spin around to see Doggett standing by his desk, wiping hot coffee from his pants. What the heck happened? "Agent Doggett," I ask, confused. My tone is a little more accusing than I would like. He looks up at me guiltily, like a little boy that knows he's done something wrong, but doesn't know what that something is. I retrieve the roll of paper towels from my desk. I can't even remember why I keep these here, but they certainly came in handy earlier when my popsicle was melting all over my desk. I move to stand in front of him quickly, tearing several pieces off of the roll and try to help mop up the worst of the spill. "Agent Scully, that's really not neces-" I give him a look that says I won't take no for an answer, halting his protest. "You might have burned yourself," I explain. Since when is he this clumsy? I do a mental rewind of the last few minutes. What was it I had said before this happened? I have to call upon every ounce of self-restraint that I posses to avoid smiling maniacally as the answer clicks into place in my mind. /You shouldn't just leave it sticking up like that.../ The little devil cackles uproariously at the unintentional innuendo. I notice how tense the muscles have become under the hand I have braced against Doggett's arm. He is standing rigidly in front of me. Suddenly, I realize how intimate this gesture is; I'm standing well inside his personal space, and touching him in a rather personal area... I don't dare look up into his eyes, but I just *know* that if I did, I would see fear. He's afraid I will know just what this is doing to him. /Just hand him the paper towels and back off Dana!/ I imagine that the little devil is blowing a raspberry at the little angel as I drop to my knees in front of Doggett and begin scrubbing at the stain in earnest. ********* DOGGETT I stand quietly, waging an internal war between my body and my common sense, for what feels like an eternity as Scully dabs at the spill. I nearly scream when her hand accidentally brushes against the zipper of my slacks. /She's a doctor for God's sake, she *must* know what this is doing to me. The bulge must be noticeable by now.../ Suddenly the thought occurs to me that maybe she *does* know exactly what she was doing. Maybe she was playing some sort of game whose rules I did not quite understand. Maybe she was trying to seduce me... I almost laughed at the ridiculousness of that idea. "Is this making you hot?" I feel myself go pale, my breath nearly strangling in my throat. "What?" She glances up at my face, and I'd almost swear I can see a mischievous sparkle in her eyes. "I said that coffee was hot...you could have burned yourself." I breathe a sigh of relief as she stands up. I finally allow my body to relax. She walks to the office door and shuts it, then clicks the lock into place. I feel a queasy apprehension building in my stomach, forming a heavy knot of growing fear. She walks back and, without any explanation or warning, starts removing my belt. I jump away from her as if stuck with a cattle prod, barely able to contain a startled cry. She puts her hands on her hips, giving me her trademark look of impatience, one eyebrow raised as if to ask "what the hell is wrong now?" "Agent Doggett, I need to see how much damage you've done. Now either you let me look, or I'm taking you to a hospital. Which is it going to be?" My mouth opens and closes stupidly, nothing but pathetic squeaks and panicked puffs of air emerging. She sighs. "I'm a doctor Agent Doggett. I also grew up with two brothers. I'm sure you don't have anything I've never seen before. And it's not like I'm asking you to strip, bend over and grab your ankles here, I just want to see if you've burned yourself, okay?" I can feel a blush creep into my face. Dear God, if I survive this it will be a miracle. ********* SCULLY I risk a glance at Doggett's face while I dab at his pants. His eyes are tightly shut and his face is twisted into an expression of pain. I know better though. I deliberately take a too-wide sweep that brings me into contact with the warm bulge in the front of his slacks. He jumps slightly, clenching his hands in an attempt to hide their trembling from me. A wicked idea begins forming in my mind and I cannot resist the temptation to tease him a little further. I lower my head and murmur the words loud enough for him to hear, but soft enough for him to wonder if he heard them right. "Is this making you hot?" I hear a gasp and a choked breath before he asks, "What?" I blink up at him, trying as hard as I can to look innocent. "I said that coffee was hot...you could have burned yourself." I see a look of relief spread across his face and he lets out a shaky breath as I stand up. I try not to smile as I cross to the office door. /We can't have anybody walking in unannounced,/ I think evilly. I shut and lock it before I stride purposefully back to him and reach for his belt. He jumps further this time then when he spilled the coffee in his lap, a muffled shriek escaping his throat. I stifle the urge to laugh. Instead I put my hands on my hips, set my mouth in a firm line and raise an eyebrow at him. It is my standard "don't even *try* to argue with me, buddy" pose. "Agent Doggett, I need to see how much damage you've done. Now either you let me look, or I'm taking you to a hospital. Which is it going to be?" His mouth opens and closes silently, panicked eyes darting around the room. "I'm a doctor Agent Doggett. I also grew up with two brothers. I'm sure you don't have anything I've never seen before. And it's not like I'm asking you to strip, bend over and grab your ankles here, I just want to see if you've burned yourself, okay?" He looks so adorable when he blushes like that... I move forward again and take his belt firmly in my hands. He flinches, his eyes refusing to meet mine. I make quick work of his pants, letting them fall around his ankles unceremoniously. /That's an interesting shade of red,/ I think absently as I watch his blush deepen. I resume my position kneeling in front of him. I stroke my hand lightly over the damp skin where the coffee had spilled. I can't help but notice the way the tight muscles under my fingers tremble at my touch. The feeling of wetness that has been spreading between my legs since I caught him watching me eat my popsicle increases, hitching my desire up to unbearable levels. I'm not sure if *I* can take much more of this teasing. /Fuck it,/ I think as I let my hand sweep wider, crawling steadily underneath the left leg of his boxers. He squirms under my hands. "Agent Scully...please...that's enough..." Poor baby. I'm really making him suffer here, aren't I? "Sit down Agent Doggett," I say in my best commanding voice. He gives me a startled look. He looks so much like a whipped puppy that I can almost imagine that if he had a tail it would be drooping between his legs now. He obediently sits back down in his chair, eyeing me warily. "Close your eyes." Now he's really fidgeting. "Agent Scully, I -" "Do it!" I am practically shouting now. He gives a slight whimper before he catches himself, clamping his mouth tightly shut and closing his eyes. I reach for the top drawer of his desk. I know that is where I'll find them... ******* DOGGETT Oh, God, what the hell is going on? I'm not sure what to expect of Scully's behavior and I'm not sure if I want to know. All I can do is obey her commands at the moment. Scully draws my arms behind my chair. I nearly jump right out of my skin when I hear the sound of handcuffs clicking shut and feel the cold metal circling my wrists. My eyes fly open. "What the hell are you doing?" I find it impossible to keep my voice from raising in volume as my panic level increases. "Quiet," she murmurs. She stands in front of me again and fixes me with a fiery blue stare. "I've had enough beating around the bush here, haven't you?" I stare at her stupidly. "What?" She sighs. "Obviously subtlety is lost on you..." And with that she reaches down and latches on to the front of my boxers. I try to squirm away from her, but with my arms cuffed behind the chair, I don't have anywhere to escape to. Which seems to be exactly what she was hoping to accomplish. "Agent Scully..." Her hand squeezes me gently, momentarily cutting off my breath. "Agent Scully, STOP!" She raises an eyebrow at me again. "Are you sure you really want me to do that?" She pauses, leaning closer to me until her lips are almost brushing against my ear. "John," she breaths, making my whole body shiver. She leans back, studying my face. "Answer me, John." "I..." I groan in frustration. How did I get here? How did this happen? "I can't..." She squeezes me again and my eyes close as my mind scrambles to function despite the fact that the blood needed to operate my brain is currently traveling south. "Yes?" She coaxes me, never letting up on her grip. I swallow nervously before finally pushing out the words. "We can't do this." She gives me an exaggerated pout. "And why not?" Her hand loosens and she starts gently tracing the contours between my legs with her fingernails. I was right after all; she *was* trying to seduce me. I can't decide whether that idea should make me happy or scare the living piss out of me. "It's against re..." /Breathe, John, breathe!/ "Regulations." She smiles at me bewitchingly. She leans in until her mouth is brushing my ear again and whispers "The FBI doesn't have to know." I am panting now, trying to focus around the red haze she is creating in my mind. "Too risky..." "Shh," she breathes into my ear. Then she takes my earlobe into her mouth, rolling it gently between her teeth while her tongue flicks the tip. I am unable to prevent myself from whimpering. Seconds later she is straddling my lap, facing me, her slight weight resting on my thighs. She stares at my mouth as she traces one finger over my parted lips. The corner of her mouth curls upward before she pulls her body into mine, settling her center over my straining erection. I gasp. Even through our clothes I can feel the heat emanating from her core. I let my head fall back, my eyes slamming shut. "Can you feel that, Agent Doggett?" I am fairly certain that I am no longer capable of speech, so I just nod. "Did it ever occur to you that I might want this just as much as you do?" "Ahh..." Yup. She has rendered me officially inarticulate. Then her mouth is crushing mine and I am no longer capable of thought either. ******** SCULLY The way Doggett reacted to the handcuffs I was afraid he would have a heart attack. He was trapped. At my mercy. That thought made a delicious shiver run up my spine. It wasn't as difficult to seduce him as I thought it would be. Then again, it never really is difficult to seduce a man, is it? I can feel the throbbing heat of him against me and it makes me giddy with equal amounts of power and pleasure. *I* did this to him. *I* am the one he has relinquished control to, allowing him to unleash the feelings I know he's harbored for me for a long time. And God, what a kiss! I plunge my tongue deep into his mouth. He sits passively, resigned to let me do with him whatever I please. My hand comes up to grip the back of his neck, pulling him closer. He returns the kiss happily, but also a bit cautiously. He is stunned, I suppose. I rock my hips against his, grinding my pelvis into the thick muscles and heated flesh underneath me. He groans into my mouth. I thrust against him firmly and he tilts his head back, breaking the kiss, as he cries out. I massage the back of his neck gently and coo to him sweetly as I repeat the motion. "Did that feel good?" "Ungh..." Obviously, his speech centers are not working at one hundred percent power at the moment. He has been reduced to monosyllables at best, but the few words he manages are mostly incoherent. He communicates now primarily with primitive noises. I begin a steady rhythm of thrusts that mimic sex. I am rewarded with a continuous moan of pleasure from him. I watch his face the entire time, mesmerized. He looks so much younger now. His cheeks are flushed, his lips still wet from our kiss. His face utterly relaxed in ecstasy. He is beautiful. I just know I will never tire of seeing him like this. I lean forward again to kiss him. His forehead, his temples, his eyelids, his cheeks, his chin...anywhere and everywhere that I can reach without interrupting the steady thrusts of my hips. I hear his breath catch in his throat, followed by a soft whimper. "Dana..." "Hmmm?" I don't pause in my attentions. I merely hum into his skin. He takes several deep breaths before he surfaces through the fog long enough to speak. "You have to stop," he pants. No. After all of this, he's still pushing me away? I can't help but feel wounded by his stubborn rejection. I open my mouth, intending to let him know exactly where he can shove it, but he continues. "We can't do this here." A wave of relief washes through me. He's not rejecting me. He's just opposed to my sense of timing and place. But somehow the idea of doing this right under the FBI's nose, so to speak, is an incredible turn-on for me. "Stop worrying, John. Nobody will know," I whisper in my best sultry voice. "Stains, Dana. On you, on me, on this chair..." I cut him off by pressing one finger to his lips. I indicate the abandoned roll of paper towels on his desk wordlessly. He stares at it. I can almost see his resolve falter for a moment before he recovers and turns back to face me. "But..." This time I cut him off by pressing my mouth to his. But this time I can feel resistance. I can hear the handcuffs rattle behind him as he struggles. I break the kiss with a resigned sigh. Time to try a different tactic. "But what," I ask as I give one more thrust of my hips into his - stronger this time than before. He gasps, his back arching, his eyes losing focus. But it doesn't last long. He's too damn stubborn to let me win this argument. With his head thrown back and his eyes closed he responds brokenly amid panting breaths. "I don't want...I can't..." He whimpers in frustration. I stroke his hair encouragingly. "You don't want what?" "Not like this. Jesus..." He takes a deep breath, screwing up his courage. "I don't want it to be like this. Not the first time. Not here." The first time? I feel a ridiculous smile threaten to spread across my face. Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic, but my heart soars with the knowledge that he wants this to be more than just a one-shot deal. "How do you want it to be," I ask curiously. "Slow. Gentle. In a bed. Jesus...I wanna make love to you all Goddamn night!" I sense a shift in me - from feral tiger to docile kitten. I wrap my arms around Doggett, burying my face in his neck. God...I want that too! I feel my womb contract as the images flash across my mind. His beautiful, naked body hovering over me, inside me. Thrusting steadily as his big hands roam over my skin, their gentleness belying their strength. His eyes lock onto mine, his piercing stare seeming to strip away all barriers, baring my soul to him. I shiver. "Dana?" He sounds confused at my sudden change of attitude. I hear the rattle of handcuffs as Doggett shifts his weight beneath me. I lean back to look into his eyes, seeing his confusion grow at tears I can feel forming in my own. "What's wrong? What did I say?" There is such a pained expression in his eyes... I know I'm worrying him. He probably thinks he's done something wrong. I avert my eyes from him, staring at a random spot on the wall as I brush delicately at the moisture, trying not to do too much damage to my makeup (not that I honestly wear *that* much of it, but even a little mascara can still make a horrible mess). "Dana," he pleads. "Talk to me." I shake my head, my gaze meeting his again. I take a deep breath, blowing it out through my mouth. Then I smile at him and I feel him relax. I can still see the questions hovering in his eyes that he is afraid to ask. I stroke my fingers lightly over his temples and then brush them through his short hair. "Did I say something wrong," he finally asks. I shake my head, prompting him to release the breath he had no doubt been holding. "No, John, you didn't say anything wrong. In fact, you said everything *right*. I just...it was a little unexpected..." He gives me a wry smile. "I would think you would have learned to expect the unexpected a long time ago working on the X-Files." My smile widens. I lean into him again, kissing him sweetly this time - lovingly. Love. My brain puzzles over that word. Is that what this is? Am I in love with Agent Doggett? My actions seem to be textbook examples of giving in to lustful desires, but what if they were part of something deeper, something more profound and intense? It was not something I had considered when I started this whole charade, but maybe, on a subconscious level, it had been my ultimate goal. "I'm gonna hold you to that promise," I murmur between kisses. I feel him smile against my lips. I break the kiss finally to rest my head on his shoulder, my breath stirring the fine hairs on his neck. I wrap my arms around him securely, curling into his warmth, content to stay there as long as possible. After only a minute, he starts shifting in the chair again. "Dana?" I can feel his chest rumble against me. That combined with his soft, raspy voice makes me sigh pleasurably. I could get used to this... "Hmm?" "Can you take off the handcuffs now?"
