Best Kiss:
"I'm sorry. I
shouldn't have come," I mutter to him weakly. He's still dressed in his
work suit as well. White shirt, dark tie. Immaculate as ever. And the expression
on his face would make many a grown man quake. I watch him slam the door shut
behind me, and I flinch. He advances on me, his eyes dark, and I back away from
him, nervously. Then, without any warning, I find myself pinned against the
wall, his arm across my chest, his hand in my hair as he kisses me savagely. My
nervous terror evaporates, and with it goes all the strength in my legs.
Luckily, he's holding me up. I dangle there for a second, his mouth pressed
urgently against mine, sucking all the life out of me, his tongue thrusting into
me passionately. "Hello, Mulder. Nice to see you, Mulder," I murmur
pointedly when he lets me draw breath."
