Scully put a Boyz II Men CD into her stereo as Doggett started to mix the ingredients for 
her birthday cake.  Soon the music filled her apartment as she rejoined Doggett in the 
kitchen.
 
Doggett smeared flour on the tip of Scully's nose.
 
"JOHN!"  Scully protested even as she began laughing.  Doggett pretended to look 
innocent but only until Scully put flour in his hair.
 
"You little..." Doggett chased her around the kitchen table, catching her just as she set 
foot in the living room. 
 
"Gotcha!"  Doggett tackled her to the floor as Scully squealed.
 
 He cursed as his elbow grazed the coffee table. Scully immediately stopped wiggling 
underneath him when she realized he had re-hurt himself. She kissed his bruised elbow.
 
"Dana.." Doggett whispered her name hoarsely as a shiver went through them. He 
captured her lips with his. Scully whimpered as she ran her hands underneath his shirt. 
 
Doggett was dimly aware of the CD track changing to "I'll Make Love to you". His 
senses were being overloaded with her taste and her touch.
 
Scully allowed a small smile to touch her lips as she murmured, "It's alright, John." 
 
That only made him shiver harder. His hands brought hers to the buttons on his shirt.
 
"Please," he whispered hoarsely. 
 
Scully pressed another soft kiss to his lips as she began undoing buttons.
 
Doggett paused only long enough to throw a blanket onto the living room rug. He 
couldn't see Scully wanting to get rug burn. He know he didn't. 
 
"I'll keep you warm," Doggett whispered when he felt Scully shiver.
 
"Promise?" Scully whispered.
 
"Promise," Doggett told her before turning his attention to her stomach.
 
"John..." she moaned. 
 
"I've got you, sweetheart," Doggett murmured. A groan escaped his lips as he darted his 
tongue into her bellybutton. His hands traveled down to the waistband of her jeans. 
 
Scully whimpered against as she arched her hips. Doggett kissed the skin that was 
exposed as he pulled her jeans down her legs. Her panties soon followed. Scully smiled 
teasingly. "One of us is still overdressed." 
 
Doggett grinned in a shy way as he began to remove his own shirt, jeans, and underwear. 
He groaned when his skin met hers. He didn't want to wait. He couldn't wait.  The need 
to be with her was just too much.
 
 "Do I need anything?" Doggett paused between her legs, suddenly coming down. 
 
"No," Scully said softly, with a slightly wry smile she added, "It's not like I can get 
pregnant, right?" Angry tears welled up in her eyes. 
 
Doggett kissed away the few stray tears that escaped Scully's eyelids. 
 
"I still love you," he whispered in her ear. 
 
"Make love to me. Please," Scully pleaded. 
 
Doggett kissed her one final time before he pushed into her. Scully gasped momentary 
pain. She gripped his shoulders. 
 
"Sorry," Doggett whispered. He kissed her forehead. 
 
"Just hurt for a second," Scully whispered back. She wrapped her legs around him, 
needing to get as close as she could to him. 
 
"God, Dana.." Doggett shuddered again. He closed his eyes as he started moving.
 
"Open...your eyes," Scully managed to get out between pants.
 
"Can't." Doggett whispered. A shudder ran through him. 
 
Scully kissed him gently. "Yes you can." Her fingers tilted his chin up as she moaned 
again. "Look at me," she whispered.
Doggett's eyes slowly opened, seeing the same love and desire mirrored in her eyes. Her 
arms went around his neck. 
 
"More..." she pleaded. 
 
"Dana.." Doggett said her name hoarsely. The sheer need to be completely one with her 
drove him on. He plunged deeper and faster into her.
 
Scully's moans graduated to screams of pleasure as she could feel herself getting closer. 
Feeling her reactions as well as hearing them drove Doggett to the edge. He refused, 
however, to let go until Scully wanted him to. 
 
Scully came, loud and long. She was puzzled though, when Doggett didn't follow. 
 
"That was for you," he whispered.
 
Scully refused to take that as an answer- she nudged him onto his back, earning a chuckle 
from Doggett. 
 
"And what are we up to, Miss Scully?" He soon groaned when Scully began to pay 
special attention to his chest. She nibbled and tasted her way down as she began moving 
on top of him again. 
 
"Come with me," Doggett pleaded in a whisper. He could fee she was ready to come 
again, but was trying to hold herself back. Despite her best efforts, Scully couldn't hold 
back. She half-moaned half-sobbed his name. 
 
"Sssh. It's alright."  Doggett gently kissed her skin again as he felt her come around him. 
He emitted a half growl half sob of his own as he came himself. Scully reached up to pull 
down an afghan on top of them. She closed her eyes as she listened to Doggett's 
quivering breathing. 
 
 "The cake can wait a bit longer, can't it?" Scully didn't want to move. 
 
Doggett kissed the top of her head.  "I don't want to move either, sweetheart. " He closed 
his eyes as his breathing began to calm. "I want to stay like this forever."
 
Scully caressed him softly as they both fell into a contented sleep.
