INTERLUDE WITH A VAMPIRE (NC-17) An X-Files Story by Jennifer Lyon Jenni10647@aol.com JennyAnn@ix.netcom.com Disclaimer: The X-Files, Mulder, and Scully, are the property of Chris Carter, FOX network, and 1013 Productions. The rest of the story is mine, including the character of Jason. This story takes place *immediately* after the end of my previous story "Vampire's Kiss" and is seriously NC-17 - in fact, that's all it is! So be warned - if you are under 18, or don't like reading lovingly portrayed adult sex - pass on this one. Otherwise, relax and enjoy! Dana's bright blue eyes twinkled as she tugged on both of their hands. They moved with her, one tall and dark, the other slight and fair, shoulder's nearly touching, just a bare inch of air separating them. Yet, that thin sliver of space between them was the one thing she knew she still had to fight, this night - the one thing that could split them asunder. Her skin was tingling, her stomach doing somersaults as she dared to confront the maelstrom of emotions that bound them all together. The back of her knees hit the edge of the sofabed, and dropping their hands, she reached up to gently stroke their faces. Beneath the fingers of her right hand, Mulder's skin was satin- sheathed warmth, radiating waves of heat, while his hazel eyes burned into hers. Jason's skin was cool porcelain, and only the slightest tinge of red in the soft gray-green of his eyes betrayed the desire raging within. She traced the lines of each jaw with sensitive fingertips, slowly letting her gaze move from one man's face to the other. Until Mulder seized her hand in his. "Scully?" His voice, his posture, his expression were all united in a single question. She answered with a smile, the corners of her mouth leisurely tilting upwards. Characteristically, Jason remained silent, watching, listening, absorbing, with the endless patience of one who has seen centuries pass and knows he has centuries still ahead. More impatient, his curiosity and desire warring with uncertainty and fear, Mulder opened his mouth to speak, even though he didn't know himself what words he might choose. But Scully stopped him with the swift pressure of her fingers against his mouth, then a sudden tug on his tie. He gasped against her palm, then drew in a sharp breath as she silenced him with a kiss. His heart pounding, senses reeling, he sank into the warmth of her mouth, savoring the sweet, musky taste of her lips and teeth and tongue. Scully weaved her hand into the silken locks of his hair, taking all he was willing to give. Then guiding his mouth along her jaw and down into the curve of her neck, she stretched out her free hand to Jason. His eyes clouded for a moment, hesitating... ready to fly... but she refused to let him go. Taking hold of his arm, she pulled him closer, her eyes pinning his. Like a moth to the flame, he moved in closer, then bent his head the short distance towards hers. And fire lit its way across her belly, as his lips claimed hers. This kiss was a thousand times more sweet than the brief one shared previously, untainted by guilt or recriminations. She gloried in the pleasure of his touch, an electric tingle on the tip of her tongue as it traced its way down the length of her body until it pooled in her groin. Swaying against Mulder, she leaned into the support Jason offered as he curved a hand around her waist and drew her closer. Then his mouth was trailing along the left side of her jaw and down into the hollow between her shoulder and chin. Angling her head to the other side, she offered Jason full access, while simultaneously claiming Mulder's mouth again. He pressed in closer to her, his arms reaching out to encircle her waist. She twisted around so that she was between them, facing Mulder, back to Jason. Their arms locked around her, twining with each other, then pulling away from the contact. "Nooo," she murmured against Mulder's mouth, reaching down to try to press their arms together. "Dana?" Again it was Mulder who questioned her verbally. "Are you sure...I mean....this is crazy..." his voice trailed off. "Why?" she asked, her hands holding tight to his arms, while she leaned back into Jason's embrace. "Why is this crazy." "Because...because..." Mulder spluttered and stopped, his eyes wide as he studied her flushed, glowing face. Her eyes were bright sapphires, glinting with an internal light. He could lose himself in those eyes... "Don't run away from this, Mulder," she replied. "We've been tiptoeing around our feelings, trying to ignore the feelings we both have for Jason, that he has for us. Love - happiness - is too rare a commodity to waste. Be with us tonight, Mulder... please..." She couldn't see Jason's face, but he had not released his hold on her. She somehow *knew* that it was Mulder's decision that would decide for Jason. She knew the vampire's feelings for Mulder were stronger than his for her - but she could accept that - because she knew that she felt the same. Above all, it was their mutual love for Mulder that tied her and Jason together. And somehow that was the strongest bond of all. Mulder found himself looking from the fire-framed face of the woman he loved to the golden-haired man standing behind her. Jason - again as still as a marble statue, his unlined features hardly hinting at the age of the soul within. A soul that called out to Mulder in a way few had ever done. It was more than fascination, or the memory of the pleasure of the vampire's kiss, it was a bone-deep understanding - a communion he had only felt with one other... the woman standing between them. Bridging them... And with a characteristic leap of faith, Mulder, finally, simply accepted. His face remaining solemn, he stepped in closer to Scully, then reached out his long arms to draw them both into an embrace. He tilted his head towards hers, but she was already on her tiptoes, meeting his descending mouth with hers. An inarticulate sigh was swallowed into his throat, while she slumped into their embrace. She rested her head back against Jason's shoulder, tilted slightly inwards, so that she could take a kiss from one and then the other, again and again... Closing her eyes, she could identify which mouth she was tasting, one hot and sweet - demanding - the other cool and musky - explorative. Fingers trailing down the curves of her body were less easy to distinguish, but she hardly cared. It mattered not which hand was cupping the swell of her breast, or which was tracing the length of her sides, or curled around her buttocks. All that mattered were the sensations that tingled and grew, arching from nerve to nerve until she felt like she would scream from the heady mixture of satisfaction and frustration. She ached to feel those loving, probing fingers on bare flesh, the presence of her clothes and theirs forming an unwanted barrier. Once again, she chose to take the lead, removing hands from Mulder's spine and Jason's thigh, to struggle with the buttons of her shirt. Her action did not go unnoticed, and while their tongues teased her jaw and throat, their fingers joined hers. Sighing, she let her hands fall to her sides, letting them take control. Each moment seemed too long, but finally she felt the whisper of cold air across her bare shoulders and chest. Her shirt and bra went quickly, the pants were more of a challenge, but she had two pairs of shoulders to support her, and they shared the task between, each giving a hand to hold her up, each contributing a hand to strip the offending material from her body. With easy mutuality, they set her feet back down on the floor, then began to explore her naked body with tender hands and sensitive fingers. Dana arched her back, a long, whistling sigh escaping her ripened lips as she felt each touch burn is way into her skin. She felt like she was melting in a furnace of need so intense it stripped away everything but the desire to touch and be touched. Hands moved over breast, and hips, belly and thighs, shoulders and spine. Shocks ran from the base of her neck to tips of her toes. A finger lazily ran in circles around the edges of a rock-solid nipple, while another teased the inside of her thighs. Up and down, around and around, until she moaned, twisting first one way and then another. And finally the response she craved, a palm rubbing hard against the sensitive point, then fingers squeezing claiming, tugging. Then another palm cupping against the center of her heat, fingers stroking though damp auburn curls, then lower and lower still. Another slid downward from behind, until they met in a steady rhythm between her legs. "Pleeaase...oh God... Pleeaase," she couldn't quite believe the nearly tortured voice was her own, its timber rising and falling with the strokes of those merciless fingers. A mouth clamped down on hers hard, suckling on her offered tongue even as one finger found the hard swollen spot at the center of her desire and another plunged deeper within. Her cries were lost in that kiss, and she gave them up willingly, as her body convulsed in a series of tremors, then slumped down. Her legs clamped together, tightening on the hands pressed within, and she was hardly willing to let go. But, ever so slowly, she relaxed again, coming to awareness, only to feel a series of butterfly kisses pressed along every inch of her face. Then a sudden change of position, leaving her gasping in surprise. Jason sank to a kneeling position on the floor, then Mulder lowered Scully against him, her feet, unable to support her, slid down and sideways, until she found herself draped over Jason's body, her ass supported by his upper thighs and groin. Mulder fell to his knees in front of her, then bent downwards so that his mouth could find her breasts. Her fingers tangled into his hair as she guided him from one rosy tip to the other, bracing against Jason, who supported her firmly, his hands splayed across her hips. Then they, too, began to move, and she spread her knees wide to give him easy access. She gave herself up to their loving attention, floating on a sea of gentle sensation. Until Mulder's mouth drifted downwards while Jason's delicate fingers flowed upwards. Her hips bucked in response as she felt the moist heat of Mulder's breath against the most sensitive part of her aroused body. She tugged shamelessly at the back of his head, fingers knotted into his hair, eliciting a light chuckle before he joyfully acceded to her demands. Instant liquid flowed from her, as she melted in response to the urgent demands of his lips and tongue. He bit at a soft fold of flesh, then suckled, then nibbled again. Every sensation grew on the one before, until her hips were rocking against his mouth in a steady age-old rhythm, fire licking at the very insides of her belly, sending shockwaves upwards and outwards, only to concentrate and flow back downwards towards the aching center of her being. Jason cradled her, as she twisted in ecstasy, caressing the soft flesh of her breasts, sweeping the hair off her cheeks and forehead, licking the salt from her skin. As Mulder's tongue probed more deeply into her than she would have thought possible, the vampire's teeth nibbled at the side of her throat. Instinctively, her head eased to the side, allowing him better access, a small corner of her barely conscious mind, seeking the thrill of his bite. But though he nibbled, the sharp edges of his now-protruding fangs grazing the scented skin, he was didn't, yet, break through to the vein that pulsed vibrantly below the surface. Scully moaned, her free hand urging him on, but Jason refused gently, turning his head to take her fingers into his mouth. He flicked at the sensitive pads with his tongue, then let her feel her way, tracing his tongue and teeth. Rubbing one finger over the tip of a fang, she cried out as it pricked through the skin. Blood welled instantly, causing Jason to clamp his lips shut and swallow convulsively. In response, a new source of pleasure arced its way through her already over-loaded senses, and she screamed aloud, her mind tumbling over the edge and into an ocean of sensation so intense that all knowledge of self and time and space was lost. Her body jerked, then collapsed, her head lolled over to the side awkwardly, her eyes open - but unfocused. Mulder rode her orgasm, her thighs squeezing in on him and then releasing. Holding her hips, he drew in the smell and taste of her, reveling in her trust and intimacy. Then he lifted himself reluctantly away. Jason drew the sweet, precious drops of blood down his throat, savoring each trickle, desperately suckling for more. But it was too frustratingly slow - too small a taste. His eyes flared a brilliant red as he released her hand and aimed his fangs for the so-close hollow of her neck. But before his teeth could sink into the glory of her flesh, his eyes collided with Mulder's. The contact was instant and forceful, both men freezing as their gazes locked and held. Neither was quite willing to be the one to break the connection, nor to be the one to go beyond it. Dana stirred, moaning softly, and that interruption was enough to destroy the moment. Both were instantly concerned with her, and they gently lifted her up and laid her out upon the bed. She murmured lazily, smiling warmly, reaching out to pull them closer. Mulder kissed her mouth, her nose, her eyebrows, then tenderly lifted the bangs off her forehead. Jason stretched out on the other side, resting his head on one hand, the other splaying out across the smooth expanse of her stomach. She wriggled, then focused her eyes on Mulder, mouth widening into an engaging grin. He was definitely far too dressed, and she told him so, her voice lilting with humor. His eyes twinkled as he kissed her in response, then shrugged his jacket off his shoulders. He settled back into a sitting position beside her, and she wasted no time in getting up to help toss the suit coat aside. While his fingers tugged at his tie, she worked on the buttons of his shirt. After he had dumped the tie, she grabbed hold of the open edges of his shirt and pulled him over onto her. He laughed, "Dana!" and rolled over onto his back, bringing her with him. She slid off to the far side, then beckoned Jason with a glance. The vampire was far more diffident when it came to removing Mulder's clothes, though he helped with trembling fingers. Dana smiled to herself as she watched Jason trail a hesitant touch across Mulder's abdomen, then down across his hips. Reaching over, she closed a hand over Jason's, then pressed it down hard against Mulder's skin. Eyes dancing, she led him in a slow caress, then released him to attend to Mulder's shoes and socks. Finally, she got rid of the remainder of his clothes, and set about the task of rediscovering the familiar planes of his body. Mulder abandoned himself to her lovemaking, letting the desire and love he felt for her wash over him in waves of tingling heat. He, almost, could ignore the extra touches, the oddly powerful sensation of having the wet heat of two mouths lingering on his chest instead of one. His eyes closed shut, and his hips arched upwards, seeking - seeking, more and more. They gave it to him willingly, and in time, the soft flush of embarrassment at Jason's involvement gave way to an urgent flood of pleasure and growing need. A short eternity later, his body about to explode, Mulder reached for her, his shuttered eyes focusing blurrily on the red halo of her hair. He pulled her up across him, fingers digging hard into her shoulders, but the pain was almost a joy. She sighed as she lay sprawled across his chest, her mouth only inches from his. She took a moment to enjoy the sight of his face, the glittering dark eyes, the full-lipped, generous mouth, the skin stretched taught over perfect bones. And that slightly protruding lower lip, which was now trembling. She attacked it with her tongue, then seized it with her teeth, eliciting a groan from deep within his throat. They kissed long and deep, then he lifted a knee and pushed her down. Settling down into the mattress with a sigh, almost of relief, she welcomed the weight of his body on hers. Her kegs spread wide, her hips pressing upwards, inviting... And he was more than ready to sink into the promised acceptance of her body. A long, rasping growl pushed itself past his gritted teeth as he felt her close upon him, and the clasp of her legs around his back mixed easily with the presence of four hands along his spine and hot breath against the nape of his neck. The kneading of the muscles of his back and shoulders melded into the rich assortment of sensation, as he rocked his hips against hers, feeling her sheath him in the moist furnace of her body. Nothing, ever would compete with that feeling of completeness which came from having the man she loved held deeply within her. She sought each thrust eagerly, seeking to bring him closer, deeper... joining their bodies into one. Jason's presence was hardly noticed, even as she returned the passion of his kiss, twining her tongue with his. Jason trailed kisses over her face, and then upwards over Mulder's shoulder. His own body fed on the heat of theirs, and his teeth ached painfully. At last unable to withstand the firestorm of desire raging in his veins, he plunged his fangs into Mulder's neck. Blood gushed over the sleek enamel, then across his tongue and down his throat. Sweet, thick, dusky, scented with the unique identity of the man it came from, Mulder's life-fluid gave Jason life, and more. For more than simple satisfaction of the blood-craving, this gift brought communion and a touch of that rarest, most sought-after of all emotions - love. Mulder was caught in a whirlwind, his body acting on instinct, his mind floating. Scully seemed to surround him, succor him, raise him up on a rush of wind. Exhilaration pounded at his senses, even as he faintly registered the shock of Jason's bite. The following rush of ecstasy only made the joining with her sweeter, adding an edge to his need and a bite to his satisfaction. Stroke, stroke, stroke, he slid into her again and again, until the caress of her hand between their bodies and the gentle, insistent suckling on his neck sent him crashing, tumbling, falling... through fire and into an inviting darkness. Her cries mixing with his, Scully felt his orgasm as her own, then tumbled with her lover, joined body and soul, even as Jason claimed her neck, sinking teeth stained red with Mulder's blood deep beneath her skin. Mixed in the vampire's veins, their blood pooled and swirled, then combined in a single red flood of utter satisfaction. Even before the dawn claimed him into its death-like embrace, Jason was able to stop. To heal the wounds in their throats, to tenderly settle the covers over their entwined bodies, to press one last kiss against each cheek. Then finally, as he felt the first few rays of sunlight peek up over the horizon, he curled up against their warmth and let himself slip into slumber - finally, and at long last - at peace. The End (for now)
