 Dana Scully gently tapped on the open door of Assistant Director 
Skinner's office. "You wanted to see me sir?"

He barely looked up from his report. "Come in, and lock the door 
behind you."

She gave him a knowing gaze, then she shut and locked the door. She
 pulled the blinds shut, then she took off her jacket, and tossed it on the chair. 

Skinner put the report aside, got up and came over to her.  He put his 
arms around her. Then he kissed her passionately. "I've been wanting
 you all morning." 

"So have I," she confessed. She ran her hand up and down the front 
of his pants, he was hard. 

Skinner picked Scully up, and carried her to his desk. He set her down
 on it. Then he unfastened his pants, his cock sprang out, and then without
 any preparation, he entered her. 

This wasn't a real relationship, Dana always told herself, just fucking a few 
times a week. It kept her superior happy, and a happy Skinner was more l
ikely to agree to Mulder's crazy plans. Plus Skinner was a terrific lover,
 she had to admit.

Dana was so busy making love to Skinner, that she didn't notice that 
someone was watching them through a crack in the blinds. 

***********************

Your cruel device
Your blood, like ice
One look could kill
My pain, your thrill...


Fox Mulder went to his office, and locked the door behind him. He could
 still see Dana fucking Skinner in his mind. They had been together for 
almost eighteen months. Eighteen months of terrific sex. They had an open 
relationship, it was the only way Dana would stay with him. He knew she 
dated, but this was the first real time he had evidence that she was sleeping
 with someone. It hurt more to know that the someone was their superior.

Mulder loved Dana, he knew that's where the trouble lay, with him falling in 
love with his lover.  He had known their entire relationship that she was poison, 
poison he was additcted to. He found himself crying.

Not long passed and the door to his office opened. Dana came in. "You ready
 for lunch?"

"It's okay, I'm not hungry." he said, not looking up to her.

"All right, then lets get back to work." she said.

Mulder finally looked up to Scully. "Tell me, do you eat with Skinner, or
 just fuck him."

"How did you find out about that?" she asked.

"What does it matter, if its true?" he countered. 

"It's none of your business who I sleep with, we have an open relationship." 
 She reminded him.

"We also agreed not to fling our flings in front of each other."

"If you hadn't been spying on me, you wouldn't have known."

"I wasn't spying on you, truth be told, I could see you from the hallway."

"Why where you following me?" she asked.

"If he had wanted to see you, he might have wanted to see me. We're 
partners." Mulder said.

"Your jealous!"

"What's wrong with that?" he asked. "I love you, I have a right to.."

"You have no right!" Scully said, her voice raising. ""*IF* you remember, 
part of our agreement was not to fall in love with each other. You broke 
that agreement."

"I know, I'm sorry," Mulder said quietly. 

"It's over, do you understand, we're over!" 

"Why?" Mulder said.

"We had an agreement, you broke it. What else do you want me to 
say? If you want to know the truth, Skinner is a fantastic lover, he's much 
better then you!"  she said, her blue eyes flashing. 

Mulder felt as if a knife went through his heart. "If thats what you want."

"Your acting like an ass! I can't believe your so jealous!" Scully went
 to the door. "I'm going to go home. I don't want you following me, do you
 understand."

"Yes, I understand." he said. 

He watched as she left. It was over. He had destroyed their relationship 
by being jealous. 

He opened up his drawer. There was a small book inside the drawer. He 
had bought it so they could have some fun together. Perhaps now he could 
use it to tell her how he felt about her.

************************


Dana had been really upset with Mulder, how dare he be jealous. She 
had just came into work, she found a coupon sitting on her desk. It read 
"Redeemable for three wishes." 

//If only that were true,// she thought. 

She opened up the drawer that she kept her purse. Laying in the bottom 
of the drawer was another coupon. "Redeemable for three hours of full attention...
not to be interrupted."

Dana sighed, she wondered who had left the coupons. At least Mulder 
wasn't around. He had been extraordinarily difficult as of late. Their being
 lovers had only caused them to grow further apart. He had been irriating 
as a friend, he was even more of an irritation as a lover.

Dana pulled her chair out, on the seat was a coupon that read. "This coupon 
guarantees the owner to 24 hours of complete privacy."

She sat down,  logged on the internet, and checked her e-mail.  There was a short message from Mulder. 

Dana, 
I was a jerk, you don't have to tell me that. I don't feel so good, I have 
called in sick. I think the time apart would do us good. If you want to
 stand by the breakup, I understand.
love 
fox.

Mulder had signed himself as Fox, he had never done that before. 
Scully called his apartment. The answering machine answered. 
She didn't leave a message.

******************


Mulder hadn't believed his luck when he found the coupon book at 
the new age store. He had bought them so that he would have an 
interesting weekend with Dana. The coupons would be his way of saying
 good-bye, and that he still loved her. He waited till she had left for work, 
then he unlocked her door, and went inside her apartment.

The apartment gave him too many bad memories. Their first time had been 
on the couch. She had seduced him. 

He placed a pound box of her favorite truffles on the living room table. He 
placed a coupon on top of that. "This coupon gives the bearer the ability to 
have one day of chocolate."

Mulder deposited the coupons around the apartment. The last one 
was hand written. "This coupon entitles the bearer to a life without 
fox Mulder.

Tears dripped on it as he read it one last time. He placed it on her 
bedside table, underneath the cd that had given him confort 
through their relationship. As soon as she found it, it would
 be over. he sat down on her bed and sobbed.

***********************************

It was only the last coupon that told Dana Scully who the person was.
who left them where. Mulder, her Mulder. She had never loved
 anyone like she loved him. It had taken their break up to realize
 that. Thinking of him not being by her side was enough to make 
her realize what her true feeling where. 

After finding the last note, Dana realized it was on a CD. She 
picked up the cd. It was Alice Cooper's Classicks. A CD that 
she had found many times in Mulder's Cd player. Strangly he 
had always told her not to listen to it. Now, he left her a 
copy.  She opened the jewel box. There was a note that told 
her to listen to the first song.

Dana went to her sterio and put in the cd. Then she started it. 

She listened, realizing that this was the way that Mulder felt 
for her. Everytime she had dated someone she had hurt him. She
 was poison to him, and addictive poison. 

She had told him that she never wanted to see him. 

The door bell rang. She knew who it was before she went to
 the door. It was Skinner, she had forgotten about their date. 

She went to the door, knowing she was going to break up 
with him. if the choice was between him and Mulder, her 
partner would win.

*******************

She went to a book store, and found her own coupon book. One 
was perfect for them. "This coupon is good for unconditional forgiveness."
 She went to his apartment, and to his door. She knocked. 

A moment passed, and the door opened. Mulder looked at her, his 
eyes red-rimmed. "What are you doing here?"

Dana didn't say anything to him, instead she held out a coupon. He took
 it from her, and read it. She was surprised to see a tear trickle down 
his cheek. 

"I don't deserve forgiveness."

"The coupon says unconditional forgiveness, you have mine." She 
went to him, putting her arms around him. Mulder held onto her tighter 
then he had ever before. She realized he was sobbing. "I'm here for you,"

"I never thought you would come back to  me," he told her.

"I never really left." 

Mulder kissed her, and she could taste his tears in his kiss.

He led her into the apartment, and shut the door behind her. 

"Why did you leave the coupons?" she asked him.

"I saw them and thought what the hell, it couldn't hurt." 

Dana reached up, and whipped the tears from Mulder's cheeks. "It 
was romantic, very romantic. I've never seen that side of you. I like it."

"Really?" he asked, there was hope in his eyes.

"Really," she told him. "I bought my own book, for you to use on me."

"I think it would be better if you used the coupons on me." he said.

"I don't understand," she said confused.

"*I* was the one that caused us to break up, *I* should be the one 
that takes the punishment."

"No one's going to be punished."

"I want to please you," he pulled away from her and went to the kitchen
 table. He picked up his own coupon book. He looked through it and 
took one out. He then gave it to her. 

She read it. It said: "This coupon entitles Dana Scully to have one 
weekend with Fox Mulder as her sexual slave. He will do anything 
he is asked to without protest."

"You can't be serious," she gasped.

"I am very serious." he told her. 

"You'll do anything......"

"Anything," he agreed. "I trust you, I know you won't injure me permanently.."

"Will you wear your earring for me?"

"You want me to wear my earring," he repeated.

"I think it's very sexy," she told him. She took off one of the posts 
she was wearing and gave it to him, he put the earring in. "I like that. 
Now kiss me."

Mulder did as he was commanded, kissing Dana. They kissed for 
quite awhile, then she commanded him to take her to the bedroom. 
Mulder picked her up and carried her into the bedroom. He sat her 
down on the bed. He then stood there, waiting for a command. 

Dana patted the bed beside her. "Lay down,"

He did, settling down beside her. She commanded him to kiss her,
 and he did. Mulder was growing excited she could tell. Dana took 
his hand, and put it on her thigh, right above the edge of her skirt. 
Mulder took the hint, moving his hand up her leg, pulling the skirt 
up. Her legs parted, he found her bud, stroking it, exciting her,
 pleasuring her.

//Goddess he's good at this,// she thought.

He pulled away from her. "How does it feel?"

"Good, I want you to go down on me."

"As you wish," Mulder said. He hesitated for a moment as if he was 
afraid. Then he got between her legs, kissing her knees. Then he trailed 
a row of kisses down the inside of her leg, he then caressed the inside 
of her leg with his lips. There was another slight hesitation from Mulder, 
and then his lips touched her clit. Using his mouth to make love to her.
 Dana let herself go, thrusting to his mouth. Suddenly she came.

She sat up, putting her arms around Mulder. Kissing his lips. She could
 taste her juices. She could feel his hardness pressing against her. She 
reached down, unbuttoning his pants. Freeing his cock. Wrapping her 
fingers around it, pumping it.

Mulder moaned. She sat down on his lap, and lowered herself down 
onto his penis. he started working on her shirt, unbuttoning it, taking it 
off of her. The bra was next.  They made love without talking. Letting 
the feelings overcome them.

************************************

I hear you calling and it's needles and pins.
I want to hurt you just to hear you screaming my name....
Don't want to touch you but your under my skin.
I want to kiss you but your lips are venomous poison.


"I want to tie you up," Dana told Mulder.

"All right," Mulder agreed. 

"You got any spare ties?"

"In my bottom drawer." 

Dana got out of bed, and went to the drawer. She took out several ties,
 and his sewing kit, that she set on the bedside table. "I want you to lay
 in the middle of the bed."

Mulder did as he was told, without saying anything. He had promised 
his lover that he would do anything she had told him to do. Was she planing 
on beating him? He watched as Dana took a tie, and tied his right wrist to
 the railing of the bed. Then she did the same with his left wrist. 

"If I asked you to do something, no matter how crazy, would you 
do it?" she asked.

"Your my mistress," he told her.

"What if I wanted to pierce you?" she asked.

She wanted to pierce him. A cold lump grew in his throat. He could
 remember when she showed him pics of men who had their penises 
pierced. "Where?"

"Your nipple," 

Mulder let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. "Do it."

She paused. "You don't have to do this." 

"I promised I would be your slave for the weekend. If you want
 your servant pierced, so be it."

He watched Scully walk into the bathroom. She came out carrying a 
bottle of alcohol, and some cotton balls. 

She came over to him, and sat down beside him, facing him. "You don't 
have to do this."

"I do, try to understand, I do." he told her. 

He watched with a mixture of anticipation and fear as Dana sterilized 
his nipple with a cotton ball, playing with the nipple until it was erect.  
Then she took out a needle, sterilizing it. Then she bent down, steel 
hitting his nipple, and slowly went through him. It hurt, damn it hurt.  
He found himself screaming. "Dana!"

There was a look of joy that crossed Scully's face. Then she said. "Are 
you okay?"

"Are you going to leave the needle in me?" he asked.

"Are you all right?' she repeated.

"I am fine," he gasped. 

Dana went to his jewelry box, and found a earring. She then turned back
 to him.  She sterilized the earring, then pulled the needle out of the nipple.
 He gasped in pain. Then she put the earring in, it was a hoop, and she fastened it.

 He had been punished by his lover, and he had survived. Dana kissed 
him, and he found himself kissing back.


******************************
Your mouth, so hot
Your web, I'm caught
Your skin so wet
Black lace on sweat


They were sitting on the couch. They where both dressed, watching
 TV. It had been several hours since Dana had pierced his nipple. The 
piercing still ached, but Dana was really turned on by it, and that made 
him feel good.

Scully looked at Mulder, then smiled slyly. For a moment he was really 
afraid. Was she planing on doing something else? Then his lover leaned 
forward slowly. She was wearing her favorite perfume. The shirt she was 
wearing came open, showing her black lace teddy. Then she kissed him 
on the lips.

Then just as suddenly, Mulder felt something slip inside his T-shirt. He
 pulled away from her. 

"I'm giving you a coupon," she explained.

"The holder of this coupon gets one neck massage," he read. "You want 
me to rub your neck?"

Scully looked down to the card, and then back up to him. "Would you 
believe I  gave you the wrong coupon?"

"Really? What did you plan on giving me?" he asked.

"I made a mistake, it was my fault, why don't you pick one?" she suggested.

Mulder picked up his coupon book off the end table. He found a 
coupon, tore it out, and handed it to her. 

Dana read it. "This coupon allows the bearer permission not to make sense."

"You always say my theories don't make sense." he told her. "Now we've 
both make mistakes."

Scully took the coupon book and baped Mulder in the head with it. 
She then kissed him. Mulder's hand went to the back of her head, touching 
her hair. 

*******************************************
I want to love you but I better not touch,
I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop,
I want to kiss you but I want it too much.
I taste you but your lips are venomous poison.
I don't want to break these chains.


Dana was half dozing in Mulder's arms when she heard him say. "I love 
you...I love you too much. I want to stop being jealous, but I'm not sure 
I can."

She finally decided to speak. "During our open relationship, have 
you seen anyone but me?"

"How could I? I was with you." he said so softly, she wasn't sure she
 heard him.

"If you where going to be faithful, why did you agree to an open relationship?"

"It was the only way I could have you," Mulder pulled away from Dana,
 his feeling were written on his face, the despair of being found out. "I 
destroyed our relationship, I am sorry. You should go home now, when
 I see you tomorrow, I'll pretend there never was an us."

"You want to break up with me?" she gasped.

"Yes....no, of course I don't." Mulder turned from her. His shoulders 
were shaking. "This is all my fault."

Mulder had been willing to do anything to keep her, even letting her sleep 
with other men, even begging her to hurt him. He loved her. For the first 
time she realized how much his love for her meant.  "Are you going to ask 
Skinner for a new partner?"

That drove Mulder over the edge, he began to sob. She went to 
his side. "Leave me alone," he said. He didn't struggle when she put her
 arms around him, pulling him close.

"You said all our problems were our fault. Your wrong, it's mine. Mine 
for not realizing what you feeling were for me." She told him.

"We have an agreement. I broke it, I understand why you would want 
to break up with me."

"That agreement should never been made." she paused. "I was afraid. 
I've never loved anyone the way I love you." Now she was crying. 
She held onto him as if he were a life line. 

After he finished crying, he pulled away from her. He reached out 
and wiped  the tears from his cheeks. "If we continue, we will have 
to have it differently. No open relationships."

"I didn't tell you, but I've broken up with Skinner. There will only be 
you from now on."

Mulder couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. "How did you explain it?"

"It doesn't matter. I made my choice, and I choose you." she said.

The next thing he asked, surprised him. "On Monday, don't go home. Stay
 here, make this our home."

"YOU want me to move in with you?'

"I love you," was all he said.
