"Mulder, look... Colton plays by the book and you don't. They feel your methods, your theories are..."

"Spooky?" Mulder leaned oh-so-slightly closer to her, invading her personal space as he so often did, and she swayed back slightly.

Scully let out a quick breath and forced herself to ignore the reaction that her body was having to him. For heaven's sake, she thought, he'd only been her partner for a couple of weeks now, and he'd managed to already have her hormones in a spin. It all started when she first heard his voice... She pulled herself back to the present and concentrated on being cool.

It was then that he blew it.

"Do you think I'm spooky?"

At the sound of the low, seductive, honey-and-gravel-all-rolled-into-one, *face it* goddamned BEDROOM voice, her insides started quivering, and her knees turned to jelly. It was al she could do to restrain herself from just pouncing on him right there on the floor of the crime scene, surrounded by witnesses.

Screw them, she thought, struggling to suppress the giggles bubbling up her throat and to keep a detached look on her face. She was sure they'd enjoy the show.

With that thought, she realized just what she was contemplating and gave herself one hell of a mental slap. *Whoa, girl!* Scully admonished herself.

*Get your hormones under control. This is Spooky Mulder we're talking about here. The biggest joke in the academy--and your partner besides!*

Then she made a big mistake: she looked at his eyes.

*Aaauuuggghhh!* her brain screamed as she looked into the dark pools, which were smouldering and amused all at once. She could tell that he knew what that voice could do to women, and that he wasn't above using it to his advantage. Scully suddenly had the feeling that she would have to start getting used to his way of invading her space, and using that damned voice, or she would go positively loopy with desire.

So, with that thought firmly in mind, she did the only thing that she could think of: she reverted back to her Special Agent Dr. Dana Scully BSc. M.D. with the FBI persona.

Breathe in... Breathe out... Breathe in... Breathe out. There. That wasn't so hard. Was it?

She heard Colton coming and took one last look at Mulder.

The hell it wasn't.
