This is the third story that is the result of sheer boredom at a work-related conference. I guess we'll call them a Trilogy since I like writing them. 7 March 2001. Reality by nja 18 March 2001 XxXxXxXxX Saturday morning, 10 April The Residences of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully "Hello?" "Hi, Scully, it's me." "What's up Mulder?" "Have I got a great business proposition for you. How about if I come over there and we can talk about it?" Mulder's eagerness knew no bounds. Scully's did. "Mulder, I don't want to enter into any 'great business propositions'. I was actually going to sit around and do nothing today." She thought she heard him sigh. She also thought she heard just the slightest suggestion of a whine coming on. The whine would most certainly be accompanied by the puppydog eyes and the pouting lips...the pouting lips. "Mulder, get over here. You have exactly 5 minutes to tell me about this business deal and then I don't want to hear anything more about it. Deal?" "Deal, Scully, deal." XxXxXxXxX The Residence of Dana Scully The Pitch Scully sat on her couch, legs up under her, arms crossed in front of her. Classic Scully, 'I-know-I'm-not-going-to-buy-this' pose. Mulder sat opposite her in the chair, knowing full well what she was doing and that he had his work cut out for him. "Talk, Mulder. And make it good." Scully smiled at him; the smile that said, 'you will not convince me, but I'll enjoy the pitch.' Mulder told her about his buddy, Agent Gregg Dobbins. "He works at the Reston, Virginia office and he's got a great side business going; Virtual Reality." "Mulder, isn't that the stupid computer game where everyone claims to believe they're having a pseudo-reality experience? They strap on those silly goggles and think they're creating an environment simulating reality? Mulder, everyone knows it's just another computer game. You're going to throw your money away?" Mulder was sitting with his legs apart, leaning forward, elbows on his legs. Upon hearing Scully's little tirade, he slumped farther forward, head hanging down. "Scully, Scully, Scully, oh ye of so little faith even when the facts are staring you in the face. How can you write this off without at least checking it out? Gregg grossed over $500,000.00 the first year out. Last year, he doubled his sales and he can't keep up with the orders." Scully told Mulder how happy she was for Gregg and that his 5 minutes was up. Mulder made one more plea. "Scully, how about you go check it out for a free session? Gregg will set it up. It'll cost you nothing. Then, you can tell me what you really think. C'mon, Scully, you're the scientist. Use the discovery method. Test the hypothesis yourself--" "Mulder? Shut up. I'll think about it." "I'll come with you, Scully. It'll be fun." Scully declined. She decided that she probably would check it out, but not with Mulder. She didn't like the idea of him having the upper hand or trying to convince her. Her discovery on her terms. XxXxXxXxX Reston, VA Reality Happens Club The Tour Tuesday, 14 April They had a day off for a professional development session in the morning. Scully had called Gregg Dobbins to arrange to check out his product. She asked him not to tell Mulder. Mulder asked her to go to lunch with him. She told him she had an appointment out of town. The truth. Mulder liked the truth. But she obfuscated just a bit. And Mulder knew. "Agent Scully, please come in! I'm so glad you're willing to take a look at my new product. Agent Mulder speaks very highly of you." "Likewise, Agent Dobbins." Gregg Dobbins was a rather remarkable man; intellect and looks. She had met so few of Mulder's friends other than Byers, Frohike and Langly that she hadn't been sure what to expect. He told her a little bit about the science and technology behind the Virtual Reality headset and screens. Scully asked a few questions; she'd done her reading and homework. Gregg rose to the occasion nicely, but Scully still wasn't convinced. "The beauty of VR, Agent Scully--" "Please, call me Scully." "Ok, Scully, the beauty of it is simple; very low risk, high return. In other words, you can literally 'live out' your wildest fantasies, travel to exotic places you can't afford, relieve stress; all within the confines of the booth and loungechair. Your visits are private and you set the parameters." He took her to see the booth and loungechair. The booth was a darkened glass enclosure approximately 8' X 10' with a full ceiling. In the center of the room was two very large, leather loungechairs that would allow the user(s) to sit or completely lay back, legs totally supported. The arms to the chair had 'webs' attaching them to the chair proper with leather slings that would allow the arms to rest gently. The chairs also had user straps. The straps were intended to help ground the user should s/he choose a reality trip that was vigorous. Once relaxed into the chair, some users had forgotten where they were and nearly fallen out. "The booth is completely soundproof. There's a call buzzer on the chairs should you need an attendant or me. I'll take you in and show you your choices, if you're ready?" "Why are there two chairs?" Scully noticed they were placed up against each other, side by side. Gregg smiled and laughed a bit. "We're into bringing in the business, Scully! Some people like to share their experiences. By choosing the same program and each other's personal attributes, you can invite someone in." Scully noticed the booth also had climate control. She asked if she could warm it up a little bit. It was very warm outside for April and she had pulled out her walking shorts and a short sleeved cotton sweater. She had even slipped on a pair of sandals. Her toes wriggled, happy to be free from the winter shoes. Gregg called up the computerized menu of program choices. She was amazed by detailed the list was. She also had a list of characters she could 'invite' into her program. Gregg told her that if there was someone not listed, she could easily 'create her or him' by choosing the personal attributes submenu. XxXxXxXxX Reality Happens Club The Test Drive Scully was surprised to find that she was almost looking forward to trying out a program. Gregg told her she could have as long as she wanted. He showed her how to wear the large, black goggles-like headset. He helped her adjust it to fit her head and then connected the finger wires that would allow her to manipulate her virtual environment. Finally, he showed her where the call buzzer was located and how to end the program. She was ready to begin. She first chose a simple program experience and made her selections: location? City park. Time of day? Sunrise. Weather? Sunny, 70s, breezy. Activity? Jogging workout. Personal attributes? She filled in a self description, pressed 'enter' on the control pad and pushed it out of her way. As her eyes adjusted to the goggles, she opened her mouth in disbelief to see a perfect rendition of a city park take shape in front of her and all around her. She actually 'felt' the warm morning breeze, the pavement below her feet. 'She' started to jog, noting the running shoes on her feet and the program-provided running outfit. The program had filled in what she left blank. After about 10 minutes exploring this program, she ended it, ready to try something else. XxXxXxXxXxX "Mulder? Gregg here. Yeah, she's here. Uh, huh; yeah, I think she's hooked. Been in there about 15 minutes and she's trying a second program. What? No, no can do, buddy. Can't tap into her program for you. Ok; no, she doesn't know you're coming. Of course, I won't spoil your surprise for her." Mulder arrived about 5 minutes later...since he called from his cell while parking his car. He was excited. He hoped Scully would feel the same way. However, he was prepared for her to be a little upset; okay, maybe a *lot* upset. "She's in booth #5. You know, you might want me to announce you. People really get into these and, well, she could be programming something really private, Mulder." Mulder did actually consider Gregg's suggestion for all of about 10 seconds. Gregg was right; he didn't want to invade Scully's privacy. But, he just knew she'd like it and he wanted to share her enthusiasm. Then, there was also the possibility that she would get mad; very mad. Scully was at the beach. The water was teal blue and aquamarine, small white crests lapping gently on the finely textured, white sand. There were dunes nearby and rocky jetties. The only thing she had never liked about the beaches around here were the bugs. So, she programmed them out. She wore a dark green, two piece, thong bikini on her dark-tanned body. Never in her wildest imagination did she ever think she would choose a bikini; let alone a thong and a push up bra top. She chose not to wear any makeup and left her hair free to blow around in the breezes off the VR water. She tested the water with her toes and actually 'felt' the sensation of the cool spray stinging her bare flesh. Back in the booth, she lay on her back in the loungechair, her hands reaching around as she 'touched' the water, the sand, herself. Her head turned and moved as she took in the virtual environment. Her body moved as she adjusted the virtual thong... XxXxXxXxX Mulder slipped into the room quietly. He had a momentary pang of guilt about not letting Scully know he was here, but it passed as he watched her on the loungechair. Since he and Gregg had already sampled most of the programs, he knew exactly what to do to join Scully's program. He planned on joining first as an unseen observer. He slid onto his loungechair and wired himself to begin. He quickly located her beach program and hit enter. Mulder looked around at the beauty of the beach, but kept coming right back to the beauty of Scully; her totally exposed beauty. He knew she was gorgeous and he'd seen her in other than work clothes since they often spent some downtime together. However, they had yet to go swimming together. And, he guessed, accurately, that this was not usual Scully swimwear. He tried to figure out where and how to join her. XxXxXxXxX Scully admitted she was really enjoying this. She went for a swim; her virtual bathing suit and hair actually 'felt' wet! She walked out on the jetties, climbed the dunes. She'd explored on her own long enough. She wanted some company. And she knew just who she'd 'invite'. Afterall, Gregg did say that she could explore her fantasies, didn't he? She set the physical parameters first: male, 6', medium brown hair, hazel/green eyes, approximately 185 lbs., swimmer's body, muscular build. Then, she 'dressed' him: knee length navy cotton shorts/bathing trunks. She refined her parameters once he appeared at her beach. XxXxXxXxX Frohike had given him a few pointers. The first was how to appear in Scully's program so that she would think she had created him. It worked. He even approved of how she dressed him. He was a little more muscular than in RL, but he realized that was how Scully saw him. He had a slight panic when he wondered whether she wanted him to look more muscular. He walked toward her very warm and very wet body, shielding his eyes from the sun with his hand. XxXxXxXxX Scully could not believe how life like VR Mulder was. She approached him slowly, taking in his tanned, bare chest and how the breeze gently rippled through his chest hair and the hair on his head. He looked completely tousled. And completely hot. As she drew nearer, she reached one hand toward him. He took her hand in his. Scully liked this program. She found herself totally engrossed in the program, leaving the loungechair and booth far behind her. The beauty of the program, she mused, was the fact that she could actually play out some of her dreams and fantasies in full living color *and* she could actually direct them. Unlike dreams that vanished when she woke or fantasies that remained only in her mind. She wanted to play this one out in its entirety. And, for once, she would not have to try to disguise her thoughts when Mulder showed up in the office as happened all too often nowadays. XxXxXxXxX When she reached out her hand to him, he smiled. He didnšt have to think twice about taking it in his. He resisted the very strong urge to pull her to him. He had to remember that this was her fantasy and he had to let her play it out her own way. He didn't want to give himself away. She extended her other hand and took his. She placed it on her waist and moved toward him. Laying on the loungechair, he was again amazed at how realistic this program felt. What was equally amazing was the realistic way his cock bulged in his shorts... The warm VR sun blazed down on them both and he watch her stand on tiptoes to reach his face. He gasped as she licked his bottom lip and then kissed both. XxXxXxXxX Scully couldn't believe the life like reaction she was eliciting from VR Mulder. He even gasped when she kissed him. She wanted much more. She ran her hands up and down his chest, feeling as if she couldn't get enough of the feel of his skin beneath her hands. She looked into his eyes and said, "Mulder, you don't know how much I've wanted to do this to you, how long I've waited for this chance." As he pressed his body to hers, she felt herself become very wet coating the thin strip of her thong. Laying in the loungechair, she realized that her panties were also very wet. VR Mulder asked her just what she wanted to 'do to him' as he purred in her ear. A shiver ran down her spine and she smiled wickedly at him. "I want to feel and taste you, Mulder, then, I want more. How's that for starters?" XxXxXxXxX Mulder was in too deep now; (or hoped he would be), to pull out. In his wildest imaginings, a scene similar to the beach had played out many times. In the cold light of day, he knew they were just imaginings. He figured that now that they were more into the program, he could allow himself to take some initiative His actions would seem plausible since Scully had indicated what she wanted to 'do to him'. Besides, he was so turned on at this point that he didn't think he could back down. "That's fine for starters, Scully, but what will we do next?" Mulder figured that he could still let her lead, but would let more and more of himself seep into the program. VR Mulder placed one hand on the back of Scully's head, and brushed her wind blown hair from her face with the other. He looked into her eyes and then held her face, thumbs caressing her cheeks. When he saw the low heat in her eyes blazing at him, he touched his lips to hers. Turning his head to deepen the connection, he ran his tongue along her lips, asking; no, demanding access. XxXxXxXxX Scully felt her nerve endings tingle. She was becoming more and more lost in the program, unable to sort out what was real life and what was the program. The only way she could find the truth at this point was to consciously feel the loungechair beneath her. And, even that was becoming more difficult to do. With a fleeting thought she knew Mulder was right about joining this business venture... As VR Mulder deepened the kiss, she became lost in a vortex of sensations and emotions. She ran her hands down his arms, raked her nails lightly across his abs, drawing a gasp from him. Rising on her toes, she let her hands roam and swirl across his back and rest on his ass, holding him firmly to her. When she felt the cloth of his swimtrunks hindering her, she slipped both of her hands under the waistband, feeling the heat of his firm skin beneath her hands. The touch sent a heady rush through her, her knees buckling. She held him even tighter to keep from losing her balance. She tugged on him, pulling them both down onto their knees on a blanket she didn't remember programming... She felt the clasp on her top slip open and their mouths separated just long enough for the top to leave her body. His hands moved with lightening speed, covering her breasts completely, then twisting and rolling her nipples between his fingers with increasing pressure. "Ohgod, ohmygod, Mulder, don't stop; not ever." Scully was panting so hard she thought she might faint. XxXxXxXxX Mulder was on fire. A brief, albeit very brief, pang of guilty conscience flowed through him, knowing exactly where this virtual interlude was headed, but then his virtual body took over. Mulder looked at Scully's face, glazed over with passion and pure, animalistic lust. Her words were like jolts of electricity straight to every part of him. "Not about to stop, Scully," was all he could manage. He reached down to her hip and pulled on the string bow holding the thong bottom together. She shuddered beneath his touch. As he pulled the flimsy fabric from her, he moved one of his legs between hers, separating her legs, pulling one up toward his hip. He ran his hand around her waist, to her hips. She held his face to hers, her tongue flicking against his. He moved his hands down over her ass, one hand sliding further until he could feel the slickness inside her. From behind, he pressed one finger deeply inside her and she groaned his name against his mouth. He felt her tug at his swimtrunks. Somehow, they disappeared from his body. Mulder's reaction in both VR and reality was so strong that he also yanked off his shorts and boxers in the VR booth. Unfortunately, he did not have three hands and his two were already quite busy with VR Scully. XxXxXxXxX "Mulder? Can you hear me?" Gregg whispered into Mulder's headset. "Are you two all right? Your heart rates are off the charts, big guy." Gregg waited a few more seconds then tried again. "Mulder! Earth to space man. If you don't respond to me buddy, I'm coming in there and you and your friend probably aren't going to like that one little bit. Ok; I get it, you're hooked into her program and don't want to give yourself away. Got it. Just grunt so I know you're ok and I'll back right on out of your lovely little 'surprise'. And, Mulder? You've really got it bad, man." Mulder grunted, loudly. Gregg backed right on out of Mulder's lovely little 'surprise'. XxXxXxXxX Scully wondered how she was ever going to walk out of the booth. She was sure her shorts were soaked and she was breathing very hard. She was also glad Mulder had agreed to let her do this on her own. She wouldn't be able to face him after this experience. The thought that this was the only way she'd probably ever have this experience with him made her more than just a little sad... "Mulder, I want you." Scully panted into his ear in between darting her tongue inside it. "I want you inside me and I want you to fuck the life out of me." XxXxXxXxX Mulder couldn't believe his ears. Scully's words went straight to his already at full attention cock. And her words were very close to what he fantasized she might say. He just never expected them to actually come from her lips. "Oh, I think I can accommodate you, Scully. No, I'm sure I can." Mulder lowered Scully beneath him. The combination of the VR sun on his back , the blanket sliding under them on the sand, the waves lapping and his soon-to-be-partner-in-every-way squirming, nipping, biting and vocalizing made his head swim. He forgot where he was, but knew what he wanted to do. Badly. He spent a few minutes just rubbing himself against her, watching her reaction; knowing she was more than ready for him. She pushed hard against him and begged him to join with her. XxXxXxXxX Mulder was taking his sweet time, teasing her, making her beg. This was not the Mulder she created! She created the VR Mulder who would be at her beck and call. This Mulder was acting a little too much like himself. And he was driving her insane with want, desire and naked lust. Her RL clothing suddenly became too much for her. It was amazing just how quickly one could shed clothing when it was a necessity. She vaguely remembered Gregg promising her total privacy, but didn't really care at this moment. She didn't even notice the cool air on her naked body, right before it suddenly became very warm again. XxXxXxXxX Mulder covered the now naked Scully's body with his own. Before the headsets could get in their way, he pushed them off, sending them both plunging into RL must too fast to allow reaction time. He pinned her hands, still wired with the program connectors, behind her head and positioned himself over her. XxXxXxXxX Scully felt her headset pushed up from her eyes at the same time she felt the delicious rush of heat from Mulder's body positioned over hers. She felt his hands grab hers and hold them over her head where the headset lay... She opened her eyes, seeing not the blazing sun, but the darkness of the booth around her. And a very real Mulder above her. She bucked against him and she squirmed. From anger and rage; the lust draining from her. "Mulder! Just what the hell do you think you're doing?! Get off of me!" Strong as she was, he effectively had her pinned. His legs between hers did not even allow her the satisfaction of kneeing him where it would cause the most pain. "Scully, relax." "Relax??? You have invaded my most intimate privacy unannounced and you expect me to *relax*?" "I'm sorry, Scully. I have no plausible excuse. No rational man's reason. No--" "You're right, Mulder; you are not plausible or rational and you're certainly no man. Now, get off of me before I--" Mulder tried unsuccessfully not to smirk. Scully wrested one hand free and slapped Mulder's face. Mulder's head turned to the side, but he recovered quickly. He grabbed her hand again. "Or you'll what, Scully? Tell me that you don't want me here. Look me straight in the eye and tell me and I'm gone. Instantly." They looked at each other. Mulder saw her anger, felt its truth. Before she could say anything, he let her hands go and started moving off of her. "I am sorry, Scully. You're right, I should leave." He reached for her shorts, ready to hand them to her as he stood. She was shocked. She had imagined a few ways this would end, but Mulder apologizing and willing to leave was not one of them. She still didn't like the idea of how he'd intruded; not in the least. But, she was also still undeniably turned on and he was the cause. "Mulder?" "Yeah, Scully?" "If you move another inch away from me, I won't be responsible for my actions. I said I wanted you inside of me and I remember being rather desperate about it." "'Desperate' is one way to put it, Scully." After disentangling themselves from the program connectors, Mulder placed his hands on Scully's face and kissed her tenderly. Her eyes closed, she visualized the warm beach, the blanket beneath her, Mulder above her; Mulder in her. She wrapped her arms under his and up to his shoulders. He grabbed her legs, guiding them to his hips; his waist. He resumed his teasing, just letting the swollen tip of him touch her very sensitive clit, and then pulling away. She bit his earlobe and whispered into his ear, "You are such a tease, Mulder, and I've giving you to the count of 5-4-3-2..." Mulder pushed himself into her slickness feeling her gasp and contract. He drove into her more deeply and felt the loungechair beneath them move. XxXxXxXxX "Hey, Gregg, the activity level in Booth #5's going off the monitors! Think I oughta shut it down?" "Uh, no; no, don't do that. I think the activity's gonna level off in just a bit. Just monitor life signs, but do not, I repeat do not, save this program for general use." XxXxXxXxX The VR and RL End
