Adam Danzig noticed the redhead's late entry but he didn't let it show either by appearance or inflection.He continued his prepared address and tucked her presence away in the back of his mind.It wasn't until the polite applause diminished that he allowed his eyes to seek her out once more, and he was momentarily startled when he was unable to locate her in the exiting crowd.Damn!She was so tiny! But that flaming red hair was hard to hide.He
...
"Thank you, Mr. Danzig," she replied.

"Dr. Danzig, actually," he said, and she looked up at him. He held his hand out to her and she took it.
...
"Dr. Danzig."She sighed.She was too comfortable by a long shot to go out to dinner.But she liked the sound of his voice.
...
"That sounds wonderful, Adam."
...
to Adam Danzig.He was straightforward.Intelligent.Rich. Easy on the eyes.Maybe a little too used to getting his way, but she supposed that went with the territory.She liked his phone manner.More importantly, he wasn't hiding anything, and that was a novelty she wasn't about to pass up.
...
Adam opened the door for her
...
Danzig pushed open the wide double doors."Welcome to my home." He followed her in and took her coat, and it was all she could do to keep her mouth from hanging open like an unsophisticated rube.

"It's beautiful!"she exclaimed.
...
this feels right, Adam."

He didn't resist when she pulled him to her.He kissed her gently, the barest touch of lips, learning her contours in the cool dark.He was cautious, afraid that maybe he'd been wrong, that maybe she was just another conniving fortune hunter.But she didn't rush him, was in no hurry to claim him for her own.He moved slowly, savoring her like fine brandy, alert for any sign of insincerity or treachery. When he could sense no hidden agenda he opened the floodgates of his passion and truly kissed her, pressing her close and reaching down into her soul.She responded to him in a way he hadn't thought possible.He pushed her away.

"What is it?"she asked, stroking his face in the cold starlight.

He ran a hand through his hair and looked at her."I'm afraid, Dana.
...
to see Scully leave once more with Adam Danzig.
...
Adam knew the owner, and soon they were set up with a couple of Tsingtaos and a table.

"Your break," he called.

She lined up the shot, wiggling her rear in the process and losing control of the cue.Adam proceeded to instruct her on the finer points of the sport, but she could not concentrate with his hard body pressed against her back as he guided her shot."You're too tense," he whispered in her ear. "I know a better place to learn."

Before she knew what was happening they were once again in the red road rocket, heading into the upper east side.He
...
Adam Danzig smiled down at the proud, brave beauty lying unconscious beside him.He stroked her fiery hair and kissed her gently.He had waited so long for a woman like her. He looked up once more into the actinic blue light and offered thanks before gathering her up into his arms and giving himself up to sleep.
...
Adam Danzig paid him no attention."Dinner tonight?"he asked her softly, almost as an aside.
...
"I suggest you remove your hand if you value it," Danzig replied.

"Don't, Adam.He's FBI."And even softer, "He's armed."

Danzig laughed.
...
Skinner took the card and the two of them watched Adam

"His name is Adam Danzig.
...
having dinner with Adam Danzig.
...
Danzig.She'd known him barely two days, yet she was prepared to turn her life upside down for him.She frowned.
...
Adam Danzig exited the elevator in the midtown skyscraper
...
Danzig stood and came around the desk, offering his hand. "Adam, please," he said.
...
Danzig was wealthy beyond his imagination.Everywhere he looked he saw expensive woods, intriguing original art, and superb design.He was equally disarmed by the man's affable manner.

"I'd like to know your intentions concerning Agent Scully," he said without preamble.
...
Danzig crossed to a small wet bar and poured a glass of sparkling water.His guest declined his offer and he turned to him once more."That's not why you're here."He returned to his perch on the edge of the desk.
...
It had no effect on Danzig."If you hurt her I'll kill you," he said softly through gritted teeth.

Danzig laughed.
...
prove it, Skinner," Danzig threatened before he let him go.
...
"This is not over, Danzig," Skinner said, and walked out.
...
Danzig sighed and leaned back in his chair.He knew how the man felt and he didn't want to hurt him.But he would not be denied, not when he was so close to all that he desired.The waiting, that had been the worst.Time was his greatest enemy.

She called him late that afternoon, as he hoped she would.
...
"Adam, I'm not so sure I should see you again."

"Why not?Is it Walter Skinner?"

When the line remained silent he knew he was right."Dana,
...
room. Adam would be waiting for her.

She was quiet during the ride out to Long Island in the sleek red sports car."You're thinking of him, aren't you?" he said evenly.

She sighed."I'm sorry Adam.
...
"I barely know you, Adam."

"How long does it take to know when you've found the right one?" he asked, searching her eyes for a sign.

"I'm the wrong person to ask," she said, sitting up."I have much less experience than you think."

He picked up a pomegranate and delved into the juicy seeds.
...
Adam Danzig, chemist first, engineer second, rocked against the little redhead in his bed, filled with love for the unconscious woman.He rolled off of her, sad yet pleased that the force of his passion was too great for her. He stroked her beautiful body and she stretched in her dreams like a cat.He put his hand on her belly and smiled. He wanted to see her happiness at his gift.

She woke the next morning with confused memories.The sun was shining warmly upon her and once more she lay comfortably in Danzig's arms."Adam," she said, then more forcefully."ADAM!"He woke to her frantic voice and held her close."Shh, it's all right," he murmured into her hair.

She sat up and searched for her clothes."No, it's not all right!"He watched her dress with amusement.
...
Adam, you're scaring me."

"It's Sunday.

Adam Danzig was entertaining a select group of medical researchers and was growing bored with the conversation.These men were the best and brightest, and he respected their accomplishments, but he was tired of smiling in the face of good-natured criticism of his industry.When he was just starting out he entered the debate gladly, but no longer.It was easier and less stressful to simply laugh at their politically-correct pot shots.They would only go so far, after all.They knew where their research funding came from.

So Adam Danzig, Chairman of Danzig Biologicals, smiled at their jokes and encouraged them to eat and drink at his expense.But ever so often his eyes alighted on the studious redhead seated a few tables down.Her quiet reserve and intelligent mien intrigued him.He managed to make out the title of the journal she was reading and his forced smile became real.There was a good chance she was in the city for the conference, which meant he'd see her again, and maybe have an opportunity to speak to her.

***

This was one comfortable bed, Scully thought as she reached absently for the ringing bedside phone and brought the receiver to her ear.

"Scully?"

"Mulder," she said with resignation.Damn the man. Couldn't he leave her in peace for even a single evening?"What's wrong?"

"Nothing.
...
Adam Danzig was the speaker.She recognized his name as the chairman of one of the world's largest instrumentation and drug combines.Danzig Biologicals not only had the fattest pipeline in the business, it was a prime government contractor for the analytical and diagnostic equipment the FBI labs depended on.That ultimately she depended on.She turned her attention away from his speech, which was suitably generic, and her wandering thoughts turned to the man himself.

She could not help but be impressed.He looked to be in his mid-forties.His dark hair was flecked with gray at the temples, and his strong features combined into a handsome portrait.He was tall, fit, and impeccably dressed, as befitted his salary and stock options.She briefly computed her potential lifetime earnings and frowned when she compared it to what she imagined his annual salary might be.Her mother had always teased that it was just as easy to marry a rich man as a poor one.She'd laughed then, but it didn't seem so funny now.

Adam Danzig noticed the redhead's late entry but he didn't let it show either by appearance or inflection.He continued his prepared address and tucked her presence away in the back of his mind.It wasn't until the polite applause diminished that he allowed his eyes to seek her out once more, and he was momentarily startled when he was unable to locate her in the exiting crowd.Damn!She was so tiny!But that flaming red hair was hard to hide.He relaxed and allowed himself to be drawn into conversation with the conference participants.He'd find her.
...
"Thank you, Mr. Danzig," she replied.

"Dr. Danzig, actually," he said, and she looked up at him.He held his hand out to her and she took it.
...
"Dr. Danzig."She sighed.She was too comfortable by a long shot to go out to dinner.But she liked the sound of his voice.
...
"That sounds wonderful, Adam."
...
Her thoughts turned to Adam Danzig.He was straightforward.Intelligent.Rich.Easy on the eyes.Maybe a little too used to getting his way, but she supposed that went with the territory.She liked his phone manner.More importantly, he wasn't hiding anything, and that was a novelty she wasn't about to pass up.
...
Adam opened the door for her then went around to the driver's seat.

"What the hell is THIS?"she asked, eyes wide as she cantilevered herself in, wondering just how much clearance there was between her rear and the cold, hard pavement.

"Well, it's not much fun having money if you don't get to enjoy it."He helped her with the unfamiliar seat belt configuration and smoothly put the car into first.
...
Danzig pushed open the wide double doors."Welcome to my home."He followed her in and took her coat, and it was all she could do to keep her mouth from hanging open like an unsophisticated rube.

"It's beautiful!"she exclaimed."So how many people live here?"

He laughed.
...
Dr. Danzig, remember?I'd go crazy if all I had to keep me busy were shareholders' meetings and profit and loss statements."He got up and poured himself another small glass of wine.
...
"But this feels right, Adam."

He didn't resist when she pulled him to her.He kissed her gently, the barest touch of lips, learning her contours in the cool dark.He was cautious, afraid that maybe he'd been wrong, that maybe she was just another conniving fortune hunter.But she didn't rush him, was in no hurry to claim him for her own.He moved slowly, savoring her like fine brandy, alert for any sign of insincerity or treachery.When he could sense no hidden agenda he opened the floodgates of his passion and truly kissed her, pressing her close and reaching down into her soul.She responded to him in a way he hadn't thought possible.He pushed her away.

He ran a hand through his hair and looked at her."I'm afraid, Dana.
