Please read these Author's notes as they are intended to help make the story and timeline more understandable. I am not and have not changed anything from the original Mutant X verse. It all stands as is. Everything that happened happened so nothing's been altered.

Author's Notes: Yes this is after "A Tale Of Two Mutants" and I've decided to incorporate some stories which have Lexa in them so she will be a reoccurring character and these stories are set after season three (ep 1 will become a stand alone and I'll swap it with another story set directly after season 3). Just to clear up any confusion.

Relation to other stories: Part (ep) 4. Set after "A Tale Of Two Mutants"

Warnings: Slash, dead ahead! This story is rated M for violence, sexual themes, and some language.

Summary: While searching for mutant kidnappers the team appears to be infected with the Seven Deadly Sins.

Disclaimer: Characters aren't owned by me, just here heating up my lil story.

It's A Sin

"Ya know," Shalimar grinned running her finger up Emma's stomach to trace soft circles over the cleavage exposed through her v-neck top. "Adam said he wanted to meet us in the lab in ten minutes." She smiled so seductively practically forcing the same sexy look to take over the psionic's face. "That gives us some times to spare."

Before Emma could utter an answer the feral's tongue was following the same pattern as her finger only giving more patience when reaching her breasts. The succulence of the psionic heightened the feral's desire and she licked her lips tasting the slight sweat of the woman in her mouth before lowering her head to taste her fuller. Groaning at the deliciousness of the woman, Shalimar slid her free hand up Emma's thigh, the denim of her jeans grazing feral fingers.

A pleasurable moan came to Shalimar's ears though she couldn't tell who it had originated from nor did she care enough to contemplate the fact. Instead she concentrated on the flesh before her, running her tongue over the peeked nipple in her mouth with slow, teasing strokes. She worked with ease and patience savoring the psionic with every movement.

Emma arched her back towards the blonde allowing the feral to grip the bottom of her shirt and tug it over her head. Leaning forward Emma allowed Shalimar's arms to wrap around her, all the while her mouth being sure to stay secured to her breast, and remove the bra she'd already tugged halfway down her chest.

Keeping close contact with Emma's rigging breast Shalimar let the silk undergarment slid from her fingers and out of her mind quickly putting that free hand back to use skimming it's way up the leg beside her. As much as she'd wished to protest Shalimar's mouth soon watered with the desire of a more intimate taste and slowly her tongue was sliding it's way up the Emma's arched neck.

Keeping her head held back Emma smiled at the wetness drawing ever closer to her jaw line until soft kisses were soon replacing the feral's tongue on her skin, kissing across her chin and up her cheek.

Instinctively Emma brought her head down allowing eager lips to meet lustful ones. Wrapping an arm around the feral Emma pulled her in close dragging the blonde's entire body down onto her own pulsing one.

Shalimar smiled against the soft lips of the red head. Was it possible she tasted better with every sampling? Determined to find out, Shalimar kissed deeper extending her needy tongue as far into the psionic's mouth as she could take it drawing out the precious saliva therein only causing her to crave more with every drop.

Shalimar's hand slid the rest of the way up the psionic's inner thighs somehow finding the strength to move slowly as she neared the button of her intrusive jeans. Even through the denim Emma would swear the feral was making skin-to-skin contact with the way her whole body was buzzing for more.

Shalimar could practically feel the psionic's body begging her to continue as she finally pried the button open slowly sliding the zipper down.

Emma's breathing picked up and after a few moments she pulled herself free from the feral's lips cupping her neck to pull her in closer and stare at the hand that was teasing her pulling her closer to the edge with every second, every touch.

"Shal," her whisper was low, sexy, and seductive drawing forth a moan from the feral herself.

"Shalimar, Emma," Jesse called through the door, his voice being the last thing either one of the women wanted to hear. Knocking soon followed but each woman ignored it caring only for the woman in their arms.

"Go away," Shalimar breathed deeply against the psionic's soft skin.

"Adam's expecting you guys in the lab for mission briefing," he informed stopping for a second outside the door allowing an imaginative grin to cover his face before heading back down the hall.

"Emma, Shalimar," Adam's voice came through their comlinks and the women knew it was pointless to try and deny their responsibilities.

"What is it, Adam?" Emma asked gasping as she said the words.

"I wanna see you both in the lab immediately."

"Ok we'll be there in a sec," she informed. "I guess we better get going."

"He can wait," Shalimar protested trying to prolong the moment as long as she could.

Knowing she had to put a stop to the feral's actions if she hoped to speak seriously to her Emma put a halting hand on the feral's shoulder and inched herself out from under the woman to sit up and she noticed the disappointed look in her lover's eyes.

"Come on, Shal, the sooner we get it over with the sooner we can get back to this," Emma promised pulled Shalimar's head in for a kiss.

Emma flashed her trademark grin before sliding her legs over the edge of the bed and standing up. The sight of her buttoning her jeans informed the feral of the unfortunate truth that their little rendezvous was now over and she hung her head at the knowledge before joining the psionic on he floor.

Running her hands under her furled hair Emma straightened herself up and headed for the door holding it for the feral to follow as the two made their way into Adam's lab where Brennan, Jesse, Lexa, and Adam were already waiting.

"Hey, Lexa, when did you get in?" Shalimar asked looked to the brunette leaning on the counter.

"Just got here actually. You look nice," Lexa complimented.

"Thanks. So, Adam, what's this dire emergency that couldn't wait 'til later," Shalimar asked shooting a glare at the psionic beside her.

Punching up some numbers on the computer twenty profiles and locations popped up on the display screen with each of the mutants paying close attention.

"In the last few weeks twenty known individuals have gone missing and in a few cases turned up dead. All these people were mutants classified in our mutant database. This last one was working with a friend of mine," Adam continued to explain as the young woman's picture was enlarged on the screen. "She was found dead two nights ago by the docks. Now before she died she contacted my friend with some vital information on who had kidnapped her."

Continuing to type a new profile was brought up on the screen this time of a young man in his early thirties.

"Jack Robinson, a scientist who used to work with Eckhart a long time ago until he was kicked out for having too many crazy ideas and putting the company's genetic research in jeopardy because of them."

"Wait a minute," Brennan intervened. "Sounds like he shoulda been Eckhart's employee of the month not sent into exile."

Nodding his head in agreement Adam continued, "Exactly which gives you some kind of idea as to what kind of character this is if Eckhart didn't want his on his staff. Since parting ways he's been freelancing and has been in hiding in an unknown location until now that we've got this lead on him."

"What lead?" Emma asked.

"Well when Jessica called my friend she was able to get a track on her location at the time. Apparently he's built up his genetic labs and found funding for his research we suspect by being responsible for some bank robberies a few years ago. He's set up work in town and has been kidnapping new mutants to use as guinea pigs for his new project. That's why I want to shut him down. He's already responsible for the kidnapping, testing of, and possibly death of twenty new mutants in this month alone that we're aware of."

"Sounds like this creep needs to be taught a lesson," Lexa agreed getting her confident look on.

"Right. I want you to take the Helix to the last known location Jessica was at as well as suspected locations he's operating from. I'll upload the coordinates to the Helix," Adam informed.

"Sounds like a plan, let's go," Brennan said patting Jesse on the back as he turned to leave the lab.

Smiling Jesse followed the man out of the room. Shalimar sighed and grabbed Emma's side sliding her hand lower to get a full feel of the woman.

"Guess we better get goin' too. So we can get home sooner," Shalimar grinned at the woman taking her hand and leading her out of the room to join the other in the helix.
