“They did something while I was out of it, and it brought back memories. Memories of you.”
Diana confirmed “That’s exactly what he told us.”
“So…you did some sort of sex thing? Like what?”
Ellie said “I got an idea one day. I took off my underwear and straddled him, right up to his face, and told him he could have it if he came back.”
Carol was taken aback. “And did he…get it?”
“A promise is a promise. He said it brought back memories of you. And let me tell you, he certainly thought of you the whole time. It appears you two have had a healthy sex life.”
“So, did you fuck?”
Ellie was quick to answer. “Yes. Once. Just me. You are one lucky woman, let me tell you.”
“I was a bit woozy when I woke up, but remembered something about a promise. And a smell. I thought you were with me, it was so similar. Please don’t hold it against Ellie for what she did. It was due to her that I’m sitting here today. If you had thought of doing what she did they wouldn’t even be here right now. There would be nothing to talk about.”
“We’ll, it guess it’s not like I’m your first, and you weren’t my first, so if that’s all there is to it then I’m fine with it.”
Ellie said “If it’s any consolation, I never took any of my clothes off except my underwear. It was a gift, not a real sexual encounter.”
“A gift. Hmm. How about I give you another gift when you get home.”
“Promise you’ll take off everything so I can feast on your body?”
“As the girl said, a promise is a promise, and I’m promising”
“I ‘m so horney I want to fuck you until neither one of us can move. I want to eat you until your pussy feels ready to explode. I want to kiss you like there’s no tomorrow. I’ve learned life is precious and want to live it to the fullest.”
“I think I’m going to be very happy to have you back home. I’m wet just talking about it.”
Diana said “If you two want a little privacy we’ll just mosey along.”
Carol touched Ellie’s arm. “Thanks for bringing him back, whatever it took.”
Ellie smiled. “It’s just part of the job.”
Towards the end of the summer Helen pulled them aside one afternoon. “I know you showed me what you intended to do and I gave it my blessing. It appears, however that you have gone beyond what you said you’d do.”
“What do you mean,” Ellie asked.
“I think you know exactly what I mean. Mrs. Abernathy talked to her hairdresser who is a neighbor of mine, and told her about how you awakened her sexual feelings. Allison Bolton is a member of my gym and in my Pilates class, but doesn’t know me as a nurse. She bragged about how two volunteer girls got her husband to be a husband again by some sort of sexual favors. Now, explain to me just what is going on. If you’re having sex with patients, that is a serious breach of hospital rules. If so I’ll not be able to give you good recommendations to nursing school.”
Diana said “There’s a vacant patient room down the hall. Why don’t we go there and talk?”
When they were settled Diana explained how their massages had sometimes gone beyond what they were intended, generally just using hands as the patient directed. “It was the patient that initiated everything. Nothing was gratuitous or forced. Nothing was even suggested by either of us.”
