The nurse stood quietly next to the bed. She rested her hand on the plastic railing and wondered to herself "
Am I really considering this?"
She had heard this story before and had not once thought about helping the man who was telling it. Why was this guy any different?
Walt was in his fifties but he could have easily passed himself off as a man just entering his forties. He was definitely handsome, she had to admit that, but some of the other guys had been handsome too. That wasn't what was different about Walt. He was charming and out of all the men who had tried this before he was the first one she believed.
"So?" he asked. "Will you help me?"
Nurse Callaway started. She had drifted away, deep in thought. Sure she had fucked patients before, who hadn't? Well that wasn't a fair question. There were plenty of nurses she was sure hadn't, she was not one of them. What she hadn't done, however, was fuck a patient in the hospital and certainly not one that was still recovering from surgery.
"Walt, I can't talk about this anymore tonight. I am off in a couple of hours and I've got three more patients to see before shift change. I will make you a deal. If I am assigned to you tomorrow I will consider it."
"I can deal with that, it's a start. Please think about what I said. Nurse, I swear I can't live like this. I'd rather be dead than unable to fuck!"
"Calm down Walt. There are lots of options to deal with ED. It's not the end of the world. I need to get going. Can I get you anything else?" she asked.
"How bout a kiss?" he grinned mischievously. He knew she wouldn't kiss him but he loved to see her smile. Plus, it didn't hurt to try.
"How about you kiss my ass?"
Katie knew before she finished the sentence her choice of words were a mistake.
Walt's eyes twinkled as he leaned forward and met her gaze. He wanted her to know that he was completely serious when he said in a hushed tone, "Get a little closer and I will kiss more than that. I would love to feel you squirm under my tongue."
Katie's stomach caught fire. In her mind's eye she saw his face between her legs—his dark hair, peppered with grey around his temples, dark eyes that laughed and his smile—she was getting wet. She fought the urge to shut the door and give in to him. Instead she smiled and said "Keep dreaming Walt," as she walked into the hallway.
The following morning Katie arrived at the hospital at around 6:30. She put her purse in her locker and pulled out the lanyard with her name badge. She slipped it around her neck. She walked down to the nurse's station, ready to start the day.
"Good morning Walt. How's your foot doing this morning?"
He hit the mute button on the remote and smiled. "Looks like I am a lucky man."
"Sure does," Katie replied. She hoped that she could get through this med pass and wound check without him bringing up his request. She knew it was a long shot, but maybe he had realized he was putting her in a bad spot and would stop asking.
"Lemme see your arm", she said. She matched his wristband to the numbers on her computer and handed him the little plastic cup with two pills in it. "Are you in any pain?"
"A little", Walt replied. "Nothing major though, and no, I don't want any pain meds."
"Okay, but promise me you will let me know if it gets to be too much. I can give you a high dose ibuprofen which is non-narcotic but will still take the edge off."
"Thanks Nurse. My foot is fine. What I would rather talk about is whether you have given any more thought to my proposal."
"So much for that!"
If she was being honest with herself she would love to fuck him, but he was a patient and that made the situation much more complicated than it would have been outside the hospital. If she got caught she could lose her license and she would most certainly lose her job; although the hospital was seriously under staffed so they might let her off with a warning.
"Walt, you know I can't help you. I am really sorry but I could lose my job, my nursing license, everything I have worked so hard for. It's just not worth it. I wish I could help you, I just can't."
"I understand why you're hesitant, but I have already worked it out. I have been in this bed for over a week. I have the schedule of everyone on this floor memorized and know the perfect time to do it. I am certain no one would be the wiser. Plus I have not been able to get an erection for almost a year so really you probably have nothing to worry about. I mean, we can't really have sex if I can't even get it up."
How could she have been so dumb! She hadn't thought about that. If she believed his story that he was impotent and had been unsuccessful during his dozens of other attempts there really wasn't a huge risk. Hmmm, that definitely put a different spin on the situation.
"When is this so called "perfect" time?" she asked raising her eyebrows and using her hands to form the " " around perfect. As he explained she pulled over the rolling table with the supplies for changing the dressing on his sutures and began carefully pulling off the tape.
"At 9:30, in about an hour. At that time the physical therapists take at least half the patients on this floor to the gym and the CNA for this section goes on break. Every single day for the last week I have paid close attention to the comings and goings between the time the nurses come on and about 1 p.m.—after that there are way too many people between doctors, nursing staff and housekeeping. Between 9:30 a.m. and 10:15 not
one
person has passed my door this past week, except once and that was you on Tuesday. If you are already here there is no risk, or very little anyway."
Katie was now taping on the new dressing. When she finished she used her foot to pull the garbage can closer and began cleaning up her mess.
"We will see. Let me go check in on my other patients and I will think about it. I will be back about 9:45 and I will give you a definite answer then, ok?"
"Ok", he answered. After a slight pause he said "I swear you have got to be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I have come to believe that if you can't get me hard, no one ever will. I fantasize about those pouty lips wrapped around my shaft, about feeling the slickness of your tongue rubbing at the seam on the underside, about squeezing your tits in my hands. I don't ever get much farther than that because I get so angry at my body for not responding to those thoughts of you," he smiled ruefully. "This is my last shot. Please help me."
The last part was more of a question but Katie didn't have an answer. She needed to get out of there. The more she listened to Walt the more she wanted to kiss his mouth and feel his hands on her body. Her nipples were rock hard and she resisted the urge to move her hand to her breast. Instead she picked up her scissors and put them in the pocket of her scrub top. "I'll see you after awhile Walt, try to get some rest. All this worrying about your sexual ability isn't good for you. Is there anything I can get you?"
"Nah. I will see you at 9:45, Katie. Thanks for the foot," he smiled and she felt her defenses slip a little further.
"This is ludicrous!"
she thought.
For the next hour she moved steadily back and forth between a certain yes and a definite no as she tended to her other patients. When 9:45 rolled around she scolded herself. She tried to remember what the last patient had asked her for as she had left her room. She couldn't quite put her finger on the request. She didn't think she had heard more than a few words the woman had said. She was so caught up in her own thoughts everything else seemed unimportant. She sighed in exasperation. Walt was really getting to her. She admitted that she was definitely attracted to him. She found herself hoping that she could make him hard, that he would be well endowed and well versed in the ways of love making.
"Here goes nothing,"
she thought.
It was 10 minutes to 10 o'clock when she pushed back through Walt's door. She felt a twinge of disappointment when she saw that Walt was sleeping. She thought about making some kind of noise to wake him up but decided she had better just get back to work; it was probably for the best anyway. As she turned to go Walt spoke up, "You made it."
"Oh!" she said, surprised. "I thought you were asleep."
