[Author's note: this is a latex/sensory-deprivation/medical fetish story containing depictions of full latex enclosure and catheter play. Do not attempt at home, the main character depicted has the advantage of being a highly-trained medical professional as well as being fictional, and therefore not subject to physical limitations. If you are not looking for this particular type of story, please take a look at some of my other work for something more to your taste.]

I knock and after a minute Ashley opens the door. I can tell from her face that she's apprehensive, and also there's something else, something in the way she makes direct eye contact.
"How are you?" I ask.
"Fine," she replies. "Come in, Adam."
Her eyes shift to the holdall I'm carrying. My eyes linger on her face, those honey-brown eyes in a strong, no-nonsense face. It's early still, and her dark hair cascades in a mess over her shoulders.
"We're going to need to tie that up," I say, running my hand casually through her hair as I step past her into her hallway.
"How's your week been?" I ask.
It's a loaded question. Ashley has been through hell in the last couple of years. Working all her waking hours at the hospital took its toll on her mental health and finally also her relationship. But one night after her boyfriend had been history for weeks and she was at her lowest ebb, we had a long talk and realised we had common interests.
"It's been hell," she replies, and there's a trace of a smile.
"Good," I say as we walk the length of her house into the open-plan living area at the back. "Any lapses?"
She goes over to the bi-fold doors and swings them open, admitting the warm air from her little back garden.
"Nearly," she says. "Tuesday, I got so close, but I pulled it back."
I put the bag down on the kitchen counter and unzipped it. I had chatted to her on Tuesday, talked her into a compromising position, naked on video. On the phone is always safer; it removes the temptation to abandon the plan when I see her so hot and desperate, circling her pussy lips like I told her to. I had to find some relief afterwards, I must confess. Shame about her.
"And since?" I ask.
"Last night," she says, and I can see the look of need in her face.
"Did you touch yoursef at all?"
"Yes, but I didn't go all the way. I thought it would help." She looks down, suddenly ashamed.
I take my time to admire the way her sweatshirt hangs over her breasts, above the curve of her hips in the tight grey exercise pants.
"But I'm guessing it just made you worse," I finish.
She nods. I walk towards her and lift her chin.
"Ash, I'm impressed that you made it a week. It'll be over soon," I say.
Her eyes sparkle at the prospect of release.
"Did you get what I asked for?" I say.
"Yes," she replies softly and goes to her bedroom.
When she returns, she finds me by the sink holding a tall glass of water.
"Drink up," I tell her. "Hydration is important."
She takes the glass from me and sips it, nervously.
I wait in silence for her to finish the glass, then I take it from her hand and refill it.
"And again," I say as I hand it back to her.
It takes her a minute to finish that glass. I take it and refill it.
"One more," I say as I hand it back to her.
As she drinks, I take a look at the things she's brought me from the bedroom. It's like stealing office supplies, but in her case it's a bundle of tubing and clips. I was quite intimidated the first time she showed me her secrets, but with her help I've been able to learn some basic nursing skills. I'm now probably better than any of the student nurses she complains about at work, which is very important to me because I don't want this to be ruined by a fumble on my part causing her discomfort. I see some additional items.
"Looks like you got everything," I remark, after completing my inventory.
I unplug her tall pedestal light and take it out onto her back deck. When I come back in, she's leaning against the counter watching me. I go back to the sink and take the empty glass. I fill it half-way and pass it to her.
"Drink."
She manages small sips now, but gradually I see the level decreasing in the glass. Her eyes drift down my body. I'm wearing an old t-shirt and swimshorts. When she sees the shorts I can tell that her nervousness hitches up a level.
I smile as I smooth my hand down the drip-dry fabric, and say, "I think you've figured out what I have in mind."
Ashley doesn't answer and I take her hands in mine.
"We're underway now, but if you want to stop at any time you can. Just click your fingers, or as best you can manage. I'll see that and I'll know. Okay?"
I give her a reassuring smile and receive a smile in return.
