It was 4 am; the rush of the witching hour was over in ER. We were exhausted and yet still hyped from the adrenaline coursing through our system from yet another life saving experience just a few minutes ago.
"God, I am so wired!" Kirby says to me.
"I know what you mean. That was awesome work you did."
"Oh please. I loved how you told that young pup to step out of the way and let you insert that tube. Asshole."
"I'll probably get fired for it."
"Maybe just raked over the coals." Kirby turned to me, a hand on mine. I smiled at her, she smiled back. Our eyes locked. And we stayed that way, the smiles slowly relaxing but our eyes searching, boring into each other's, communicating without words.
I broke the spell. "Come with me." I took the hand that was squeezing mine and pulled her into a vacant room. Leaving the lights off, I spun Kirby against the wall and pressed my mouth over hers. She resisted at first but with my hands traveling all over her nurse uniform, squeezing and stroking and with my lips parting and the tongue sliding out, Kirby could not resist long.
