I knew the moment I opened my eyes and saw her staring down at me; there was something about her. The light shone on her dark brown hair and glistened like amber coal in the fire. Her breasts could just be seen as her uniform fell forward, and as my eyes drifted down and took in the glistening mounds, she felt my eyes on her and a pink blush slowly crept up her cheeks. I averted my eyes and said, "What do they call you then?" She smiled, the embarrassment passing almost as fast as it had arrived. "My name is Helen Cole -- I have been assigned your case; we like to have our own patients that we take care of these days." She smiled, her pink lips slowly getting closer as she leaned forward yet again to lift my pillows up so that I could sit up and look round. Before I could say another word, she smiled and thrust a thermometer in my mouth -- "That should keep you quiet for a while." She laughed as she took my pulse, which I was sure must be so fast as her nearness sent it racing faster and faster.
I must have passed, though, because she finished her checks and went off about her business. The problem was I just could not get her out of my mind. As the day wore on she was all I could think about, watching her race around the ward, her apron rustling as she passed, then it happened. She said goodbye to the four of us women who shared the ward, and my heart sank as I realized that I would not see her again today. As she was leaving, she turned and smiled at me. "I will be back tomorrow night, see you all then." What was she thinking, I asked myself? She had a knowing look on her face, and my heart pounded so hard I thought it would jump right out of my chest.
I slept badly that night, as every time I closed my eyes, she was there leaning over me. With flesh glistening in the dark, slowly she took off her apron and began to unbutton her dress. Smiling at me and licking her lips -- I was trembling with excitement. I went to ask her how she knew, but the words were stifled as she pressed her lips on mine. Gently at first, then harder and more passionate, the curtains round the bed were pulled and the thought of getting caught just added to the excitement. She threw her dress on the chair and stood there in the half light, her black stockings held by a black suspender belt, her breasts poking out at me from the lacy bra.
Slowly she slid in bed next to me, our breathing getting faster as the anticipation was pushing us closer, my hands slid down the silky skin, her lips pushing so hard I was sure she would bruise mine, her hands began to wander over my body, first my breast, then slowly down, over my stomach. Reaching my thighs, her hand so cool and soft, gently whipping my desire to frenzy. She slowly began to slide down until her lips were showering kisses all over my body. Her breathing coming in short heavy bursts as her passion began to be all consuming, her hands were everywhere at once and we were writhing in heated passion -- how did you know, I managed to gasp out. She smiled -- simple really, you told me as you were coming out of the anesthetic. I did? I looked at her eyes wide in surprise. I fancied you from the first day you started work on the ward. And I knew if I waited, in time I would make you mine -- did you not wonder if there was a man in my life? No, I could tell you liked girls, I saw you many times trying to get in the changing room early so you could watch us getting dressed and the look of anticipation on your face. As the uniform came off, just a little slowly so you could get a good look, and then I knew you were one of us -- we don't need men, because our ability to give pleasure is that much greater. I smiled safe in the knowledge that this was true, she snuggled down, and entwined we went to sleep.
When I awoke I was bursting with joy until I realized it was but a delicious dream. Suddenly there she was with that smile, that knowing look. Walking to my side, she asked, did you have a good night? I went to answer but stopped suddenly, You know I did, don't you. She smiled and went about her business, but we both knew. Oh yes we knew.
