"Quake"Page 5!!!

Leopold walked Steph to an empty room and watched as she laid down, she was asleep almost instantly. He then left to go back on patrol, he had been in the area, so he stopped in to check on Dezmond. He really was worried about him, but he would not let her see that. Leopold knew Dezmond was a very strong man, but some things could not be overcome by physical strength. So he knew that Dezmond had a real fight ahead of him, he just hoped this was one fight that Dezmond won.

A short while after Steph went to get some sleep, the night nurse came in to check Dezmond. Nurse Tracy had been given the rundown of his condition, but she had not seen this patient yet. She walked up to him and stopped, he was the most breathtakingly handsome man she had ever seen, she could not believe how handsome this man, Wil Dezmond, it said on the chart, was. She had been told by the doctor, that he needed as much physical and vocal stimulation as possible, so she checked his IV and the chest tube, what a beautiful body this man had too. Then she began to caress his stomach, carefully working her way to his shoulders and neck. She kissed his shoulder, then his neck, nibbling gently, feeling his weakened pulse under her lips. She moved to his chin, kissing gently at first, then putting it in her mouth and caressing it with her tongue. She was really enjoying this, it was more than she was supposed to do, but she could not help herself.

Nurse Tracy then took the big step and captured his mouth with hers, kissing him deeply, nibbling on his lower lip, tasting his lips, trying to give him as much stimulation as possible. She didn't know if he had someone to give him this, so she was going to do it for now. She was a nurse afterall and if this was what she had to do, to help him, then she would, she was thoroughly enjoying it anyway. He was wonderful, his lips were so soft and full. She could only imagine how wonderful the kiss would be if he responded to it. She continued to kiss him for a few more minutes, then a small aftershock hit and she pulled away, realizing that she had other patients to check on, so she reluctantly left, but she intended to come back, very soon.

5 hours later, Steph woke and returned to Wil's room, she moved over to him, reaching to take his hand. He didn't appear to have improved any, she had truly hoped he would have improved. She began her ritual of touching and kissing him, she ran her hand over his shoulder,still holding his hand, with her other hand. Then she moved her hand up to his neck, running her fingers along his jaw, then caressing his cheek. She then began to kiss him, starting at his shoulder, then up to his neck, she loved his neck, it was one of the sexiest things about him. she began to nibble and suck on his neck, she felt his pulse under her lips, it seemed stronger. She continued kissing him, reaching his earlobe, sucking it into her mouth and caressing it with her tongue. God she wished he was awake to respond to this, it would be incredible if he could reciprocate.

She moved up, kissing his jaw, running her tongue along it. Nurse Josey happened to be passing by, she stopped and watched what Stephanie was doing, feeling very jealous. She watched her continue, Steph moved her mouth over his cheek, up to his forehead, then kissed each of his eyes. Then she ran her tongue down his nose, capturing the tip in her mouth, caressing and sucking it softly. Finally she took his mouth, she started by nibbling on his lower lip. then sucked it into her mouth, caressing it with her tongue. Then she slipped her tongue into his mouth as she lowered her mouth over his, she moved her tongue under his, gently caressing the area where his tongue, joined the bottom of his mouth, working her tongue slowly around. As she pressed her lips harder against his soft, full lips, she was beginning to drive herself crazy, this felt so good.

Nurse Josey was watching in amazement, this woman with Mr. Dezmond really knew what she was doing, but Josey really wanted to be in her place. Suddenly Josey realized what time it was, so she left to go back on duty, feeling very jealous and unhappy that she would not get to kiss him again, she desperately wanted to kiss him again, he had felt so good to her, she wound up reliving the kiss in her mind, for the rest of the day.

Stephanie continued kissing him, running her tongue under his again, she thought she heard him moan, but she wasn't sure. Then as she continued, he squeezed her hand and, as he became more aware, began to return the kiss. Steph started to cry, she was so happy that he was coming around. He was suddenly kissing her deeply and with more strength than she would have thought possible. She pulled away from him and he slowly opened his eyes, Steph thought it was so wonderful to see those incredible green eyes again, "Oh Wil, I am so happy your awake, I was afraid I was going to lose you." "Never my sweet Stephanie, it would take more than this to kill me." He whispered, Steph smiled, "I'm going to get the doctor, he wanted to know when you woke." She quickly left the room.

She was so happy that Wil was awake and knew his surroundings, she knew in her heart that he would be ok. She found the doctor and went back to his room, his eyes were closed, but he opened them as soon as he heard them. The doctor looked him over, removing the chest tube and some of the tubes in his arm, then came back to her,"He will be fine, it will take time to recover fully, but he will." "Thank you so much doctor, that is wonderful." The doctor then left, so they could be alone. Wil held out his hand to her, she took it and he pulled her to him, pulling her close, she was careful to avoid pressure on his chest. She instead put her hand on his stomach, feeling the strong muscles under her hand. He put his hand on her back and pulled her to him, kissing her gently, then slowly made it deeper, she knew beyond a doubt now, that he would be fine.
