They meet again when his own life hangs in the balance. (MF, oral, rom) *** "Ambulance six." "Ambulance six at Speer and Broadway." "Ambulance six respond to Le Crepe restaurant at 14th and Larimer on a party short of breath." "14th and Larimer. Copy and en route." "Watch for Pumper-1 responding with you." "Copy." We were less than two minutes away. The pumper crew should have the story by the time we arrived. As soon as we pulled up I grabbed the bag and headed inside with my partner while the firefighters brought the stretcher. The Captain met us at the door and reported a young female was having an apparent allergic reaction and was barely able to breath. When I got to her side, she was supine on the floor, wheezing audibly, her color was ashen and her lips were cyanotic. The firefighters were just getting the oxygen on her. Bending over her so she could see my face, I asked, "Are you able to talk?" She shook her head 'no'. The poor girl was terrified. I listened to her chest with my stethoscope and verified she was barely moving air. Respiratory arrest was imminent if we didn't fix it quickly. "What's her pressure?' I asked my partner. "Systolic is 58 and the monitor shows bradycardia at 32." Damn, I thought. Her heart's about to poop out. While my partner was trying to get an IV started, I leaned down and took her face in my hands to make her look at me. "Miss, my name's Kevin. I'm a paramedic. I need to do something to make it easier for you to breathe. Do you understand?" Her eyelids were at half- mast but she nodded her head. "OK, Miss, listen to me. I'm going to pass a plastic tube through your nose and into your airway. It's going to be very uncomfortable for you but it's important that you don't fight me, OK? As you feel the tube entering your nose, just keep swallowing. Do you understand?" She didn't respond at all this time. She was losing consciousness and I needed to move quickly. I took a 6.5 ET tube out of my bag and smeared the end with lidocaine gel. Tilting her head slightly forward, I passed the tube through the nostril and into her throat. She didn't even flinch; she was out. Her efforts to breathe were weak but still effective enough that by putting my ear to the end of the tube, I could follow the sound of her breath to the opening to the larynx. On the next inhalation, I pushed it through, advanced it down into her trachea and inflated the cuff with ten cc's of air. A firefighter already had the bag hooked up to the O2 and ready to go. I began to inflate her lungs but I was pushing against a lot of resistance. "Her veins are collapsed," my partner said. "I can't get a line in her. Should I give her .5 of epi sub-q?" "I don't think her circulations is good enough to disperse it. Give me 10 cc's, I'll push it down the tube." I squirted the epinephrine down the tube and continued to inflate her lungs. Gradually, the resistance eased and I was able to get more air into her. I checked the cardiac monitor and saw that her heart rate was picking up and was now at 86. As her brain began to re-perfuse, she started to wake up and began coughing against the tube in her throat. As her eyes focused on my face I said, "Miss, you're starting to breathe better now. Do you understand?" She nodded her head. "I know you don't like this tube in your throat but we need to leave it in place until we get to the hospital." Turning to the fire crew, I said, "OK, guys. Let's get her into the ambulance. Captain, thanks for you help. Good work as usual. Have one of the waitresses put this girl's meal in a carry-out carton so we can get it analyzed for allergens at the hospital." By the time we arrived at the emergency department, the patient was fully conscious. I gave my report to the triage nurse as we moved her into a treatment room. The Doc quickly auscultated her chest and confirmed she was moving air well and her level of consciousness was good. She leaned down to the patient and said, "Miss, you're doing OK now. We're going to take this tube out and it may make you want to vomit." The cuff was deflated and the tube removed without too much discomfort. I breathed a little sigh of relief. "OK, Doctor Haddad, I'll go write my report." "Thanks, Kevin. Nice work!" The rest of my shift passed without anything nearly as intense. I turned the rig over to the next crew and headed through the ER on my way to the parking lot. As I passed one of the treatment rooms, a hoarse, raspy voice called "Kevin!" I looked in and saw it was the young lady with the allergy. She was sitting up, dressed in one of the hospital's high-fashion gowns and looking so much better with some color in her cheeks and some life in her eyes. "Hi! Glad to see you're doing so well. Are they going to cut you loose pretty soon?" "Yeah, when my mom gets here to pick me up." She could only speak in a whisper; pretty common after having a tube pushed through your vocal cords. "Doctor Haddad said you saved my life. I just wanted to thank you. I wish there was some way I could show my appreciation." "You're more than welcome. It's what we do." "I know, but I want to say thank you anyway. My name is Millie," she smiled holding out her hand. "Doctor Haddad told me your first name but she said it was against policy to give out full names." I took the offered hand. "Yeah, it's just a way to help keep our work in the workplace. You know, a certain level of anonymity. My last name is Mendel. What's the allergy that caused all this?" "I'm allergic to iodine. I didn't order anything with seafood but there must have been some in what I ate. I intend to see that the restaurant pays all my medical expenses." "I doubt you'll get much of an argument from them, Millie, especially if they're looking at a possible big, fat law suit. Well, I'm really happy to see you're doing so well. Nothing personal but I hope we don't meet again." It's an old joke in the business but it gets a laugh anyway. I left and headed home by way of the Red Garter bar for a couple of beers and some socializing. I was hoping Darla, one of the ER nurses would be there. We've been close friends for years and sometimes she's amenable to a tumble in the hay if I look like I'm pathetically in need. We'd been an item at one time but wound up deciding mutually that, while we loved the sex, living in the same space didn't suit either of us. I asked Luis, the bartender if he'd seen her and he said she was going to be out of town for a few days attending a trauma conference. It looked like a quiet night ahead. *** After my shift the next afternoon, I was on my way to the parking lot across the street from the hospital when someone called my name. I looked around and saw a young lady waving to me as she got out of her car and crossed the street. It took me a few seconds to place the face... it was Millie, the girl with the allergy. "Millie! Hi, how are you feeling? I see you got your voice back." She was wearing jeans and a pale yellow tank top, both of which she filled out very nicely. Really a great looking girl with short-cropped black hair, beautiful pale blue eyes and a face you might see in a fashion ad. Add a few freckles across her nose. "Yeah, just a little sore throat but, believe me, I'm not complaining," she laughed. "Kevin, I'm really glad I caught you. I was wondering if you'd like to come over to my place for dinner some time." She saw the hesitation in my face. "Umm, you could bring your girlfriend or your wife or whoever. I just wanted to show my appreciation somehow." "I don't have either, Millie. It's not that, but it is kind of an ethical dilemma for me. Let me explain. What you went through yesterday was a terrible thing, physically and emotionally very challenging. It's not uncommon for someone who went through what you did to feel a strong attachment to anyone who helped them through it, but it can make them emotionally vulnerable. "If it was perceived by anyone that I somehow took advantage of that vulnerability, not only would I feel terrible about it, I could lose my job. Believe me, if I had met you under any other circumstances, I would have been wracking my brain to come up with a way to get to know you a lot better. I can't tell you how much it means to me to hear you express you thanks, it rarely happens in this business, but I have to say no thank you to your invitation." She looked just a little bit put out. "Is that a rehearsed speech?" she asked mildly. "No, Millie, it's not. Please don't think I'm being patronizing and please don't be angry with me. I happen to think you are a very attractive woman in every way and the temptation to take you up on your offer strains my limits, but it just wouldn't be right, not this soon after your ordeal. If you baked cookies for me, I'd gladly accept them and share them with my partner and the pumper crew who were also there to help pull you out of a disaster." After thinking about it for a few seconds, Millie sighed and then smiled. "My dad's a lawyer, Kevin, so I've been taught all about 'the perception of impropriety'. I can see now how my invitation might put you in a tight spot. I just want you to know that I'll never forget what you did. Thanks again for giving me back my life." She leaned forward and kissed my cheek, then turned and ran back across the street to her car. *** A week later I walked into the office to check my mailbox before my shift. The Chief saw me come in and waved me into his office. "Kevin, that box there on the chair is for you. A real knockout of a woman brought it in yesterday afternoon and asked me to make sure you got it, so, there you are." "Thanks, Chief. Did she leave a message or say who she was?" "No, but I told her you'd be on duty today if she wanted to see you. She said it was too soon, whatever that means." I made the connection immediately and smiled. I was sure I knew what was inside, and I was right; two dozen scrumptious looking homemade tollhouse cookies. There was a note inside the box as well. It said, 'These are for some very special people in my life. Let me know when it's not too soon'. The note had her phone number on it. When my partner arrived, I gave him six and asked him to stop by Fire Station 1 so I could drop a dozen off for the pumper crew. A hundred times since I last saw Millie, I kicked myself for turning down her invitation, but I still knew it was the right thing to do. That didn't stop me from fantasizing about her every time I felt particularly horny. When we got to the firehouse, the Captain on Pumper-1 laughed and said we were too late because Millie had dropped off a box of cookies for them as well. What a sweetheart. My day went rapidly downhill after that. Our first call was to the east side of the city on a domestic dispute with possible weapons involved. These are the calls emergency responders dread the most because we never have any idea what we're going to walk in on. Two police units pulled up to the scene at the same time we did. Our policy is to wait outside while the police make initial contact and then enter if we're needed. There was a lot of screaming from inside, then a voice, presumably a cop, shouted "Drop the weapon!" At the same time I heard the gunshots, the front window of the house blew out and I felt like I'd been kicked in the chest by a mule, falling back against the side of the ambulance. When my partner turned around to see what had happened, his eyes got like saucers. "Holy shit, Kevin, you've been shot!" I looked down and saw a hole had been punched in my white shirt just under my right clavicle. The pain hadn't really kicked in yet but I knew I was in trouble. "Shit! Call for a second ambulance, Jerry! And get an IV started on me now. And some O2, I'm starting to feel a little short of breath." Everything moved very quickly after that. The police had taken down the shooter and he was dead inside the house. The second ambulance had arrived within five minutes (although it seemed like an hour) and had me in the ER ten minutes after that. I was really happy to see Dr. Haddad's face looking down at me in the trauma room. "You're doing OK, Kevin. Your pressure is good and so is your O2 sat. You've got a pneumothorax and free blood in your chest so, as you know, we're going to have to put in a chest tube. Dr. Cohen is on the way down to evaluate you and get you ready for surgery if that's what they decide to do. Is there anyone you want us to call?" "Umm, not right now. I'll call my mom after the surgery when I can give her some good news." Dr. Haddad leveled one of her infamous disapproving looks at me. "I'm a mother, Kevin, and I'm pretty sure she might not appreciate your consideration, but I'll leave that up to you." As the anesthetic wore off in the recovery room, my shoulder and my chest began to throb. My mom had been called in spite of my request and was sitting beside me. Her tears splashed on my face when she kissed me on the forehead. "Take it easy, Mom. I'll be fine." "I know, Kevin. I've already spoken to Dr. Cohen. I'm just so happy to see you looking back at me and to hear your voice." The recovery room nurse injected something into my IV line and said, "This is something for the pain and we're going to put you back to sleep now. You'll be in the ICU overnight, then we'll move you to a private room." I really did get a private room. Hospital policy was, if a private room were available, any cop, firefighter or medic injured in the line of duty would get it. An even nicer surprise was who was waiting for me when they wheeled me in. It was Millie! And damned if she wasn't crying too. Between her and my mother, you would have thought it was a wake. Taking the offered hand, I chided, "Hey, take it easy. The bullet didn't do nearly as much damage as it might have and I'm going to be just fine, OK?" "Don't be so darned clinical," she came back, sniffling. "It's a woman's prerogative to be emotional. Jeez, Kevin, I almost died when I heard about it on the news. They reported that you had been taken to the hospital in critical condition. I came right away but they wouldn't allow any visitors to the ICU." She leaned over and planted a kiss on my lips. "Mmm!" I smiled and licked my lips. "That's good medicine but you might need to up the dosage." Mom broke in with a chuckle. "Ahem! I hope I'm not intruding on a private moment." "No, Mom, you're not. This is Millie Carter, a former patient and now my friend. Millie, this is my mother, Beth Mendel." "I'm so happy to meet you Mrs. Mendel. Your son may not have told you that he truly saved my life last week. The news of his injury floored me and I just had to come and see him." "No, Millie, he never talks about his work. I only get second hand reports of his good deeds." I had to break in before it got too deep. "OK, OK, ladies, enough already! By the way Millie, thanks for the great cookies. I managed to stuff a couple of them down before my day went south." By the time I'd described all the gory details of the shooting, I was getting pretty tired. Both of them said they'd be back later. A detective from the police department came in and took a statement. There was nothing I could add that they didn't already know but they needed it for the record. I remember thinking as I drifted off to sleep that maybe the current circumstances might mitigate my earlier ethical dilemma. *** On the fourth day after my surgery, Dr. Cohen came into my room while Millie was visiting and said that everything looked so good that he'd be happy to cut me loose to go home but only if there was someone there to watch after me and make sure I stayed relatively inactive for at least another week. I'd already been up walking for the past three days with a sling holding my right arm in place and I was getting anxious to leave the hospital. Three quarters of the paramedic division and several firefighters had visited and, while I was appreciative, it was all pretty tiring. I said I supposed that I could stay at my mom's house for a few days. Millie broke into the conversation and said, "Oh, let me do it, Kevin. There's a spare bedroom at my place. I've got tons of vacation time saved up and I'm a pretty good cook." I was about to graciously beg off but when I saw the expectant look in her eyes, my resolve faded away. "Well, Mom does have a business to run so, if you don't think it would be too much trouble..." "No trouble at all. OK, it's settled then. When can he leave, Dr. Cohen?" The good doctor looked at me and then at Millie and grinned like a Cheshire cat. "I'll go sign you out now. You know what to look for, Kevin, so if anything doesn't feel right, get your butt back here on the double, OK? Maybe I should add, 'mild physical activity only'." Millie went to get her car while an orderly provided the obligatory wheelchair ride to the hospital entrance. We stopped by my apartment and packed some clothes and personal items for my stay. Millie lived in an awesome apartment on the twelfth floor of a high-rise condo overlooking the park. Her spare bedroom was larger than my living room. "This is beautiful! I see you live in the upper stratum of society." "My parents do... I don't. This place belongs to my dad. He bought it as an investment when property prices were going nuts. When the bottom dropped out of the condo market, he said he was damned it he was going to give it away and said I could live here until he could at least break even on it. My own personal ways and means are a lot more humble. Like you, I work for a living and I never ask my folks for money and I insist on paying rent on the apartment. My dad thinks it's stupid but I moved out of my parent's house to be independent and independent I shall be." "Good for you. A girl after my own heart," I praised, patting her on the shoulder. "I hope so," she said impishly. "OK, let's get your shoes off and you can lie back for a little rest while I unpack your stuff. That control there on the nightstand will raise and lower the head of the bed. I'm guessing that lying flat isn't very comfortable for you." "Thanks, and you right. This will be a lot more comfortable than trying to sleep on a stack of pillows. If it's all right with you, I'd really like to take a hot shower first. I just need a little help with this sling and then I can one-hand it from there." She unstrapped the sling and unbuttoned my shirt, sliding it off my left arm first and then the right so I wouldn't have to raise my right arm. There was still a large bruise on the right side of my chest around the bullet wound. "Ooh! That looks sore," she said, lightly tracing her fingers around the scabbed-over entry wound. "Not as sore as it looks. Dr. Cohen actually went into my chest through here." I pointed to a one-inch line of stitches under my arm. "The bullet was lodged between two ribs and only nicked the top of my lung. As long as I don't overdo it, everything should be good as new in another week. Then it's just a matter of getting strength and mobility back in the shoulder. You can help me with that by passively moving it around three or four times a day." "You got it! You just show me what to do and I'll do it. The shower is right through that door. Are you sure you don't need some help with that?" I arched my eyebrow, Snidely Whiplash-fashion and said in my most lecherous voice, "Heh, heh. Don't tempt me, Dearie; you might get more than you bargained for." I finished undressing in the bathroom and stepped into the shower, turning the water on as hot as I could tolerate it. It felt so good to just stand there with the heat spraying on my neck and shoulders. I just closed my eyes, hoping she had a huge hot water tank. Imagine my surprise when the shower door opened and Millie stepped inside to join me holding a little plastic stool. I was so flustered, I just stood there gawking at her until she started laughing. She had the most exquisite body! She was slim without being skinny and had perfectly shaped breasts, a classic hourglass figure, a dense little triangle of a black bush; a total package to die for. "Kevin, put your eyes back into your head. I'm just doing my duty as your nurse. You do need your back washed don't you?" I might have taken her more seriously if she hadn't been giggling. She set the stool down in the middle of the shower. "Turn around and sit down so I can wash your hair." One doesn't stand in the way of a woman on a mission of mercy, so I did as I was told, partially because the blood flow to my dick was surging and, in spite of my willing it otherwise, the old boy was rapidly becoming very prominent. She wet my hair with the hand-held sprayer and squeezed a big glop of shampoo into it, working up a rich lather and rinsing it clean. Squirting a puddle of body wash into her hand, she began soaping my back and arms, being very gently around the right shoulder. She reached over me and, pressing her beautiful breasts against my back, soaped up my chest, getting a birds-eye view of the manifestation of my growing sexual excitement. In a pitiful attempt at humor, I smiled up at her and said, "I, umm, suppose you nurses see this kind of thing all the time." She kissed me on the forehead and breathed into my ear in this sexy, Marilyn Monroe-type voice, "Oh, yes Sir, but hardly ever such nice ones. Could I offer you some help with that? I can see it needs some tending to." Setting the spray nozzle in its holder, Millie stepped in front of me and kneeled down. First, she took my face in her hands and planted a long and passionate kiss on my lips, teasing them with the tip of her tongue. Then, she leaned forward and kissed the wound on my chest, trailing her fingers down my belly and taking a firm grasp of my turgid cock and slowly moving her hand up and down its length. "Remember, Dr. Cohen said you're restricted to mild physical activity for a few more days, so you just sit there and relax while I see to your wellbeing." Sliding the foreskin over the engorged head, she first kissed it, licked it, then took it and about two or three inches of the shaft into her mouth. I'd had blowjobs before but this just seemed extra special. The fingers of my left hand combed through her wet hair and caressed her shoulders while my right hand gently massaged her breasts. Her mouth slid down, taking what it could of my cock and swirled her tongue around the head every time she came back up, pumping the rest of my length with one hand while she caressed and massaged my balls with the other. "Millie, I'm not going to last very long at this rate." My breathing was already ragged and I could feel my balls pulling up against my crotch. She turned her adorable face up to me and smiled. "I know. This is just to take the edge off. We'll have plenty of time for longer therapy sessions as you get better." She took my cock back into her mouth and began working it over with enthusiasm, bringing me to an intense orgasm within a minute. "There you are," again in her Marilyn Monroe voice, "I hope that makes you feel better, Sir." "You'll never know, you sweet thing. When do I get to make you feel better?" "In due time, good Sir, in due time. Now let's get you dried off and into bed for a little nap." *** Millie turned out to be a competent nurse and physical therapist. She helped me improve the range of motion of my right shoulder and arm with passive movement and wasn't the least bit intimidated by my groans and complaints. Every morning before breakfast, we took the elevator down to the pool and exercise room for a one-hour workout that included weights (as much as I could handle) and a water aerobics routine. She wasn't about to let me get soft and flabby lying around on my backside in front of a television. Of course, my favorite exercise regimen was the sex; each session was more vigorous than the one before. We made love in her bed but I still slept in mine to keep my upper body elevated. Our first night was a major test of my restraint. She's so sexy and desirable that I just wanted to ravage her. After a tasty dinner of stir-fried veggies over brown rice pilaf and a nice white wine, we took a long walk through the park, laughing at everything whether it was funny or not and exploring each other's pasts. Back at the apartment, she put on some nice music and massaged my back, neck and shoulders while we continued our idle chatting. I can't, for the life of me recall what we talked about but it really doesn't matter since our soul objective was just to be together. Around ten, she took my hand and said, "How about we get really personal for a while." I stood by the bed as she first lit a couple of candles and turned off the lights, then took her time stripping me bare, one item at a time. She started by unstrapping my sling. Each button of my shirt that she unbuttoned was an occasion for a little kiss on the lips, and each button on my Levis was an occasion for a little kiss on my belly. After I was bare-assed naked and obviously ready for business, she strapped the sling back on. "I don't want you reaching out and hurting yourself in the heat of passion. I'm the boss here so I get to select the program and set the pace. Agreed?" "Yes, Ma'am!" I couldn't help laughing. "Could we just get on with it, please?" With her two hands aided by my one free hand, we got her naked as well. In this case, each article of clothing we dropped on the floor was an occasion for a little kiss on her lips, then her breasts, her belly, her tush and her bush, in that order. She sat on the edge of the bed and leaned back, spreading her legs to give me a full view of what I lusted after and taunted, "Are you feeling up for a little dessert?" "As you can plainly see, Ms. Carter, I'm very definitely up." I knelt on the lush carpet and slid my left hand under her butt, pulling her to me as I buried my nose in her sex and inhaled a musky aroma that had just a hint of something fruity about it. Peaches. She inhaled sharply as my tongue slid up her moist, erect labia and teased her clitoris. "Yummy," I growled, "This has got to be the best dessert ever." Pressing my face into her and assaulting her enthusiastically with my tongue sent her soaring to her first orgasm of the night within minutes, accompanied by a series of little moans and reaching a crescendo in a long, vocal sigh of passion, drenching my face and the sheet underneath her in her juices. "Oh, Mr. Mendel," she gasped, "You are true to your profession. If that couldn't bring someone back from the brink of death, nothing could! Get up here, Sir and take your medicine!" It was almost a shame to break the spell, but I had to say it. "Uh, I don't have any condoms, so I'll need to pull out before I come." "Like hell you will! I'm on the pill and have been since I was sixteen. I want to feel you buried up to my belly button when you unload, Buster." The only way my grin could have been wider is if my mouth had been surgically altered. 'The Boss' positioned me on my back and straddled my waist. "This is going to be the slowest fuck you've ever experienced, Mr. Mendel, so get comfortable, close your eyes and get ready for a little bit of down-and-dirty sex. The girl doesn't tell lies! Beginning with a long, wet kiss complete with dueling tongues, this vixen convinced me she could have trained aspirants to the most high-class brothels in the world. A continuous bounty of little kisses, licks, nuzzles and finger strokes while she slid her slippery sex over a penis straining to attain even greater size held me in a state of passion that words simply cannot do justice to. Over the next hour, I don't believe there was a reachable spot on my body she didn't lick or caress. As she moved down my body from my face to my chest then my belly, she moved her body and rolled her shoulders so that her breasts were always moving across some part of me. I was reminded of a mother cat cleaning her kittens, the way she covered me with her tongue. Every time I thought she was going to take hold of my cock or lick it, she moved somewhere else, driving me crazy with lust. After a quarter of an hour of this merciless teasing, she turned around, presenting me with a perfect view of where I wanted my cock to be and began her mother cat simulation from my toes upward. As she moved up my legs, I managed to get in a few licks of my own as her swollen sex passed over my face. Somehow she managed to never break the spell by touching or bumping my right shoulder. When she finally reached my groin, she reversed her position again and lay her breasts on my legs, licking the highly sensitive area under my balls and then sucking them into her mouth one at a time as her soft little hand encircled my penis and moved up and down at an agonizingly slow pace. The moment came for her to take me inside her. Our eyes locked and she grinned, "You're peeking, Mister." "Can't help it, Lady. You have to be experienced with all the senses." My perfect angel rose up onto her knees and guided my cock to her dripping, steamy opening and very slowly settled herself, letting me ease into her until I was stretching the farthest end of her vagina. There she sat, not moving up and down even a half inch, but rhythmically squeezing me with her vaginal muscles for several minutes. Our eyes remained locked as she finally began to slide up until I almost slipped out, then down again, taking nearly my entire length, repeating this movement at a glacial pace. Every time she felt me tensing up and moving against her, she would stop and kiss me until the moment passed, then begin again. At long last, she leaned down and whispered in my ear, "OK, Sir Kevin, my true knight in shining armor, you can let it go now." Her hands on either side of my head, Millie began riding my cock, gradually picking up the rate and bringing my sense of urgency to a fantastic high before we both exploded in orgasms that defy description. She lay on my body as we tried to catch our breath, her vagina refusing to let go of my gradually softening member. Kissing my eyes, my nose, then my lips, she gave me a little pixie grin and asked, "Having any sense of 'perceived impropriety' now?" "Not a one, Miss Carter. There's no way in hell what you just did to me could be considered improper; exquisite torture, maybe, even sinful in the best possible way but never improper. If that's openers, I can't even wrap my brain around what the future holds. You just wait until my body is fully functional again. Maybe I'll give you a lesson or two in truly lascivious sex." *** A month earlier I would have never believed how much my world was going to change. I'd met a woman who felt like the soul mate everyone hopes for. I'm not naïve, I know nothing is forever but Millie and I seemed so intensely attracted to each other it was hard to imagine us not being together. The gunshot to my chest illuminated a sense of my own mortality that most people my age rarely experience. It certainly was cause for me to re-evaluate where I was and where I was going in my life. All creatures occasionally experience events affecting the direction their lives are moving; I'd had two of those within a week. After I graduated from the University of Colorado, I still hadn't decided what I wanted to be when I grew up. I knocked around from one thing to another and just sort of fell into the emergency medical field, mostly attracted by the romantic notion of saving lives and making the world a better place. Like all newbies in the biz, it didn't take me long to learn that most of the work is routine and drudgery. Still, I enjoyed it and worked hard to be as good a medic as I could be. Now things were changing. Two weeks after my injury, the Chief called me and asked me to come in and see him. I wasn't sure what he had in mind but I knew we'd have to decide when I could come back to work. When I walked into his office, I was surprised to see Dr. Berman, out medical director there as well. The chief started off, "Hey, Kevin. How's the recovery coming along?" "I'm doing well, Chief. The shoulder is still weak but I exercise it every day and I should be up to full strength before long. If you're wondering when I can come back to work, Dr. Cohen and I think maybe a couple of weeks. Does that work for you?" The Chief smiled and looked at Dr. Berman who picked it up from there. "Kevin, the Chief and I have been looking over your personnel file and we both feel we'd like you to take over his position when he retires next month. Do you think you might be interested?" That was a bolt from the blue. "Me? You want me to be the new Chief? How would that go down with the other paramedics? You know I'm only twenty-seven years old and I've only been with the division for five years. I can think of at least a half dozen people who would do a great job." "We've given it a lot of thought and we feel you'd do the best job. And yes, those are some of the issues you'd have to deal with. Of course, the position has to be announced and opened for all applicants but everyone I've spoken to feels you're head and shoulders above any competition. So, would you be interested in applying?" "Well, I'm interested, sure, but would being Chief take me off the ambulance?" Being an administrator had its advantages but I wasn't sure I wanted to give up street medicine. "Not entirely. We're going to make it policy that the Chief works at least one shift a week on the ambulance to keep his or her skills sharp. More if they can work it into their schedule." "Dr. Berman, Chief, I really appreciate the offer. Can I give you an answer in a couple of days? I'd like to talk it over with some other people before I make a final decision." "You take your time, Kevin. We'd like to keep this conversation quiet for the time being so we don't stir up any unnecessary rumors. If you need more information to help you make up your mind, you can call either of us." On my way back to Millie's condo I was thinking how life changes seemed to come in clumps and this could be another big one. If I took the position as Chief, my salary would almost double and that could facilitate a couple of other big events stirring around in my brain. I'm not the kind of guy who is inclined to make rash decisions but, by the time I pulled into the parking garage, my mind was made up. I could hardly wait for Millie to get home from work. When she walked in the door she sniffed the aromas coming from the kitchen, "Mmm! Something smells good." I'd baked a lasagna absolutely gooey with cheese and was ready to pop the garlic bread into the oven. I had created a salad with artichoke hearts, the wine was breathing and the table was set with the good china. "What a nice surprise! What's the occasion?" "Well, tomorrow I'll be going back to my own apartment. It's a 'Thank you' for making my recovery so much fun. That and one or two other things I'll get to later. How was your day?" "It felt good to be back at work except they really didn't share my work among the rest of the staff while I was gone; they just saved it all for me so I'll be a few days catching up." She came up behind me and gave me a big squeeze, letting her hand slide down and rub the front of my jeans. "Is this going to be my dessert?" The kitchen was cleaned and the dishes were in the washer. "How about a nice soak in the spa, Ms. Carter. There's something I want to discuss with you and I'd like us to be all hot and naked." "Sounds intriguing. Last one in is a rotten egg," she laughed over her shoulder as she dashed toward the bath, pulling her top over her head. By the time the spa was filled and bubbling from the water jets, we were naked, charged up and ready for action. The conversation had to wait while we smooched, touched, explored and finally settled into a nice, soft screw with her straddling me and settled onto my cock, moving just enough to keep the old boy at rigid attention. "OK, Sir Kevin," she sighed, "What's the topic of this 'discussion'?" "Lady Millie, would you consider going off the pill?" I rubbed my hands up and down her back and kissed her nipples. She leaned back and looked at me with a big question mark on her face. "Not until I'm fully committed to a relationship; preferably married. Um, is there something else you'd like to ask me?" "Oh, yeah, there is. I was wondering if you would consider marrying me and if we could have a baby. Or two."
