Form completed and handed over to the nurse, we wait silently for someone medical to come and get us.
By now it’s quite late and Owen is slumping over a bit in his chair. At first, I resist but inevitably I also succumb to growing exhaustion and the inviting warmth of his body, and shift in my chair until my shoulder is resting against his.
Although, I am mostly confident that the medical staff understand the seriousness of the situation, I track their movements closely whenever the door leading to the exam and treatment area opens and closes as nurses come in and out to retrieve this patient and that patient and taking them back for treatment. Where is our nurse?
Finally, I am at that point; the point where I am close enough to sleep, that the barriers between appropriate civilized conversation and intimate personal conversation have faded to near nothingness, and I ask the question—one of the questions—that has on my mind for several hours now. Hell, we’re not going anywhere anytime soon and he could use a little distraction. “Why is it that you never showed any real sexual interest in me until tonight?”
Owen shifts his head so he can look me in the eye. “You never accidentally sent me a sexually explicit email before.”
Truth. I think about that for a moment. “So, you weren’t actually interested until the letter? That’s quite a reversal.” Not to mention all the flirting you did with me when we met. Let’s talk about mixed messages Chief.
He says evenly. “I was interested. I just never pursued it, because I didn’t really have anything worth offering you.” He shrugs slightly—one of those shrugs that is more of a hitch of the shoulders than an actual shrug—the kind meant to show that something doesn’t matter, but which actually betrays that it matters a great deal. “It’s not fair to stir up interest when you can’t deliver on it. The medications I’m on—I don’t function well without them, but they affect my ability to engage in sexual relations.”
He’s staring at me challengingly, so I say it. “You’re impotent.”
“Yes.”
Okay. “What changed your mind?”
He smiles wryly and looks down at his feet. “I got encouraged.” A quick glance up at me. “Your email — it made me think that maybe we could have a… one night stand or —” He hesitates slightly before continuing, and I see the smile morph into something more like a grimace. “Some sort of torrid affair of short duration.” He looks directly at me then holds my gaze. “I may be impotent, but I am excellent at oral sex.”
Bit smug there eh chief? “Arrogant bastard.” I make it teasing and jostle him lightly with my shoulder because I am not entirely comfortable with the intimate nature of this conversation. Can’t say I’m not intrigued though.
“If you have any complaints; I’ve yet to hear them.”
Despite my exhaustion and the complexity of our current situation, I feel my body warm with remembered arousal as I recall the events of the evening.
