Spencer led Liz through the quiet house, nurse's grip firm on her elbow. In the bedroom she peeled back the sheets, eased Liz down, smoothed the blanket to her chin and slipped out to chase another ringtone into silence. Alone now, Liz smiled at the ceiling—parents gone for the week, no one coming home. When Spencer returned she dropped the phone on the nightstand with a sigh. “I’m staying until they pick up.” Liz pulled at her collar. “It’s hot in here.” Spencer hesitated, then unbuttoned the blouse, unhooked the bra, and the sudden bareness of Liz’s breasts made her breath catch before she looked away. “Feel how fast my heart’s going,” Liz whispered. Spencer laid her palm flat against the warm skin. The beat raced under her fingertips. Liz shivered. “Cold now.” Spencer kicked off her shoes, climbed over the covers, fitted herself along Liz’s back. Liz pressed closer. Her hand found Spencer’s thigh. Spencer’s fingers tightened on Liz’s waist. Every last shred of resistance melted when Liz reached back and guided Spencer’s hand between her legs. A nurse’s duty—make the patient feel better.
