“You know those are for patients!” Kathy said, taking the big plastic bowl of lollipops away from me.

She then reached over the desk and pulled, the one in my mouth, out, making a pop sound. I reached out, trying to take it back.

“Hey!”

“And this has gone on long enough,” she said.

“What has?” I asked innocently, taking the lollipop back and putting it in my mouth.

Mmmm, apple flavor.

“This,” she said and held out her hand towards me.

I looked down at myself, but I looked the same. I was in my scrubs, of course, and my white doctor's coat with my badge clicked on and the little name, Doctor Vinson. That was me.

“I am not sure what you are saying,” I said.

“Something is up with you, and it has been for like a month!” she said. “It makes me worried!”

“I’m fine!” I lied.

Yeah, fine … besides the fact I wasn’t sleeping, food tasted like nothing, my body was aching all the time, screaming for the touch of someone I had tried my best to erase from my mind. I was distracted and irritated, and damn horny. I had never been like this. I had never really had to take care of myself. But now all I could think about, when I couldn’t sleep, was a certain werewolf, who had left his imprint all over my body, and like an addiction, I couldn’t shake, I needed him all the time. It was tiring and annoying, and I just wanted to go back to the way I was, but of course, that wasn’t happening. Every day it got worse, and when I did actually get some sleep, I would be dreaming about him, waking up all sweaty and aching like hell.

“Right,” Kathy said. “And my boobs are real.”

My eyes automatically darted down to her breasts, that were pressing against her shirt. They weren’t overly big, smaller than mine, but she had had them done, because as she claimed, she had had practically nothing before.

“Hey! Eyes up here!” she teased me.

I shrugged innocently and looked at her again.

“Listen really, I am fine. I am just … having some insomnia lately.”

“When do you not have insomnia?” she asked me.

“Are you saying I am not taking care of myself?”

“Have you ever?”

She crossed her arms over her chest and looked really proud of herself. I just rolled my eyes and spun around on the chair I was sitting on. I was on my break and had come to the trauma center where Kathy was working, but I was still restless. I constantly had to do something, all because of someone who must not be named, because even his name had me bending in half, my body hurting so much it longed for him.

It is just a natural reaction, I had told myself in the beginning. He had given me my first org*sm, and therefore my body had gotten addicted. The answer to it would probably be to go out and find someone who could do the same to me, you know, get someone into my system, so I could get him out. But just the thought of someone else touching me gave me goosebumps all over.

“You need a vacation,” Kathy pointed out.

“I don’t go on vacations.”

“And that is exactly why you need it.”

I waved my hand through the air, before spinning around on the chair again. Kathy walked around the desk, placing her hand on the back of the chair, and stopping me.

“And you need to get laid.”

“Kathy!” I groaned.

“Seriously. I have said this for years. You need someone to rock your world, that will make you feel all better,” she told me.

I had already had someone rock my world, and I was definitely not better. I was much, much worse. Now I couldn’t concentrate. Now I was just … useless really, and I hated to feel like that. What was even worse, was that Arch … I mean, the person I was not trying to think about, had said he would come for me after a month, but would you look at that! It had been a month and he was not here. I didn’t want to feel so disappointed, because it was a good thing he wasn’t here. It meant my words had finally gotten through his thick skull, and he had understood I wanted to be left alone. And at the same time I tried telling myself the only reason why I was disappointed, was because I had been let down again. Another person who didn’t keep their promises. I was tired of it, but why … why did it also have to hurt, that he hadn’t come? I didn’t want it to, because that meant … something I was not going to admit. I just needed to figure out a way to forget him.

“I’m good.”

“No, seriously, we should go out this Friday, and we will find you someone,” she said.

“I don’t think so,” I said.

“Come on! You need this!”

“What I need is sleep.”

“I am not arguing about that, but coming a few times on a big c*ck usually helps with that,” she said.

“Jesus Kathy, not very appropriate in a workplace,” I said and got up from my chair to go lean against the other desk behind me.

“Relax,” she said and waved her hand through the air. “No one heard.”

“I really just think we should talk about something else,” I said.

It was not that Kathy made me uncomfortable. I was used to her talking like this, but the problem was the only one I wanted to make me come was someone I couldn’t want and shouldn’t want. Wolves brought too much chaos. Too much trouble. I was not about to become a part of that world. I was fine with my life. Yes, I had to survive a little harassment, but I could survive that because this was my life, and no one was going to take me from it.

“Come on, don’t tell me I am wrong. Don’t you just want someone to take you and make you feel so f*cking good?” she asked me.

“Not really,” I said.

“Liar! You are in desperate need of org*sms!”

“That is why the vibrator was invented,” I told her.

She laughed and nodded.

“This Friday. Say yes.”

“Why is this so important to you?” I asked.

“Because you are my friend, and friends look out for one another. Besides, I have seen you push yourself, but this is just beyond that. I think you are keeping secrets from me.”

“What secrets?” I asked innocently.

“That is what I hope some tequila shots can tell me,” she said and pointed at me. “It’s not d**k, is it?”

“No, I can handle him.”

She sighed and shook her head.

“I wish you didn’t have to.”

“I am not the only one.”

“No, I know. This world just favors white men, protecting them from their own horrible actions,” she said bitterly.

Dick had tried getting with Kathy too, but after kneeing him once in his bellowed private parts, he had kind of let it go. Kathy was not a pushover, and I wouldn’t say I was either, but he had not given up. I feared it was the wolf in me. Full-blooded wolves so easily attracted humans, there was just something about them that made them unbelievably attractive, female and male. And while I wasn’t full-blooded, I still had a little in me, that made it enough for me to attract people. Mostly creeps. Who was I kidding? It was always creeps. It was why my mother’s doctor had also taken advantage of me. It was a curse, this blood of mine. Not a blessing.

“Yeah, the world sucks, tell me something I don’t know,” I said.

She rolled her eyes.

“Friday.”

“Kathy.”

“Come on!” she said.

I moved my jaw from side to side, annoyed by this conversation, and I really just wanted to get out of here, as fast as I could. So, I did something I knew was a bit of a d**k move.

“Wow, it is really quiet today,” I said.

Kathy gasped, and became all wide-eyed, while her jaw dropped to the ground.

“You didn’t,” she said.

“Oh, I did.”

And like on cue, someone was rolled through the automatic doors. The paramedics quickly listed everything that was wrong with the patient. Kathy glared at me, before going to help the doctors and nurses that were all assisting and helping the poor guy, who was bleeding from several wounds.

I quickly made my escape and walked away, almost with a satisfied smile, until I came around a corner, and then froze.

“Dad?”
