Seeking Relief

Converging of Intents

Jade’s eyes fly open as she sucks in a wheezing breath. She pulls in more deep breaths before she registers where she’s at.

She’s looking at the wall of her room. 

She lifts her hand and rubs her eyes with her heels.

After a few minutes, she gets up and pads to the bathroom.

While she’s washing her hands she hears a knock on the second door that leads to the rest of the apartment. 

“Hey Jade? Will you come out here when you’re done?” She heard Jake ask.

Curious and confused she opens the door and comes out.

“Hey. Come sit down.” Adam said.

“We may have something to talk about.” Emmett said from where he sat.

“Oh God. You’re tired of me. You’re leaving.” She said quietly.

“What?! No!” Jake said from behind her. Walking by to sit, he continued, “We just think you may need a bit more support. We’re going to make ourselves available to you. Come sit down. We’ll tell you what we thought of.”

Alisha looked up from her computer monitor as she saw Mitch walk through the main doors. She quickly minimized the internet window she had open. He wasn’t her boss, but he also would be quick to call her out on anything she was doing that wasn’t directly related to work. 

She mentally rolled her eyes.

Her ears pricked at what Mitch was saying to his chief. 

She always was one for some juicy tidbits. She pretended to be engrossed in her work and strained to hear the full conversation.

“—like to have a solid schedule, or at least know what I’m working ahead of time. I know I said I’m flexible, but things in my personal life have changed a bit. I need to know when I’m not scheduled.”

“So, no more counting on you to pick up shifts last minute?”

“You’re welcome to still call and ask, but I won’t be as ready to say yes or just take it like I have before.”

“I understand. Does this have to do with that girl that OD’ed awhile back?”

“Yea.”

“I heard Jake AND Dr. Kincaid were into her, too. Heard she’s got quite the ‘entourage’ with you guys.”

“Yea, we all kind of have taken to her.”

“Hmm. I hope when she picks one of you over the other, or none of you, that jealousy doesn’t tear apart your friendships.”

“I’m not worried about that.”

“Alright then. I’ll make sure to get you emailed your scheduled upcoming rotations and note on your name in our fallbacks list.”

“Thank you, sir.” 

Alisha pulled out her phone and sent out a text to her coworker that she gossips with.

You’d never believe what I just heard. 

Jade watched all the guys pull out of her parking lot and drive off. She gave them a wave back as they waved when they drove by.

When she saw the last taillight turn, she went back into her apartment. 

The guys needed to get home for rest, she kept them enough as it is. It was now midday and she needed to eat something. 

As she made herself a sandwich, she thought of what they proposed. 

If she ever woke up like she did last night terror stricken, they wanted her to call them. Then whoever was off, would either come be with her, or get her. She had a feeling that they initially wanted her to stay with them, and she found that she secretly wanted to, too.

She shook her head at herself and continued with her task. 

She’ll call if she can’t fall back asleep and is strung out on nerves like she was last night. She’s already regretting her cleaning spree and the toll it took. 

But she probably won’t need to call. She only has the rest of the weekend and one weekday to get through until her surgery. 

Then she’ll be with Linn.

She took her meager lunch with a water and went to her table to read a book.

In the afternoon, she went for a walk and she finished the evening by watching one of the dvd’s she rented from the library.

Nothing exciting.

Nothing to trigger another Goddamn nightmare.

Lance looked down at the plain face below him. 

He sat back, flipped her over, then thrust hard back into her. 

He reached out and grabbed some hair wrapping it around his hand then pulled on it. When she whimpered in pain, a whimper she tried to hide, then he felt his c**k jerk and finally respond. 

When he closed his eyes and imagined the unimpressive blond hair being dark thick curls, and tear filled hazel eyes looking over her shoulder at him, only then did he finally feel his release bear down on him.

He maintained that mental image.

He gave three hard thrusts before finally cumming.

He sat back and got up to go the bathroom to clean up. When she followed shortly after, he leaned and gave her kiss on her cheek. She gave him a soft smile in return. 

“How about you get cleaned up and I’ll take you somewhere nice for dinner?”

“But I was planning on making dinner.”

He reached and hugged her from behind.

“I know, but you are too special to have to labor for my benefit. Let me treat you. Please.” He said.

She smiled bigger.

“Okay.” She said with some excitement. He returned her smile and reached to turn on the shower. 

Women were so easy to figure out and manipulate. 

He took her out, listened to her complain about her job, made plain s*x to the plain woman. 

He made sure she had her orgasm, even though for the life of him, he couldn’t figure out how anyone found any pleasure in the dull methods that she used. 

When he left, he gave her a kiss, and knew just all the right words to make her feel how he wanted her to feel.

On his way home, he made his usual detour. 

There was a woman that never ceased to fail to bring him pleasure. 

He was tired of how he still could not actually have her, but he was a patient man. 

He always wins.

And he’ll win this one, too.
