A Patient's Secret Pleasure

I'm a 35-year-old nurse and last week I had an encounter that felt out of character. One of my patients, a woman in her early forties, was going through a tough time both medically and emotionally. During one late-night shift, she confided in me about her recent divorce and the emptiness it left behind. In a moment of vulnerability, she mentioned a desire for something different - an intense physical release to help cope with all the stress and change. I found myself drawn to her plea, understanding more than just medical needs. We ended up engaging in consensual intimate acts, knowing it wasn't professional but feeling like there was no other way for both of us at that moment.
