Tangling my hand in her hair, I tip her head just the way I want it allowing me to deepen the kiss. The moan that escapes her mouth is needy and full of want. Pressing my naked body against hers, I grind my hardness against her drenched lady parts. Using my hips, I tease her till she's practically begging me to take her. As I begin my descent down her body, she grabs onto my face leading it to her beautiful breasts. I swirl my tongue around first then her other nipple, softly scraping them with my teeth before latching on, suckling as if I'm a hungry baby needing sustenance.

She's writhing in need as I let go of one nipple with a plopping sound and continue down her body, leaving her belly button with my tongue before moving even further south, settling between her legs when she widens them for me. The hungry look in her eyes ignites the already burning fire that I always feel whenever we are together this way. When I press my lips and tongue to her flesh, she shamelessly laces her hands in my hair holding me close as I gently worry her clit with my teeth before using my tongue to probe, lap, and swirl it inside of her. My name escapes her lips with reverence, almost as if in prayer. And with a few more flicks of my tongue and pass with my fingers, she lets go, her body convulsing in the pleasure that only I have given her.

Slowly I make my way back up her body. Wanting her to taste herself, I capture her lips in a heady kiss. Using her hands, she cradles my face, deepening it with the thrust of her tongue into my mouth. Pulling back breathlessly, I drop a kiss to the end of her nose then take myself in hand, running the head up and down her center, making her gasp and raise her hips as I sink inside, stilling for a moment to regain my control. She completes me and makes my body sing in a way no one else has. Wanting me to move, she digs her nails into my back while using her pelvic muscles to grip me.

"Okay baby, I'll move," I tell her as I pull out and slam back inside of her till we find our rhythm as we work in tandem to reach our nirvana. Being inside of her never fails to stoke the fire that burns out of control whenever we're together. My chest starts to heave as my breaths come out in spurts and gasps as I drive into her even harder, chasing a release for both of us. Feeling her tongue lick the sweat off of my skin, my eyes roll knowing now what it's like to have a love that consumes me, body, mind, and soul.

When she grabs the curve of my ass, kneading firmly, I drop my lips to that spot on her neck that drives her wild. Gasping aloud, she wraps her legs around my waist, squeezing me firmly.

"Fuck Mishtu, what you do to me," I pant, pushing harder, stronger and faster, chasing the orgasm that only she can give me. I catch her knee and wrap it higher on my hip so I can go even deeper as the coil winds even tighter inside my lower belly. One more thrust causes the coil to burst as I detonate with the magnitude of the Vesuvius eruption. My body shudders as stream after stream of my release fills her womb. With a vise grip on my upper arms, she throws her head back in ecstasy, her body trembling with the force of a magnitude ten earthquake.

When the waves have finally calmed, I collapse on top of her, both of us still jittery with the aftershocks. Pulling her into my arms, I press kiss after kiss to the top of her head. After my heart finally stops galloping against my chest, I close my eyes and tug her even closer.

"I love you, Mishti," I whisper, dropping another kiss to her crown.

"And I love you, Rony, more than I can ever put into words."

Beep, Beep, Beep starts blaring at my bedside. Shooting upright in bed, I look around, feeling deflated when I realize it was only a dream. Sighing heavily, I reach over to turn off the alarm. After laying in bed for a few more minutes with my arm thrown across my eyes, I swallow thickly and swing my legs over the side of the bed. Feeling melancholy, I take a few deep breaths hoping to shake it off, only raising my eyes when I hear her footsteps nearing the room.

"You up, babe?" I hear her ask when she steps into the bedroom.

"Obviously, I utter, rolling my eyes.

"I'm going to jump into the shower," I tell her, standing up and walking into the bathroom. As the water pummels my body, I press one hand against the shower stall while reaching down to take myself in hand with the other, squeezing and rubbing till I release with thoughts of 'her' filling my head.

Once I get out, I quickly throw my uniform on, comb my hair, and put my shoes on. By the time I get downstairs, she has a cup of tea waiting for me.

"Thanks," I tell her, pressing a kiss to her cheek.

"Do you want me to make you something to eat?"

"No, I'll get something at work. Listen, I'm going to go home after work in the morning. Tell Raunak that he has little league practice after school on Friday. I'll pick him up unless you have other plans?" I mention, taking a sip from my coffee cup.

"Where is he?" I start to ask just as I hear the door slam shut.

"Hi Ronobir?" Raunak says, reaching up to give me a fist bump.

"I was just telling your mom that you have football practice Friday before Saturday's game. You up for it champ?" I ask, ruffing up his hair.

"I can't wait. I want to score a touchdown," he tells me, bobbing his head up and down.

Glancing at my watch, I realize that I'll be late if I don't get a move on.

"I have to go. I'll see you Friday, Raunak."

"Bye Ronobir," he says, walking away from me.

"When will I see you again?"

"I'll see you Friday when I bring Raunak home. I need to go," I answer, dropping a kiss on her lips. Once I let go, I walked to the door. After pulling it open, I turn my head to look back at her.

"Goodbye Kusum," I add before stepping outside, pulling the door closed behind me.

"Ronobir, stop yawning. It's contagious and our shift is just starting," Niti, one of my co-workers, chastises me when I reach up to cover my mouth.

"I didn't sleep very well last night but I did get a nap this afternoon," I inform her, stepping behind her to swipe my badge at the time clock.

"Poor Rono, did Dr. Ganguly keep you busy last night?"

"You know it," I reply, flashing her my eye thing.

"You're such a flirt Rono. No wonder your patients like you so much," Niti teases as we walk to our station to get our assignments for the night.

"Here's your patient assignments, Ronobir," Ayesha tells me, handing me a sheet with their names, doctors, admission dates, and diagnoses. We go from room to room while Ayesha gives me a report. We tell each other about everything that happened with the patient on that day. We pass on lab and radiology results. One of my patients just returned from surgery and I have an admission coming upstairs from ED as well. Taking a deep breath I realize I'm going to be busy till I get all my assessments and med passes done.

"Mr. Kumar had a bowel resection and lysis of adhesions today. His NG tube is too low for intermittent suction. Dr. Malhotra said he could have ice chips but very sparingly. He left parameters to call for his vitals. Hydralazine IV prn for systolic above 170," she tells me.

"Also we're to do I and O every four hours and to call if his urine output is less than thirty cc per hour. He has morphine ordered for pain as well as scheduled Toradol. He has Phenergan and Zofran ordered for nausea if needed," Ayesha continues.

"What about his dressing? Does he want us to change it or reinforce it?"

"Reinforce it. He said he'll change it tomorrow if needed. Oh, and he has a JP drain in his right quadrant."

"Hello, Mr. Kumar. My name is Ronobir and I'll be your attending doctor in charge for the next twelve hours. Between the nurse's aide and I, we'll try to check on you at least every hour. Please use your call light if you need anything," I tell him. When he nods, Ayesha and I step out to go to the next room.

"Lastly we have Miss Khanna, 25...," I listen as Ayesha continues. "Right flank pain, malaise, and fevers up to 103 for the last four days. She came up from ED about two hours ago. She has..,"

"Pyelonephritis," I blurt out.

"Yes. Dr. Kapoor ordered Piperacillin-tazobactam every six hours. She has Tylenol ordered for fevers and Morphine prn for pain. Her medical history is pretty negative. She seems a bit shy because she won't take her bra off. She's pretty miserable," Ayesha adds, leading the way into her room to introduce me to her.

Without looking at her face, I walked over to her whiteboard and put my name down as her attending doctor in charge and Nisha's name down as her nurse.

"This is Ronobir, he'll be your attending doctor tonight," Ayesha says just as I turn around. My eyes widen at the same time the marker I'm holding falls to the floor. My mouth opens and closes, nothing coming out for several seconds.

"Ronobir?" Ayesha asks, looking at me curiously. Shaking my head, I finally found my voice.

"Mishti?"
