legs, stroking her before finally slipping inside. When Sam began to thrust hard
and fast Riley cried out Sam's name as the orgasm roared through her body.
She slumped back to the mattress the aftershocks still racing through her body.
She came back to her senses with one hand firmly cupping her breast and the
other buried deep between her legs. She still felt shaky from the powerful
orgasm. She'd never climaxed like that by touching herself before. It had been
amazing. "Oh Sam... what have you done to me?" She murmured to herself. In a
post orgasmic languor, she rolled onto her side and immediately fell asleep.

Frank and Cheryl sat in the living room waiting for Kim and Jess to arrive. Frank
had called his sister yesterday after they'd brought Sam home from the hospital.
He'd filled her in on everything that'd happened and the strange tension between
Sam and Riley. He was worried. Sam appeared to be healing physically but
she'd barely spoken a dozen words since they'd picked her up yesterday. She'd
spent most of her time since arriving home in bed insisting that she was tired.
That just wasn't like Sam. Frank knew she had been through a lot with the
shooting but he couldn't help feeling this had more to do with Riley than any
lingering effects of the shooting. She refused to discuss what had happen in her
hospital room with the doctor.
Frank sighed in relief when the doorbell rang. He opened the door to find his
sister and her wife along with Thor.
"Hey I see you brought the moose." He told them laughingly.
"Now is that any way to refer to your sister." Kim teased.
Frank laughed reaching out to pull his sister-in-law into his arms. He loved the
beautiful blond. She'd been wonderful for his sister. He couldn't remember Jess
being happier and now with their upcoming plans he could only foresee a great
future ahead for them. He was glad Cheryl had been so understanding when
Kim and Jess had approached them. Time enough to think about that later,
Sam's our focus now. He reminded himself.
He hugged his sister tightly. "It's good to see you Sis. Wish it was under better
circumstances."
"How's she doing?" Jess asked quietly looking around for Sam.
"We're worried about her she hasn't spoken a dozen words since we brought her
home and barely stepped foot outside her room. Both Cheryl and I have tried to
get her to tell us what happened with Riley but she says it's nothing. She's just
tired."
"I convinced her to let me look at her incisions. They look fine and are healing
wonderfully." Cheryl added.
Kim knew Sam would never open up to her with everyone around.
She glanced over and met Jess's eyes. "Why don't you guys make a grocery
run? I'll stay here with Sam."
Jess started to put Thor's leash back on. "No leave him here with me." Kim
instructed. Jess looked puzzled but put the leash back on the table. Kim leaned
over and gently kissed Jess. "Give me as much time with her as you can." She
whispered to Jess as she pulled way. Jess nodded in understanding before
heading out with Frank and Cheryl.

Kim slowly eased open the bedroom door. Sam was lying on the bed staring up
at the ceiling. Kim motioned to Thor to precede her. He immediately ran up to
the bed laying his big head on Sam's chest. Sam turned onto her side and
wrapped her arms around the big dog. She buried her face in his neck and
started to cry. Thor stood perfectly still offering his own brand of comfort. When
Kim thought most of the storm had passed she moved from the foot of the bed
where she'd been standing and sat down on the other side of the bed opposite
Sam.
"Hey Sam." She said softly reaching out to touch her shoulder urging her to roll
onto her back.
Sam refused to move or meet Kim's eyes. She continued to gently stroke Thor's
coat.
"Hi." She finally responded.
Kim kicked off her shoes and made herself comfortable. She propped up a pillow
against the headboard and sat back stretching out her legs. Kim waited for Sam
to make the next move. Sam continued to pet Thor her back to Kim. She and
Kim had gotten close in the last year. She was one of the few people besides
Jess she could open up to and be herself. Knowing she couldn't put off the
inevitable forever, she rolled onto her back and placed her arm over her eyes.
"Ready to tell me about it?" Kim asked.
"NO."
Kim waited. She had been this route with Sam before and knew if she pushed,
she'd retreat. It was just a matter of waiting her out. Eventually she would tell her
what happened.
Sam sighed deeply. She knew Kim would just sit there as long as necessary.
She couldn't help smiling to herself when she thought of her sister being married
to the stubborn psychiatrist. Poor Jess, she never stood a chance.
"It's nothing," Sam tried.
"Don't even start that with me Sam McKenna, you and your sister should know
by now I don't want to hear that crap!"
Sam couldn't help it she smiled despite herself. She moved her arm and met
Kim's eyes for the first time. She read the frustration in them but also the love
she knew her sister-in-law had for her.
"All right, you win." Sam groused. Sam shifted position moving to lay her head in Kim's lap. Kim gently stroked her hair.
Sam related the events of her last encounter with Riley. Kim fought to keep her
expression neutral when Sam reached the part about them making out on her
hospital bed.
"Then when we were interrupted she just freaked out and gave me the same
song and dance, 'I can't be involved with a patient'. Didn't seem to bother her a
few minutes before when she had her tongue down my throat and her hands on
my breasts." Sam said angrily.
Kim was at a loss. She had understood Riley's insistence about not being
involved with a patient but once Sam was discharged, she wasn't her patient
anymore. She knew some doctors felt strongly once a patient always a patient
but she personally didn't agree with that. In her specialty of psychiatry sure there
was no way you could be involved with an ex-patient but Riley was a surgeon
the same rules just didn't apply. She began to wonder if there wasn't more to this
than a doctor-patient relationship problem. Sam had told her about Riley
confiding that she was gay but that she'd been dating men and had only recently
started dating women. She couldn't help wondering if this had more to do with
coming out than not being involved with a patient. Kim sighed; it was all just
guesswork on her part. Sam was her chief concern.
"I'm so sorry Sam. I know you'd hoped things would turn out differently. It's
obvious she has feelings for you but is unwilling to act on them. I don't know if
you can change that. She has to do what she thinks is right. I know that's not
what you want to hear."
"But she did act on them. I wasn't making out on the bed by myself. How can
she kiss me like that one minute then say we can't be involved the next?" Sam
cried in frustration.
"I understand what you're saying but sometimes our emotions get away from us
and we respond even when we know we shouldn't. You seem to stir something
strong in her but you can't force her into giving a relationship with you a chance
