"You suggesting that I sabotaged myself?" Abby asked ruefully.
Kim shrugged, her bare shoulders moving lightly against the dark sheet. "I think I’m suggesting that maybe you don’t want to leave." A hesitant pause, another graceful smile–self-deprecating and enticing all at once. "At least that’s what I’m hoping."
Lazy fingers captured the hand that still had not stopped stroking her skin and tugged gently. Abby allowed her legs to give way beneath her, the slow fall cushioned by Kim’s welcoming arms even as she protested, "I should get going."
"Why?" The question a patient murmur, lips brushing over eyelids that fluttered shut at the touch.
"Don’t ask me that."
An arch of fine brows punctuated the silent question.
"Because if we get all introspective, I’m not going to be able to write this off as a one night stand."
"Ah… that would be complicating matters, wouldn’t it?"
Abby blinked at the ironic tone in Kim’s voice, contrasting strongly with the reality of both their lives. She didn’t know the exact sequence of events that had driven Kim Legaspi into bed with her, but she knew good and damn well the motivating factor wasn’t true romance. "You going to tell me you think we should fall in love?"
"No…" Kim confessed. "But what’s wrong with having some seriously casual sex?"
"I never knew you were such a pragmatist."
"Abby, as much as I love some of the delightful ways that you bend… at heart you’re a straight girl."
"Not to mention you seem to have a reputation as someone who has trouble committing to a conversation."
"Using a word like commitment around a psych is a dangerous thing," she demurred.
"Your repartee skills aren’t in question here, Kim… So put the rapier down," Abby commanded brusquely, somehow wanting to get behind the facade of control that hadn’t slipped even when Kim was spread naked beneath her, skin slick with sweat, voice hoarse with desire. "You asked the question."
"You think you should be going because I’m a bad relationship risk?"
"I think I should be going because this has the potential to turn into something I can’t handle." A measured truth of sorts. Bad relationship risk or not, Kim’s heart belonged elsewhere– whereas her own equivocation was threatening to take her down a path that would lead to nothing but more pain. "If I stay, this becomes more than a one-night-stand-thing…"

I have to admit that I stopped watching ER several years ago, but after reading this, two things came to mind. 1. If I could have watched this story, with this dialogue on my TV screen I would still be watching faithfully each and every week. 2. This was a great reminder of why I shouldn’t ever work in a hospital…way too much gossip!!!! LOL Wonderful story…beautiful writing. Thank you for posting this here. And thank you for inspiring Jacky. The degrees of separation continue to prove true. While you were writing this, did you ever think that because of someone somewhere reading it, that a fan site would be established for a completely different show, that would in turn change thousands of lives all around the world? I know, amazing isn’t it…the power of a story. Thanks again.

Gosh! This is fantastic. I love all the characters on ER and you’ve done a truly excellent job with all the conflicting emotions and the power of irresistible forces of attraction between Abby and Kim. I enjoyed every word.
