<div align="center"><strong>-=Vincent Kincaid – Enjoying the treatment of Dr. Mae – The Gamble’s Infirmary=-</strong></div><br/>Vincent practically purred as Mae’s hands began working out the tension in his shoulders.<em>“I will gladly spoil you. I have a feeling it's going to be my favourite pass time.  As for you returning the favor, I can honestly say I won't be fighting you on that issue. Only, I want to wait until you're all healed up. The last thing I want to do is injure you more."</em>By now the delightful massaging felt so good that the co-pilot began writhing lightly into her touch.  When he replied, his voice was a mixture of speech and light moaning.  “I’m sure I can come up with a few less strenuous ways of spoiling you until I fully recover.  Shouldn’t take too long, my body has always been quick at recovering from physical exertion.”  A grin spread across his lips, waiting for her to comprehend the secondary meaning behind his words.<br/><br/>The feeling of Mae’s light kisses sent a blissful shudder down his spine that effectively replaced soreness with delight.  It was enough to cause his body to lean more firmly against her, his fingers firmly raking along the smooth skin of her legs.  Mae’s touch was better than any painkiller and possibly more addicting than them as well.  Everything took on a dreamlike quality as he was still in disbelief that the two of them were now an official couple.<em>“Tell me if I’m pressing to hard, I don’t want to hurt you, ever.”</em>The underlying message of that statement was not lost to Vincent and he couldn’t imagine being happier than he was at that moment.  Months of fearing that she would give herself to another, fearing the pain that he would surely experience as a result had caused a fair number of sleepless nights.  He was confident that it would be some time before he ever would have trouble sleeping soundly at night.  “Mmmm, everything you do always makes me feel fantastic.  There is no doubt in my mind that that would ever change.”<br/><br/><em>“Just tell me what you want and how you want it and I’ll do my best to please you.”</em>A single breathless chuckle escaped his lips as his mind was instantly overrun with ideas, most of them naughty.  That was all he had time to do before the feeling of her tongue gliding along the ridge of his ear as she moaned sensually into it caused his back to arch from the sheer intensity of his desire for her.  All the while his hands glided further up her legs until his fingers caressed her inner thighs.  An action that was as much reflex as conscious choice.  Had Dani not chosen that moment to return, there was a very good chance he would have allowed his hands to wander higher.<br/><br/>As the two worked in tandem to appeal to the doctor’s compassionate side, he could see the faintest signs of her becoming more empathetic to their plight.  Vincent’s heart raced with anticipation, hoping they had finally won over Dani.<br/><br/><em>"It's not that I'm trying to keep you two apart, but I still can't be sure that there's not going to be side affects from that blow to your head, Mei-Mei.  Despite the fact that you're feeling okay, which is mostly due to the pain killer I gave you, it was a very nasty knock.  You're very lucky to be conscious right now, not to mention having the use of your arms and legs.  If that fei fei pi gu had hit you an inch lower, he'd have likely crushed a vertebrae.”</em>Vincent winced as her words inflicted a sharp pang of guilt with the reminder that he was responsible for Mae’s injury.  He hadn’t been aware just how easily it could have resulted in something far worse than a concussion.<em>”Vincent.”</em>Hearing his name, the co-pilot met Dani’s gaze before taking the time to hide his heartache.<em>"If you have her best interests at heart, you will do as I ask, and return to your own bed."</em>A lump formed in his throat, preventing him from voicing a reply or even maintaining eye contact with her.  How could he say anything or even consider voicing a protest after that?<br/><br/><em>"I'll tell you what.  You can stay the way you are while you eat, but as soon as you're done, it's back to separate beds.  And...  Don't be taking too long about it.  You have fifteen minutes.  That should be enough time to get some food into you, as well as plenty of cuddling.  It's imperative for you both that we keep your blood pressure in check.  Unless you want to risk bleeding on the brain...."</em><br/><br/>Dani’s compromise helped take the edge off Vincent’s remorse, glad to be granted a few moments of closeness with Mae.  Clearing his throat to dislodge the lump just to make sure his voice wouldn’t crack, he thanked Dani before nuzzling into Mae once more.  If they only had a few minutes, he wasn’t going to waste a moment of it feeling bad about himself.  With the side of his head resting upon her chest, Vincent spotted the assortment of fruit Dani had provided for them.  A smile spread across his lips as an idea came to mind.  “Now’s my chance to spoil you a bit.”  Taking a small bunch of grapes off the nearby tray, he tilted his head back far enough to see Mae’s face.  From there he held them away and above her head, waiting for her to lean back so that he could lower the bottom most grape to her lips.
