She had bed-bathed patients on dozens of occasions. Jess could not understand why giving Carl his, yesterday, had had such a strong effect on her. Yes, he had developed an erection. Nothing unusual in that, particularly as he was 18 years old. He had seemed helpless looking up at her, pleadingly, as she had cleaned his penis. He had been in the hospital for a week with both arms and one leg broken. What stuck in her mind was his penis. Very short, maybe 3 or 4 inches erect but with a head that was completely disproportionate. It was this that kept flashing into her head particularly the color, a deep bluey purple. It was still in her mind as she entered his room.
"How are you doing this evening Carl? Is the medication keeping the pain levels down? It is time for your bed-bath. Sorry it is so late."
"Hi nurse Jess. I thought you had forgotten me. I hoped it would be you giving me my bed-bath again today."
"Why is that Carl? Are the other nurses not as gentle as I am?"
"The other nurses have all been fine, but there was something in your eyes that made me think you understood."
"Understood what Carl? I do understand that your predicament must be very eh... frustrating. There is nothing that I can do to help with that, as I am sure you realize."
Carl's face said everything. If Jess could have seen, so did his prick. Already erect and painful as it had been most of the day. Jess looked into his eyes seeing the disappointment and despair. She was soon bringing the bowl of hot water and the cloth to his bedside.
"Let's sit you forward so that I can do your back. That's fine. I'm going to undo your top so that I can do your body."
