Sympathy for a Devil:

Simone’s Notes:

Sexologists have not reached any consensus regarding sexual addiction. Some experts believe that sexual addiction is literally an addiction, directly analogous to alcohol and drug addictions. Other experts believe that sexual addiction is actually a form of obsessive compulsive disorder and refer to it as sexual compulsivity. Still other experts believe that sex addiction is itself a myth, a by-product of cultural and other influences. In their book, Substance Abuse, Lowinson and colleagues use the addiction model and define sexual addiction as a condition in which some form of sexual behaviour is employed in a pattern that is characterized at least by two key features: recurrent failure to control the behaviour and continuation of the behaviour despite harmful consequences. Patrick Carnes, another proponent of the addiction model of sexual addiction, argued that most professionals in the field agree with the World Health Organization's definition of addiction. Richard Irons and Jennifer P. Schneider have argued, "Addictive sexual disorders which do not fit into standard DSM-IV categories can best be diagnosed using an adaptation of the DSM-IV criteria for substance dependence."

St. Mary’s Touch was busy as usual. The night shift was in full swing tonight. Derdra was working the night shift as usual every other week. Everything seemed normal at first. There weren’t that many people working the night shift as usual. It was pretty quiet tonight as well. Then, things became interesting. Derdra was putting away the sheets would she smelt something sweet burning. It was stronger than a scented candle. The smell was overpowering. The nurse was now curious. She began to follow the smell. Derdra came down to the basement. It was pitch-black downstairs.

“Hello?” she asked. There was no answer at first. Derdra kept walking.

“Hello?” she asked again. “Is anybody here?” The smell was getting stronger with each step. Derdra felt as if she was in a trance now. She was slowly floating out of her head now. Then, she felt a small warm light on her face. Something kept drawing her in closer and closer. Her heart was racing in her chest. At last, she came to her destination. What she found stunned her. Edward was lying on a futon bed waiting for her. He was dressed in only pants. The monster looked up at his goddess with a smirk.

“Hello there, my Derdra,” he said to her. The nurse looked at him surprised.

“Edward!” she gasped. “What are you doing here?” The monster smiled at her again.

“I’m very sick,” he said. “I need your help!” Derdra eyed him confused.

“Okay…” she replied. “What seems to be the problem?” Edward didn’t answer at first. He signaled her closer. Derdra walked closer with caution. There it was again. The nurse always got that nervous fear when she was around the alchemist. Though he would never even try to harm her, Derdra was still afraid of him in a sense. She took her cautious time and stood over the patient. The nurse slowly leaned down to him. Edward tilted his head upwards to her.

“I am sex addict,” he said. Derdra looked at him confused again. The fear inside of her began to build up right away. The nurse slowly backed away some. But Edward was only getting started. He quickly grabbed her by the skirt of her uniform. She became really startled now. The monster pulled her down a little closer to him. The nurse was really in a silent panic now.

“I’m not done yet,” he whispered to her. “I’m a sexual sadist.” Red flags were all around now. Derdra really didn’t know what to do now. She just looked at Edward in fear.

“I don’t understand!” the nurse said. “Why are you telling me all of this?” Edward looked up at her smiling in a devilish way. He lightly stroked her hand between his own.

“Because,” he said. “You’re the only one who can make me better again.” Derdra shook her head nervously. She was in a real trap now. Edward was asking her to do the impossible for him. She was asking him to save him from his own mortal sins. It was time to play goddess and repentant sinner again. But first, there how to be a little bit of denial to take place.

“You should talk to somebody about that kind of problem,” Derdra said uneasily.

“Oh, but I talking to someone about it!” Edward spoke up. “I’m talking to you about it.” Derdra’s face slowly went pale. This was a serious code red. He had done something or was going to doing something very bad. This wasn’t going to be a one night fix either. This session was going to take many nights. But what was so terrible that Edward had to come to her first.

“Okay,” Derdra said trying to maintain control. “What did you do now?” Edward sat up a little straighter with her.

“Oh no,” he said. “I haven’t done anything just yet.” Derdra began to relax some. “Oh good,” she thought. “I can at least stop the problem *before* it even starts!”

“So,” she said. “What are you planning to do?” Edward turned to her with a serious look on his face.

“My little pet, Little Alex is falling in laugh with someone else,” he said. “I’m jealous of her. I’m so jealous that I want to kill her.” Derdra had a worried look on her face now. Edward noticed right away.

“But don’t worry,” he said. “I haven’t touched her yet.” Derdra still trembled all over.

“What do you want me to do?” she asked him. Edward kept his eyes locked on his goddess.

“Stop me from killing an innocent girl!” he pleaded. Derdra was once again trapped.

“Uh…” she said to him. The nurse didn’t know what to say. Edward stood up in front of her. He lightly took her by the face and kissed her on the lips. This was always the first step to redemption. His girl loosened up right away. She kissed him back. Edward pushed her straight to the ground. Derdra just kept kissing him even more. The goddess held onto the sinner tightly. Edward quickly ripped off her dress. Her lacy black bra and panties were revealed to him. The monster smiled wickedly at her body. Usually, he saw women as toys and objects to use at his disposal. But not Derdra. She was much more to him than that. She was his ticket to salvation. So, Derdra had to stay pure at all costs.

Edward quickly took off his shirt. The nurse stared at him in lusty silence. He always had the same affect on her as he did before his fall. His goddess instantly spread her legs for him just like usual. The incubus began kissing on her neck softly. Derdra moaned in happiness. Edward was softly rubbing on her chest. He began rubbing his hips and pelvis up against her waist. His member was getting hard as the black and red in his eyes began to form. He shut his eyes tightly to block out the feeling. “No!” he thought. “I have to stay pure with this redemption!” Edward began thinking to turn himself off some. The red and black in his eyes died away quickly. He breathed out slowly. “Better!” the monster thought. Now, he could focus on saving himself again.

Edward reached down and quickly undid his pants. Derdra reached forward and slid them off. The sinner really became excited now. He reached behind her and quickly undid her black bra. He ripped it off of her and threw it aside. The incubus did the same thing with her panties. Derdra slid off his boxers in response. Edward went ahead and made himself a shield to protect her from himself. He then grabbed her by the shoulders and slid himself into her.

The goddess began to forgive the repentant sinner right away. Edward pulled in and out of her quickly. Their moans were muzzled with heavy kisses. The heat was rising higher and higher between them. Edward didn’t seem to know how or when to stop. He just kept going faster and faster. It was the only way that he could be forgiven again. Tonight wasn’t going to be enough this time. This future sin was going to need more visits before and after. Only Derdra could stop him. Or at least try to. Derdra was just happy to see Edward again. Even though he did scare her at times, she knew the truth. Edward was just a poor soul suffering corrupt torment. She was the only one that could save him from himself. The nurse also knew that wouldn’t be an easy task. Edward was prone to relapse and becoming more aggressive with his sins. One night was not going to fix his problems at all. He was going to keep coming back to her over and over again to fix his mess and problems. Along as he kept straying from the right path, she was forever going to be there for him no matter what. That was how it was now.

Edward came within his nurse loudly in her mouth. He paused over her for a moment. The alchemist broke off the kiss and stared deeply in her deep lovely brown eyes. She was all sweaty and beautiful now. Edward smiled to himself kindly. He gently kissed her on the forehead and pulled out of her instantly. The monster pulled out and collapsed next to his goddess. Derdra just lied there on the floor smiling to herself. Edward turned to her with a serious look on his face.

“Am I forgiven yet?” he asked. The nurse turned to him smiling. She nodded at him once.

“Yes Edward,” Derdra replied. “You are forgiven.” Edward looked at her truly overjoyed.

“Thank you, mistress!” he called. “I am grateful!” Then, he kissed her on the lips once more. Derdra kissed him back. They lightly broke off. Edward smiled at her again.

“Well, you better get back to work then,” he said. “Your shift is about to be over in a few minutes.” Derdra nodded at him in reply.

“Right, right,” she said to him softly. Then, the nurse rose to her feet, got dressed, and headed back upstairs. Edward got what he wanted tonight. He was pure and forgiven. But for how long this time?
