"Come on Stephanie," Mario yelled back. The two of them had been teaching at the 
same school and jogging almost every morning for years. Friends through 
high school and sharing 2 passions, teaching and cross country jogging.

The one thing they didn't share was the reason why they both loved to run. You 
see for years Stephanie's been captivated to say the least with cast and 
crutches.  Ever since she saw her mother in a long plaster cast for months and 
breaking her own ankle, she's been deeply wishing to experience a medical cast 
again.

The sky was very dark and gray,  it was raining and the trails were a huge  
muddy mess. Having a body that was a little more in shape than Stephanie's, 
Mario had been doing a little better on the run. Stephanie was by no means out 
of shape.

Stephanie caught back up with Mario. Mario was struck by how sexy she looked 
right then. Covered in sweat and grime, she was easily the most beautiful 
teacher he was working with. She was married o was she divorce now? Nobody 
really knew, Stephanie kept her private life to herself and one very special 
friend. 

Better be best friends.

"Well lets press on, I's getting dark and we have a long way to go," she said. 
running faster on the slippery trail Stephanie leading the came alongside a 
large cliff. Rain began to fall harder.

Suddenly part of the bank that Stephanie was running on gave way, and she 
disappeared over the side.

"Stephanie, are you ok?" Mario yelled! Running over to where the earth broke 
away, he saw Stephanie holding on to her left leg. 

Throwing his pack to the ground he lay over her.

"Oh god Mario my leg. I thin k I broke my leg" 

"Shhh, it's ok, don't move Stephanie," he said. Gently wrapping his arms tighter 
around her and pulling her face to his chest and he gently stroked her hair. 

"Let me check your leg" 

"God what did I do? I'm sure it's broken" She said and for the first time she 
really realized what it met. Cast crutches and weeks of pleasure but now it was 
pain.

He began  to check on her leg. Blessing the first aid class he had been required 
to take was going to useful.

He pulled out the first aid kit that he took everywhere with him, and set to 
work on her leg. Spreading out a blanket on the ground he told her that he was 
going to slightly run his hand all over her leg. Biting her lip she remembered 
so often fantasizing about that.

Mario let out a small gasp as he touched her perfectly shaped legs. Forcing 
himself to take on a doctor's mindset, he forced such thoughts out of his mind 
and went to work.

The leg was broken and so was her ankle and thankfully it was a clean break, no 
compound fracture. He was going to straight her leg before putting on a splint. 

"I'm sorry Stephanie but you are right your leg is broken and so is your ankle. 
I will have to realign the  bone before I can splint your leg"

"OK let's do it now" She said scared and excited at the same time

Mario grabbed Stephanie's broken ankle and she jumped from the pain but he had 
no choice.  He started to pull on her injured leg harder.

"Oh Please Mario Stop, I can't do this, My leg is so sore"

"We have to do this if we want to be able to transport you, one more minute"  
Mario said while giving her broken leg one last strong pull and they both heard 
the bones snapped into places.

He gently stroked her cheek With so much pain Stephanie moaned while trying to 
accept that the worst was done but the pain was just so bad.

"Are you OK?" He asked her

"Yes, yes I think I will be fine but you need to splint my leg and ankle for the 
night. We wont be able to go back to the city tonight, it's getting way too 
dark" 

Mario found 2 branches and with the Ace bandage that he always carry in his back 
pack he was going to be able to create a splint for her broken leg. He put the 
branch on each side of her and slowly wrapped her broken ankle and up her leg 
with the bandages.

While he was doing this, he was once again struck by her beauty. Even injured 
she was so sexy

First thing he did was to build a fire and sat Stephanie down next to it so she 
could stay warm. 

Stephanie reached down towards her broken leg, but before she could Mario 
brushed her  hand away from it telling her not to touch it as it is still very 
tender. 
      
Allowing her to fall against his chest, he wrapped his arms around her and they 
sat there for many minutes just staring at the fire. 

It was Mario who broke the silence first by saying that he thought that they 
would be at the hospital first thing in the morning. He was worried that her leg 
was bothering her.

"Oh Mario, I'm so sorry. Me and my stupid clumsiness. Now can you even imagine 
teaching while wearing a cast and using crutches?" She said hiding the joy and 
pleasure she was feeling right now.

"Stephanie you'll be fine and to be honest it will be nice to see both of your 
sexy legs exposed. You are so beautiful cast or no cast" As he said this he 
lifted her face up and dropped a soft, light kiss on her lips.

The shock on both of their faces was evident. Neither of them had ever shown any 
of their feelings towards the other for fear of what would happen to their 
friendship, but now they locked themselves in a passionate embrace and all of 
their feelings for each other were released in a storm of passionate kissing and 
petting.

As they came up for a breath, Mario looked Stephanie in the eyes and whispered 
how he had wanted this for so long, but did she really, truly feel the same. 
Lacking the words to describe to him how she felt she reached up to caress his 
face and they resumed their kissing once more.
