Character Spotlight: Dr. Alexis Harris
(As posted on our Patreon Page)
While she was still a young girl, growing up in Southern Georgia, Alexis Harris’ older brother had been severely crippled, at the age of 16, when his car was hit head-on by a drunk driver while on his way home from work at the local McDonalds.
Alexis got to see firsthand how a traumatic event could forever shape and change… not just the individual’s life, but also the surrounding family members.
Although Travon had initially survived the accident, spending the remainder of his preciously short life living in a wheelchair, requiring to be hand fed, changed and needing constant attention before a blood clot found its way to his damaged brain and killed him, the damage to their family had been much swifter.
Unable to handle the financial burdens and stress placed on the family by their mom quitting her job to care for her older brother, their father eventually grew tired of the endless arguments, packed his bags and left her mother and her to deal with trying to survive and also take care of Travon on their own.
Life was difficult in those days and any idea that she could have a future like the one she now has was only a pipe dream and seemed an impossibility back then.
Alexis dropped out of school, to become homeschooled while she cared for her brother, while her mother worked two jobs to care for Travon and her. At night, her mother would take over caring for Travon while making sure that Alexis did her schoolwork and kept up her grades…
…and then, the blood clot.
Using the insurance money from Travon’s passing, her mother used that money to put Alexis through college, never once complaining and trying to be sure that Alexis could have a future that her oldest boy never got to have.
For Alexis, Travon was the reason that she became a phycologist, specializing in traumatic events with the hope of trying to help individual and their families mentally deal with and, hopefully, handle those events and not suffer the same way that her own family had.
Which is how, through their insurance company, Alexis came to be the doctor for Brent and Carley Chambers after a hit and run accident made Brent partially to permanently paralyzed.
Used to individuals failing to come to terms with the incidents that forever changes their lives, eventually affecting the lives of those around them, she was surprised to see that Brent had seemingly accepted the situation and the struggles he would now be facing as easily that he had.
Having met both Brent and Carley, it was clear to see that acceptance was in no small part, due to the strong bond that Brent has with his wife, Carley… a bond that Alexis has promised herself to make sure remained as strong as it was when she first met them or stronger.
Which is why, shortly after Brent makes the suggestion during one of her counseling sessions with both him and his wife, that Carley should find herself a lover to make sure that his wife’s sexual needs, that he is unable to provide for, are taken care of... Alexis decides to help guide them both through their sexual journeys together.
Will she be successful in helping the two of them in this area?
Just how far is she willing to go to help the Chambers down this new path of sexual discovery?
And will her ethics still remain intact while doing so?
That, of course, will be up to
you.
