Rub Me the Right Way(56)
She mumbled something underneath her breath. The only person that could hear what she was saying was herself. She was lambasting Jennifer for being bullied and she thought that her assistant was above that sort of thing. She had made it abundantly clear from the moment that she hired her that she was going to have to be her last line of defense.
There was nothing, but silence and it gave her sense of calm to think that Jennifer was doing what she was told. She did like the spunk of this 22 year old kid. There was a small part of her that wanted to live vicariously through some of her stories of late night escapades. She remembered blushing the first time that she told her of the three some that turned out to be an all out orgy by the end of it. She secretly placed herself into those scenarios. She would never do such a thing in real life. She did feel this need to fantasize.
The knock came back, but this time it was louder than it was before. “Don’t blame your assistant. I told her that I was coming back here and if she tried to stop me that I would walk right past her anyway. To her credit, she did try to block my path, but I easily lifted her out of the way. She told me what you said and I’m afraid I’m going to have to use that against you. It is my right to be seen by any doctor that I choose without the threat of prejudice.” Keith Starr knew what it was to be put under the spotlight.
He was a charismatic young billionaire with a multiyear contract with the Phoenix Coyotes. He was worried about constant headaches and fatigue. He hadn’t told his trainer, but one of his best friends had given him the name of Tina Sterling. He was reluctant to see a female Dr., but his friend assured him that she was all about discretion. His friend’s sister was a famous tennis player. She had a condition that if made public would become an albatross around her neck. She would not be finding any sponsors, because they wouldn’t be able to take a chance on her not being able to play.
“I don’t care who you are and I certainly don’t respond to those kinds of threats.” Her voice was laced with annoyance. She rubbed her eyes. She was looking at these pages and knowing that there was no end in sight. “Leave or I’m going to call the police and tell them that I have an intruder.” She didn’t think that she would go that far, but she was trying to put this man back on his heels.
“Look, I can either report you or I can go to the press and make a big stink out of you being prejudiced about men. How do you suppose that will look to the public?” He was about to hammer down his fist on to the door one more time, but it wasn’t necessary. It swung open to the agitated expression on Tina’s face. He looked at her and for a moment became speechless. He couldn’t help, but to admire the woman’s confidence, but also her hidden need for something a lot more than just a good book to curl up to. Her curves and the way that she moved made him want to see more of what was under that lab coat. He loved his women with more than the average woman.
“You have 5 minutes to tell me what you want. It wasn’t necessary to become this belligerent. I would have gladly seen you, but I was busy and I demanded my assistant to keep my schedule light. Since you’ve already come all this way, I suppose I should listen to what you have to say. I’m sure that you think that you’re some big deal, but I really don’t know you.” She looked at him and the way that suit hung on his body and she could only think about what he would look like without it.
“I can’t believe that you have no idea who I am. It’s that close to the playoffs that you’d think that my reputation would precede me. I’m guessing that you’re not much for sports and that you find most if not all of them barbaric. I have the fate of my team riding on what happens here. They are expecting me to put on a show that’s going to put that cup in our hands.” He thought that he could make her see the importance, but she didn’t seem the least bit impressed.
“Like I said, I’m sure that you are a big deal to someone, but you’re not to me. Once you come through that door, you are my patient and I will give you my undivided attention. What exactly can I do for you and why is it that you insist on beating around the bush.”
The only bush that he wanted to be around was hers, but he was not going to make the mistake of trying to seduce a woman that had this ice cold exterior. He felt that cold chill through his bones, but she did seem like she was responsive to his advances. He wondered if maybe she could be that elusive whale that everybody was talking about. There was always that one that was unattainable, unless of course you had the good looks and charm to make their panties melt off their body.
Tina looked at this black man with short cropped hair and muscular physique. She knew him to be a slave to his body. She wanted to pity him for that, but she couldn’t. She had once been reluctant to step into a gym, but when she did, it was like she had been born again. She became addicted to looking at herself in the mirror after every workout to see the results. Those days of worrying about her physical makeup was over. She may have been big boned, but she had found a way to mold that into something to be proud of.
“I was hoping that I could take things easy and get down to what is bothering me in time. It appears that you are in a hurry and I guess I’m just going to happen blurt it out. I have to take my annual checkup and I’m worried about what they’re going to find. There are times that I can’t sleep and my mind races with images of failure on the ice. At first, I thought it might be a panic attack, but now my hands are trembling and my breathing is getting a little heavy. I feel tired all the time and it’s an effort to just get out of bed sometimes in the morning.” He watched for any kind of reaction, but mostly she was stone faced through the whole spiel.
“Those symptoms could be a multitude of different things. Some are easily medicated and others are more severe that could cost you your career. I don’t want you be worried and we may as well get down to the meat of the matter. I’m going to have to ask you to disrobe and get completely naked. I’m going to be taking some blood samples and I will need you to pee in this jar. I’ll give you a few moments alone to complete the task, but then I will make a very quick study under the microscope. This building is equipped with its own test lab downstairs and I have a few markers that I can call upon to get them posthaste.” She didn’t know why, but she wanted to touch him. Tina knew that she didn’t really need him to get undressed, but that was the perk of being a Dr. and having that kind of power in the palm of her hand.
Chapter two
He folded his suit and hung it over the chair that was near the table with the stirrups. He had a pretty good idea of what they were used for and was hoping that he wasn’t going to have to be subjected to that kind of humiliation.
Tina felt like her skin was on fire. She would need to do something to alleviate the situation. She easily undid the first couple of buttons on her white blouse underneath the starch white lab coat. Her stethoscope was around her neck and she had this giddy anticipation about porting it against his chest and watching him breathe with each breath making his chest rise and fall. She could almost envision what he would be like naked and vulnerable in a situation that was ripe with sexual tension.
“I think that I’m going to head out. I do have that appointment and I did clear that with you a few days ago. I hope that he doesn’t give you too much of a hassle. I know him, but I can’t place exactly where. I know that it will come to me. I get this feeling like he might be some sort of celebrity.” Jennifer looked at her boss to see if she was going to show any signs that she was right on the money. She never smiled or showed any indication that she might be right about this.
“I’m sure that I can take care of myself. I did it for three years, before I brought you on board. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad that you’re here and you’ve taken the workload off me. You may not dress exactly the way that I would like and you certainly don’t wear the kind of makeup that makes me confident of your abilities. The test results were amazing during the interview and you have this real knack for this kind of work. You wear your hair with different colors, but you’re the most organized person that I know. I’ll see you on Monday. I look forward to hearing how your weekend goes.”
Jennifer walked out and glanced back with her hand to her mouth like she was making somebody be quiet. This was her way of thinking out loud and then it came to her where she might have seen his face before. It was on the news. She never really heard the whole story. Her memory was very sharp and eventually that little tidbit of information would be known.
She had this feeling that the usual cool demeanor of the doctor was not going to be enough to prevent this man from getting into her panties. She smiled thinking that it was about time that the doctor had a bit of fun.
Inside, Tina was pacing back and forth and wondering to herself if maybe she had bitten off more than she could chew. She wanted to believe that she could be professional and the main reason why she took female patients was to avoid these kinds of awkward situations. She didn’t want to show that she was embarrassed. This guy was built and she was afraid that she was going to fall on her knees in a compromising position.
