“It, um, it makes my clit throb and my pussy grows wet.” Her voice went very quiet as she spoke. But she wasn’t sure if it was due to embarrassment or unease. Suddenly, she wondered if this was a stupid idea.
She’d had check-ups with Doc before and never had an issue. Although she did her best to avoid visiting him and she never breathed easy until she left his office.
“Very good. That’s a very normal reaction.” Zeke placed a blood pressure cuff around her upper arm as he spoke. Then it started to inflate as her heart raced.
Zeke frowned and looked at the heart beat monitor.
“Young lady, are you. . .”
“I want to stop,” she blurted out. “Please. Venice.”
His eyes widened. But without a word, he undid her restraints and took off all the monitors. “It’s okay, baby. You’re all right,” he said to her soothingly as he grabbed a soft blanket from the shelves and sitting her up, wrapped it around her.
“C-can we get out of here?”
He picked her up and carried her out, leaving her chair and clothing behind. She shook in his arms, unsure why she’d reacted like she had.
Stupid. Stupid.
He entered the nursery and moved sit on the bed, holding her on his lap.
“Eden, what happened?” he asked worriedly.
She tried to give him a reassuring look. Pretty impossible when she was fracturing inside. What was wrong with her? Why the hell did she just freak out? Zeke was only trying to give her what she wanted and she’d ruined it all.
Beep-beep-beep.
The sound of the heart monitor had freaked her out. But that had never happened before. Why then?
“Eden? Are you all right? What happened in the medical room? Why did you say your safeword? Were you in pain?”
You should lie.
No. No, she’d promised. He never lied to her.
Beep-beep-beep.
It was the first sound she remembered after her accident. The beeping of the heart monitor. The smell of antiseptic. Feeling woozy. Out of it. The sound of her brothers talking to each other. Someone crying.
“Eden? Jesus, baby. Talk to me.”
She stared up at Zeke, saw how blurred he appeared.
“I’m crying.”
“You need to tell me what happened,” he urged.
She licked her dry lips as he wiped away her tears. He pulled her onto his lap, holding her close.
“I don’t know why. . .it just, I’ve been to the doctor since, and the hospital, and that never happened to me before.”
He grew stiff. “What is it? What happened?”
“I was thrown back into the past. Just for a minute,” she whispered. “I don’t know why.”
She killed them. All her fault.
A sob ripped out of her.
