"Of course, Doctor." I'm surprised (and slightly ashamed) at how easily the words are now rolling down my tongue.
"Is there any particular reason you're concerned about the size of my hands?"
"Oh, um, none at all. I was just curious."
"I hope you're being honest with me."
A shiver tickles down my spine at the sudden firmness of his tone.
"It's my responsibility as your doctor to make you feel...better."
If that's innuendo I'm hearing, I...want more of it.
"But I won't be able to do that if you're not completely honest with me."
Oh...my.
The gentleness in his voice is gone, and in its place is a dangerously soft tone that only makes my heart hammer away even as I hear myself actuallywhisper—-
"You're scaring me, Doctor."
"Good."
Dr. Somebody purrs the word into my ear, and the sound utterly destroys me.
Oh God.
How is he able to make that word sound both like a promise and a warning all at the same time?
"I take my work very seriously," Dr. Somebody continues in a voice that threatens and seduces,concurrently. "I don't like it when my patient is dishonest...or disobedient."
I know when I'm being baited, but since this fantasy is all about me playing dumb and worrying about nothing—-
"What happens if you catch me lying or disobeying you?"
"What do you think?"
Uh oh.
The laziness of his tone throws my mind straight into the gutter, and all I can think of is my mysterious Dr. Somebody kissing his way down my body,lazily.
Who knew someone as innocent as Temptation could be so wantonly imaginative as well?
"Would you care to take a guess?"
There's that hint of innuendo again, and it's making me feel lightheaded.
You were right after all, SFI.
These first-time phone calls areeverything.The more Dr. Somebody and I talk, thelessI remember who I was before all this. It's like I've been reborn, and now that I see myself as this sweet, innocent girl—-
"I really don't know, Doctor. But whatever it is, I'm sure it's to make me feel better."
It also means that from here on, everything Dr. Somebody says or does will be perfectly fine in my eyes.
"I wonder if you truly mean that."
"Oh, but I do, Doctor!"
