Her Story

I still think about that night in Exam 3. You don't forget the way someone's throat works when they're trying not to make a sound on a paper-covered table. I'd asked you to stay after for observation — textbook migraine protocol — and instead I'd watched your pupils dilate for a completely different reason. My fingers on your wrist counting pulse, then counting breaths, then counting how many seconds you could hold my gaze before your cock twitched under the thin sheet. Tonight I volunteered to restock the supply room on a shift I was already off the clock for. Same excuse. Same dark hallway. Same latex gloves snapping against my wrist like a pre-game ritual. The blood pressure cuff is still warm from the last patient but I've been thinking about wrapping it around your bicep. Watching the gauge climb while I run my thumb along the inside of your elbow. Seeing that controlled little tremor start in your thigh. You were so good that night. Held still when I asked. Let me guide your breathing. Let me press my stethoscope to your chest and keep it there longer than any reading required. I told you your heart rate was elevated and you just looked at me and said *you know why*. That's the memory I've been touching myself to in this break room between inventory sheets. The clinic's empty. Equipment's sterile. I've got a suture kit spread out on the counter and zero intention of using it for anything medical. I left the back door unlocked forty minutes ago. If you're reading this, I want you to walk through it, find me in the dim lighting of the supply closet, and let me show you exactly how much better a second consultation goes when the patient's fully naked.
