Playing Doctor (21 page)

It was Thursday night,
and Nikki was relaxing on the sofa next to Hunter as they watched the tube. She had stuck to her decision and hadn't brought up the incident, reassuring herself that Hunter's caring behavior toward her hadn't changed at all. Maybe, just maybe, there was an innocent explanation for why he had lied to her about his whereabouts, but her patience was beginning to wear thin.

Then out of the blue, Hunter asked, “Do you realize that tomorrow is exactly six months since our first date when you took me out for pizza?”

“Really.”
Where is this going?
Nikki wondered anxiously. Was he preparing to tell her that it had been nice while it lasted, but now he'd found something better?

Interrupting her private worries, Hunter queried, “Did you keep the night open like I asked?”

“Umm, yes.”

“Great! Would you consider wearing your sexy red-and-black lingerie again? I think it's really hot knowing you have them on underneath your clothes…our little secret. Also maybe wear a dress. We're going somewhere fancy.”

Nikki sucked in a large rush of air. She hadn't realized that she had been holding her breath. She also stopped worrying about whatever Hunter had been up to last Tuesday. Clearly he still wanted her and had even remembered their six-month anniversary! Nikki was filled with pleasure and a dose of relief, if not complete reassurance.

“Sure, I will, and you can take them off me later in the evening.” She smiled deliciously at Hunter and winked.

All through the next day at work, Nikki was thrilled every time she recalled that Hunter had remembered something as romantic as a six-month milestone. She could hardly wait for the day to end. Occasionally, however, nagging doubt rose up again, but each time Nikki would tell herself she was being ridiculous. Hunter wouldn't have planned a special celebration if he were planning to dump her.

After arriving home from work, Nikki dressed for the evening in her sexiest short, little evening number—something new she had just purchased. Earlier in the afternoon, she'd played hooky for an hour and had gone for a haircut. The stylist had done a very good job of blow-drying Nikki's longish brown hair into an attractive full style. Looking in the mirror with her makeup on, Nikki felt confident that she looked both pretty and sexy.

She was surprised when Hunter took her to an elegant place on Restaurant Row. He must have told them it was a special night because he and Nikki were seated in a little alcove that felt very secluded. They sat side by side, their shoulders touching, alone in their private thoughts.

“How did we score such an exclusive table?” Nikki asked.

“I got help from the new receptionist who has a special ‘in' here. Her boyfriend is a waiter, and on Tuesday she brought me over to see the place. I kept that secret from you for a few days…that I hadn't been studying. I feel relieved that I can finally tell you about it. Silly, but it felt like I was lying to you.”

Instantly, Nikki felt great relief.
Thank
God
I
kept
my
mouth
shut
. Hunter had just been planning this big surprise. The fact that he mentioned the receptionist had a boyfriend was an added bonus. In her excitement, Nikki turned and gave Hunter a huge hug and a wet kiss. Before she pulled back, Hunter grabbed her to extend the kiss into something deep and hot that left Nikki panting and tingling.

“I love this place. It's so very romantic, and thank you for remembering our six-month anniversary,” she exclaimed.

Then the waiter arrived with menus, and Nikki was shocked at the exorbitant prices. Although she didn't say anything, she was concerned, knowing that Hunter still had massive student loans, along with paying his share of the cost of the new furniture and monthly rent. Nikki decided to order the least expensive thing on the menu and skip the salad, saying she'd had a big lunch. Even so, Hunter ordered Nikki's favorite martini for her and later a bottle of sparkling wine although she tried to demur, saying they didn't need to go all out.

But he insisted, and after their waiter poured the bubbly, Hunter raised his glass and made a toast. “To my beautiful Nikki. I'm so glad you've come into my life.”

“Thank you, Hunter. I'm glad you are in mine too!”

The meal was delicious, and they talked quietly about nothing…and everything…as lovers can sometimes do, while holding hands in their quiet corner. As they finished the bottle of bubbly, Nikki was becoming a little woozy from the alcohol, and Hunter's gentle caresses on her back were sending hot, tingling vibrations down her spine. Her thighs were clenched together at the wicked sensations.

“You got me drunk on purpose, didn't you? You want to take advantage of me later this evening,” she teased with a glimmer in her eye.

“What can I say? Even here in the restaurant, I want to slide my hand under your dress and run my fingers over the lace covering your pussy,” he whispered hotly into her ear as his hand gently squeezed her thigh. “It's pretty much all I've been thinking about for the last hour.”

“So let's get out of here,” Nikki said, quivering in response.

“Check, please!” Hunter called out with a laugh.

After they left the restaurant and were walking along the sidewalk trying to catch a taxi, Hunter told her, “I hope you don't mind, but I need to stop by the clinic for a few minutes. I forgot some files at the end of the day that I need to go over later tonight.”

Nikki was more than a little unhappy at the idea that Hunter planned to interrupt their magical night for work. His naughty banter in the restaurant made her want to go straight home and strip his clothes off. However, she knew Hunter wouldn't ask if he didn't really need to go there. She wanted to pout but instead said, “Well, it is on the way, so okay. But I hope it won't take too long. I want to get home for some fun, if you get my drift.”

“Absolutely! I'm one hundred percent with you there.”

Once inside the taxicab, Hunter pulled Nikki into his arms and slowly brought his mouth down to hers. After a few minutes of hot, demanding kisses, she was giggling and ready to agree to anything he wanted. They pulled up in front of the brownstone that housed the clinic, and she hurriedly got out, wanting to get this over with as quickly as possible.

“Okay, let's get those files and get on home,” she said, smiling at him.

Hunter unlocked the door
to the building and turned off the security code after they entered. Gesturing to the lobby sofa, he said, “Why don't you just wait here while I get what I need? Let's keep the lights off so no one comes snooping, and I've got the front door locked again.”

“Okay, but hurry, please,” Nikki said, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek before sitting down.

“I'll be quick,” he replied, smiling back at her.

She sat down on the sofa and relaxed backward, letting her eyes drift shut. She was beginning to realize that she was more than a little drunk, but in a good way.
I
guess
I
had
more
wine
than
I
thought.
She wanted to hold on to the sensual feelings from their brief ride in the taxi—the feel of his hands sliding around her body, his wet kisses trailing along her neckline, then his tongue playing in her mouth. Nikki groaned aloud and moved restlessly. Grabbing some files seemed to be taking a long time.
What is he doing, anyway?
she wondered as she saw him going from room to room.

“Hey, what are you doing back there?” she called playfully down the hall. “It looks like you're straightening up the place. I thought you just had to get some files.”

“Oh, I just can't find what I need. It'll just be another minute, I promise,” he called back from inside an exam room.

Almost immediately after that, Nikki was surprised to see Hunter walking toward her with only one small file in his hand. Strangely, he now wore his lab coat and a stethoscope around his neck.

“What's going on?” she asked, pouting. “It looks like you are getting ready to actually work.”

Hunter came to a stop in front of her. Looking down, he smiled—his sexy dimples on maximum—and said huskily, “Well, I was thinking… Remember how we fantasized about getting down and dirty here a while ago? Would you like to celebrate our six months together back here at the site of our arousing fiasco? I think it's time we finish your exam
properly
.”

Nikki gasped, so surprised that she jumped to her feet. “You're kidding, right?” She teased, “I was right. That
is
why you were plying me with alcohol! You want to take advantage of your patient…you
naughty
doctor, you!”

“So, how about it? Let's…
play
doctor
,” Hunter said, grinning mischievously.

Nikki looked him up and down and was struck by how handsome he looked in his professional attire—the white lab coat setting off his golden tan and blond, blue-eyed Adonis looks even in the darkened room. He was every woman's fantasy doctor—handsome, thoroughly masculine, and ready to give her
very
personal service.

Hunter returned her perusal, letting his eyes slide slowly, caressingly down her body. He gave her such a hot, lascivious look that it sent an electric jolt coursing straight to her sex. The combination of alcohol and the sudden rush of desire made Nikki dizzy, and she wobbled in her high heels. Hunter quickly reached out and dragged her into his arms before she could tumble back down onto the couch. He gave her a passionate kiss, his tongue pulsing in and out of her mouth seductively, before pulling back to wait for her answer.

After imagining the many possibilities of the erotic game he was proposing, Nikki leaned provocatively in toward him and demanded, “Dr. Sterling! Examine me, please! I have aches all over that need to be checked out…thoroughly.”

A wide, cocky grin spread across Hunter's face as he hungrily stared at Nikki. “I want to rip your clothes off right here in the lobby, but I also want to play with you in there.” He gestured back to an exam room. Affecting his most professional doctorly demeanor, Hunter looked down at his file and formally requested, “Ms. Woods, why don't you follow me to the examination room.”

“Yes, Doctor,” she replied, giggling as he pulled her by the hand down the hall.

“Oh, wow!” Surprised, Nikki stopped at the threshold and gazed around the small room. Replacing the stark overhead lights were many small votive candles placed everywhere, which gave the usually sterile room a romantic atmosphere. Soft music played on the sound system, and the exam table had a soft sheet on it instead of crinkly tissue paper.

“It's beautiful, really…and pretty music too!” she exclaimed.

“That's one small change I've made already here,” he said, dropping character for a moment. “I thought patients would be more relaxed with some quiet music to listen to while they wait, and they already had a sound system in place so I asked the other doctors to give it a try. We've gotten good responses to it so far.”

Also dropping character, Nikki voiced a small worry. “Playing naughty doctor with you sounds really hot, but what about someone coming in here, another doctor or the cleaning staff or something? I don't want you to get into trouble.”

“I've been planning this for a while. Actually, that's partly why I've been studying here a couple nights a week. Now I know everyone's schedule, and the chance of anyone showing up here tonight is almost nil,” he said, obviously proud of his ruse and all the effort he had put into this evening.

Clearing his throat, Hunter transformed back into sexy doctor mode and reached out one finger to let it slowly trail down Nikki's body in her tight, short dress. She tingled everywhere he touched her.

“Ms. Woods. Please take off your clothes. Here is a sheet for you to wrap your body in….and keep your bra and underwear on for now. I'll take those off myself,” he said wickedly.

But rather than leave the room as was convention, Hunter closed the door behind himself and leaned lazily back against it to watch. Maybe it was the alcohol from dinner or maybe it was the craziness of the location, but Nikki was totally intoxicated with a wild desire beyond anything she had experienced before. She was both light-headedly woozy and magnificently aroused at the same time.

Nikki looked at Hunter, and a slow, seductive smile lit her face as she realized how far she had come. Not only was the “new” Nikki brave enough to perform a deliberate striptease for his viewing pleasure, but she would enjoy every minute of it too. With her gaze locked on his eyes, she slowly grasped the hem of her dress and raised it inch by inch until her panties were just starting to peek out.

Turning, Nikki looked over her shoulder at him as she raised it farther to reveal her lace-covered fanny, then she twerked for him like a star stripper. Hunter was watching her intently, a small naughty smile playing on his lips, and Nikki felt his gaze upon her body like a hot brand. It made her pussy clench and her breasts tighten.

Reveling in the feel of being a seductress, Nikki continued turning around until she again faced him. She raised her dress the rest of the way to reveal herself fully to him, then pulled it off. After throwing the dress onto a chair, Nikki strutted seductively to the exam table. She turned around and sat on it with crossed legs, swinging a sexy high-heeled pump a little to accentuate her long legs. Then, rather than wrapping herself in the sheet Hunter had given her, Nikki slowly pulled it across her body, enjoying the feel of the soft material gliding across her skin before she let it slide off to drop to the floor. By way of finale, Nikki leaned back on her hands—her legs still glamorously crossed—arched her back, and provocatively thrust her breasts upward on display.

“I'm
ready
, doctor,” she singsonged as she slowly eased herself back to almost lying down, still thrusting her bosom in the air.

Dropping the file to the floor, Hunter choked. “Well, I'm ready too… That's for sure.”

He stalked slowly toward her, leering at her lingerie-covered body. “Thank you for remembering to wear your hot panties and bra. I can still see them in my mind so clearly hanging there on the wall,” he said, nodding his head toward the hooks. “When I saw them there six months ago, all I could think about was what they would look like on your body. It was a little distracting.”

Leaning casually over her, he put his stethoscope into his ears. “This may shock you just a little,” he said with an impish grin as he placed it on her breast and slid it under her bra.

“It's freezing!” Nikki shrieked. “What did you do?” She sucked in her breath sharply as she felt the ice-cold metal gliding over an already peaked, aching nipple.

Moaning, she arched upward into it.

Smiling wickedly, he said, “I had it in the freezer. Do you like it?” He moved the shocking metal slowly to her other breast. “This is only the beginning. I promise you this will be an examination unlike anything you've had before.”

Really getting into the game, Nikki imagined that he was nothing more than a clinical physician—practically a stranger to her—and this formal, professional man was about to do very improper things to her body. Curling, tightening sensations skittered down from her aching nipples to her pussy, and she began to pant as she listened to the doctor's sexy voice talk about what he had in store for her.

“Hmm,” he said as he pulled out the stethoscope and placed it on the counter, “everything seems in order but I'll need to examine your breasts thoroughly, just to be sure.” After sliding one hand under her back, he expertly snapped open the bra, all the while staring hotly down at her.

Feeling the bra come undone, Nikki murmured, “My, my, Doctor, you do have dexterous fingers, don't you?”

“The better to examine you with, my dear.”

Hunter slowly pulled the bra off, kissed it, and turned to hang it almost reverently on the wall. He arranged it a little until it looked just like it did six months ago, hanging there with the rhinestones twinkling on top. As he turned back to her, he said, “I think you'll find, Ms. Woods, that it's not just my fingers that are dexterous.”

Staring down at her now-naked chest, he slowly lowered his mouth and reached out his tongue to swirl languidly around one of the nipples. His hand came up to gently fondle her other breast, meticulously caressing the entire mound as if he was doing the most erotic breast exam ever. The pressure of his hand intensified as he began to squeeze and play with her nipple while his mouth latched on to suck deeply on the other one. Moaning audibly now, Nikki reached up and clasped his head to her chest.

Rising up slightly, he said, “I'm sorry, Ms. Woods, but I must insist that you leave your hands by your sides. As a doctor, I need the freedom to
thoroughly
examine you.”

There was a dangerous, authoritative glint to his eye that made her shiver. “I wouldn't want to have to use restraints, but…” Hunter let it trail off as she sucked in her breath at his shocking threat. She obediently released his head and laid her hands by her sides, even as she continued to arch her back toward him.

“Dr. Sterling!” she exclaimed. “You're very,
very
wicked!”

“My sweet Ms. Woods. I just want to give you the most personal, intimate care that I can.”

Enjoying the kinky game, Nikki murmured, “I'm sorry, Doctor. Please continue. I'll comply with whatever
position
you require from me, I promise.” Feeling wildly sinful herself, she swirled her shoulders around to make her breasts jiggle slightly in front of his face. Standing over her, Hunter eyed her hungrily as he reached out and tweaked both her nipples sharply with his fingers.

“Oh!” she exclaimed at the faintly painful pinch. “Oh, you are so bad!” But she didn't raise her hands to stop him. She was following doctor's orders.

Switching breasts, he continued flicking one nipple with his fingers and sucking ardently on the other. Then his hands moved to explore around her body. It felt so very good that Nikki wanted badly to grab on to him again. Having to hold herself back made it that much more enthralling. She rocked her head slightly from side to side as her moans grew louder, her legs spreading open almost of their own volition. She could tell that she was getting wet. Slowly he raised his head from her breast and then kissed her on the lips, his tongue sliding in and out of her mouth as a low groan escaped from him to meld with Nikki's panting moans.

Standing up, he taunted, “You're a very good patient, Ms. Woods, but let's see how truly obedient and responsive you can be, shall we?”

Nikki was so overwhelmed that all she could do was nod in answer. Breathless, she felt edgy, hot, and swollen.

“I want to test your somatic senses, so please, Ms. Woods, shut your eyes and keep them shut. Noncompliance will result in restraints and a blindfold. Understood?”

Nikki nodded again before shutting her eyes. She listened intently as he moved about, opening a drawer and picking something up. She felt a wafting tingle fluff down her body, across her belly, and down her thighs to her ankles. Nikki moaned at the delightful pleasure. Then the featherlight touch swirled around her breasts and she recognized it. Hunter was using a feather to stimulate her skin.

“Good responses,” the doctor noted. Then sternly, “Hold still now.”

Nikki mewled at the sharp pricks that trailed along her body. Everywhere the points stung her, her skin quivered until her entire body was trembling. It took all her willpower to keep her eyes shut. Even though this was just a game—she could end it at any time—she felt helpless and vulnerable. It heightened her remaining senses and made everything seem bigger, more pronounced. When she felt the points rolling up her thigh, she keened loudly, wanting him to go all the way up but at the same time not wanting it.

“You may open your eyes now, Ms. Woods.” He showed her a silver metal object. “Your response to the Wartenberg neurowheel was highly satisfactory.”

Then Hunter took out a latex glove and pulled it on with a snap. Nikki jumped slightly at the loud sound. He winked and wiggled his fingers in front of her face before dragging a latex-covered finger slowly down her body, making her pant. In his most professional tone he instructed, “I want your full cooperation as I continue with the internal part of the exam. Do you understand?”
