it.
“ Come
in.” A deep male voice reverberated through the mahogany door.
The
young man sitting behind the large desk looked up as Teresa led her
inside the lavish office. A blue hue filled the air-conditioned room
with an added touch of chilliness. Lexi couldn’t help staring
at the tall man as he stood up. He could be in around the late
twenties, she guessed.
He
was handsome, in a very rugged sort of way. Broad shoulders flaring
wide, a deep chest that pushed against his shirt and powerful arms
that stretched his shirt sleeves filled her with wonder. His tousled
brown hair and bright blue eyes captivated her. She took a sharp
breath, feeling a fluttering in her belly and blushed a deep pink
when he smiled at her.
“ Yes,
Doctor Fletcher does have that effect on us mortal women.”
Teresa said with a laugh. “This is Lexi Anderson, Gordon. The
one you’ve been waiting for.”
“ Oh,
I say,” Gordon Fletcher stepped up to her. “It is such a
pleasure to meet you, Miss Anderson.”
“ Really,
but I’m just an intern.” Lexi managed to whisper, feeling
intimidated by the power he radiated towards her.
“ Not
just, but a very special intern.” Teresa laughed, placing a
hand on the small of Lexi’s back.
“ What
does that mean?” She asked apprehensively as the other woman
ushered her toward the centre of the room.
“ Don’t
worry about it, Miss Anderson.” Fletcher grinned. “Now
it’s time for your physical.”
“ What?”
Lexi blinked.
“ It’s
part of the job, or haven’t you been trained well at med
school?” Teresa remarked with a snigger.
“ Um,
I… sure I have…” She looked around in alarm.
“ And
taken part in many a physical exam.” Fletcher smiled.
“ Yes…
but never by…” Lexi felt a surge of panic come over her.
“ But
never by a doctor as handsome and sexy as Gordon here?” The
blonde woman almost sneered.
“ It’s
alright, Miss Anderson.” Fletcher’s calm voice floated
over her. “You won’t feel a thing. We do this for every
employee here, for the benefit of our exclusive establishment.”
“ Yes,
we certainly want the best here, and you sure are among the best.”
Teresa added. “This is just one last requirement and then
you’re truly one of us.”
“ Well,
okay.” Lexi shrugged. “What am I supposed to do now?”
“ Undress,
please.” Fletcher stated. “And lie down on the padded
table here.”
Teresa
gave her a reassuring squeeze and helped her out of her clothes.
Stripped naked as the day she was born, Lexi felt strangely
comfortable in front of the two strangers as she laid herself on the
table. She craned her neck, trying to listen in to their
whispers as they conferred in the corner.
“ We’re
ready.” Fletcher announced and the blue lights dimmed to a
purple haze. Several monitors flashed to life above them and
displayed views of her body, external and internal. Readouts of
her heartbeat, pulse, breathing pattern among other things rolled off
on the screens.
“ What’s
all this?” Lexi wondered aloud.
“ We’re
a lot more high tech than your average clinic, my dear.” Teresa
whispered into her ear. “Gordon’s going to use state of
the art instruments to determine your condition.”
“ Condition
for what?” She asked, her voice almost high pitched.
“ For
you to work here, Dearie.” Teresa smiled down at her.
“ What
kind of work?” She demanded as a strange, pleasing odor filled
her senses.
“ Relax,
Lexi.” Teresa’s soothing voice droned into her ear. “The
Doctor needs to concentrate.”
“ Ohmigod.”
Lexi shrieked as thick leather straps tightened over her wrists,
ankles and belly like constricting reptiles. “What’s
going on?”
She
heard no answers, only the strange buzzing sound of glowing
instruments Fletcher held in his hands. He moved in, touching her
bare skin
