“Sorry,” Dr. Goodfreid smiled. “I meant a virgin at exams. Bad joke.” When he smiled, his eyes crinkled at the edges in the most adorable way. April put his age around 35 or so. She wondered if he was straight or gay; she could see a doctor wanting to look at pussy all day go either way.
“Ha,” April chuckled. “Funny. Yes, I guess in that way, I am a virgin.”
“Are you having regular sex?”
“Excuse me?”
“Are you having regular sex right now? It’s a routine question.”
“Um, no, I’m not.” None of her friends had told her that part of her pelvic exam would be admitting that she hadn’t had sex in ages, and he had caught her off guard with the question enough that she hadn’t even thought to lie.
“That’s okay, it’s overrated.” Dr. Goodfreid winked at her, standing and walking to the door. “I’m going to go grab a nurse and then we’ll get started.” He opened the door and closed it again. April put her hands to her face and shook her head.
“Jesus Christ, could I be more awkward?” No, she decided. More awkwardness was not possible. Of course, she thought, I haven’t had a cold piece of metal shoved into me and cranked open yet, so there’s always the possibility things could get worse…
The door opened and Dr. Goodfreid came back in with Nurse Tricia behind him. Tricia closed the door and stood next to it. With Tricia in the room, April felt a small wave of calm come over her. She knew that, no matter what, she had a focal point and a place to put her attention for the duration of her exam.
“All right, Ms. West,” Dr. Goodfreid said as he washed his hands. “Go ahead and lie back. We’ll do your breast exam first, then your pelvic, and then you’ll be out of here.”
April’s stomach jumped; this was it. Her anxiety was back full force and she felt her heart pounding in her chest. She looked over at Nurse Tricia, who was looking at her and smiling. She mouthed ‘it’s okay’ to April, and gave her the “A-Okay” sign with her fingers. Deep breaths, April told herself. If Tricia said it would be okay, it would be okay.
Dr. Goodfreid walked over to April and rubbed his hands together. “I’ll tell you what I’m doing as I do it,” he said, “so you don’t have to worry. Right now, I’m rubbing my hands together so they don’t freeze your skin when I touch you.”
“That’s kind of you,” April said, trying to smile through her nerves.
He grinned. “Nothing but the best for my patients,” he said. “Right, Nurse Tricia?”
“Right-o, Doc!” she said. The two exchanged a look that April caught but didn’t quite understand. She wondered with a small spark of jealousy if they were sleeping together and decided that they probably were. She took a deep breath in and let it out slowly as the doctor pulled her arm from her gown and slid the gown down to expose her right breast. The air was cold, but the doctor’s fingers were warm, and April closed her eyes.
Most of her friends had female doctors, and they were surprised when April had said her doctor for this particular exam was a man.
“Well, I’m straight, right, so if I can just pretend that he and I have been out for drinks and he’s taken me back to his apartment to make out with me, I think the entire process will be far more relaxing,” she had said, laughing. Her friends laughed along with her and shook their heads.
The doctor padded along her breast in a circle, and April shivered. When she did, her nipple grew erect immediately. She opened her eyes and looked up at Dr. Goodfreid. He was looking at her breast as he was working, but glanced at her when he saw her open her eyes. He smiled at her.
“So, April, what do you do for a living?”
His fingertips shifted on her breast, still moving in a circular motion but he brought up his other hand and pressed his palm against the edge of her right breast. His palm was warm and his fingers actually felt good, and, as April looked at his face lined with concentration, she felt the familiar wetness between her legs start up again. She shifted, and Dr. Goodfreid smiled down at her.
“Everything okay?” he asked.
“I appreciate the foreplay,” she joked, and then blushed. Seriously? she thought. Did you just say that out loud?
Both the doctor and Nurse Tricia laughed.
“Well, the surgeon general says that breast exams are a necessity for early detection of breast cancer, but that’s just a line; we really do them to warm you up for the speculum. Obviously.”
April laughed with relief; thank goodness her doctor had a sense of humor.
As they laughed, he continued moving his hand and the tip of his index finger brushed across her nipple. A spark of electricity burst through her, and her eyes widened. The doctor didn’t look at her or do anything differently, so she assumed it was an accident. Well, your nipples are hard enough to poke the man’s eyes out,” she scolded herself. What do you want from the guy?
The doctor finished with her right breast and held the gown sleeve so she could put her arm through. He stayed where he was and pulled her gown back on the left side, repeating the same circular touching he had done on the right. When his fingertip grazed her left nipple, she arched an eyebrow at him. That was intentional, and they both knew it.
She made a small noise in her throat and he looked done at her.
“Sorry…?” he said, with a slight inflection at the end of the word, as if he wasn’t so much sorry as he was wondering if he should be sorry.
“Why?” she asked. “No need to be.” She couldn’t believe how she was acting, but, honestly, if she could pretend that he was not a doctor but, rather, someone she was intimate with, wouldn’t that allow her body to relax more during the exam? And, the fact that she was very attracted to him, well, that just made the fantasy easier. If he was willing to play along, then she was pretty sure that this exam wouldn’t be even close to the nightmare she’d been expecting.
