Josh's Nineteenth Birthday Exam
Josh was still attending classes in Portland Technical School studying forestry and auto mechanics, as he planned to work with his father and one day be a truck driver hauling logs from the forests to the sawmill when he finished his formal training. He was already driving a small delivery truck for his father's lumber company on afternoons when he didn't have classes. His physical development improved because of the heavy lumber, boxes of nails, and bags of concrete he delivered. He could see his large muscular biceps had put him in larger shirts, and he was looking forward to his annual physical, which was scheduled on his birthday.
He was surprised when he answered Karen's phone call and received an invitation to join her at her mother's oceanfront vacation home about an hour south of Portland. She said she'd like to pick him up after finishing her final office visit on Friday, as she had no physicals scheduled except his for on Saturday.
Karen said her mother might join them for the weekend, but regardless, she'd like to give Josh his birthday exam and commented it was difficult to believe an entire year had passed since she examined him last. Josh's father had told him that Karen and Ann owned a beautiful home overlooking the ocean and that he and Molly had seen photos, but never visited the area. Karen said she'd appreciate it if Josh arrived at her office about 5 PM, and she planned to leave from there instead of going to her home first.
Josh didn't know that Ann Pembroke, Karen's mother, had contacted Josh's mother and confided that Karen wanted to take Josh to her retreat for a weekend to follow up with her son on his progress since Josh was treated by Ann and examined a year earlier by Karen. Molly was fine with the plan after she learned Josh was fine, but Karen wanted to fill in some blanks in her records because both doctors believed he would make a great subject in a research report Karen planned to write.
Ann rarely talked to her old friend since they were high school friends, but Adam shared the progress Josh had made and the phobia he overcame a year earlier. Ann said she was thinking about joining Karen and Josh, but she thought Josh would be more revealing of his progress if he were alone with Karen. Molly mentioned how much Josh admired Karen and how she was confident he'd assist Karen in any way he could, and that she'd tell Adam about their weekend alone for Josh's birthday.
Molly and Adam suspected that more was planned than a simple physical exam, but neither thought Karen would be sexually interested in a man five years younger than her nor would Josh get involved with Karen. One was a brilliant medical doctor, and the other a savvy mechanic and truck driver that they were hoping would take over their business when they retired. Adam wasn't as sure as Molly that Josh wasn't interested in the shapely blond doctor with the beautiful face and long blond hair dangling past her shoulders. He never believed that Karen didn't plan to marry or have a family, but he remembered that Ann never married and hadn't planned her baby when she found herself hooked up with a professor.
Ann only provided a subtle nudge that Karen needed to remember her objectives, and nowadays there was no good excuse to get pregnant accidentally. Truth be known, there was no excuse for Ann either, but she had problems with nauseousness when she used birth control pills and instead used the calendar, which failed her.
Ann never shared the story about Professor Fender and how she traded sex for good grades. There were no reasons that she allowed him to threaten her with poor grades, but he persuaded her that he would get her sidetracked and forced to study under inferior instructors that would prevent her from getting admitted into her chosen field of psychiatry. Ann yielded to the forty-year-old professor once, and after that, she needed no persuasion to pursue his affection.
Ann believed the professor loved her, and for three months she warmed his bed most nights; but when she revealed she was pregnant, he turned her off like a water spigot and found another young coed that appealed to his tastes, which included vaginal sex almost every night and oral stimulation when her menses arrived. He was a broad-shouldered Scandinavian with insatiable sexual desires and the physical assets to satisfy more than one woman at a time.
Ann knew that Karen had plans that went far beyond the limits for doctors when it came to Josh. Ann could see the gleam in Karen's eyes each time she talked of Josh and knew Josh would be invited to sleep with her that weekend. Karen couldn't fool her mother, and Ann could understand Karen's desire for Josh. He had developed tremendously over the year since they met, and Ann knew that she would be attracted to the virile young man too, but Ann was nearing fifty years old and didn't want a desirable youthful male, like Josh, to see her wrinkles that were becoming prolific.
Karen was already waiting by the door, and all the employees and patients had left for the weekend when Josh entered the office. As they drove the 80 miles south on I-5 on the way to her beautiful vacation home, they stopped for a delightful dinner at an oceanfront restaurant and conversed about the past year's activities. Karen said she had hired Marie and was pleased with Josh's recommendation and asked how well Josh knew her. He hated to lie, but he also hated to be a man that revealed information about his lovers until she disclosed that Marie admitted that Josh was her regular lover about once every week since he helped her prepare for her examination preparedness test.
When Karen claimed that Marie had wonderful things to share with her, Josh admitted they were more than friends, and she was a dedicated woman that has a lasting memory and was always available to accommodate every wish he had. Karen said that Marie is still friends with her boyfriend in Mexico and has plans to visit him in the future, but she no longer misses him like she did before she met Josh.
