The way I look at him should be criminal.
The thought crossed my mind as he stood in front of me. I was trying hard not to look at him like the snack he was. Of course, he was off limits. He was my boss. He was a doctor where I worked. But damn, did he make the work day fun.
"Rachel, what's going on with this patient?" That smooth voice reverberated through me. It had a hint of an Italian accent, just enough to where you could tell he spoke the language.
"Fever, chills, body aches. It's that time of year, Doc." I said. He nodded.
"Unfortunately." He said as he walked in the room.
After that the day passed by in a blur. Flu season was the worst of it. Wearing a mask all day, doing countless flu swabs. Sending patients home with little more than Tamiflu to help with their symptoms. It was almost time to go home, but I always found a reason to stay late.
"Rachel, can I ask you a question?" It was that voice, that smooth, smooth voice.
The office had cleared out. I didn't realize that he had stayed today. He usually left right after patients were done. My heart skipped a beat. Why was he still here?
"Sure, Dr. B." I said. The nerves were evident.
"You can call me Sam. We're not working." He said, amused.
"Right. Sure, Sam." If this whole thing wasn't weird enough.
"I've seen you looking at me. I just want to know what's so interesting?" He sure as hell didn't beat around the bush, did he? I sat there, dumbfounded. I really didn't know what to say.
"I uh." I stammered. I turned to look at him, he was watching me intently, yet you could tell he was amused. I decided to go for it, just tell him the truth. "You're fun to look at."
He laughed, "Well no one can say that you're not honest." The smile on his face lit up his deep chocolate brown eyes. He took a step closer to me and reached out to touch me on the shoulder.
"Maybe a little too honest?" His hand clamped down on my shoulder as I finished talking. The touch set my body on fire.
"No, just honest enough." His hand moved up to my neck.
"So no sexual harassment complaints then." I said as I took a deep breath in. I looked so frumpy in my scrubs, what was he doing?
"I don't think so." He said as he raised his hand to my face. "I made sure this place was empty."
"Oh," I was only halfway listening at this point. His fingers were laced in my hair and his face was slowly approaching mine. I took a second to thank my lucky stars that I did my makeup this morning. I almost didn't wake up in time. He stopped about an inch away from me.
"This is okay, right? I mean this is what you want? I'm not forcing myself on you?"
I nodded, it was the only thing I could do. My breath was caught in my throat as I was imagining ripping off that button down shirt. Within seconds, his mouth was against mine. My body reacted violently, finally getting what it wanted for so long. What had prompted him to do this? Was this happening? Or was it all in my head? Another fantasy, maybe? He pulled away from me slowly and stood back.
"So how was that? Everything you wanted it to be?" he said with a smile. I noted the bulge in his pants. I would have this man in this office tonight if it killed me.
"And more." He laughed and grabbed me by the arm. I stood up and let him lead me to an empty exam room.
"What about this?" he said as he started to lift my shirt up. I lifted my arms up so he could get it off.
"Keep going," I was in a state of disbelief.
How long had he wanted to do this? And how would I look at him tomorrow knowing I had seen him naked? He wrapped his arms around me and unsnapped my bra letting it fall to the ground. Now I was exposed to him. Next, he untied my scrub bottoms and slid them off me. Now was time for my dirty little secret- there were no underwear under them. He smiled as he realized this.
"Dirty." He said with a smile. He stood up and brought me against him. "You know, I noticed you the first day you started working here."
