"I'VE MISSED YOU at the grocery store these past couple of Tuesdays."
Andrea was so startled at Dr. Bill Berman's sudden appearance at her office door that she jumped and hit her leg on the side of her desk.
"I'm sorry," Bill yelped. "I didn't mean to scare you."
It took Andrea a moment to catch her breath. "It's okay," she laughed. "I was just completely focused on . . . " and she waved her hand toward the papers on her desk. In truth, she was experimenting with a new camera that she had attached under her desk. After her last patient, she had slipped off her panties and, back in her chair, had slid her light sheath dress up her thighs to test how well the camera would see her pussy. Fortunately, she had both hands on the desk when Bill showed up.
She shook her head as though to clear it. "It's fine," she repeated, "but what was the question?"
Bill mumbled that it was not important and started to turn away. "Oh, the grocery store," Andrea said. She nodded her head in thought for a few seconds, then said, "I guess you should come in."
Bill shook his head and turned away. "Bill, come here," she called after him. "Everybody's gone, right? I've been wondering why you haven't said anything." She waited till he stepped back into her office. "I think I want to talk about it, and . . . " She shrugged, leaving the thought hanging. She waved him to the chair on the other side of her desk.
They sat in silence for a few minutes, neither looking at the other, each waiting for the other to speak. Finally, Bill shifted in his chair. "Do you know what scopophilia is?"
"Doesn't sound familiar. Should I look it up?"
He shook his head. "It's a technical term for getting pleasure from looking at objects of eroticism," then he added, hesitating between each example, "like pornography . . . naked bodies . . . fetishes . . . instead of participating in a sexual relationship. . . . though I might say, in addition to having a sexual relationship." He stared into the upper corner of her office, and they sat in silence for what felt like a long period.
Finally, Andrea took a breath. "Is this considered a pathology? Or just what any man . . . or woman . . . might feel from adolescence on?"
Bill laughed and seemed to relax, finally looking in her direction. "I guess it depends on who you're talking to," he said. "I've seen it referred to as a pathology or a disorder, but that's not how I feel about it. It sounds more elegant than voyeurism, which I guess is how I could characterize it as far as I'm concerned, though some psychological texts will refer to voyeurism as active scopophilia, with passive scopophilia being exhibitionism."
"So that would be me?" Andrea replied with a chuckle. Behind the safety of the desk, she had spread her legs. She was pretty sure the camera was still recording, and she wanted to get some good footage. She had discreetly pulled the hem of her dress up her thigh and was letting her fingers stray over the bare, smooth skin of her leg.
Bill's cheeks had turned a light shade of pink at her question, but he retained a somewhat scholarly attitude that helped him stay in control. "On the assumption that you weren't there only for the shopping, I guess I would say yes."
Her fingers had moved under the hem of her dress and were reaching the top of her thigh, where she brushed against her pussy lips. She inhaled slightly and let her finger gently explore the knotted folds of flesh. "So, where do we go from here?"
"Oh, we don't have to go anywhere," Bill said. "I think this was my . . . awkward way of, I don't know, saying you don't have to worry about me saying anything about our . . . encounter." He was looking straight into her eyes, and she felt her thick pussy lips twitching against her finger. Could he see through the table, she wondered, as she slid her finger between the folds, feeling some wetness forming there. "And to say that I would love to repeat that sort of experience." There was a tremble of hesitancy in his voice as he said that.
They sat in silence, looking intently at each other and both breathing somewhat shallowly. The thought ran through her mind that he must know she was doing something, as she brought a second finger to start pushing her pussy lips aside. She was getting wetter with each second.
"That may be possible," she said when she had control of herself. "You never know." She was raising the stakes, and the sense of risk increased the throbbing and wetness of her pussy. She really wanted to shove both fingers into herself and rub her clit, and to give him a full view of her swollen, sopping wet pussy. But she had an equally strong urge to resist, to wait for a more appropriate time.
All of these thoughts ran through her head in a split second, while Bill was pondering what she had just said about possibly more to come. He looked like he was about to stand up when she said, in a slightly strained voice, "Is that what caused problems in your marriage, your, um, scopophilia?" That was a hard word to say when she had her pussy lips spread apart and was rubbing the wet, smooth space between them.
