Enjoying my new office on the 63rd floor of the Columbia Center in downtown Seattle, I swiveled in my dark leather chair to admire the view of Mount Rainier. I wore a crisp, black, pin-striped women's business suit by Marc Jacobs, which felt supremely powerful over my new silk underwear from Agent Provocateur. I hadn't purchased any of it myself.
I pulled a file out of my desk drawer and pressed a button. "Nazanin? Send in Tina Pearson now."
"Right away, Doctor," came the soft voice of my gorgeous Iranian-born administrative assistant.
Tina Pearson came into the room all aglow: pink cheeks, long blonde ponytail, tall and curvy, tennis racket case in one hand and Gucci handbag over the shoulder. "Thank you so much for agreeing to move up my appointment, Frederika," she said. "I figured we're on such a roll right now, and I told Dave and we agreed we shouldn't wait another week. I was telling him, 'We need Level Three now.'"
I waved her to sit down, already feeling my nipples beginning to harden against my white blouse. "So you're happy with the results of Dave's private consultation."
"Oh my God - yes!" said Tina, brushing a strand of hair off her face. "How should I put this? We've been having sex every single day, sometimes twice. And you know how I said he wasn't getting hard like when we first dated? I thought he was tired from the long hours at the fire station. I swear to God, I have never felt his cock this big or this stiff inside me before. He came up behind me, lifted my skirt, and took me from behind on the back porch last night."
"I'm delighted to hear that," I said with a knowing smile. "Your friend Abby had a similar story after her husband came in last year."
"Yeah, and look at her now!" Tina said. "She's exactly where I want to be: expecting again. Dave and I don't have a lot of time to waste."
"As I told you at our initial consultation, Tina, aiming for three or four babies at the age of 33 is an ambitious target. But if you follow my prescriptions exactly, and I do mean exactly, your odds of success are greatly enhanced. We can do some things here that aren't as viable in the public sector. That's why you signed the waiver."
"Love it, love it, love it," said Tina. "Tell me about Level Three."
I opened up the file. "Well, in Level Three, we incorporate the findings from Dave's one-on-one interview with me and use them to further heighten the level of excitement in the bedroom. To be blunt, the more you fuck, the better your odds. How would you feel if your husband was ready to fuck three or four times a day?"
"For us, that would be absolutely perfect," said Tina. "I know I'm ready."
"Then it's all about making sure your husband is in the perfect place: physically, mentally, sexually. One of the reasons we do one-on-ones here is to elicit confessions and fantasies that partners sometimes find difficult to confide with each another. Would you like to hear something that Dave told me?"
Tina nodded eagerly.
"Let's go into my examination room," I said, standing up.
Tina followed me in and sat down on the leather-covered exam table.
"Stand up for now," I told her. "Lower your pants and underwear for me."
I snapped on a pair of latex gloves as Tina stood there blushing. She had long, smooth, tennis-toned legs and a cute brown birthmark on her right thigh. That I liked. But there was something that needed fixing.
"Are you aware, Tina, that your husband has a preference for women with a full growth of pubic hair?"
Tina's eyes widened. "He never told me that before."
