CHAPTER FOUR
ROOM THREE
"Periformis syndrome."
Dr. Ryan looked at Leigha and spit it out. She didn't have a clue what he was talking about.
"What's that?"
"A muscle condition in your buttocks. You've a pain in the ass, Leigha." He sort of held up his palms and shook his head as if it were a joke.
It certainly wasn't to her. Over the past months she had slowly felt the pain. At times it wasn't there, at others it ranged from noticeable to very painful.
Finally, she went to Doctor Ryan to see what was wrong. She assumed she had just strained something and continued to aggravate it.
"What can you do about it? Is it serious?" She needed relief of some kind. Any kind.
"Nope. It's painful but not dangerous. It will go away eventually. For now, we can do two things. One is easy. I'm going to give you a prescription for a mild muscle relaxer. The other is more of a problem but it'll relieve the pain much better. That is, if you want to do it. It's going to be an inconvenience."
"Anything."
"We can bring you in twice a week and give you a shot of a pretty potent temporary pain reliever while we give your buttock a very intense deep massage. It'll not take the problem away but you won't feel any pain during the procedure and it'll make you feel a lot better for several days afterward."
He didn't bother to tell her she could get the same relief from simply by sitting on a tennis ball.
Leigha jumped on it. At times the pain was worse than she let on.
"Okay," David said. "It's a little time consuming. We'll do it on Tuesdays and Fridays after normal clinic hours. See you at six Friday?"
Leigha nodded. "Six Friday."
David walked her to the front office and then returned. He wondered out loud.
"Do you think she heard your voice shake while you were speaking to her?"
And it was definitely shaking, even then. He had to sit for a minute before he called Dusty. He couldn't believe the turn of events. He had begun to think that the tide was never to turn in their favor but it had.
This is not what he wanted, not how he had envisioned his conquest of Leigha, but after all this time he couldn't pass it up.
Without treating anything life threatening, they were going to have Leigha in room three. Not a one time shot like most of the other women over the years but rather on a regular, after hours schedule. And the treatments would last as long as "the doctor" wanted. He knew that, given the fact he was doing it for free, she wouldn't want to terminate the procedure. It was going to feel way too good for her to do that.
And he meant "wa-a-a-a-y-y" too good. He could guarantee it. And it wasn't just going to be real good for her, either.
Not if she was in room three.
Room three. For three people, it wasn't just a treatment room. It was a cloaked theatre, one of the highest secrecy. One that carried a huge threat to them all. One that, if discovered, would damage their lives forever. Yet the pull was so hard, so dramatic, none of them could walk away from it.
If they had really looked at it, David, Dusty and Rhonda might have realized that it was as much room three that held them so closely together as the sexual triangle they had entered. Just their awareness of the situation made them all equally liable, even though David would take the brunt of it if discovered. For him, everything was at stake...his license, his practice and his position in the community.
Until a few years ago, room three had just been a small treatment room sharing a common wall with an even smaller secured storage area. But when David came home with "the treatment", slowly their minds led them in the sinister direction that now imperiled their little dynasty.
Over five years earlier David had been on one of his "outings' to Albuquerque when he met a doctor from Mexico, an anesthesiologist who was an "Across the Border" guest speaker. During a private conversation the doctor told David of a new experiment he had tried. Injecting a combination of common surgical drugs he was able to put a patient into a semi-lucid state of trance for about an hour.
During that time they reacted to everything but suffered short-term memory loss and later remembered nothing, much as if they had been drinking heavily. They would even talk and answer questions during the process. It was if they had been hypnotized...being totally aware then remembering nothing about the experience after it was over.
As far as the doctor was concerned, those results were not anything he was looking for and the process was totally useless.
David listened carefully and asked if he would send him the study he had done. It was of great interest to him. The doctor shrugged and said, "Sure, maybe you might see something."
David couldn't wait to get the information. In the past he and Dusty had visualized this exact situation.
As far as the sedative, the special treatment, was concerned, David knew he couldn't just "do it" to anybody. He had to have some test patients. He knew of only three.
He decided he would be first. Both Rhonda and Dusty furiously objected to that. Knowing that it was going to be very difficult to explain to an emergency room if things went wrong, they had to be very careful. And they certainly needed a doctor on the spot in an emergency.
It was Rhonda that insisted she go first. After hours of exhaustive discussion, they each agreed and the "test" began.
As soon as Rhonda appeared to be under the influence of the substance, David started a small conversation with her. As if through a dense haze, she answered. Not a rapid response but more as if she could barely pay attention. She was lucid enough to follow his words and give at least some response. That was exactly what the doctor had said would happen.
Slowly, carefully, David's hand slid up her leg. He needed to approach this exactly as if she was fully awake, just as if she was one of the many women he had met in other cities and had seduced. Just like any other medical treatment, a procedure had to be established and proven.
Slowly, carefully, he worked his hand slowly up her leg. He didn't know what caused the most anxiety for him...the possibility of the treatment causing a bad reaction or the way she would react to his touch.
But he continued. First his fingertips, then his hands. Finally, his mouth. It was the first time. Caution was the theme for the day.
An hour and a half later, he was stunned. Overwhelmed. Elated.
A completely recovered Rhonda sat on the edge of the table, talking to him as if nothing had happened. She claimed there was no memory whatsoever. When she asked him what happened after she had gone under, he said, "not much." Only that every five minutes or so he had teased her on certain areas and that her body had totally responded. She had also responded vocally, not just responding to his voice but also in response to his touch.
It was the first time. He didn't want to get too giddy about it. Or spook her by over informing.
In fact, he had brought her to orgasm twice, using his fingers and licking her dripping pussy until he was surprised she could take it any more. She had wailed loudly and writhed so wildly on the narrow table while she was cumming that he was concerned she would fall off. He had stopped short of fucking her. That was for the next test a couple of days later.
At the moment, the overwhelmed David needed a few minutes to complete the documentation on his little experiment. After all, he was still a doctor and when working with drugs nothing could be left to memory.
Rhonda left the office and sat quietly in her car. Slowly she slid her right hand down the front of the scrubs she was wearing to oblige her begging clitoris, a small smile forming on her lips. Her pleasure was coming from two sources at the time. One was from the rapture that permeated the whole of her body and mind, a sexual saturation of her senses that would take days to subside.
