"So, Heather, what would you like to talk about today?" Mr. Northam asked, folding his hands in front of him and leveling his best 'I'm here to listen' gaze upon her.
This was Heather's first session with a therapist. She'd heard others talk about how well it had worked for them, and that along with the fact that her health insurance completely covered these sessions was enough for her to give it a try.
Mr. Northam was a good-looking man probably in his early fifties. His eyes were a gentle blue and his face was etched with lines of wisdom, but his build under his suit spoke of an active lifestyle. He stared patiently at Heather, somehow appearing only attentive rather than patronizing. Her auburn hair cascaded down over her shoulders and she met his gaze with her own steel-gray eyes. She, all of 22, was decidedly walking a thin line when it came to her chosen outfit: her crisp, white button-down shirt wasn't buttoned all the way up, revealing a bounty of cleavage that clearly didn't need that much help from the bra that was peaking through. Her pleated red-flannel skirt might have been considered "professional" if it were three-to-six inches longer, but only in the most carefree of office spaces.
Mr. Northam didn't quite approve, but his professional training required he overlook it, at least for now. It wasn't his place to judge.
"We have patient confidentiality, right?" Heather asked.
Mr. Northam nodded reassuringly, "As your licensed therapist, anything you say to me in these sessions is strictly confidential. I won't be relaying any information to your family, and unless you expressed intent to commit some kind of violent crime, I can't speak to the police, either. This is a judgment-free space. I want you to feel comfortable telling me anything."
Heather nodded her understanding and took a breath. "Well, I just feel like... I need more, I guess. More in my life."
"I see. Do you think you're bored? Perhaps you're stuck in a routine?" Mr. Northam offered.
"No, I'm not bored. I love my routine. I just want... more, somehow. I feel unfulfilled."
Mr. Northam made a thoughtful face, and then said, "Why don't you tell me about your routine."
"My whole routine?" Heather asked.
"Only what you think is relevant," Mr. Northam replied.
"And I can be completely honest?" Heather asked once more.
Mr. Northam wasn't sure what he was about to get into, but how controversial could someone's daily routine really be? "Please do," he smiled warmly.
Heather seemed to think carefully for a moment and then finally make a decision. "Ok, well, um... So every day starts out the same. I get up around 7 when I hear my step-brother come back from the gym. He says he gets the hardest after a workout, and that makes for better deep-throat practice."
Mr. Northam's demeanor faltered. "I'm sorry, I, ah... I think I misheard you."
"I give my step-brother a blowjob after his shower every morning," Heather confirmed. "I can now take him all the way down my throat and hold him there for several seconds."
Mr. Northam could feel his face flush. "I see..." he said, slowly. "And how did you come by this arrangement?"
"Oh, we just kinda fell into it. I'd always been curious about boys, but when my mom married John and he and Mark moved in, my curiosity skyrocketed. After five years, we just couldn't help it anymore. But I never let him cum down my throat, because of Mrs. Langford."
"Mrs..." Mr. Northam faltered, trying to remain professional. "Because what? Who is Mrs. Langford?"
