After Dr Schmidt finished the exam, she stood from her stool at the end of the exae “Friends you may be, but you’re the first woman he has requested I skip lunch for”

Presley lowered her legs fro herself with the blanket, able to look the doc in the eye again “I’m sorry about that”

Dr Sch her soft brown eyes as she tucked a fallen strand of dark hair behind her ear “Don’t be I’m happy to help Dmitri”

Froh lines around Dr Schmidt’s eyes, Presley assumed she was in her mid-fifties, and while she doubted Dmitri had a personal relationship with the doctor, what did she know? Dr Schmidt was older but beautiful, omanly curves, and Presley could see how a man would find her attractive

The doc grabbed the swab containers off the examination table and strode toward the wooden desk across the roo on the sides “Dmitri told me you’re new to the scene”

Presley blinked, totally shocked that that had come from her mouth “UmyesI am, Dr Schmidt”

“Please call me Mary” The doc turned to her, swabs in hand, and her eyes war I remember when I was first in the scene, too, and how uncomfortable I felt”

Presley shifted against the table, the paper rustling beneath her “Oh, you live the lifestyle?”

“My husband and I did” Mary approached and leaned a hip against the side of the examination table next to Presley “Did Dmitri not tell you?”

Presley chastised herself for being so shocked Of course Dmitri would send her to someone who lived the lifestyle He probably associated and trusted them most “No, I’m sorry, he never said”

“Not surprised” Mary shrugged “He’s such a private person that I doubt he’d freely offer up any information about others”

Oddly enough, Presley had relaxed in this woeon?”

Sadness swept over Mary’s features, darkening her eyes “I’o”

“I’m so sorry” At Mary’s soft nod of thanks, Presley wanted to reach out to comfort her, but instead, she asked, “Are you a member?”

Misery etched into Mary’s features and she shook her head “When Charles, my Master, died, so did my need to play in a club I have no desire to scene with anyone else”
