“Good girl. If anything hurts, you safeword immediately.” He helped her stand then he led her over to the door, pretending to rap on it.

“Here we go, love.” He winked at her.

Her heart was thundering, a mix of nerves and excitement.

“Yes? Come in,” Issy barked out in a grouchy voice.

He turned to look up at them with a frown as they walked into the room. “You’re my next patient?”

“Yes, I’m Archer, this is my wife, Caley.”

Issy grunted. “My secretary said that you’re having problems bringing her to orgasm.”

Archer made a funny noise, like he’d been punched in the gut. She couldn’t help but giggle. Archer gave her a stern look, but Issy just winked at her when Archer wasn’t looking at him

“Yes, that’s right,” Archer said in a strangled voice. “Are you able to give her a full examination?”

“Oh, I can do that. Get her up on the table. On her back, feet in the stirrups.”

“Come here, love.” He led her to the bench and lifted her onto it.

?Thanks, snugglebum,” she replied.

He froze and stared at her aghast.

“If you’re my husband, don’t I get to call you by a cute name?”

He groaned as Issy started laughing.

“You don’t need a cute name for me.”

She pouted. “Well, that’s no fun.”

He sighed. “Fine, but only in here. No one out there would understand.”

“Dunno, think Hunter might be interested,” Issy added with a wicked glint in his eyes.

“Mention that nickname out of this room and you won’t sit down for a week,” Archer warned in a dark voice that told her he meant business.

She nodded frantically, then remembered she had to give verbal answers. “Yes, Sir.”

“Lie back. Let’s get you settled.”

He placed her feet in the stirrups, placing cuffs around her ankles to keep them in place. Then he spread her legs wide, exposing her fully. She blinked up at the ceiling.

Holy shit.

“Normally, we would restrain your hands,” Issy said. “Instead you will need to keep them at your sides.” Issy stared down at her. “But move them without good reason and that’s ten, understand?”

“Yes, Issy.”

“Yes, Doc,” he told her.

“Yes, Doc.”
