I was running late, my brow sweating from my walk that was closer to a jog through the hospital. I was hoping to get to the hospital before Dr Green did, it was less intimidating getting ready for the day without him watching me. My heels tapped along the corridor as I made my way to my desk, as I turned the corner my heart began to hammer in my chest as I realised, he was already here. I quickly dropped my bag under my desk and walked across the hall to his office, I gave a light tap on the door and waited for his response.
A, "Come in" was quickly followed my knock and I stepped in looking up to see him sitting at his desk, frowning at his computer. I took the moment that he was distracted to appreciate the man that sat in front of me. At 46 years old, he stood over 6 feet tall, with dark peppered hair and dark eyes that when focused on me, caused me to act like a blushing schoolgirl.
"Good morning, Dr Green," my breath quickened, and I fought the sigh that fought to leave my lips.
"Oh Poppy, stuck with you today am I? Aren't I a lucky man?" His question came out more of a statement, making my stomach flutter. His playful tone and words adding to my growing want for the man. Although, I knew better then to put too much thought into due to the wedding band that sat on his left ring finger. I just enjoyed testing the boundaries with him, I knew he was married and that I was 20 years his junior, so there was no chance he would reciprocate, it was just a fun little game to play to pass the time and indulge in my fantasies.
I smirked, "Probably the luckiest." I flashed a grin at him and moved around his room, letting my hips sway a little extra as I did. I could feel the heat of his gaze as I bent over to adjust the patient medical table, so I bent over a little further. The sound of him clearing his throat echoed through the room, I stood up and faced him, his eyes flicking up to meet mine as I did, "Anything else you'd like while I'm here Sir?"
"Hmm?" he asked trying to refocus, "Uh, no I should be good thank you Poppy."
I quickly looked around the room doing a double check to see if anything was amiss, the room was a comfortable size. A desk sat on one side with two seats to the side for his patients and a patient medical table on the opposite side of the room, with a small drape giving privacy to the table.
"No worries Sir, let me know if you think of anything," I let the hidden meaning of my words hang in the air before walking out and taking a seat at my desk, preparing everything I would need for the day. A few minutes later, Dr Green stepped out of his office and asked, "Coffee Poppy? You like a flat white, no sugar right?"
I felt touched at his thoughtfulness and ability to remember the little details that he had learnt about me over time.
"Yes please."
I watched him walk to the staff room to get us coffees, a little ritual he does every morning before the first patient arrives, I shook my head mentally scalding myself for the fantasy's that entered my mind. I replayed a familiar line in my head for the umpteenth time that week, "married man, your boss, 20 years your senior, not for you", the line had become somewhat of a mantra for me with the sordid thoughts that would not seem to leave me alone. It's not that I think he wouldn't want to be with me, I see the way he looks at me when I've teased him too much. I'm an attractive young woman, who quite often gets compliments on my long red hair and blue eyes, but he's married. And my boss.
Out of all the doctors I worked with in the hospital, Dr Green was the one who was most particular in how he liked things to be done. The other receptionists were not the biggest fan of working with him because of this, as well as often complaining of his rudeness. Personally, I appreciated the extra things to do, they allowed me to keep my mind busy and off of him.
Besides, he was always quick to praise me for the work I did for him, always telling me what a good girl I was for it and reminding me how much he appreciated my work. His praise always made me want to work harder to please him, desperate for the pleasure his validation would give me. I was replaying over the times he had told me I was a 'good girl' when I felt a hand on my shoulder causing me to jump.
"In your own world again?" I felt his chuckle reverberate down his arm, through my chest and down to my core, my thighs squeezed together reactively and I turned to face him, smiling and reaching for my coffee that he held.
"Always. Thank you for the coffee, Dr Green." From my sitting position I looked up at him in his crisp white shirt, sleeves rolled up and a deep blue tie tight around his collar. His wife probably helps him tie it every morning I thought to myself.
"For the hundredth time, you can call me Alex." His smile was warm and before I could reply said, "I'll be in my room, buzz me when the first patient arrives."
"Of course, Sir" I teased and he pinned me with a mocking glare, my stomach twisted and my core clenched from having so much of his attention, for a moment I thought I saw his eyes darken with want? Need? But as quickly as I saw it, it was gone. He broke the stare with a chuckle and returned to his room closing the door. I let go of the breath I didn't realize I had been holding and slouched back into my chair, praying today my crazed thoughts would leave me alone, but I doubted it.
The first patient arrived shortly after and I called through to the phone in his room, letting him know they had arrived. The morning went by fairly quickly and it stayed busy enough that I was able to keep my mind off of any immoral thoughts, mostly.
The phone rang and the caller ID showed it was Dr Green's room, I picked up and his deep voice travelled through the phone, "Come have lunch with me." The call ended before I had a chance to respond, the demand sent a small thrill through me before I stamped on it with my mantra, "married man, your boss, 20 years your senior, not for you." I inwardly groaned, knowing if I didn't get a handle on this crush soon I'd be needing to look for another job.
I sighed and got up to grab my lunch before going to join Dr Green in his room, eating together had become a new part of our routine after he caught me eating in the back office alone. I stood outside his door for a moment steadying my breath and clearing my mind, I gave a small knock before entering. He was sitting at his desk, tie loosened and he looked up with a grin that made my heart ache and wetness pool in my panties. I walked across the room trying not to squirm under the heat of his gaze, I took a seat, doing my best to maintain my air of confidence.
"Are you okay Poppy? You look flushed," he leaned back in his chair, his shoulders so wide they dwarfed the chair he sat on.
