“Okay,” I sigh. “I was reading about endometriosis. A lot of women said that they had pain with sex. Why do I not? I mean it’s not comfortable but it’s not as excruciating as they have made it out to be for themselves.”
“Really, I’m not sure. The human body is weird and sometimes it does what it wants. It could be anatomy that makes it to where it is not pulling on the nerves that would be affected. The piercings could be providing enough relief that you don’t notice it as severely.”
“The piercings were my mom and sister’s idea. They had the same issue and said it would help. My sister doesn’t anymore since she had a hysterectomy,” I say.
“Well, obviously, that’s not the case for everyone, but in your case, I think that it might be helping. Everyone is built differently,” he says. “Ready?”
“Why do I feel like you find this funny?” I say as I lie back.
“Luna, I’ve had patients have an orgasm while giving birth. The human body does what it wants, and I find that fascinating. Nothing about this is funny,” he says as he puts gloves on. The look on his face is almost endearing.
“Don’t look at me like that when you do what you’re about to do to me,” I grumble and drape my arm over my eyes.
“Alright,” he laughs. “No stirrups this time. Just bring your feet up and let your knees fall apart.”
“Do I need to take the piercings out for surgery?” I ask.
“Yes. You can put them back in after.” I nod and take a deep breath, centering myself. “Alright, relax for me.”
“I don’t think that’s possible right now,” I say as he slides two fingers into me. I groan before I can stop it but it’s from sharp stabbing pains. The more I tense, the more pain seeps in and I wince.
“Relax, Luna,” he says as he pushes deeper.
“If I do it’ll happen again,” I whine.
“Then let it happen,” he says. “I’ve got you. It’s better than being in pain.”
I nod and force myself to relax. He pushes down on my lower belly as he presses in and up inside of me.
“Fuckfuckfuck. Oh my God,” I moan softly. I cover my mouth when my body reacts and my back arches. He presses in deeper and something stronger than last time hits me. My body automatically tries to twist but his hand on my belly keeps me in place. I don’trealize that I have a death grip on his wrist until the feeling starts to fade and he pulls his fingers out of me.
I cover my face with my hands and try not to cry. That’s twice in a row now and I’m fucking mortified. If I try to prevent it, it hurts. If I don’t then I will come.
Dominic takes off his gloves before he brings my legs down then takes my hands and sits me up.
“I’m sorry,” I say quietly.
“Don’t apologize,” he says with a sigh.
“Because that’s reassuring,” I mumble.
“Fuck, I’m going to get myself in trouble with you,” he says before stepping closer and lifting my chin. I am stunned when I notice a sizeable bulge in his pants and a feral look in his eyes. “It’s okay, Luna. Any man who gets upset at you for having an orgasm is a fool.”
“How are you going to get in trouble?” I ask, confused. “Is it because I…”
“No, Luna. I am seconds away from doing something that I could lose my medical license for. I need you to understand that you have done nothing to offend me so I can put some distance between us.”
“But that would require me to not approve of whatever it is you’re talking about,” I say. When he moves his hand from my chin to the back of my neck before tilting my head back with his thumb, the realization of what’s happening sweeps over me. “Dominic.”
“You are off limits, Luna,” he says softly.
“Dominic, I never asked…”
“I know, Luna. This isn’t on you,” he says. He runs his thumb across my lips before shaking himself free of whatever daze he was just in. He drops his hand and steps back, clearing his throat.
“Be up at the hospital tomorrow at noon. You and Harper will have to sign a few things before you go back. I’ll talk to Harper and get her back there before you wake,” he says, suddenly professional sounding.
“Kay,” I say bitterly. It’s not fair for somebody to do things like that and then abruptly change directions. It’s a mindfuck and he knows it.
