chapter one
Virginia Templeton arrived at her psychiatrist’s office,
ten minutes late as usual. She was always late, as she rather enjoyed
a grand entrance. Virginia was beautiful and knew it, tall and graceful,
with hips tapering into long, slender legs. A body to die for, as they say. All heads turned when Virginia entered a room;
women wanted to be her, and men just wanted her.
She was just as sexy dressed as she was undressed, as she absolutely
loved fashion. Her favorite expression was “shop until you drop,”
and she did just that. Virginia loved expensive clothes and shoes —
oh, how she loved shoes — and accessorized every outfit. She didn’t look at price
tags and, luckily, she didn’t need to.
Virginia’s image didn’t allow her to be all smiles or say nice
things, as she preferred to play the misunderstood diva and use her
good looks for favors. People didn’t cross the line with Virginia
often and, when they did, her wrath was like nobody else’s.
Nicholas Waters, her psychiatrist, sat behind his desk, waiting for
Virginia to make the first move. Sometimes she didn’t speak during
her sessions, instead just walking back and forth, angered that she
was wasting her time in sessions that she loathed. The only reason she
had even agreed to see a doctor was because her deceitful husband made
that a provision in their ongoing divorce proceedings. She wanted every
last dime she felt she had earned in their ten-year marriage. She had
smiled when she had to, and undressed when her husband wanted her. A
small price to pay for getting anything and everything she wanted.
Virginia thought that Nicholas wasn’t paying attention to her, which
really pissed her off. Even though he was just her psychiatrist, it
was still important to her that he pay attention. Little did Virginia
know that Nicholas couldn’t concentrate on anything else when she
was near him.
Nicholas Waters was bound by an ethical code to avoid involving himself
with his patients. But in his mind, they were just fantasies. Desiring
a woman and actually acting upon his desire were two different things,
and his fantasies usually went away after a visit or two. Virginia Templeton
was a different case. He knew it, she knew it, and so did anyone who
had ever come in contact with her.
She had been looking at him from the moment she arrived, but didn’t
say a word. Nicholas sometimes wondered if she knew how much he wanted
her. He would imagine himself lying next to her, consuming every inch
of her sensuous body. Kissing her, touching her breasts, wondering how
he could make her happy. She was filled with desire―and, sometimes, quite a bit of rage―but that didn’t stop Nicholas from having tight control
of his mind every time she came for a visit. He was her psychiatrist,
and that was the way it had to stay … for now.
He was also a married man and, regardless of his unhappiness, he had
remained married to the same woman for more than twenty years. When
Nicholas met Carmella, he was a struggling medical student with loans,
minutes away from personal bankruptcy. She was beautiful, with vibrant
red hair and a sweet smile that usually presented her in a glamorous,
but guarded, light. Love never entered the picture. Her family was very
wealthy and highly visible. He knew she was the solution to his financial
problems.
Carmella’s main flaw was that she usually had a drink in her hand
at eight in the morning and continued drinking until very late at night.
She never wanted sex with him. That didn’t mean she didn’t like
sex; she just didn’t like sex with her husband. For his part, Nicholas
didn’t care about love or sex until he met Virginia.
From the very moment Virginia Templeton walked into his office, attitude
and all, he was hooked. He had never felt such a strong, passionate
connection to anyone. Actually, he never questioned his life as much
as he did once Virginia Templeton became his patient.
A friend of his had referred her, and Nicholas reluctantly took her
on as a patient because he felt doing otherwise might put her on the
edge of doing something horrible. She came in with a lot of hatred and,
whether she admitted it or not, he sometimes thought they made a breakthrough.
A patient who didn’t want help never got better, but he felt she could
make progress by increasing her visits to his office.
Nicholas watched Virginia, waiting until she was ready to start. It
always took her a little bit, as she prepared to start the sessions
in her own way.
After strutting around the office, Virginia kicked off her leopard,
four-inch Stuart Weitzman pumps and sat her ass right smack in the middle
of Nicholas’s desk. She was wearing a very tight, black leather skirt,
and a see-through, white lace shirt. Because she was all leg when she
crossed them, which she liked to do, Nicholas could see her black lace
panties and the tiny rose tattoo on her upper right thigh.
“So, Nick, where shall I begin today?” Nicholas didn’t answer,
and that angered her more than he knew. “What the fuck? Help me out
here, Doc. I need some answers.”
For months, everything Nicholas had tried had completely pissed her
off. At that moment, he felt she might be ready for a breakthrough,
and quietly let her continue.
“Okay, let me tell you what happened last night,” she went on.
“Slater, my loving, sweet jerk of a husband was out of town. I got
in my car, went right back to my old stomping grounds, drank too much,
and fucked a whole lot of times. Since you didn’t ask who I was with,
let me tell you. Two men were in my bed last night. One was very tall,
with dark curly hair. The other was very short with a long blonde ponytail,
kind of a freaky looking guy. One was on my right and one was on my
left. Blondie had one finger in my ass and the other dark, sexy guy,
who looked a lot like you, was in my cunt. What do you think about that?”
Nicholas began to write notes. All thoughts of him having a conversation
with his patient were off the board for now. He was so busy picturing
the details that he couldn’t really concentrate. He was so far away
from where he should be ethically that he stopped himself, took a breath,
and then continued with his notes.
Virginia took full advantage of the moment, as she quickly scooted
off his desk and proceeded to strut around the office. “Wow, Doc,
when did you get that picture-perfect plant?” She didn’t actually
give a shit about the plant on the floor; she just wanted Nicholas to
enjoy the view as she leaned down to touch it. “Follow me, Doc.”
Bending down even lower, she spread her legs, once again exposing her
lace-covered bottom. Then, just as quickly as she had lowered herself,
she stood up, turned around, and smiled beautifully.
“You know, Nick, you’re such a bore. You just sit there and write
and write and write. Come on. Say something. Do you ever answer your
patients, or do you like to totally piss them off? If that was your
intention, it worked. You win. I’m totally pissed off.”
Nicholas could sense her anger boiling over, and watched in anticipation
that Virginia might actually be feeling something. She was just about
to explode; he knew it, but chose not to stop it from happening. Sometimes
that was all a patient needed to break through the barriers they’d
surrounded themselves with. He also had to keep reminding himself of
what was ethical. He was in danger of crossing the line, and he knew
it. He hoped his feelings weren’t transparent to Virginia.
“I hate boring men,” she continued, as she paraded around the
room. “My father was boring. He rarely talked, and he never smiled.
You can write that in your little notebook. My father was a piece of
shit―a mean, selfish asshole. He never talked to me or treated
me like his daughter. He had no love in him; that’s what my mother
used to say. He had no soul, and I didn’t even cry when he killed
himself. It was no loss to anyone. There are two things I hate in men.
A man who doesn’t smile, and a man who acts like he’s better than
me.”
Nicholas glanced down at his watch, realizing that Virginia was getting
more agitated. There was usually a moment during her treatments that
pushed her to the top. The moment varied, but the pattern always repeated.
“Is my time up?” she asked. “Even if it’s not, it’s time
for me to go. We’re getting nowhere today. As a matter of fact, I
think today will be my last visit. I don’t need to be here. Time is
money. Face it, Nick, you can’t help me. No one can.”
Nicholas decided it was now or never. “Virginia, sit down and stop
pacing. Let’s go with what you just said. You do want me to help you,
don’t you?”
“No, I don’t think so. How would you feel if you were seven years
old and your father pulled out a gun and pointed it at your mother?
Then shot her, took the same damn gun and shot himself in the head while
his daughter watched? I watched that! What kind of a person does that
to his child?” She was quite proud of herself for once again coming
up with a good story. “What makes it worse was my phony foster parents
stuck me in the attic with ten other kids. Sometimes I looked around
the attic and wondered how my life could ever be anything but dreadful
and confusing. There were days when I didn’t even feel human.” Oh,
she was so good at this.
“Okay, Virginia. Now that you have told me what happened to you,
and you think I bought it, let’s begin all over again. Every time
you come here, you tell me a different story. This time, tell me the
truth. Then maybe, just maybe, I can help you.”
“Fuck you, Nick!” she growled. “That was the truth.”
“Okay, then. Tell me how and why you married a man you didn’t
love.”
Virginia began to laugh. “You don’t really think I come here for
your advice. Do you? I come here because my asshole husband makes me
come here. He won’t give me my fair share in the divorce unless I
agree to have some therapy. He wants to ease his conscience. He’s
afraid he’ll look bad if I go off the deep end, and he doesn’t want
any headlines. A man like Slater puts himself before anyone.”
Nicholas returned to his desk, which served as his safety net. He
could sense Virginia was getting quite angry, and wasn’t sure if he
should push during this session. Usually, that only infuriated her more,
causing her to tell more lies.
“Okay, Nick. Since we’re having this nice little chat, let me
tell you what I think. My husband wants to fix me and set me free. Women
like me don’t get fixed. We like men, sex, and booze. We drink for
fun and fuck like crazy. What’s so wrong with that? If it feels good,
why not? I hate to think that being in love is enough for anyone.”
After thinking for a moment, Nick figured it was time to talk. “Believe
it or not, love is enough for many people. One day, you will be in love,
and maybe that will be enough for you too.”
“Oh, really? Are you in love with your wife? Do you even have a
wife? I don’t know anything about you, other than I want to fuck you.
And I think you want to fuck me. I don’t do normal, and I don’t
think you do either. Or let me put it another way. You might do normal,
but you don’t really like normal.”
Nicholas was on his way to understanding her convoluted view of what
she was all about. He didn’t soften just yet, but he was on his way.
He didn’t want to compromise, but he was a man. Virginia had gotten
to him even with all his armor; she knew how to dig deep. He was very
close to giving in to his fantasy, and she knew she had finally penetrated
into his soul. It was, she thought, her moment.
Game on! She was euphoric. “I bet if you let me get you in the sack,
we would be born again as one. If you allowed me to slowly undress you,
button by button, and then gently massage every morsel of your being.
My lips would embrace that cock of yours and you, my dear doctor, would
never be the same. I promise you that! I can take you on a journey that
will totally overwhelm you, and you will be mine forever, or for as
long as I want you.” A sultry smile spread across her face.
Virginia found herself moving as close to Nicholas as she possibly
could. She could barely breathe. Her breasts pressed against his chest,
she could feel his hardness against her. He didn’t feel like other
men. He was distant and completely disconnected from her. To her surprise,
he showed no reaction. He just stared at her in silence.
Being this close to a man who seemed to feel nothing was quite disturbing
to her ego. Every man she knew would have reacted quite differently.
Although, she was excited by the challenge he presented. She straightened
her shoulders, not allowing herself to be weak.
Nicholas wanted to forget that he was her doctor and instead take
her in his arms. He was uncertain how long he could resist, but he knew
there would be no turning back once he gave in. He stepped back, putting
some distance between them.
His rejection angered Virginia. “You’re not the right doctor for
me. Tell me why you took my case. Your practice was full, but you added
me to your patient load. Did you really think you could help me?”
“Yes, of course I thought I could help you.”
“Then why the fuck aren’t you helping me?” she spat.
“Because you don’t want help. You have repeatedly told me one
lie after another. I can’t perform miracles.”
“Screw you, Nick. Screw you. I don’t like to waste time and today,
as usual, I am wasting my time. The only thing left is for us to go
to bed together. I know you want me, I can tell. But you can’t do
it if you’re my doctor.”
“Virginia, sit your ass down. I’m your doctor, not your lover.
Why would you think that I want to go to bed with you?” His patience
was wearing thin.
“Because every man wants me,” she purred, again closing the distance
between them. Reaching for his belt, she began to slowly lower his zipper.
“You want me and I know it.”
“Virginia, you need to leave. Now. As of this very moment, my services
as a doctor are over.”
Virginia backed off. “You don’t mean that.”
“Oh, but I do. Watch this.”
Nicholas wrote on his notepad, “Virginia Templeton’s sessions
have ended as of July 9.” He signed the paperwork to make it
official, then pointed to the door.
“You need to leave right now.”
Virginia strolled out of the office, not looking back. She refused
to let Nicholas see the tears in her eyes. He had won, and she hated
that.
Nicholas took several deep breaths, relieved to have resisted her
very tempting offer. Their sessions had ended, and only time would tell
if he would miss her. If he was honest with himself at that moment,
though, he was disappointed at the thought of never seeing her again.
