a medical diagnostic on you first to rule out anything
physically wrong with your body.” Gwen made to leave the technology dome for
the medical dome.
“Right now?” Kneus hadn’t expected them to start on his issues immediately.
“There is no time like the present! We need to get some answers for you,
and besides we are getting nowhere fast on the archives.” She smiled at him and
his whole body responded. His heart jumped, his palms sweat and his stomach
rolled almost as if he was going to be sick. If this was how it felt to be
attracted to someone then he wondered at the allure. Then he remembered his
dream from last night. He felt again Gwen’s soft lips on his, her hands in his
hair with her fingernails digging lightly into his skin. He could feel all the
pleasure coming back, until he recalled his hands around her neck. It was like
a bucket of cold water on his growing excitement.
He realized with a start that she was waiting for him at the door. He
hurried over to where she stood. “Thank you for helping me Gwen.” He smiled
tightly and rushed inside the medical dome. “Where were you thinking we should
start?” He asked to break the silence.
“We need to run a full medical scan.” Gwen moved beside him at the
console, “I will need to know how much sun you have been getting. And how much
water you are drinking.” She leaned around him and grabbed a medical gown from
a drawer. “You need to put this on.” Without waiting for him to acknowledge her
request Gwen moved on.
He glanced at the medical gown in his hands, making a note to himself to
ask the fabricators to start making them fully closed in the back! He chanced a
look over his shoulder and saw that Gwen was waiting for him by the medical
unit. They had made curtains around the medical beds for privacy, but the
medical units were still in the open. He knew it would be faster to use the
larger unit instead of asking to use the portable one. Not to mention Gwen was
waiting patiently for him to get undressed. He didn’t want her to think he was
uncooperative. With a sigh he started to get his vest, pants and boots off.
When he bent to take off his boots he thought he heard a sound from behind him,
but when he looked back Gwen was busy inputting information into the console.
Finishing disrobing he hurriedly put on the medical gown. He was surprised
again when Gwen handed him another one.
“I always hand out two of them.” She smiled warmly at him, “Most people
don’t wish to have their backsides hanging out and bare for everyone to see.”
“Thank you Gwen.” He smiled gratefully and happily took the second gown.
Turning so that it was backward and his backside was indeed covered up.
Walking to the medical unit he said, “Okay. Let’s figure this nightmare
thing out.” Climbing gingerly into the unit he waited for Gwen to close him
inside. The machine did its thing, whirling and clicking as it scanned and
documented his physical state. When it was complete he climbed out and went to
put his clothes back on.
“Hold on please.” Gwen stopped him, “I need you to climb onto the medical
bed.” She waved her hand for him to sit down.
“What?” Kneus looked longingly at his clothes, “Why?”
“I need to examine you.” Gwen said in all seriousness. “Just because you
have superior technology doesn’t mean a hands on exam isn’t going to find
something your machine may overlook.” She patted the bed with her hand and his
eyes flew to her fingers. His mind flew back to the dream and her damn fingers
in his pants. “We have a few minutes until the machine will have its results.
This won’t hurt a bit.” She was smiling widely now, her face beaming with
humor. He knew exactly what she was thinking. He was acting like a big coward,
afraid to have her examine him. She didn’t know about the dream he had or she
might not be smiling so much or standing so close he thought sourly.
Determined to stop acting like a skittish
