"One more appointment Ms Brown." Becky, the digital assistant announced warmly into the very white, glass and chrome office space. "He is a friend of Mr Winston, and anything you can do will be appreciated." Becky continued.

"Thank you Becky, has he arrived?" the creature standing at a white marble pedestal said into the air above a black moleskin notebook and a sleek white phone, unencumbered by a case. Ms Kelly Brown, PhD. spoke with the cultivated professional tone of Ivy league education. From the doorway in the center of the wall facing Ms Brown is a white electric pocket door that moves to her left when open, like something out of star trek. Behind her is a wall of glass overlooking a metropolis below. The wall of window is uncovered from the bleached wooden floor up to the white ceiling at least fifteen feet above. There is a plush white leather couch resting on small three inch black cubes at each corner. It lines the left wall accompanied by a modern chrome framed arm chair with white leather strapped across it. Above the couch is a small black and white photograph of a naked woman standing in a forest from behind. The opposite side of the room is empty save a giant square painting, perhaps ten feet high and stretching across half the wall. Painted roughly on the canvas is an old broadcast test pattern like you see in a film set in the twentieth century.

The pedestal is odd but functional as a standing desk, perfectly centered across the south wall. It rests on a single chrome post. Behind it stands a tall pale woman with her fingers interlaced calmly. She is wearing a pair of white slacks which hug her trim hips then hang down her long legs loosely to her bare feet slipped into sandals. A thin black belt is all that divides her blouse from her pants. Buttons up the center until the flesh of her supple chest appears as the shirt runs around her neck to the thick auburn pony tail hanging firmly drawn back. Thin brown framed glasses rest down her slender nose until her thin pink lips appear above an angular jaw.

The wall she faces, surrounding the white doorway appears to be covered seamlessly as one large mirror. The whir of the door drawers her attention. She raises her eyes slowly, unconcerned with the unexpected entrance. Her digital assistant is responsible for all seventy floors of offices below as well so can be, delayed.

"Yes he has arrived." Becky chimes in as Ms Brown takes off her reading glasses to have a better look at the person in the doorway. Sensing they are tentative, and knowing they are suffering as a first responded, she thinks keeping it light is appropriate.

"Thank you Becky." she says smiling at the man as though she is embarrassed by her assistant being so incompetent.
 
Patrick Boyle is a 30 year old firefighter and EMT, and the last few months have pushed him to the brink of a breakdown. His job had completely changed, and the calls he had been on were having an incredible effect on his psyche.

The number of dead and sick patients that he had to deal with from the virus was continuing to grow. Patrick could not even begin to estimate the number of patients with the virus he had to deal with, and on top of that, he had to worry about whether or not he was going to get the virus from one of his patients.

For every call, he had to don Personal Protective Equipment. It was such a different world. Was the PPE enough to protect him from being infected? His superiors told him it was. He was not so sure.

Patrick wasn't sleeping. The stress was starting to get to him. He did not tell anyone though, because tough guys don't show their weaknesses. They keep their emotions and fears bottled up and just go about their jobs; until they implode.

His partner was having the same issues, but he was seeing a therapist about it. He constantly told Patrick that he should see his therapist. Despite getting the name of his partner's therapist, Patrick pressed on... showing up for work every day... not sleeping more than an hour or two each night... the nightmares waking him and keeping him awake.

Deciding he needed to do something, Patrick looked for a therapist. He wasn't going to use his partner's therapist; that would show weakness. He found a therapist downtown. Dr. Brown was the one he called for an appointment.

When he showed up for the therapist appointment, Patrick was surprised at the office space. He expected everything to be dark paneling and dark leather. The outer office was far from that. It was modern and appealing, and it also told Patrick he had made the right decision on a therapist.

As he was shown into the office, he stopped in the doorway when he saw the doctor. His 6'1" frame suddenly froze. Suddenly there was a fear of showing weakness. He ran his fingers through his light brown hair and looked toward the doctor with fear in his hazel eyes. He wanted to turn and leave, but he couldn't move.
 
"Hello Mr Boyle, come in, I am healthy, nothing to worry about. The only patients I see are wealthy and most of them have left town for their vacation homes." she told the good looking man. He was different from the old codgers who pay to look up her skirt for an hour. He was a man of purpose, who was out there in the world doing good.

"Come in and sit on the couch. I can stand here if that makes you more comfortable?" she said raising her hand, palm up and motioning towards the couch.

"I am sure Becky collected any information when you registered so we can get right to work." the attractive older red head said, letting her lips slide back over the white teeth underneath into a smile.

"I am Dr Brown, but you can call me Kelly." she began moving her phone off the notebook and opening it as a pen rose in her hand and she began to write.

Kelly fell into her practice, her father, a psychiatrist had set up for her, and pointed a few of his patients to her. Once they met her and had a session her bookings had grown into an amazingly profitable business. But Kelly wanted to help people. She dreamed of giving comfort and alleviating suffering in people. Patrick was just one of those people, and the fact that he had real problems, not just something ridiculous like his second trophy wife does not go down on him in public. He is a firefighter and EMT and faces death everyday.

"Have you ever been in therapy Patrick?" she asked as her voice seemed to waft around him like perfume. His head shake was enough to know he had not. "Not exactly shared around the fire house huh?" she said remembering her internship days back in Providence. Back then the working class men she met with were more interested in immediate gratification than working out the reasons they stayed at the bar with their buddies than went home to their families.

As Patrick stood in the doorway she began to feel uncomfortable.

"You don't have to come in but I think talking like this is not exactly helpful..." she said again flashing that smile. Her cheeks reddened as she looked at him and felt her heart beating, not something she was accustom too.
 
Standing in the doorway listening to the woman talk, Patrick began to relax a little. Why was he having a panic attack? Was he afraid of being seen as weak? He had chosen this therapist, because nobody would know he was visiting her, so what was he worried about?

He looked toward Dr. Brown, and noticed that she had stopped talking and was standing there looking at him. At that point, the decision was in his hands..... fight or flight. He could walk over and sit on the couch, or he could turn around and leave the office.

Flight was not in Patrick's DNA. There was no way that he was running away from a challenge. He didn't do it as a high school and college athlete. He did not do it as a Firefighter/EMT. He certainly wasn't going to do it now.

He looked at the couch. Then he looked at Dr. Brown. Slowly, he began to move into her office. He made his way to the couch while keeping his eyes on Dr. Brown. For the first time, he truly noticed the doctor, and how attractive she was. Her beautiful red hair was the first feature that caught his attention.

After sitting down, Patrick addressed the doctor. "I am sorry for what just happened in the doorway. It is a big step for me to come here. I have been resisting getting help for a while, and taking that step through the doorway was hard to do."

Just as quickly as he started talking, Patrick stopped. He did not want to reveal too much about himself. He was always someone who "kept his cards close to the vest." The doctor, if she was any good, would get the information from him that she needed to help him.

Realizing that he had not answered any of the doctor's questions that she had posed to him while he was standing in the doorway, Patrick picked the one that he could remember to respond to. "No, ma'am, I have never been in therapy before." He left it at that.... short and sweet.

Sitting on the couch, Patrick began to do what he normally does when he is working... he surveyed his surroundings. The room was clean and comfortable. Not what he expected from a therapist's office, but it probably said a lot about the person who occupied the office.

Patrick then turned his attention to the therapist. Dr. Brown was not at all what he was expecting. He didn't even no that he was seeing a female until he entered the doorway. Maybe that was another reason he froze. When he chose the therapist, it was out of a directory, and Patrick chose based on location. He saw the name Brown and assumed it was a male therapist... she would probably tell him that was sexist... she would be right.

Watching the doctor, his eyes on hers, Patrick was determined to let her make the next move. This was her show. The silence was starting to stress him out again, but he was going to fight through it.. at least for this session.
 
She watched him move to the couch. Certainly he was not the most timid about entering her office but she did not sense any apprehension due to her, like a few patients have in the past. He was clearly strong and purposeful as he sat stiffly on the couch. Like a wild animal almost eyeing exits and threats she studied him for a few milliseconds before stepping out from behind her strange pedestal desk and moved next to the chair.

"Don't think of this as therapy as much as a conversation." she began with a soft warm tone. Her big blue eyes were like jewels in her lovely face. "Do you mind if I sit?" she asked but not waiting for a response she sat. She had left her notebook and pen on the desk as now sat back in the chair the stretched even under her feather light movement. She crossed her long legs and let her arms rest on the arms of the chair as she let him look at her.

Having been at this for twenty some odd years she knew it took men a minute or two to adjust to her. She was not drop dead gorgeous like some Marilyn Monroe look alike but striking in a damsel looking out over a wind swept Irish cliff kind of way.

"Why don't you tell me a little about why you made this appointment Patrick?" she said wondering if he would be able to. She had some experience with PTSD and often initial visits are rocky or don't even get started before, what she could only think of them as, "heroes" would head back to the bar or dealer that had been giving them comfort, at a great cost.
 
Patrick sat on the couch and watched as the doctor moved to the chair without awaiting his reply. His eyes were fixed on hers. Her blue eyes were mesmerizing and kept his eyes focused on them.

He heard her say that he should think of this as a conversation and not therapy. He thought to himself, "I can have a conversation with anyone, and I don't have to pay for it. I am here for you to help fix me." He remained quiet though as he listened and remained focused.

When the doctor asked him to tell her why he made the appointment, Patrick remained silent. He thought about it for a second. "To be honest with you ma'am... er... doctor, I am not sure why I made the appointment. I know that some of my co-workers are seeing therapists, and they keep telling me that I should too."

Pausing, Patrick tried to collect his thoughts. "I don't sleep much these days. I have seen too much sickness... too much death. I am not sure if they are related." He stopped and sat there looking at the doctor. He wasn't sure what to say next. He wondered if he said too much.

Patrick was not a big drinker. Once in a while he would go out for a drink or two after work with the guys, but he was usually the first one to leave. He knew some of the guys were getting through these tough times. Hell, that was how some of them got through all of the tough times... macho therapy. Maybe he should have tried that first.

"Like I said Dr.. Brown, I am not sure why I am here. If that is a problem, I understand. I am not sure if this is like AA or NA where you have to admit you have a problem first. I don't know if I have a problem. I just know that this has been a hard first step. It isn't like me to ask for help, especially if I don't know what help I need."

"How do you feel physically? Have you been sick? I mean you look great, I just, uh..." she had overstepped and slipped into a personal observation. Her mind raced as she tried to regain her footing. "I just mean you look healthy, but I cannot even imagine facing what is going on face to face, literally." she found her foothold and reached up the hard cliff face, just as she loves to do on weekends.

Uncrossing and then recrossing her legs she became aware of a growing interest she had not felt for months. "OK. Are you married? Girlfriends? Boyfriends?" she asked glancing towards his lap unconsciously. Sensing more discomfort she smiled and said "what do you do for fun?"
 
Patrick looked at the doctor and, all of a sudden he felt like he was being assaulted. She was firing questions and comments at him and he felt like he had to fight off the onslaught. He moved his butt to the front edge of the couch as he tried to find a way to get control of the situation.

"Listen Doctor Brown, I will answer your questions and respond to your comments as best I can, but I would much rather respond to them one at a time. If you are going to give them to me rapid-fire, then you might have to write them down for me."

He gave her a small smile to let her know that he wasn't upset, but also to let her know that he was battling some stress. "Your questions are all good ones, I am sure, but firing them at me like that is going to make me less likely to answer them, and more likely to push back against you."

He took a breath and then sat back in the couch. "Now, the one question I remember was something about wife, girlfriend, boyfriend. Well, at the moment, none of the above. There used to be a wife, but she couldn't handle my work schedule and the stress that I sometimes brought home. She actually would encourage me to go out with the boys after work to blow off some steam. Me, I would rather have been with my wife. That led to disagreements, and we agreed to divorce."

He took a breath. "Girlfriend... no. Hadn't made it back out into the dating scene, whatever that was, before the virus hit. Obviously, once the virus kicked in, I was busy working long hours, plus there was all of the social distancing going on. Boyfriend? no, not my thing."

Patrick felt good opening up and talking. He didn't feel like he had to be too macho with the doctor. After all, if he wanted, this could be the last time he ever saw her. "You also asked about what I do for fun. Well, I don't know what that is. I couldn't tell you the last time I had anything close to something that would be considered fun. Maybe now that this pandemic is easing and people are starting to get out, I will find something fun to do."
 
Dr Brown blushed as her unprofessional nervous questioning was more suited for a speed dating round than a therapy session.

"You are right. I am sorry." she said noting his answers. She was flashing back to earlier in her career when she had a hard time focusing with good looking patients. She rubbed her hands together in her lap trying to collect herself and get back on track.

"Divorce is tough. I am sorry. I do respect your work and appreciate the stress it brings. Perhaps a word association game?" she said hoping it might redirect from the thoughts she was struggling to suppress.

"Perhaps you would be more comfortable laying back on the couch?" she said trying not to sound provocative.
 
"The divorce wasn't as difficult as what I have seen some of my colleagues go through. We had decided it was the right thing to do. If I were to be honest, I think she was seeing someone else, although I have no proof of that. She and I just weren't right for each other anymore."

Patrick listened when the doctor mentioned a word association game. For some reason, he had been expecting this. Maybe it was because he had seen it on a movie or a television show when a character was seeing a therapist.

"Is that what you want Dr. Brown? If you want me to lay on the couch, I am okay with it." He said that in an attempt to convince himself, because Patrick wasn't sure how comfortable he would be in the prone position. He thought it would feel like he was surrendering all control.

Deciding that she was the professional and the expert in this situation, Patrick laid on the couch. He always got upset when others tried to tell him how to do his job, so, he decided he would follow Dr. Brown's instructions.

He folded his hands and placed them at his waist. He closed his eyes at first, but then Patrick opened them when he felt uncomfortable. "Okay Dr. Brown, how does this word association game work?" He took a few short breaths and one large one in an attempt to relax.
 
Dr Brown licked her lips at the nervous vulnerability she sensed in this one. Following her instructions caused Kelly Brown to shift in her seat with pleasure. The leather under her ass creaked as she shifted her body bringing her knees and feet together. She leans forward with her shoulders back, interested, focused on him.

"The game is simple. I will say a word and you say the first thing that comes to mind. You have seen this on TV? Same thing." she said with a soft smile. Like trying to pet a wild animal, in the wild, the allure can outweigh the fear. Her mind drifts to this man laying on the couch in her locked office.

"You might want close your eyes. There are many distractions in this office." she says as though comforting a child and seducing him at the same time.

"Mountain." she says the first word.
 
Looking out of the corner of his eyes at the doctor, Michael tried to relax. He actually was trying to be open to the therapist and what she might be able to do for him. As he laid there, he thought that it was probably a good thing that he was seeing a female therapist. He definitely would not be as open to this. It would have been too weird.

Patrick followed the doctor's directions and closed his eyes. He was not sure what distractions she was speaking of since his focus had been completely on her after he had done his initial threat assessment. Funny how he considered it a threat assessment in a place that was supposed to help him reduce his stress and anxiety.

Once his eyes were closed, Patrick listened as the doctor said it was like he saw on television. He smiled, knowing that was what he had already thought. Perhaps they were of a similar mindset. Hearing her word, his response was almost immediate, "Lion."
 
Dr Brown pauses as the testosterone is nearly toxic, but she is a professional.

Calling in an old therapist trick...

"pussy."
 
Her next prompt almost made him choke, but he kept his eyes closed.

Patrick took a second to gather himself and responded, "eat."

Her prompt and his response brought stirring down below and he could feel his big cock jump.
 
Dr Brown let out an audible moan as another wave of testosterone crashed into her as her knees were now longer together and her mouth was held more primal.

She watched his erection grow under his clothing. It was almost too much.

"woman" she said.
 
Patrick heard the doctor's groan at his response, which served to make his cock harder still.

Her voice changed with the next cue that she gave him. There was feeling in it. It no longer seemed professional.

He started to respond to her prompt, and then paused. He didn't want to be seen as a pervert and respond with the first word that came to his mind at THIS moment, which was fuck.

"sex"
 
"When did you last have sex?" she wanted to ask but the good doctor's mouth stayed shut before she could grunt it out, as this session was heating up, at least in her.

She sat back hoping not to go too far over the line to be professional. First session or not, it might lead interesting places but she resisted.

"life" she said as though giving clues on twenty five thousand dollar pyramid.
 
Patrick noticed the pause from the doctor before she gave the next cue. He wondered if this was a regular routine for Dr. Brown or if she was flirting with him in some way.

He tried to relax his breathing. "sucks"
 
Kelly felt a primal sadness for this man. He was a good man who was doing good int he world but who could bare up under such circumstances day after day, shift after shift. She felt his pain and wanted to give him some pleasure. Therapy was a long and grueling slog, while pleasure can be immediate, if not lasting.

"Blow" was all she heard herself say, as she began moving forward slowly.
 
Still unsure of where this game was going, Patrick's hesitated. He knew what he wanted to say... the first thing that came into his mind, but he wasn't sure if Dr. Brown would be offended by it.

If he was going to have this therapy work, he was going to have to trust his therapist. Trust wasn't always easy for Patrick. It was something that someone had to earn from him. However, with Dr. Brown, he was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.

"job"
 
Her heart raced under the white bra and sheer blouse as her mouth salivated to pleasure this man, this hero. If only for a few minutes. maybe he would like it. Maybe it would bring him a respite from the endless death and suffering he will face again in a few hours.

"consent." she felt herself shudder as she said her last word.
 
"want" she said as the game had chased its tail and she was now responding to him, entranced by her desire.
