I reach behind me gingerly and very gently put my hand on the area you just injected. I can feel the circular sticking plaster but there's also a very tender lump that feels hot to the touch there too. My bottom is throbbing.

I watch as you swiftly and silently move around the room, opening drawers and cupboards.

"Let's get a quick temperature check first Roberta.'

I open my mouth expecting you to put the thermometer there but no, you're standing at my side now. There's the unmistakable sound of latex gloves again.

"A rectal reading is far more accurate"

Are you serious? Oh. You are serious. I see you have a large tub of Vaseline. I lay still. After the injection I haven't got fight in me to argue. I'm feeling very embarrassed. It's been a long time since I was touched there. Very gently you part my bottom cheeks. Your touch is tender as you apply the petroleum jelly. You're making little circles on my rosebud, slowly increasing pressure until. Oh. Your finger slides inside. I feel a gush of arousal pool between my legs and I stifle a moan. You withdraw your finger but replace it with a glass thermometer. If you are aware that I am aroused by this, you don't show it.

It seems to take forever for the thermometer register but eventually you remove it and hold it up towards the light.

"It's very high Roberta. You have a temperature of 42'c. The antibiotic will soon start to take care of it, you should improve quite quickly.
