He repositioned the chair, placing it facing her against the side of the bed, alongside her upper legs, then sat and pulled on a pair of gloves. "All right, Carrie," he said. "Bend your knees and keep your feet together on the bed. Now keep your feet there and just let your knees fall open." Maybe she was wrong. This might be more embarrassing. "Okay, I'm just going to check the outside first." She felt his fingers and thumbs gently spread her open. He seemed to be inspecting her a lot more thoroughly than last time, and she squirmed a little as it felt like her skin was being stretched as far as it would go. "It's all right, Carrie," he said. "I know it's a little uncomfortable. I'm just making sure I get a good look at your skin." He ran his fingers through every fold of her outer and inner lips, pinching, stretching, sending waves of nervous energy coursing through her. Without warning, she felt his finger slide into her vagina, and she gasped. "It's okay," he assured her. "You're doing fine." He rotated his finger, applying pressure in each direction, making sure she didn't feel any pain. "Can you squeeze my finger with your pelvic muscles?" he asked. She blushed, but did as he asked. "Good girl," he said. Her heart fluttered, and she realized she was starting to rather enjoy him calling her a good girl. Devin withdrew his finger, and picked up a speculum which she hadn't seen him take out of his bag earlier. At first she wondered why he would have brought that with him on his trip, but immediately she realized he had planned this all along. She stifled a chuckle as she realized she wasn't angry or even surprised. She noticed him trying to read her face. "What?" she said. "It's pretty clear what's coming next, and I know I don't stand a chance of talking you out of it." It was his turn to chuckle, and she could tell he was amused. "Okay then," he said. "Are you ready?" With a defiant yet also mischievous glare, she replied, "Not really, but go ahead." He chuckled again, then went back into his serious doctor mode. "All right, sweetie," he said. "A little pressure." He inserted two fingers and pressed down against her back vaginal wall, then with his other hand guided the speculum in, handle pointed upward to avoid hitting the bed. He slowly and gently opened the device, slightly wider than he had the first time. "You okay?" he asked. Carrie nodded. It was uncomfortable, maybe even hurt a little, but that new part of her was taking over, and she wanted this. Wanted to submit to him, and let him push the limits of her comfort, knowing that he would never take it too far or allow her to be harmed. Using a penlight for illumination, Devin bent down and peered into the wide-open speculum. A hot wave of embarrassment shot through her entire body. This was definitely worse in this position. As if he had sensed her discomfort, he reassured her. "It's okay, Carrie. There's nothing to be embarrassed about." When he was finished examining her cervix, he carefully withdrew the speculum, triggering a sigh of relief from Carrie as her vagina no longer felt stretched to its limit. "You're doing great," he assured her. After setting the speculum aside, Devin applied lubricant to his right index and middle fingers. "Okay, hon, I'm going to check your uterus and ovaries now." He inserted his fingers, gently at first, then more firmly pushed them in as far as they would go, causing Carrie to tense up. "I know, sweetie. Relax," he told her. He placed his left hand on her abdomen and began to press down, palpating all of her reproductive structures between the fingers of his two hands. Just like last time, in spite of the slightly uncomfortable pressure, she felt pleasure and arousal that was difficult to hide. Her breathing grew heavier. Devin looked up at her face as if trying to read what she was feeling, and she quickly averted her eyes. She hoped he couldn't see the truth. He finally withdrew his fingers, leaving her relieved but also wanting more. "Very good," he said as he removed his gloves. When he placed a new, clean glove on his right hand, she looked at him quizzically. "We didn't do this part last time," he said, "but we're going to do what's called a rectovaginal exam now. I'm going to insert one finger into your rectum and one into your vagina." She didn't respond or try to argue. She had already had his fingers in both places, so having them in both places at the same time couldn't be much worse.
