*****

Colton sat between Keelan and Sascha in the waiting area. Rheia was getting things set up in one of the examination rooms and said she would be calling the men back one at a time.

Colton leaned closer to Keelan. "What's a physical anyway?"

Keelan's face became thoughtful. "You know, I don't know. I just thought she'd take some blood or something, but if that were the case we wouldn't need an examination room." Keelan took out his phone and started tapping away at it.

Sascha leaned back and extended his legs out in front of him. "Maybe that's just how she's used to doing things."

They heard a banging and movement coming from the room two hallways down. Rheia was straightening the room after the ferals trashed it.

"Rheia, you okay?" Colton called out.

"Yeah! Just moving this cabinet; be done in a second," she yelled back.

Colton smiled and sat back. He knew his mate was on edge about Penny. He was determined to take her mind off her worries later. Even though she hadn't allowed him to claim her, the previous night had shaken him. He'd never had such an intense orgasm in his life, he was practically salivating at the thought of making her his.

"Umm ... Colton." Keelan whispered, his face bright red.

"Yeah?"

"I don't think this is right." Keelan's voice squeaked.

Colton noticed that the area around Keelan's mouth had become pale.

"What is it, buddy?" he asked.

Just then, Rheia stepped into the waiting area. "Okay Keelan, you're first."

Colton was shocked when Keelan actually whimpered and looked at him with stark fear in his eyes. Slowly the witch got to his feet and walked towards Rheia as if he were going to his death. When they disappeared around the corner, Colton started to feel uneasy.

He turned to Sascha. "Do you have your phone on you?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Look up what a physical is."

Sascha shrugged and pulled out his phone. After a few moments, his cheeks were tinged pink.

Colton felt his mouth go dry. "What?"

Sascha turned and placed a steadying hand on Colton's shoulder. "Remember Colton, your mate is a doctor, she probably does this sort of thing all the time."

"What sort of thing?" he demanded.

Sascha opened his mouth to explain and then shut it. Wordlessly he just handed Colton his phone. Colton began to skim the article before he read something that made his canines surged through his gums. He threw Sascha's phone at him. "I'll kill him!" he growled and stood.

Sascha grabbed his shoulder. "It isn't personal Colton; she's just doing her job."

Colton walked down the hall towards the examination room practically dragging Sascha along behind him. They were almost to the door when they could hear the voices from inside the room.

"I don't think it's going to go in," Keelan said. Colton could hear the worry in his voice.

"Of course it will, that's what it's designed for."

Colton and Sascha froze, then leaned in closer to the door. Colton held his breath as images of medical devices floated through his mind.

"I think it's too big. Do you have anything that will grease it up?"

Colton turned to Sascha, whose horrified expression matched his own. What was his mate doing to Keelan?

"Okay, it's going in, just don't force it," Keelan said, sounding relieved.

"I've done this before; I know what I'm doing."

"Okay, I think something's wrong, it feels off."

"Seems okay to me."

"Ow! Dammit!" Keelan's sharp exclamation had Colton and Sascha jumping back.

"There, it's all the way in," Rheia said.

"That hurt," Keelan said, sounding dejected.

"It wasn't that bad."

"I have to admit, it looks a lot better. It will probably work a lot better too."

"I hope so; I plan to get a lot of use out of it."

Colton stared at the door as her words registered. He stepped back and kicked the door in. "Like fucking hell you will!" He snarled at Keelan, taking satisfaction in the way the blood drained from his face.

When he stepped into the room and looked around, he realized he had made a terrible mistake. Keelan was fully dressed, sucking on his finger and his mate were standing next to a cabinet, testing the top drawer by pulling it in and out. She hadn't been performing an exam, she had been fixing the drawer.

Fuck!

Keelan took one look at him and Colton could see the dawning realization as to what his conversation with Rheia must have sounded like. Without a word he raised the window and jumped out. Since they were on the ground floor Keelan didn't have very far to drop. Colton could see him running around to the front of the building and away from him as fast as he could.

Rheia turned to him shock and disbelief on her face. "What the ever loving fuck was that?"

Colton stepped back to stand next to Sascha; they looked at each other, then turned to look at Rheia.

"Nothing," They said together.

"You can't be here if you do stuff like this, Colton. I need to be able to do my job. Go back to the waiting room and eat your cinnamon rolls," she ordered. She then looked at Sascha. "You're next."

Sascha turned to Colton with a huge shit-eating grin. "Sure Doc, you can fix me up, too."

Without even blinking Colton punched him in the nose.
