*Tobin's POV*

I had one client left for today, she was one of my current regulars in my physio clinic. She'd been coming in for work on her lower back after a sports injury, she'd been in twice a week for six weeks now and was almost ready to finish up all together. She was incredibly hard to treat, not that her injury was overly complicated, but she was one of the most incredibly attractive people that I've ever met. 

I had a professional reputation to uphold, and hitting on clients in any shape way or form was definitely a big red flag. God it was tempting too, she had these bright piercing eyes, when I had to look at her to explain an exercise it felt like she peered right through into my soul. After our second session I went home and dreamt of her that night, I had never fallen for a client before, but she was really making me struggle. 

I lent my head against my hand and checked the time at the bottom of my computer, she was due in to see me in about fifteen minutes, usually I'd spend this time preparing notes and exercises, but I had hers done already. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and immediately had this girl pictured in my mind. I loved her smile, she didn't give me a soft grin, she always gave me a toothy grin and let her dimples show. I fell for her more and more every time I saw a dimple. 

Last session I had gotten my magnesium oil out and massaged it into her lower back muscles, I swear I heard her groan as I did, I tried to play it off cool to avoid embarrassing her but I dropped the towel that I had been holding in my spare hand. I was half expecting her to not return again this week but I'm glad she booked in again. 

I spent the last few minutes preparing the room, I put a fresh sheet across the small exam table, slipped a new disposable cover over the pillow and set aside a few towels before wiping down all the other surfaces anyone had touched. I walked out to the front desk where my admin staff usually sat and waited. I always let my staff go home before the last client of the day no matter who, it was easier for me to sign them in and just get to work, rather than have someone else doing the paperwork and then sending them out to me. 

The little bell above the door jingled as she walked into the clinic, "Hi, Christen, good to see you again," I remarked as she walked up to the front desk. She smiled at me as she tugged at the scarf around her neck. 

"Good afternoon, Tobin. I hope you're doing well?" She replied before setting down her bag and scarf in one of our lockers beside the waiting room seats.

I clicked a few things on the computer to bring up her patient profile before looking up to reply, "I am, I hope your back is feeling better too," I smiled before typing a few sentences into the interface and logging off. "You can come with me now," I motioned as I left the desk and walked down the hall to the first room on the left, my treatment room.

"I must say, I'm feeling a lot better after last weeks session, that oil loosened up a few muscles," Christen told me as she sat in the chair next to my desk. I sat in my own chair and quickly pulled her patient information up on my computer before turning to face her.

"I've had good feedback on it before, I'm glad it's helped you too then. I've got a few stretches to try with you and I might try another deep tissue massage with the magnesium oil again and you'll probably be right to go. I'll give you a list of things to do at home over the next few weeks too but you probably won't have to come back unless you end up in more pain or reinjure something," I took a deep breath before continuing, "I think we'll start with the massage so everything is nice and loose for stretching," I added, motioning her to the exam table.

"That sounds good, it'll be weird not being here twice a week though, it's become a weekly habit now," She laughed as she stood up and took off her coat and placed it neatly on the seat. I bit the inside of my cheeks as she laid face down on the table.
