Yes it is possible for all this happened within a very short term.

The chance you acquired urethral (penile) gonorrhea from a single episode of receiving oral sex is very low, but not zero. And yes it could have been spread to your next partner, but also is very unlikely. The sex partners of infected persons often are treated for gonorrhea without waiting for test results. But in this situation, it would be reasonable to be tested and wait for the test results.
