Father Al did not expect to see Eugenie again after her visit the night before last. Nevertheless, here she was, at the doors of the Church of the Morning Star, looking at the stained glass and the workmanship of the nave. This happened a bit, as the windows were very old, and there was a lot of argument over who actually designed them, as no artist of the 1800s in Providence Rhode Island or anywhere in New England wanted their name associated with the church, or the subject of the stained glass, the Light Bringer.
It was late, well after dark, and Father Alphonse ("Call me Father Al") was about to lock up for the night. He had been working on his sermon for the week, and calling parishioners to follow up on their requests for spiritual comfort. His office was behind the sacristy, but with the doors open, he could always hear even the softest footsteps echoing in the open space of the church.
Eugenie rivaled the beauty of the church. She had her auburn hair combed down over her shoulders, and she had only used mascara, a light touch of eye liner, and lip gloss. She made no effort to hide her freckles. Simple, and complemented by a modest white dress with a high collar, and a hem below her knees. At first glance, she appeared to be the model of demure innocence.
"Welcome back, Eugenie. I didn't know if you would return-"
Eugenie cut him off. "Father Alphonse, I feel terrible for the other night, and so confused. I mean, the people at my Daddy's church wouldn't understand, but you were so patient, and I wasn't, I didn't, I shouldn't have..."
Father Al placed his hand on her shoulder. "My child, you were true to your nature, and sought only comfort in a world that expects-"
A tear went down Eugenie's cheek. "Father, I want to atone for my sins, my disrespectful behavior. I want to do penance for what I did, so I can shake these dark feelings."
"What penance do you feel is appropriate, little one?"
With a sniffle, she said "I'm not- I don't- I want to give myself over to- I don't know, I want to make up for what I did!"
"Atonement is a deep matter, my dear. What would lead you from darkness and fill you with light?"
"I want you to... I want you to fill me with the Spirit of the Divine."
"Could you be clearer?"
"The way I took your- When I went down- I want your, uh, the Spirit of the Divine in me. I want to lie down and feel you, uh, release the blessings, your blessings, into my, uh, womb."
"My dear, this is not necessary for-"
"Please, Father! Accept my penance!"
"If it will bring light to the dark places of your soul, I will do as you ask. Let us prepare, my child."
Eugenie was trembling in anticipation and a little fear. She had some doubts now that she was in the church dedicated to Lucifer. But she took Father Al's hand and he led her to the sacristy. He opened a closet, and glanced at her as if he was estimating something, then pulled out a simple crimson robe. "You can change behind the screen. When you have changed. I want you to sit here and meditate on how offering this will help lead you into the light. I will come for you when I am ready." Then he went into his office.
She undressed, and put the satin robe on over her nakedness, and when she came out from behind the screen, he was crossing through the sacristy back into the nave wearing a black robe heavily embroidered with gold thread, depicting what looked sort of like a sunrise. He gestured to the chair, and held a finger to his lips calling for her patience and silence. She sat and closed her eyes. Her pussy was tingling in anticipation, and the fabric teased her nipples every time she shifted in her seat. At the same time, she felt very vulnerable, and was acutely aware that she was giving herself over to him, not her normal sort of tryst.
After a few minutes, he came back, took her hand, and led her through the nave to the apse.
The church was dark, lit only by a half circle of black candles around what looked like a second, low altar directly in front of the main altar. The shadows danced on the darkened stained glass windows and on the crimson walls. The copper ornaments on the main altar glittered in the flickering light.
"Eugenie, have you come freely, and do you freely offer this sacrifice in atonement for your transgressions?"
"I do, Father."
"I shall prepare you."
He opened her robe, moved it off her shoulders, and it slithered to the floor. She could feel a blush rising as she stood before an altar naked, but Father Al was admiring her erect nipples as he pulled something out of a pocket. "Lie down, Eugenie, and we will prepare you to accept the Divine Spirit into your body, to fill you with the blessings of the light, and to have you give yourself over in atonement for your guilt."
Eugenie lay down on the low altar, and realized that under the cloth cover, it was padded. Father Al placed the blindfold on her and drew her arms up over her head.
