Spanked in Church Ch. 10.
The evening was made for doing nothing so that's what they were doing. John Leandro was sitting with his eyes closed and his feet up on the porch railing. In his hand was an ice-cold beer. Drifting through his mind were the spankings he'd given young Prezlea-Lynn a few days before and then how she'd let him -- even encouraged him -- to take her roughly from behind. As he reminisced, he felt his cock grow larger and stiffer and he idly wondered what it would be like to take his supposed wife, Laura, that way. How good a fuck would she be? He guessed that he'd never find out but he had the very ample charms of Prezlea-Lynn herself to enjoy.
Next to him on the old wooden porch sat his supposed wife, Laura Schulten, herself. She closed her fashion magazine and lay it down on a little side table. Like John, she was an undercover ATF agent who was meant to get close to a very strange pastor and gather intel on his probable gunrunning activities so they could close him down. But it seemed that without submitting herself to a very public and humiliating spanking in Deacon Jedediah Stearns's church they would have no chance of getting close enough as the Deacon only trusted those men who fully committed themselves to his teachings. There was no way that she was going to endure that. She was a modern, liberal, independent woman and she could never debase herself that way like some of the women in the Church of the Loving Holy Rebuke. There had to be some other way of getting the information needed and submitting it to the ATF's Philadelphia office. She shifted in her seat and became aware that there was a slight tingling between her legs at the thought of having to actually subject herself to being spanked by a strong man's firm hand. She tried to push that foolish thought out of her mind.
"John, have you got a minute?" asked Laura.
He swung his feet down from the railing and looked over at her, putting thoughts of Prezlea-Lynn's well-tanned ass away.
"Sure," he said.
Leandro took in the scene. Beyond their small front yard was their suburban street off Boyd Avenue in the small town of West Union deep in southern Ohio. It was a pleasant place seemingly little touched by the troubles of the modern world. There was the back and fro whirring of a lawnmower, a group of small children were playing their version of tag combined with a ball; two women were standing and chatting a few doors down. Further away was the muted background roar of the freeway. Above, skies darkening to indigo in the east showed night was drawing in. The air smelled clean with a hint of pine from a nearby stand.
"I really don't want to be spanked in public. Surely there's some other way we can nail this guy?"
"I don't know. It seems that is how his followers show their loyalty and devotion to him."
"Well, we'll have to come up with something else soon," Laura said.
"It will have to be quick." Taking another swallow of his coke, Leandro turned to his colleague. "Listen, I respect your feelings but consider this, Laura. We both know that gun violence is devastating America's inner cities and most of those guns are obtained illegally. And think what the narcotraficantes are doing in Mexico and Central America. We've seen the photos and videos of what the cartels do and that they kill thousands of people down there. Let alone torturing women. And they mostly do it with guns smuggled down from the states by people like Deacon Stearns."
Leandro paused for breath. He was passionate on the subject and that was why he'd joined ATF in the first place.
"And you won't even take a little hand spanking to try and reduce the flow of weapons? Really? Are you that sensitive? You regard your feelings as being worth more than preventing other women getting raped, tortured and killed? And, don't forget, once this assignment is over we'll probably never see each other again except occasionally at conferences, maybe. I know you intend to go to the head office in DC while I want to be based on the border as that's where the real work is. You'll never ever see West Union again. And Stearns will be in a cell in a Supermax for the rest of his life."
Laura paused for thought. She knew John Leandro was making good points but it wasn't him who would be bent over, bare-assed, her privates on display, getting spanked in public. It would be her. She was about to speak when a Chevy truck pulled up outside their home and a young couple got out the cab. They looked about the street for a moment before spotting Laura and John sitting in the evening shade on their porch. The couple waved and walked up the cement path. John and Laura recognized them from church services.
The man was reasonably tall standing just under six foot. He had a square jaw line covered with designer stubble and a long nose. He wore a green plaid shirt and clean blue jeans. The woman with him had long blond hair tied in a loose ponytail. She had beautiful bright blue eyes above a straight nose and full lips. Her floral print sundress hinted at a trim, athletic body with firm breasts. John glanced over from the approaching couple to Laura. He took in Laura's beauty from her light brown hair with auburn tints to her clear gray eyes and lips now pursed in puzzlement. Glancing down he thought that Laura's boobs were definitely larger than this woman's, although he'd never seen them in the flesh.
By now the couple stood at the bottom of the few steps leading up to the porch.
"Hi, I'm Sam Wolford and this is my fiance, Cora Miller," the man said. He had a local accent and a friendly smile. "We brought these and thought we'd stop by. If we're not disturbing you?"
He held up a six-pack while Cora showed some home made cookies.
"You're very welcome," Leandro told them. "C'mon up."
He fetched out a couple more chairs while Laura brought out some glasses and plates. Sam cracked a few beers and handed them over. They talked about the weather, their jobs, and the chances of the Cincinnati Bengals for the upcoming season as well as the local high school team.
"You've been coming to our church the last few weeks," Sam said at last. "And you gave that Prezlea-Lynn a dam' good whuppin Sunday. It was noticed by the Deacon and those who count."
"She needed it. She's so slow at the till," Cora chipped in. "Like she doesn't want to be bothered."
"That's all changing. She's getting herself a new attitude," Leandro said with a grin.
"Do you run a tight ship at home, too? That Laura here knows who the head of the household is?" Sam asked.
"What! If you mean does he beat me, then no! We're equals here," Laura said with a touch of anger in her voice.
Cora looked over and took another bite of her cookie without saying anything. She dropped her eyes to her lap.
"We were like that once but Deacon Stearns showed us the error of our ways," Sam said. "You're living by man's rules but we live by God's. We read, 'Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.' That's 1 Timothy 11-12, I think."
Laura thought for a moment to recall the quote. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Now that's Galatians 3 verse 28," she said and sat back triumphantly.
Sam leaned forwards towards his hosts. "Yet we read in 1 Corinthians chapter 11 verses 9 and 10: 'For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.'"
There was the fire of zealotry in Sam's eyes while his fiance's eyes looked at him adoringly. Laura knew that there was nothing she could do or say to change his opinions; that would take skilled people used to deprogramming cult members. Also, she recalled that she wasn't here to change minds; they were here to get close to Deacon Stearns and gather enough evidence to put him away for a very long time. All the same, she shivered at the thought of the hold this strange ex-biker turned pastor had over his flock.
"It's gotten chilly out now," Leandro said. "Shall we go inside and finish the rest of those beers?"
They headed into the lounge and sat.
"I think you're half way there, friend," Sam said to Leandro. "But a household can only prosper when there is one head. Like a boat only needs one hand on the tiller to steer it."
Laura watched Cora nod in agreement. How brainwashed was this young woman?
"That's so right. It is far better when only one is in charge and God has appointed a man to that role," Cora said. "It's not like Sam beats me, I wouldn't put up with that. Only sometimes he needs to show me the error of my ways and a quick spanking is the best way for me. I wouldn't have said that before we joined the Church of the Loving Holy Rebuke but it has strengthened our relationship."
Sam smiled at his fiance. "And I love Cora so much. She's the best companion I could ever imagine." His smile turned to a frown. "I think a little demonstration is called for so you can see how loving discipline is applied."
Cora looked at her fiance and her jaw dropped. "But I've been so good recently! What have I done wrong?"
"Deacon Stearns told me that Exodus 23 verse 13 says, 'And make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.' And you said the name of a false god yesterday evening."
Cora thought for a moment. "Oh yeah, Osiris? But that was only the answer to a crossword clue I was stuck on."
Sam gasped with outrage. "You said that vile name again. Now I must punish you in front of these good people. They don't want to listen to the blasphemies coming from your mouth. You know what to do; take off your panties, lift up your dress and bend over."
