"Forgive me Father, for I have sinned.."
'Father David' had heard it, time and time, again. Theft. Lusting for another man's wife. Violence. Impurity. Cheating on taxes. Cheating on girlfriends. Cheating on boyfriends.
He hadn't been an ordained priest for a year, yet, and still the list kept growing.
He still wasn't sure if this was what he wanted to do, with his life. He was young, (only twenty-eight,) blonde-haired, green-eyed. He kept his perpetually slender body in shape by jogging, six days a week, as well as stretching exercises. He knew that vanity was a sin, but so, too, was the body a temple. Why not keep it in shape, *and* looking good? Not that anybody looked at priests, anymore...no doubt from the fall-out due to the Catholic 'scandal'.
It was early, early in the morning, and, as was his habit, he was wandering the main worship-hall of the small church he and a couple of others had been put in charge of; an average church for an average flock. Dimming half of the candles, he smiled to himself in the semi-darkness...there was something almost sensuous about the play of light and shadow, flickering around the pews, the altar, casting phantoms up on the pipes of the organ that belted its early-morning welcome on Sundays. Shaking his head in an attempt to clean them of such 'wrong' thoughts, he made his way into the small confessional booth towards the back, to try and repress the feeling of being overwhelmed by the vaulted ceilings, the stained glass, the archaically designed walls.
Settling into the seat he took whenever the men and women of his congregation, he tipped his chin into his hands, closing his eyes...and then he heard it. Directly opposite him, behind the screen and black blinder, there was a...sound. A rustling sound., like fabric was being moved. He had no idea as to who could be sitting in his confessional booth well after midnight....he kept the doors of the church unlocked if any of the homeless off of the street needed warmth and shelter in the colder months, or there were parishoners seeking council outside of their sleeping hours....but he hadn't heard anybody come in.
Dropping down and peering through a gap between the thick fabric and the dividing screen, he couldn't believe what he saw:
A young woman...she had to be twenty-one, at most...was settled back into a corner of the booth. The fact that she was a Catholic student was obvious by her skirt and blouse, but what really caught his eye was the fact that her skirt was bunched up to her hips, and if she had any underwear on beforehand, she didn't, now. Her slender hands were glistening, her legs spread wantonly, head dropped down so that all he saw of her face was a peek of a jaw or a chin through an auburn-streaked mane. He was pretty sure that she couldn't see him, what with the hair in the way, the eyes seemingly closed...God, she was totally lost in this! Swallowing thickly a couple of times, he was pretty sure that he should say something...this was wrong on so many levels...but he couldn't deny the enjoyment, the sheer pleasure he got from watching her, listening to her...Jesus, even *smelling* her. It was thick in the air, and he had no idea as to why he hadn't first smelled it when he got into the booth.
Feeling a painful throb between his thighs, he glanced down...God, this was really affecting him!...he had to do something about it. Keeping his eye up to the peep-hole, he dropped his hands down to his robe, parting the material, and shakily reaching into his khaki slacks, underneath his briefs. The voice in his head, the one that kept yelling for him to stop, to do something, to get out of there was quickly drowned out by her mewls, her gasps...and his own, heavy breathing. Tugging his pants and underwear down, he didn't bother covering up with the thick material of his robe, stroking, lightly. Whispered, whispered coaxings went along with her motions, his jaw clenching as he watched sweat break out on her body, her entire form shaking. Quivering.
'That's it...' It was barely a whisper past his lips, maybe a trick of the draft, maybe somehow she heard him...because right before she hit her peak, her head jerked back, eyes opened...and she saw a shadow blocking the dim, dim light of the booth. Instead of stopping, though, it was too late...she went over the edge, gasping, clawing at the cushions of the booth in the throes of one *hell* of an orgasm. David didn't realize this, as his own head had gone down, his eyes, too, closing as he unconsciously rocked his hips into the motions of his hand. Maybe that was part of the problem....this was all he could do to relieve his pressure, and even *that* wasn't supposed to be done.
While he hadn't realized she saw him in the middle of her own orgasm, he quickly realized something was amiss when he heard her move...and then the door to his own side flew open. "I *thought* I heard somebody.." It was sultry, smoky..and definitely female. That quiet exclamation was followed by an even more excited.."...a priest!" He didn't even have a chance to really move before she had come into his side of the confessional, pulling the door shut, behind her. His hands were moved away, and then his robe was pushed out of the way, his pants and underwear were pulled firmly...and before you could say 'Hail Mary!' he felt the tight, wet heat of her mouth surrounding his throbbing shaft.
