James leaned into the grey stone wall, pressing his warm face and heated body against the soothing coolness. His mind was racing, but as the chill crept into him through his brown robes, he grew calmer. He had entered the monastery kitchens to alert the cook to the immanent arrival of the bishop of the order. He had been hurrying. He knew he should have been calmly walking. Oh, if he had only been walking he never would have…
He had spun around the corner and run right into the delicious backside of the kitchen maid. It had all happened at once, and his mind was still whirring with the memory of her straightening in surprise and losing her balance, the jasmine and honey smell of her hair as it brushed his face, and his arm instinctively grabbing her around the waist to steady her. The moment was frozen in his brain, her amber curls under his chin, her slender body pressed against him, her sweet gasp of surprise. He felt his cock begin to rise again at the memory of her softness, just as his face burned in memory of the shame and embarrassment of stammering an apology and rushing from the room. He was torn with guilt, shame, and lust. He needed to clear his mind, and beg for forgiveness for his wicked, lustful thoughts.
In the kitchen, Lena was battling similar emotions. She had been so surprised to feel the rough wool and hard body of the monk pressed against her, but the warmth that had rushed over her was incredible. James had smelled of pine and wood smoke. She could still feel the place where his hand had burned into her skin. She remembered the instant of his hardness against her bottom before he had pulled away. She was ashamed to feel such lustful thoughts creep into her mind about a holy man, but she could not shake them. She was desperate to feel his arms around her again, to feel his heat, to feel his strength. Unconsciously, a moan slipped from her lips, as she remembered how sweet his mouth had looked as he had blushed and stammered. His dark eyes had held her own for a second too long, and she had seen the shine of his lust in them. Her body was aching with the same desire she had seen written on his face.
James walked out into the snow-covered gardens, hoping that the intense cold would free him of his emotions. He began murmuring the prayers of confession, his lips moving through the familiar phrases. He wanted to confess to a brother, but he was afraid that she would be punished. They had only begun to allow women onto the monastery to work. He did not want to cause her to lose her income simply because he could not control himself. So, he knelt in the snow and raised his supplications to the grey sky. Half and hour later, shivering with cold, and feeling a renewed sense of clarity, he entered the sanctuary. He was supposed to take confessions tonight for the residents of the surrounding community. He walked up the aisle toward the altar and was humbled as always by the glory of his surroundings.
He slipped into a pew near the front, and knelt down to prepare himself for the rituals to come. As he prayed, he heard a slight rustling that he recognized as parishioners entering the sanctuary, until he felt a hand press against his cock under the pew. He gasped, and instantly his cock was hard and pressing against the fingers as they slid around to grasp him completely through the rough, wool robe. He stammered in his prayers thinking it could only be a demon sent to tempt his soul. He must be imagining that it was her hands moving sinuously up and down his stiff prick. He must be imagining that she was cupping his balls in her hand and moving in fast firm strokes. He must be imagining that she was tugging the edge of his robe out from under his knees.
