From the second Jason saw the women, he knew they would be trouble. While he was taught not to judge others, whether they be lost or on the path, he couldn't help but bristle in apprehension as they strolled inside, clad in scant but tight two-piece bikinis matching their hair colors; a long-legged redhead, a wide-hipped brunette, and an ample-bosomed dark-skinned woman with shockingly green hair.
"Er...hello, ladies. Are you...perhaps lost?" asked Jason, ever polite, but silently wishing they'd leave before evening mass.
The redhead clicked her tongue as she eyed the young, brown-haired boy up and down, her lips slowly curling into a smile that had him shaking. He'd seen a look similar to that on his nature shows, just before a lion took down a gazelle.
"Naw." she drawled in a husky southern twang. "We're riiiight where we wanna be, ain't that so, girls?"
"I should say so." purred the brunette, her voice sweet cream.
"What's your name, cutie?" asked the green-haired woman, voice low and smoky.
Blushing at the compliment, Jason stammered out his name, cheeks reddening even further as the trio giggled and moved closer and closer to him. "J-Jason, ma'am."
"Well, now, hear that, Cecile?" laughed the redhead. "He called you 'ma'm'! Ain't that just the sweeetest thing, a boy with sum manners."
"Oh,
absolutely
, Maggie Jo!" tittered the brunette. "How old are you, Mr. Polite Boy?"
"N-Nineteen, ma'am. Twenty in September."
The black-haired woman squealed, her blue eyes shimmering. "Oooh, 'ma'am'! Mr. Polite Boy, you are just too precious. I could just eat you
up
."
Jason was praying she didn't mean literally.
"Simmer down, Felicia, yer scarin' tha lil' darlin'!" But from the look in Maggie Jo's eyes, that seemed to be their goal. "What's yer name again, boy?"
"Jason, ma'am," Again, Felicia squealed, earning a playful swat from Cecile. "Would the three of you happen to have business here?"
The three shared scheming glances before bursting into giggles. "Weeeeeeeell," said Maggie Jo. "We wanted to stop on by to brush up on our...
scripture
."
"Oh, yeah, yeah," continued Cecile. "We stumbled a bit from the path, and we're looking for a bit of guidance."
"Too true," smiler Felicia, sashaying towards Jason until they were inches apart. "Spank me, daddy, I've been naughty."
The broom Jason had been sweeping with fell from his hands, the echo of it clattering drowned out by the giggles of the three women.
"Oop, made a blunder there. I think it should be, 'forgive me, Father, for I have sinned?'"
"You're baaaaad, Felicia." chided Cecile.
"See?" Maggie Jo pulled her friends close to her, adopting a wounded puppy look that wasn't fooling anyone, least of all Jason. "We's just poor, lost lil' lambs, lookin' fer a shepherd ta put us back on tha straight'n narrow. Ain'tcha got time to help us, Jason, Mr. Polite Boy?"
It was natural to want to help others; that was the Christian way he was taught ever since he was old enough. But right now, Jason wanted nothing more than these lascivious women to vacate his presence immediately. And ideally, never return. "I'm s-sorry, but I'm not really qualified for such things." spoke Jason. He tried to move away, but Cecile had moved to his back, while Maggie Jo and Felicia flanked him on either side, boxing him in.
"Now, now, don't sell yourself short, lil' darlin'," said Maggie Jo. "Ah'm sure there's loooots you could teach us."
They inched closer, Jason's chances of escape steadily dwindling. His heart hammered as the three gazed at him like a piece of meat, the kind of hunger that bordered on ravenousness.
"Absolve us of our sins, cutie." giggled Felicia.
"Ladies, please, I really think you all should--"
-rattle-
Jason froze at the sound of metal clanging, and for some reason, was unable to pull his wrists apart. As he wondered what was happening, Cecile stepped out from behind him, twirling something in her finger. A single, silver key.
"W-What is this!?" exclaimed the brunette.
"Handcuffs!" replied Felicia, as though it were the most obvious thing in the world. "Had to make sure you couldn't escape, cutie."
"Hey, let's get him in the confessional." said Cecile. The other two nodded, Maggie Jo guiding him towards the booth with her hands on his shoulders.
Fear gripped Jason tight. What were they planning on doing to him? He doubted it was anything good. If only he wasn't the only one in the church, he could at least call for help.
Maggie Jo pushed him into one side of the confessional, while Felicia and Cecile, giggling like schoolgirls, shuffled into the other, the doors shutting with a kind of solemn finality.
"Ladies, please, this...this is highly improper!" exclaimed Jason. "I-If you let me go now, I'll consider this nothing more than hijinks and we can go about our lives."
"Temptin'...but nah." replied Maggie Jo with a chuckle.
Jason tried to speak again, but all that came out was a sharp squeal as Maggie Jo's hands squeezed his bottom.
