Part Three
Chapter 1, Laundry Day
Mrs. Susan Madison trudged wearily up the stairs of the St. Joseph's rectory carrying a brown wicker laundry basket. Luckily for her back, today's load of washing was on the lighter side, consisting mostly of Father Charles' socks, undershirts and some brightly colored women's underwear, which she didn't recognize. Sadly, the woman had become a widow five years ago. She was forty-five years old, short in stature, but she possessed unusually large and heavy breasts, which was the source of some painful health issues with her back.
There was a small plastic bag of wooden clothespins on top of the pile of folded laundry, which she tossed onto the bedspread in disgust. She turned her face upwards towards heaven and prayed, "Oh Lord, please help me, that I may convince Father Charles that now is the time for the Church to buy me a brand new clothes dryer for the rectory; even a decently working used dryer would be very acceptable Lord."
For the third time in the last six months, the thirty year old Kenmore had gone on the fritz, making its normal sounds and vibrations and electrical smells, but to Susan's dismay it produced absolutely zero heat. Each time the machine failed she pleaded her case to Father Charles, who only nodded his head sympathetically. She resolved that today she would get the response that she wanted.
She stuck her head out of the doorway and called downstairs, "Father Charles, can you come here please?"
The young cleric answered promptly, "I'll be right there Mrs. Madison."
She heard his footsteps on the stairway as he briskly ascended, and then the handsome priest, who was fifteen years her junior, entered the bedroom.
"Alright Susan, what is it?"
She held up the bag of clothespins and shook them angrily in his face.
"The damn dryer is broken again Father Charles, and you will do something about it this time! I'm dead serious about this!"
This was a familiar subject that he was not comfortable with and he would choose to avoid if at all possible. Obviously, he could not avoid it this time.
"I certainly understand your frustration Susan, and if I could help you, believe me I would, but the weekly tithes from the parishioners have been unusually modest lately."
Mrs. Susan Madison felt herself quickly becoming very angry at the cleric. She gave him a very stern look. With a sarcastic tone of voice she said, "May I offer a small suggestion Father Charles?"
He smiled meekly back at her, "Of course you can Susan."
The matronly looking housekeeper's facial expression softened a tiny bit.
"I think you should mention the problem of the dryer in your sermon this Sunday, and directly entreat your congregation to be more generous. Don't beat around the bush, Father Charles. Explain to them in plain language that your housekeeper suffers from severe back pain that is aggravated by having to constantly bend over while hanging your wet laundry over the backyard clothes line, and then she must do even more bending over when folding the dry clothes and placing them back into the laundry basket, and the pain is simply too much for her to bear any longer. It is simply their Christian duty to help!"
Father Charles gave her suggestion careful consideration before giving his reply. He very much wished to agree to her request, and to make her happy, but he knew it just wasn't possible given the parish's current financial state. He took her hand and patted it gently.
"You know I would do anything I can to make you happy Susan, but the parish just doesn't have the necessary resources right now. When I construct next year's budget I will certainly account for your new dryer."
In the woman's mind this answer was woefully weak, but she knew how to fix that. She placed one hand over his crotch and gave his genitals a gentle squeeze.
"I see... well in that case Father Charles, I'm afraid my ailing back will prevent us from having our customary 'alone time' for the foreseeable future."
Looking directly into his eyes she smiled while wrapping her fingers around his scrotum, gripping his testicles firmly. As the pain in his ball sack increased in intensity, capturing his attention, he began to fully comprehend her meaning. The special 'alone time' he shared with this woman was the most important thing in his life, and it was unimaginable that it could be taken away from him. He treasured their special time together, where he could tell her all of his secret thoughts and desires, no matter how sinful and horrendous they were, and this saintly woman would comfort him by bringing him into her bountiful bosom and make everything well again. He made his decision.
"I will make the topic of a new dryer the first point in my sermon this Sunday. I promise! I won't let you down Susan!"
His housekeeper continued to smile back at him... but at the same time forcefully squeezed his tender balls for a few more seconds before releasing her grip, and then lovingly patting him on the cheek.
"I'm sure that your flock will be very generous after you have fully and clearly explained the seriousness of the problem, Father Charles."
He pulled her hand away from his cheek and tenderly kissed the palm.
"Yes, I'm sure you're right Susan. This will all be sorted out, straight away!"
The young priest reached out with one hand and lifted up one of her cantaloupe sized breasts, and he marveled at the weight of it. Mrs. Madison allowed him to enjoy this small pleasure for another minute before standing up, and then she started arranging the clean laundry on top of the bed.
"Can I help you put the laundry away Auntie Susan?"
She looked directly at him, and saw that he was most needful of her "special" attention.
"That would be grand Father. You can put your undershirts and socks away, and I'll take care of your new panties. They're lovely little panties, Charlie my boy."
She held up one of his new panties that he'd recently purchased from Camouflage, so that the white cotton gusset was hanging down at eye level.
"Your new women's underwear is quite pretty and feminine, unlike the sensible white cotton knickers that I give you to wear. Do you like your new panties Charlie? Are they comfortable?"
