Chapter 17
Shortly after Marcia returned home, she received a message from Michelle, asking her to call her. Michelle explained that while she had demonstrated some development potential at the breakfast prayer meeting, the Pastor's wife would need to meet with her one-on-one (yes, those were the exact words she used) before she could make any recommendations about the future of her and her family to the leadership group. She asked her if she could come over the following day at 11am.
Marcia thought that might be cutting it a bit fine with Connor back some time that day from LA, but seeing that so much was riding on the meeting she agreed. She could pick up the kids from school on her way home if it was a very long session, or stop off in town first for lunch and a spot of shopping if she got through early.
First things first, though: she messaged Connor to get an idea of what time he'd been with them tomorrow, and then hung up the washing she'd put on that morning before heading to Vesna's. It was mild for the time of year, and there was a breeze, so she was able to use the back yard, where the things should be dry before darkness closed in. She was just going out to pick up the boys when Connor messaged her to say that he was taking the 2.30pm flight, so should be home by 8.30, if there were no unexpected delays.
That night, as she lay in bed, Marcia wondered what awaited her on the morrow. Of course, she knew in general terms, but the devil was in the details. She remembered how she had come when she was with Lana only because she was fantasizing about the older woman's cunt, and even now she was becoming extremely horny thinking about her. There was something about her. It wasn't just that she was the Pastor's wife; she had tremendous raw sex appeal. Marcia found herself wondering if she still had carnal relations with her husband, or if he had long since reconciled himself to the fact that his life partner was now interested only in tasting the young meat that was freely available in his congregation.
When Marcia returned home after taking the children to school the following day, her mind turned to the not unimportant matter of what she would wear at her one-on-one with Michelle. She wondered whether they would meet in the same room or whether she might not be taken to one of the many bedrooms in the large house. She knew she must wear a skirt or a dress, and could of course always wear the same outfit again. However, she thought Michelle would appreciate it if she made a bit of an effort, and, what is more, if she made herself a bit more sexy for the older woman.
She opted for her super short lilac open-back tennis dress with built-in discreetly padded push-up cups, under which she wore seamless panties of the closest colour she could find for a near match. She went for light blue in the end. Her new sneakers completed the ensemble, which she covered with a mid-length raincoat. She couldn't wait to see the older woman's face when she handed her the raincoat once she was indoors.
Marcia wasn't the only one who had been looking through her wardrobe, as Michelle met her at the door dressed in an off-white silk blouse (of which the first several buttons were undone) and an old gold calf-length skirt with a very generous slit. Even though she was indoors, she had out on a pair of heels, which clattered over the polished floor of the hallway. Her hair (mousey with streaks of grey) was tied back in a ponytail - not the severe bun she wore in church when on Pastor's wife duties.
When Michelle offered to take Marcia's coat, she had a pretty good idea that it might be concealing something more fetching. But the sight of the tiny tennis dress caused her to take a sharp intake of breath.
"Follow me," said Michelle, ascending the main staircase - her heart aflutter.
The house was very quiet. Once again it seemed like no one else was there. Marcia followed the lady of the house into one of the bedrooms. It didn't take her long to realise that this was no ordinary bedroom - this was the master bedroom, where, presumably, Michelle slept with Pastor Donaldson. Or maybe he had already been tipped out as surplus to requirements.
Marcia had never seen such a big bed. It could easily accommodate four people sleeping in a star shape out from the centre. Still, she supposed that sleep was the last thing on Michelle's mind at eleven o'clock in the morning.
"Did you wear that because you thought it would please me?" asked Michelle in a gently probing tone.
"Yes," replied Marcia simply, wondering if the Pastor's wife was going to insist on her calling her "Mistress" or "Mrs Donaldson" or something like that.
"It does," the older woman said. "Are you wearing panties?"
"Yes," responded Marcia again, this time with a barely noticeable quiver in her voice.
Mrs Donaldson noticed it, though.
"It was very thoughtful of you to wear a seamless undergarment," she said, reverting to the style of a nineteenth-century preacher that she had used the other day.
"How long have you liked women, Marcia?" she asked, this time with a more normal (actually quite friendly) tone.
"Not long," Marcia answered her without embarrassment or shame.
"Have you fantasized about making love to me?" Michelle asked, still standing at some distance from Marcia, as if she feared she had a communicable disease.
"Yes," said Marcia, back in monosyllabic mode.
"Is it because you find me attractive or because you think I have power - power to help you and your husband?"
"At first I was attracted by your power but then I started to desire your body?"
