It was cool in the church and Rosemary was grateful for the blanket around her knees. The small group of wedding guests filled the first two rows and her wheelchair was behind them in the centre isle from where she had a good view of the wedding service.
I should be up there supporting my friend, not sitting here in this wheelchair, she grumbled to herself. All because I didn't look where I was going and fell down those church steps. The doctor had told her that she would be fine in a few weeks but in the meantime she had to endure a constant nagging pain in he back.
Rosemary watched the priest as he conducted the service with a warm smile on his handsome, black face. Yes it's true what they say, Rosemary mused, the good ones are already married, and this one is married to his church. He really is a good-looking man though, she thought. She had always been attracted to coloured men and she found this new priest particularly appealing. She watched him intently and unconsciously slipped one hand under the blanket to press against the pleasant ache that was stirring between her legs. As she allowed her thoughts to drift into erotic fantasy she pushed her hand under her skirt and inside her panties. The pain in her back was forgotten as she giggled to herself wickedly. What would they all think if they knew what I was doing? But they don't know and they can't see. Even if one of them was to turn round, the blanket hides my naughty secret.
She suppressed a moan of lust as her fingers teased the erect nub of her clitoris and she longed to cup her breasts and squeeze her nipples, which had become hard and sensitive. Just as she was wondering how to do this discreetly, the congregation was directed by the priest to stand and sing the final hymn. Reluctantly, Rosemary took her hand from under the blanket and holding up her hymnbook, she joined in the singing.
Later, next door, at the reception in church hall, Rosemary was bored. She sat alone, with a glass of wine in one hand and a growing temptation the slip the other hand under the blanket. Her lust got the better of her judgement, and minutes later she was quivering with sensual bliss as her fingers played in the wetness of her sex.
'Have you been left all alone then?' said a familiar voice beside her.
She turned quickly and found that she was staring at the front of a pair of grey trousers. Then bulge in the material left her in no doubt that the trousers belonged to a man. She looked up with a start to see the handsome priest smiling down at her.
'Sorry I didn't mean to startle you; I am Father Joseph,' said the priest, going down on one knee so that he was at her level.
'Er... no... not at all... it's okay, my friend has just gone to the buffet,' said a very flustered Rosemary, wondering if she could discreetly bring her hand from under the blanket.
'It's very sad to see such a pretty girl in a wheelchair. May I ask what happened?'
'It's nothing serious; in fact it's a bit embarrassing; I hurt my back when I slipped on the church steps. My legs and everything function all right, I just have trouble walking.'
'Oh I'm sorry to hear that. So how long do you expect to the in the wheelchair?'
Rosemary explained the doctor's prognosis and as they continued to make pleasant small talk, her fingers she began to stir, once again, under the blanket. She was surprised and flattered to realise that he was flirting with her and she knew that her face was flushed with her arousal.
There was an awkward pause in the conversation and then Father Joseph cleared his throat and said. 'I studied to be a doctor before I joined the church. I wonder if you would like me to examine you? You know...er...second opinion, just in case.'
Rosemary could see that Father Joseph was a little uncomfortable with his suggestion and she was not sure what he really meant. Had he detected the signs of her arousal? Did he suspect the reason that her hand was under the blanket? But as she her fingers continued to writhe in her wet crease, she knew there could be only one answer, 'Yes Father, I would be very grateful. Are you sure I'm not being too much trouble?'
'No trouble at all,' said Father Joseph, standing up and taking hold of the wheelchair. 'We'll go round to the vestry.' And without another word, he wheeled her towards the door.
The vestry was warm and airy, and during the short trip, Rosemary had managed to bring her hand above the blanket. As her ardour cooled she began to have second thoughts. What am I doing here? This man is not only a priest but also he's nearly twice my age. Behind her there was a sharp click as the key was turned in the lock. She looked up slowly at Father Joseph who was now standing next to a very large oblong table in the centre of the room. The table was covered with a variety of clerical vestments. The priest patted the table and said. 'This should be okay. Shall I help you up?'
Rosemary smiled helplessly and held out her arms to him and he lifted her on to the table.
