The sleazy whoremaster and just taken her in the back yard, with his cock and with a hose. Worse, she had let him see that she was enjoying it. Now she might never get a moment's peace...
As the Master was doing up his trousers, he was telling her again to get started on her assignment. There was money in it for her and a woman waited upstairs with some items she would need.
Rarely did she get the chance for one of the more high-class assignments. As the seamstress upstairs was fitting her into a lovely dress that would suit an upper class lady, Angela reflected on her mission:
The new priest in town was to be "introduced" to pleasures of the flesh. Somebody high up with deep pockets was paying good money to have blackmail material on the new father, who was young, new, and (apparently) innocent. Somehow unwilling to play the little games most clergy did. And it was very important to somebody (Angela doubted even her master knew) that Father Patrick learn to play.
Angela picked up a silk bag and a black stone rosary to complete her ensemble. Her skirts were heavy and rustled against her legs, making her aware of the length of them, all the way down to her dainty lady's shoes. Her bodice was laced tightly, making her breasts spill out over the decolletage. Her nipples still ached from earlier that morning, and she was anxious to shed the tight constrictive clothing. As she set out from the tavern, a few whistles and catcalls followed her. Her figure was shapely, curves accentuated by the dress. Her auburn hair was thick and unruly, but just now it was pinned up in coiled braids under a lace cap. She widened her hazel eyes and pouted out her lips in an attempt to bring her features into what she assumed was an alluringly innocent yet pious expression. Then she grimaced. She would actually have to pay attention to her role this time; a little more finesse was required than for her usual clientele of sailors, dockworkers, and ruffians. She paused by the church doors to take several breaths. She was a young high-born lady, recently come to town to stay with her uncle. She missed her daily tutoring and devotional sessions from back home and desired to continue them with Father Patrick, of whom she'd heard good report. Again schooling her features into a demure expression, she pushed open the doors to the church.
As she looked around her, she didn't have to pretend wonder and amazement. Never having been inside a cathedral before, even a small one such as this, she had never seen the beauty of the glass or the sheer height of the ceilings. She walked forward tentatively, looking about her. Then she heard footsteps. A young man was approaching her, an open smile on his face. His blond hair was curly and his expression full of welcome. She felt a pang at how young he was; surely this must be Father Patrick.
"Welcome, good lady. I am Father Patrick. How may I be of service?"
Angela realized she had been meeting his eyes for several moments now in curiosity and suddenly remembered herself. She cast her eyes down as would more befit a gentle-woman, and spoke softly, "Then you are he that I seek. I was told to ask for you..."
As she explained her "story," she took a moment to regard him. With darting glances, she noted how his glance took in her face, occasionally straying down to her bosom. His face was flushed a little, but she could see that he liked the idea of helping her with lessons and devotions.
He gave a little cough. "I would be glad to assist. Anything to make you feel more at home here," he said, smiling sincerely.
She allowed herself to smile shyly back at him. "Ummm, would it be too much to ask to begin today?" She let a hopeful note drift into her voice as she timidly met his gaze again.
"Ahh, well, I...I don't see why not. I have to read Scripture this evening, but I have a few hours until then...Would you like to come back to one of the classrooms with me?"
"Oh thank you, Father Patrick!" She allowed a deep breath to inflate her lungs, pushing her breasts even further out of the straining fabric. She could see his eyes looking quickly away as he turned to lead her from the central nave. As he led her into one of the back classrooms, she began removing her lace cap. His eyes widened a bit as her hair fell in waves about her shoulders. She smiled apologetically, explaining "the pins hurt my head so and I find it difficult to concentrate on my prayers."
He nodded, looking a little dazed, and motioned for her to sit down on the bench. As he opened his Bible and started to speak, Angela interrupted:
"Father, one reason I was so anxious to begin right away is that there is a passage that last night I was reading and did not understand. I was hoping you might be able to help me."
His voice was confident and condescending as he told her he would be glad to help if she would point out the passage in question.
She took out a small bible out of her silk bag and opened it to the page she had marked before leaving the tavern. "It's in Matthew," she said. "I have been told, sir, that someday I must marry and that seems to be what this passage speaks about, but there were a few words I did not understand..."
Father Patrick, looking down at the open page, looked slightly uncomfortable. "Well," he began.
"It's this word -- adultery."
"Miss, uh -- what did you say your family name was again?"
"Oh, please just call me Angela, Father."
"Well, Angela, ahhh, adultery is...that is...well, when a husband or a wife has...er... relations...with another person.
"Relations?"
"Umm, when they," by now Father Patrick was gesturing helplessly and his face had gone quite red. He was also having trouble keeping his eyes on the pages and not on her breasts. Angela smiled to herself.
"What about this word, here: F-For-Fornication?"
Father Patrick swallowed, shifting uncomfortably in his seat. "Fornication?"
"Yes, how did you say it?"
He cleared his throat again. "Ahh -- Fornication. It means when a man and a woman go to bed together." He got it all out in a rush.
Still she pretended to misunderstand. "You mean they just sleep in the same bed? I did that with my sisters all the time!" she said with wide eyes.
