"Come in please, Sister Harrison".
The voice was calm, but firm. It was the voice of one accustomed to being obeyed without question. Kelly didn't know what he was like at home, but she knew he had six children he could quiet with only a glare.
She stepped inside the office, and the bishop closed the door, locking it with a click.
That was odd,
Kelly thought.
I didn't think bishops usually locked doors for interviews, did they?
She let the thought pass from her mind as she took her seat in one of the comfortable chairs in front of the large oak desk. The desk was adorned with the typical trappings of a bishop; some papers and pens, a few letters, and the obligatory candy dish for the children.
Bishop Stetman was a large, powerful man. His shoulders were broad, and his suit coat did not hide the size of his arms as he sat at his chair and folded his hands on the desk in front of him. Kelly couldn't help but wonder at the size of the chest beneath that white shirt, and the muscles hidden by those sleeves.
"Please, call me Kelly," she told him in a meek voice.
His expression changed not at all. "The reason I have called you here Sister Harrison, is for some concerns I've had." The tension in the room was thick. Kelly could hardly breathe.
"What sort of concerns?" she asked.
"I haven't seen your family at church much recently." His voice was like ice, his gaze unblinking.
"Well, we've been busy, and life has been difficult..." her weak, thin excuse seemed paltry even as it escaped her lips.
The bishop stood up, smoothing his already immaculate suit coat, and walked around the desk to her. He sat on his desk, well within her personal bubble of comfort, and leaned forward to address her.
"Difficult how?"
"I..." she whispered. She could feel his breath on her, less than a foot away. Against her will she felt intimidated, uncomfortable, and just the least bit excited. "I have lots of children. They can be a handful." Kelly managed a weak smile.
Even seated, his gaze was far higher than her own. "You need discipline."
"We have rules..."
"Not rules," he interrupted, standing suddenly. "True discipline". He put his hands on her shoulders, and she suppressed a shudder. "You need to assert authority. Show them that your command is firm, and your will final."
His hands tightened on her shoulders, and they began to move slowly, his thumbs pressing hard into her muscles, and despite the circumstances, it actually felt very good.
"Authority isn't something you have; it is something you
are
."
The bishop stood up, and walked behind her now, putting his hands on her neck this time. His fingers expertly sought the perfect spots along her spine, the tingles threatening to drive her wild.
"Bishop," she asked through hastening breaths. "What are you-"
"I didn't give you permission to speak," the man said in a deep, husky voice. His hands sought their way into her hair now, powerful fingers caressing her scalp. "I see you dye your hair. That's not very conservative. You must be feeling a bit adventurous."
"Well, I-"
"That wasn't a question", he snapped, pulling her head back by her hair. His lips roughly met her neck, and he started to kiss her up and down her sensitive, exposed skin. Any further objections were cut off by choked gasps of pleasure.
