Daddy Paul
All I ever wanted was to be a good, obedient servant of God.
**************************************
When I was growing up, my Mom always said that I was overly religious and preoccupied with being pure for God. Of course, there was nothing wrong with that, but she just thought it was a bit unusual for a young, pretty girl to be so concerned with such thoughts. On the one hand, she said she was concerned, but on the other, Mom thought at least she didn't need to be worried about me getting involved with boys or possibly getting pregnant before I got married.
Mom didn't seem to understand that even though I wanted to live a Godly life and stay pure until marriage, I liked boys, and for a spell, boys were all I thought about, but it had never gone any further. All of that changed when I was a senior in high school, and I met Jack Williams, a seemingly nice young man who lied and told me he was a seminary student attending Melber Bible College. I liked him, and we had long, thoughtful conversations about religion, God, marriage, you know, things like that; and in a relatively short time, I foolishly, naively thought he might be "the one."
On our first real date, the tentative, inexperienced kissing and fondling quickly changed, and before I understood what was happening, my panties were off, and Jack was between my legs. Even though he had gotten me drunk, I felt warm, happy, and eager to please, being sexually aroused for the first time in my life. As Jack worked his cock in and out of my no longer virgin pussy, I remember looking up at him and feeling a strange sensation of pleasure, but at the same time aware but unable to stop what was happening, on some level, I knew I did not want this. I must have blacked out because I could feel his cum leaking out and dripping down between my thighs when I came to.
I remember waking up and looked into Jack's face, "Oh my god Jack . . . what have you done?" I asked, my panic rising.
"I'm sorry, I meant to pull out . . . but I just couldn't help myself," he said unconvincingly.

Jack brought me home but didn't walk me to the door. When I walked into the house, my stepfather Frank was there in the living room, already on his way to being drunk and belligerent. I didn't know Frank very well; in fact, I didn't really know him at all. During one of her binges, my Mom had met him, married him, and brought him home.
I thought back over the last few months and wondered about the unease and tension that had existed in our house after my stepfather Frank moved in. For Mom's sake, I tried to be friendly with Frank, but my dislike of him was so strong, it was impossible for me to like him.
I didn't like the way he looked at me, the way he followed me with his eyes. Frank seemed to be always around me or trying to touch me, mostly when Mom wasn't there. He would appear out of nowhere offering to help me with one thing or another, bringing in the grocery, lifting things, taking out the trash. Of course, I always thanked him, and then one day, he said he'd like a hug instead of just my thanks. Though I felt uncomfortable, I let him hug me and cringed when I felt his disgusting erection press against my stomach. After that, I realized that hugging him was a stupid thing to do because now I would frequently catch him almost lustfully staring at my breasts and nipples or down between my legs.
Not too long after the hugging incident, Mom was upstairs in their bedroom, and Frank cornered me in the kitchen pantry. Grabbing me by the arm, he pulled me to him and kissed me hard on the mouth as he took my hand and put it over his erection. I pushed away from him and ran out of the room. I didn't say anything to Mom, she loved Frank, and I didn't think she would believe me anyway.
Confused, frightened, and sensing I would get no help from my Mom, each night, I prayed to God to make Frank stay away from me and to purge him of the unholy thoughts he had toward me.
"Dear God, cover me with your love and protection. Help me stay on the path of righteousness and chastity, and give me the strength to conquer and turn away from unnatural urges. Amen."
Sadly my prayers didn't seem to be working, and so I prayed even harder after I caught him watching me through the window one night as I got ready for bed.
I was in my bedroom changing into my bedclothes. My bedroom shutters were slightly open as they typically were, especially in the summer, and I hadn't noticed him at first. It had never occurred to me that anyone would be able to see in or even that they would want to spy on me, yet there Frank was looking at me as I stood naked, my body on full display. I must have given him an eyeful, well-shaped breasts with long puffy nipples, slim-waisted, thick dark shoulder length hair, petite stature, neat, closely trimmed soft, reddish brown bush. Hearing a muffled grunting noise out in the yard, I could make out Frank unashamedly standing there jerking himself as he watched me. Though embarrassed, I was also angry and resisted the urge to cover myself but defiantly stood there, returning his stare and wondering if this was the first time he had peeped at me as I readied for my shower or bed.
I prayed for a long time that night, asking God to forgive me for tempting Frank.

Frank started in on me as soon as I came through the door. From my stained, disheveled clothes, tear-streaked face, appearance, and general upset, he knew something had happened.
"What you been doing, girl? You look a mess," then after a long pause and looking at me intently, he asked, "you been fucking ain't you, girl?"
I burst into tears, and he started shouting at me, spittle flying, calling me a whore. He wasn't even my birth father, but for some reason, he was furious, and he said I needed to be punished.
"You little slut . . . you walk around her acting so good and pure, but I got your number now. If you're that easy and hungry to be fucked then I'm just the one to show you how it's done."
He came at me and grabbed my blouse, tearing it, and I began to scream. About that time, Mom came flying down the stairs.
"What the hell is going on down here? Frank, let go of her," she shouted at him.
"This little bitch of yours been out fucking some guy tonight and has the nerve to come in here looking like she been selling it on the street."
"No, Mom, that's not what happened," but neither of them would or wanted to listen.
"Get upstairs now, and get cleaned up . . . we'll talk about this tomorrow," Momma said.

The following evening after dinner, the three of us sat down and talked about what had happened. Mom said she thought it would be good for me if I went away for a while.
I looked at her in surprise, "Mom, why?"
This drama was all Frank's doing. He had convinced her to do this to get back at me for not letting him screw me. I hated him.
"I think it will be for the best, honey," she said softly, her head down, unable to look at me.
"I talked to your Grandpa last night, Jenna," Mom began. "Grandpa discussed your situation with Pastor Stephenson, and they agreed that you could stay with the Pastor for as long as you need to or want to at the Victorian." Pastor Paul Stephenson, who was the Pastor of Evergreen Community Church, and Grandpa were old friends, and I remember having met him a few times, growing up when I visited my Grandparents. Before retiring, Grandpa was responsible for managing several of the Pastor's business concerns. After my Grandma died a little over ten years ago, Grandpa went to live with the Pastor in a large, old Victorian house owned by the church that Pastor Paul was renovating and restoring. Grandpa had lived at the Victorian for a few years, but after retiring and subsequent failing health, he moved into an assisted living facility but was still in close contact with the Pastor.
I was hurt and felt betrayed by Mom, but I listened, and although I thought what she and my stepfather were doing was wrong and unfair, I was just the same relieved and glad of the opportunity to get away from them and start over. The new situation seemed perfect; I could take this opportunity to reaffirm my religious self and faith in God, and even go back to school if I wanted to. My primary responsibilities would be light housekeeping, cooking, helping in the church office, helping out with some restoration work whenever I could, and just being a companion for the Pastor.
Though I had already turned eighteen and could have set out on my own, I wasn't ready to do that emotionally, psychologically, or financially, so I accepted his offer and went to live with Pastor Stephenson.

I'm not even sure how it started with Daddy Paul.
Paul Stephenson was one of the more prosperous businessmen in the county; he was also the very popular Pastor of the Evergreen Community Church. Respected, upstanding, loved, and revered by everyone. He was kind and thoughtful, loving, and gentle, qualities that I had missed most of my life, especially from me; I trusted and felt safe with him. At first, I must admit that I was afraid, not knowing what to expect or how to respond. I soon learned my anxiety was unnecessary. My fears calmed when the first Sunday after I arrived, Pastor Stephenson escorted me to church with him and introduced me to his congregation.
My life quickly fell into a comfortable routine. Each day I would have bible study with Pastor Stephenson after lunch and then again closer to bedtime when things had quieted down for the day.
One night we were seated at the dining room table, getting ready to begin my study session, when Pastor Stephenson said, "I'd like for you to call me Daddy Paul, or better yet just Daddy."
