"Song of Solomon"
Galway, Ireland 1975
"Forgive me Father, for I've sinned. It's been...Well, I dunno how long it's been since my last confession, to be honest."
Off to a great start, lying to a priest in a confessional. Jenny knew exactly how long it had been since her last confession: 57 years, four months, two weeks, and six days, when she had asked for absolution for what she had done during the war. The Great War, they'd called it, "the war to end all wars," where she'd done her duty to her fellow man while they collected souls in their duty to Calypso. Except it hadn't ended all wars and the whole damn thing had started over again just a couple decades later. That wasn't fair. But then again, Jenny was finding more and more often that life on this planet more often than not wasn't fair.
"What are your sins, my child?"
The well-known script hadn't changed in more than three hundred years. Probably the only thing that never changed was Catholicism...well, unless you counted that Vatican II nonsense. Jenny took a deep breath.
"I've killed, Father. It was for a good reason, but still I killed. I've taken the Lord's name in vain I dunno how many times. I was--" No. She still couldn't say that aloud, not to herself and not to her confessor. It had been three years, but the word rape still stuck on Jenny's tongue. "Well...that was my fault anyway. But Father that's because above all, above every terrible thing I've done in my life, I'm an adultress. For the most part an unrepentant one at that. Not that my husband doesn't know about it; he's an adulterer too. Hell, oftentimes he watches. And even though in my heart I know it's wrong, I don't care. I enjoy cuckolding my husband while he watches. Or even while he doesn't watch."
She paused to allow the priest to make some comment before barreling on. "Men, women...any sort of touch that brings me earthly pleasure, I revel in it. Alone or in twos or threes...four is too much. I remember this one couple in Paris, Jean Luc and Celine. God he was hung like a horse! He fucked me so deep and hard that I could see his cock moving inside me..." Well, she'd started her confession in earnest. Something inside her, some sort of self-protection mechanism, wouldn't allow her to continue in earnest. Instead she lingered on the details of her sexual conquests, secretly wondering if she was turning on the priest. She'd seen him before entering the confessional and wouldn't at all mind hitting that. "And Celine...one of the finest pussies I've ever tasted, Father. She was...mm! There was one time I was riding Jean Luc and eating out his wife while my husband fucked my ass at the same time. I could've sworn I saw Heaven when they finally let me cum."
Jenny bit her lip and squirmed, starting to get herself worked up a bit. "But it isn't all animal rutting, either Father. One time I spent six hours with these twins, Rosemary and Lily, and it was so slow and sensual. Their breasts were just...perfect, and Lily was completely clean shaven. That was the first time I'd experienced that and dear God it makes so much of a difference! John--my husband, I mean--says he likes me better that way too, now that I've done it. But Rosemary's tongue was so fucking talented...I must've cum at least five times. John says eight, but I'm not so sure. I lost count, anyway. Does it count as adultery if he's there too?" She waited for her answer before continuing. "You know I feel sorry for you lot sometimes. Priests, I mean. You've never known the touch of a woman, her hand around your cock, the way her nipple stiffens when you suck on it, the way she tastes when she cums around your tongue. You can only imagine those sorts of things, and then feel guilty when you touch yourself while imagining them." Jenny's fingers had snuck between her thighs at the memory of her night with the brunette twins. "And with how long you must go between each time...I can't imagine how hard you must cum when you finally let yourself, imagining plowing some whore from behind after she's sucked your cock so well you feel you might explode..."
Then a devious thought came to Jenny. She would have the priest...but not yet. She'd started her confession in earnest, but she wasn't ready yet. 57 years and she wasn't ready for the burden of forgiveness. "I had better go," she said as contritely as she could. "I've taken up enough of your time, Father. I can come back tomorrow to finish, and then you can give me my penance. If you want, I mean."
