Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2012 17:10:02 -0500 From: Bi Cruiser Subject: A Matter for Confession - Chapter 2 A Matter for Confession - Chapter 2 "Bless me father for I have sinned..." I said it so loudly, just as the little door beneath the dark screen only inches from my face slid open, that I startled myself and I think Father Flannigan too but I softened my voice and continued with the most difficult confession to that time in my young life. My voice quavered as I revealed my decadence to the priest and before God almighty. In that moment, all I felt was fear of punishment and not sorrow for my sin. Even as a young boy, I wondered why sex was a sin. The way my dad had explained it to me during our "birds and the bees" discussion, sex was a beautiful thing, but he emphasized it was to be constrained within the bond matrimony. None the less, the picture he painted was that sex was something special and to be enjoyed and was necessary to make babies. It was the church that put the shackles of sin around sex; not my dad. Regardless, the fear of God's punishment drilled into me by the nuns was driving me that day in the confessional and I was in dire need of absolution in case of my sudden death. I didn't want to spend eternity roasting in the fires of hell so I almost begged Father Flannigan for forgiveness. He clearly understood my desperation and charitably tried to calm me down as I broke into tears and powerful sobbing. I don't know what shocked me out of my involuntary outburst more; the realization that I wasn't going to be loudly excoriated within earshot of my classmates or the fact that Father Flannigan called me by my name, Billy. My God! He knew who I was! Another of my naive beliefs toppled with the realization that confession was not really anonymous. That just added yet another burden to my already heavily laden conscience. I would never be able to look Father Flannigan in the eye again. I would have to avoid him at Mass and when he visited the school which, fortunately for me, was not frequent, and in public since my parents and I use to run into him in and around town all of the time. Almost everything we did was centered on the church. I would now have to hang my head in shame when I was anywhere near him. If all of that wasn't enough, He asked me to describe what happened and to describe it in embarrassing detail. It became clear that I wasn't going to be able to hide anything. He didn't let me gloss over a single detail and continually pressed me for more information. I had to describe just what I did, blow by blow so to speak. I found myself tantalized at describing all of these intimate salacious acts to another person and delved into describing the dirty things I did with accelerating enthusiasm. When I finished, Father Flannigan was silent for quite a long time. I was hoping that he wasn't taking all of that time to plan a major penance or, God forbid, excommunication. Eventually, he did speak and it was in a very calm and soft voice that put me at ease, at least less anxious. He asked me if anyone had ever talked to me about the facts of life and if there was anything going on in my house that made me feel bad or "dirty." Of course, I protested that nothing could possibly be wrong at my house. I had a great family and felt safer there than anywhere else in the world. He accepted my answers, even if they may have come across a bit terse, and gave me a truncated birds-and-bees talk and cautioned that I need to exercise some self control, and then came the proclamation. He condemned me to becoming an altar boy. I protested and even begged not to be forced into doing that. I was too old. Candidates were always selected or more accurately, abducted from the ranks of the fourth grade. I remember slinking down in my seat as far as possible trying to disappear under my desk when Father Gerard came into my fourth grade class unannounced and began selecting his next set of victims for the altar boy concentration camp. They would be forced to memorize the prayers and responses said during Mass in Latin. They would also have to get up early enough in the morning to serve at 5:30 Mass. There was no way that I wanted to get up that early in the morning. The only consolation was that the altar boys got out of classes in the morning when needed to serve at funeral Masses. I have to admit; they also got to go on lots of outings and did neat things as a group. But still, I was much too lazy to put up with the rigors of learning Latin and getting up that early in the morning. Well, it didn't matter what I wanted, then or now. If I didn't want to burn in hell for all eternity, I was now going to become an altar boy. When I told my parents that I was becoming an altar boy, they were both shocked and a bit skeptical. They too thought that I was too old for that and questioned my belated motivation. I wasn't about to tell them that I was condemned to this fate in confession. I just smiled and tried to act altar boy-like. I'm sure my dad saw through my masquerade but didn't let on. I was ordered to show up at the rectory at 10:00 am the next day, Saturday. It was a good thing that I didn't have much time to think about it or I may have chickened out, but I didn't and showed up 15 minutes early. It was a very hot day for early May and neither the church nor the rectory had air conditioning in those days. The house matron answered the door and sat me in one of the very old large wooden chairs with padded leather seats that lined the wall and then she poked her head into the parish office to tell Father Flannigan that I was there. Those couple of minutes sitting there were difficult and anxiety ridden. I was wearing my school uniform of heavy pants, white shirt and tie. Needless to say, I was sweating profusely and I could feel the wetness under my ass where the leather seat felt like it was the top of an oven. The hallway was dark and the air was hot and heavy to breathe because the matron had shut the big wooden door behind us cutting off most of the light and any hope of a breeze. Father came out into the hall in a bright and cheery mood despite his complaining about the heat, all the while with a big smile on his face. His buoyant demeanor immediately drained all of the anxiety and fear from me. He bounded over to open the front door while loudly protesting the matron's habit of closing it even when it was so hot. He pondered out loud about what she was afraid of being that this was a church rectory which would be just as safe as being in the church right next door (obviously things have changed since then). Upon opening the door wide, he turned to face me and with the sunlight glaring through the door and around him, I thought he looked like an angel. The light reflected off of his shoulders made me imagine he had wings and the light shining through his hair reminded me of a halo. He offered his hand and I grasped it in as manly a fashion as I could. My dad taught me the handshaking protocol and to grasp firmly but not excessively and never let my hand be squished by an overly aggressive counterpart. Well, Father gave me a secondary squeeze, I think as a test, and I returned it with matching pressure causing Father's smile to get even broader on his handsome face. He guided me into his office and when he got out of the sunlight, I could see that he was shirtless, wearing only his roman collar and a Rabat covering his chest and stomach, it being apparently too hot for his white broadcloth shirt. He was a very handsome young man and amazingly muscular. His black hair was so shiny that it even shone in the comparative darkness of the office. It seemed to reflect every ray of light that came through the floor to ceiling windows that opened to the wraparound porch of the old Victorian building. If it weren't that the open windowpanes blocked half of the opening, you could have used them for doors. I took a seat near one of them to sit in a breeze while Father Flannigan filled out a few forms and had me sign them and gave me a folder containing written materials that I would need and he told me that he was happy that I brought my Saint Joseph daily missal that contained all of the prayers I would need to learn only this time I would have to use the left hand pages that were written in Latin. I stood there pleased with myself and watched as Father reached to unfasten the strap on his side holding the Rabat to his chest and after unfastening the clasp; he then reached up to the back of his neck to release the garment and let it slide away from his body and he placed it on the desk between the two of us. He then reached back up to unfasten his roman collar and had to catch it as it sprang away from his neck and he placed it too on the desk. I was shocked to see a priest standing there naked from the waist up. He looked like a movie star and not a parish priest. His chest was muscular and well formed, accented by a manly array of black hair. He was an Adonis. I was starting to get frightened for thinking of him like that. What the hell was I thinking! He quickly threw on a white teeshirt and covered his amazing upper body while inviting me to join him and others in the sacristy of the church next door. As we walked over together he talked to me like I was a friend and not just a student or not just a little boy. As we walked through the door of the sacristy, who was the first person I saw but Robert. My God! Did Father know it was him who I sinned with? Did Robert confess to him too? All of my anxieties instantly returned and I felt my eyes begin to well up with tears. Seeing that, Father put his arm around my shoulder and gave me a little hug and told me that everything would be all right and with that I was instantly calm again. There were quite a few boys in the room and they were all about my age or older and there was one other adult; Deacon Paul who read the epistles and lead the faithful in singing hymns during Mass. It was Paul who instructed us all to take seats on the benches that lined either side of a very long table in the middle of the room; Acolytes like me on one side and Knights on the other. It turned out that it was the knights, who were experienced high school aged altar boys, who were going to teach us acolytes how to be altar boys. Father Flannigan announced that Deacon Paul would be responsible to oversee us all and quickly turned on his heel and sort of sprang from the room. It looked as if he was running as he flew through the door. I was the first to sit and Robert came over to sit right next to me. He nudged me in a friendly way after he squeezed onto the bench between me and another kid who sat close to me. We all introduced ourselves and exchanged greetings. Every one of us was older than most of the altar boys I knew so I assumed that they all or most of them ended up here via the confessional like I did. But, if that were the case, why Father Flannigan would put a bunch of sexual perverts together was a mystery. I didn't know why buy I was happy that I wasn't put in a class with little kids. I was looking at this as my penance but Robert apparently was not. He continually pushed his butt against mine on the bench and he grabbed at my crotch a few times under the table when he thought no one was looking but he was mistaken. As we were to find out later, a few other boys saw his movements and knew exactly what he was doing. I became aware of the attention we were getting and became embarrassed and tried to move away from him but had nowhere to go. There I was, happy not to be with younger kids but finding Robert's behavior just as embarrassing but I found myself turned on thinking about what we had done together. Most of us were quick learners and were soon serving Mass. Amazingly, I was teamed with Robert and we were together every Sunday and at least twice during the week serving Mass. Since we went to different schools and lived so far from each other, we had little chance of being alone to pick up where we left off. Even though nothing was happening between Robert and me, my self-control was still wanting. Jimmy and I found lots of opportunity to continue with our sexual exploration but seemed to be stuck at mutual masturbation. I was willing to notch things up a bit but Jimmy wasn't quite ready to advance. One day during the summer break Robert and I were assigned to serve a morning funeral Mass. It was a rather large gathering for a funeral. The dead guy must have been a pretty popular person. It was a beautiful mass with a full choir to fill the church with beautiful but mournful song. With the Mass over, Father Gerard, the celebrant, followed the funeral procession to the cemetery and was scheduled to attend the luncheon that followed leaving Robert and me alone to clean up and put everything away before leaving for home. Father Flannigan was on a retreat and we were the only people there except for the old matron lady over in the rectory. We stored the vestments neatly and with reverence in the vestment closet adjacent to the sacristy. Rather than a closet, it was an area cordoned off with an ornate wooden paneled wall with a high ceiling opened to the entire sacristy. It was lined with similarly carved and paneled drawers and cabinets where the vestments and holey vessels were stored. I was just closing the last of the drawers when I felt Robert come up behind me and press himself to my back. Feeling uneasy, I spun around only to have him pressed fully against the front of my body with my eyes looking directly at his Adam's apple since he was significantly taller. He started humping against me with his hips and slid his hands directly to my crotch. I was beginning to spring to attention. I was just beginning to enjoy the feeling of body against body when Robert suddenly dropped to his knees in front of me and unfastened my pants and pulled them down exposing my privates. Reflexively, I tried to cover them with my hands but Robert grabbed each of my wrists and pulled my hands out of the way while he leaned into me and sucked my somewhat limp penis into his mouth. This was a first for me. Even though it was the act of sucking him off that got me here, I had never had anyone do it to me before. I didn't know what I thought of it at first. His tongue felt a little raspy on the head of my cock and the suction was a bit uncomfortable but it only took a few seconds for me to get use to it. The bigger problem was the fear that someone would find us doing this disgusting thing in the holy of holies. I complained to Robert but he assured me that no one else was around and that he locked the door so we could be totally alone. Once I convinced myself that we would not get caught, I settled back and allowed myself this new experience. I began to enjoy the rough texture of his tongue in contrast to the comfortable warmth of his mouth. His fumbling and sporadic movements evolved to rhythmic undulation as he pressed his head down forcing my cock deeper into his mouth and then pulling back until the head of my dick was right behind his teeth wrapped by his lips. The feeling was exhilarating and caused my cock to swell with each downward plunge of his head. He was making all kinds of noises as he slurped and gulped at my dick. I could actually feel the fluid leaking from the head of my hard cock. My balls were pulling tight to my crotch when he pulled off of my cock and licked them and sucked at the skin of my scrotum. My knees started to buckle as I closed my eyes to lose myself in the joy he was giving me. He very slowly licked a path from my balls, along the bottom of my shaft and up to the tip of my dick before plunging down again in resuming the blow job. Robert continued sucking my cock, alternating with licking my balls for many minutes before the pleasure became so intense that I loudly yelled out that I was going to cum. I shut my eyelids tighter as the feeling overtook me and I grunted out my climax. My cock never felt that large as it began to erupt. While I emptied my sperm into his mouth, I was remembering the feeling of his sperm filling my mouth when I was the doer of the deed. I recalled the feel of his sperm hitting my pallet each time I spurted onto his. I lay my head back against the wooden cabinet enjoying the afterglow of the best sex I had until that point in my life. My eyes were still closed and Robert had stopped blowing me having let my cock drop from his mouth but I still heard a rhythmic sound and assumed he was jerking himself off. But, then again, I thought I could feel both of his hands rubbing the back of my thighs and buttocks. I opened my eyes and stared at the top of the wooden partition across from me while trying to discern what I was hearing. It was kind of a wet slapping sound like someone was jacking off. As I brought my head down, I could see a figure silhouetted in the doorway and it only took a fraction of a second to recognize it as Deacon Paul. He was looking straight at me with a big smile on his face and that was very strange for the usually dour Deacon. I detected a slight movement at his shoulder and as I dropped my gaze I could see that he had his dalmatic pulled up to his waist and was stroking his cock. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. He apparently watched us for quite some time. His stole was lying at his feet and he was leaning against the door jamb like he was there for awhile enjoying the sight. Once he noticed that I saw him, he dropped the hem of the garment and walked over until he was standing directly in front of me only a couple of feet away. I was frozen in place with my pants around my ankles and my dick hanging limply between my legs. As embarrassment took hold of me, I could actually feel my dick shrinking as it tried to pull itself inside my body like a turtle would pull in its head. My knees were again quaking but this time from fear. The Deacon made a dismissive motioned with his hand for Robert to move aside and he then took the opportunity to visually examine my genital display unencumbered by Roberts mass. He again smiled and commanded me to kneel at his feet which I clumsily obeyed. It was uncomfortable with the bare skin of my knees crushed under my own weight against the hundred year old unvarnished hardwood floor. I was mortified and didn't know what to do or what would happen. I greatly feared Father Flannigan finding out what Robert and I just did. All kinds of things were spinning through my mind when I finally realized that the Deacon himself was just masturbating while watching what we were doing. I was pretty confident that he wasn't going to tell Father Flannigan anything. I figured, if he did, I would tell the priest what I saw him doing; after all, turnabout is fair play. I still knelt there in silence waiting to see what was going to happen. To my surprise, the Deacon commanded me to fold my hands in prayer and then he turned to Robert and commanded him to do the same. Both of us were kneeling there like the altar boys we were only I was right in front of the man's bulging crotch. Deacon Paul then led us in prayer: "Confiteor Deo omnipotenti, beatæ Mariæ semper Virgini, beato Michaeli Archangelo, beato Ioanni Baptistæ, sanctis Apostolis Petro et Paulo, omnibus Sanctis, et vobis, fratres: quia peccavi nimis cogitatione, verbo et opere: mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa..." As we were praying, he pulled the hem of his dalmatic up until his naked genitals were staring me in the face. I couldn't help but stare since I had never seen a grown man's genitals before and these seemed overly large. His balls hung low in his sack and they looked as big as golf balls only more oval in shape. His penis extended way out away from his crotch in an enormous arc. The tip of it was covered with the same skin as the shaft revealing only the general shape of the head beneath but the very tip peaked out from its cloak of skin covering as if it was trying to come out of hiding. We continued to pray as he tucked the bunched up fabric of his garment under his left hand and grabbed his swelling penis with the other. He began to slowly stroke it only inches from my face. With only a few strokes, it had grown so large that it was touching my cheek. He took a step back so that he could jerk it barely hitting me with it. I was amazed at its size. It looked to be a foot long and was getting longer. Each time he slid his hand to the base of the monster, the massive bulb of the head of his cock would come out of hiding and leak its clear fluid which dripped toward the floor but tenaciously hung onto the massive cock. I had never noticed the texture of the head of an uncircumcised cock before and maybe this one was different from my uncut friends in our circle jerk club. This one shone like it was wet; not really wet but waxy looking. It was much smoother and shiner than the circumcised cocks I know like Jimmy's and Robert's. I was mesmerized by him masturbating. That clear string leaking from him grew longer and longer but wouldn't break. It eventually reached the floor but stayed intact with pulses of new effluent oozing from the tip and sliding down the crystal clear aqueduct to the floor where a small pool was forming. Sometimes the pre-cum conduit would be swept out with the foreskin on his upstroke but would reconnect upon retraction and the flow to the floor would continue. Our prayer completed, we knelt there in silence while the Deacon stroked his penis faster and faster until the first glob of milky white sperm shot out of its tip and headed right for my face. I dared not flinch and absorbed the powerful blow on the bridge of the nose slightly toward my right eye which took the largest amount of the spurt until by sheer volume, it collapsed and flowed down my cheek, over the corner of my mouth and down to and off of the side of my chin. I could feel it drip onto the upright fingers of my hands folded as in prayer at the middle of my chest. Only by reflex did I extend my tongue to lick his semen from the edge of my lips but it was through my own will that I drew a sample of it into my mouth to examine its taste and texture. My mind was awhirl as my senses became overloaded as I tried to compare it to the only standard I had which was Robert's cum. This sample was much more flavorful and thicker on the tongue but it was only a very small specimen. I needed more. I opened my mouth slightly to extend my tongue to collect another sample but was met with a deluge of semen from the Deacon's second massive volley before I could get my tongue beyond my teeth. The leading edge of his sperm wave hit me on the bottom lip and the surge that followed flowed directly into my mouth. I opened up as wide as possible so as not to lose any of the sperm tide but there was too much of it and its stream seemed to follow the movement of the throbbing cock which was bouncing around with the movement of his jerking hand. Once he realized that I my mouth was opened and tongue extended like I was receiving communion, he tried to steady his cock and aim his shots directly into my mouth. I was in a state of ecstasy as my mouth filled with his delicious sperm. My taste buds were alight with its flavor and its thick texture weighed heavily in my mouth. My mouth could hold only one of his massive spurts so I had to swallow as much of the swill as I could with each of his shots. I didn't want to miss any of it by having my lips closed while he was shooting so I swallowed with my mouth open which was very difficult since his fluid was so thick and sticky. I wondered what it looked like from his vantage point as the level of the milky fluid dropped while he was continually trying to fill it. I don't know how many spurts I captured but I do know that after swallowing all of that cum, I felt as full as if I just ate Thanksgiving dinner. Even with all of that swallowing, my face and clothing were all covered with his sperm. I could see Robert in my peripheral vision staring at me with an expression of shock and amazement on his face. I dared not break the spell by turning to him. I concentrated my attention on the massive phallus before me. Finally, I glanced up and made eye contact with the Deacon. I wanted to bring my gaze back down to his cock again but our eyes were locked and I couldn't break his spell. I could hear the material of his robe drop as he brought his hands into my view and folded them for prayer with finger tips touching his chin. I just knelt in place, covered with his ejaculate and my hands similarly folded in reverence. The aroma of his sperm, much less delicate than Roberts or Jimmy's, wafted through my nostrils and began to stimulate my penis to erection. I wondered then what we looked like from Roberts vantage point; me as a supplicant with a hard-on and he now with an air of piety. Oh, how things look differently when you can select the instant of time to make the observation. The smile had melted from the Deacon's face returning it to its normally glum appearance. He stood there in his pure white dalmatic like a holy icon of piety and purity. It was as if he just fed me viaticum rather than drowning me in his cum. He reached out with his right hand making the sigh of the cross over me. My knee-jerk response was to bow my head and mirror the signing of the cross with him and then all three of us said, "In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen." He then lead us in saying the act of contrition: "Deus meus, ex toto corde poenitet me omnium meorum peccatorum, eaque detestor, quia peccando, non solum poenas a Te iuste statutas promeritus sum, sed praesertim quia offendi Te, summum bonum, ac dignum qui super omnia diligaris. Ideo firmiter propono, adiuvante gratia Tua, de cetero me non peccaturum peccandique occasiones proximas fugiturum. Amen. " Knowing that a deacon has no authority in the sacrament of penance, I was surprised at what he said next: "Dominus noster Jesus Christus te absolvat..." He had no ability nor right to absolve me of the sin we had just committed and I had to take all of this new burden back into the confessional if I was to be saved. What would Father Flannigan say to this one?
