The Bishop's visit
.
It was about a month later that Sister Agnes and Sister Megan told me with great excitement that the Bishop was due to visit the nunnery and he had specifically asked to see me. This news confused me but due to the way it was communicated I felt I should feel very happy. Why would the Bishop want to see me? I asked the two nuns who said he often took an interest in any of the novices particularly if they had experienced certain reactions to the exorcising of the Devil. They had informed him that I had reacted extremely well to their treatment and he was keen to see it first hand. They also said in cases where the novices had experienced repeated possession by the Devil he had developed his own treatment. This did not explain anything to me at the time but I knew not to argue.
The evening that the Bishop visited the nunnery half a dozen of us girls were invited to eat with the senior nuns and the Bishop. I was the only one of the novices who slept in the dormitory with the younger girls. I felt very privileged. The Bishop seemed very old to me. He was no taller than most of the nuns with a belly that no amount of clothing could have hidden. He was generally of a stern disposition. Everyone drunk some fruity looking liquid that tasted bitter and not to my taste at all. It was made quite clear that whether I liked it or not I should drink it. When the meal was finished the other girls were escorted out and slowly nuns left the room leaving only Sister Agnes, Sister Megan and the Bishop.
The Bishop turned his chair away from the big table and asked me to come and stand in front of him. He then told me that he had been told that my reaction to the exorcism was nothing short of spectacular. He asked me if I had felt cleansed and spiritually uplifted by the experience. I told him that while being extremely painful it had been the most wonderful religious experience of my life. I was surprised and a little hurt when he seemed to be laughing at that.
"The sisters' tell me that they are greatly concerned that they may not have been able to fully rid you of your troubles. They asked me if I would consider spending some time with you and help you overcome your demons. I am a very busy man but if you would like me to I could spare you some time this evening. Would you like that?"
I did feel very honored but was not sure I wanted to spend any more time with the Bishop than I needed to. He made me feel uncomfortable, not just because he was a man but he looked at me in a strange way. None of that mattered, what I had to reply was clear to me. The only question was could I make it sound sincere?
"Oh that would be so kind of you Bishop. I am sure I am not worthy of your time you must have so many much more important things to do than spend time with me. Thank you for even considering me."
"Nonsense my dear girl. As long as I am doing God's work it is time well spent. Now take off your habit."
I looked towards the two nuns before realizing that I would get no support from them. They had spent the whole dinner doing everything they could to please this powerful representative of God. I slipped the habit off trying to disclose as little of my body as possible. I then put one arm across my chest (I had never been allowed to wear a bra) and the other covering my crotch. His next comment seemed to fly in the face of everything the nuns had ever taught us about our bodies.
"Please uncover yourself and show me the joy that is the body that God blessed you with."
Confused I did what he said. Standing covered only by a pair of knickers, in front of a man, even if he was a Bishop, felt so very wrong.
"Please remove your underwear my dear."
It felt even more wrong when even this last small security was removed.
"Oh you were so right Sisters. God made this girl a vision of perfection. What a terrible curse this will be for her all her life. It is no surprise that the Devil would seek to pervert such a vision of beauty for his evil ways. We must use all our powers to help this helpless child to stay away from temptation. Does the Devil visit you at night child?"
At the time I had no idea what he was alluding to. If I had known I would have been able to say no but instead I stood them completely dumb. After a short pause he patted his thighs and said
"Never mind I think that we need to start your treatment over my knee. I find that a good spanking with the hand makes the girls understand what is expected of them, don't you Sister Agnes?"
"Yes Bishop this girl responds very well once her bottom has been warmed up."
When I was settled across the Bishop's lap I could feel his stomach when he moved. His hand started to caress my bottom. For some reason I now wanted the spanking and the pain to begin. He took his time before he landed the first spank without warning. It was hard and seemed to echo as I registered the pain. He spanked me hard, more than a dozen times, with no time to recover between each strike. It hurt but it was a pain that I welcomed. My bottom was hot, a heat that had already spread between my legs. If necessary I would have begged to be spanked more, much more by this man of God. I wanted more heat more pain.
He stopped and I pushed my bottom up towards his hand as he caressed the spanked area. He did not limit the caressing to my bottom as his hand slipped between my legs. I felt euphoric as his hand played with me.
"You couldn't be more right Sister Agnes. Her response to having her beautiful bottom warmed up is quite extraordinary. The Devil has clearly not been banished from her perfect body. I think her reaction to his evil will be hard to counter but I am certainly ready to start the fight."
