"Monsignor, may I introduce you to Sister Seraphina." The Monsignor's first impression of the person in a habit identical to Brother Joachim's was of a monk, but as she rose from behind a table he realised that he was facing an unusually dressed nun. "Sister Seraphina is our Superior here. I act as her deputy in such matters as receiving male guests." The Monsignor noticed the young nun in her normal habit standing inconspicuously behind Sister Seraphina, who said " I myself was greeting our new Sister Anna Dolores." She nodded towards the nun without introducing her. "Our breakfast is set on the trays on the small table. We will leave the larger table and this tray for Brother Joachim and our new sister. You are already a little shocked, I fear, by the habit that we Sisters wear here. It is a minor precaution against outsiders being scandalised by accidental glimpses of the normal habits of two different sexes. You will be further disquieted, but I must witness the proper welcoming of our new sister." She sat down in the chair placed to look towards the larger table. The Monsignor took the other, which was placed with his shoulder towards the larger table.
"Tea or coffee?" said Sister Seraphina. "Coffee, please. I give it up for Lent, but not easily." He realised that Brother Joachim had sat on a bench beside the young nun and was urging her to eat with words about Brother cook's disappointment if she did not make a good meal.
As the Monsignor ate in companionable silence with Sister Seraphina, he was aware that she was watching the others. However as she turned from them to pour him a third cup of coffee, he heard a gasp from the sister with Brother Joachim. He could not believe his eyes when he saw that her breasts were now bare and Brother Joachim's mouth was applied to the breast farthest from him. He looked away instantly to Sister Seraphina. " I hope that first real shock is the worst you will feel here today. When this House was founded for religious who had both a vocation which every test showed was genuine, but who could not deny themselves to others who were in need of their bodies, we had to work out a rule. One part of it recognises that any new member of our community will be in severe need of physical comforting. That is what Brother Joachim is now doing. I must witness it as the senior here of our new Sister's Sisters; no act of serving other members of our community is ever done here without witnesses. Exclusive feelings between Brothers and Sisters would destroy our community." She ate her second and last piece of toast watching the other pair with a smile on her face.
The Monsignor heard the sounds get quickly louder and more intense. Suddenly they gained a new quality, and he realised that he was probably listening to a female orgasm. Or perhaps more than one; it seemed to go on and on. The groaning male cry must be from Brother Joachim. " It is delightful that you and Brother Joachim gave each other so much at your first welcome here, Sister Anna Dolores. Now we have five minutes to prepare for chapel." The Monsignor found himself left with Brother Joachim. They did not speak until after the service. Then as they went in to the hall where the community's breakfast was laid the Monsignor said "I tried to imagine your state of mind as we went to worship, but my imagination failed utterly."
"Primarily, relief and thankfulness. I had prepared for the welcoming of Sister Anna Dolores with much prayer and all the care of which I am capable. Relief and gratitude for what I received yes, but that is a very minor part of the whole. Had she not responded and let her body rejoice, all would have turned to ashes and I would have been working out bitter regrets in penitence for failing her. Now I can rejoice with our whole community that she has truly come to the home she will share until death."
They listened to the grace before the meal. The Monsignor realised when they raised their faces that the majority of the community were men. He counted eleven female faces including Sister Seraphina; and seventeen men. As a brother stepped towards the reading desk, Sister Seraphina rose and held up her hand for attention. " I must speak to you about two matters. The Monsignor is our visitor today. He is charged with putting a proposition to us. He will do so at a special chapter we will hold this evening. Until then he has asked that he may observe the normal life of our community. The whole life of the community will therefore continue until evening as though he was not present for everyone except Brother Joachim and me. It is seventeen years since we have had a visitor within these walls, but you will remember from reading our rule that only Brother Joachim and I may speak with our visitor."
"The second matter is one for rejoicing. Our new Sister Anna Dolores is being welcomed into our community today." She gestured to the young nun to stand at the right hand end of the top table. "Each of us who has not already given her the kiss of welcome will do so now. She has already breakfasted. Brother Stephen, it is for you to kiss her first before you commence your reading of the rule to us." The young brother turned form the reading desk and with a radiant smile strode to Sister Anna Dolores and took her in his arms. As they kissed their tongues entwined and their hands moved over each others' bodies though without disturbing either of the monkish habits which they both now wore. In less than a minute Brother Stephen stepped to the reading desk and began today's passage from the rule. Sister Seraphina nodded to the first of the brothers on her right. Throughout the meal while the others gave attention to seeing that everyone was silently offered all that he or she might need, and to the reading, the succession of the passionate kisses of Sister Anna Dolores continued. The Monsignor suddenly realised that it was the Sisters now who were kissing her with much the same physical heat.
The meal ended with a brief prayer of thanksgiving. "Now we go to labour," said Brother Joachim; "and I must leave you while I confirm some of our commercial arrangements and check out a shipment of what we have produced."
"Brother Joachim's dealings with those who supply us and buy from us are greatly eased by his fax machines, but since we acquired these devices his dealings move to a sharper tempo and a stricter timetable. He has less labour but is also less master of his time." The Monsignor realised that Sister Seraphina was gently teasing Brother Joachim. "First, Monsignor, you must see our printing workshop." she added.
The Monsignor found that he lost himself in the quality and techniques of the print shop. Two manual presses were producing exquisite type set pages, The work coming from a large and elaborate laser printer served by two brothers was also startlingly clear and elegant. Nevertheless, they spent a further hour adjusting the colour balances to degrees which were imperceptible to the Monsignor until he finally saw the finished product they were content with. They set the machine for a long run and started it as the service bell rang. Sister Seraphina broke off her surprisingly technical commentary. " On the way to service, I am going to give you a substantial glass of brandy, Monsignor. After service, we proceed to caritas, and the brandy will have buffered your perceptions by then." The brandy was very good. He drank it obediently, not stopping to savour it as he would have liked.
From the chapel. the community processed to what the Monsignor realised was a windowless cellar under the dining hall. The room was welcoming with subdued lighting. The furniture was plain but nearly all upholstered. Much of it was what looked to be wide benches. A clear and fervent grace was said in chorus by the whole community, giving thanks for what they might be able to give. The Monsignor was given a comfortable seat in a niche with Sister Seraphina and Brother Joachim on either side of him. As he looked out he saw that the sisters were going up to the brothers. "Strictly, this is Sisters' caritas. Attendance is an obligation on the sisters but not on the brothers. The reverse is the case at evening caritas. Now it is our sisters who are ensuring that any carnal needs which they can meet are met." As Sister Seraphina spoke, the nuns and monks had started to remove each others' habits and under garments, folding and stacking them scrupulously on the tables that were conveniently at hand. Once they were naked, their embraces were fervent.
The Monsignor saw Sister Anna Dolores smiling radiantly as two brothers that she had approached picked her up and carried her to one of the broad padded benches. As they laid her down upon it, she drew one of their penises gracefully towards her mouth.
As he realised that there were ten other intensely sexual groups coming together before his eyes, the Monsignor gave brief thanks for the brandy. There were two normal couples close in front of him. In one an older monk was sliding his body and his penis into the missionary position between the spread legs of a younger sister. In the other, a sister who looked a well preserved sixty was riding a very well endowed thirtyish brother. Just beyond were two brothers who smiled at each other in quick flashes as each gave his mouth to ministering to the others penis, Also fairly close by was another threesome. An older brother with a fat short cock was lying back as a middle aged sister licked and sucked, in turn waving and weaving her behind as a brother kissed and licked her whole genital area. As his eye travelled further up the room. The Monsignor realised that the count of the genders he had made at breakfast should have lead him to expect threesomes. There were three more. One in doggy fashion with the sister apparently oblivious of everything, even of the cock in her cunt, as she salivated over the one in her mouth. Another featured a sister in missionary position guiding the small penis of a fat brother in to the rear of the slimmer young man who was fucking her. The third was clearly rapidly turning into a sandwich with the sister as piggy in the middle. The first wave of collective sex was building and building very rapidly. They all held the sexual high for nearly twenty minutes with only the sisters orgasming. As the brothers excitement got beyond their capacity to for restraint, the wave broke in the sounds of ejaculation all across the room.
