Author's note: I am new as an author on this site, but have been an avid reader here for many years. One of my primary interests in erotica involves conservative, religious persons who are seduced in a compromising situation. If this is offensive to you, rather than just giving me a one star and not reading the story, please just move on to something that is more to your taste. I may eventually move onto other areas of interest for stories.
My background is that I was one of Jehovah's Witnesses for 28 years. I served as an elder and presiding overseer in two congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses for over 15 years before leaving the religion. During that time I became aware of a number of incidents involving sexual activity forbidden by the cult by people whom I knew personally. Of course I will not use those stories or their names as the basis for any story I write, but they surely serve as inspiration to my active imagination.
I appreciate and encourage comments, even critical ones, as long as they are respectful and the criticism is constructive. Even direct comments to me via this site to my email address are most welcome. I hope this is your cup of tea, as a high score for this story will surely motivate me to continue, first of all with a sequel to this, my first story.
This story is about a middle-age religious woman in a failing marriage, the two divided by her religion. In her door-to-door ministry, she encounters an older man who is a widower and who awakens her sexual desires, though she is very reluctant to accept his advances at first. This is a story of seduction overcoming reluctance and the submissive nature of this wife, based on her religious training, as she gives in to a dominant, but understanding man 20 years her senior.
Background
Kathleen Miller was raised by religiously conservative parents. She was married at 23. She and her husband, Steven, had one daughter who was now away at college. Kathleen was now 45. She was in good shape for her age as she kept up with a regular exercise routine and a good diet. She was not spectacularly beautiful, but was very cute with sparkling eyes, a captivating smile and a figure which was still shapely and alluring. She stood at five feet four inches and 130 pounds. She wore her auburn hair long and used minimal makeup. Steven was just the opposite. He never exercised, drank a lot and watched plenty of TV. His gut showed his disinterest in physical fitness.
Soon after they were married, Kathleen, through a friend became acquainted with the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses. They offered her a free Bible study and she accepted. About six months later she became baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Steven was not interested in religion at all and was more than a little displeased with his wife's decision. The religion established rules that even intruded into the privacy of the bedroom of married couples. For example, even within marriage, oral sex was prohibited by the church. Any member engaging in oral sex, even though married to the person, could be subject to excommunication from the religion.
To Steven, the taboo on oral sex was unacceptable. Due to her earlier conservative religious upbringing, and especially now, with her newfound religion, he had never enjoyed oral sex with his wife. From time to time he would try to coerce his wife to take his penis into her mouth, but she steadfastly refused to violate her religion's rules. This created a bit of a conundrum for her as the Bible also taught that women are to be subject, or submissive, to men, especially their husbands and the older men in the congregation.
"the head of every man is the Christ; in turn, the head of a woman is the man"
"For a man . . . is God's image and glory, but the woman is man's glory."
"And what is more, man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of man." (1 Corinthians 11:3-9)
At times Steven would become angry, yelling at her. There was even one occasion when he had too much to drink, that he slapped her in the face and cursed her. As a consequence, their sex life had deteriorated to almost nothing as each became less and less attracted to the other.
One of the primary activities of her newfound religion was going from door to door in neighborhoods they were assigned, offering their magazines and free home Bible studies to the people they met. As a member of the religion, Kathleen always dressed very modestly with her dresses worn well below her knees and never anything low-cut. She had made a good friend in her congregation, Judith Rogers, and they would often go out in their door-to-door ministry together. Judith was younger than Kathleen at 34, had short black hair, stood at five feet six inches and was very slender at 115 pounds. Like Kathleen, her appearance was certainly not that of a ravishing movie star, but very cute and attractive in her own way and with a great sense of humor.

It was July and the weather was unusually hot, averaging 96° outside with high humidity. Judith called Kathleen and asked if she wanted to go out the following morning to engage in their door-to-door ministry. Kathleen agreed and they would meet at nine the next morning.
As they walked from house to house, finding most homes unoccupied as it was a workday, they were sweltering in the heat. Kathleen remarked to Judith, "The perspiration is just rolling down my back! When I get home I'll have to
peel
my underwear off!" Judith laughed and said she was in the same state. She felt wet all over.
As they approached a small house with a well-kept yard, it was Kathleen's turn to knock on the door and initiate the conversation. Kathleen was a bit shy compared to Judith, who tended to be a bit assertive at times.

Burt Pickering was a large man, 65 years of age, six feet and two inches tall and 210 pounds. He was a handsome man, with ruddy good looks and appeared about 10 years younger than his actual age. Being retired, he often went to bed late and got up late. His wife had died two years earlier so he lived alone.
Accustomed to sleeping naked, he had been up in bed reading some erotica in
Penthouse Letters
as he casually began to pleasure himself. When he heard the knock at the door he thought, "Who the hell can that be early on a Tuesday morning?" He jumped out of bed, straightened his graying hair and threw on a mid-thigh length white terrycloth robe. He wore nothing underneath. He had a few days worth of beard stubble.
Burt opened the door and seeing the two very cute, but very modestly dressed women on his front porch said, "Good morning ladies! What are you doing out on such a terribly hot morning?"
Kathleen and Judith immediately noticed how good-looking this big man was in kind of a "mountain man" sort of way. He had piercing blue eyes and a kindly, friendly smile. He had a very male-dominant posture, both in his physical appearance and in his loud tone.
Kathleen:
"I'm Mrs. Miller and this is Mrs. Rogers. We're Jehovah's Witnesses and we are offering the latest issues of our magazines,
The Watchtower
and
Awake!
"
All Burt could think was, how long it had been since he had had any female company, and he found these two women very attractive. He fantasized. Maybe this could turn into a story for
Penthouse Letters
! His penis twitched slightly under his robe. So, he decided to play along and feign interest in their message. Not having been with a woman in over two years, he would have been more than ready to bed either one of them. Hey, why not both?
Burt:
"Oh yes! I've read them before. They have some good articles. I'll take them!"
As he observed these two lovely women, their dresses darkened in spots with perspiration, beads of sweat rolling down their cheeks, he wasn't anxious to see them leave right away. He was so lonely for female company.
Kathleen:
"Here you are. We are also offering free home Bible studies. Would you have an interest in studying the Bible?"
Burt:
"Well, that sounds interesting. Would you like to come in for a few minutes to tell me about it? I don't have air conditioning, but I have a few fans running and surely you won't turn down a big glass of iced tea!"
Kathleen, noticing he was only wearing a bathrobe said, "It doesn't look like you're expecting company." Then she looked at Judith to see what she thought.
Judith:
"I'd love some iced tea! Yes, we accept!"
Burt:
"No, Mrs. Miller. I'm not expecting company but your visit today may be the answer to a prayer. My wife died a few years ago and I have thought about learning more about the Bible since she's been gone. I've actually prayed for someone to comfort me. Maybe you ladies are the answer to my prayer."
He really poured it on thick. The hook was set. Of course his latter comments were completely untrue, but he wanted these women to feel they were led to him by divine providence, and be highly motivated to make a new convert. He held the door open for them and showed them to the sofa. "Please. Have a seat."
Burt:
"Pardon all the blinds and drapes being drawn. I'm doing everything I can to keep the sun out and keep it cool in here. Let me move this fan over here so you'll feel the breeze and I'll turn on a few lamps."
Kathleen and Judith noticed that the home was very clean and tidy but also just a bit dark as little sunlight made it through the shades and blinds. They sat down on the sofa as Burt went to fix their drinks.
He came back into the living room and put their drinks down on the coffee table, then sat across from them on a loveseat. Kathleen and Judith were both dabbing their faces with hanker chiefs. As he sat down, both of the women noticed his bathrobe which was already very short, moved several inches further up his thigh. Their eyes were momentarily drawn to the darkness between his legs, hoping he was wearing underwear. But they couldn't see well enough to tell.
Kathleen:
"Is it alright to ask your name, sir?"
Burt:
"Yes. My name is Burt. Burt Pickering. But you can call me Burt."
Meanwhile, Burt was giving them both a good looking over. They were both very cute. Kathleen had crossed her legs, bringing the hem of her dress a bit above her knee. What he could see of their legs showed they were nicely shaped. He glanced down at their feet. They were both wearing sandals. They had very pretty feet and toes, nicely pedicured and with painted nails. They noticed his gaze lingering at their feet for a few uncomfortable moments.
