Michael, the Vicar of St. Clement and All Souls, finished his sermon using the text with which he had begun, "The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the treacherous are taken captive by their lust." He announced the final hymn after which he pronounced the benediction, and the congregation began to move out of the church to have their hands shaken by Michael.
Thirty two years of age, tall, darkly handsome in a slightly austere manner, he was the darling of the female members of his congregation, and an object of envy by the few males that attended his services.
Many a worthy middle-aged matron departed Michael's services with an uncomfortable wet patch at the top of their inner thighs, to return home to their dull and paunchy husband.
A few years ago one of the newspapers had printed a piece of research purporting to show by profession how sexually active men were. At the top of the list were the clergy, said to be the most sexually active of all. This piece of alleged research had been widely read and talked about, and with the arrival of unmarried Michael in their parish, there were many hopeful women, hopeful, if not for themselves, then for unmarried daughters.
Yet Michael seemed impervious to their assaults on his bachelorhood. One lady of middle years, yet of undeniable physical attractions, had even entertained him during a pastoral visit wearing only a minuscule bikini, but even this seemed to leave Michael unmoved. There was not the slightest sign of an erection in the vicar's groin.

Standing beside Michael as he shook hands and made appropriate comments was his sister, Hester. Not that anyone called her Hester without the title "Miss" preceding it.
Hester, two year older than Michael, had certain physical characteristics in common with him; she was tall, although not as tall as Michael; she had the same near black hair and blue eyes, but from the congregation's point of view, there the likeness stopped.
Reluctantly it was admitted that she had reasonable facial features; an oval face devoid of all makeup with a broad brow, her nose tending to the aquiline and her lips, devoid of lipstick might have been sensual if they were not pressed into such a stern line, and her hair was scraped back into a severe bun. Perched on her nose was a pair of horn rimmed glasses.
Some of the criticism was reserved for her manner of dress; "My dear, what an awful frump she is, did you see that dreadful dress she was wearing this morning," could be frequently heard, and it was true, she dressed as if to make herself look as unattractive as possible.
If it was true that for many women in the congregation Michael would be welcome to occupy their bed any time, the same could not be said of the men in relation to Miss Hester.
If Michael was the handsome, eloquent darling of at least the females in his congregation, Miss Hester was, it has to be said, generally disliked.
Hester served as Michael's housekeeper and cook, and as the hand shaking members of the congregation gradually went their way, she muttered something about getting lunch ready, and went with firm tread towards the vicarage.
Michael lingered on for a while chatting with a group of admiring women who were reluctant to leave his company. Finally even they departed but some would return again for evensong to once more bask in Michael's presence.

Michael made his way to the vicarage, but on entering he did go to the dining room or kitchen, but went up stairs. He opened the door and went into what was obviously a bedroom with a large luxurious bed. Sitting on it was Hester.
As Michael approached her she rose and went to him, and putting her arms round his neck she said, "I knew you'd want the usual relaxation after service darling."
She kissed him and for a few moments they clung close, and then removing her glasses she said, "Undress me darling."
Michael pulled down the zip at the back of her shapeless, sack-like dress, and removed it to reveal a transformed Hester. What her dress had concealed was her pointed nipples, upturned breasts, a slim waist, seductively curved hips and long shapely legs.
She unfastened the bun at the back of her head and shook out her hair and it flowed over her shoulders like a dark cloud.
Michael removed her panties β her only underwear β to reveal a firmly indented vulva, devoid of pubic hair, its lips already swollen with desire.
Hester helped Michel remove his cassock and underneath, like Hester, he was naked apart from his underpants and a curious leather pouch under them. This pouch had some resemblance to the codpiece worn by men in the middle ages that served to enhance their penis size, but this pouch, made of soft leather sought to produce the opposite result.
It was long and had a throng that was tied behind his back. Hester untied the thong and removed the pouch, and now unrestrained, Michael's massive penis stood up.
Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate must be left for others to judge, but conducting the act of worship always gave Michael an erection, and without some other means of concealing, even his cassock could not have hidden it.
