Dark Confessions
I bit my bottom lip, not even sure when my mouth opened, breath shaky as I whispered,
“I–I will do it, Father. As long as you forgive me… I will.”
Silence. He didn’t reply, but I could feel him waiting on the other side, waiting for me to touch myself in the confessional booth of a church.
Seconds stretched. I inhaled a deep, trembling breath and steadied myself. Then slowly, hesitantly, I opened my legs. My pulse hammered in my ears, heat pooling low in my stomach, and even before I touched myself, I could feel it throbbing, aching as if it was waiting for what I was about to do.
