Confession X Novels & Stories

“I brought you back to save you from the world’s corruption, not to watch you throw yourself into it.” We broke up with no agreement. His words hung in the air like smoke, fogging my mind as I went about my work. I heard confessions that morning, offering absolution to sins that seemed trivial compared to the ones we committed in the tunnels. A lay employee confessed to theft. A beginner confessed to unclean thoughts. I said the usual words, but my mind was elsewhere. On Caterina’s soft gasps in the dark. On the chained book that contained centuries of deception.

Then, a voice—deep, steady, with the kind of authority that scraped down my spine. “Bless me, Father, for I have sinned,” I whispered. “How long since your last confession?” he asked. I smiled to myself. That voice. It didn’t sound bored. It didn’t sound old. It sounded young. Strong. Like it still believed in rules. That made it better. “A few minutes,” I said softly. “Depending on your definition of sin.” He paused. “What are you here to confess?” “That I think about fucking during Mass,” I said. “A lot.”

Before she could verbalize that, however, Zivon replied, “Confessions can take many forms. From blatant, to romantic, to even suggestive… In the case of Xav and I, we kissed after my first confession, and I forbade her to call me Brother-in-law anymore… That wasn’t the only time though. The next time I did it, I gave her several reasons to break up with Stefan, and I even made her ponder who I really was to her…” His response caught Xavia off guard. He considered those to be confessions?! Though she wanted to say something, Zivon quickly added, “Alas, she’s never been the brightest, which is why I had to try several more times before she finally realized the truth…” “…What the hell are you e

The question landed like a gauntlet thrown, her eyes searching for truth—or the absence of it. His heart pounded a brutal rhythm against his ribcage, each beat like a hammer strike against the walls he had built around himself. This was the moment of reckoning—the inevitable crash after a free fall of deceit. Xavier's confession lingered in the humid air—a toxic vapor that clung to every surface of the bathroom. "I am," he admitted, his voice a mere whisper against the torrent of emotions that engulfed them.

I pumped my fingers in and out of myself, my hips rolling off the hard bench. "It feels so good, Father Edmund," I gasped out, panting as I kept my eyes locked on his shadow through the screen. "I’m fingering myself right in front of you. Come on, tell me I'm going to hell. Tell me I'm a sinner while you listen to me fuck myself like a dirty little whore I am." The booth rattled violently, making me jump. A loud bang echoed through the small space as he slammed his door shut, leaving the confession booth.

She let the weight of his confession fill the room before she spoke again, her voice careful. “So… she was your girlfriend?” Xavier’s gaze fell to his hands. He balled them into fists, his knuckles turning white. “No,” he said, the word barely audible. “It was just one night. That’s all.” The silence stretched between them, heavy and suffocating. Calla leaned back, her expression unreadable. She could see the storm of regret and confusion swirling inside him, emotions he didn’t know how to put into words. After what felt like forever, Xavier sighed heavily.

she said. I hesitated. “We?” The word was a promise that tasted of iron and salt. I smiled. “We.” And for the first time in months, my chest didn’t ache with memory or maps of betrayal. Instead, I felt its opposite: that blazing potential of partnership. I moved forward, unzipped my jacket. Cassian tensed only half-protective. He knew me too well. Knew even danger had changed me. Inside was a folder. Top sheet: “CONFESSION: ARIA QUINN & CASSIAN VALE”. The camera inside captured every moment. A confession. Not a comeback but a reckoning.

A groan muffled into his fist, maybe, but it was enough to make me tremble. “You’re learning,” he said after a pause, voice roughened. “Confession isn’t about forgiveness. It’s about truth.” I bit my lip until I tasted iron. “Then what truth do you want?” “All of it. Every filthy piece. And when you run out of words—” The hush of his shift pressed closer to the lattice, heat radiating through it. “—I’ll make you confess with your body again.” The hunger in his promise left me weak, trembling on the edge of a prayer and a moan.

Although I was hidden, I knew he would recognise my voice straight away. "Bless me, Father," I whispered nervously, "It has been eight months since my last confession." He spoke from the bible and made the sign of the cross before continuing. "What would you like to confess, my child?" He asked. Oh god, please forgive me. "I have been indulgent in... lust." I admitted. I was expecting a gasp or some judgement, but honestly, I had no idea what other people spoke of in these confessions. "Do not be afraid," Father Daniels spoke. "This is a safe place. It is just you, me and God."
