Sunny

“Hey, Sunny,” Gary Caruthers, youth minister of the Arcadia Baptists Church, said, waving as well to gain the girl’s attention.

“Hey, Pastor Gary,” the freckle-faced girl beamed, her soft face framed by wheat-colored braids. “Do you need something?”

“I thought we might talk for a minute, if that’s okay.”

“Sure.” A shrug accompanied her answer, and he felt his pulse quicken as he watched the bounce of her firm, young breasts, which were emphasized by the slightly too snug bodice of her dress.

“Let’s go to my office.” His tone somehow remained friendly and innocent despite the increasingly lascivious thoughts coursing through his mind.

“Okay. But I’ll miss the sermon. Mom will be pissed… I mean mad… if I miss it.”

“I’ll tell her you were helping me.”

“She might still be pi… mad.”

“I’ll tell her we prayed together about the temptation to sin that surrounds our youth today.”

“Oh, she’ll like that. She’s always bitching… um… talking about how all my friends are sluts and sinners.”

Pastor Gary nodded, wondering if the definition fit Sunny as much as it did her friends. Afraid his voice might betray his true thoughts, the man gestured for the girl to proceed him through the door that led to the church offices. She favored him with a shining grin before bouncing ahead of him, her rounded derriere obvious under the dress.

Thank you, Lord, for making this luscious, young angel and seeing fit to allow her mother to let her continue to wear last year’s Sunday best, despite the blossoming of her adolescence.

“Have a seat,” he told Sunny once they reached his office, and he was thankful that he had his satchel with him, as he slid it in front of his groin to hide the erection that would have been obvious to anyone who looked at his crotch. He was even more thankful after he sank into his chair, as the desk between them hid his condition. It also allowed the man to slowly unzip his pants and pull out his now achingly hard penis.

“So, what do you want to talk about, Pastor Gary?”

“Temptation to sin, Sunny,” he said, his voice huskier than normal in his ears.

“Oh…. Mom talks to me about that all the fu… um… all the time. But I tell her I’m not sinning, not really. I mean, I’ve kissed a couple of boys, and my friend Jayden and I made out hard at her house a couple of weeks ago, but that’s all. I’ve never touched a di… a guy’s thingie. I did touch Jayden’s boobs, but only through her shirt. And hers aren’t as big as mine, so there wasn’t that much to feel. She got the better end of that.”

“I’m not talking about your temptation, Sunny. I’m talking about the temptation to sin that men feel when they are around young women such as yourself.”

“You mean like when the manager over at Wagner’s keeps looking at me like I’m ice cream and then asks if I want a job at the store?”

“Yeah, things like that.”

“Mom tells me that men can’t help it, and I should just ignore them.”

“Men often cannot help themselves, that is true, but ignoring their plight… their need… is not what God would want you to do.”

“It’s not?”

“No. You see, God made young women like you to please men, to receive a man’s lust and need. Of course, it’s a sin for men or women to give into that lust until they are married, at least it is if they fully give in.”

“You mean have sex?”

“Yes. Well, I mean intercourse. You know what that is right?”

“Yeah, they taught us in health class. It’s when a guy sticks his… thing into a girl’s pus… um… vagina. A girl can get pregnant that way if she’s not careful.”

“That’s right,” Gary said, nodding and smiling. Sunny was not exactly stupid, not really. But she did tend to boil everything down to its simplest essence. That was one of the reasons he had chosen her. Of course, the main reason was her body, which was right at the most enticing point between girlhood and womanhood, where her newly blossomed curves warred with lingering slenderness. “It’s also forbidden before marriage, because it is the way we make a new life, just like the Lord made life with Adam and Eve. It is a sacred act, one that is to be between man and his wife.”

“Oh… I didn’t think about all that.”

“But what some people do not realize, including many Christians, is that God does not forbid all carnal pleasure before marriage, just those acts that echo divine creation.”

“I… I guess that makes sense,” Sunny said, her light blue eyes scrunched up with effort as she tried to understand.
