"It's not a problem at all, Father Hudgens," Harper says with a warm smile and gathers her things.
It only takes a moment for me to shut everything down and head outside where Harper's waiting by her Jeep and Irene sitting in her car. I'm certain she's waiting to see our exchange, but I won't feed into the gossip mill. Instead, I approach the older woman's window.
"Is everything alright, Irene?" I ask after she rolls down the window.
"Just fine, Father. Waiting for the car to heat up is all. You … uh … Are you and Miss Haven close friends?" she asks.
"Irene, Harper Haven is the love of my life. I'd appreciate your discernment and protect my privacy at this moment. Once I speak with the Archbishop this week, I'll decide how to announce that to the church."
"Oh, are you leaving the parish?" There's concern in her eyes.
"I don't know yet, Irene. I'd advise you against spreading any of this information. I don't want people's perception of Harper or myself to shift too drastically where it hurts her or the congregation."
She nods. "You have my word, Father Hudgens."
"Thank you, Irene," I tell her and walk over to Harper, who's wearing a wicked smile. "Would you like to eat first, baby girl?"
She eyes me from head to toe, licking her lips. "I'd like you to eat me first, Daddy."

HARPER
The expression on Hunter's face makes me want to see how far he's willing to take my request. Fantasies of him opening my door to sit me in my back seat so he could dine on me before we head out to dinner make my pussy water with anticipation.
Hunter leans in close, gripping me by the waist to pull me close to him. He gives me one quick pull before leaning down to whisper in my ear.
"There's nothing stopping me from snatching you out of these jeans and eating that sweet pussy until you come all over my mouth, except…"
"Except?"
He tosses his head back toward the church. "Security cameras. Remember? The last thing either of us needs is a sex tape of a priest and his girl on the security server that belongs to a church."
My heart races and my nipples harden at the idea of someone watching us.
Hunter laughs. "I can see it in your eyes, naughty girl. We'll explore filming ourselves in private before we go public. In the meantime, let's grab something to eat. We can head to my house after."
"Okay, Daddy." I look around and notice my Jeep is the only car in the parking lot. "Did you walk here?"
"I did. I only live down the street. Would you like to see my place? We can order from somewhere to eat if you want to stay in," he says, the corner of his mouth turning up with a half-cocked grin.
There isn't a second thought. Of course, I want to see where he lives. Hunter slides into the passenger seat, and we head to his house about three long blocks away from the church. It's simple enough with its cedar siding and black shingled roof.
The inside is cozy, and the floors practically match the same honey-brown hews of the house's exterior. Hunter leads me through the first floor, with a kitchen lining the back wall. There are pale yellow subway tiles, and the place just feels dated.
I look around, unable to stop my mouth from moving. "It's so brown."
Hunter chuckles. "Yeah, it's a perk of being a priest. I never wanted to change anything. I guess in the back of my mind, it's always been just a place to stay while I serve the parish. It's never been home."
"It can definitely use a woman's touch around here."
Hunter wraps his arms around my waist from behind. "I want to touch you around here."
One of his hands slide lower, stroking between my thighs and rubbing my pussy through my jeans. A moan escapes my lips, but my stomach growls with unexpected hunger.
"Let's get you fed first," Hunter says. He takes a step away from me and opens a door to pull out an assortment of take-out menus. "What would you like, baby girl?"
I shrug. "I'm fine with anything, really. What's still open? It's getting kind of late, and a lot of these places don't deliver after 8."
"You're right. What time is it?"
I pat myself down and realize I did it again. "Shit. My phone's in your office. I think I left it on the couch."
"Now that I think about it, we can head back, grab your phone and the files so we can keep working. I have a meeting with the Archbishop this week, and I'd like to have an idea of exactly what's going on so I can voice my concerns."
"Are you going to tell him about us?" I ask. What if the Archbishop tells him he has to stay single as a priest? I know Hunter says he'll give it up for me, but he's an empowering man that the church members enjoy having as their leader. I don't want to take him away from the church.
