Overview
Summary
Stuck at coffee hour with Nonna and her friends, Lauren grows impatient waiting for Junior, who has been gone for over an hour. Junior's phone rings in her purse, and to her shock, the caller ID shows her own number—he's somehow unlocked her phone. He tells her to come find him and hangs up, infuriating her further.
Searching the church, Lauren is yanked into a confessional booth by Junior. He apologizes for losing his temper and for how his earlier questions about her work came across, insisting he'd never try to trap her. He stands by his decision to subdue the drunk man. Lauren accepts his apology, then presses him about the tracker and his decade-long stalking. He promises to tell her everything—just not there.
Their conversation is cut short when men, including the priest, enter the nave to chat about baseball. Junior holds Lauren silent, but the proximity, danger of discovery, and her submissive nature ignite intense arousal. Despite her unresolved anger, they have silent, illicit sex in the confessional, with Junior holding still inside her while stroking her to a powerful, near-silent orgasm before pulling out to finish on her thighs.
As they recover and start kissing, Moira and Nico Senior arrive, tracking Junior via GPS. Lauren and Junior quickly swap their phones back. Junior slips out, smoothly claiming he was napping, and the priest covers for him. Lauren cleans up with her ruined underwear and waits for the men to leave.
When Lauren finally exits the booth, Nonna is waiting in the pew, grinning knowingly. Lauren tries to feign innocence, but Nonna points out the handprint visible on her neck.
