6.
Rather than sit back on her heels Ella kneels up, tall, her hips above her knees and her forearms resting on the book rail at the back of the pew in front.
Pp looks at her for a few moments, appraising her posture, quietly pleased at how the young woman holds herself.
She turns to him and begins, "See, I told y...." But he raises his finger to her chin and turns her head to face the front. "Shhhh Ella. Yes, quite good but can I make some small corrections?"
Without waiting for a reply her touches her arm and, with a little pressure, directs Ella to move them closer to her chest, away from the book rail.
A touch at her shoulder and a quiet but firm voice, "shoulders back please," and Ella squares her shoulders just a little straighter.
Then his hand slides down her back and Ella feels his palm cup her bottom. Pp feels the muscles tense at his touch. He runs it over the curve to where the buttock meets thigh, his fingertips following the furrow that bisects her arse. Again a little pressure upwards, a little pressure forwards and she feels herself kneeling a little more erect, a little straighter.
"Ella? No, don't look at me. Face forwards." Then, in his quiet but firm voice, "I would like you to cross your wrists behind your back." It is a direction, not a request and Ella obeys, lowering her clasped hands, reaching behind, and crossing her wrists one over the other.
Ella senses him slide behind her on the seat and feels his arms either side of her ribs as his hands open her blazer. She stiffens as he cups her breasts. "Look down Ella. No, just with your eyes. See how that pushes your breasts forward? And lifts them upward?"
His fingers brush upwards, onto the tops of her breasts and he can feel the young woman's nipples erect within the confines of her bra and blouse.
"Ella, your tight skirt prevents one further correction I would make though I won't elaborate on that now. However it is time to bow your head and say your prayers like a good Catholic girl should."
As the young woman bows her head and closes her eyes he listens to her whispering quietly....."Forgive me Heavenly Father......" And, as she prays, his hands caress her breasts, finger and thumb of each hand gently teasing the nipples he can feel erect through her clothing.
Then he moves his hands to her shoulders and presses down. Ella sinks back, her bottom on her heels, her skirt straining tight over its curve. As she does Pp slides along the pew to watch her from the side, taking in her bowed head, her upthrust breasts, wrists crossed behind her back and the pencil skirt stretched taut across her thighs and arse.
"Ella, you do look quite lovely kneeling like that. Thank you for being brave enough to take my dare. Can I offer you dinner on Friday evening as a reward and as my thanks?"
Ella turns towards him, her head still bowed, until a touch of his finger to her chin has her lifting her eyes to his. "I think I would enjoy that Pp. Thank you."
He is pleased to see a smile on her lips and a little glisten of wetness in her eyes.
"I should drive you home Ella? We can make a time on the way."
She nods and he offers her a hand to help her to stand.
