Summary: Dragged back to church, you never expect to lose yourself to Father Way. What begins as stolen glances and quiet guilt unravels into a single, irreversible confession, one that fractures faith, blurs devotion into desire, and leaves you both marked by a secret neither prayer nor time can erase.
A/N: HAI EVERYONE!!! Ive missed all of u and im finally back!!! And here is the priest gee fic that the masses have asked for bc yes WE need that catholic guilt dick
You never expected to find yourself back in a church. And if you had â if someone told you a year ago youâd be here, actually aching to see a priest, you wouldâve thought they were insane. Yet there you were, cheeks burning in the pew, barely able to breathe as Father Wayâs voice sang through the air. His words burrowed deeper than scripture ever had, too sweet, too gentle, and way too good for the dirty thoughts twisting in your head.
Really, youâd only come back to church because your mom had insisted, dragging you along like some lost cause. And then there was him: Gerard, Father Way, impossibly young for a priest, the kind of awkward sweet that made your heart skip and made every inch of you feel awake and hungry and terribly ashamed.
You didnât know much about religion. But you knew how you felt each time his eyes found yours. You knew the way your gaze would dart away, guilty, your hands wringing in your lap as your pulse thrummed traitorously. Each Sunday, it got worse. Youâd daydream instead of pray. Youâd linger after Mass just to hear him laugh, try to memorize the way his fingers curled around a prayer book. Once, your knees brushed as you stood from the pew. He apologized. You nearly ran straight out the door.
Your mother always lingered after service, gossiping with friends. You spent that time pacing like a caged animal, waiting for him to finish talking to parishioners, watching him try to look at everyone but you for too long. You felt stupid, humiliated for wanting him. Asking yourself, again and again, if there was something sick about you. If heâd be disgusted if he ever saw the storm inside your head.
You didnât know that he was just as wrecked, just as hungry, that afterward, alone in his silent room, Gerard would clasp that rosary until it cut red lines into his hand and whisper prayers for mercy, for relief. That every night, he dreamed himself lost in your body, your scent all over his skin, sweat cooling as he lay trembling and ruined by his own hand.
This Sunday felt sharper, all edges. You slipped away from your mother and found him organizing pamphlets at the altar. You hovered, hesitated, you shouldnât speak, not when the very sound of his voice made your knees shake. Still, need got the best of you.
He startled when you said his name, spun around with that dazed smile and too-bright eyes. âOh â Y/N. Hi.â His voice broke, just like yours. You hardly met his gaze, nerves growing everywhere at once.
âI just⌠wanted to say, thank you. For⌠helping me. With faith and everything,â you stammered out, feeling your heart slam against your ribs.
He laughed, rubbing the back of his neck like he wanted to hide. âI, uh, thatâs â thatâs why I do this,â he said. âMeans a lot.â
You flinched at your own boldness and left quickly, fleeing the church red faced, chest tight with shame and something else you didnât want to name.
You barely made it a day. You drove back the next morning, the parking lot empty, your hands shaking as you pushed the church door open. The space felt cavernous, echoing every footstep as you wandered down the aisle, searching for him. You found him at a pew up near the altar, shoulders bowed in prayer. The slant of sunlight lit his hair, his neck, humble and so heartbreakingly human.
âFather Way?â Your voice scraped rough against the hush.
He jerked up, startled, eyes wide as he drank in the sight of you. âY/N?â His breathing hitched. âYou scared me.â His laugh was nervous, almost frightened.
âIâm sorry. Iâ I can come backââ you mumbled, heat roaring in your cheeks.
He shook his head quickly, swallowing hard. âNo. Itâs⌠okay. Youâre always welcome.â His hands fidgeted, voice cracking around the words. âWhat brings you here this morning?â
You twisted your fingers, heart banging so loud you thought he could hear it. âConfession,â you said.
He blinked, startled, lips parting. After a momentâs numb silence, he nodded and stood, hands trembling. The walk to the confessional was endless, the wooden floors creaking under every step. You could feel him glancing at you, like he couldnât help it.
Inside the booth, you broke down. You confessed the safe sins first, drinking, swearing, the little things you thought you could bear to have him hear. But the words wouldnât stay caged.
âIâve⌠Iâve been having sinful thoughts,â you choked out, voice breaking. Not specifying, but the way it hung between you, thick and electric, left no room for doubt.
Through the partition, you heard his breath falter. Silence. And you knew, deep in your gut, he understood exactly what you meant.
Shame filled you. You stood up abruptly, tears stinging, panic spilling out hotter than your embarrassment. You burst out of the confession booth, desperate to escape, wanting to run home, run anywhere and never come back.
But as you rushed through the aisle, you heard the confessional scrape open behind you. You barely made it past the first row before you felt his hand, urgent and unsteady, close tight around your wrist.
âWaitâ His voice, thick and hoarse, not holy, not priestly just Gerard. Just a man, trembling in his skin.
You turned, breathless. You could feel his whole body shaking, his grip almost painful where it circled your arm. And then he was kissing you, desperate, startled, hungry, like every word he wanted to say was etched in the wet pass of his lips against yours. You gasped. He caught you around the waist, dragging you back behind the thick wooden doors, out of sight.
There, in the narrow dark, the air was humid with both your ragged breaths, the pressed close heat of bodies that had never done this before.
âGod, forgive me,â he whispered against your mouth, but he didnât stop. His hands trembled as they found your face, your jaw, down your sides, like he couldnât believe you were real.
You clung to his collar, desperate to steady yourself. Your lips crashed together again and again sloppy, rushed, your teeth scraping his lip. His lips tasted like cheap wine and cinnamon breath mints, and it was already dizzying.
He pressed you tight to the panel, his whole body trembling as he kissed down your jaw, stopping to bury his face in your neck, shuddering.
âI canâtâ I canât stop,â he whispered raggedly, voice heavy with tears and longing. âIâve tried. I thought I could.â He sounded terrified.
He cupped your cheek, searching your eyes for something, permission, or forgiveness, or maybe just consent. âAre youâ?â
âPlease,â you whispered. âDonât stop.â
He moved clumsily, hands shaking violently as he slid over your waist, tugging up your shirt by inches. Your skin prickled. His thumb traced a line above your waistband, trembling, hesitant. He could barely look at you as your bra came off, his hands combing over the soft curve of your chest, awkward and shy and utterly worshipful.
He dropped to his knees in front of you, almost as if praying. Fingertips dancing over your thighs, every motion electric. You were burning. He pressed kisses to your stomach, his hands finding the button on your jeans. They slid down your thighs, dragging your underwear with them, and his breath hitched at the sight of you, bare and shaking.
âGodââ His voice was husky, ruined, as he peppered trembling kisses along your inner thighs, nose nudging closer.
You whimpered, feeling exposed, your hips shifting restlessly.
He flicked his eyes to yours, shame burning his cheeks, voice just a ragged whisper: âCan IâŚ?â For a second he almost chickened out, but then his mouth pressed flush to your heat. He was hesitant at first, tongue barely daring to taste you, then growing bolder as he lapped at you. His shaking hands gripped your thighs, the pads of his fingers digging into soft flesh as he angled your hips toward him.
You muffled a cry against the crook of your elbow, hips jerking as he grew braver, the sound of his frantic breathing blending with the slap of his tongue.
âIâm sorry,â he whimpered, wetting his lips, âI need toâ you taste so fucking good, Iââ Every word sounded strangled, twisted by guilt and want.
You tangled your fingers in his dark hair, tugging him closer, feeling your thighs tense. And he just stayed there, eating you out like he was starving, moaning against you, whining when you whimpered his name.
You shook, whimpering, and came hard against his mouth. He kept licking, like he couldnât help himself, desperate to chase every drop.
When he finally broke away, his lips were slick, pink and swollen, eyes wide and shining with both awe and panic. He fumbled to his feet, stroked your jaw with shaking fingers. You could taste yourself when he kissed you again.
âI canâtââ he said again. âGod, I shouldnâtââ His hands slid, unsure, to your hips, then up, hovering at your chest, needing but afraid.
You reached for his belt, hands clumsy, his eyes fluttering shut when you worked open the buckle and zipper. His cock sprang free, flushed, heavy, the head already slick with need. He sucked in a harsh, shaking breath, panic rising in his chest.
Shakily, he pulled the rosary from his pocket and wound it tight around his fist, clutching the beads until his knuckles went white. He looked like he was about to cry, or pray, or both.
He pressed forward, cock dragging over your slick heat. You shivered as the cold cross of the rosary bit into your skin where he held your hip, hard enough to bloom purple in hours or days.
You sucked in a gasp as he pressed in, slow and desperate, his forehead pressed to the crook of your neck. Your hands found his hair, anchoring him. Each inch was thick, stretching, pleasure wound with burning ache. He didnât move, just shuddered, whimpering brokenly as he adjusted to the feel of being inside you.
âFuck,â he breathed, biting down on your shoulder to muffle the moan. âGod, please. Forgive me. I canâtâ I need youââ
Slowly he started to move, rocking his hips tiny, frantic movements, his hands everywhere at once clutching, worshipping, completely lost. Soft gasping whimpers spilled from his mouth every time your walls squeezed around him, hips stuttering as he struggled to keep quiet. The beads of the rosary hit your skin at every thrust; youâd see the imprint of the cross later, angry and red, right above your hip.
He buried his head in your shoulder, mouthing at your collarbone, at the weak part of your jaw, his teeth scraping. His breath came fast, reedy moans hidden against your neck.
You pulsed around him, needy, desperate. One palm stuffed against your lips you tried not to cry out, muffled pleas leaking out âOh god, ohâ Gerard, please. Donât stopââ
He whimpered, nearly sobbing, âY/Nâ you feelâ itâs too much, Iââ His hips snapped harder, desperate. You could feel the tremors running through him.
âDo you hear them?â he hissed in your ear, voice cracking. âSomeoneâs still out there, weââ He bit down on a curse, hand sliding from your mouth to your throat, not choking, just holding, just needing. âQuiet, please, youâ we canâtââ
He kept fucking you, pace frantic, frantic, like he could outrun the guilt curling up behind his ribs.
You shattered around him, your body clenching, legs locking, and he groaned, biting at your neck to keep from crying outright. âY/Nâ fuck, fuckâ Iâm sorry, God, Iâmâ I needââ He whimpered, fully unraveling, cock twitching inside you as you felt the hot rush of him spill deep. He held, buried to the hilt, forehead slick with sweat against your own.
He didnât move for long moments, just clung to you, still pulsing, nearly weeping as he forced himself to let you go.
He slipped out of you, still gasping, rosy beads of the rosary pressed so tight into your skin theyâd left marks mixed with the ache of where his fingers had clung. You pulled up your clothes, desperate for dignity that wasnât there anymore. His hand was shaking so hard he could barely do up the buttons.
He looked at you, face devastated and full of awe and remorse all at once. âIâm so sorry. I shouldnât haveâ Iââ He broke off, pulling you close, pressing desperate kisses to your hair, your forehead.
You buttoned your jeans, wetness sticky between your legs, heart thumping wild. You saw his rosary on the bench, shining in the dim light. On impulse you picked it up and hid it in your pocket.
He stumbled away, ducking into the bathroom, running the water, drinking mouthful after mouthful as if he could rinse away that taste, your taste, the taste of everything wrong and holy and real.
You let yourself out the side door, feeling raw and hollow. You could never have him, and he could never have you. But beneath all that ruin and shame, something inside you burned, a secret youâd never confess, not to anyone, not even to God.
And if, weeks later, you traced the bruise of a cross on your hip with shaking fingers, youâd remember once, a man fell from grace for you, too.
