Priest falls for brother’s wife

[Brandnewbuddy]

Again, another non-blood related taboo idea.

Priest never had much trouble remaining celibate he’s a worldly person but overall never met anyone he felt much of a connection with.

Then his brother gets married and priest finds himself getting attracted to his new wife.

Some ideas:

1. Brother is in the army and deploys while wife is left at home. Priest wants to help wife out so he invites her to lots of church functions but brother’s wife doesn’t feel quite welcome there so he winds up visiting her at her home a lot. One night they get a little drunk and they share a kiss or even get little frisky. At first they try to brush it off…then they start making excuses for why it’s okay, then they have a full on affair, trying to keep it a secret from brother

2. Brother passes away, leaving his pregnant wife behind. Priest is a massive support to her during the grieving process and he soon starts helping her out with everything his brother would have…of course what everyone but the two of them don’t know is that she’s carrying priest’s child.

3. Brother is still around but doesn’t suspect anything. He’s normally pretty controlling with wife but sees his brother as a non threat since he’s a priest and in brother’s own word, “a pussy.” Of course, he has no idea that the two of them are fucking like mad.

I figure it would be fun to explore the dynamic.

One idea I had is that priest thought he was asexual but he’s really demisexual (in other words he needs a romantic connection to someone before he gets sexually attracted to them)

Another is that wife likes the relationship not just out of attraction but she has complicated feeling about religion and fidelity already and feels priest can help her with that: she likes the idea of corrupting a man of the cloth but also wants it to be someone who isn’t a bad guy, or she wants to step outside of her marriage but wants it to be with someone who would also be looked down on if the affair was exposed.

Finally I thought it would be funny if the parishioners know the whole time…but they don’t really care since:

1. He’s still a good priest

2. He ain’t a diddler

I could see myself doing a story with a priest or nun. But I stopped going to church about 40 years ago and have precious little knowledge of the infrastructure inside the church.

So it’s actually not too hard for a priest to pull this off, they have their own home provided by the church (a rectory) and while they do have a lot of duties, they also have a fair amount of free time.

For example, a priest I knew growing up always made time to visit his brother’s family and attended his nephew’s school events (before you ask, no there was no wild stuff going on and he wasn’t an inspiration for this story).

I prefer the brother passes away and the priest and woman slowly end up making a life together, fighting through feelings of guilt and finally settling into a life of acceptance and love.

While the sister-in-law's potential corrupting angle is interesting, it seems a very tall ask to get a priest to go with it.

First are the solemn vows a priest takes before God, which are not to be taken lightly at all. Second is that sleeping with her breaks 2 of the 10 commandments - thou shalt not commit adultery and thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife. Technically he's not committing adultery as he's not married, but it's still a serious sin.

A way it could potentially work though is if, before he became a man of the cloth, he had a crush on his then-future sister-in-law but she (to his knowledge) didn't know about it and got with his brother. Then, years later his brother is [choose one of your options here] and his wife is alone. She did know about his feelings and, due to her complicated feelings, decides to tease the priest. That teasing of course then leads to a lot more.

The idea seems well thought out and falls in the line of a romantic drama, I hope it gets worked on as you see fit. For me though, I like the idea of a faithful man such as the priest being sexually tempted by this cheating wife!
His brother's wife knows his attraction towards her and it makes her feel hot, so she tempts and teases him to fall deep into her. Wife would want to have meetings with him, confessing her sins on lewd things she wants him to do to her. Since he's also her brother in law, call him to come help with things around the house when the brother is gone. When he arrives, she would have on the most skimpiest outfits on just to tease him.
He knows he cannot partake of the fruit but his humanly instincts are just so strong, urging him to take his brother's wife to bed. It keeps going until he finally breaks and give in to his sister in law's temptation.

You could get a LOT of ideas from some of the novels of Andrew Greeley, a Catholic priest who wrote mysteries and steamy romance, among other things. Reading his fiction helped me understand some of the currents within Catholicism - both the laity and the priests and nuns.
Given your idea, I recommend you start with Thy Brother's Wife. Greeley wrote it in 1982, when he was starting to hit his stride as a fiction writer. Ascent into Hell also features a priest as a main character, one who makes a LOT of mistakes, including sleeping with a married parishioner.

I like the idea. There aren't enough Taboo stories about taboos other than incest.

Taking your idea in a totally different (possibly humorous) direction: A new priest is assigned to the parish. The local parishioners fear that he might be a pedophile. So a dozen or so wives take it upon themselves to seduce him several times a week, taking turns, so that he is too drained of cum and sexual energy to diddle the altar boys. The kicker is that he never had any intention to molest anyone, but is happy to take the variety of mature sexual encounters.

Might be best to avoid any words that will get flagged by an algorithm and get the story rejected!
