Loosely based on the It's Just Lunch® dating service, Confess is the first in a series of tales revolving around the It's Just Sex no-strings fantasy fulfillment service.
This story was first published in the print edition of Alessia's award-winning debut collection, fine flickering hungers.
WARNING: Catholics may find the story premise offensive. Well, "good" Catholics, anyway.
My name is Alessia, and I write about sex. Sometimes it's pretty sex. Sometimes it's... not. I write about sex because I'm sick of preachy people using it to control others by turning it into something shameful. Sex is a crucible. It's a prayer, a celebration, an affirmation, and a motivation.

Here's the obligatory 3rd person promo bio:
Take one part Appalachian redneck, one part aging wet dream, and one part filthy-minded wordsmith. Mix well and serve with chocolate-covered cherries. There you have the one and only Alessia Brio. Alessia writes all colors and flavors of erotica, from heterosexual to ménage to same sex, and from twisted to humorous to deeply touching. Her work has earned her critical acclaim in the form of an EPIC eBook Award for Best Erotica (fine flickering hungers), two EPIC eBook Awards for Best Erotica Anthology (Coming Together: Against the Odds & Coming Together: Into the Light), two Next Generation Indie Book Awards for Best Erotica (Coming Together: For the Cure & Squeeze Play with Will Belegon), and a Romantic Times Top Pick (Coming Together: For the Cure) in addition to a plethora of glowing online reviews.
This short little story by Alessia Brio has its moments and some of them are funny. But to think that a priest would call up a sex company to get someone to come tho his confessional booth and tell him a naughty story was just a bit much. The story became funny once all the stuff in the booth was over and you found how who the person was in the booth and what they had wanted for their own sexual fantasy.
A well written story with an unusual twist. Short enough to read on a coffee break but long enough to keep you interested. More comedy than erotica, it will have you smiling all the way to the confessional box where you won't be able to keep a straight face.
