Brutal Proposal – Cassia Quinn (1)

I hope this woman makes you very happy now that you’ll finally have her as your wife.” My father claps me on the back before taking his seat in the front row beside Mama and my two brothers, Romeo and Santo. Romeo gives me a curt nod, while Santo waggles his eyebrows suggestively. I ignore them both. At the best of times they’re both a distraction in their own way. I don’t have time for that today. I swallow down the thickness in my throat.

Papa knows all about my yearning for Elena, he understands the significance of today, my wedding day. Above and beyond solidifying my new position here in America, and more than the sanctity of this event in the eyes of man and God, but that taking Elena as my wife will complete me.

She’s my other half. I’ve felt it in my soul for years. I want her. I need her. We belong together for all of eternity. Today is our first step in a new life. Elena pads down the stairs, auburn hair disheveled, still in her nightgown as if she’s just woken up. As soon as she sees me, she comes to an abrupt halt. “I-I didn’t know you’d be stopping by today.”

I keep my gaze glued to her face, resisting the deepest temptation to let it fall lower. She’s back lit, and I don’t think she realizes that every curve of her body shows right through that thin fabric. She looks like a fucking goddess. One I’d gladly consider worshiping for a night. “Excuse me.” She slips past me into the living room. “Is that Maximo?” Aunt Antonia calls out.

“Let’s go sit in the sun.” I follow Elena, finding her helping Antonia to her feet. The woman has a nurse, yet she often seems to dismiss her in favor of having Elena’s assistance. The fragile, ancient woman shakes so much I’m afraid she’s going to collapse any moment. Elena reaches for the cane as Antonia uses her for temporary support. Her fingers brush against it just enough that the walking stick falls over. I spur into action, grabbing the cane from the floor, and hand it to Elena.

Our fingers touch and a spark zaps us both. Startled, we pull away. I watch Elena situate Antonia with her walking stick and help her through the house to the courtyard out back. She’s so attentive and aware. Yet she doesn’t coddle Antonia, because everyone knows our aunt’s still a free, independent spirit even in her aging body. Once we get outside, the warm Italian sun beaming down on us, Elena holds Antonia’s hand as she sinks into a chair.

It’s such a simple thing, helping move Aunt Antonia from one seat to another. But the care with which Elena does it warms my heart.

My muffled cry only manages to draw the attention of my captor. Face obscured by a balaclava, he approaches the iron- barred cage that sits in the corner of the shabby apartment. I scream again, cowering against the far corner.
