Brandon
Mariana pulls her hair into a knot at the top of her head, revealing her long
neck. I don’t remember admiring a woman’s neck before, but hers is so
delicate and graceful. I’ll bet that pretty skin is as velvety soft as a flower
petal.
Fuck. Why am I sitting here gawking at my best friend’s youngest
daughter in the middle of a family barbecue?
I never should have started courting her older sister. It felt wrong the
moment Hector asked me to do it. Beautiful as Sofia is, I haven’t felt that
special spark with her, and she’s too young for me.
Mariana is much, much too young for me.
My damn celibacy vow must be fucking with my head after three years
of not touching a woman. I should have known waiting until marriage was
taking it too far. It’s not like I believe sex outside of marriage is wrong. My
goal was to eliminate distractions and narrow my focus on building my
church, and I’d only have to wait until I found a wife, after all.
I assumed I’d have found her by now.
“Brandon,” Hector says, breaking me out of my reverie. He draws his
brows together. “I need to talk to you about something.”
I frown, shifting in my chair. Does he sense the direction of my
thoughts? I hope he didn’t catch me staring at Mariana after she just
stripped down to her bikini.
“Do we need to go somewhere private?” I ask.
He shakes his head, his gaze drifting to Sofia. She’s standing in the
middle of the pool, a small child in her arms. She’s always playing with one
of her nieces or nephews at these family events. Dread clamps around my
chest. She’s so good with children. It’s her dream to be a mother. She told
me on one of our first dates.
It was a clear message.
“I wouldn’t be here right now if my intentions weren’t serious.”
“How are things going with the two of you?” Hector asks, his voice
dropping to a whisper.
I take a sip of my Corona, giving myself a chance to think of a reply
that won’t sound half-hearted. “I’m taking it slow. I still feel like she’s too
young.”
He huffs out a laugh, patting my back. “You don’t think you’re a little
too old to be single, brother?”
Brother. What he means is “brother in Christ,” but the word holds so
much more warmth coming from him. Hector has been like an older brother
ever since he brought me to God four years ago. Now that I’m leading
what’s become one of the biggest churches in Santa Barbara, every
Christian in my acquaintance seems to be in too much awe of me for real
friendship. Aside from my younger brother, Hector is the only true
confidant I have, which is why I did him this favor. I started “courting” his
daughter, as he calls it, against my better judgment.
I set down my beer, leaning back in my chair. “I just don’t want to rush
into anything. I know she’s serious about settling down and starting a
family.”
