Kemar and Cullayne POV

"Where you off to in such a hurry?" I ask trying my best not to hold the woman in my arms closer to me than it was required.

It took a great deal not to hug her and familiarize myself with the sweet scents that emanated from her warm supple body.

It was a shame that the little girl that I had known all her life and watched grow into a lovely young woman before she had migrated to Canada five years ago, was now an equally stunning young woman was so potent to my peace of mind and sensibility because she is like a little sister to me.

"Kemar!" she beamed throwing her arms around me and hugging me tightly to her slender frame that was filled out in all the right places with curves that jutted with eye-appealing delights.

Relax bwoy a Aunty Lamais daughter yuh a lust off I said silently hoping to get myself on track. The likkle tun foot pickney weh use to follow yuh every weh an yuh even use to change e pampas...

I was still finding reasons to control my feelings when she pressed her face closer to my neck and said. "I have missed you so much."

"Really now a suh yuh treat smaddi yuh miss?" I ask hoping my voice does not betray the deep-rooted feelings in me I have been trying to hide for years now.

She placed her head now in the crook of my neck and shoulder her breath tickling my bear skin causing other feelings to fight for dominance.

One thing was for sure Cullayne Cushanie Cyan was my kryptonite and it took all my willpower not to grip her rotund butt that was inches from my hand and press her further into my body and show her just how much I missed her.

How many times had other women tried to pull from me these feelings that erupted just at the thought of this woman in my arms? More than I care to think about.

"Kem stop gwaan suh," she replied giving her body a little shrug that caused her breasts to rub against my mesh merino providing the unwarranted knowledge that she was braless beneath her off-the-shoulder floral crop top.

Another revelation that was not working to keep my body under control yet I held her reluctant to let go.

"Things and time just cause circumstances to take a different turn."

Maybe for her but time did nothing to change my feelings nor did the specific circumstance in the form of her fiancé.

"Mmhhmm," I grunted as the proficiency of her belonging to someone other than me ripped at my heart.

"Yuh soun disappointed," she said pulling away slightly so she could look into my face her eyes intent and questioning. "Thought you would be happy to get rid of the annoying lil tomboy that followed you around like a shadow."

"See the thing is yuh always a assume tings. When you have the ability not to."

A frown furrowed her brows and before her eyes found mine our attention was brought to a figure who cleared their throat a little too loudly.

Cullayne pulled from my embrace as I stared at her cousin with a blatant look of annoyance. She glared at me her eyes hard with jealousy.

"Kemar a dat yuh come ere fah?" she acquired looking from an uneasy Cullayne to me. The implications of her words made my annoyance with her increase.

"Seana yuh come out yah fi watch mi or yuh a guh look after Ms Lamais remedies dem?" I ask wishing she would disappear.

Her full lips turned into a smile that made me grimace. For the past three years since she had moved in with her aunt Seana has set her sights on me. There were a few occasions where she made her attraction to me known in ways that belied her innocence.

If you look at the short voluptuous figure with the dreamy eyes and easygoing smile you would never know that it disguises a cunning and devious nature.

"Look like seh a good ting mi come out ere you and Sister Cullayne seem very chummy," she said eyeing an uncomfortable Cullayne.

"Hey, mi nuh know weh yuh a try imply and besides mi an Laynie nuh need no watch ooman wi both consenting adults," I snapped wishing she would just go to where she was heading.

"Touché Br. Kemar," she said turning her attention back to me. "But just looking out fi mi family and church brother. Imagine if a one a d other church sister roun a back did happen pan d two a yuh what dem wudda think hhmmm," she gave a little pause then added, "especially with Laynie spoken for."

"Seana, Kemar and me are coming from when I was a baby so nobody seeing us together is going to imply what you are suggesting."

"Heh not from what I come see they ain't," she countered with a nasty snicker.

I watch as Cullayne marches up to Seana her slender supple frame towering over her cousin by an inch as she stares intently into her eyes. I watched as she shivered a bit then said.

"Maybe you should focus on what people will be saying when they know you and your prayer partner prayer meetings go far beyond that."

Seana's eyes dart away from Cullayne's and she hurriedly steps away almost stumbling.

"Mind yuh own business."

"Likewise Seana."

The tension was building and the last thing I needed was things getting out of hand. I sure as hell did not want Seana dishing Cullayne and me dirty to cover her misdeeds.

I, however, wished I had walked away and not read her up because in the brief moment it took for me to do so I realised my cousin seriously disliked me and more so because of her deep attraction to Kemar who she believed liked me more than just a friend.

There was something else too but before I could read into it Kemar placed my beanie that had fallen from my head back on my two jumbo canerows before pulling me away and like two giddy-headed kids he had us running towards the path that would take us to the far back of the church.

I found myself laughing as my feet practically flew off the ground to keep up with his long powerful strides.

"No... sto.. opp!" I cried out as laughter and my need to catch my breath ended up giving me stitch pain. "Plea.. se."

Kemar stopped when we reached the clearance that was used for various activities such as small weddings and small outdoor meetings and the field that ran adjacent was used for church sports during Easter celebrations.

"No sah yuh waah kill me off," I said after catching my breath and the pain in my side began to lessen.

Kemar laughed as he walked to a shade of trees that were heavily crowded with whisps and went to idly push at a bamboo swing that hung from a limb of one of the trees.

"So yuh couldn't tell me that you and Seana were like that, " I tease fixing my beanie more securely on my head.

"Yow nuh mix mi," he scowled. "That a nuh my cup a tea so mi nuh have no mixing a gwaan wid ar."

I placed my hand akimbo and tried not to grin at the annoyance evident on his face.

"Stop look paah mi suh."

"Are what?"

I walk with purposeful strides towards her my scowl deepening but her sweet delightful laughter had me grinning as she made a hasty retreat from me.

As I raced after her I felt animated and happy somethings I have not in a long time but when I caught up to her and pulled her into my body another feeling took their place.

There was no doubt it. I was forever going to need Cullayne in ways that were forbidden.
