I Have Always Loved You

After Phoenix and I made love. I watched him sleeping in my arms. He looks so sweet as he cuddles up closer to me. I had a lot to think about as I quietly slipped out of his arms and got dressed.

I walked back over to him and kissed his soft lips as I stroked his hair. He smiled in his sleep. I knew he was so happy and I loved him like crazy. I never knew I could love them all the way I do.

I pulled on my jacket and left his room. I headed back outside. The rain had stopped and the moons were full as they shone down on me lighting the way.

I made my way over to the flower garden. I sat on the bench under a beautiful rose tree as I looked up at the moons. They looked so gorgeous in the clear night's sky. I never really noticed the stars before but there are so many, it is breathtaking. I felt a hand on my shoulder as a voice spoke.

"Holland? What are you doing out here?"

I looked up to see Holt looking worried."

"Holt? What are you doing out here?"

He chuckled as he spoke.

"You might be the queen, but I believe I asked you the question first."

He smiled as he sat down beside me.

"I just came out for some air. I couldn't sleep... Now it's your turn."

I know I told him a lie, it was a tiny white lie and I had to. I couldn't very well tell him that I was finding it hard to choose who was to father my child between Breeze and Phoenix while I was dealing with a confession of love from Quinn and my birth brother Odin, while I knew my adoptive brother had also fallen in love. I wasn't supposed to know that yet.

He smiled as he looked up at the moons with me.

"I just got back from fishing with Odin... Wow! Those moons are so beautiful amongst all those stars. I have never seen anything like that before."

I chuckled at him. He moved closer to me and smiled as he held my hand. Holt looked at me concerned.

"Jeez, your hands are freezing, sis... Come here."

Holt pulled me into his arms as he rubbed my shoulder. I realised he has always done this to me, but I never noticed it was in a sexual way before as a lover would. He kissed my head softly as he spoke.

"Can we have that talk now, Holland?"

I looked up at him and I smiled. I knew what was coming so I braced myself.

"Remember I told you that I have fallen in love with someone else?"

I nodded as I listened to what he was saying.

"Well, It is you Holland... I knew deep down you weren't my real sister, but I tried to push it aside all of those years."

"What do you mean you knew?"

He chuckled at my question.

"I tell you that I am in love with you and the first thing you ask is how did I know?"

Ooops, I should have sounded more surprised. He looked at me as he caressed my hair.

"You already knew that I loved you, didn't you?"

"Okay, Yes I did, but It was only because Odin told me what he thought."

He signed as he smiled then he kissed my head again.

"Anyway, I had a feeling when I held you like this, It felt different and not as hugging a sister should... I pushed that feeling away for years as we grew up. but as we got older I felt it stronger as you always cuddled me when you were upset... Many times I wanted to kiss you."
