That night, Liam lay alone in his bed, moonlight washing over him in pale blue rays, sleep successfully evading him.

Her name and face flashed constantly in his mind like neon signs, vivid and glowing.

Stella, Stella, Stella…

And yet his heart felt heavy in his chest, aching from some long forgotten pain. But he couldn’t shake the image of her blue eyes, glittering hauntingly at him, drawing him in possessively…

The memory of his father arguing with Rohan and literally going to blows with each other flickered in his mind, and he was uncertain why he felt upset about it. Stella told him it hadn’t mattered and his mind had seemed to agree. Their argument had nothing to do with him just like Rhiannon’s disappearance had nothing to do with him.

There was that damn pain again…he thought angrily, his mind fighting to push it away.

I don’t even feel it, it’s not important. Think of Stella, lovely Stella…

But he didn’t want to ignore it; he wanted to know where it came from and why. It had been plaguing him for some time, getting worse at the mention of Rhiannon’s name or when he saw her face…but he was almost positive that he didn’t care about her so why did it hurt?

He loved Stella. He wanted to marry Stella.

Right?

He stared up at his ceiling, his blue eyes sharpening suddenly as the memory of Rhiannon’s face flashed in his mind, her smile a bit shy, a bit uncertain, but the surrender clear in her eyes. So beautiful…

And then the vision of her rising over him, ivory skin glowing white in the moonlight as her body cruised over his. Her dark length of hair slipping from her shoulders, draping down to his chest as she leaned in to cover his lips with hers, her eyes glittering like emeralds in the dark.

Those hands, practical but delicately feminine, sliding over him, his body reacting to her touch. He could almost feel her, warm and close against him, as he pulled her into his arms and loved her.

His heart filled with it, this love for her, and he felt hot tears spring into his eyes as the pain mixed beautifully with this warmth and desire. She was Earth…he was Water…the two elements that best suited each other, so perfectly. She needed him, and he had saved her…

No! Stella! I love Stella!

I don’t think so…

Rhiannon means nothing, she’s worthless to me. I love Stella, only Stella.

He saw as clear as day Rhiannon arching beneath him, her lips parted as she said his name…

Where is she?

It doesn’t matter. Who cares? She’s history.

But this hurts…this pain, God, it hurts…

Ignore it.

I can’t.

Yes, I can. Stella, Stella, Stella…

And then the memory of her voice, Rhiannon’s voice, saying the words he’d waited all his life to hear…as long as you want me, I’m yours.

Of course I want her. I love her.

No.

Yes. God, yes, I’ve always loved her…

NO!

YES!

He shot up into a sitting position, clutching his violently beating heart and gasping wildly for air, his eyes wide with stunned clarity.
