so that they are almost eye-to-eye.
“We slept great, just woke up fifteen minutes ago. Sean was going to take a shower next, but I’ll let him know that you are.” Ian looks down at Kallos and gives her a full smile.
“That would be great. I can come and get him when I’m done.” She can feel her mouth getting dry just by him looking at her. She looks down, forgetting that Ian is only wearing a towel. She really needs to get into the bathroom and stop embarrassing herself. She looks down to hide her blushing. She tries to walk past him, but he holds onto her arm.
“Kallos, never hide your face from me. I love it when you blush.” He gently lifts her chin so that she is looking him in the eye. He smiles and brushes his fingertips along her cheeks. Then he pulls her into him and kisses her. Kallos wraps her arms around his neck in order to get as close as possible to him. Feeling her knees starting to give out on her, he tightens his hold on her, which only pulls her tighter to his body. Pulling away Kallos places her trembling hand on his chest feeling his warmth… “That was a great way to wake me up.” Kallos looks up from his chest, and smiles.
“Go take your shower.” Ian's bright, beautiful, baby-blue eyes stare down at Kallos. He kisses the top of her head and pushes her towards the bathroom.

As Ian walks into his and Sean's bedroom, he can still feel Kallos' happiness, and by the look on Sean's face, he can, too. Ian can tell that this necklace is going to cause problems. He doesn't want to feel it every time Sean is with her. He walks over and grabs his clothes.
“What took you so long? I've been waiting,” Sean says as he is heading to the door.
“You have to wait; Kallos is taking her shower,” Ian says, and Sean turns to face him.
“You know I can join her. We will save water and help the environment.” Ian isn't in the mood to hear his brother's smart mouth. The darkness inside of him is trying to take over, and it wants to pound Sean. Ian takes a deep, long breath and cools himself down. He can't have Kallos and her family seeing his dark side. Ian knows that Kallos has seen his eyes change, but she doesn't know what he and Sean have inside them.
“Watch it, brother!” Ian doesn't want anyone talking about Kallos like that.
“Dude, I am joking. You know I wouldn’t treat her like the rest; she’s different. She deserves so much more.” Ian nods in agreement. “We need to be nice to each other for her. She is the only one that matters,” Sean pauses. Ian can see his brother's eyes change. “When you were with her, I could feel everything,” Sean whispers. That is something Ian doesn't know if he can handle. With this necklace, he knew the moment she woke up this morning. When she was nervous, he felt it.
“Well, I'm going to go downstairs. She’ll be done soon.” Ian walks out of the room.

Kallos walks into the steamy light blue bathroom and shuts the door. She takes a deep breath to steady herself. What would have happened if her parents saw her kissing a boy who was wearing only a towel? Her dad would flip.
Kallos doesn't want to take long, so she quickly washes her hair and seems to rub her body raw in a rush. She doesn't want to be the reason why everyone else has to take a cold shower. She gets out, wraps her hair into a towel, and puts on her robe. She opens the door and heads to the boys’ room. Kallos knocks once, and Sean opens the door. He smiles and she smiles back.
“Good morning, Babe,” Sean says as he leans in and kisses her cheek. He is inches from Kallos' face; she feels her insides turn gooey. Catching herself as she is staring at his beautiful blue eyes she slowly moves them to his full mouth. She feels like she’s just swallowed glass as she realizes her heart is probably in her throat from her excitement. She hears someone behind her clear their throat, Sean looks up from her face and the color drains completely from his face. Their playfulness is short lived when Sean clears his throat and says “Good morning, Sir. She turns around slowly and smiles
