Kallos (Kallos Series) - By Khelsey Jackson Page 0,51

she wonders if she can move without Sean noticing? She can already smell her morning breath and it smells like death. Okay, not really death, but last night’s dinner, which was meat loaf with lots of onions. She doesn't know if he’s wake; she needs to come up with a plan. Yesterday morning, Ian kissed her right away, which was fine because she didn’t eat onions the night before. Maybe she can sneak out of the room and right into the bathroom. The only problem is that she needs to go right past Sean.

“I know you are awake,” he says, and she knows that he is smiling. “Don’t worry; I’m not going to attack you.” He’s chuckling. Now she feels dumb. She has been lying there for five minutes, and he knew what she was thinking the whole time.

“Sorry, this is a little awkward.” Kallos sits up in bed. Sean is already sitting up, and his chest is bare. “Good morning.” Bad breath forgotten; she gives him a flirty grin.

“Good morning, but if you look at me like that much more, I might have to attack you.” His grin is even sexier lying in bed. He looks amazing first thing in the morning. His hair looks like he styled it to look messy. Kallos smiles and looks down because she doesn’t want something to happen when anyone can walk in at any minute. He clears his throat. “Since you are a girl, I’ll let you take your shower first. It takes you longer to get ready,” he winks at her.

“Hey, I don’t take that long to get ready.” Kallos says and throws a pillow at him. He catches it and laughs.

“True, but you have more things to do.” She shakes her head and gets out of bed. She goes to her desk chair and grabs her robe.

“Hey, when you’re done can you get Ian? He can take a shower after you.” That makes her pause. She doesn’t think she is ready to see Ian yet. Kallos knows that she will see him soon, but in like five minutes seems too soon.

“I’m not sure what happened last night but don’t hold it against him. We are all becoming very close to each other in a very short time. I do know that he didn’t mean to hurt you. Your hand was a freak accident; I plan to ask my mom about it today. We thought I was the one with all the demon genes, but it doesn’t look like that now.” She still isn’t sure about seeing him. Kallos knows it was an accident. She knows that neither of them would hurt her.

“Okay, I’ll get him when I’m done,” she is just about to walk past him when he grabs her arm and pulls her closer to him.

“Do you really think I’m going to miss out on another morning kiss?” He asks her. Yesterday, Kallos’ dad came in before they could really kiss; now it's just them. She looks up at him and his eyes stare into hers. She bites her bottom lip, and his eyes fall to her lips. He slowly brings his lips to hers. When their lips meet, Kallos feels her whole body melt against him, and she lets her arms go around his waist. Sean hands imprison her face. It seems that every time she kisses him, it gets better somehow. As he pulls away from her, he kisses her nose, her cheek, and her forehead. He stays there for a minute with his lips pressed against her forehead.

They are both breathless. “You should go and shower before someone comes looking for you,” he whispers against her forehead, and he sounds a little horse. Kallos doesn’t trust her own voice yet, so she just nods. He slowly backs away from her; she thinks he is making sure she has her balance. She walks to the door and closes it quietly behind her.

Kallos takes a short, five-minute shower. She looks at herself in mirror. Her hair is showing more red. It once was a dark brown; now it is lighter with a lot more red highlights. She ties her robe tight and opens the door. Kallos takes a deep breath and walks to the spare room. She knocks, and she can hear footsteps coming toward the door. She looks down because she wants to take some extra time to work up her courage.

The door opens, and she can feel Ian’s baby blues on her. She gradually looks up
