Chapter 10

‡

Something wakes me from a sound sleep the next morning, and it takes me a few moments to realize that it is my own thoughts.

Callie.

I roll over to tell Mal, but he isn’t in the bed, and so I search the floor for the T-shirt and yoga pants I dropped there last night, then pad out of the bedroom to find him.

He’s in the kitchen reading the newspaper as he waits for the coffee to brew. He’s wearing nothing but boxers and looks so incredibly sexy that he could easily be mistaken for a model advertising the espresso machine. And when he looks up at me and captures me in the heat of that slow, sensual smile, I’m surprised that I do not melt into a pile of goo right then and there.

“Well, good morning,” he says. “Guess who’s not getting breakfast in bed after all.”

“I’m going to go out on a limb and say me.” I take a seat on one of the barstools, then gratefully take the coffee he offers me. “Ask me why I’m awake.”

“All right,” he says agreeably. “Why are you awake?”

“Callie.”

His brow furrows. “Is she here? I didn’t hear the door.”

“No, I was thinking about her. About her dad, really. And about the amulet.”

“Go on.” I see the subtle change as he shifts seamlessly from morning banter to work mode. Now, he doesn’t look like a model in boxers, he looks like an executive in a suit—despite the boxers. And I can’t help but be impressed.

“It’s just that her dad found it once.”

Mal’s mouth curves down thoughtfully. “Go on.”

“All these different stones I’m seeing, they each have their own energy. And I don’t know how to tell them apart when I look at them in my mind. But what if Oliver does? He’s held the amulet. He’s touched it. Maybe he’d recognize the pattern?”

I take another sip of my coffee as I study his face, trying to guess how he will respond to my suggestion.

“If that’s the case, then shouldn’t Callie recognize it, too?”

I shake my head. “We’ve talked a lot since I came here, and she’s told me all about her dad and how she ended up here with the brotherhood. She’s never actually held the amulet. Just the box. I don’t think it would be the same.”

He’s silent for a moment as he turns away. I watch as he puts the coffee beans up, then takes a bagel out of the bread box and slices it. As soon as he’s pushed the lever down on the toaster, he turns his attention back to me. “It’s a good idea, lover, but Oliver had a stroke. He’s in a nursing home, and he doesn’t talk.”

“He does to Callie. He’s got Livia inside him, too, just like she does, and they’re connected. And we both know that we’re capable of moving energy back and forth.” I think of what happened with Raine—of how Mal gave me his energy for control and I gave Raine the weapon’s energy to heal.
