I can't believe Seven walked across to my building, found someone to let him in and figure out which apartment is mine.
But I shouldn't be surprised. I've never met someone as resourceful as him. He always seems to find a way to get done whatever needs to be done, and he's always prepared.
"Wait… don't you have a game tomorrow."
I ask, closing the apartment door and locking it.
It's a force of habit but if he needs to leave, we can unlock it just as easily.
"Yeah, I do," he says, looking down the hallway. "Come on. Let's get you to bed."
He walks down the hall toward my bedroom, and I quickly follow suit, catching up behind him.
Is he really here to sleep with me through the storm tonight?
He pulls the comforter up and then motions for me to get in.
I do what he says, and then he walks over, turns off the bedroom lights, and scoots in behind me, laying an arm over my middle as I face away from him, his chest at my back.
"Once you're asleep, I'll move to the couch. I won't leave until the storm is over, though, OK?"
I don't want him to sleep on the couch, so I grip his forearm.
"Please don't sleep on the couch. Stay with me."
He nods against my hair, and I savor the feeling of having him this close again.
Silence falls between us.
The sounds of the rain and Seven's breathing are the only things that fill the air around us.
"Seven?"
"Yeah?" he says, the sound of sleep in his throat.
I don't know what spurs me on to say it, but I do.
"I haven't slept with Daniel since before he left for Australia."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"I just thought you should know."
"Do you think that makes it any easier on me? It barely helps to settle the twisting in my gut when I think about how this inevitably ends. With you married to him."
I attempt to twist around to face him but his hand grips my hip to stop me.
"Don't turn around Brynn, or I'll leave," he says, his voice demanding.
He's serious.
"Why not? I want to see you."
"Because if you turn around, I won't be able to stop myself from kissing you. And if I kiss you, I won't be able to stop myself from touching you. And if I touch you, it won't be long before you're under me, coming with my cock buried inside of you."
I let out a shaking breath, wanting nothing more than what he just told me he's barely stopping himself from doing.
"He and I aren't together. We're seeing if we have anything in common anymore or if the only thing holding us together was our mutual experience during the tornado. We're not exclusive."
