I fall back on the pillow with the covers in my hands, throwing them over me to shield my body. I tremble as the desire that ravaged me just moments earlier is left unsatisfied. I let out a heavy sigh as frustration. Confusion and worry roll through me. Seven didn’t even cover me when he left. It’s a good thing Leo was gone before the door opened. That would’ve been embarrassingly awkward. Now, I am left with nothing but questions. The biggest being, who the heck is Endy?

I can’t understand what’s happening. I want to know why there is a lab here. Hell, there’s a lot more than just that I want to know. It’s clear that they are all keeping secrets from me. Leo, Ettie, Sean, and most importantly, Seven. I can’t imagine why they would, but I desperately need to know what the hell is going on. I can’t get deeper involved with Seven if I don’t.

Filled with determination, I get out of bed. I rake a comb through my hair, pulling it into a ponytail before brushing my teeth. I throw on some yoga pants and a t-shirt before finishing with my glasses. I wear contacts regularly here but if I’m honest, I prefer my glasses. Slipping on some shoes, I go to leave before turning to grab Seven a shirt and his slip-on house shoes that he wears occasionally.

Once I’m out the door, I realize I have no idea where the lab is, but I try to head down the corridor in the direction I think Seven sprinted, hoping to hear noises from this mysterious lab. I’m finished being an outsider in this place. It’s time I become a complete part of Seven’s life. If I’m going to stay in a relationship with Seven—and after this morning I definitely am—then I’m going to have to insert myself into his life fully, instead of hiding, afraid of the unknown. I don’t know who I was in the past, but clearly, the person I am now is different because I would’ve never moved in with Seven without jumping his bones every chance I got. The heat between us is insatiable.

Obviously, past me, was an idiot.

My mental pep talk lasts until the corridor ends with a deep set of stairs going down. Now, I’ve never felt like I was trapped underground before, even though I knew we were in a very huge bunker—perhaps a fallout shelter they made into a home. Going deeper under the ground? That does intimidate me and that gives me pause. For a moment, my determination waivers and I think about turning around. The stairs are dark and that seems like a sign to stay away. I hesitate there wondering what to do now.

“There’s a light switch on the left,” a woman says in a sing-song voice, causing me to jump.

I look over at a woman who seems as surprised as I am. Maybe we’re both not supposed to be here.

“Oh!” I gasp. “I’m sorry. I didn’t hear you walk up.
