“Give me some lovin’.” Jon slides in next to Felicity and pulls her into his arms, burying his face in her neck. “Missed you, Angel.”

“Oh, and here comes my lunch.”

We all turn to Kate as Jon cocks a brow at her.

“What? It’s been all of four hours since you last saw her.”

He grabs a French fry from the plate in front of Felicity and points it at Kate. “We’ll make a believer out of you yet.”

“I very much doubt that.” She pauses and spins her empty cocktail glass around a couple of times, staring down into the bottom. “And anyway, who’s to say I’m not seeing someone.”

We all stop what we’re doing. Luna pauses at sipping her drink.

“What?” Felicity eventually speaks first.

“I’m seeing someone. No big deal.”

“Who? What? Where from?”

“One at a time, please. He’s a lawyer, and no, he doesn’t work with us. I met him in college, and we recently reconnected at a wedding for our mutual friends.” She flushes slightly and leans back in the booth. “I kind of really like him.”

Felicity belts out the classic wedding march and Luna bursts into laughter, the sound squeezing at my heart.

“That’ll be you soon, Angel.” Jon turns and plants a kiss on the side of her neck.

“Have you set a date?”

Felicity’s eyes light up at Luna. “Yes! We have, but I’m not saying just yet. We need to make sure the registrar can do it first.”

“Why don’t you bring this guy to the gala?” I ask Kate.

A flash of excitement crosses her face. “I didn’t want to impose, and you haven’t met him yet, so I thought maybe I shouldn’t.”

“Bring him. I think we need to put a face to this…what is his name?” It’s my foundation. What the hell if the organizers moan.

“Tom.”

“Yeah, bring Tom. Tell him to bring his wallet too. We need all the donations we can get.”

“What type of lawyer is he?” Luna asks.

She’s fit right in with the group, like she was always meant to be here. Jon shoots me a glance from across the table, and I know he’s thinking the same.

“Litigation, like me.”

Felicity’s tone is stern. “And how come I’m only hearing about this now?”

Kate shrugs. “I wanted to see if it was more than just sex.”

I practically spray my beer across the table but halt when I see the way Felicity is looking at Luna.

She knows.

Retracting my arm from behind her head, I bring it to rest at the top of Luna’s thigh. She visibly relaxes under my touch and fuck if that doesn’t do something to me. Leaning into her ear, I whisper quietly. “Everything okay, Rocket?”

She nods while the others continue their conversation. “Yeah. Thank you for the dress and shoes. You really didn’t have to.”

“I can’t wait to see you in them.” Her skin pebbles, and my urge to move my mouth just a few inches lower and kiss where I see her response is overwhelming.
