bar.”
A part of her knew Hunter was right, but there was no way she was going to lose her only friend over jealousy.
“You’re wrong. And even if he did, he’d never do anything to jeopardize our friendship.”
Hunter looked at her like yeah right, but didn’t say anything.
“I’m not giving up my friend. So if you’re even thinking about asking that of me, get it out of your head right now.”
“I never said that. I just wanted to make sure the lines were clearly drawn.”
“If you want to stay involved with me, you need to accept he’s part of my life. I’m not going to toss him to the side.”
“Okay. I get it. I wouldn’t ask you to do that anyway. Loyalty is something I take very serious.”
“Good.” Luna leaned her body into his. He caught her lips in a lingering kiss which she melted into.
When he finally pulled away he ran a finger down the side of her jaw. “Doesn’t mean I’m not jealous as hell of the bond you two have.”
“I read somewhere jealousy is good for the soul.”
Hunter shook his head with a laugh. “Only you.”
“He’s going to be here in a few moments.”
Hunter ran his hand over his jaw. “All right, well how about you come over to my place after? Stay the night.”
“We'll probably be out late. I don't want you to have to wait up.”
“I don't mind. Just give me a text before you head over. If you don't hear back means I'm asleep.”
“I can do that.” They shared a long kiss before Luna untangled herself and jumped in the shower. By the time she got out, Hunter was already dressed and waiting by the door.
“Thank you for understanding.”
Hunter shrugged. “If we want this to work we have to trust each other. If you need a ride or anything give me a call.”
Luna nodded and brought him in for a long, slow kiss. She was so tempted to blow off Marcus and stay home with Hunter, but she couldn’t do that.
Chapter Fourteen
A few moments later the doorbell rang. Marcus. She threw the door open and gave him a hug. “I feel like I haven’t seen you in ages.”
“That’s ’cause you’re always blowing me off these days.”
Luna rolled her eyes. “Where are we going?”
“I don’t care. Where there’s music and beer.”
“And don’t forget hot women.”
“That too.” Marcus laughed.
“Are you seeing anyone these days?” Luna asked curiously.
“Nothing serious. I’m guessing you’ve found someone to occupy your time, since you haven’t been harassing me.”
Luna smiled. “I have been hanging out with someone. But we’ll see.”
“That’s what I thought. All I can say is he’d better not hurt you or he’ll have to answer to me.”
“I’m lucky you’re my friend.” Luna grabbed her purse off the chair. “Let’s go dancing. I heard there’s a new club near the river.”
Marcus held out his arm and she linked hers through it. Maybe the place would suck and she’d have an excuse to head off to Hunter’s before he fell asleep. Damn she was pathetic. They’d only been apart a little while and already she was itching to see him again. She tried to push him out of her mind and focus on Marcus. On the drive they caught up on what’s been going on in his life the last couple of weeks and talked about Grayson’s wedding. Luna still couldn’t believe her sister was tying the knot.
The line to get into the new club was around the bend. Luna didn’t feel like waiting, but also didn’t want to act like a prima donna and move to the front of the line. Luckily, one of Marcus’s friends called him over so they moved ahead quite a bit. Once they finally got inside, Luna had to admit the place had definite possibility. Techno music pulsed through her veins. Strobe lights flashed bright colors all around them, pulling them into the darkness. Luna grinned and grabbed Marcus, dragging him onto the dance floor.
