Luke held her a little tighter and a little longer than would normally be socially acceptable. He breathed in her familiar scent and made a rumbling noise in the back of his throat that could only be described at pure contentment. He had missed her.

The man Lenny had been talking to cleared his throat from behind her and Luke released his embrace. He looked into steel grey eyes and stuck out his hand.

“Hi, I’m Luke Casey.”

“Duke.” The man replied with a firm handshake.

The way Lenny and Cody had spoken of him, he had expected an old man. Instead, he found himself face to face with someone maybe only five years or so older than himself. His athletic build was evident despite his thick flannel shirt and Luke found himself standing a little straighter. This was the guy Lenny had been living with for the past week?

“Duke, this is the lead singer for Double Blind Study.” Lenny introduced and Luke struggled with his sudden desire to put his arm around her possessively.

“Right, the circus you left town with.” Duke nodded.

Luke squinted slightly, trying to decipher the undertones in which Duke spoke.

Mike, Sway, Harrison and Blake descended upon Lenny at that moment, crowding the kitchen and making it even harder for the caterers to maneuver.

Blake picked Lenny up and gave her a bear hug. She squealed in surprise and slapped his shoulder so he would put her down. She hugged the rest of the guys, happy to see them, then introduced them to Duke as well. Handshakes happened all around, manly grunting and stiff greetings. Lenny must have noticed the subtle tenseness that lingered and tried to break it up.

“Let’s get out of the kitchen so these people can do their jobs.” She led them out to the open living room where the dancing was in full combustion. Luke saw Cody at the center of the mess and he wasn't surprised.

Some girls spotted the rockers and pulled most of them onto the dance floor. Luke hung back, wanting a few minutes alone with Lenny if it was available. It had been far too long since he had kissed her perfect lips. He slipped his arm around her waist resting his hand high on her hip, having brief eye contact with Duke but acting as casual as possible.

Maybe Duke picked up on Luke's not so subtle hint, maybe he was just hungry but he suddenly announced he needed more sandwiches and left Luke and Lenny alone together.

Lenny watched the band members dancing with Cody's friends and she scrunched up her nose. “Maybe this was a bad idea.”

“You’re not on duty, they’re gonna be fine.” Luke lightly laughed at her reaction.

A thin girl with short, caramel colored hair was laughing too loudly and Luke suspected she had been drinking before her arrival. She staggered off the dance floor and came towards Lenny.

“Do you know where some water is? I'm so thirsty.” Then she burst into giggles again.

Lenny pulled the girl towards the kitchen stopping just in the doorway.
