Disclosure: I own nothing of Arrow

Once back inside, Oliver dropped Thea's arm and move he and Felicity directly to the dance floor another slow song started to play. Oliver spun her around again as they stepped onto the dance floor and she spun into his chest. A wide smile painted itself across both of their faces as they sway to it. Felicity hummed along quietly into his ear, causing Oliver to draw her closer to him. He loved the sound of her voice. He hand his right hand low on her back, teasing with the free skin he found there between her skirt and top, and his left held her right hand over his heart. He dropped his head so the his lips fell into the crook of her neck and as he breathed her smell in deeply, he let his eyes slowly shut and the scent take him away. Her body melted into his and their warmth became one. They swayed together not even knowing others were near them. Just moving to the music that dancing along with them in their little bubble. "Baby, do you like this song?"

"Yeah. It's sweet. It's romantic. I mean he wrote it for his wife who didn't speak a word of English when he met her but he just knew she was it for him."

"I know that feeling." Oliver pressed his head against her forehead.

Felicity could feel the glow that was growing from within her. He had warmed her heart and made it swell in a way that no other man ever had. "Sweetheart, I love you."

"I love you too baby." Oliver spun her out as the music swelled and spun her around a couple times before pulled her back into him. They were so close that they moved as one.

Thea had been watching from across the room and couldn't help the smile that grew there. Seeing her brother so in love was something she never dreamed she would get to do. Now she was going to make sure it never went away. Both he and Felicity had been through enough to lose this as well. They deserved this happiness. She walked up to Diggle. "Dig?"

"Yeah?"

"When Felicity went to the bathroom earlier she said that she overheard a few things from some of the women in there. Did you see who came out before her?"

"Yeah. It was the small group of women over there." Diggle pointed across the floor at a small table filled with Jessica Reynolds and a few other ladies.

"Of course. I knew she would start something. We'll I am going to finish it."

"Thea do you think that is wise?"

"Dig she made my sister cry and questions my brother's love for her. She almost broke them up."

"She what?" Thea explained what happened and Diggle fought the need to protect his friend. "Go get her." was all he said then moved away to watch over Oliver and Felicity.

Thea crossed the room and walked up to the table, grabbing a glass of champagne from a nearby waiter as she walked up. "Hello ladies. Enjoying your night?"

"Yes thank you. I didn't know that Thea Queen was taking up the hostess duties for this function." Jessica snarled back at her.

"Oh just try to be friendly. It has been such a lovely evening and seeing my brother so happy just makes me happy."

"We'll see how long it lasts."

Thea knelt down next to Jessica so that she could whisper into her ear. "Unless you want me to tell your husbands about the lovers you have on the side, you will play nice. I am pretty sure those prenups you all signed have clauses on infidelity. And don't think this is an empty threat. I have proof like dates and times and you schedules. My mother knew all this and kept detailed notes. I found it in one of her journals after she died. Now back off and let them be happy or I will pull the strings of your worlds lose so fast that you will not know what happened until you are trying to get a job as a waitress and a local diner and living in the Glades. Understand?" Thea looked at all four of the women who were scared and shocked by what she had just said. "Great. Well you all enjoy the rest of your night and tell Chris, Donnie, Mark and Stew hi for me next time you see them." Thea stood and walked off, knowing that the four women were still reeling over the information she just gave them. Teach them to mess with you family. She glanced over and saw Oliver and Felicity dancing to a upbeat jazz tune and laughing and knew she was protecting the right thing finally.

"Well that was fun tonight." Oliver sighed as he sunk into the backseat.

Felicity curled further into his side. "Yes it was. Well expect that one thing tonight. I'm so sorry for freaking out on you like I did."

"Listen." Oliver turned in his seat so he was looking right at her. "You can freak out whenever you need. You can cry, shout, scream, throw things, punch things. Whatever you need to help deal but just don't run away again okay?"

"Okay." She loosened his bow tie and twirled one of the ends between her fingers.

"I'm serious Felicity. I can't lose you." Oliver hooked his finger under her chin and drew it up so that she was looking into his eyes.

"I will if you will. No more running. We talk. We work things out together. Deal?"

"Deal." Oliver whispered as he pulled her into him again. They sat back in quiet and enjoyed the ride home, the only sounds coming from the car and Felicity humming that sweet jazz song but this time into his chest and heart.

They pulled up to the house and Oliver climbed out. "Thanks for your help tonight Diggle. Darren. I think we got it from here."

"Sure thing . I will go check in for my shift here. Have a good evening." Darren informed them then moved towards the gate and the security office.

"Well I am off. I'll be at the Foundry in the morning so let me know when you are ready to head over."

"Dig go home. Be with your family. I have a feeling life is about to get a bit crazy for all of us. Enjoy them and all this extra time while we have it okay?"

"Sure thing, Oliver. Take care of our girl."

"Always." Oliver shook his hand then was pulled into a hug, it was being to feel like it used to with Diggle.

"Good night Felicity. You did great tonight and was beautiful like always."

"Thank you John. Tell Lyla hi and give Sara a kiss for me."

"Will do. Try to get him to relax."

"I am relaxed."

"You weren't earlier."

"Well I am better now."

Diggle was climbing back into the car and about to drive off when he called out, "Oh and don't be too mad with Thea. She was just protecting her loved ones like you always do."

"Wait what did Thea do?"

"Oh she threatened to out those women that was picking on Felicity."

"Out them how?"

"It seems Moira had a journal of all the dirt she had on all these socialite idiots and Thea found it. Turns out the Jessica was Jessica Reynolds and is having an affair on the side. Her prenup would give her nothing if he produced evidence of infidelity so Thea may have told her that she would give that to their husbands if they didn't let you guys be happy and leave you alone."

"Wow! She did that for me?"

"Felicity, Thea sees you like her sister. Your family to her know and she will do whatever she needs to protect her family. A trait I am glad to say comes from the Queen side." Diggle grinned and chuckled. "Well I am out. Have a good night guys."

"You too John, and thank you." Felicity wrapped her arms around him and drew him into a hug then he climbed into the Bentley and drove off.

Oliver walked inside with Felicity, guiding her straight to their room. "I still can't believe Thea would do that for me."

"I can. Like Dig said, she sees you as her sister now and she is protect you at any cost. I know that feeling well."

"Still blackmailing them like that. She pulled out the serious cards for me."

"Because you are serious to her. To both of us. Felicity, you are the woman I love and you make me happy. Me and my sister are willing to do whatever we need to protect you because of that."

"You didn't feel that way about Roy."

"Because Thea is my little sister and I was not in a good place. I should have been more supportive of their relationship. They were good for each other. Who knows maybe they can figure out a way to be together in the future."

"Does that mean you will be nice and supportive of sister's next boyfriend?"

"Only if the two most important women in my sign off on him. If he clears you and Thea then I think I could figure he is good. Plus if he messes up, you two are going to do enough to him that I really won't have to. I mean Thea is assassin trained and you are killer with a computer and wifi. He won't know what hit him if he crosses you two together. I already know that and will not be making that mistake." Oliver laughed as they crossed into their room. Felicity sat down and slid off her heels and started to rub at her feet,to ease some of the pain they had. Seeing this Oliver crossed over to her and took her foot from her and rubbed it. She moaned as his fingers slid over her skin and pushed her muscles in a relaxing way.

Once he was done, he stood up and kicked off his shoes as well. Felicity stripped off his jacket and threw it over the back of a nearby chair. She was starting to remove her jewels when he placed his hands on her to stop her. "Dance with me?"

"Here? Now? There's no music."

"Yes here and now. As for music..." Oliver pulled out his phone and turned on a soft ballad then tucked in back into his pocket so he could hold her completely. He sway them soft through the room. Felicity could help the giggle that grew out of her. "What funny?"

"Just the fact that Oliver Queen has a woman in his room and instead of stripping her down and having sex, we are dancing. No one will ever believe me if I tell them this."

"Good. First I have you in our room. I am dancing with you because I want to. Felicity, you deserved to be romanced. You deserve flowers and gifts and dates. I want to give that to you. This is more than just sex to me. If you wanted to wait until we left to have sex again I would do that."

"Really?" She stopped swaying and looked up at him in shock.

"Of course. I told you. I would do anything if it was you asking. I may not like it but I will do it. So that you are comfortable and happy."

"Well don't worry. I won't be able to sleep in the same room as you and not enjoy it. Not right now." She giggled as she ran her fingers over his abs. She could feel the shift and tense through his shirt.

"And secondly, what we do in this room is for us to know. No one else. When I make love with you Felicity, that is something I only share with you." The heat and luster in his eyes had her knees shaking already and she was getting moist. "Now one more dance then we can get in our bed. Okay?"

Felicity only nodded, still trying to swallow down to lump in her throat fro his words. They had meant the world to her and turned her on all at the same time. To the point that she felt like she was going to pass out.

Oliver pulled out his phone and turned on one final song that he wanted to dance to her with. Thea had shown it to him and he knew that Felicity would love it. A soft piano started playing as the singer sang about his love for a woman and promised what he would do for her. Oliver felt every word of the song. He pulled her closer to him as the music built up and pulled her hand he had in his to his lips to kiss it. When the song ended, Felicity heard it's message and knew why he chose that song. She reached up on her toes and kissed him deeply, feeding the fire that had building up all day.
