CHAPTER SIX

ROMAN

* * *

She was like human fire in my arms. The way she moved, the things she let me do to her… the sounds she made while she did things to me… oh my fucking god.

I’ve never known a woman to let go so completely before. I’ve never been so in tune with anyone like I was with Poppy. I’ve never felt so… trusted.

Neither of us wanted to part this afternoon, but after two hours in the tree house we were exhausted and we both had things to do. She promised her grandmother she’d join her at home for dinner. We made plans to meet for a drink this evening.

So here I am on the back patio of the Stars and Stripes, watching the sunset and daydreaming about Poppy Blaze. My mind runs slowly through all the things I want to do with her… all the things I want her to do to me, and everything that happened already, and the electricity between us the whole time.

I had planned to work on finishing the porch this afternoon, but after almost skewering my hand with a nail gun—twice, I stopped working before I could do some serious damage.

“Hey Army! Don’t you look happy!” Roxy arrives at my table and pulls me from my reverie.

I smile at her. “Hello Roxy.” She has her hair pulled back and she’s wearing giant silver hoop earrings that bump against her cheeks when she talks.

“What can I get you?”

I order a draught beer and get back to my sunset.

After a minute, Roxy returns, places my beer on the table and then stands back, eyeing me. “So, Army. You’re about six foot three?”

I have no idea where she’s headed. “Six four, but close enough.”

She looks over her shoulder at the bartender who urges her on. She turns back to me. “I wonder, do you have plans tomorrow morning, during the parade?”

“The parade?”

“See, the Stars and Stripes has this tradition with our parade float. We have a whole setup with the cheerleaders from the high school and the mascot and everything, but thing is, our Uncle Sam can’t make it. He broke his leg the other day, and the costume was made special for him by his wife, Jackie.” She throws a thumb over her shoulder to indicate the bartender. “And you’re almost exactly the same build as Tommy…”

“Wait, so you want me to be Uncle Sam in the parade tomorrow morning? What does that entail?”

“Just wearing the costume and smiling and waving at everyone, tossing out candy to the kids.” She shrugs. “Pretty standard parade stuff.”

I take a sip of my beer and think about it. It’s not like I have anything else going on tomorrow. “What time do you need me there?”

“Eight o’clock, sharp.”

“I’m happy to help.”

Roxy starts clapping.

Jackie comes over to thank me. “You saved the parade!” She gives me a hug and tells me that her husband was really worried he’d have to do it in his cast. “Thank you so much!”

Roxy sits down in the chair next to me, opens her pad, and starts making notes for me.
