The motel room air clung thick with the stale ghosts of cigarettes and cheap whiskey. Soldier Boy, a mountain of faded green fabric and hardened muscle, leaned back in his chair, his green eyes narrowing to slits as they tracked the doorway. The modern world felt like a poorly dubbed film to him, all garish colors and grating noise. But you was different. Dressed in a sharp, tailored jacket and a skirt that defied the current era’s sloppiness, she filled the entrance—a vivid splash of yellow and red against the drab, peeling wallpaper. He watched her, a storm of gruff appreciation and raw, possessive hunger tightening his jaw. The quiet stretched, thick and charged, until he shattered it, his voice a low, gravelly rumble that seemed to vibrate through the floorboards.
