    The glittering excess of the Strip can’t compare to the glowing jet engines of his F-16. But a sexy, redheaded waitress in seamed stockings? Now she gets his blood pumping.

Especially when they discover a matched passion for roleplaying. For Cass, it’s an exciting departure from her normal, shy persona.
