I'm a day late and a dollar short to the release, but at last minute I heard Schlitterbahn's siren call and despite my best efforts, got burned. *Sigh* 70+ SPF my lily white bottom! The lovely beauty on the cover below obviously doesn't feel my pain, but boy oh boy, this is hot in an entirely different way!
Release Date: August 2014 (no specific date set yet)

Excerpt from Poppy:
Everything on the guest floor was rattling from the bass of the music blaring
throughout the rooms. I was sure that I had drank close to my weight in
tequila alone, not to mention the amount of whiskey shots I had thrown
back, but I was still standing and I was feeling good; no, better than
good. I was feeling fan-fucking-tastic as I moved my body along with the
beat of the rap song that was playing. I threw my hands in the air
above my head before bringing them back down, trailing across my body as
they went. Sweat was bedding across my collar bone as a few drops
trailed their way down the valley between my breasts. The melody was
enchanting me, making me move provocatively with every beat and I loved
it.
Grinding
my hips from side-to-side, I felt a large body step up to my swaying
backside. Most guys were my height or barely taller, but whomever was
taller than the average Joe. I continued to rock my hips from
side-to-side as I spun around to face my dancing partner and smiled
widely when I took in Riley’s large frame behind me. He looked sexy as
ever; black jeans hanging loosely on his hips with a plain forest green
shirt stretched tightly across his broad chest. He gripped my hips as I
snacked my arms around his neck. When we had first arrived he
disappeared, I assumed to get ready for the party but when he never
returned I felt a sting of disappointment and turned to the liquor
quickly.
I
looked up at him through my lashes as I rubbed my body along his to the
beat of the song. Riley’s hands were still gripping my hips as he
rolled his large self along with my rhythm. My liquor induced bravery
was taking control, and I had no desire to try and tame it. Riley’s
hands pulled me gently until I was completely flush against him and I
felt him straining against the zipper of his pants. I drew in a long
heavy breath as he moved his hands around my waist and splayed one of
them across my ass while resting the other on my back underneath my
shirt. His skin was warm against mine. I closed my eyes and took in the
feel of his hand moving gently up and down my spine as we continued to
move against one another when I felt his breath tickle the side of my
neck.
“Your
dancing's as passionate as sin.” His words crawled slowly across my
neck causing the skin to rise with goose bumps. I shivered and leaned
forward to reply when I heard Jayde yelling for me to do a body shot
from across the room.
“Come
on, Poppy!!!!!! Body shots!!!” Here slurring voice called out before
the next song started up and Riley took a couple steps back.
I
watched his electric blue eyes darken just a little as I called back to
Jayde and made my way through the crowd to the long bar that split the
kitchen from the living room. I stumbled a little in the shoes I was
wearing but surprisingly I wasn’t falling all over the place from the
amount of alcohol I had consumed.
“Hop
on up on the bar, it’s your turn!” Jayde spun around and pointed her
index finger at my chest. She was so care-free and unbelievably funny
when she was sober, but when she was drinking those same attributes
about her seemed to grow even more. Jayde was a knock out! I envied her
different colored eyes; one green and one blue. It was hard not to look
back and forth between them whenever I spoke with her.
“Are
you crazy?” I placed my hands on hips and laughed. “I’m almost as long
as the bar, Jayde, and all of those alcohol bottles at the end will be
in jeopardy if I jump up there.” I laughed again as I twirled my hand
around in the air when I felt big hands latch around my waist.
“Up
you go.” Riley’s baritone voice was at my ear, sending chills across my
skin. I gasped from the unexpected contact as my bottom was placed
against the cool wood of the bar.
“Keep
your legs bent and you won’t knock anything off.” Cash suggested as he
grabbed the bottle of tequila, salt, and a few lime slices. “Who’s up
first?!” He held them up in the air.
“Me!”
Jayde snatched the items from Cash’s hands. His eyes seemed to darken
when she said it. I wasn’t sure if it was due to the fact that she was
going to be taking a shot off of my body or the fact that he was
head-over-heels in love with her and wouldn’t admit it.
“Where you taking it from?” I asked as I laid my body across the wood bar.
“Navel I suppose. It’ll hold the tequila the best.” Jayde shrugged as she
plucked the top from the bottle. I grabbed the hem of my belly shirt and
pulled it off. Apparently they weren’t expecting that because Cash let
out a cat call that had me blushing and Jayde cracking up. Most girls
would have been ready to scratch my eyes out if their man whistled at me
like Cash had, but not Jayde. It was just another reason why I loved
having her as a friend.
I was wearing a black laced bra that had studs running across some of the
lace on the front of the cups. It was a pretty bra, one of my favs…and
apparently a new focal point for Riley’s eyes. When he realized I was
watching him watch my chest rise and fall, a wicked grin spread across
his face. Yes, I had a good size chest. No, I wasn’t born that way. I
was the girl that was overly tall but lacking in the boob department.
Did I go overboard and get gigantic tits when I got implants? Nope. I
went with a full C cup and mine didn’t look like the easy-to-tell
implants. Hell, you couldn’t really tell unless I had on a massive
push-up bra or you felt them.
Jayde poured the cool tequila into my navel and I felt my stomach contract
from the feel of it. I took a lime slice and placed it in my mouth as
she trailed a line of salt up my stomach and between my breasts. “Here
goes nothing!” She called out just before she dropped her mouth to my
body, licking the salt from between my breasts to my navel before she
sucked the tequila from my navel swiftly. Her lips were on mine as she
sucked the tart lime juice from the slice of lime resting between my
lips. Jayde pulled the lime from my mouth and I sat up enough to brace
myself with my elbows against the bar. We definitely had a crowd of
observers around us then.
I looked over at Riley and felt my heart pick up the pace from its normal steady beating. His electric blue eyes looked like tiny lightning bolts were going off throughout them. I had never seen him look so intense before. It was like something inside of him was ignited and I was hoping I would find out just what that something was.

“My turn!” Cash stepped up but was quickly pushed back by Riley.
“I don’t think so lover boy.” Cash’s face fell. “She’s all mine.”
“I don’t think so lover boy.” Cash’s face fell. “She’s all mine.”
Those three words bounced around inside my head.
She’s all mine.
I knew he meant he was up next for the body shot, but the thought of it being something more was knocking loud and clear. I laid back against the bar and felt the chill of tequila fill my navel again as I slid a new slice of lime into my mouth. The grainy feel of the salt was back in the exact same spot as before. I took a deep breath to try and steady my erratic breathing and closed my eyes. There was no way I could watch Riley lick his way down my body, suck tequila from my navel, and drop his lips to mine. The thought of it was erotic enough, but watching him while he did it…that wasn’t anything I could handle.
His warm breath tickled the skin across my collar bone just before I felt his tongue make its way between my breasts, skipping the area where my bra came around, and continued down to my navel. My body was screaming for more as he sucked the tequila up into his mouth. The loss of his tongue and lips on my skin was devastating, but it quickly subsided as our lips connected, causing an unexpected moan to escape up the back of my throat. Riley squeezed the lime juice from the slice between my lips and discarded it onto the counter before bringing his mouth back to mine. The tart juice of the lime lingered between us as his tongue danced around mine, adding a hint of salt into the mix. The kiss seemed to go on forever, but forever wasn’t long enough when Jayde stepped into the mix.
“Whoa there, Riley! Give the girl some room to breathe.” She drunkenly laughed and Riley pulled his lips from mine as if I had burned him.
He didn’t say another word before he walked off into the crowd of people dancing and grabbed hold of some brunette that I didn’t know. I quickly looked away as I slid down from the bar and quickly put my shirt back on.
“Where ya goin’?” Jayde asked as she filled a solo cup and extended her arm to me.
“I need some air.” I fanned myself with my hand and took the Bourbon filled cup from her. I needed to cut myself off, but seeing Riley all over some girl not even five seconds after his tongue was down my throat left a bad taste in my mouth.
