Missing Pieces (The Pieces Series Book 1) by Tiffany Flowers Page A

swings...putting a fist-sized hole in the wall. I jump and he turns, knowing he’s scared me.
    “Oh, baby. I’m sorry.” He rushes back to me. “You know I love you. Don’t listen to him. Demons play with their victims, causing mental pain before the physical.”
    “Don’t leave me alone again.” I look at him. “Why didn’t you tell me about not wanting anyone to know about us thinking I was human?”
    His eyes get big and he wipes his forehead. “I didn’t even think about it. You being human was never a big deal to me. If you know how much trouble I would be in if anybody found out you were human, then you know I would never choose my people over you. Who told you?”
    “Derrick. I almost said something to Amy and Rebecca about it. And I never said you would choose your people over me. That is just what Lash said.”
    “You will have a guard on you 24/7 from now on. I cannot risk Lash getting his hands on you. I can’t lose you.” He leans down and kisses me gently. “I’m sorry.”
    I lean into his chest and inhale his scent. I love this man and, no matter what he does, that will not change. “Come take a shower with me. We’ll let the warm water wash away the tension.”
    I follow him into the bathroom and watch him undress. I could stare at his naked ass forever. He catches me staring and winks. He jumps into the shower and turns on the water. When I see steam coming up, he peaks his dripping head out and says, “Are you going to join me?”
    I undress and slide in behind him. I wrap my arms around his waist and lay my head on his back. “I’ve missed you.” It feels like we haven’t seen each other in weeks.
    “I know, baby. I’ll work on that.”
    He grabs my hands and pulls them off him, turning to face me. He puts his hands under my chin and looks in my eyes. “I really am sorry about not spending much time with you. I was trying to find out why the demons have been more active lately. I was trying to keep you safe and, in turn, I have neglected you.” He kisses the corner of my mouth. “You forgive me?”
    “I guess so. You just have to prove to me you want to be with me. I understand you’re a leader, but you are going to have to make time for me if you want this to work.”
    “I will start making time for you, I promise.”
    He kisses my nose and then my chin, working his way down my neck to my chest. Lifting me in his arms so he can reach my nipples, he nips my peak and twirls his tongue around, causing me to moan and lean my head back. The hot water and his expert tongue have me wet already. He kisses back up to my mouth, gentle and then aggressive. I wrap my hands around his neck so our bodies are touching. The feel and smell of him intoxicate me. He slides in me and pushes me back against the shower wall. We make love like it’s our last day together.

    T his boat has so much to offer...water slides, casino, bar with a dance floor, gym. I feel like being a kid so I dress in my one-piece with the sides out. It accents me perfectly. Neeko walks out in his swim shorts. “Wow. I’m either going to faint from the sight of you, or I’ll just keep you locked in this room all day.” He winks.
    “You don’t look so bad yourself, but I want to have fun in the pool.” My mouth waters at the sight of him.
    He grins. “Oh, so you want to have fun, huh? I can use my magic and make that dream come true.” He steps closer to me and I get a whiff of him. If I don’t get us out of here, I’m going to do him on every surface in this room.
    My voice drops to a husky whisper, “Neeko, not that kind of fun.”
    “But that’s the best kind.”
    No argument there. It gets better every time. “Please, Neeko.” I am about to give in to him. He walks to me and plants a kiss on my lips, then walks out the door. Damn tease . I follow him out the door. We get to the pool, which is pretty empty. We claim two chairs and he puts our towels on them. “Neeko, I am going to the slide. You
