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

see Derrick, red-faced and dangling upside down from a vine. Neeko is staring at me like I grew a second head.
    I start jumping up and down. “I did it!”
    I can’t help but laugh at Derrick. His face has gotten even redder and he is trying to untangle himself, but that only makes the vines tighten. I whisper and ask them to let him go. Slowly, they ease him down. He lies on the ground a few seconds, then slowly stands up. I figure now is a good time to hide behind Neeko. “Wow, that was awesome, but maybe next time you can ask them to have me upright. Too much blood went to my brain.”
    “Really?” I peek out from behind Neeko. “I thought you would want to kill me.”
    “Nah. You were just giving me what I asked for.”
    Neeko turns and looks at me. He hasn’t said a word. He leans down and brushes a kiss on my lips. “You amaze me every time I turn around. Now I am going to have to look in the books to see what this is,” he says as he points from me to the trees.
    “You and those books. Do I need to get rid of them? You spend more time with them than me.” I crinkle up my nose.
    “Well, you can go with me and look. That way, I am with you and the books.” He gives me a big goofy grin and holds out his hand. I put my hand in his and we walk to the house. Derrick excuses himself to go...well, wherever it is that Derrick goes. We walk to the library and I sit in the first chair I find, knowing this is going to be a long stay.
    To my surprise, he finds an answer in the first book he picks up. “‘Argokinesis is the ability to manipulate plants’. Last recorded person to have this ability was in the 1700’s.”
    “I don’t manipulate them. I ask them and they do it, not me. I am not sure that is what this is.”
    “That’s what my people have it recorded down as.”
    “Ok, that’s what you can call it then but, for me, it’s not that.” I stand and walk to him. “I don’t want to fight about this.” I kiss him gently on the cheek.
    “Alright, I’ll call it ‘Argokinesis’ for historical purposes only.”
    He grabs me around the waist and pulls me to him, planting a panty-soaking kiss on my lips. He lets go and I try to reign in my libido. He walks to the door, but instead of walking out, he closes and locks it. My pulse picks up a notch, as he walks back over to me. “I need you, Gabby. You turn me on with every step you take, and I need to be in you...now.” 
    He places his hand on my cheek and rubs his thumb across my lips. I open my mouth and nibble the pad on his thumb. I suck it into my mouth and swirl my tongue around it. He lets out a sexy growl. I let his thumb go and he wraps his hand in my hair, pulling my head backwards and giving him perfect access to my neck. He nibbles my ear, his breath tickling my neck. My heart is beating through my chest. He slowly nibbles down my neck, swirling his tongue along the way. When he gets to the base of my neck, he sucks and my knees start to give. He wraps his arms around my waist and continues his torture.
    He kisses his way back up to my ear and whispers, “I love how I can make you melt in my arms. Let’s see how hot I can get you before you explode.” 
    He pulls my dress above my head and throws it to the floor, leaving me standing there in my matching black bra and thong. He slings me over his shoulder and swats my ass. I may very well have juices dripping down my leg. He walks to one of the oversized couches and slides me down his body. I feel every groove, every muscle. He sits me on the couch, and drops to his knees in front of me. He grabs my foot and nibbles on the bottom. I giggle and squirm. “Oh, I found a tickle spot.” He does the same to the other foot. “You taste so sweet. I wonder where else you taste sweet.”
    My heart jumps into overdrive. He kisses all the way to my thigh, stopping at my panties. He softly bites on each side of my underwear. I sling my head back and grip the couch, letting out a moan. He teases me
