Getting to Her: A Sapphire Falls BONUS Novella by Erin Nicholas Page A

over but nothing fell out. He rummaged for another box. But there was none.
    “Fuck!” He threw the bag to the side and tipped his hand back, breathing deep.
    Son of a bitch. Dammit to hell. Fuck.
    He felt Hailey’s hand on his arm. “It’s okay, Ty.”
    “No, it’s not,” he growled.
    “I’m on the pill.”
    “That’s great but—” He stopped and swung to face her. “What?”
    She nodded. She ran her hand over his arm. “I’m on the pill. And I’m clean. I never do it without a condom anyway. And I got tested at student health a month ago after my boyfriend cheated on me, just to be safe.”
    His heart was pounding so hard he almost didn’t hear all of that. “I’m clean. I’ve never done it without a condom and TJ made us all get tested a couple of months ago.”
    She gave him a little smile. “Why?”
    “Because he said that was part of being sexually active. It’s a responsibility. You know TJ.”
    She nodded, her smile growing. “I like TJ.”
    Ty narrowed his eyes, teasingly. “But he’s not your favorite Bennett.”
    She shook her head slowly. “No, but because he’s so responsible, I get to have my favorite Bennett right here and now.”
    A shudder went through Ty. “You’re going to let me fuck you bare, Hailey Ann?”
    “Yes,” she breathed.
    “You’re sure? Absolutely sure?” Ty didn’t know why he kept asking. If she said no, he would, no question, die on the spot. Spontaneously combust. Or his cock would explode, killing him. But he wanted her with no questions, no regrets.
    Because that would also kill him.
    “I’ve never been more sure of anything,” she said softly.
    He sucked in a long breath. “Then spread your legs, darlin’,” he said, just as softly. “I know exactly where I want to be.”
    She did as he said, but slowly. Seductively. She lifted both arms over her head and opened her legs.
    He stared at her for a long moment, again memorizing the look of her, reliving the taste and sound of her coming, the feel of her on his fingers and tongue.
    He moved between her legs and ran his hands up and down her silky inner thighs.
    “Heaven,” he muttered. “This must be heaven.”
    She smiled. “Ty?”
    “Yeah, darlin’?”
    “Fuck me.”
    Any sweet thoughts or romantic ideas he had fled, replaced by a pounding need.
    He was on his knees, her legs on either side of him. With his eyes on hers, he yanked his swimming trunks down, then slipped his hands under her ass and lifted her. He’d never used this position before, had never really had room for it before, but they had plenty of space and he had to see every bit of this. He had a perfect view here.
    He moved one hand, stroking it up and down his length, easing the ache slightly so he didn’t come the second he thrust inside her.
    “Oh my God that’s hot,” Hailey breathed.
    He kept his eyes on hers as he stroked himself. “Next time this will be your hand. And then your mouth.”
    He saw her breathing stutter slightly and again reveled in the fact that she liked that idea. And him talking about it. He focused on her mouth as he ran his hand up and down over his aching flesh. Even the thought of sliding past her lips into her hot mouth had his orgasm inching closer.
    He had to take her now or they’d be waiting for him to recover in another minute or so.
    He looked down at her pussy, spread open and all his. She was still wet from her orgasm and his balls contracted slightly.
    Fuck. He had to get inside her or this was all over.
    Ty positioned his cock at her opening and pressed in slowly.
    “Oh, yes.” Her head tipped back again and she closed her eyes.
    She was so tight and hot and wet. Ty knew this was going to be the shortest fuck of his life and already regretted it. But there was nothing he could do. This was Hailey.
    Finally.
    He reached up and tugged on one of her nipples and felt the reaction in her pelvic muscles. He withdrew and then thrust again, stretching her, torturing himself with the
