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

voice.
    At the river there had been hints of a more demanding side. But Ty had always been a sweet kid with a crush around her. It was as if that demanding side was being awakened but hadn’t been fully realized yet. That night she’d felt loved and cherished.
    There was nothing about the way he was looking at her now that seemed soft enough to be considered cherishing.
    He was looking at her with heat and… purpose . That seemed like the best word.
    As if he knew exactly what he wanted and he intended to get it.
    There was a definite edge to him now.
    She had been following him and his sport and she knew the kind of physical and mental toughness that went into competing at the level he was at. It wasn’t hard to believe that would carry over into other things. He had to be goal-oriented and driven.
    If he applied that to seduction, she was a goner.
    She slipped the camisole over her head, leaving her in only a small white lace bra.
    “Bra.”
    One tiny word and her whole body reacted. She was hot all over, hot and wet in key places. And he hadn’t even touched her yet.
    Yeah, she was a goner anyway.
    She reached back and unhooked her bra, letting it drop to the carpet.
    She stood proudly in front of him, reveling in the way his eyes darkened as his pupils dilated. She knew Ty had been with many beautiful women over the years. He’d just ended a somewhat volatile, very public relationship with a fellow Olympian. They’d been seen in public either all over one another or practically engaged in mortal combat. It seemed they burned hot whether it was for good or bad.
    Still, Hailey was confident in two things about herself—she could get anyone to do anything she wanted, and she always looked good doing it.
    “Now the skirt.”
    He hadn’t moved, but she could see his fingers digging into the desk where he gripped the edge and she fought the urge to smile. He wasn’t unaffected. That’s all she needed to know.
    She slid the zipper down the side of her skirt and let it slide to the floor. She stepped out of it, facing him in only a thong and heels.
    “Thank God it’s red,” Ty muttered as he came off the desk suddenly.
    She opened her mouth to respond but then he was there, almost on top of her, his hands in her hair, his lips on hers.
    The kiss was hot and hungry. It was like the kisses at the river but…more. He held her still for the strokes of his tongue over her lips and then her tongue as she opened for him. He tasted every corner of her mouth before he let them both up for oxygen.
    “Say yes,” he said huskily as he kissed down the length of her throat.
    She tipped her head back and felt his tongue along her collarbone. “God, yes,” she said.
    He backed up, bringing her along, his hands still on her head. He turned and lifted her onto the edge of the desk and stepped between her knees. He bent his head and ran his tongue around one nipple while rubbing his thumb over the other. As if an electrical wire connected her nipples to her clit, she felt the shocks of heat and desire shoot through her.
    Then he went to his knees in front of her. He dragged his hands from her breasts along her ribs, over her stomach and to her thighs. He pushed them open and leaned in, pressing a kiss to the silk covering her clit.
    “Ty!” Her hand tangled in his hair, hanging on as he moved his mouth and tongue, wetting the red thong.
    “Pull it out of my way,” he told her gruffly.
    With a shaking hand, Hailey moved the thong to the side.
    She was hot and wet and ready for him and she prayed she wouldn’t orgasm with the first touch of his tongue.
    He leaned in and lapped at her and it was really close. She gritted her teeth and squeezed her eyes shut.
    At age eighteen, having never done it before, Ty had given her an orgasm with oral sex. She could only imagine that he’d had some practice since then and she prepared to embarrass herself with the fastest orgasm in recorded history.
    But he let up after the first lick
