I knew Seth Marc was trouble the moment I laid eyes on him. His arresting presence rippled through me and I felt his chaos deep in my bones as our gazes met across the expanse of my father's gym.

The alluring fighter wasn't my type with his athletic torso, long, ropy arms, and powerful fists built to destroy men weaker than him, but every fiber in my being was fixated on him.

I craved him.

And although I knew he was the kind of guy who left a trail of shattered hearts in his wake, I wanted him.

I needed him.
I had to have him.

For the first time in my life, I decided to take a walk on the wild side, consequences be damned.

The Consumed Series

I don't know if I fall asleep or not. All I know is, when I blink, the sun is higher in the sky and I'm alone in a bed much too big for one person. I sling my arm over my face with a groan. How is it morning already? I open my eyes and shoot up in the bed. Morning already! Shoot! I shove the blankets off and roll out of the bed. 


"Seth?" I call, rushing across the bedroom floor. 


"Olivia?" He appears in the door frame at the same time I do and we collide. 


I bounce off him with a shriek and flail. Swearing, he catches me by my shoulders and steadies me on my feet. 


I push my hair out of my face. "What's the time?"


"Early," he simply says and I settle, blowing air from my cheeks. 


"Early enough to have breakfast together, attend my training session, then take you to work." 


I lift my eyebrows, then frown. It's that early? "What time do you wake up?"
