Billionaire Seymore Lewis has the world at his feet, and if he wants it, he can have a different girl in bed every hour of the day, every day. He is a sex addict and a man who has it all, a master at no-strings-attached.

What Seymore didn’t expect was to be caught in a new obsession; conquering Ava, the woman who seems to draw a line and keeps pushing him away.

Not even the dangerous people who are after him are an obstacle to this new obsession, and anyone that comes in between him and her, will have to learn to be stepped on.

“Ava deserves a good man. Do you think you’re a good man, Seymore?” the man asks, calming himself down.

“A good man? No, I am not. I would literally strike a match and watch the world burn if it meant keeping her safe,” I reply slowly, leaning in toward him.

Empire of Lust

Marcus guides me to a suburban neighborhood. All the houses look remarkably similar and hold no old-world touches. A newer neighborhood, if I have to guess. I can also assume Conner makes a decent paycheck to be able to afford to live in this location. All the houses are two-story with white picket fences.


Marcus texts me the address and adds, “He has a doorbell camera out front, but the back should be clear.”


Looking around, it would appear that most of the neighbors are at work. Marcus gets out of his car and I do the same, walking up to him casually. 


“So, what’s your plan?” I ask, wondering what he has in mind.


I don’t know that I’m okay with trashing Conner’s place, I plan to destroy his life silently. That, and I don’t want to bring any more heat onto Ava. I have no doubts that if Conner catches Marcus or me on camera, he will find a way to punish her.
