    About this ebook

    Obeying Griffin is book 3 and the finale of the Below the Belt Trilogy!

    He didn't need a chokehold to take my breath away.

    Sadie

    I’ve got my career and reputation to worry about. The last thing I need is some bad boy adrenaline junkie who can’t keep his hands to himself.

    So why does the sight of this guy make me want to drop to my knees?

    This guy could practically snap me with those massive arms and his double-wide hands. It’s primal. It’s disgusting.

    So why do I want it?

    He makes headlines with his strong fists and fast women. He discards everyone and everything. I’m a smart girl—too smart to set myself up.

    So why am I dying for him to knock me down?

    Griffin

    She’s just another clean-cut girl hoping to piss off daddy by bringing a bruiser like me around.

    Still, I’d like to see that uptight little suit on my bedroom floor.

    She thinks she’s smarter than me. I wanna take her down a notch. In fact, I wanna take her all the way down.

    A girl like that is just aching to be broken by a man like me.

    She seems so pure, so untouched—more likely to curl up with a book than a man.

    But we’ll see how much she feels like reading after I’m behind her with a fistful of that gorgeous hair.

    Go ahead, sweetheart. Roll those beautiful eyes and use that condescending tone on me.

    Soon enough you’ll be tapping out.

      OBEYING GRIFFIN: Below the Belt Trilogy (Book #3)

      By Ashley Hall

      He didn't need a chokehold to take my breath away.

      SADIE

      Griffin

      Ifucked up.

      I didn’t need anyone to tell me that, it had been pretty damn evident the moment I stood in front of a judge, was accused of murder, and had to pony up a million dollars in bail.

      I shouldn’t have been so impulsive. I should have thought twice before I acted, but what was done was done now.

      And I didn’t entirely regret it.

      What I did regret was how much Sadie was now involved.

      I haven’t been afraid much in life. After having a father who beat the fuck out of me, a mother who starved me, and trying to make my own way in the world for the first fifteen years of my life, there wasn’t a lot to be frightened of. Even when I first met Riley, a man twice my size with a scowl even scarier than my old man’s, I wasn’t scared.

      I expected a beating...and could never have imagined what I actually got.

      Since I stared fighting in professional rings, I didn’t really fear losing. Sure, I didn’t like the idea of losing the notoriety I shed blood and sweat to earn, but the idea that someone was better than me didn’t intimidate me as much as it should. Riley was worried I didn’t care enough about the competition, but at the end of the day, I was in the MMA business because I liked to hit things.

      I had always liked to hit things.

      But now, for the first time in a long time, I was scared shitless.

      Sure, I did what needed to be done, but it had almost cost me Sadie.

      The look on her face as she saw me come down the courtroom steps...it was enough to make me want to throw up. Fear, worry, shock...I wished to God I’d been able to tell her myself. She had to learn by seeing me on the news, where they could screw all the information and make it sound like I was a goddamned criminal mastermind.

      The media was always after me; and if they didn’t capture my success, they damn well wanted to be on the front line for my fuck-ups.

      All week, I lay low as I watched my name smeared over and speculated upon on every channel I tried to watch. It was too much to even think of going to the gym. The first time I tried after the court date, I was so swamped with media that Riley had to yank me indoors before I cracked a few skulls.

      The last thing I wanted was to add to the body count, but flashing cameras never helped my goddamned temper

      The only thing that helped was Sadie.

      And I hadn’t seen her in seven goddamn days.

      Sinking into an armchair in front of my TV, I sipped at my glass of scotch and enjoyed the slow burn down my throat. It had been so long since my fist made contact with anything solid that I was all but climbing the walls, but I couldn’t bring myself to use my home gym. I was too wrapped up in what the hell I was doing with someone like Sadie goddamned Warner.

      It had to be her, didn’t it? Tall, blonde, mouthwatering, and braver than I’d ever imagined. I thought for sure the moment the cops took me that anything I had dreamed about with Sadie was over. She’d never want to speak to me again. Just remembering the prim, tight posture she had the first time we met—she was affronted by what I did and who I was.

      And now I was a goddamned murderer.

      Sweet Sadie didn’t need to be hanging around with my kind.

      But she’d gone and shocked me—which, I had to admit, she did a damn sight more than I expected.

      She went looking for me.

      According to Riley, she showed up at the police station before the hearing and followed him to the courthouse. She waited on the steps while I took my walk of shame.

      I was just trying to figure out why the hell she’d do such a thing.

      Sadie didn’t go looking for trouble. It wasn’t her thing. Granted, she could be a wild little minx in bed, but that kind of thing had to be coaxed out of her.

      And yet...she ran into danger looking for me.

      When I saw her standing at the edge
