Sweetest Obsessions - Anthology

by Anthony, Jane

  Her lips captured his, more passionately this time; it felt like her positive response to him pouring out his feelings. Although they didn’t go past kissing one another, it was plenty for them both as they kissed for hours, engaging in romantic conversation between kisses.

  David never slept. He paced in his apartment the rest of the night, revisiting the kiss he’d witnessed between Heath and Lavin. He stopped the video feed with their kiss; he couldn’t watch beyond it. His anger rose, and he wanted to shatter the screen at first, but the nearest wall was more fitting. A large hole was newly displayed on the wall near the bathroom. The kiss he’d viewed was tender, passionate, romantic, and real. He was furious. He could only hope Heath further seduced her and tossed her out before morning. David would take her in. In his mind, he knew that was the outcome. He didn’t want to put himself through watching Heath’s dick pounding Lavin. She was his. Though he would have to endure the tears Lavin shed on behalf of Heath, he would wipe them away and offer his care to ensure she was his once and forever more. David had planned on asking Lavin to move in with him. He was still hopeful. “Maybe she will realize Heath is not a big deal. If she doesn’t, she will realize it when I expose him.”

  Heath and Lavin talked and kissed until the sun rose. She desperately needed some sleep, and although she would have loved that in his arms, she left for her own room. They’d promised one another a real date the night after the restaurant closed. That was when everyone cleared out of the dorms for the season. Their parting kiss was not a departure but a new beginning.

  Holding her heels and walking down the hall, she held her head high, although fatigue had settled in, and her full heart floated her to her room. She fell onto her bed, fully dressed, savoring his every compliment, touch, and whispered word of how he loved her. Best night ever was her final thought as her eyelids closed.

  Heath tried to stay composed. During their talk, Lavin spilled the information on what David was doing: Filming Heath’s every move. Anger had brewed inside him, but he hadn’t wanted to ruin his time with Lavin. He tamped down his initial plan to kill David; he’d would seek him out very soon and confront him. Heath knew too that there was a camera in the room, and he hoped that David had witnessed him and Lavin kissing. He knew that would send him over the edge.

  Several times, Lavin had tried to offer suggestions on how to handle the situation, but Heath had asked her not to right then. “Tonight, is for us alone; let’s not bring trash into our conversation.” Lavin had agreed with him, and they’d enjoyed one another and all the hours that ticked by. Tomorrow, Heath would learn of Lavin’s plan, one she’d said was already in motion. She put the rest aside for another day and seemed to soak in her happiness of the moment.

  The morning light of a new day had Heath bursting into David’s office. He hadn’t known Lavin’s plan and was hoping he wasn’t ruining it, but David needed his shit jacked up. Heath didn’t give David a moment to welcome him. Heath shouted, “You fucking son of bitch!” The first blow struck David’s jaw.

  Heath was ready for the second when David hollered, “Hit me, hurt me, it doesn’t matter; you’re through.” Blood dripped from the corner of David’s mouth.

  “No, you are done; she’s with me. Lavin will never be with you again!”

  “That’s where you are wrong, boy. I’m the smarter man. All your sexual acts are going to be exposed; I have been filming you for a long time. I’ve sent video proof of your sexual activities in the restaurant to the editor of the newspaper to view and expose who you really are to all.”

  Heath was unaware David had gone that far. Lavin had only told him he was the subject of many videos. She’d confided in Heath that she’d seen several, but time hadn’t allowed her get through the vast list of files on David’s computer. Just to unwind his second attack, he knocked David back into his desk chair. Heath didn’t care about David hitting him. He had no sympathy for the blood that continued to drip from his mouth. Heath was afraid of losing Lavin once all the videos were released and public scrutiny zeroed in on him and the restaurant his father had built. He couldn’t turn back time and wish she’d told him sooner. The damage was done. He didn’t want her or his family involved in that. He had to think of what to do to halt them from hurting further. With that weighing heavily on his mind, he would try to play it off when he saw Lavin later today.

  David told the staff he’d walked head first into the freezer door. He was sporting blackened skin surrounding his mouth that was painful, but he smiled through it with sweet satisfaction of Heath’s forthcoming outing.

  Lavin and Heath spent the afternoon together. Heath prepared her lunch from the restaurant kitchen, and they sat outside enjoying the weather and focusing on one another. Midway through the meal, Lavin told Heath she had something to tell him. “I hope you can forgive me first for not sharing with you all the details of what David was doing. But I will tell you why I couldn’t.” Heath’s curiosity was piqued. While she spoke, he tried to think of how to tell her what was about to go down. Surely, the paper had received the package and was preparing to release the videos. “Heath, I went to Tyra first; I know now I should have come to you immediately, I owed you that. She and I thought of how to stop him, stop the madness David was creating.”

  Heath frowned and disappointment rose inside him. Lavin had told her closest friend first and not included him.

  “She and I fixed it though. We turned the tables. Please believe me. Our plan will work; it has to.” Her voice pleaded for understanding.

  Heath heard what she said but was at a loss to its meaning. “How could this possibly be turned around and come out good?” He was showing his vulnerable side to Lavin. Lavin wouldn’t be the only person embarrassed; he knew his father would be outraged at his behavior.

  “We came up with a plan. Believe in me.”

  “Lavin, you girls are smart, but in this case, I think David outsmarted us all.”

  Lavin comforted Heath by pulling his lips to hers. Her lunch sat unfinished; it was Heath she was hungry for. Between kisses, she shared their plan. His lips felt reassuring on hers; they were comforting for all the issues they had at stake.

  Heath wrapped his arms around her neck and pressed his lips to hers again. Relief washed over him, and he knew then it was going to be fine. Lavin had come up with a perfect way of spinning all this back on David. Heath believed their engineered course of action could really work and for his benefit.

  Present Summer Season – Day after Arden’s closed

  Up Close and Personal Viewing

  Heath and Lavin avoided David as best as they could during the closing of the restaurant. Acting like nothing was out of the ordinary, David left his employees after giving them a final meeting speech. “It has been another fine summer season.” He thanked them for their service and walked back to his office. There he could drop the fake smile and show how defeated he felt. He couldn’t lose to Heath; that was unheard of in his mind. His plan was well thought out. Turning on his computer, he folded himself in to his chair. Skipping through random videos he kept on the computer, he got hard. He selected the video that would have been recorded of Heath and Lavin’s blissful first evening together. The one video that would have captured Heath and Lavin’s conversation and her pouring her heart out to him.

  He wanted to see them have sex and then watch Heath turn away from her and her distraught look as she exited Heath’s room. David prepared himself for the viewing. One where Heath would conquer Lavin’s body, and they would have sex. Trying not to hear their conversation again in his head, he had heard too much already between the two. He watched the video feed closely. Initially, he wanted to press the keys to fast forward the show and get to their ending and parting ways, but he persevered through the entire video. David’s assumption of the night was dead wrong. They never had sex. David worked himself into a rock-hard cock just viewing Lavin in the yellow sundress lying on the bed talking to Heath.

  Fr
om the camera angle, David caught a view of her panties when she shifted her legs. He wanted to be between her legs again. He longed for her to relieve his hard-on. The more he watched, the more he began to imagine her touch. He put his hand into his pants and wrapped his fingers firmly around himself. Jerking himself hard and viewing Heath touching her so passionately, he kept a rhythm going, pleasing himself for a long while. “Lavin, you are mine!” he exclaimed to the screen. “Mine! You do this to me. You have me coming undone. I love you Lavin. I—” David couldn’t finish the words as the rush of semen exploded all over his hand. The warm liquid flowed down his wrist. Calming his breathing, he knew he needed to get up and clean himself. He looked away from the screen toward the bathroom. He could stop the video and watch the rest after washing himself. He knew there had to be a bitter end to the romantic evening he was viewing.

  Pushing back his chair, his gaze veered to his office door. He’d forgotten to shut it, and he was not alone. Enzo Harrison stood in the doorway. Heath’s father had just watched his general manager cum all over himself while viewing something on his computer. David could tell Enzo was furious.

  “Mr. Harrison, I can explain. Let me clean up. There is an explanation coming.” Enzo didn’t speak. His eyes bored through David. Hurriedly, David entered the bathroom, cleaned up, and came out, trying to be overly friendly.

  “Mr. Harrison, you look well. The summer has been kind to you. To what do I owe this visit?”

  “David, you’re finished.”

  “No, Mr. Harrison, wait, it’s your son that is going down. I can explain. He has been a thorn in the side of this entire restaurant. Lewd acts and not keeping his dick in his pants in the restaurant. I have been frustrated with him for two seasons.”

  “David, excuse me, but you didn’t display any self-control just now.”

  Behind Enzo stood two police officers. “Gentlemen, he is all yours. Kindly remove this trash from my establishment.”

  David pulled his body away from the officer’s grip. “You have this all wrong.”

  Enzo walked around to see David’s computer screen. He watched the touching scene between his son and Lavin. He was proud of what he saw. He had received a personal email from Lavin, nervous that she would lose her job, but she’d stated David was coming on to her, and he’d made improper comments about the newly hired female employees. She’d told Enzo she appreciated working with his son and what a fine and smart man he was. She’d said she feared David was trying to get rid of Heath and set him up to fail.

  At first, Enzo hadn’t planned to answer her email, pushing it onto another staff member to follow up on, until it became clear it was about his son. He had to look into his family being threatened, and clearly, something in Lavin’s words told him she cared deeply about his son. He wanted his son to excel and perform at his best and keep the restaurant going for years to come.

  Instead of responding to Lavin’s email, Enzo had decided to visit the restaurant and see for himself. Just two days ago, he’d received a package from the editor of the paper, a man who respected him and wanted to show him the information he’d received requesting a story be aired. Arden’s was a fine place for the community, bringing in lots of tourists, and the editor didn’t want that reputation tarnished.

  Enzo met with the editor and viewed the videos, the set Lavin and Tyra switched out as part of their plan. Each one was aimed at David’s desk where he often jerked himself off. Where he played with his dick while across the desk he interviewed a new girl for the staff. When the applicant exited, David would describe what he would love to do that one or the other one.

  Enzo paid a nice sum to the editor, donated to the paper, and took the package into his possession. He had plenty of evidence to get rid of David and move his son up the ladder to General Manger.

  Lavin watched the police remove David from the property. She knew then her plan had worked. One night, while Lavin enticed David away from his office, Tyra had hired someone to install cameras at every angle in his office, claiming the general manager wanted to assure his safety during the late evenings, especially with the amount of cash the restaurant took in nightly. Lavin had quickly swapped out the letter to the editor with her own and switched his videos with new ones displaying David’s actions. She had only one moment to do this—after David was called to the kitchen—making certain to switch his outbound mail with her similar package. Lavin’s anger fueled her to follow through as she ripped David’s envelope open. Her fingers were trembling as she pushed the contents of David’s correspondence through his office shredder.

  Tyra had her sister Tegan make certain it was delivered to the editor and no one in between. Since Tegan’s boyfriend worked closely with the editor that was a smooth task.

  Earlier in the week, unbeknownst to Lavin or the others, the editor’s eyes had scanned the contents of the package David had hyped. The editor had known it would put Arden’s in an unfavorable light. This was one story he needed to bury deep under the rug. He had to alert the owner. Enzo Harrison needed to see what had been sent to him. “He is a sick man. To think all this has been happening while he’s run the restaurant all these years. I guess you never really know someone like you think you do,” the editor had said when he’d contacted Enzo.

  Epilogue

  Less than a month after the ordeal with David, Lavin and Heath were moving forward and not looking back. Two seasons had passed where they should have been together and not with those they had no feelings for.

  They had recently moved into a very comfortable apartment in town. Together, they would buy some new furnishings to make it more their own. Initially, they’d brought to it what they both had. The location was between Lavin’s university and the restaurant. Next year, neither would be living in the dorms, visiting the dorms, or thinking of anything that ever happened in the dorms.

  “I…love…you.” Heath was out of breath, leaning over Lavin.

  Lavin was spread out on their new bed. They’d just carried up the mattress and box spring from the lower floor up two levels. The steps were many and the turn at the top of the hallway was tight. “I love you too, but look at us; we’re really out of shape. Exhausted from just carrying a mattress up some stairs.” She laughed.

  Heath lowered his body and pressed his lips to hers, still amused. “Correction: not some stairs, some steep stairs. I felt like I was climbing the Mayan Ruins.” Heath devilishly smiled. “Well, my lovely Lavin, I think I have an idea how we can get in shape, and we can start now.”

  Without any fanfare, scattered rose petals, warm candlelight, chilled Champagne, lovely bedding, satin sheets, or sexy lingerie…they got lost in one another.

  Heath hands roamed playfully, taking each piece of clothing that Lavin wore and tossing it to the floor, including the pale-yellow top that he’d been sweet on all day. Heath smiled. His pleased look was for his girl wearing it, and that it was a bit snug over her large tits. Both brought Heath a happier expression. Lavin’s shirt was the first piece of clothing he detached from her body and sent flying into the air. He admired what appeared before him.

  “This is my exercise warm-up.”

  “Well, I think we should dedicate at least an hour to getting ourselves in shape,” Lavin teased.

  “Just an hour? I plan on this entire night and all those that follow.”

  Although they’d previously made love, this was different. This was christening their bed. Heath removed his jeans and shirt in seconds. The pile of clothing on the floor had grown and so had Heath’s hardened cock. He found a sweet spot, resting his tired head in between her large, perky cushioned tits. No pillow would do for him after having this resting place. Now though was not the time to rest. He kissed her nipples, and his tongue lingered there as his desire grew.

  Beads of sweat rolled off Heath’s forehead as he thrust his cock deep inside Lavin, then almost pulling out. He didn’t want to cum. If possible, he would have kept this up all night, but when he caught her eyes sweet
ly pleading with him for more, he gave her his all. Hell, she had him, all of him. Heath came hard, and Lavin screamed out loudly as her orgasm matched his. They shuddered together and remained connected, their sweat casting a sheen over their skin. What Lavin saw next would stay with her forever.

  Heath’s look was filled with warm, loving, glistening eyes that searched hers. She could see his happiness matched hers. She was content. She’d known all along that she could bring a different look to his lost eyes and searching heart.

  Three months passed, and Arden’s was still closed for the season. Tonight though, Heath and Lavin returned to make certain the restaurant was ready for the winter season, not certain of David’s attention to winterizing the place with all that happened.

  Both were glad to be rid of the trash from Arden’s. Not the scraps of food and empty wine bottles, but David Straub. Where he went off to no one knew nor cared. Without a fine reference for all his years at the restaurant, he would be lucky to flip burgers in a fast food establishment.

  On their ride in her Jeep, they’d recounted many days that stood out to each of them in the past few months of their journey. They had fallen head over heels with one another, and the long venture surely represented their travels to reach one another’s heart.

  Once at the restaurant and parked in front, to make certain everything was in order for the cold months ahead. After a complete inspection and the checklist signed off, Heath joined Lavin, who was seated with her feet dangling off the bar top. He picked her up and spun her. “Everything is ready for the cold; how about you and I head back?” He tightened his hold on her and let her feet touch the floor. “First though, I need some more of your kisses to fuel me for the return trip.”
