Eric Swanson
Eric Swanson is 23 years old; he graduated from college a little over a year ago and is engaged to his college girlfriend, Kayla. He is in Miami for a job interview. He has worked for his fiancé’s father since he finished college, while the job is okay, he wants to get a job on his own merit. He got the job at his future father-in-law’s company simply because he gave his daughter an engagement ring.
Neither Kayla nor her father knew that Eric was looking for a job, let alone for one in Miami. He currently lives in Chicago. He would love to escape the midwestern winters and is originally from Dallas. He only moved to Chicago because of Kayla.
They met in their junior year of college; Kayla was the one to ask him out on their first date. They had talked at a party hosted by a mutual friend. A couple of days later, she called Eric and before he even knew what was happening, they were dating. Kayla has always been a take charge kind of person and decided that she wanted Eric, so she has told him what to do ever since that first date. He actually tried breaking up with her on more than one occasion, but she was not having it. She told him that after he had worked for her father for a year, they would be getting married. As he always had done, he just nodded and said, yes dear.
For the last few years, Eric has been hiding a secret from Kayla, well actually from everybody. Eric has always been attracted to other men. He actually has known that he was gay for much longer than that, but because of his conservative upbringing, he has not worked up the courage to tell anyone. He was a virgin when he started college but had his first sexual experience within the first month. It was with an older guy that lived in dorm, down the hall from Eric. The other guy was a senior and had left his door slightly open as he was jacking off. Eric paused by the door to watch and the guy invited him in. They only performed oral sex on each other, but Eric knew he liked it. The only other person that he has ever had sex with is Kayla, and to be honest, it’s not that great.
Eric had signed up with a corporate recruiter a little over a month ago. He stressed to the recruiter that he wanted his job search to remain confidential. He explained to the recruiter that he liked his job, and he would be quickly promoted because of his relationship with the boss’s daughter. Eric told him that he wanted to advance in his career for his work, not because of who he was. Kayla’s older sister’s husband also worked for her father and has already been promoted ahead of some other employees with more experience. He had heard a few employees talk about Eric being promoted too. He tried to hide the fact that he was dating Kayla when he first started working, but Kayla paid him a visit one day and by the time she left, everyone knew the truth.
When the recruiter asked if Eric was willing to relocate, Eric jumped at the chance. He knew Kayla would never move away from her family, maybe this was his chance to break free of her. When the recruiter mentioned Miami, Eric was even happier. He had visited there with his family when he was in high school and loved the city. The recruiter sent his resume to the company in Miami and a week later, Eric had an interview.
He told Kayla that his dad was having minor surgery and his mother wanted him to come to Dallas just in case something went wrong. Thankfully, Kayla’s friend was having a girls night out for her birthday and if Kayla went with Eric, she would not be back in time for the party. Instead of booking a flight to Dallas, Eric soon had a ticket to Miami. He wasn’t sure how Kayla would react if he actually got the job, but he would worry about that if the time came.
Eric arrived in Miami a little after 4:00 on Wednesday, he had reservations for Wednesday night at the Elser Hotel. His job interview was at 10:00 on Thursday, and he was scheduled to fly back to Chicago on Friday morning. He smiled all the way from the airport to the hotel; the city was just as great as he remembered from his last visit. He had also done his research on the company that he was interviewing with, they were a well-run and respected firm. He really hoped he would do well in his interview.
Eric smiled at the desk clerk as he walked into the Elser Hotel. The clerk, Marla, returned his smile, “Good afternoon, sir. Are you checking in today?”
He nodded, “Yes, Eric Swanson, I have reservations for two nights.”
Marla began typing on her keyboard, she smiled, “Yes, here you are. Will you be using the credit card you reserved the room with?”
He said, “Yes please.”
While she was typing away, she made small talk with Eric, just as she does with all the hotel guest she checks in.
She asked, “Is this a business or pleasure trip, Mr. Swanson?”
He said, "I’m in town for a job interview.”
She smiled, “Well, good luck then.”
She finished entering all of Eric’s information on the computer and handed him his key card.
Marla said, “Again, good luck on the interview tomorrow, we have you in room 915. My name is Marla, if you need anything, don’t hesitate to call the front desk. Enjoy your stay.”
Eric thanked her and caught the elevator to the nineth floor and found his room just a few doors down the hall. He quickly pulled his suit out of his bag and hung it up, thankfully it wasn’t wrinkled. By the time he finished unpacking, he freshened up and decided to go downstairs to get something to eat. He chose one of the casual restaurants just down the hall from the main lobby. He wasn’t too hungry, so he just had a sandwich and chips.
He checked the time as he walked out of the restaurant, it was a little before 7. Suddenly a beer sounded good right now. He walked across the lobby to the bar and took a seat at the bar. The bartender took his order and soon set a frosted glass in front of him. It did hit the spot, one or two beers always helped Eric sleep.
Just as he set his glass down after his second sip, Eric noticed an attractive man take a seat at the bar. He left a seat between him and Eric and ordered a beer; the two men exchanged a smile and nod of the head to greet each other. Eric couldn’t help but sneak another look. The man was about 5’10, and his perfect white teeth were a nice contrast to his smooth ebony skin. His short cropped black hair and dark brown eyes only enhanced his appearance. The short black whiskers that adorned his chin and the single hoop earring gave him the sexy look that always turned Eric on.
As the man took his first sip of beer, his phone signaled an incoming text. The man ran his thumb across his phone screen and let out a deep sigh. He rolled his eyes as he started to hit the screen with his thumbs, typing his reply. The man set his phone down as he picked up his glass for another sip of beer. He clearly looked annoyed.
Eric swallowed hard, trying to work up the courage to talk to the stranger. He asked, “Is everything okay?” He surprised himself; he usually wasn’t the one to initiate a conversation.
The man smiled again, he had the cutest smile. He said, “My buddy just bailed on me. I guess his flight was cancelled, we were supposed to meet for a beer.”
Eric said, “I’m sorry. Where was he flying in from?”
The man replied, “He was coming from Boston. He knew his flight was cancelled hours ago, if he would have called me earlier, I could have made other plans.”
Again, Eric said, “I’m sorry.”
The man chuckled, “It’s not your fault, but thank you.”
Eric just stared into the man’s eye’s, God they were beautiful. He was still not sure where the courage was coming from, but he wanted to keep the conversation with this gorgeous man going.
Eric said, “Well, you already have a beer, I’m staying in the hotel and have no one to talk to either. If you want, we can keep each other company.” Eric took a deep breath, damn, did that sound lame?
The man flashed that killer smile again, “Sure, I would like that. It’s too late to do anything else anyway.” He held out his hand as he moved to the seat next to Eric.
He said, “I’m Seth.”
Eric shook his hand, “Eric, it’s nice to meet you.”
Seth asked, “Where are you from, Eric?”
Eric replied, “I live in Chicago right now, but am originally from Dallas. How about you?”
Seth took another sip of his beer, “Miami, born and raised. What are you doing in town?”
Eric said, “I have a job interview at Anderson and Associates tomorrow.”
Seth nodded, “They are a great company. Good luck with your interview. Does that mean you are looking to move to Miami?”
Eric nodded, “If I get the job. I would love to live here and get away from the winters in Chicago.”
Seth chuckled, “Yeah, I’ve heard about winters in the Midwest, I think I’ll stay in the south.
Eric and Seth talked about their jobs for the next hour. They ordered another beer and Eric was really enjoying their conversation. It was so nice to talk to someone that listened to him, Kayla had always dominated their talks, and Eric barely was able to get a word in edgewise. Eric was finding himself getting lost in Seth’s gorgeous eyes as the evening went on. That infectious smile didn’t hurt either, Eric just couldn’t look away from Seth.
As they finished their beer, Eric looked at the time, it was after 9. Eric was finding himself more confident and daring. Maybe it was knowing that Kayla couldn’t interrupt his night, maybe it was that Seth seemed like such a great guy. Eric took a deep breath and again found courage he never knew he had.
He asked, “Would you like to continue talking up in my room? Unless you have to get going?”
Seth smirked, “I would like that, very much.”
Even though neither of them had talked about their relationship status, Eric just had a feeling that Seth might be interested in him. When Seth accepted his invitation, Eric’s heart skipped a beat. They both finished their beer and walked to the elevator.
As soon as the elevator doors closed, Seth pulled Eric in for a kiss. Erics eyes went wide as their lips met. He quickly melted into Seth’s arms as Seth’s tongue snaked into Eric’s mouth and Eric’s tongue began to push back. Just as the bell signaling the elevator’s arrival to the nineth floor, they broke their kiss.
Seth grinned, “I liked that.”
Eric panted, “Yeah, I did too.”
They stepped off the elevator and Eric opened the door to his room. They again locked their lips together for another passionate kiss, pulling at each other’s clothes as they moved their way to the bed. Two hard cocks began to duel as the pair fell onto the bed, precum leaking all over their heaving stomachs. The lust between Eric and Seth was more powerful than either man had ever felt before.
Eric had landed on top of Seth and reluctantly broke their kiss. He kissed his way down Seth’s neck then on to his chest. He stopped to give each of Seth’s Hersey Kiss nipples a little extra attention. Seth groaned as Eric moved further down and kissed his cute little outie belly button.
Eric’s eyes widen as he got his first close up look and the most beautiful chocolate cock he has ever seen. Well, to be honest, it was the first black cock he had ever seen in person. The only other man that Eric had been with was white. Eric tentatively wrapped his fingers around Seth’s manhood,, studying every vein. God, Eric never realized that another man’s penis could be so beautiful. Seth was only slightly longer than Eric and was just a bit thinner.
Eric licked his lips as he saw a creamy pearl of precum appear on Seth’s broad mushroom shaped dick. The only other time that Eric was with another man was just a quick blow job, he didn’t really have time to enjoy the experience. He didn’t know if he was ever going to get another chance, so he was going to take his time and enjoy it this time.
Eric flicked his tongue out to grab the dollop from Seth’s head and immediately swallowed it, savoring the salty sweet flavor. He was hooked and wanted more. Eric took Seth into his mouth and sucked more precum from his perfect dick. More of Seth’s juices flowed, causing Eric’s taste buds to dance. Eric exuberance caused him to go a little too deep and he gagged as tears ran from his eyes.
Seth smiled, “Relax, it’s not a race and you don’t have to take it all for it to feel good.”
Eric wiped the slobber from his mouth as he went back to work. This time he was taking about half of Seth’s member and both men were enjoying every minute of the oral session. Seth had moved his hands to the back of Eric’s head to help set the pace. In a matter of minutes, Seth was pulling Eric off his cock and up for another kiss.
Eric looked at Seth and Seth smiled, “You did great, you had me close to cuming. I want to suck you now.”
Eric nearly shot his load right then, He remembered how good getting his cock sucked felt from his first experience. Kayla only sucked him once, she thought it was gross and Eric wasn’t impressed with her skills anyway. Seth rolled Eric onto his back and gave him another kiss before he moved down to give Eric his first real blow job.
Eric shuddered as his cock hit the back of Seth’s throat. He liked the blow job he had received back in college, but this one was off the charts. Eric moaned as his hands went to the back of Seth’s head. Damn, Seth knew how to make a man feel good. Seth’s spit ran down Erics rod and began to coat his nuts. Seth reached up and started to massage Eric’s balls, only adding to the pleasure. He was soon on the verge of climax.
Seth released Eric’s cock and started to lick and suck Eric’s cum-filled nuts. Eric sighed when Seth didn’t stop there. Seth pushed Eric’s legs up and his tongue found the opening to Eric’s love tunnel. Eric nearly jumped out of his skin at the new sensation. He vaguely remembered seeing some guys do that when he watched a porn video but hadn’t had a chance to experience it for himself. Hell, he didn’t get a chance to even watch those kinds of movies anymore, Kayla kept a pretty tight leash on all of his activities. Eric sighed as he realized what he had been missing.
Seth noticed Eric’s reaction, he grinned, “Do you like that?”
Eric panted, “God, yes. That feels incredible.”
Seth immediately went back to work pleasing his new friend. Eric began to stroke himself and once again had himself close to cumming. Seth stopped him before it was too late. Seth came up for another kiss, then Eric asked, “Can I try to do that to you?”
Seth smiled, “Sure, you can do whatever you want.”
Seth moved to his hands and knees and lowered his head the bed, exposing his blooming rosebud. Eric paused for a moment to take in the sight before him, why had he not noticed how beautiful a man’s body could be. Eric immediately licked the chocolate hole that was displayed before him. God, he tasted so good. Eric’s instincts kicked and was soon trying to fuck Seth with his tongue. Eric was only encouraged by the moans and groans that Seth was uttering.
Seth finally panted, “I need you to fuck me.”
Eric was a bit shocked, he wasn’t sure where tonight was going, but he didn’t really expect this. Eric said, “I didn’t bring any condoms or lube.”
Seth grinned as he jumped off the bed and pulled the needed supplies from his pants pocket. He blushed and said, “I was planning on using these on my friend tonight.” Seth shrugged, “I guess it’s his loss.”
Seth opened the condom and walked back over to Eric. Seth leaned down to give Eric’s cock a few more sucks, just to get him fully hard, although that was not necessary. Eric had never been this hard in his life. Seth rolled the condom onto Eric and applied a generous amount of lube. He also reached back and spread some lube on his anxious hole.
Seth climbed on the bed and rolled onto his back; he wanted to see Eric’s face as he fucked him. He pulled his legs up in the air and Eric nervously joined him on the bed. Seth pulled Eric down for a kiss as he grabbed Eric’s cock to guide it home. After the initial penetration, Seth held onto Eric’s hips as Eric began to piston in and out.
Both men’s eyes rolled back in their heads and were both in a state of pure ecstasy. Fucking Kayla had never felt this good. Eric was soon out of control and was pounding Seth. Seth was loving every minute of it; it had been so long since he had a good pounding. Seth felt his nuts tighten; Eric was hitting that special place with every stroke. Seth panted, “I’m going to shoot.” And he did, all over their chests and abs.
Seth’s ass muscles constricting on Eric’s sensitive love stick pushed Eric over the edge. His cock was soon filling the condom with a gallon of his love juices. The pair locked their lips together again as they seemed to melt into one pile of sweat covered flesh. They finished kissing as Eric’s deflating cock slipped from Seth’s well fucked hole. Eric rolled beside Seth as they tried to catch their breath.
Seth asked, “Is that the first time you ever had sex with another man?”
Eric felt his face turn red, “Um… Well, the first time I went that far.” He explained his college experience.
Seth smiled, “I should have asked, I hope you enjoyed it.”
Eric nodded, “Oh God yes, that was incredible. It’s never that good with my fiancé.”
Seth’s eyes went wide, “Fiancé?”
Once again, Eric’s face was red as he explained about Kayla’s strong personality and he felt trapped in their relationship. Eric also told Seth that he was hoping a new job would mean a fresh start away from Kayla.
Seth asked, “Are you gay or bi?”
Eric sighed, “I think I have always known that I am gay.” He took another deep breath, “God, you are the only person I have told that.”
Seth said, “It’s okay. It took me a while to tell anyone too, but I really think you should tell Kayla before the wedding. You could have a long miserable life if you don’t. Besides, it’s not fair to her, even if she is a bit of a control freak.”
Eric nodded, “I know, whether I get this job or not, I will be having a long talk with her. Especially since I now know how great sex can be with another man.”
The pair got out of bed and showered together. Eric ran his hands over inch of Seth’s body; there was nothing that he didn’t like. Seth also liked everything about Eric’s body. After their shower, they talked for another hour. Seth checked the time, it was 11:00 and Eric said he should get to sleep so he could be rested for his interview.
Eric pulled on his underwear as Seth dressed to leave. Seth put Eric’s phone number into his phone. He said, “Let me know how your interview goes.”
Eric smiled, “I will. Thanks for an enjoyable evening.”
After one final kiss and Seth left. Eric closed the door behind him; his head was spinning. How was he going to tell Kayla about this. He knew that Seth was right, he needed to come clean before it was too late. He turned to go to bed, he knew he needed to get to sleep so he was rested for interview. As Eric was getting ready to go to bed, his phone signaled a text, it was from Seth.
“Good luck with your interview… and everything else.”
Eric smiled and replied, “Thanks.”
Just as he was crawling under the covers, there was a knock at the door. He assumed that Seth must have forgotten something. Eric smiled as he opened the door, a fist hit him in the face and Eric fell against the table and then onto the floor. He grabbed a chair to defend himself and turned to see who was hitting him. The assailant threw the chair to the side and Eric saw his attacker’s hand holding a small club, and everything went dark.
Ollie
On Thursday morning, I went to the station to pick up Elliot. We were going back to the Hotel to see if Jeff, Mark and Kyle had any luck with the surveillance footage. Mark and Kyle were going straight there this morning to resume their task with Jeff.
I checked my email quickly while I waited for Elliot to arrive at the station. He walked in a few minutes later.
He asked, “Any news from Mark or Jeff?”
I shook my head, “Nope, I think we need to go to the hotel just as soon as I finish checking my email.”
Elliot nodded, “Yep, I was thinking the same thing.”
As I responded to an email, I asked, “You didn’t have any great revelations about the case last night, did you?”
He chuckled, “No, I was hoping you did.”
We discussed the details we knew for a few more minutes and agreed that we needed to find something in that footage. We went out to the car to drive to the hotel to meet with Jeff, Mark and Kyle.
As we walked into Jeff’s office, the trio was surrounding the screen on Jeff’s desk.
I said, “Good morning guys, I hate to be a pest, but have you found anything?”
Mark turned to Elliot and I and said, “Yes, we have. I was just getting ready to call you. We found the deleted footage, but it’s not all good news.”
He stood back from the screen so that we could see it as Jeff cued up the scene. There were two people walking down the hall to Cody’s room, they were both wearing black hoodies with the hoods up. One of them knocked on the door and as soon as it opened, they drew back their fist and rushed into the room. The second person entered the room right behind the first person.
About 10 minutes later, the two were back in the hall carrying what we assume is Cody wrapped in the bed spread from the hotel. They didn’t walk toward the elevator, instead they walked in the opposite direction.
Jeff said, “There is a service elevator in that direction, we just found the footage that confirms they used it to get to the main floor. After they got outside, there was an SUV waiting in the area that is used for deliveries. The SUV leaves the hotel property and turns north on 5th Street.”
I sighed, “So we now know that Cody was taken from the hotel by two people. We can’t even tell if they are male or female.”
Elliot asked, “Does any of the footage give us even a little glimpse of the kidnapper’s faces?”
Kyle said, “Not that we could see, but we will take the footage back to the station and look at every frame just to make sure. They had their hoods up and were wearing sunglasses and were smart enough to never look at the cameras.”
I said, “So it seems they may have known where the cameras were located.”
Elliot eyes went wide, “Are you thinking it’s hotel employees?”
I shrugged, “That’s what my gut is telling me. We can’t rule anything out.”
Jeff sighed, “I hate to admit it, but it sure looks that way to me too. I’ll get a full list of employees, but there are about 180 people that work over the three shifts.”
I nodded, “Thanks Jeff. I know it’s going to be a tall task, but we have to start somewhere.”
Just as we were talking about how to narrow our search down, Jeff’s phone signaled an incoming call, he answered it.
Jeff spoke on his phone, “Yes, they’re still here. Why.” He listened and then asked, “What room?” After another short pause, he said, “Don’t touch anything, we’re on our way.”
Jeff ended the call and said, “I don’t know if it’s related to the Cody Williams case, but we have a mess in room 915.”
