Kicked out of the house, Sebastian leaves, leaving Meik alone with demons of his past tormenting him. Although the man needs time to cool down after the outbreak of anger caused by painful memories, such a possibility is not given to him, as Sebastian's secrets come to light, transforming Meik into an extremely dangerous, wounded beast. From the beginning, the man only wanted to have fun and sex without obligations, but is it still like this? Is the arrangement between Meik and Sebastian still able to satisfy all their desires? What if both of them expect more from each other than they think?
What can I say, the third part of "Meik&Sebastian – Obsessed" is a real emotional roller coaster. First of all, just like before, some flashbacks appear here, although, I feel that at the moment they not only allow us to get to know Meik from the past better, but in some way they also have been used to torture the poor reader. This is because when reading about Meik and Gabe's past, we are fully aware that all those moments filled with love lead us inexorably towards the drama. They are beautiful, romantic and touching, but at the same time they make us tense as we are constantly on guard, because we know that this idyll can end at any moment. What's more, the present events in the story evokes in us just as many emotion. We are dealing here with another dose of to some extent romantic scenes and even wilder sex, which makes us smile and speeds up our heartbeat. However, the authors do not allow us to float on a cloud of sweetness and eroticism for too long. There are moments when we are painfully falling on the ground, where we are surrounded by sadness, anger and even disappointment with Meik's behavior.
And since I mentioned Meik and partly his creations, I will stick a little longer to this subject, because in this part of "Meik&Sebastian – Obsessed" this protagonist is an advantage even greater than before. I have the impression that in this installment we can clearly see how complex and complicated character he is. On the one hand, a gentle and loving part of his nature is presented, his protectiveness, care, willingness to make others happy. On the other, we see how he justifies all these positive qualities of his with the desire to achieve greater benefits, and what's more, he presents himself to us as a really brutal person. Nevertheless, we are aware that by incessantly lying to himself, this extremely stubborn alpha male at all costs tries to stick to the role he chose for himself and he struggles with love he starts to feel. It should be noted, however, that unlike the readers, Meik to some extent doesn't actually realize that he falls into the trapped of self-deception and brutality by running away from his feelings. There is no doubt that he is an intelligent person, but sometimes he is simply dumb. And to tell the truth, we love him also for this reason.
I think it is worth mentioning that in the third installment of Meik and Sebastian's story, the authors quite successfully manage to overcome the limitations imposed by the narration. Although the narrator focuses entirely on Meik, we have the opportunity to get to know Sebastian a little closer, just when the questions about who he actually is begin to bother us more and more often. The more so because the young musician is still a mystery and an unknown to us, just like to the main character. Therefore, the more important is the fact that in some parts of this short story, we finally have an insight into Sebastian's thoughts and feelings, which the boy expresses in both words and, above all, behavior – by being sad or happy, by putting effort into the time he spends with Meik. So, if we thought Sebastian is a sweetie, but we had some doubts about the sincerity of this part of his personality, now we have a clear proof that the innocence and sweetness of the young musician are real and sincere. And all this in accordance with the narrative adopted at the beginning of this story.
In conclusion, the third part of "Meik&Sebastian – Obsessed" is another small masterpiece, which strengthens our love for this series and its characters. The authors take us on an incredible emotional roller coaster ride and do not spare our poor hearts even for a moment. From the beginning to the end, we read this story with bated breath and we simply can't put it away even for a second. So if you have not read "Meik&Sebastian – Obsessed" yet, then you have to make up for it! It's really worth it!

Excerpt
For a moment their eyes bored into each other. Sebastian looked as angry as Meik felt. His eyes were on fire, cheeks flushed red. Those full pink lips trembled with fury. They were in a standoff, imprisoned by the electricity shooting between them.
Sebastian made the first move.
The palms of his hands slammed against Meik’s shoulders, his shove doing nothing to the solidly built blond. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” Sebastian hissed at him. “I was in the middle of something.”
Meik pressed harder against Sebastian’s shoulder. “What? Whoring yourself out to more people?” he spat, voice vibrating with possessive rage. “Do you tell all of them you’re a fucking virgin too?”
Confusion replaced anger and Sebastian looked up at him. “The fuck are you talking about?” he countered, lips twisting into a disgusted grimace.
Shooting his hand up, Meik pressed his fingers into Sebastian’s jaw. “I saw your criminal record.” When Sebastian attempted to turn his head to the side, Meik forced his attention up, yanking his head back and digging his fingers into his jaw. He held his eyes with furious intensity even as he thumped Sebastian’s head against the bricks. “Vagrancy and shoplifting, I expected. But prostitution? You were trying to fucking play me! That whole virgin shtick was fucking clever. It’s been a long time since someone pulled the wool over my eyes.”
“Oh, fuck you. I’m not a fucking liar.” Sebastian’s fingers moved to wrap around Meik’s wrist, slipping underneath the sleeve of his jacket and digging his nails into his skin. “You’re here trying to act all high-and-mighty, but you’re the one who paid for a blow job. You have no right to fucking judge me.”
Before he thought it through, Meik’s hand slapped a red handprint across Sebastian’s cheek. His head turned from the force of it, eyes closing tightly, a whimper falling from his lips.
“I did not pay for a blowjob! I paid for a song. You were so fucking eager to get on your knees. Fuck, with how eager I should have known you were nothing more than a whore.” A muscle in Meik’s jaw twitched at how hard he ground it.
Sebastian shook his head as much as he could given the position he was in. “You’re unbelievable! You don’t care about me. You don’t even ask for my fucking last name. You don’t ask me anything about myself. You don’t ask me...anything. You order me about and fuck me. And then you’re surprised when there’s shit about me you don’t know? Surprise, surprise!”
He made a good point, but it only stoked the fires of Meik’s rage. He inhaled deeply to stifle his overheating emotions; it didn’t help. Meik’s hands moved, fingers twisting in the collar of Sebastian’s jacket. Lifting him off of the wall, Meik forced him back against it, pinning him with all of his weight. “You lied! So why would what you say matter? You’d lie some more!” He was on the edge of shouting, his voice echoing off the tall walls of the alleyway.
“I. Didn’t. Lie.”
