(played by Kendra Sunderland) talks about her relationship
with her boyfriend (Tucker Eli) and says, “Things couldn’t be
better.” They’ve got a place in the Hollywood Hills, and when
they’re not working at their cool jobs (he’s a photographer,
she’s a model), they have lots and lots of sex. But things
AAt the beginning of Kendra’s Obsession, the title character
actually could get better … and they do.
Turns out her cute and attentive dream lover has an
interesting sexual quirk. He loves to imagine Kendra having
sex with other guys. “When I talked dirty to him about me
doing other guys, he would go crazy,” Kendra says. “And
seeing him like that, well, it would turn me on too.” That talk
leads straight to action—which is just fine with Kendra.
The first chance comes on the job with another model
(Jason Brown). In the voiceover, Eli leaves the two of them
alone, then texts Kendra a photo of the two of them that he
shoots through the window, giving her subtle permission
to put on a show. So the busty blonde makes her move,
unzipping the African-American model’s pants to find he’s
packing. And he in turn unzips her dress to reveal matching
red bra, panties and a garter belt holding up nude stockings.
Every movement is beautifully lit and gracefully shot as Jason warms Kendra up
with a little oral love while she takes a sly glance at her boyfriend watching from
the window.
Once Jason is finally inside (“It’s so fucking tight I can barely get in there!”), she
sneaks another little glance at her boyfriend. “I was having a sensory overload,”
Kendra says in the voiceover, which plays over the sounds of fucking. “I came
harder than I ever have. That’s when I realized I love being watched, more than
anything in the world. I didn’t know it yet, but it was my new drug of choice.”
Fortunately, it’s a drug that doesn’t seem to have an ill effect on her
relationship. Soon Kendra and her guy are partying with movie producer Michael
and actress Jessica (Isiah Maxwell and Jillian Janson). Picking up on the signals
she’s getting, Kendra starts kissing Jessica … and then Michael. “Kendra, that is so
hot. Be bad for me, baby,” Eli suggests.
And when it comes to being bad, top-drawer porn performer Janson can show
the still relatively inexperienced Sunderland a thing or three. As Sunderland gets
fucked by Maxwell, Janson diddles her clit and nibbles on her ear, whispering, “Do
you like that your man’s watching you?” And when Janson rides cowgirl, she has
Sunderland sit on Maxwell’s face, giving herself access to Kendra’s busty bounty.
Director Lansky ticks off two
other star showcase essentials
with a girl/girl scene (Sunderland
with Ana Foxxx) and a boy/boy/
girl (Brown, Sunderland and
Ricky Johnson), but the action
doesn’t seem contrived. Instead, it
propels the evolution of Kendra’s
relationship with Eli, which just
keeps getting better as Kendra gets
wilder.
And throughout, the Blacked
production team keeps up its
reputation for going above
and beyond the norms in adult
entertainment. From the lingerie
to the lighting, the soundtrack
to the striking sets, Team Lansky
delivers.
