Some racers chuckled and raised their drinks in greeting, while others rolled their eyes and turned their backs to us. Either way, I was happy to have Utahn by my side. He had his arm hooked in mine and gazed up at me with a silly grin, ignoring all the racers I knew remembered him, some of whom I was sure he’d been with more intimately than me. Maybe I had nothing to worry about.
The song changed, and I recognized the new one immediately. “I Can’t Be Calm Around You.” It was always playing in the background when I video chatted with Utahn. So, I led him straight to the dance floor. If he wanted to dance, I would dance with him.
Among many paired bodies, I held him close, swaying back and forth as he rested his head on my collarbone. Another moment I’d dreamed of come true. I still found it hard to believe that after all the years of wondering what it would be like to be with Utahn, I was actually experiencing it.
When the song ended, Utahn took hold of my hand and pulled me off the dance floor. Was I a bad dancer, or did he need a break? Either way, I was thankful to be out of that sweaty mess of beings.
After we found a table, I went to the bar to get us some drinks. I had almost reached Utahn when someone grabbed the loop on the side of my pants.
With a gasp, I tried to gain my balance and not spill the drinks. A little sloshed over the rims, but I managed to save most of them and stay on my feet.
“Genj, did you not hear me calling you?”
I turned slightly to see Parsons, a fan from Ssagaross whom most of the racers, myself included, knew very well. “Uh, hi. Sorry, it’s hard to hear anything in here.”
They moved closer and ran one of their four hands up and down my arm. “That’s okay. But listen, I want to have some fun with you tonight. You’re looking extra hot, and you know I can show you a good time.”
My chest tightened. Before Utahn and I began conversing on a regular basis, I would have agreed to their offer. But not now. “I’m here with someone.”
Parsons moved closer and squeezed my ass. “C’mon, Genj. You know I’m not shy about having two dicks in me at once. Remember that time—”
“No.” I sidestepped out of their reach. “I’m serious about this guy. No one else for me.”
“Oh.” They dropped all four hands to their sides. “I never thought I’d hear that from you, but whatever. Where’s Ret, then? He’s always willing to have a good time.”
I shrugged, needing to get to Utahn. I could see him staring at us and hoped he wouldn’t assume the worst.
“Sorry.” I set the drinks on the table before taking a seat. “I didn’t mean to take so long.”
While focusing on me, he took a sip from his tastiki, a neon fizzy drink that was stronger than anything I could handle. Then he downed the whole thing, slamming the glass on the table as he licked his lips.
On all the planets I’d ever visited, I’d never seen anyone do that. Most beings couldn’t handle one sip.
He simply smiled at me as he threaded his fingers through mine. “Take me to your dorm. It’s too hot in here.”
I was confused. I’d wanted to stay there all along. “I thought you wanted to dance.”
“I did.” He left his seat and straddled my lap. “But I changed my mind.” As he slid his palm gently across my cheek, Utahn ground his hips across my thighs. “Now, I want you to take me to your place and fuck me. As I said, it’s too hot in here, and a quickie in the bathroom isn’t very appealing.”
His scent filled my nostrils, fresh-baked doughy goodness combined with sugary sweetness. Reminded me of the shadeens we ate on Orez. Yet, they didn’t make me hungry the way Utahn did. So hungry. A craving so strong and deep that everything around me seemed to fade away. Everything but Utahn. I held him tight against me and stood up. With his legs wrapped tight around me, I carried him through the throng of beings and outside. I think Ret tried to say something to me on my way out, but I was too focused on the omega in my arms to pay any attention to him.
I had to get Utahn to my room, remove the little clothing he wore, and then worship his body. My heart hammered in my chest as the beat of it pulsed in my ears.
Unaware how I got home, I laid Utahn on my bed, suddenly craving his body pressed to mine once more. I quickly undressed to feel his warmth again. Only with nothing between us.
“Genj,” he whined. “Hurry. I need you, need to feel you.”
My body filled with a need so great, I shook with desire. I snapped Utahn’s pants open then yanked them down his legs. Thank the stars he wasn’t wearing anything underneath. I didn’t need any other clothing in my way. My craving wouldn’t be satiated until I was buried deep inside him.
Utahn reached out for me with one hand while stroking his shaft with the other. “Please. I feel like I’m on fire. I need you. Fuck, I need you bad.”
I understood the feeling. My cock ached; it was extremely hard. Never had I hungered for someone as much. This wasn’t some crush I was still feeling but something much bigger.
I reached for the can of mesodenka, but Utahn knocked it away. “Don’t worry. I’m on suppressants.”
I nodded, thankful for another obstacle removed. When I reached between his legs, he was wet. So much slick. After pulling him to the edge of the bed, I lined the head of my cock with his tight hole and pushed in. Finally.
Though the need only amplified. Holding his legs around my waist, I rocked in and out of him. Utahn squeezed his eyes shut, his mouth hanging open. Occasionally he released a loud moan, but most of the time he was begging. “More. Harder. Genj, please give it to me.”
