“Did I fucking stutter?” Rio demanded, and I wasn’t sure if it was intentional or not, but they pressed even more weight on their arm. “The way he’s dressedis not consent. You don’t fucking touch someone unless they give you permission to.”
“Rio, babe,” I said, taking a gentle hold of their shoulder. “Let the asshole up before he passes out. I think he’s learned his lesson.”
Rio stared at the guy for a long moment, their face a mask of sheer fury, before they puffed out a breath and jumped to their feet. The guy rolled over onto his side, gasping and coughing.Another man, I assumed one of his friends, rushed over to help him.
Rio turned to me and reached up to cup my cheek. “Are you okay?”
I nodded and turned my head so I could press my lips against their palm. “I’m fine. I swear. Thanks for defending me. That doesn’t happen very often.”
“I’ve got your back. Always,” they promised.
The dude who had groped me was now on his feet, his friend’s arm wrapped around his shoulder to keep him upright, and he was watching us warily.
Rio turned his glare back on him. “I think you owe my boyfriend an apology.”
I didn’t think one would be forthcoming, but then Rio made to step towards the guy and he held up his hands in surrender. “Okay, okay. Fucking chill. I’m sorry I grabbed your man’s ass.”
Rio did step forward now, and I had to admit, it was alittlecomical to see the two guys who weremuchtaller and broader than Rio shrink back from them. “Did I say thatIneeded an apology? No, I fucking didn’t. Apologize to Cooper.”
The guy looked at me, his eyes wide. “I’m sorry, dude. It won’t happen again. Can’t you call your boyfriend off?”
I gave him a derisive look. “First of all, they’renotmyboyfriend. Secondly, they have a mind of their own and don’t come when I whistle.”
Sensing the situation was starting to go downhill, the asshole’s friend tugged on his arm. “Let’s just get the fuck out of here, bro.”
They hurried from the restroom, and Rio went to the sinks to wash their hands. Once they were done, we left as well, ignoring the wide-eyed stares we were receiving from the others inside. Instead of heading back to the rave, I took hold of Rio’s hand and led them away from the crowds.
Rio didn’t say anything as I hunted for what I was after. It took a while, but I finally led them behind the old dormitories where it was dark and quiet. I turned them and backed them against a wall, then kissed them fiercely. “You are so fucking badass,” I whispered, then dropped to my knees.
“What are you doing?” Rio asked.
“I am so fucking turned on, Rio. Ineedto blow you.”
“Oh,” they gasped.
“Any objections?” I fished a condom out of my pocket and held it up.
Rio shook their head. “No. No objections.”
I grinned, and I probably looked half feral, but I didn’t care. I needed to show Rio just how much I appreciated them for stepping in to fight for me. Though I didn’t exactly condone violence, I’d been in my fair share of fights. Being the size I was, skirmishes seemed to find me even when I was trying to avoid them. People always assumed I would be willing to step in and put a stop to bullshit, and I did when required, but I didn’t like it. Most people would have expected me to just deal with that asshole, and I certainly could have, but the fact Rio took care of it so I didn’t have to meant so much to me.
Knowing we could be interrupted at any time, I didn’t linger and take my time like I wanted to. I unzipped Rio’s pants and tugged them down their hips, along with their cotton boxers. I opened the condom and rolled it over their cock, which hardened the rest of the way at my touch. I wrapped my lips around the crown of their cock and sucked hard, one of my hands already cupping their balls.
“Oh, fuck,” Rio groaned above me, and they wove their fingers into my hair and gripped it tight.
I reached up with my free hand and pushed on their hands, hoping they’d take the hint. They did, and soon Rio was guiding my head so I bobbed up and down on their cock. I relaxed myjaw and just allowed them to use my mouth and throat. My own cock was throbbing in response, but this wasn’t about me. I didn’t need to get off. I just wanted to make Rio feel good.
Small whimpers were falling from Rio’s mouth as their thrusts sped up, and I knew they were close. I moaned around them as their cock pushed deep into my throat, gagging a little as they pulled back, but not allowing them to pull out. I didn’t mind at all choking on Rio’s cock. It was hot as fuck.
“Fuck. Cooper!” Rio cried out, and I felt their cock pulse in my mouth. Their hips shuddered and jerked as they came, and I worked them through it. When it got too much, Rio pulled out and then sank to their knees in front of me and slumped against my chest. “Holy shit. That was so good,” they muttered.
I wrapped my arms around them and hugged them tightly. “I’m glad.” Reaching down, I helped them ease their clothes back into place, and shook my head as they reached for me in return. “I’m good. I can wait till we’re home.”
“You sure?”
“Yep.”
Rio’s smile was like the sun rising and I kissed them softly, still amazed I could do that now.
