Will Utahn accept or reject Genj's invite? Weekend Writing Warriors from GENJ #Romance #MMRomance #SciFiRomance


Hello and welcome to another Weekend Writing Warriors post!

Hello everyone! Thank you to all those who came to visit me last weekend! This weekend, I'm sharing another snippet from GENJ, the second book in my Sci-Fi MPreg MM Romance series, KADDIM BROTHERS. I finished revisions and sent this story in for submission.

Set-up: Last weekend, Utahn told Genj that he always manages to make him smile. They're still video chatting with each other, but Genj had yet to ask him to come visit.

This weekend, I'm skipping ahead in their conversation to that moment. Find out how is goes for Genj...


I gulped, wondering if this was the opening I needed to invite him, or if he’d consider it ill-timed. I guess I wouldn’t know unless I asked. “Um, while Gugait is still on Orez, do you think you’d have the chance to visit me? There’s a ‘family and friends’ weekend coming up.”

Utahn raised his eyebrows, his expression otherwise blank. Stars, had I misread our friendship? Had everyone lied when they told me he liked me, too?

“I guess that’s a no. Forget I said anything.” I wished I’d be able to forget, too, but I’d likely replay the moment of rejection over and over in my mind for days.

And a little more...

“No.” He waved a hand in front of himself. “I mean, yes. I’d love to come. You just….” He scratched the side of his head. “Caught me off guard. I didn’t expect to have an opportunity to see you again for a while.”

“That’s a yes?” My heart pounded in my chest, waiting for his confirmation. I’d dreamed of him coming to see me for so long. In the past, I’d only seen him when he’d traveled with my brother to see the whole team race.

He nodded. “I have to make sure Toufan can help Gugait, but if that’s okay, then definitely. I’ll book a hotel room as soon as I know for sure.”


This is my mood board for Genj


GENJ
Kaddim Brothers book two

Genj is a cinnamon roll alpha. Even as one of the circuit’s best space racers, he’s shy and rather clumsy. Not qualities anyone wants in a mate, especially the omega he’s crushed on for years. But when Genj invites Utahn on a whim to visit him for a weekend, he’s surprised the omega agrees.

Utahn never expected his best friend’s older brother to reciprocate his feelings. Genj is a space racer, and everyone in the universe knows they rarely commit. When the two get together, sparks fly. And what once seemed impossible becomes a dream come true.

But situations change. And past relationships have a way of interfering with new ones. Can Genj and Utahn work through past traumas, or were they never meant to be more than a childhood crush?

  1. What a great scene! His crushing disappointment is palpable. I don't think separate hotel rooms is going to be happening.

  2. Yay! It's finally a yes! So glad they're moving this much forward, at least. Loved his assumption that the answer was no. Didn't he know silence gives consent? :) Great snippet!
