Finally looking for Astynome

"What happened?" I asked aloud, my voice cutting through the silence, though I wasn't expecting an answer from anyone in particular.

The room was quiet now, the intensity of the moment already fading. The brief encounter had come to an abrupt end, leaving me to reflect on the haze that had just passed. After what felt like such a short span of intimacy, it was already over. I leaned back, staring at the ceiling, lost in my thoughts.

I think perhaps I had been caught off guard by Khillea's unique allure, her body exuding a kind of primal seduction that was hard to resist. There had been something raw and almost desperate in the way she had looked at me, the way her hands had grasped at me, trembling. She had yearned for this, whispered it into my ear with fevered breaths. Her desire to get pregnant, her need for fulfillment, was palpable. She had nearly begged for it, her voice thick with longing.
