Finally looking for Astyno
"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 mont already fading. The brief encounter had co to an abrupt end, leaving
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 sothing raw and almost desperate in the way she had looked at , the way her hands had grasped at , trembling. She had yearned for this, whispered it into my ear with fevered breaths. Her desire to get pregnant, her need for fulfillnt, was palpable. She had nearly begged for it, her voice thick with longing.
As a man, maybe it was only natural to feel an urge to answer that call, to fulfill her dream, however fleeting that mont might be. I had allowed myself to give in, to lose myself in that primal exchange.
But just as things were getting interesting, as I was reaching the mont where our connection seed to peak, she had lost consciousness. A soft, almost fragile sigh had escaped her lips before she collapsed, her body unable to bear the pleasure any longer.
"Maybe she's just a very sensitive woman," I mused aloud, comparing her briefly to Courtney, who had a similar reaction. It wasn't a question of technique or timing—it seed to be sothing deep within them, sothing about their nature. But I didn't dwell on it for too long.
Whatever.
I had enjoyed myself, but now I was painfully aware of how late I was for my next engagent with Astyno. It felt like every ti I was on the verge of reaching her, sothing or soone else got in my way, pulling
into a different direction. My mind buzzed with the weight of all the distractions piling up, but I couldn't afford to be distracted any longer.
With a deep breath, I stood up from the disheveled bedding and stripped off the remnants of my clothing, tossing my top aside and letting the cool air hit my skin. My body was slick with sweat, a mix of the travel-worn gri and the sheen of passion from the monts with Aisha and then Khillea. The tent slled faintly of sex and the earthy scent of the camp, and I couldn't help but smirk at the ss we had made of Achilles' space.
Approaching the basin of water, I dipped a bowl into the cool liquid and began to wash myself, letting the water cascade over my skin, rinsing away the sweat and the fatigue that had clung to
since I arrived. The sensation was refreshing, and for a brief mont, I allowed myself to relish in the simplicity of the act. As the water splashed onto the ground, soaking into the dirt, I realized I had pretty much soaked Achilles' tent floor as well.

Ah, whatever. He wouldn't mind, I thought with a shrug.
I reached for the clean towel hanging nearby, the fabric soft as I dried myself. Once I was satisfied, I dressed again in fresh clothes, feeling a bit more like myself now that the sweat and gri had been scrubbed away. Achilles still hadn't returned, but perhaps only a few minutes had passed since he had called for .
Still, sothing about his absence nagged at .
Why would he summon
and then be nowhere to be found? And what was it that Khillea had said earlier? Her words echoed faintly in my mind, but they felt strangely distant, as if they were hiding a deeper aning. A sense of unease settled in my chest, though I couldn't quite place why.
I turned my gaze to Khillea, still unconscious on the bedding. There was sothing about her that felt… off. As I stared at her, a nagging familiarity tugged at the back of my mind. It was as if I had t her before, felt her presence in another ti or place, yet I couldn't grasp where or how. Sothing was preventing
from fully understanding the truth, as if there was a veil over my mind.
In any case, she was a good woman. She had given herself to
without hesitation, and I had taken her virginity—a fact that stirred a mix of emotions within . A part of
felt guilty for Achilles, yet another part felt no remorse. After all, if he was the one who had ordered his won to entertain , then he couldn't bla
for accepting. There was no sha in it, and I doubted he would hold any grudges.
As I turned away from Khillea, my eyes fell on Briseis, still sitting in the corner of the tent. Her face was a deep shade of red, a flush that spread all the way down her neck. She had witnessed everything, her wide eyes watching in silence as I had been with Khillea. The sight of her embarrassnt made
smirk slightly.
"You look like you want to be entertained too but unfortunately I don't have ti," I remarked, as I let my gaze linger on her.
"I... I didn't ask for it!" Briseis stamred, her cheeks burning even brighter. Her legs trembled where she sat, and she crossed them as if trying to hide the effect watching
had had on her.
"I see," I replied with a knowing smile, taking in her flustered expression.
Briseis averted her eyes, her lips pressed tightly together in an effort to keep silent, but the heat of the mont still hung heavy in the air. When I finally looked away from her, I could sense her body tense, her breathing shallow as if she were fighting the temptation to speak.
For now, there would be no more ti for such distractions. I had other matters to attend to.
Once I was ready, I moved toward the entrance of the tent, pushing aside the curtain to step out. But as I did, I was t with the unexpected sight of Patroclus standing just outside, his expression stern and laced with suspicion. His eyes locked onto mine, and then, almost instinctively, he glanced past
into the interior of the tent.
"Achilles never ca," I said, trying to sound casual as I gestured toward the space behind . "He left
so "gift
