2. Asterion

Igaze down on the naked, sleeping female. Her body is sprawled out on the stone slab, and I cannot take my eyes off her.

Her scent, her taste, her touch — they're unlike anything I have ever experienced before.

Just looking at her makes my heart race and my member throb. To kiss her was to taste heaven itself, and to mate with her was a pleasure greater than I deserve.

I have slept for over twenty thousand years. I've been forgotten by time. My mind drifted in the space between life and death, forever cursed… and then she wandered into my maze.

And she woke me from my eternal slumber.

My people have turned into dust. My kingdom has fallen. I thought it was all over for me…

But it will all be rebuilt.

I scoop the sleeping human up into my arms. My heart thumps quickly as I hold her, and I wrap my arms around her protectively.

This woman will be my bride. Together, we shall repopulate Minos. Her belly will swell with my Minotaur spawn. The universe will know the greatness of the Minotaurs once more.

For now and forever, she is mine.
