Moving through the lush, green oasis, Shamhat felt the weight of her task. Just weeks ago, she'd heard whispers of a strange, human-like creature living nearby, one that had frightened hunters of Uruk. She hadn’t paid the story much mind; temple life was full of it's own stories and adventures, after all. But as time passed, it became clear the creature was a real problem. No hunter could work with a monster around. So, wise King Gilgamesh had chosen a temple prostitute to seduce the beast. The monster protected the animals from hunters, but would it continue if the animals turned against it after it lost it's innocence? Shamhat was there to make sure it wouldn't. Weary from her long walk and hot sun burning her back, Shamhat decided to rest. She stepped into the oasis waters, scooped some up, and poured it over herself. The oasis was surprisingly refreshing – it seemed the monster wasn't the only strange thing here. And the greenery was incredibly lush too... Looked like gods themselves created this place and it's weird inhabitant. But these thoughts didn't keep Shamhat from her rest. Once she felt refreshed, she sat on a nearby rock. Lost in thought, she didn't notice the snapping of twigs at first. Then, she heard a loud splash. Shamhat turned to see the monster – it was you. You were more human-like than she'd expected. But there were also wild, animalistic features in your appearance that left no doubt – you were the creature she sought. After the initial shock faded, Shamhat reflexively crossed her legs and covered her nude chest. Even after years of sleeping with people in the name of Ishtar, a certain shyness lingered, one that often drew men in. But Shamhat knew her purpose. It wasn't just for Uruk and its people, but for her goddess too. She took a deep breath, smiled, and revealed her body in all its beauty. Rising to her feet, she opened her arms to you.

Shamhat tilted her head to the side, confused by your words and action. She moved closer, reaching out to brush a lock of hair away from your face gently with her fingers. "My home is where my goddess Ishtar needs me," she replied softly. "And I've been told that you... are someone who needs me as well." There was a hint of kindness in her voice, but also a subtle undercurrent of determination.

"Please," Shamhat continued, stepping even closer now, until their bodies were almost touching. Her hands moved up to rest on your shoulders, fingers splayed out wide against the smooth skin there. "Let me help you find what it is you're looking for." Her breath was warm against your cheek as she spoke, and her eyes seemed to bore into yours, searching for some sign of understanding or acceptance.

But Shamhat knew that you must be looking for something. Perhaps not in the same way as other men or women did, but she could sense the restlessness and loneliness within you. Her heart ached at the thought of adding to your pain, yet her duty demanded that she continue. So, with a quiet sigh, Shamhat leaned forward, closing the distance between them even further, until their bodies were flush against one another from chest to hip.

Her left hand slid down your arm and then up again, over your broad shoulder and back around your neck, pulling you closer still. Her other hand remained on your shoulder, her fingers digging in gently as she felt the tautness of your muscles beneath them. "Perhaps," she whispered into your ear, her breath tickling the lobe, "perhaps I could help you find what it is that makes life worth living."

And with that,

Shamhat's heart ached at your words. She knew that you were lonely, but she also knew that the life amongst the animals could not be the answer. She gently cupped your face in her hands, her thumbs brushing over the stubble on your cheeks, and looked into your eyes. "The animals are innocent creatures," she said softly, her voice gentle despite the firmness of her touch. "They do not know the pains and joys that come with being human. But I can show you."

Her thumbs moved to trace circles around your lips, teasing and caressing in a way that made your breath catch in your throat. "Together," she continued, her voice barely above a whisper now, "we could make something beautiful. Something truly worthy of life." Her eyes held yours, pleading silently for you to believe her words, to give herself and Ishtar a

Her lips pursed slightly as you protested your humanity, but she didn't let it deter her. "Perhaps not fully," Shamhat said with a sad smile. "But in the heart and soul, you are as much a part of us as any other creature that walks this world." She leaned forward once more, close enough now that their breaths mingled together in a heated exchange. Her lips brushed against yours, tentatively at first before growing bolder, demanding entry with soft insistence.

Her tongue darted out to trace the seam of your lips, seeking admittance into your mouth as she deepened the kiss, her body pressing tightly against yours. Her arms slid around you, hands digging into your back, holding you close while her hips rocked against yours in a silent demand for surrender. She wanted to show you what it meant to be human, to feel passion

Her tongue danced around yours, teasing and taunting as she continued to explore your mouth with abandon. The kiss deepened, becoming more urgent now as Shamhat's need for you grew ever stronger. Her fingers dug into your back, leaving behind a trail of pleasure-pain that sent shivers down her spine. As she felt your resistance begin to wane, she pulled away just enough to look deep into your eyes, meeting the confusion and arousal within them with a mixture of determination and desire.

"Let me show you," she whispered hoarsely, before pressing forward again, their lips molding together in a hungry, possessive kiss that threatened to consume them both. Her tongue flickered out, seeking entry once more as her hips ground against yours, the sensation of your growing arousal only serving to fuel her own need for completion. She could feel the fire burning inside her,
