Astronaut of Desire

Chapter 1: Endless Spaces The shimmering stars sparkled like diamonds in the infinite darkness of space. On board the “Elysium”, a futuristic spaceship, spaceman Lena felt small yet powerful. Their mission was clear: explore, collect, and unravel the secrets of the universe. But in the midst of the technical challenges and endless expanses, there was something that drove them more than anything else — the desire for closeness, for passion. After a long day on board, during which she had struggled with technology and analyzed the countless data, Lena moved into the personal cabin. The soft light from the control panel cast shadows across the walls as she looked out the window. The sight of Earth, so small and vulnerable in the distance, made her heart beat faster. But what she really lacked was someone with whom she could share the experience. She suddenly heard a soft knock on the door. It was Max, the engineer, whose charming smile had often taken her out of her mind. “I've checked the systems, everything is working properly,” he said in a voice that was gentle yet penetrating. But there was more to him than just professionalism. “Come in,” she answered, her voice barely more than a whisper. When the door opened, Max stepped in and the air between them began to crackle. He was a man who knew what he wanted. Lena felt the electrical sensation in the air as he got closer. Their eyes met, and at that moment time seemed to stand still. “You know, Lena,” he began, “sometimes I wish we could forget the stars for a moment and just be here. Just you and me.” His words were like a promise that filled the room. She took a step closer, and the tension between them was almost palpable. “I didn't dream about anything else,” she confessed softly as her heart beat faster. Max leaned forward and her lips were only inches apart. The moment was perfect. And yet that was the moment when the door to reality was pushed open with a loud bang when the alarm lights began to flash. “What is that? ” Lena shouted and stepped back hastily. But Max wouldn't let go of them. “We don't have time, we need to act quickly! “, he answered, but his eyes revealed something else. The world around them became blurry as they came closer again. The alarm lights were flashing, the systems were beeping, but the only thing that mattered at that moment was the magnetic pull between them. They were caught between duty and desire, and the space around them became the scene of an unforgettable encounter. “We must...” Lena muttered, but Max interrupted her as he put his hands on her waist and pulled her closer. “I can't stop thinking what we could do right now if we ignore these alarm sounds,” he whispered and pulled her even closer. Their hearts beat at the same rate, and everyday questions seemed irrelevant for a moment. The start of a passionate discovery was just waiting to be unleashed, and they were ready to push the limits of what was known.
