As the night wore on, the urge grew stronger, a gnawing sense of discontent that could not be ignored. He held her close, but his mind was elsewhere, lost in the labyrinth of his own thoughts.
Suddenly, he got up, his eyes gleaming with a restless intensity. "I need to go out," he said, his voice low and husky.
She looked up at him, her eyes filled with a mixture of concern and curiosity. "Where are you going?" she asked, but he just shook his head.
He walked out into the night, the city lights blurring into a collage of color and sound. He walked for hours, his feet carrying him to places he had never been before.
He found himself in a small, dimly lit bar, the music pulsating through his veins. He ordered a whiskey and sat down at the bar, his eyes scanning the room.
That's when he saw her, a woman with piercing green eyes and long, curly hair. She smiled at him, and he felt a jolt of electricity run through his body.
He didn't know what it was about her, but he was drawn to her like a moth to a flame. He got up and walked over to her, his heart pounding in his chest.
"Hello," she said, her voice husky and seductive.
"Hello," he replied, his voice barely above a whisper.
And with that, the night took a turn, a turn that would change his life forever.
