Although I kinda appreciate the story, I have to points out some odd flaws in the writing that annoys me so much when reading it.
There is an overabondance of repetition of the same sentences constructions and adjectives that is really disturbing.
For exemple, "a sense of " comes out WAY too much; "unadultered" too , I mean, it is repeated several times in almost every sex scene; "you can't help but feel" is also used way too much and so on.
Likewise, there are so many sentences where there are systematically two adjectif or two adverbs to describe something: ("their movements synchronized and graceful", " you are to be Basileos's advisor and diplomat ", " its petals soft and velvety", " a sense of purpose and responsibility") all of these repeating phrasing are on the same page and there are so many examples of that.
Sorry if I am wrong but all of this makes me seriously wonder if you had a your story but decided to use an AI to generate a good part of your text instead of writing it yourself as you are not a native english speaker (i'm not too).
If not, you really should avoid to always repeat the same phrasing, it really hurts your work. If you manage to fix these issues, i would gladly update my rating but as of now, this really thumbs down my enjoyment in reading your story.
(Only 5 stars to rate is a bit annoying, i would have rated it a low 4 for the story itself, but the writing put it down to a high 2)
