Chapter 1334
The song echoed upward, folding into the canopy like heat into summer wind. Jude lay at the heart of it all, his chest slick with sweat and silver liquid, his arms entwined around bodies that trembled and shifted and sighed against him. Rose rested against his left side, her breath warm on his neck, her leg draped across his hip. Lucy curled on his right, her fingers laced between his, the rise and fall of her chest moving in perfect harmony with his own.
Above them, the vines still cradled the living bed like a lover unwilling to let go.
The light filtering through the newly opened canopy above was different now. No longer golden, or pulsing - it was soft, almost shy, a pale indigo glow like starlight at dusk. The petals drifting through it shimmered faintly, weightless as breath.
Sophie stirred beside Emma, stretching out languidly before propping herself on her elbows. "It’s quiet now," she murmured. "But it’s not over."
"No," Emma agreed, running a hand along Jude’s thigh, her eyes gleaming. "It’s just... watching. Waiting."
Zoey sat upright, her back arched like a cat, legs folded beneath her. Her skin still glistened, still bore the traces of sap and silver light, her nipples hard, her inner thighs slick and flushed. "It’s not done feeding," she said with a smirk. "And neither am I."
Before Jude could answer, she crawled forward, straddling his hips, her hands pressed flat against his chest. "You feel that?" she whispered.
He did.
His cock stirred again, as if called by more than desire. It wasn’t fatigue he felt - it was need. A thrum low in his spine, in his belly, in his blood. The island wasn’t draining him. It was sustaining him.
Zoey shifted her hips and slid him into her with a breathless moan. Her head fell back, eyes closing, the line of her throat graceful as her hips began to roll. "Gods, yes..."
Lucy tilted her head to watch, her hand trailing down to touch herself lazily, fingers sliding in slow circles. "She’s beautiful when she rides you."
