Chapter 1475
Zoey didn’t ask - she claimed him, kissing him hard, her nails dragging down his chest as she impaled herself with a growl. Layla and Natalie kissed behind her, bodies gliding together like waves. Grace licked her way up his spine while Susan suckled his neck, her voice soft as silk. Scarlett, quiet and intense, waited until the very end, until he was trembling - then wrapped herself around him with deadly grace and kissed him like a goddess taking her prize.
It lasted forever and a moment.
When it ended, they all collapsed together, limbs tangled, skin glowing.
Above them, the stars pulsed once.
The trees sang.
And from the heart of the forest came an answering hum - low, slow, vast.
Something had heard them.
Jude blinked against the light and whispered, "What now?"
Rose turned her head and smiled against his shoulder.
"Now," she said, "we lead."
The forest answered them with silence - deep, reverent, and thick with the promise of something more. In the afterglow of their shared ritual, the women lay draped over Jude like warm vines, every inch of their bare bodies slick with sweat and moonlight. The stone beneath them still pulsed faintly, not fading, but resting. Waiting. Jude’s chest rose and fell beneath the weight of Emma’s head, her fingers tracing soft lines along his ribs while her breath warmed his skin. Sophie, beside her, kissed the curve of his jaw and whispered his name - not as a question, but as a song.
