Chapter 1761
Jude moved toward the center without thought. It felt inevitable. The golden pool called to him, not just as a man, but as something more the one who carried the island’s rhythm now, the one who had passed through love, through pain, through surrender and unity. He stepped into the liquid.
It clung to him like desire thick and silky, crawling over his skin, sinking into him. His breath caught as heat bloomed low in his spine, spreading upward, downward, everywhere. He groaned, falling to his knees as the pool shimmered around him.
The women joined him one by one.
Lucy first, her body arching into his arms, her lips parting as she slid against him, skin to skin, her breath coming faster. Then Rose, who moved behind him, her hands on his shoulders, her mouth at his neck, whispering words that made his spine shudder. Zoey straddled his lap, kissing him deeply, tasting his breath as her hips rocked against his. Grace pressed close, her fingers trailing over his ribs, her mouth finding his chest.
The basin glowed brighter.
Emma entered with Stella, both nude and flushed, their mouths meeting hungrily before they turned toward Jude together. Susan, Sophie, Natalie, Scarlet, and Layla joined, circling like stars drawn to a sun, their hands exploring one another as much as they touched him.
It wasn’t chaos.
It was worship.
Bodies tangled.
Mouths found mouths.
Thighs wrapped around hips.
