Chapter 1329: Chapter 1329

He slid his fingers into her, slow and wet, feeling the slick heat waiting for him. She gasped, her body trembling, her hands clinging to his wrist as her hips began to rock.

Natalie came behind him, reaching around to stroke his balls while Lucy sucked him deeper, her tongue working him to the edge.

Rose stood in front of the tree now, arms raised, her voice lifted in a song without words.

The island echoed her.

And then Jude came - hard and sharp and endless - into Lucy’s mouth, into her throat, pouring himself out as Sophie came on his hand, crying out, clutching his wrist with both hands.

The roots surged upward.

The tree shook.

And then - blooms.

Golden.

Radiant.

Exploding from every branch.

They opened like mouths gasping with pleasure, releasing a shimmer that fell over the entire clearing, coating their skin, their lips, their sex.

The tree had bloomed.

They had awakened it.

Rose turned.

And smiled.

"It is done," she said softly.

Jude staggered, breathless, as Lucy rose and kissed his chest.

"But it’s only the beginning," Rose added, her smile deepening. "Now the island will show its true form."

And beneath them, deep underground, the earth pulsed again.

Alive.

Awake.

And hungry.

The pulse beneath their feet wasn’t just felt - it resonated. It moved through their bones, their breath, their sweat-slicked skin like the echo of a second heartbeat. The newly bloomed tree behind them glowed brighter with each exhale of the island, the golden blossoms shedding a fine, luminous dust that settled onto their hair, their shoulders, their lips. No one moved to brush it away. They stood in its warmth, bare and open, every nerve alive.

Jude’s hands trembled.

Not with fear - there was none of that anymore - but with weight. The weight of what had just passed between them, and what now waited beneath. The earth hadn’t just responded - it had awakened. And somehow, he knew it was because of him. Because of them. Because of what they had offered together.

Lucy rested her head on his shoulder, her hand sliding down his chest, nails grazing lightly over his stomach. "It’s not just a tree," she whispered.

"No," Rose murmured behind her. "It’s a threshold."

Zoey approached, hips swaying lazily, her mouth parted in a faint smile. She kissed Jude’s shoulder before turning to the tree. "A door to what?"

Rose looked at her, then at them all. "To the heart of the island. The source. The thing that’s been dreaming us."

Sophie crossed her arms, eyes still half-shadowed with doubt, but her voice was steady. "Dreaming us? You mean this isn’t real?"

"Oh, it’s real," Rose said, stepping closer to her. "More real than anything we’ve known. The world we came from was reflection - this place is origin."

Stella stepped forward, her voice quiet and calm. "What do we do now?"

Jude turned slowly toward the tree. Its roots had shifted further, curling outward like fingers stretching after centuries of stillness. Between them now was an opening - small, dark, and pulsing with that same soft golden light. Not large enough for all of them at once.

He didn’t need to ask.

Rose nodded. "You go first."

Emma came to his side, lacing her fingers with his. "And if you don’t come back?"

He looked at her, then at the others. Each face, each body, marked with love and passion and the bond they’d deepened over and over. He smiled softly. "Then I’ll find a way to call you in."

Emma kissed him gently. "You’d better."

Lucy pulled him into her arms, held him tight. "You’re never alone, Jude."

Then he stepped into the roots.

The tunnel beneath the tree was narrow at first, thick with scent - earth, sap, old stone and deeper things. But it widened with each step, the walls breathing gently, slick with dew. It wasn’t dead. It was alive. And waiting.

The light grew brighter.

Then the ground leveled out.

He stepped into a chamber.

And gasped.

It was massive.

The walls were formed from pulsing roots, tangled like veins, all glowing with golden and rose light. At the center was a pool, perfectly still and mirror-like, surrounded by soft moss and a single pedestal made of black stone.

Hovering above the pedestal... was a heart.

Not human.

Not anything he recognized.

It pulsed slowly, deeply, in time with the island. It floated just above the stone, veined with light, its surface shifting like liquid and flesh and something else - something impossible.

Jude approached it carefully, naked, open, and trembling.

The moment he stepped within reach, the heart pulsed harder.

And he felt it.

All of it.

Not just sensation - but knowing.

He saw visions - not just of their time on the island, but before. He saw the plane crash. The first kiss with Rose under the moonlight. The way Layla cried the first time they made love. Susan’s laughter echoing across the beach. Emma’s bare back in the river. The first time Lucy whispered she loved him.

And he saw futures.

Dozens.

Hundreds.

In each, they were together. Sometimes under stars, sometimes lost in darkness. In some, they danced beside waterfalls that sang. In others, they knelt under ancient trees that fed on memory and gave back pleasure.

The heart spoke - not in words, but in desire.

It opened to him.

And Jude... offered himself.

He stepped to the pedestal and reached out.

The moment his fingers brushed the heart, it shattered - not into pieces, but into light.

It poured into him, rushed through his skin, his blood, his sex, his soul. Every inch of his body flared with heat and fire and electric pleasure. His cock hardened instantly, painfully, his muscles locking, his mind exploding with sensation.

He screamed.

But not in pain.

In joy.

In raw, pulsing, impossible need.

The chamber erupted in light.

And then -

He woke.

Back in the clearing.

But now, the tree had changed.

It was taller, its blossoms fuller, hanging low with gold-petaled fruit.
