Stuck in an Island with Twelve Beautiful Women
Chapter 1440

Chapter 1440: Chapter 1440

They gathered in a circle, not to repeat the ritual, but to listen. The tree sang now, a deep, slow melody they all felt in their bones.

Scarlet, who rarely spoke, looked up and whispered, "We’ve created something sacred."

That evening, they danced.

Naked, glowing, humming.

They danced around the tree, through the grove, across each other’s bodies. Not in ceremony. In joy. Hands brushed skin, lips met spines, breasts pressed against chests, hips rocked gently in rhythm with the song.

They weren’t twelve women and one man anymore.

They were one.

The first night of the new circle passed in bliss.

And when Jude finally slept, with Lucy wrapped around his waist and Sophie draped across his chest, he dreamed again.

This time, there were children.

Running through the grove.

Their laughter echoed with the same melody as the tree.

He woke with tears in his eyes.

And knew...

They had begun.

Jude sat at the edge of the treehouse again before dawn, eyes on the canopy that shimmered faintly with dew and dreams. Below, the grove pulsed softly, alive with the rhythm of something growing, not just the new tree but the bond between them all. The others still slept inside - peacefully tangled in warmth and soft limbs, their bodies still humming from the night’s love. He could feel them even without touching, like parts of him lay in each of them now, stitched by breath, pleasure, and something the island had given shape to.

Rose came out first, barefoot, wrapped in a thin fabric that might once have been her shirt but now floated around her like ceremonial cloth. She stood beside him, silent for a moment, and then pressed a kiss to his shoulder.

"You dreamed again?" she asked.

He nodded. "I saw them. The children."

Her hand found his. "That’s the island answering us. That’s the song taking root."

Jude looked at her. "Do you believe it’s real this time?"

"I don’t believe," she said gently. "I know. "

He stared into the forest. The dream had been so vivid. The children had his eyes. One had Lucy’s curls. Another, Emma’s dimpled smile. And yet none of them were copies - they were new. Alive. Real. They had laughed, played, danced among the violet-blossomed grove. It hadn’t felt like a vision. It had felt like a promise.

By the time the sun rose fully, the others had woken, slowly and sweetly, with lazy kisses and long stretches. Lucy was the last to stir, yawning into Jude’s chest before she climbed over him and kissed him without hesitation. Her lips were soft and tasted like sleep and trust.

"What did you see last night?" she whispered.

He kissed her forehead. "Our future."

That morning, they moved together without words. They washed each other in the river, fingers lingering over skin, mouths tasting every drop. Emma led them in a slow, sensuous embrace that turned into more than washing. She knelt in the shallow pool and pulled Jude into her mouth, worshiping him with long, deliberate movements while the others watched and touched, building heat like fire coaxed into flame.

Zoey kissed Stella against a tree nearby, their hands tangled in each other’s hair. Scarlet and Grace lay in the water, legs entangled, moaning softly beneath the rush of the stream. Natalie rode Sophie’s thigh on the rocks, gasping Jude’s name as she came, even as Sophie grinned and pulled her closer.

When Lucy finally climbed into Jude’s lap, he entered her in the river’s current, the water rushing around their hips as she rocked slowly, deliberately, riding him with her forehead pressed to his. "Don’t let me go," she breathed.

"Never," he promised.

Their bodies melted again and again that morning, each release carrying more meaning, more intention. They weren’t just feeding desire - they were planting more seeds. Every climax was a note in the melody the island sang. Every moan, a word in a language only they now spoke.

Later, they lay in the sun to dry, skin glistening, hearts slowed, breath matching the island’s pulse. The forest no longer felt like something wild and foreign. It felt like home.

Sophie lay on her side beside Jude, her hand on his chest. "We need to build something," she said softly. "Not just a place to live. A place to grow."

"You mean a village?" Emma asked.

"A sanctuary," Sophie replied.

Rose nodded. "A cradle. For what’s coming."

The idea lit them like flame. They were already gathering leaves, shaping ideas. Stella sketched plans into the soil with her fingers - structures that curved with the trees instead of cutting through them. Natalie and Grace began weaving strands of vines and feathers into tapestries. Susan and Scarlet moved to scout the grove’s outer ring, picking out spots to begin shaping the homes.

They weren’t just surviving anymore.

They were becoming something.

That evening, they returned to the tree, newly awakened purpose shining in their eyes. Around it, they placed their offerings - woven cloth, flowers, polished stones, feathers, and braided locks of hair. Jude placed his knife there, the one he hadn’t used in weeks. A symbol. No more defense. Only creation.

Rose kissed him before stepping back, and then the circle formed again.

But this time, the ritual was different.

It wasn’t need or lust - it was invitation.

They stripped each other again, but with slow reverence. Each article of clothing folded carefully and placed aside. Each kiss was long, unhurried. Their hands moved like prayer.

Sophie laid Jude back on a soft pile of moss, her lips trailing from his collarbone down to his hips, kissing each scar, each freckle, each piece of him. One by one, the others joined, touching him, stroking him, whispering words of love and power and devotion. They circled him like priestesses around a sacred flame.

And then Lucy climbed onto him first, slow and aching, her body fitting his like they had never been separate. She rode him with tears in her eyes, holding his face as she whispered, "Make me yours again."
