Chapter 1286

Sophie's eyes slid to her. "That's not what it looked like."

"It was sacred," Rose said.

Sophie's eyes narrowed. "It was orgy in a cave."

"It was both," Zoey admitted with a shrug. "And it was fucking beautiful."

Emma stepped between them, her voice calm but firm. "Sophie, something's happening to the island. You can't deny it."

"I'm not," she said. "But I'm not just going to throw myself into it because I got horny watching the rest of you writhe on top of him."

Lucy moved toward her, reaching for her hand. "You're scared."

"No shit," Sophie hissed. "She's inside you. All of you. I can feel her in the way you look at each other. In the way you move."

"She's not a threat," Rose said.

"She is," Sophie whispered. "Because she feels good. And that's the scariest part."

Silence stretched between them.

Then Jude stepped forward.

He reached for Sophie's hand.

And she didn't pull away.
