I took a few steps toward the bed. I knew what would happen if I joined her. It crackled in the air, making me tremble.

“I don’t think we should talk about the competition right now,” I said.

She rolled onto her side and looked up at me, a sultry smile on her face.

“What should we talk about, Kiri?”

I slid the robe from my shoulders. “I don’t think we should talk at all.”

Echo sat up and pulled her shirt over her head. She had a bra on, but she made quick work of discarding it.

“I was hoping you’d say that. The only thing that gets my mind off competition is sex, and well, I haven’t had you here the past few years and it was horrible. Get over here.”

We crashed together on the bed, and it was a struggle to get naked again, but this time we knew that there was a time limit, so we got down to business.

“Fuck, you’re so hot,” I said, running my hands up and down her body. “We’re going to have to make this quick. I have to do a room check soon.”

“Then we’ll make it quick,” she said, shoving me down and straddling me, placing a hot kiss on my mouth and sliding her hand down my stomach. I didn’t see why we couldn’t get two things done at once, so I took one hand from where I’d fisted it in her hair and squeezed her ass before sliding it between us.

We stroked each other and I plunged my fingers inside her as she did the same to me and the sensations were enough to make me want to cry. Echo and I moaned into each other’s mouths and stroked and thrust, getting faster and more frenzied.

“More, I’m close,” she said.

“Me too,” I gasped, and then I felt the contractions with my fingers and that set off my own orgasm. I moved my hand and she ground her hips into me, drawing out the pleasure with each other until she lay on me, panting in my ear.

“Thank you,” she said, rolling onto her back and smiling at me. “That was great.”

“You’re welcome? I mean, I got something out of it too.” I flopped onto my stomach and stared at her for a few moments.

“I seriously wish we could just fuck all night, but that’s definitely a bad idea. I’m going to go back to my room. Okay?” It made sense. The longer she stayed with me, the bigger the chance that we’d wind up getting caught by someone.

“Yeah, fine,” I said, still unable to think clearly through the sex haze.

“Sorry, I wish I could stay. Good luck at prelims tomorrow. You’re going to do great, but my team will do greater.” She kissed me on the cheek and got dressed almost as fast as she’d gotten undressed. Echo listened at the door and stared out the peephole for a long time before opening the door and sticking her head out into the hallway.

“Bye,” she whispered, before scampering away, and I was left naked on my bed and wishing she could have stayed longer.
