Meanwhile, in Jo's room...

"So anyway, that's how one goes about getting a clit ring." Anita sat back and sipped her sparkling water - she'd had enough booze for the night, and wanted to avoid a hangover as best she could.

"Pretty cool," Allison acknowledged. "But I'd still never get one myself."

"I think I'm going to be ill just thinking about it," Eric said with a shiver. "Not that you having one grosses me out, Anita, I just can't stand the idea of someone putting a needle through me."

"You're such a wimp, Eric," Sam chided, shoving her sister gently on the shoulder. She looked at the clock on the wall. "My God, it's three in the morning. I can't believe we've been up so late."

"Too bad Suki and Cathy went to bed," Jo said.

"Well, Cathy didn't excatly 'go to bed' so much as she got dumped into it," Allison pointed out. "She was so damn wasted, she thought someone else was in her bed with her. How was Suki, by the way? She's probably never tasted **** before, I was a little concerned when I walked by her room and she wasn't there. Did anyone see if she went to the bathroom to get sick, or something?"

"She didn't get sick," Jo said. "I would have heard her. The sound of someone throwing up is hard to miss."

"Maybe she's passed out somewhere." Eric suggested.

"She wasn't that drunk," Anita said. "Look, if everyone's so concerned, let's just peek into her room and see if she's -"

"Shh!" Jo hissed, putting a finger to her lips. "Quiet for a moment."

"What -" Sam began, but quickly shut up when Jo held up a hand in her face.

"Do you hear that?" Jo whispered.

Everyone strained to hear what Jo's sensitive ears had detected.

"It's moaning," Jo said, her voice almost too quiet to hear. "It's coming from the air vent."

"Maybe it's just the furnace kicking on," Allison whispered.

"No... It almost sounds like -"

"Aaaaiieee!!!" The vent suddenly issued a clear squeal that couldn't have been anything but human.

"Suki, shush!"

At least four pairs of eyes went wide with astonishment - Jo's expression was hidden by her sunglasses, but she was definitely as shocked as the rest of them.

"What the hell?" Anita exclaimed. "That sounded like Cathy!"

"Well who else could it be, unless Suki talks to herself in her sleep?" Allison pointed out.

"Quiet, everyone," Jo insisted. "That was definitely Cathy. American accent."

"What the hell is she doing to Suki?" Allison wondered.

Jo shushed the room again, and they all listened intently to the vent.

Cathy's voice came through thinly but unmistakeably. "Hey, we're young, we're in college, it's time to experiment a little. I admit I didn't think I'd be doing this on my first day, but I always figured I'd try it eventually." She mumbled something that they couldn't hear.

"I am beautiful?" asked Suki's voice.

"Suki, my love, you are absolutely delicious."

"Oh my God," Sam whispered. "They're having sex! I just know it!"

"Suki?" Allison said incredulously. "Shy Suki? No way."

"Listen!"

Indistinct mumbling emerged from the vent, then a series of soft moans.

"That's Suki," Jo said.

The moans grew louder as they all listened, looks of wonder on all their faces. Sam's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Here now, it won't do to have everyone hear us," Cathy said.

"Too late," Anita giggled.

Cathy's next words were muffled, but Suki's reply was clear enough. "I am only doing to you what you did to me."

"And it's wonderful. Don't stop, please!"

"Damn, what the hell is she doing?" Sam asked imaptiently.

"Shut up!" Eric whispered. "If we can hear them, they can hear us!"

Moaning issued from the vent for a while, and all the girls waited tensely for what came next.

"Touch my pussy, Suki.?

"Holy fuck," Allison breathed.

"That's it," Sam said. "I can't take this anymore. Forgive me, everyone, but I'm just too fucking randy." Sam sat back on the corner of the bed and unzipped her shorts, rubbing herself as she listened to the mumblings that came from the vent.

"Sam, you are shameless," Eric chided.

"Anyone who wants to join me is welcome," Sam said as if she hadn't heard.

"Really, just because you -"

?Yes - Oh GOD, YES!!!?

Attention immediately went back to the vent. "I think the entire block heard that," Jo said with a smile.

Moans and muffles squeals followed Cathy's outburst, and it wasn't long before Anita discretely began to finger herself as well. Allison squirmed in her chair.

"Fuck me, lover... fuck me, fuck me hard..."

"Yes, fuck me Cathy," Sam whispered to herself. By this time, she was lying back with her eyes closed, enjoying the stimulation and uncaring of who was watching.

The moans became more and more intense, obviously building toward climax.

"I'm coming! Oh fuck, I'm coming, Suki!"

Sam's sudden gasp of breath showed that Cathy wasn't the only one.

The heather chose that moment to switch on, and any further eavesdropping was sabotaged. Jo sat back on her bed, breathing hard. "Goddamn," she whispered. "Is it just me, or was no one in any way expecting anything like that?"
