Round 116

Silra worked in the center of the room, her hands moving with methodical precision as she isolated the damaged component. The clock on the wall ticked forward—two hours remained before the next cycle began. Jeane shifted impatiently nearby, her succubus nature demanding immediate satisfaction that the engineering work couldn't provide. Halie positioned herself between them, maintaining the contract's terms despite the growing pressure.

Abby watched from a few feet away, torn between professional priorities and rising temptation. The building groaned again, a low rumble that shook the foundation. The air in the room felt thicker now, charged with unspent energy and looming consequences if they failed to complete their task on time.
