Due to a wonderful friend prompting me to play this awesome series.. I quickly became a die hard fan.. and as I'm sure many have: of Joker. Just a heads up. I find it very difficult to Ship Joker with anyone else so.. all my ramblings probably will be an exclusive Shoker Ship. I don't know. I'm open to other characters too.. I'm thinking: Vega, Mordin, Thane, Kolyat. Y'know.. all the Romance options you wish you had but didn't? :) Joker included.. This is probably going to end up my naughty little sounding board.

Disclaimer: BioWare own all respective property within: characters etc.. I just like playing with them :) I make not a single cent, nor dime from this little foray into Fan Fiction.. my only pay is reviews :)

Special Note: I dedicate this to Bo Baina :) My Purple Pony who will always be Prancing Under a Palm Treez :) I hope its good :) I really hope you like it! :)

'Shepard, why do you always call me Jeff?'

'Well, .. ' She thought about that for a moment before responding.

'I could call you Mister Moreau, like Edi,'

He made eye contact with her at that.

She grinned.

'But then you might get a hard on every time I talked to you.'

'Hey, Shepard.' He raised his hand in front of his face and extended his middle finger to her. Shooting her a look that clearly said 'Fuck-off'. He wasn't in the best mood.

She merely chuckled and looked at him. Putting on her best 'come-hither' look she locked eyes with him. Deciding to use his own motion against him.

'Maybe if your nice.' she purred.

His hand immediately dropped.

'And only if you promise to bite.'

..

Was she being serious?

Vega and Garrus apparently thought so because they took in the situation for only a moment before exchanging a worried glance and proceeding to make a hasty retreat to the workout room doors.

Leaving Shepard and Joker completely alone.

Shepard's gaze hadn't left Joker's during all this.

'Well?' She prompted.

Well, what?

'I – uh.. I'

Joker? At a loss for words.. this was new.

All the times he'd made fun of Legion, mocking him behind his back as he handed over valuable intel about the Geth. Shepard had quickly gotten on his case about that.

All the times he'd bothered Garrus with degrading jokes concerning Turians, even a joke about himself.

All the times he'd quipped to her over the comm about their situations.. normally nothing helpful either. Mostly that he was bored or how he wished they could visit a fuzzy planet.

All the times he'd commented on members of the crew, making his opinion well known on each and every resident aboard the Normandy.

For all of that he had a retort.. for this, nothing. Unbelievable.

Shepard abandoned her spot by the wall, choosing instead to saunter toward said Pilot and make him as uncomfortable as she could.

'Well, Jeff.. ' she mused as she came closer.

'Are you up for it or not?'

It was clear as day now. She was serious, and she was interested.

'Are you sure you could even handle me?'

Oh great, genius. Where'd that come from? He wondered internally.

'I think.. ' Shepard drawled as she positioned herself right in front of him. Looking him square in the eyes. 'I could handle you just as well as you handle the Normandy, Fly Boy.. '

He gulped. He was sure she heard and saw it based on her next words..

'In fact.. ' She leaned forward so close their mouths were almost touching before shifting so she was just beside his ear 'I think I could handle you while you handle the Normandy..'

Ah! There you have it :) My first Mass Effect attempt.. now.. I expect to hear from Shoker fans telling me if I should continue this little one shot :P Hopefully I'll be better at the smut stuff by then. :) I've gotta work on getting Joker Dialogue too.. I can't believe I put the filthy mouth on Shep and not Joker.. What is the world coming to when the Commander hits on her subordinates? :) I tell you.. its sexy :)
