Garrus and female Shepard are totally into it. Suddenly, someone special interrupts: Thane.

(Lots of jealousy, right on the Normandy.) :-)

Warning: As usual: Sexual and strong language.

"Come on, fight me, bro"

"James, its Thane." Joker tried to calm his buddy with those big and also very well pumped up muscles down.

"I do not care. He could be called Peter or whatever his name choice is and I´m still willing to challenge him."

"Uhm, well – I was not referring to that particular topic. It is just Thane, the assassin."

"Assassin, Templar, Mage, dinosaur, ...I don´t care" James cracked his muscles.

"James, you just don´t know what you´re doing" Joker was trying it again. He turned the brim of his cap to the back with a determined grip.

"There is no need to worry. I do not accept" Thane answered calmly.

"Oh I see the drell is still too impressed by my amazing statue. He better be. Look at this." He tensed his muscles. "I can not see that on you drell. It seems that jumping from one foot to the other while taking a shower is the only way for you to get wet as thin as you are compared to me." he provoked.

"Whoooooooooooh" Joker yelled.

Thane cocked his head and crossed his arms.

Shepard entered.

Siha. No one was blaming him in front of her. This fridge seemed to have no interest to stop with these provocations until he would accept his fight. So he had to step in and give it an end.

His black eyes, filled with determination, stared at James. He spoke with stoic serenity: "I see. There is no other way, Officer."

"Wait. What? Did you not say…" Thane immediately interrupted:

"Laying Officer Vegas down to the ground without weights on my body? Indeed."

"OH NOW IT´S GETTING HOT IN HERE!" Joker yelled.

Shepard laughed. She shook her head and spoke softly towards Thane: "Please, we still need him."

"HEY! Are you kidding me, Lola? He barely has a chance to win. I mean, take a look at him" James stood in for himself.

"Sometimes it´s not just the appearance" Joker admitted.

"Well, in that case, yes" James again, "so come on my thin friend".

They walked towards the middle of the room.

"Let´s go match" James said loudly. His outstretched hands transformed into steely fists. James was ready. It took only one quick move of Thane and James smashed down to the ground. This harsh kick of the assassin felt like a sharp knife. That fight went actually quicker than the speed of light.

"WHAT THE YOU CHEATED!" he yelled disgustedly.

All laughed.

Shepard studied Thane. She had to admit that his body really doesn´t had much muscles –unlike James one. Its his quickness combined with his tactics and his strength that made him so powerful and such a good assassin.

James sighed and he finally stood up: "So. Now. Who wants to fight Commander Shepard? Thane!"

"No. My apology. I do not fight Siha. " he answered.

James shook his head, thinking what a pussy. He said: "Lola, come on! I will do it!"

"Lola?" Thane asked.

"Siha?" James asked back.

"GISELLERY!".

"What?" they all looked at Kaidan who has joined.

"What?" Kaidan started "I wanted to say a weird sounding stupid name too."

"You.." Thane and James approached Kaidan.

"Both of you: Do not make fun of the name I gave to her." Thane spoke angrily.

"You neither! I can call her Lola as long and as often as I want!" James.

"Both of you are fools, it´s actually Commander!" Kaidan admitted.

Joker was yelling: "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" and they did.

Shepard shook her head, sighed and she went away.

The main room was empty, neither Liara nor Samantha were found. It was already evening so most of the crew members seemed to be already in their cabin.

The Commander noticed that little shining light over the machinery room immediately. Someone was still at work. That meant that Garrus was even now working on the machinery. Shepard decided to check the machinery room and also on Garrus if everything´s going fine before she would seclude herself in her private quarters.

"Shepard. Do you need me for something?"

"Well I just wanted to have a quick look. And also check on you if everything is fine and how the work is going. But as I can see you are very hard-working you diligently bee you."

"Me what?"

"It´s a human phrase. "

"Oh. Well..yes. I´m making sure, everything is going fine here. I am taking my tasks very serious." "I see and I am proud that you are. Thank you, Garrus." He looked at her. She was giving him a smile. He smiled back or better said he tried to. He didn´t even know if she was able to recognize his smile since it was so much different from human ones. But as her smile grew bigger she should have noticed. "I..." Shepard started, chewing nervously on her lower lip. Garrus eyes stared at those biting lips. It looked so damn sexy. "What?" Shepard asked when she noticed that he was staring at her a way far too long. "That...uhm...well...kind of..biting." "Oh. Sorry." "No no it´s.. fine..it´s…...sexy" he murmured. She blushed. Did he complimented her? Fuck yes, he did. Shepard went nervous, sucking on her lower lip again – this time not even realizing it. "You really want to know, huh?..." Garrus was taking two steps forward. He´s the fuck getting closer. "What, what do you mean?" "You are playing with fire, Shepard." He said. "Oh well.." "You look cute" he interrupted. "What?" "Your cheek, they are blushed. It looks good." "My..my.." He took a last step forward and was standing right in front of her. He positioned both of his hands on the sides of her head. With a slow and careful movement he lifted her beautiful head a little bit more up, to fulfill his personal aim. He was now able to stare into her magnificent blue eyes. They had perfect eye contact. "I like it" he murmured.

Is this a dream? Shepards heart started to pound fast, hardly in her chest. She was feeling a big heat rushing straight through her body like an invisible flashlight. "I´m...glad you do" she whispered.

Slowly Shepard caressed the turians forearms. Firstly her hands had touched his lower arms, then, within a still slow movement she caressed his stronger upper arms. It felt so good to touch him. His forehead met hers.

"I want you Garrus", she sighed.

"I am glad to hear Shepard because I want you too."

Again she started to bite down her lower lip but this time she was exactly aware of what she was doing which drew him crazy.

When Thane, James and Kaidan, cheered up by Joker, finished their argument by laying one another down to the ground, Thane realized how stupid he had acted. He had to apologize. He was an assassin and not an idiot. How could he fell for a thing like that.

"I´m out" he spoke and left the guys straight behind his back.

He really had to apologize. Right. Now. He took the elevator and thought of what he could say. "Siha. I…" No. Maybe:"My apology.." Mh. He couldn't think any further. He was already there. He went straight to her door. Strange. Was she not in her cabin? Where could she be?

"Good night Samantha!"

"Good night, Liara, sleep well. And promise me that you´re projects are asleep for today as well. You need to relax too!"

"Ok, I promise" the asari women laughed.

"Nighty night!" Samantha stepped away.

Liara went through the corridor, switching off all the lights. On her way to the main hall, she recognized Joker, James and Kaidan.

"You guys are still up?"

"Well, but not much longer. We´re heading towards the bed now."

Kaidan yawned.

"Yeah, I´m already tired."

"We had a good fight guys." Joker.

"Oh no, tell me, did you fought again?"

"Of course. Come on, Liara, we are three alpha males."

She started to laugh: "You? Alpha males? You three?"

"Yes yes!" James.

"I agree" Joker.

"Me of course too" Kaidan said while he winked at her.

"Well then, alpha men, sleep well and just be careful that you´re pride is not lifting you up too much in the air that night."

All laughed.

"Good night, Liara."

The asari woman crossed the main hall, heading towards her cabin.

Strange. Someone was standing right in front of her "door".

"Good evening", Thane said with his deep sounding voice which made Liara immediately blush.

"Oh, hi Thane. What are you doing here? You waited for me? Something happened? Are you fine?"

He smirked. "I thought Shepard would be with you."

"Oh" she answered. "No Shepi isn´t here. Why? Is she ok?"

"Yes, indeed, she is fine. I was looking out for her. I planned to visit her at her cabin but she did not open. That is why I thought she would be with you."

"Well normally she´s taking a shower at that time. That would cause the not opening door. So, I think it would be the best if you wait for a little moment till she finished showering and then visit her on her private cabin just one more time."

"I see. Sounds good. My thanks, Liara."

"No problem. You´re always welcome, Thane."

"Sleep good" he took her hand. The asari woman received a little kiss on the back of her hand. The assassin was acting totally gentleman which made her giggle. He didn´t want her to feel sad or giving her the feeling that he just spoke to her because he was looking out for Shepard.

He went to his cabin and waited. As soon as the minutes would pass by he would visit Shepards private cabin again.

"And what if they catch us?" Shepard said to Garrus. "Mh….this would be the attraction to it." He paused."It´s already evening. They are all in their cabin. No one´s coming up here." he added seductively.

"Garrus I really ca..."she was interrupted by turian plates. His mouth searched for her tongue. He pressed her against the machinery, holding both of her arms up, right over her head. He looked into her eyes and pressed his hips against hers. He let go of her mouth and looked even deeper into her wonderful blue eyes. Shepard couldn´t brace herself any longer.

"You...you got me" she whispered. He bent over, putting his turian mouth straight on her little human mouth.

He was so sexy. How he was holding her hands up and how he pressed himself against her... She already felt now a little wet. His turian mouth was massaging hers and suddenly she felt a tongue nudging on her lips. She opened, letting his tongue in. He searched for hers. She quickly nudged his tongue with hers and then laughed lightly into the kiss. Garrus was getting hotter. He was holding her hands up with just one hand now and with the other hand he was stroking downwards her body. The turian stopped by her breasts which he caressed softly through her clothes. Shepard moaned. One tongue licked and slipped over the other. Both eyes were closed. It really felt amazing. Garrus groaned. Shepard pressed her hips more against his and he answered by pressing her even stronger against the wall to show her that actually he was in control of the dominant part here. He let go and opened her jacket by pulling the zip slowly downwards. His tongue slid over his lips. He was hungry to see what was beneath it. Shepard let it happen. She was still fascinated by this turian tongue and also his sex appeal. As soon as the jacket was open he removed it gently from her shoulders and he looked at her. How beautiful. That flat belly those muscles these breasts...She was still wearing her bra but he still was able to catch a look of her wonderful breasts. Even with this little material they were exposed to him. They looked so soft. Compared to turian females these ones seemed to be much better. Turian breasts already looked harder. But those softies...He wanted to touch and to explore them. He looked into her eyes for permission and she nodded. He slowly pulled his talon out and he touched them by dipping carefully into her breast. It was even softer than he expected. How wonderful..Shepard opened her Bra and threw it into the other corner. Her breasts stood free and as it was not the hottest place she started to gain goose bumps. Her nipples stood up immediately. What cute pink nipples...Garrus thought amazed by the fact how they had changed. It looked so pretty. She looked so pretty. "Can I...uhm...give it a lick?" He asked with his voice causing her to melt. "Yes..." she breathed. He bent down, his tongue moved out and he started to circle her nipple within big cycles. Shepard laughed because it tickled her. "Did I...do something wrong?" "No it´s just...it tickled."

"Then..." Garrus licked over her breast again, nudged her tight nipple and circled it closer with more pressure. "Does this tickle too Shepard?"

"N..." she gasped air "No...its...uh..uff..uh.." He understood. His tongue slipped quickly over her hardened nipple. She wanted to grab his head because of that horniness he caused her but he was still holding her hands tight. She had no option left. Shepard bit down on her lower lip again and moaned. His tongue slid from her right breast to her left one. "They are so tight" he murmured as he dedicated himself to her left nipple. Her left nipple also received a quick up and down sliding turian tongue. "Oh fuck..." Shepard groaned. Garrus made his way back up, pressing his mouth back on hers. His kiss was so hard that it felt like her head seems to be quite in the wall. His tongue touched and licked over Shepards wildly.

"Now..it´s your turn..." she said between their wild kisses. He took his upper clothes off and finally freed Shepards hands. Wow. She never had seen a turian that naked before and yet he wasn´t even completely naked. This strength...those muscles...Garrus let go and was excited what Shepard would think about him. His question was answered by a lick down on his neck. Shepards tongue licked over his upper body, following his muscles. She then covered Garrus up with little kisses. Sometimes the kisses involved a tongue too sometimes they didn´t. This definitely turned him on. Shepards tongue was amazing - brighter compared to turians, soft, wet and Shepard really had a feeling for it. He felt her tongue all over his body and his blood rushed through his head. He needed to fuck her. Right now. Right here. He did not care if anyone would hear them.

Garrus grabbed Shepard by her shoulders pulled her back up and ripped her pants away from her legs including her underwear panties. His tongue slipped back into her mouth. He wanted this sexy tongue his body was caressed by. While kissing her he took his lower clothes off too. As they were standing there playing with their tongues caressing one anothers, Shepard noticed that some of her juices dripped down to the ground. She the fuck literally dripped.

Garrus recognized a new smell...it wasn´t sweat it was something more…..intimate… it was like...what. Wait. Was it really? Could this be? Is it possible that...? Garrus pulled his tongue back in and started to kiss her chin her chest then her belly until the smell grew stronger. As he looked more downwards he finally knew why.

Garrus changed his position and kneeled down before her to take a closer look. How sexy it was. This woman dripped right in front of his eyes because of her horniness. He would fuck her so hard. How very damn sexy that was, Spirits, turian females never did that. It was even so much - quite too much work to come to their juices since the plates firstly blocked them out. And this woman, his Shepard, just stood there exhilarated and dripped. He moaned. How damn sexy. What would happen if...his tongue slid over her slit.

Shepards eyes widened and her legs started to shake. Was he really?

Garrus moaned again. She smelt and tasted so good...he could literally smell her horniness. He slid his tongue again through her slit. He couldn´t barely hold himself much longer. How soft and pinky. How his tongue went straightaway wet by flipping just once through her slit. And the taste...this taste...Spirits it tastes so good. If he would just continue to lick over her, he would for sure get more of her wonderfully juices. So he did. "uh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!" Shepard blushed so much that her cheek already looked like tomatoes. "Garrus this...oh..uuuh..." Her juices flew out of her right into his mouth. "I want your...cock!" she screamed while coming so much. Garrus rose, he smiled at her and licked this yummy juice drops away from his turian plates.

"I want to blow your fucking cock!" the tomato said. Garrus laughed by the fact that she looked so cute as red as she was. He said: "You want to...well...maybe...this is not a good idea. Let me instead...penetrate you."

"Fuck why?! I´m offering you a free blowjob, others would die for that! Are you yourself trying to cockblock me?!" He had to laugh again. Cockblock? Was that a human term? What funny and strange words they were using. He definitely should notice that term for his next visit on Omega. He was sure his male turians needed to know.

"Well...no. I´m not...how did you say it...Cockblocking you. I am just...It is..." "Mhh?!" Shepard didn´t know if she should slap him for that. "Look, Shepard. I already got those things and it really isn´t something special. You know turian mouths are different from humans.. It is every time the same thing and I´m just tired of it. I want to.. explore more. So let´s head to the other step. Would you.. turn... around for me?" "I will show you something new, turian." She said ambitiously, went down on her knees and she started to lick with her soft tongue right on Garrus cock.

"Wait. What. Fuck.." He felt her caressing tongue. It felt so good on his cock he didn´t expected that. Her soft lips closed carefully around his shaft and she started to suck at him gently. "Now you got me Shepard" he murmured while he put his hands around her head. Spirits, it felt so good so damn good. Her lips, her mouth, her tongue. This gently sucking movement.. it made him mad. So mad. He couldn´t think clear any more. Oh he wanted her little mouth. She took more of his cock in. Was she...no...would she take.. all of it in...his thoughts were interrupted by a quiet choking. Shepard had taken his cock completely. Her choking turned rightaway into a moaning as she got eased to it. She started to suck him intensely. Garrus hard cock glided slowly out and deep back into Shepards mouth. Garrus felt high. So high. It was the best thing ever happening to him. He looked down, watched her sexy moves on his cock with her mouth and then he recognized a lightening in her eyes. She was focusing his eyes with hers and was that..a smile? It was. He could see her smiling through her eyes. She really was smiling at him with his cock in her mouth. What a picture. He wanted to lick her again. To give her something back for that wonderful moment he explored. Oh he would lick her so intensely. Her juices would flow out of her, unto him and he would the fuck not stop he would just continue, go on, licking her soft cute slit he would stimulate her, oh he would...Shepards eyes widened and she stared at Garrus. His thinking was immediately interrupted: "I´m...I´m sorry..." he had come right in her mouth.

His warm turian sperm glided down her throat. It tasted not bad.

"I...I like it" she said while she rose her head, looking straight into Garrus face. Did he heard right? Was he in a dream? In front of him kneeling Shepard swallowing his cum and if that even isn´t enough telling him that she liked it while licking over her lips to get even the rest of it and then swallowing it again?!

Turian women never did that they spitted the cum away like it was poison. And she just absorbed it and even enjoyed it.

"Oh..my...Love" he murmured. He lifted her up carefully, right into his arms and pressed her against the machinery. Shepard squealed as soon as her ass and also her back made contact with the cold metal. "I´m gonna fuck you sooo good" he said, leaned his forehead against Shepards and Garrus glided inside her - deeply. A big moaning went out of the turians mouth. Fuck was that hot! His brain really stopped to work now. Her genital area was so tight. He never could imagine...he never intruded into something that was that tight and that warm and that wet it felt just...amazing. He loved it. "Oh yeah fuck my pussy." ."Pussy huh?" He definitely liked that new word. "So...I´m...penetrating your...Pussy right now?" he asked "yes..." she sighed, "you are." He groaned by being turned on that much and he fucked her harder. "Oh yes please! Fuck me!" she screamed. He pressed his hips stronger against hers. His cock went deeper and deeper. His one hand was grabbing her throat and he was holding her at that position fucking her hard against the machinery while his other hand held her back gently. She was his.

The door bounced up and someone stepped in.

Thane.

Shepard turned her head and she fell right into a kind of shock as soon as her eyes noticed him while Garrus being that much turned on didn´t seem to care. He turned his head towards him while he still slid into Shepard. "Buddy we´re almost finished please stay outside." He groaned.

Siha, Thane thought. Garrus just signed for his death schedule. He would be a dead man. It did not take two seconds and Thane stood already right at them. What the...Garrus thought, he couldn´t think any further. Something hit him greatly.. a great force which he never experienced during his whole life. The assassin rammed inside of the turian so that he and Shepard got divided. He pushed Garrus further away from her. The assassin slammed his fist with a speeded up force right into Garrus aiming his side neck where a sensitive streak was located, knocking him out. Garrus collapsed sidewards to the ground. It went so quick that Shepard couldn´t even act.

"THANE NO!" she screamed. He ran towards her "Siha. My apology. You are all right?" he asked and grabbed her hands quickly with his own. She just stared at him with big eyes opened. He grabbed her head immediately and focused her face. He tried it again:"Siha. You are fine?!" The voice of the assassin sounded concerned. Finally she said something. "You...you hit.."

"The turian?" he asked derogative. It could have been a fucking krogan and he would not care, smashing or knocking him out away from his Siha.

Thane locked the door behind them with his quick fingers so that no one else could enter into that kind of situation. He still looked forward , he had everything under control. He focused Siha.

Her clothes were on the other side. Thane noticed it and Shepard looked embarrassed and so she covered her breasts with one hand and her intimacy with her other hand. "Siha. Put it on" he moved out of his jacket and threw this piece of leather right towards her. He would not allow his Siha to stand naked any longer. He went to the other corner and grabbed her clothes, bringing them carefully towards her. She nodded and put them back on quickly. He was looking at a still shocked Shepard. "Thane...it´s not that...I wanted it." He shook his head and went closer to her. His right hand embraced her right wrist and with his left hand he went to her head. He caressed a wisp of hair back behind her ear while he looked into her eyes deeply. He whispered: "You don´t know..". His hand went to her chin and he held it tight while his black eyes were absorbing her blue ones. Shepard felt stoned. He ripped her right into his arms. His strong hands on her back pressed her against his chest tightly. He enlaced his arms around her protectively. One arm laid over her hips. The assassin caressed the back of her head softly. "I am here Siha" he whispered.

Garrus gained back his frame. "In opposition to you drell, I´m spelling her name right." Garrus started. Thane stormed towards the already on the ground laying turian, grabbed his head within his two hands and slammed it down to the ground again. He knew what he was making fun of. Siha. His Siha. How dare he. "NO! THANE! CALM THE FUCK DOWN!" Shepard screamed.

"Siha. Out." he said calmed. Too calmed. "I don´t think that that is a good idea Thane. You just misunderstood everything. The point is that.."

"NOW." he interrupted her. He sounded so deep and strong that her body started to shake lightly. "Do not force me to bring you out myself". Shepard had no chance. " Alright..." She never had seen Thane acting like that. She left the room.

After a big headache Garrus moaned, holding his painful head. "Are you fucking crazy?" he asked. Thane didn't answer. He was totally into his thoughts: He would never fuck her against a machinery or even if so then she never would be that that naked against such a cold front. He would have put something around her so that she wouldn't get affected. Garrus tried to lift himself up from the ground but Thane slammed him back down. "Turian, answer me quickly: What is she for you" he spoke angrily. Then he grabbed Garrus roughly. "She is my love." Garrus answered. "My apology, your love?!" Thane started to laugh absurdly strange. "You had sex with your love against the cold machinery?! What if she would hurt herself?! What if the machinery was too cold and she would get an illness or an infection or inflammation out of that?!" He clenched his fists and punched to the ground, right next to Garrus head.

"I...I´m..good point." Garrus thought about that. But then he started to think more about the fact why he had been so stupid by letting the door unlocked. Then he remembered. If he would have known THAT then he would definitely had locked the doors. He expected some kind of wild turian sex and yes he was turned on by the fact that in that case someone could have stepped in. But if he would have known that it would be THAT kind of sex with Shepard he…of course he would have locked the doors. But he didn't know it. Now he was having this drell problem.

"You put your ugly talons away from her do you understand me?" Thane murmured angrily.

"Never"

Another fist hit him. "I am willing to smash you up, turian" he said with such disgust and scum. Thane breathed deeply. Then he continued: "You will never be so headless with her again or I will hunt you down myself for the rest of my life."

This drell could be happy that he was so stoned from the sex with Shepard or else he would be the one fucking him up.

"All right" Garrus gave in.

The door opened and Thane stepped away, angry.

"Garrus!" Shepard hurried towards him. "I´m fine" Garrus said. "We just had a little talk. He could be happy that my…" She kissed him. He moaned and pulled her back into his arms. "I am so sorry" "No. I am. Thane was right it was negligent." He pulled her into his arms. "You have to know that you are something special to me. You have to understand me right." "I do Garrus I do" she said and kissed his cheek softly. He turned his head and they were kissing again. "I feel so ashamed" "Don't. I still had the best sex of my whole life". He said smiling to her. "Me too." She admitted. "So let´s forget about this fucking drell. He just could be happy that my brain was away." Shepard giggled. They cuddled. "I definitely enjoyed it and I want to repeat it – but the next time without a fucking on crack being drell."

"I´m glad to hear."

"Wanna sleep in my bed tonight?" Garrus asked. "Of course!".

He wasn't hurt that much. His hard turian plates had protected him well. But still he had a little headache. Shepard noticed it by the way he was holding his head. She looked at him worried. "It´s okay. I will take a cold shower . In turian culture a cold shower will do enough."

"Really?"

"Hundert percent sure. So if you have to grab some stuff for tonight we´ll meet at my cabin. "

"Thank you Garrus. "

She gave him a last kiss and they stood up and headed out. "I´ll wait for you" he said while he kissed her cheek. "I´ll hurry up!". "Naked" he added.

They laughed.

Garrus went to the medicine chest and headed after he had taken a special turian headache pill straight to the showers.

Shepard walked to her cabin. She really needed a little breakout.

She entered her room and took a deep breath in. She definitely had to think about this. She walked towards her bed and suddenly she noticed someone. She stagnated.

Thane!

"How did you get..." she asked literally confused.

He did not answer. He just stood there and stared at her.

"EDI..." Shepard said angrily.

He suddenly started to move, went further and pulled Shepard right into his arms. She could feel his heart spinning.

"Siha. If you want to say something, of course" he started. She knew exactly what he meant. "I really like him Thane. I..I love him.."

Now it was Thanes turn to take a deep breath in. "If that is really the case...then I...have to apologize. Even to him."

"Yes this would be a good idea. I don´t want any trouble on the ship."

So he had to accept that.

"But do not forget: I am here. I am already here for you as long as I live Siha."

"Thank you Thane I really appreciate that. I am there for you too." Not the way I am for you he thought and pulled her even closer and further into his arms.

They stayed and rested in that position for a while. He kissed her forehead softly and went away to his cabin.

She took a quick shower to make sure she wouldn't smell like Thane after this embracement. She rushed through the floors straight to Garrus cabin. He opened and locked it. They headed straight into the bed and cuddled. "I love you" she whispered. "As do I" he admitted holding her tight on his chest. After another hour of cuddling and joking they finally fell asleep almost forgetting the weird interruption they had by remembering their hot sex.

Thane could not sleep. This picture of Garrus and Siha wouldn´t go away. How this turian touched her how this turian fucked her...He dragged himself out of bed and he threw some strikes in the air. He remembered that Sihas lips even had something blue. Did she...She had to. His strikes went faster ,quicker, harder. He would not allow any harm to her.

The next morning Shepard awoke right next to Garrus. She smiled and watched him in his deep sleep. How happy she was. Waking up next to him was a great thing. Since he was sleeping deep she went out of the bed quietly and made her way silently up to the bathroom. She made herself ready for the day. She tiptoed out of the room and went to the main hall.

Some of her crew members were already up so she greeted them a good morning and walked to the dining table.

Thane, Samantha and Liara already had started breakfast. Samantha and Liara made their standard morning jokes. Everything seemed to be fine. "Would you like to have a cup of tea Commander? Maybe for tea time my darling" Samantha asked with an over-the-top-pronounced-sounding-British-accent. They laughed and Shepard received her cup of tea in a stylish British way.

All laughed instead of one. Someone was just quiet and calmed. It was Thane. He watched the situation.

Shepard wanted to take a seat on the opposite side of him.

"No. Join me, Siha." His green arm pointed to a seat next to him.

"Thane that is ridiculous" Shepard answered and she shook her head.

As long as he lived he would protect her. "There, Siha." He said with a much deeper and more graving tone while his arm was still pointing to that spot right next to him. Shepard never heard that sound of seriousness within him. With that you didn´t play with him and not at all with an assassin and even less with an assassin named Thane Krios. She obeyed.

"Thank you" he answered with his still deepened voice. He gave her a little smile. Suddenly the remembrance of the last night rushed through Shepards head. How could she forget about that….

Liara talked about her new inventions and also some of her programs, Samantha was reading an article and even Thane seemed to read something. Liara sipped on her coffee. The she gave Shepard a big smile.

Garrus joined.

Shepard blushed.

Thanes body tensed. He gripped his cup with his fingers hardly.

"Good morning" the turian said. He took a seat on the other side, next to Samantha and Liara.

"Good morning Garrus", it was Liara. "How was the night?"

As soon as she asked that question Thanes cup broke into little pieces. The pressure in his fingers and in his hand was too big so that the poor cup could not stand against that.

"Thane!" James joined when it happened. "What the fuck?" he asked and grabbed Thane on his shoulders "I see no pain no gain baby! Right! It seems that Thane is joining us in our workout-special. So let me teach you: Those aren´t barbells buddy those are c-u-p-s. Join me later in my room for real barbells."

"What for a workout special?" Samantha asked.

"No days off, Baby! Kaidan and Joker are already in it too" James replied.

All started to laugh.

Thane went away straight towards the shower.

When Thane was gone Garrus changed his position and took the seat of Thane instead.

"Well the night was quite….good…I suppose…." He looked at Shepard and smiled "but also could be better" he acknowledged. This was clearly an indication towards Thane that only Shepard understood.

"Thats fine." Liara answered.

Garrus positioned his talons on Shepards leg right under the table and caressed it.

Samantha asked James if he would like something to drink.

"I´ll take a double coffee with some extra protein!" he said.

All started to laugh again.

The water run over Thanes body. If this was really her decision and it seemed so then he had to gain back his poise. Even if he still wasn´t satisfied with this decision he had to support her. In everything and also with everything. He never wants to be a problem to her. He would accept and respect her decision. He wants her happy. But wouldn´t she be happier with him at her side instead of this turian?

Thane met Garrus at the floor.

"Officer Vakarian, I...my apology."

"No problem Thane I understand. You care for her."

"Thats...it...she wanted it. I forget about that. As long as she wants it I am not allowed to interrupt."

What didn´t mean that he is also willing to do so.

Garrus appreciated that. They shook hands and walked down the floor.

"But...great hit" Garrus admitted.

Suddenly the two aliens heard a loud groan, it came out of the room right next to them.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR"

They stopped.

"YEAH GIVE IT TO ME BABY!" Jokers voice came straight out of the room.

Thane and Garrus stared at each other.

"YES RIGHT NOW RIGHT THERE YES YES YEEEEEEEEEEEEES!" James yelled roughly and with a loud moan.

"OUH YEAH I GOT THIS I JUST AAAAAAAAAAHHHH NEED OOOOOH TOOOO AAAARGH PUSH IT AHAAAAAAAA FURTHER DEEPER! OOOOH FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!" "YEEES! GIVE IT TO MEEE! YOU ALMOST GOT IT!"

Garrus knew that there were turian males mating together or even drells but...humans...this was obviously too weird. Or were their species not as much different as he supposed they were? He looked at Thane. It seemed that he was thinking some same thing.

"Well…..strange things can happen" Garrus admitted. "Indeed" a confused Thane answered.

Suddenly the door opened. EDI solved the situation. The room didn't look familiar; instead it looked like a gym. James and Joker were standing in the middle, lifting up some weights. When they recognized the faces of those two aliens, they must have realized the situation. So they replied: "What where you two fools thinking were doing?!"

They were still looking confused so James started to explain and yelled: "NO DAYS OFF BABY AS LONG AS WE DON'T HAVE A CHANCE TO HIT THE GYM, THE GYM IS COMING WITH US!" he added.

"Thats right!" Joker was clapping his hands.

Both had to laugh.

They all met at the lounge room. Garrus was sitting next to Siha. Thane still looked not satisfied but he had to get used to it.

The human males, instead of Kaidan, suddenly started to do some pushups right in the middle of a conversation. All looked confused.

"Kaidan you have to do some pushups too"

"Why are they doing this? And why does Kaidan has to do it too?" Liara asked.

"Becauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse" Joker started

"Because you arent taking no days off?" Garrus asked while he was holding Shepard close with his arms.

"EXACTLY BUDDY!"

All laughed.

Instead of Thane.

While everyones eyes were watching those pumping humans his eyes just focused Shepard being in the arms of Garrus. He had to get used to it he definitely had to….
