A/N: This is just something that I had floating in my mind for a few days and decided to bring the thought some life. Not sure if I want to continue the story. Let me know your thoughts and any advice! Thanks
Shepard entered the Normandy sweaty and exhausted from the Cerberus raid. To her surprise everything went smoothly. Shepard, Garrus and Liara located several of the Reaper tech devises with no effort at all, even with the constant flow of Cerberus men attempting to stop them; they flew through the mission with ease. Of course in no small part to the wonderful combat chemistry that seemed to flow expertly between the three of them. This was a much needed boost to the crews moral. Lately things haven't been going as Shepard had hoped. Udina was forcibly shot and killed by Shepard's own doing; and if Major Alenko wouldn't have ended up trusting the Commander she would have been pressured into shooting him as well. This she would have never been able to live with even if doing so would save the council members and keep Cerberus from fully controlling the Citadel.
The commander decided to check up on Joker before heading up to her quarters for a much needed shower. She had been recently swarmed with things that needed to be done and hadn't been able to check up on her favorite pilot.
"Hey Commander, nice work down there! It feels good to finally sweep a win under our belts." Joker sent a small smile towards the Commander, knowing all well the amount of stress she was under.
"Yeah, it sure does. How's everything up here? I hope EDI's not bothering you too much with all of her human behavior questions." Shepard replied with a wide grin on her face knowing all too well that she was.
"Yeah, about that Commander… You should visit the cockpit more often. Some of her questions are way above my pay grade!"
Shepard let out an overly animated laugh and began her retreat towards the elevator, shouting back a response. "Well maybe if you answer some of the questions correctly we'll give you a raise!"
"Really? 'cuz that'd be sweet!"
Shepard shook her head and grinned to herself as she entered the elevator.
While stripping off her clothes, she felt a cold chill run down her spine. Her cabin always seemed to have a cool draft; standing in front of her terminal naked only confirmed her suspicions. She quickly checked if she had any new messages and if any of them were marked urgent. To her surprise none were, so she decided the ones she did receive could be checked later. She quickly walked into her bathroom and turned the shower nozzle to blazing hot. Since getting the Cerberus cybernetic implants, normal warm water temperature just never did it for her anymore. The temperature of the water that hit the spot for Shepard would surely burn the skin of a normal person. This thought seemed to always slightly depress the Commander, only reminding her that she could never truly be her old self again.
She finished her shower with a quickened pace, remembering everything that needed to get done. Wrapping a towel around her body she stepped out of the shower and walked down the short flight of stairs over to her dresser, which held a clean uniform. But before putting on her uniform she grabbed her favorite hot pink laced bikini underwear. These were the ones that barely covered her ass, but supplied a ton of comfort, perfect to wear under a stiff uniform. As she slipped them on and felt the fabric slowly slide up her legs and finally stop at their designated place, she let out a soft moan. Not fully remembering the last time she was touched down there. This only further frustrated her. As she was about to grab a matching bra from the metal drawer, she heard her door hiss open. Fully prepared to inflict a gentle biotic push on the intruder she hesitated as she saw who it was standing in the doorway.
"Commander I was hoping I could… Oh, shit I'm sorry." Kaidan hastily retreated out of the room, but not before Shepard caught a glance of his face quickly turning bright cherry red. This placed a wide grin upon her face as a giggle escaped her lips. Just as she was thinking about her sexual frustrations, her ex-lover strides in seeing her half naked, perfect!
Getting dressed as fast as her exhausted limbs would let her, she made her way over to the door and was surprised to find Kaidan patiently waiting. She noticed that his face had returned to his normal slightly tanned color.
"Commander I apologize for intruding like that. I should have at least knocked or had Joker let you know I was coming up. It won't happen again."
His formality not going unnoticed, Shepard decided to mess with the Major's head for a bit. See where his feelings currently lie. It had only been a few days since he asked Shepard if he could join the Normandy's crew again. They barely had the time to discuss their personal lives and where they currently stood.
"Sounds like that's set in stone, I wouldn't have mind another intrusion like that and maybe next time I won't be the only one who's half naked." Her seductive smile escaped her lips and she could see the Major shift his feet uncomfortably, not fully knowing how he should respond. Before he even had the chance Shepard piped up. "Why don't we carry this conversation in my quarters, shall we?"
She motioned for him to enter; hesitantly he did, making his way over to the couch. He shot a glance toward the wet towel that was now lying in place where Shepard just seconds ago stood half naked. When he rudely barged in he happened to get a quick glimpse of the outline of her breast, and that ass, this was normally enough to set him off, but the situation between them had yet to be resolved which left him with no clue as to where they currently stood. He shook his head and resumed to the reason why he came up here in the first place.
An hour had passed by as they began to come to an end to their conversation regarding additional improvements that could be made to the Normandy. Which they now hope would help improve their chances for the upcoming fight with the Reapers. Shepard was glad that he asked to come aboard the Normandy not because she still had strong feelings for him but because his skills and valued experience were hard to come by these days.
"Well, I think that's all I wanted to discuss with you, if you'll excuse me." He got up from the all too comfortable couch and started to make his way to the door.
"Kaidan, wait." He stopped in his tracks with his back facing her. "Please, stay." He could hear the slight hint of desperation that trailed her voice. He could never deny this side of Shepard, the side that rarely ever showed its face to the light. A side that was buried deep inside her, one that he only fully experience once in all the time he'd known her.
Seeing that he wasn't moving, Shepard slowly got up and made her way towards him. She lightly placed her hands on both sides of his back where his ribs were. She could feel his muscles tighten under her slight touch, and then relax as he let out a slight sigh. He had forgotten how her touch felt comforting against his body. He missed it. Noticing that he didn't protest she slightly deepened the grip, moving her hands to his stomach, she could feel his new addition of abdomen muscles. Her lips slowly let off a smile as she stepped slightly forward allowing her body to be flush against his back fully embracing him in a hug. He dropped the information pad that he was holding in his hands and placed them on top of hers. He couldn't bear to let himself protest her hug, he longed for her touch too much. Closing her eyes she tried to soak in every second of this precious moment. Breathing in she smelt his musky scent, the one that she adored so much, one that she will never forget.
Slightly Kaidan shifted around so he could face her. "I missed you." The words came out as a soft whisper.
Shepard smiled, "I've missed you too." He tightened his grip around her forcing her to look away and place the side of her face firmly into his chest. Kaidan let out a soft sigh and lightly kissed the top of her head.
"And here I was trying to be all professional with you. Boy did that backfire." A slight chuckle slipped out of Shepard's mouth.
"I'm glad it did," she paused, leaned up on her toes and kiss Kaidan's lips. His grip tightened around her waist as he deepened the kiss. Shepard managed to break open his lips and quickly slide in her tongue. Kaidan let out a husky moan as he mirrored her talented movement. Feeling his heart beat increase rapidly. Shepard's hand slowly slid from his upper back to his chest then further down until they made it to his belt. She began to unbuckle the belt with a quickened desperate pace.
"Uh Shepard, sorry to interrupt, but we're just floating around in space for almost two hours now with no destination what-so-ever. So I was wondering when you were, you know, going to set one?"
"Joker I told you the Commander is busy!" EDI voiced her frustration
"Yeah, well excuse me, 'mom' but we're running low on fuel and I prefer not to be floating around in the Terminus System, who knows what could be out here!"
Kaidan let out a soft laugh as he loosened his grip, "déjà vu?" His gaze rested on Shepard's light red brown colored eyes. A very unique color, one he had never seen on anyone until he met her.
She rolled them, clearly annoyed, "Yea, thanks for the reminder Joker."
"Just doing my extremely underpaid job, ma'am." A hint of sarcasm traced his voice; Shepard closed the comm before anymore comments were heard from his end.
"Well, another classic rude interruption made by the all too famous Jeff "Joker" Monroe." She slipped out of the loving embrace and made her way to the bathroom mirror. She made sure she looked presentable removing the displeased frustrated look off her face and replaced it with the 'Commander Shepard' façade. As she stepped out of the bathroom Kaidan gave her the once over and let out a slight laugh.
"What? Is there a problem?" Shepard quizzically looked at Kaidan.
"No, it's just; it always amazes me how quickly you snap back into the Commander mode. It's very impressive. If I was a random person and glanced over at you now, I would have never guessed that you were about to get thoroughly fucked."
A loud gasp escaped Shepard's mouth as shock encompassed her face. She never experienced this side of Kaidan before and yet something inside of her kind of enjoyed it. Kaidan merely let out a loud husky laugh.
"Shall we?" He held out his hand for her to grasp as he led them out of her personal quarters.
