Author's Note: Warning! Female Shepard Being In Love With Liara T'Soni ahead! If this offends you press the back button now!
So again, I hadn't planned on writing this at all. I blame this on reading this prompt: masseffectkink. live journal . com / 5020 .html ? thread = 18949020 #t18949020 (Don't forget to remove the spaces). I also took a little headcanon from 'Marked.' No, you do not need to read that before reading this as they are different Shepards.
Embarrassing Packages
by SpaceRanger
She was sitting on the floor of their living room with the package before her when she discovered The Problem.
In hindsight, Liara should've known that opening Shepard's package was a bad idea.
When she had first seen the aforementioned package, a shiver of dread rolled down her spine as if some unholy alliance had been forged and it told her: "THROW AWAY THE PACKAGE! NOW!" But the combination of Shepard not being back for another hour and her own curiosity had griped her. Plus, she reasoned with herself, Liara's own name had been written on the package as well… twice.
Granted it was written "To Liara and Shepard from Liara's fairy Godparents" but her reasoning said that part of the package's contents was meant for her as well.
And she was right about that unholy alliance. Liara was still so horrified and stunned by the items within she didn't hear her omni-tool beep to announce Shepard's return until she heard her bondmate trudge loudly through the living room where the asari spent the entire day losing the fight against her intense desire to know.
She rushed to throw everything in the box and toss it out the window but it was too late. Shepard had already swooped in and claimed her with a hug, her lips pressing a kiss to her cheek.
"Mmmhhmmm, missed you." Shepard purred then turned her head slightly to nuzzled Liara's cheek.
The strong stink of what smelled like weeks of unwashed sweat, smoke, alcohol, and gun residue made Liara gag, distracting her from The Problem. She turned her head to face her bondmate while using one of her hands to push the human far enough away from her to see Shepard's face.
"Shepard! What is that smell?!" The human's entire face lights up as if she'd been waiting for that question for years and grinned widely enough to show teeth while gleefully exclaiming,
"Manly Smell!"
"Manly…?" Liara gave Shepard confused look. Shepard nodded as if that phrase was the wisest set of words she'd ever said.
"See, the gang and I agree that everything we just did was Manly. We Manly blew past speed limits with the mako. We Manly kicked down doors. We Manly shot the bad guys. And we Manly blew up the station. So this… is the smell of my Manliness." Liara frowned and lightly shoved the human in the direction of their bedroom.
"Your 'Manliness" stinks and you need a shower and a bath or six." Shepard made a noncommittal sound and slumped forward to drape herself over the asari's back. Liara stood up, causing the human to be pulled along with her and walked towards the direction of their bedroom. Yet, Shepard still didn't let go.
"Shepard~." The warning in Liara's tone was unmistakable and earned her a whimper from her bondmate as Shepard reluctantly moved to do as she requested, least she be sent to The Couch once more.
Once she was satisfied that her bondmate had gotten in the shower, Liara realized that she needed to get some work done in regards to the mission Shepard and her team had returned from. So, she left to stand at her terminal, her mind already racing faster then her hands on the holo-keyboard, the package left forgotten until…
"This is a joke right?" The horrified sounding words from Shepard made Liara turn around. A part of her was pleased to note that the human had followed her request judging by her wet hair and the smell of soap. But that was overwritten as soon as she saw the box in Shepard's hands and her own shudder of horror ran down her spine again.
"I am… not sure."
"You haven't been talking to your dad about our… activities have you?" Liara blushed hotly.
"No!" There was a slight pause before she asked, "What about your mom?"
Shepard shook her head quickly, her body trembling a bit.
"No! There are just some things you just don't share with your parents!" Using her thumb and forefinger, Shepard pulled out something that looked like a circle of black ribbon with the ends of a half circle attached to its middle. "And vice versa."
"I believe that's a thong."
"I know, Love. I know." The despair in Shepard's voice was obvious as she dropped the thong back into the box, then the box itself. She kicked the box away from them with the side of her foot for good measure. Then, she walked toward Liara, eyeing the box warily as if it might grow walking implements and follow her. "I just don't know what's worse: us getting that or our parents actually talking."
"I don't understand?" Shepard turned away from the box, an expression of misery on her face.
"Love, you've met my mom! Your dad's open pervert-ness and my mom's open-only-among-friends/family-pervert-ness is a disaster for us waiting to happen. Family reunions will now consist of lots of juvenile hee-haw and 'Shepard, did you curl her toes? Grope her grinder? Grey her Warden? Explore her Deep Roads?'."
Shepard slapped her hand to her face and groaned. Liara didn't understand some of the phrases but she deduce that it was all "dirty talk" by context though admittedly the 'curl her toes' one was obvious even to her. But it was Shepard's horrible impression of Hannah and Aethyta when she said those phrases that had her fighting back giggles.
"Well, you have to admit, they know us too well." The human dropped her hand back to her side.
"Know us…? Love, if they knew us then they'd know that I'd love it if you don't wear anything at all -" Shepard's eyes raked her body up and down lewdly and Liara felt a shiver of arousal to crawl along the same path. Her bondmate managed to get a hold of herself and shook her head.
"I would never focus ever again if you do but not the point. The point is there are pink panties in there." Shepard shuddered. "Very feminine, lacy pink panties that are see-through in the back. See-through, Love, See. Through.
Liara took Shepard's hand and hooked the human's fingers against the top of the asari's pants.
"I can model those for you next week."
"Next… " Shepard's voice trailed off and Liara felt a flash of smugness at her bondmate's blatant stare as the asari slowly lowered those fingers and the pants, revealing the black thong she had purchased on a whim right after Aethyta and Hannah shoved the package into her hands with almost twin-like conspiring grins.
Shepard's breath hitched and the silly complaisant 'I'm yours' Shepard vanished, replaced by powerful primal 'you're mine' Commander. Liara could practically feel Shepard's arousal and possessiveness flare up and it caused her own body to sing louder in response.
They almost didn't make it to the bed.
