Visions and Nightmares

Shepard awoke suddenly, her see-through lace black neglishay drenched in sweat. She sat up breathing heavily, rubbing the sweat from her forehead as she swung her legs off the side of the bed onto the floor. She muttered to herself, whilst burying her face into her hands and rubbing her eyes.

"Just a dream."

A hand reached out, and settled around her shoulder, a deep voice spoke up.

"Another one of those damn visions?"

Startling Shepard, she lifted her head from her hands.

The deep voice belonged to that of Kaidan Alenko, Shepard's once lost love, now back together in their own apartment on the Citadel.

"Yeah, it was nothing really." Shepard replied, playing down the extent of the dream.

"Come on Shep, you don't have to put on a brave face for me" He said in a sympathetic tone.

He pulled her close, her head resting against his bare chest, as he sat up beside her, pulling the sheet around his lower half of his body.

Stroking her hair he whispered into her ear.

"I just want to look after you"

She lifted her head off his chest, and smiled contently at the man, before looking deep into his dark brown eyes.

"It's just the visions seem to be getting worse, after the collectors base was destroyed, the visions have gotten so much more intense, it's getting scary."

She looked down at the floor as her cheeks redden at being scared of a dream.

He lifted her chin with his hand as he pulled her back against his chest.

"It's okay to be scared, I can't imagine what you've seen in those visions of yours, but I don't expect it to be anything nice. You have had to deal with the whole weight of the galaxy on your shoulders and you have been through a lot, more than any asari could say in their life time!"

"I couldn't do it without my team –Without you Kaidan." She wraps her arms around the back of his neck as she leans in to kiss him.

Before her lips reached his he added,

"We couldn't do any of it without you."

As their lips secured they both felt a surge of biotic power run up their spines making their bodies tingle all over.

Pulling away with a spark between their lips, Shepard giggles with amusement.

"Damn biotics getting in the way, are you alright Shep?" Kaidan asks worryingly

She smiles at him resting her forehead against his,

"Kaidan I'm fine."

"And the Reaper visions?"

"Nothing to worry about now, I've got you here to protect me."

Shepard says wrapping herself up in Kaidan even tighter.

"Just need to get out of this" She adds whilst pointing to her lace black neglishay,

"It's covered in sweat"

Lifting an eyebrow he stares down at the one piece lingerie she is wearing, it fit perfectly to her body, and was see-through in all the right places, with a small amount of lace for decoration. He could barely tear himself away, as his eyes transfixed on her, and her wonderfully sculptured body.

"I can help with that"

With a cheeky grin on his face, he lifts the one piece up over her head, staring at her body glistening from the beads of sweat all over her.

He pulls her into his lap, as she straddles him, removing the sheet that was barely covering him, revealing a naked Alenko,

"That's better," Shepard whispers looking down at his growing bulge.

He grabs her hips and hoists her into the air, whilst she is still straddling him. Giggling in delight as he gently lays her back on the bed.

He kisses her body up to her lips, kissing her all over, driving her wild with pleasure.

"You're-" Before finishing what he was saying he moves in to kiss her luscious lips.

"-so" kissing her again, her lips yearning for his once more,

"-damn" teasing her with his words in between his kisses.

"-sexy!" Finally giving her the kiss she craves, as his tongue slides into her mouth and their lips massage together.

He slides his hand up the side of her body, grazing her breast ever so slightly making her moan in enjoyment at his touch.

Their bodies so close now as they unite together as one, savouring every moment, as they move together in sync, their breathing much more rapid and heavy, their bodies getting warmer as their moans get louder.

"Ooh Kaidan" Shepard let out in his ear, as his body moved so perfectly on top of hers.

His body quivering with pleasure at the mention of his name being called by her, as he moves his lips to her neck, brushing her soft skins with his mouth, as the sensations tingle throughout her whole body.

She wraps her arms further around his back pulling him closer, to feel his heart beating.

He awoke suddenly to a loud scream, as he abruptly sat up immediately looking to his left, to the other side of the bed, he saw Shepard sat upright, her eyes wide open, completely silent now.

He wrapped his arms around her whilst glancing at the bedside clock.

7.48am it read.

"Shepard everything is going to be okay" He said trying to settle her.

No response.

"Shepard?"

Still no answer, the silence filled the room, as he asked again, with a worrying tone coming through in his voice.

"Shepard can you hear me?"

Still nothing, his voice began to wobble as he could feel his throat tighten.

Grabbing her face with his hands, to look directly into her eyes, he tried once more.

"Shepard please speak to me!"

Giving her a little shake to try and gain some response from her.

She did not speak, just lay back down in the bed, and closed her eyes.

Kaidan, still sitting upright, he looked down at her, puzzled by what had just happened,

Had it just been a nightmare, as she was completely unaware. He thought to himself.

He had never known Shepard to have such terrible nightmares before, never had he seen her react like that before.
