Haestrom was hot, and Shepard was cranky, Kaidan mused, as she darted from shady spot to shady spot, trying to stay out of the burning sun. Her creamy skin was already turning pink, and they'd only touched down 30 minutes ago. Her hot gaze landed on him, and the corner of her lips turned up in a smile. "Chère, try to stay out of the sun, you're burning already," he murmured, cupping her cheek and brushing a thumb over the irritated flesh.
"I'm fine," she groused, and pushed his hand away. "I think my enviro controls are malfunctioning. I'm hot as hell."
He chuckled, and scanned her suit with his omni-tool, "Stop bragging," he murmured into her private comm. "Your suit is functioning properly, ma chérie. It's just hot on this planet."
She frowned at him and stepped closer to him, "Are you sure?"
His other hand came up around her waist, holding her close as she studied his 'tool. "Chère, you don't even know what you are looking at," he teased gently, reminding her of her lack of technical skills.
She grunted and pulled her shotgun from the clip at the small of her back. "Let's get to work so we can get back to the ship."
Kaidan and Garrus followed behind her, and Kaidan was almost giddy when he was able to steal a few minutes to study a dead geth while Shepard set some demolition charges so they could advance. His fingers itched to take some geth tech back to the ship with him, but the heated looks Shepard kept giving him, along with her general surliness had him leaving things where he found them in an effort to hurry things along.
Kaidan listened with half an ear as Shepard talked to the sole living quarian they'd found, but focused on providing covering fire for the squad. He heard Garrus groan next him as a geth Colossus finished repairing itself and stood, and he grinned as Shepard tapped him on the shoulder.
"Kaidan, you're with me. Garrus, stay here to provide covering fire and to keep Reegar from doing something stupid," Shepard barked, and pumped her shotgun to put down an approaching shock trooper. She rolled into cover, and waited until Kaidan appeared at her side before moving up again. They continued on, leapfrogging each other until they were entrenched in the sniper nest on the right side of the field. Shepard was panting, her shields had malfunctioned, and the effort to hold a barrier in place was costing her.
She heard Garrus over the comm. "Scoped and dropped!" as a geth trooper's flashlight head exploded behind them. All the remained was the Colossus.
She poked her head over wall, and grunted when Kaidan shoved her back into cover as a missile whistled by their heads. " Laisse moi prendre soins de cette affaire, chère," he murmured, his omni-tool flaring to life as his fingers flew, looking for a chink in its shields.
She heard its shields short out, felt the static stand her hair on end. "Now, Shepard!" he shouted, even as she pulled out her Cain, firing at the geth armature. It collapsed in a heap, and they grinned at each other as Garrus jogged over.
They found Tali locked in the observatory, and she quickly agreed to join Shepard's crew after learning the Reegar was alive and mostly well.
The quarian made a noise of appreciation as they exited the small space, "Shepard, I know you didn't take that put that thing down on your own, and Garrus didn't take the shields down," Tali observed, tilting her head to get a better look at the handsome human standing inappropriately close to the Commander. "I don't believe we've met," Tali said, extending a hand to Kaidan.
"A pleasure," Kaidan purred, his eyes never leaving Shepard's armor covered ass. He mentally shook himself when Shepard stomped on his instep at his seductive tone. "It's nice to meet someone else that appreciates technology for what it is."
Tali nodded excitedly, "How did you manage to short out the shields so easily?"
"I wouldn't say it was that easy, but..." Shepard tuned them out, trying not to shoot dirty looks at Tali as she engaged Kaidan in conversation, trying not to feel inadequate as his face brightened as he talked shop with the young quarian as they took the shuttle back to the Normandy.
She scowled however, when she heard the flirty tone in Tali's voice as she hung around while they stowed their gear. She looked at Garrus, who seemed amused at Tali's misguided flirtations.
Kaidan smiled at the young girl, ready to let her down gently when Shepard pounced on him, her hand buried firmly in the back pocket of his jeans and her lips fused to his in a searing kiss. He heard the noise of embarrassment Tali made as she moved away from them. He heard the low rumble of Garrus' voice as he no doubt explained the lay of the land.
His hands went to her ass as she jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist. He staggered towards the elevator, chuckling at her impatience. "Ne t'inquiète pas, chère, tu es la seule femme pour moi," he murmured in reassurance before the doors slid shut.
Tali sighed as Garrus shook his head, "He speaks a different language to her? Who is he? Where is he from?" she asked pumping the turian for information.
Kaidan groaned as his lips closed over her salty skin, and her spicy scent assaulted his nose. She chuckled and her hands tore at his shirt in her hurry to claim him. He staggered out of the elevator and into her cabin setting her down on her much abused desk. "This desk is going to have a permanent ass print on it as often as we fuck here," she muttered softly as he swiftly undressed her.
"Je suis pas entraint de te baiser," he murmured against her pebbled nipple as his tongue swirled around her sensitive skin. "Mais je veux te goûter avant," his breath was hot against her skin as he nudged her to lean back on her elbows. His lips skimmed down her belly and with a sigh, her thighs parted to allow him access to her luscious heat.
Her breath hissed between her lips as his tongue stroked her soft folds, and her thighs quivered against his cheek. His hands wrapped firmly around her muscular legs, and pulled her so her ass was sitting on the bare edge of the desk, and with a moan, she pressed her feet into his back. Her head fell back against the glass of her model ship display as his teeth gently nipped at her sensitive flesh, and his tongue swirled against her hot center, making her pant in anticipation.
With a mighty groan, she shoved off the desk and pushed him to the floor, "Take your time later, I want you now," she breathed as she impatiently tugged at his pants. His hands went to her hips as she took him into her molten depths with a soft cry. She rode him, her pace quick and unrelenting. Her hands wrapped around his arms, gripping him with enough force to leave bruises. Her breath quickened as her orgasm built within her, ripping through her with a strangled shout.
He rolled her so she was beneath him, and he pumped into her tight center, feeling her slick walls convulsing around him. He groaned as another orgasm slammed through her, her hot muscles pulsing around him. "Chère," he groaned as he found his own release, and with a shout, he emptied himself into her.
They lay slumped together, panting and sweaty in the aftermath of their loving, and she smiled tiredly at him as he grunted and hauled her up in his arms to stagger to the bed. Without warning, he dumped her on the soft surface and fell facedown to lay across her, his arm curved around her waist. She ruffled her fingers through his hair with a soft smile, "You ever wonder what would have happened if you hadn't left home when you did?" she asked softly.
He sucked in a deep breath, "Je ne sais pas. I suppose I would have joined the Alliance eventually. It used to be a kind of dream of mine when I was a kid." He smiled and nuzzled his face into her breast.
"You're pulling my leg," she giggled, "Did you really want to join the Alliance?"
He chuckled and pressed a kiss to the side of her breast, "Oui, before Brain Camp, I thought that's what I would do with my life." He shrugged and grinned up at her, "J'aurais été un officier incroyable."
She shivered and her back arched as his hand drifted down her torso, "Oh really, and how far do you think you would have made it before you got drummed out of the service."
"Chère, you wound me. I would have been a career soldier. Je te surclasserais pour sûr," he smiled as she rolled them so she was straddling his waist. She snorted as she pressed a line of kisses from his ear along his chiseled jaw. "I would probably be a major by now," he said silkily, his hands drifting over her smooth skin, cupping her soft breasts, "Même si c'est juste pour te commander."
"Major Alenko, huh?" she chuckled, "I like it. It has a ring to it," a sultry smile spread over her lips as she felt him stiffen beneath her. "I'm not finished with you yet, Major," her husky voice flittered over him like a caress.
He laughed softly, and pushed her to the bed beside him. "Bien, je n'ai pas fini avec toi non plus," he grunted as he pulled her to her knees before him.
She sighed as she felt his smooth tip pressing against her slick entrance from behind, and her breath caught in her throat as he sent a punishing tempo, slamming into her with each thrust of his hips. His hands gripped her waist, and the other snuck around to flick her sensitive nub with his thumb. The unexpected contact was enough to send her spiraling over the edge, screaming his name.
His breathing was haggard as he pumped into her, pushing her forward with each inward thrust until she fell forward on the pillows. His lips sought the sensitive spot on the back of her neck, and his teeth clamped down hard as another muffled scream tore from her lips. He heard her mewling cries as another orgasm tore through her, and with a shout he slumped against her as his own climax pumped through him.
He rolled to his side and grinned as she snuggled into his side with a sleepy snuffle. "You know I'm just marrying you for the sex, right?" her drowsy voice drifted to his ears.
"Tu peux utiliser mon corps autant que tu veux, je suis complètement correcte avec ça," he replied easily, and his arm tightened around her.
She shoved lightly at his chest. "As long as we know where we stand, Major," she laughed.
He grimaced at her new nickname for him, "Combien de temps cela va me hanter?" he asked, torn between amusement and embarrassment.
"How long are you going to call me chère?" she quipped, her blue eyes twinkling up at him, a sassy smile on her pink lips.
"Toujours," he grinned at her.
She chuckled, "Well, there you go then." A thoughtful smile crossed her lips, "I bet you don't even know my first name, do you?"
"Mais oui, je le connais, Marguerite," he replied using the French version of her name, and grinned at the confused look on her face. "But the few people close to you probably call you Maggie, right?"
Her brow crinkled, "How did you…?"
He grinned, "J'ai réussi a entré dans ton dossier." She stared daggers at him as he continued on, "Commander Margaret Shepard, Hero of Elysium, Savior of the Citadel, and a dead woman. Oui, I hacked your file as soon as Cerberus contacted me."
She scowled, "You know, I really think I should care more that you did that, but I don't really."
"C'est à cause qu tu m'aime."
She chuckled, "Yeah, I suppose I do."
