After returning from the Citadel, the young couple fell into the normal daily routine, the drama having been all but forgotten. Construction of the brewery almost complete, with the crews having worked around the clock since January.
Aria had arrived earlier in the morning to inspect the results of her investment. Through their combined efforts, both Will and Shea exhaustively poured over every detail and every potential scenario to allow them to push brewing abilities to the limit. More importantly, with the proper equipment in place, the now have the ability to consistently recreate it, which is the true test of any successful brewer. Not merely created a great beer, but remaining consistent batch after batch.
The forty barrel, six vessel system includes of four silos stationed along the outer corridor of the brewery each, holding 24,000 pounds of base malt. Other storage silos containing hops and other primary ingredients necessary for the three ales planned for production can also be found throughout the facility. The malt mill is able to process 8,800 lbs of malt per hour, feeding feeds the malt via auger to the grist case suspended above the mash mixers. Each mixer equipped with steam jackets designed to heat 620 gallons of mash from 120 to 172 degrees Fahrenheit in 30 minutes and contains a top mounted VFD controlled agitator along with temperature control.
An advanced water filtration system was installed to treat and filter the crystal clear spring water from the creek running along the southern edge of the property. This pristine water source along with the correct equipment and Shea's recipes were what were.
On the second floor, or mezzanine level, as Shea dubbed it, were several offices as well as access point for the catwalk that overlooks the brewery equipment. Also included with the onsite construction was quality control laboratory located on the mezzanine level where two full time chemists will perform rigorous process and quality assurance analysis to ensure the consistency and safety of each the batch. on the north end of the property a warehouse was erected to store the finished product after bottling and before shipment.
"Do I even want to know how much this is costing me?" Aria asked as Shea offered her a guided tour of the soon to be finished property.
"We actually came in under-budget it you would believe it. We didn't spend the full fifteen I originally estimated. In the end only 10,000,000 creds." Shea smiled as she handed Aria a data pad with the final construction costs. This earned wide grin from the Pirate Queen. Money well invested, it was too early to tell, but at least Shea didn't waste anything.
"That's why you brought me on board I take it Shea?" Will replied, standing between the two.
"I know beer, but you know construction. Can you wrap up here?"
"Yea, you go ahead. I'll see you tomorrow." Will said, leaving to supervise the last minute details. Aria had arrived early the previous day.
"I must say I am impressed Shea. Well done." Aria nodded, the pair exiting the brewery, heading back to the main house.
"Thanks. Well, will see how well production can keep up with demand. I've already secured orders from four resorts on Nevos, as well as a few restaurants and hotels on Noveria. Looks like we may have a lock on this part of the Terminus anyway."
"Any luck with the Citadel yet. I know you wanted to get a foothold there as well."
"Yea, after my little incident with Tevos, I'm kind of avoiding the Citadel. For now at least. Thanks for coming by the way. I know things must be hectic on Omega lately."
"No different than any other day. At least I have subordinates who are capable of running things while I'm 'indisposed'. Although, our next visits will need to be on Omega. I don't want any of the merc groups thinking I've gone soft because I'm on vacation."
"Can't have that can we. Well, I don't know how soon we'll be able to take the girls there. Lenea's still hesitant of having them on the rock at all."
"Omega's not exactly the place for children Shea. I would suggest that you come alone on those meetings."
"In time. Come on, let's get you back to the house, I still need to finish prepping for tonight."
"You know, for someone with a fully staffed household, you do alot of manual labor yourself. Why?"
Running a finger along her bicep "For my girlish figure." She laughed "But no, seriously, I enjoy their company. And it is nice to have help with watching the girls and security, but I don't expect anyone to 'serve me'. I'm used to house work. In fact, I enjoy it sometimes. I tend to zone out when doing it, just focusing on the task at hand. Helps me concentrate on difficult decisions. Like the ones I have to make now."
"Which are?"
"What courses to take. Seriously Aria, when I was on Earth, my mouth was all I needed to make money. But when I met with the admissions lady yesterday, its like I have to start college all over again. Thank god I don't have to take any xenobiology classes, although..."Shea smiled, pulling up her omnitool to show Aria her class schedule for the fall semester "I am taking an Asari anatomy class."
" I told the dean you needed to be put on a political science/intergalactic business track. What the hell do you need Asari anatomy. " Aria smirked. "Oh this is rich. Really Shea? Siari Philosophy. Intergalactic Cultural Exploration in the New Age. Thessian Sexuality: The Modern Consort. Just how exactly do these course help your major?.
"Well, I do have to pick electives. I figured I should probably expand my horizons a little bit. Get some culture. Maybe, learn a few things."
Shaking her head, Aria smiled at the human "Yea well, just don't flirt with anyone in class. Goddess, what will we do with you."
"Love me forever?" She replied, to which Aria just smiled.
"So when do you start class?"
"First week in September. I'm on a fast track schedule, the lady in registration said I should have my degree in three years instead of six."
"Sure your not doing too much?" Aria queried, raising an eyebrow.
"I got my bachelors early while working full time, I don't see how this is any different. Plus I have a lot of tutors." Shea smiled, referencing her staff, many of whom had already completed their studies well before the human was even born.
"Just don't overdo it. We're in no rush, you can take fewer classes." Aria said.
"I won't" Replied the human as they entered the main house. Leaning into her Asari, who greeted the young woman with Mina in her arms "Hey babe." Shea leaned into Lenea, planting a chaste kiss on her lips before kissing her daughter on the cheek as she took the young Asari into her arms, "Here's Daddy's baby girl. You still being grumpy gus?"
"A grumpy what?" Aria raised a brow a the human's comment.
"Just a phrase Aria. The girls have been teething. Dana's taking it like a champ, but Mina. Well she's been a bit testy the past few days. Cause it hurts huh munchkin." Shea made a silly face at the baby, causing her to giggle. "We've started solid food this week. Isn't that right Mina."
"Goddess yes. Why did you not tell me nursing would be so painful?" Lenea shot Aria a look of irritation.
"You enjoy it when she bites." Aria pointed to the muscular blonde, who blushed in response.
" Aria, you are impossible. That is entirely different circumstance."
"It's not my fault your kinky."
"Hey, that's grown folks business Aria. Little ears." Shea looked at her sister-in-law in a way that was both annoyed and amused at the same time.
"Goddess Shea, when did you turn into such a fucking prude."
"Aria! Language." The couple said in unison.
Aria merely shrugged, picking up Dana. The younger Asari wrapped her arms tightly around her aunt's neck. "Come on Dana, these two are boorring." She continued to whisper as they left the room.
"Your sister's a piece of work." Shea smiled, shaking her head "Give 'em their bath yet?"
"No. I was planning on doing so after they had eaten." Lenea answered, wrapping an arm around Shea as the woman held their child.
Eyes sparkling in a bright smile "So get Daddy for bath time huh kiddo. You know what that means." Shea kissed and tickled the child's belly, causing infectious laughter.
"That you will make a mess of the bathroom?" Lenea smirked.
"No...It means bubble bath in the big tub and rubber duckie!"
"Only you would make a suggestion in which you were surrounding by suds and a rubber toy." Lenea cooed, running a hand slowly along Shea's spine, causing the human to shiver.
"Hey, no fare. I'm talking about innocent bath toys here."
"Mmm hmmm." Lenea hummed seductively, teasing the woman's ear with her tongue. "Go ahead and finish her bath and I will see you in our bathroom afterward for our own 'playtime.'"
Swallowing hard, eyes wide, the human nodded before heading to the bathroom to bath her daughter.
The woman gently bathed daughter, sans bubble bath. "Guess no bubble bath today Mina. Sorry. Maybe next time." She spoke low, soft tone that often worked to put the young one at ease whenever she woke in a state of unease. "Mommy is being naughty, and she distracted Daddy."
Smiling at the father and daughter, Aria stood in the hallway of the bathroom, holding Dana "Mommy's naughty huh? Shouldn't you do something about that?"
"I can't cut my time with Mina just cause Lenea's all hot and bothered. It's not fair to her."
"I'll take the girls Shea. Lenea has a surprise for you" Aria chuckled at the human's not so subtle flush and dilated pupils. "Go on, I've got them. Enjoy your birthday present."
"What birthday present?" Shea asked, left eyebrow cocked in confusion.
"You'll see. Now go." Aria all but shoved the woman out of the bathroom with her biotics, having sat Dana down in the tub with her sister, not wishing to disturb the children with their father's distraction. "And you better not come out till the party tonight."
Entering the master bedroom, heart pounding with anticipation, Shea was treated to the most beautiful site. There stood Lenea, wearing new white lace lingerie ensemble Shea had not seen her in before. The white lace bustier, garter and elbow length fingerless lace gloves contrasted sensuously with Lenea's blue skin, causing all reasoning to leave the human's, unable to utter a single word. Primal lust took over the woman at the breathtaking vision before her. She shed her clothing, releasing a deep growl, lunging forward. But before she could claim her prize, Lenea flared her biotics, swiftly pinning the human to the bed.
"Ah, ah, ah. It may be your birthday. However, we will do things my way." Lenea said in a sultry tone, swayed her hips as she moved toward the head of the bed to secure the humans hands to the headboard with lace scarves they used on occasion.
Shea grinned wickedly, "Yes ma'am." Though Shea was un unselfish lover, always trying to push Lenea to new heights as she pleasured her, the woman also enjoyed being 'tossed around'. To be dominated by otherwise demure Asari was a definite turn on in the role reversal for the human.
"You might wish to thank Aria for this later." Lenea cooed as she picked up the newly purchased addition to their toy collection. Aria was aware that the couple wished for additional children, that this time however, Shea would be the one to become pregnant. So, with the assistance of Dr T'Lanin, Aria had a unit custom designed to allow Lenea to personally deliver the 'sample' in the most intimate fashion possible for the couple. "You are not opposed to how do you say, 'get knocked up'?" Shea could only shake her head, as the throbbing in her core made it difficult for her to form a coherent word in response.
"Good." Lenea slid the base of the toy into her own wetness before climbing slowly onto the bed. Finger on her lip, pondering her situation, Lenea untied the human, but quickly bound her again with biotics "Turn around and get on your knees."
Shea complied as best she was able with her wrists being biotically bound. With her firm backside exposed, Shea was at the mercy of the Asari. Firmly smacking the taut flesh, red marks visible on tan skin, Lenea could feel the heat and smell the desire dripping from the woman. Sliding her hand slowly along the woman's inner thigh, teasing her wetness, the Asari grinned at the silkiness.
"So wet." Lenea whispered as she rubbed the outer folds.
"For you. Only for you." Shea said breathlessly into the pillows, breath hitching and body shivering with anticipation of pleasure to come at the Asari's every movement. Lenea positioned herself behind the woman, grasping the firm flesh beneath her as she teased the edge of Shea's core with the tip of her extension.
"Fucuuuuuuuck..." Shea groaned at the contact, arousal intensified by her current position.
"That is exactly what I plan on doing to you." Lenea said as she eased the head past the tight ring of muscle, only to pull back.
"Lenea..."Shea moaned, pleading "Please"
"Please what?" She replied, hand rest on the small of the human's, gently massaging the warm skin.
"Fuck me Lenea. Please fuck me raw. Make me yours."
Lenea needed no further encouragement as she thrust forward, enveloping herself in tight wetness.
"Goddess." Lenea hissed as the human's inner muscles pulled at her, not wanted to let go. She hadn't even initiated the meld yet, and she already felt herself losing control. Determined to please her bondmate, Lenea delayed the meld as she built a slow rhythm, pushing deeper with each thrust. Each movement brought the human closer to the edge, only to be pulled back brought back as the pace slowed, to be met by a whimper.
Reaching her gloved hand down, Lenea found the hardened bud, rolling her fingers in slow circles. She could feel walls clench, constricting around her as she eased forward once again. This time she was unable to hold back from the meld, joining their minds, their souls, becoming as the human cried out in ecstasy.
Hours later, as the couple lay spent, bodies both weak as aftershocks continued, a smile crept across Shea's face. She looked down at her bondmate, as exhausted as the human, in awe.
"Did it work?" Lenea asked, drawing circles on the human's abdomen.
"I really don't know. Human's are a little different than Asari babe. I won't be able to tell for at least a few weeks. Dr. T will need to do a test. And, we may very well have to try again, not that I'm complaining of course. That was amazing. Where did you get that new model."
"That is you birthday present from Aria. She said that your pregnancy needed to be as organic as mine was, and well this was the closest we could come to it without getting an actual human male to impregnate you."
"Remind me to thank her."
"Oh, I think you already have Shea. In fact, I think the whole house heard you. You left the window open."
"Shit."
Meanwhile, in the staff quarters. "Are they always like that?" Makeda asked will, who had taken up residence with the rest of the staff while working on the brewery.
"Yep, Shea's always been a loud one."
"Goddess. I think I need a drink after that."
"You and me both, you and me both. Hey it's your move" Will gestured to the chess pieces left ignored by the young Asari.
"How can you possibly concentrate on chess after hearing that?"
"Easy, think of the delivery driver who was here yesterday. That's douse any fire."
Thinking about the very rude and unkempt Batarian who delivered kegs to the brewery the day before was certain to quell the sexual desires stirred by sounds echoing through the open windows of the master suite.
"Your right. Do you think they know everyone can hear them."
"Honestly, I don't think Shea cares either way."
AN: I'm sure Shea is not the only one that's ever happened to...We all have forgotten the window is open at some point. LOL. Anyway. Let's hope Shea got knocked up this time, not that either her or Lenea will complain if they have to keep at it. Getting there is half the fun.
AN 2: Finally my vacation is back, so I plan on doing some writing today and tomorrow. I woke up with migraine (12/7), so nothing this morning, But I hope to have updates before tomorrow (Saturday) night.
