Hello Everyone. It's is my true pleasure to announce that you will all be getting a special gift. One born of me being slightly drunk at the time the deal was struck with a good Author friend of mine, DFM23. We've come to an agreement. I write something for him, and he writes something for me. Hope y'all enjoy! I sure as hell enjoyed reading what he wrote.


POV: Aedon Wynne

Leaving Dekunna and the shit show that happened there I could literally feel my blood pressure decrease. Even Ilok and Samuel let out happy sighs as we left the planets atmosphere and were headed straight to Omega. There were a couple of things that needed doing there.

Hitting the Relay after a couple hours of flying we shot straight to Omega's system and parked the ship in the designated hanger that my group had gotten for us. Arriving I was met with a little bit of fan fare as everyone was happy on some level to see me back. Including the shop keepers who asked if there were any valuables that I'd be willing to part with. Unfortunately there wasn't and they were a little sullen there but they understood.

Passing the shopping district we had set up near the port for obvious reasons the next was the school that was set up for kids. It was perfect timing too as once I arrived the other parents were already there and waiting for their kids to come on out. Joining them in waiting most sent silent nods in greeting but there were a few who came up to me and made small talk. All of those parents were ones that were either directly under me or married to someone who was. All of which I had at least passing knowledge on all of them to make casual talk not awkward.

Though once the kids starting coming out they all backed off and patiently waited for their kids to come out. Waiting through the youngest of the children first it was always a heartwarming sight to see them run to their parents with wide and gleeful smiles. Just seeing them and their pure happiness let me know that even with my mistakes and the acts that I have performed it was all worth it. Children were the future and I'll be damned if they are ever harmed on my watch again.

With that thought another bout of children came out and ran to their parents. When they were done another bout came out and at the back of the group Iris walked out scanning the group of parents in front of her with a hopeful look. It became instantly obvious she was looking for me and I felt ashamed that I couldn't give her more of my time. When this war is over she'll get as much of it as possible.

When her eyes did finally land on me though they widened in surprise for a moment before her face broke into a gigantic grin. Then she was sprinting at me and I got to one knee holding my arms out to the side inviting her into me. When she got close enough she jumped into my arms hugging me tightly and I returned the gesture and stood up still hugging her around before twirling in a circle eliciting a happy laugh from her.

Bringing her back to the ground we separated and I held out my hand to her. She gleefully took it and we walked to our apartment talking the whole way there. Catching up as much as possible on everything that we didn't talk about on the calls. Which turned out to be mostly about school as it was something that we never really talked about. Speaking of which I got an interesting email from one of the teachers as we walked to the apartment. Iris wasn't paying attention in class and there were times when she wouldn't even show up. One quick email to Kelli and Vrule had ruled out that they were training her too hard.

I stayed silent on that front until we reached our apartment and I began to make us some dinner. It took me about 20ish minutes to finish whipping up the pasta and put it on the plates fo[rus, Tomato sauce on mine and Alfredo on hers. However, before she could begin to eat I coughed getting her attention and she looked at me for a second with confusion evident on her face.

"Why aren't you paying attention and skipping some classes," she didn't react at all, her face betrayed nothing and that's exactly how I knew the teacher wasn't lying to me. Any kid would react with either an immediate lie or be mad that they were being accused of something they didn't do. They wouldn't go stonefaced and when it became obvious she wouldn't fool me she pouted before mumbling something.

"Speak up Iris," my voice wasn't cold or demanding, it was that sort of condescending tone only parents could pull off. Which made me feel a little weird for a moment, was I going to make a dad joke soon?

"They're boring and I know everything already. It's all simple," raising an eyebrow at my daughter I looked at her for a few moments and she didn't seem to be lying as far as I could tell. Activating my omni-tool I sent a message to Kelli asking for Iris' grades. She must've had it que'd up as she sent it immediately… whatever I'm paying her she deserves more.

"Are they not challenging?" she simply shook her head. "I'll send some emails to your teachers, see if you can some tests to move up. You're not getting out of history though," she groaned at that.

"It's so boring though and I already read the whole book," she complained using her best puppy dog eyes on me and I will admit, they almost made me break.

"Do you know why history is important for you to learn fully Iris?" she shook her head and gave me skeptical look. Before I answered I gestured to the food and she smiled and began to eat.

"So that we don't remake the mistakes of the past. History has a way of always repeating itself and if we keep making the same mistakes the same tragedies will continue to happen over and over. We cannot allow that to happen," Iris was silent as she listened to my words and even stopped eating for a moment before nodding her head agreeing with me. Taking that as that everything was taken care of I began to eat as well.

Finishing up dinner about 15 minutes later I took the dishes and cleaned them before walking her through some katas. Upon finishing them almost an hour later I had her disassemble and clean all of her weapons before we sat down and played chess for a bit. She couldn't keep up with me there but it astounding how quickly she was able to analyze everything and adjust. There was no way she wouldn't be a force of nature at chess in only a few years if she wanted to do so.

After that I sent her off to bed and sent an email to the principle of the school with my request. The human in charge sent back an affirmative email after only a couple minutes. Iris would be getting tested with the next few days. With that done I emailed Nyreen and told her that I would be at the morning meeting tomorrow. After sending that email I went to bed.

Waking up early the next morning and going through my usual workout routine at the gym I got back to the apartment in time to make breakfast before Iris went off to school. Though she surprised me when she was already awake and going through her own little workout routine. Smiling at seeing that I made breakfast and we had a nice quiet breakfast before she kissed my cheek and left to school.

Showering and getting dressed after cleaning up I made my way to where the morning meeting was to be held. Arriving there Nyreen and Kelli were already there, both greeted me amicably. Mordin's apprentice showed up a couple minutes after me along two other people I knew of but didn't know why they were here. A human woman and a male Turian.

Carol Station, 36, was an ex accountant who became a druggy after she got dependent on painkillers after a surgery. She eventually found her way to Omega and into one of our clean up camps. Turned her life around and got sober, one of the first ones to get sober actually. She was a quiet black woman barely over 5 feet tall with brown eyes, curly jet black hair and an athletes figure.

Velius Canlianus was an imposing Turian who held over 30 years of experience in the Turian military. Honorably discharged he left Palavan and went straight to Omega. The man was divorced twice and had very little contact with his children; from what I had learned his devotion to the Military had strained his relationships with them. Though he made sure to call them and talk when he could. Tall for even a Turian his skin was a deep grey and his face marking pure white lines that went straight down from his eyes off of his face.

When they showed up Nyreen explained why they were here. Carol was in charge of all the money that we were generating from our businesses. It had apparently reached a point, even though we barely charged anyone who lived in our controlled areas, that it needed a full time accountant. As for Velius he was the current man in charge of our soldiers training which made him perfect for what I was here for.

Once they arrived the meeting started in earnest and I let Nyreen take complete control. She was, afterall, the one that had been here the whole time and had been looking after it while both Garrus and myself have been away. Either way she made sure the meeting was quick and clean and was generally just an update for everyone in the room on the comings and goings of everything.

Towards the end she looked at me and asked if there was anything I wished to talk about. Nodding my head and looking to Velius I asked him what he would think about introducing parkour to the training regiment. While it wouldn't be all the useful on certain missions it could be a boon on any that involved a city. Plus, being actively mobile in a city would allow our people to traverse most areas with little difficulty. Allowing them to escape from husks and other Reaper soldiers plus anyone chasing one of ours.

He contemplated the idea for a few moments before nodding his head and agreeing that it would be a good idea. After that the meeting was adjourned and we all went our separate ways except for Nyreen and myself. We talked for a little bit and caught up, plus she complained about Garrus not being here. She just wanted him to lighten her work loud and I couldn't exactly blame her.


The next couple days I found myself back into the routine that I had established when I had been here. With a few added interactions between all the new people that we housed and a few of the restaurants. Iris had a particular taste for fish and it happened to be from the most expensive restaurant we had which made sense. Fish, fresh fish, on Omega was hard to come by but the restaurant was really good.

When the fifth day rolled around on Omega I made my goodbyes to everyone and a tearful hug from Iris. Leaving I made my way to the Citadel and upon landing went straight to Frank's. He was a bit surprised to see me but accepted my presence without question and told me my room was still open.

Staying there I started adding parkour to my morning workout regiment around the Citadel. It was a good thing to do but I wasn't expecting for it to be as taxing as it was. Sighing at that revelation I made sure to get a weighted vest to help with the stamina for it. Never know when it'll save my life.

Either way the next two days were spent in relative peace at Franks and the surrounding area. On the morning of the 7th day after leaving Dekunna I sent a message to Tevos asking for her to call a meeting of the Councillors. She responded about an hour after the message was sent simply telling me to be in the usual room at 1100.

So at 1000 I left Franks and made my way to the Presidium. A few of the cops gave me respectful nods upon seeing me in full armor. Though on my way I ran into Cam, the Turian that had helped me during the attack on the Citadel almost three years ago. We talked for a good bit and I found out he was part of SWAT now and was engaged to another Turian on the force. Good man.

After leaving Cam I was at the meeting room within a couple minutes of 1100. Entering the room I was greeted with all of the Councillors already there with their assistants. All had curious looks on their faces as I entered no doubt wondering what this meeting was for. The only two in the room that seemed to have a clue were Udina and Anderson who were giving me a hard stare.

"So, why did you ask for us?" Sparatus asked as everyone took their seats.

"For strategy with the Reapers. To help prevent helping them," everyone except for Sparatus, Udina and Anderson gave a curious look at the wording. Though Tevos gave me a silent wave of her hand asking me to continue.

"Scorched Earth policies, especially in colonies on the edge of controlled space. You know the Reapers pervert our dead to make more soldiers, we have to be able to prevent that," there was silence in the room for a long moment before the Asari assistant spoke up.

"You're asking us to be willingly sacrifice millions of people if the need should arrive?" her voice was soft but her tone was absolutely accusing.

"Yes. Every dead that we leave behind can be changed into a soldier for the Reapers. We need a way to prevent that, no matter how horrible it is if we can eliminate more possible soldiers for the Reapers we'll have that much better of a chance at minimizing the amount of dead we end up with."

"How would you go about this?" Valern asked, the intensity of his eyes telling me that he agreed with me but didn't like that he was agreeing.

"Nukes. The resulting radiation will elimate the viability of bodies that weren't vaporized from being turned against us. Plus if a Reaper is close enough to the blast it probably won't survive," again silence reigned in the room as everyone digested this. Nuclear weapons had been outlawed by the Council when they had seen they devastating affects they had on Tuchanka before the Krogan were uplifted for the Rachni War.

"Impo-" Tevos began only to be interrupted by Valern.

"All chips on the table as you humans would say the STG has several in working order and we have several scientists that could make more plus teams to plant them and watch over the colonies," everyone in the room, sans Anderson and Sparatus, were shocked at Valern's words. "We support this strategy."

"It will be a one way ticket for those teams," was my only response silently asking him if those teams had the nerve to do what would be asked of them.

"They are willing to win this war by all means necessary," at his words everyone in the room became resigned. They all knew that with the Salarians willing to do this there was no way the rest of the Council wouldn't agree. Especially when worded like that by Valern.

After a couple of minutes the Councillors and assistants talked amongst themselves for this plan. None of them liked it at all but all knew the necessity of it. Once they were all in agreement after another half an hour of talking I was dismissed.

Leaving the room I let out a sigh as the weight of what I had just done slammed into me. I had just willingly sentenced thousands if not millions of people to a death that they were undeserving of. Men, woman, and children who were all innocent but would turn into a statistic in order to preserve the life of others. Not to mention that those colonies would be unusable for a good bit of time. Which would no doubt put a strain on the agriculture and food departments.

What had just happened was as heinous an act as could happen even if it was needed. The amount of lives that could be saved by doing that could amount in the billions if not trillions. Still didn't take away from the unforgivableness of the act though. God forgive me.


Staying with Frank for another day we got roaring drunk together that night. We exchanged stories as well and most of them we had each already heard at some point or another but it still felt good. To just be distracted for a moment from what was about to happen and what I had already done. At least he understood the reason for it.

Waking up the next morning and having breakfast with the man I gave him my goodbye, along with Ceelo and Volio before leaving. At first Omega was my destination but after a few minutes of thinking my mind changed. My head still wasn't in the right place to be doing any administrative work; I needed to see Tali and calm down.

Hitting the Relay and making my through the system all the way to the Valhallan Threshold the Fleet was still there. Breathing a sigh of relief I contacted the Fleet and requested permission to land only to be immediately denied. Contacting them again I said the pass phrase first thing and again they denied my request to land. This time, however, it came with a warning shot that pinged off the side of my ship reducing the shields by a third.

Shocked at what just happened was the understatement of the century. Immediately contacting Tali she didn't answer and guessing that something was wrong I contacted Kal who answered immediately. After telling him what just happened he was shocked for a second before sprinting leaving the call on the whole time.

I got to see him sprint throughout the ship he was on, straight into what looked like a communications hub. As soon as he entered the room he ripped the comm out of its placement on the wall and cut the call. Sitting there in the emptiness of space completely vulnerable I gripped the controls of my ship ready to take evasive maneuvers if something went wrong. As the stress and paranoia continued to mount over the next few minutes I finally got a call back from Kal.

"It's sorted Aedon but I would suggest you get to the flagships main hanger immediately," Kal stated as it looked like he was running again. I immediately started piloting my ship in that direction.

"Can I ask why?" as the hanger bay opened in front of me as I made breakneck pace for it.

"Gerrel was the one who ordered you barred and to be shot at… Tali found out; we're trying our best to calm her down but it isn't exactly working," if my pace in the ship was breakneck before it was completely suicidal now.

Cutting the call from Kal I focused my entire body and mind onto the controls of my ship and the hanger in front of me. A few of the ships that were close to the opened hanger made themselves out of the way as they saw me approach. Reaching just about a kilometer away I hit the reverse thrusters at full power almost flinging myself from my seat. Even at full power it was literally just barely enough to not crash and burn in spectacular fashion.

That didn't mean the ship was fine though. Entering the hanger at that speed regardless of effects put a massive strain on the ship when it entered the hangars artificial gravity. I could literally feel the ship groan and shake in protest and the landing gear wasn't happy either when I decided to just plop the ship down without really landing.

Jumping out of my seat I opened the entrance door and jumped out before it was fully down and began sprinting. Running through the halls the Quarians in the way quickly moved to the side to let me through. Some, the ones who were obviously soldiers, began pointing in directions helping me navigate to where I needed to go.

Rounding one final corner after being directions again I saw Tali walk through a door that had Gerrel's name emboldened on it. However, as soon as she shut it the door locked and I just knew that she hacked it closed. Sliding up to the door I opened my omni-tool and began hacking into the door. A squad of Quarian Marines led by Kal around me

It took me all of a moment to realize that Tali had gotten monumentally better at hacking but it wouldn't matter here. Not for the fact that I was that much better than her, but because just from seeing the code I knew that was impossible. It only didn't matter because the code was most definitely based on one of Ceelo's own codes and he's spent years randomly hacking me for fun. Only Ceelo and myself could break this code in any time under an hour.

It took me 10 minutes to crack the code and during that entire time I could hear shouting from the other side of the door for most of those ten minutes. After about the eighth minute someone threw a punch and then they were brawling. From the sounds that were happening that was the only possible thing that they could be doing.

As the door opened and I entered the room I got to see Tali towering over Gerrel. One hand holding his by one of the straps on his chest and the other raised to deliver a punch. His mask discarded in the corner of the room and cracked. Tali looked a little better but her suit was noticeably damaged, no breeches though, and her mask was cracked as well. When the door swung open her head whipped around to look at me.

Once she saw me she dropped Gerrel to the floor and stalked over to me pulling me into a hug. I returned the hug and rubbed her back in a soothing motion. After a couple of seconds she pulled away and looked back down at Gerrel, her body radiating complete indifference. For a couple seconds she said nothing and simply looked down at the man.

"Admiral Gerrel, you will face a formal inquiry for your actions and until the investigation is over will be stripped of all powers given to an Admiral," she then turned back to me and Kal specifically behind me. "Take Admiral Gerrel to the brig."

"Official Charges Ma'am?" Kal asked as he motioned for two of his Marines to grab Gerrel off the floor.

"Assault on an Admiral and the ordering of an attack on my husband," Kal just nodded his head and followed the Marines out of the room leaving just Tali and myself.

Turning to me she held out her hand and I took it. She then began the walk back to the hanger. Upon getting there she gestured for us to get on my ship and I did so without question. She took the controls in silence and flew the ship over to another ship. One that was obviously not based for combat and more geared towards research. Her personal Admirals ship then I assumed.

Landing in its hanger she led me out of the ship and made a beeline for her room on the ship. Arriving there she gently guided me towards the bed pushing me onto it so I sat on the edge. She was silent for a few moments before taking off her cracked mask and giving me a blinding smile.

As soon as I saw her smile everything else just faded away. The Scorched Earth tactics I had suggested, being shot by a Quarian admiral with a grudge and the impending Reaper War. All of it just disappeared upon seeing her smile. It was like a gift from god and who was I to deny the gift.

"It's so good to see you," she spoke for the first time placing herself on my lap, straddling it. "I'm sorry that happened; they just don't like the fact I'm not with a Quarian."

"Seems a bit farther than dislike," I softly chuckled and she placed her forehead on the crook of my neck.

"I know… just… just focus on me now. Forget about them and everything else," she spoke softly raising her head up to look at me. "Just us. No Reapers, no admirals, nothing but us," and then she leaned in and kissed me biting my lip. After a moment I returned the kiss with fervor, my engine roaring. It had been far too long since I had been with her and all the stress of the last couple months just faded away at that kiss.

*Y'all finally got it*

I love the taste of her lips. Sweet. Delectable. Honey in its own right. I can never get enough of them. My hands cupped her face, holding her close as I kept my lips pressed tightly to hers. she parted hers slightly to moan and I took that as an invitation to slide my tongue past them. That little squeak of surprise sends a jolt right through me and I know where it'll end up.

I unlatch my lips from hers for only a moment, pulling her closer against me. That suit… it's getting in my way. "Get that suit off." I growled. She rolled her hips against me, teasingly so.

"Only if you do too." She whispered. I smirked, meeting her challenge by pulling on several obvious clasps around her waist. She matched my moves by fiddling with the straps around my waist. Realizing our mutual eagerness we begrudgingly broke apart to strip down, both of us moving quickly to ensure we'd be united again. My clothes and armor piled up on the floor and hers were quick to join them, swaths of pale flesh and soft violet skin being revealed.

It had been months, literal months, since I've seen that drop-dead gorgeous body. And I'm desperate for another look. Tali is still as gorgeous as I remember. A sculpted hourglass figure, sizeable hips, perfect handful-sized breasts, smooth toned arms and legs that go on for days. Just seeing her like that reminded me to save a holosnap of her naked, something to remember on those lonely nights.

The minute we were both in the nude I stood up and snatched her into my arms and kissed her passionately, muffled squeaks between our lips enough to tell me she hadn't seen it coming. I moved down, kissing along her jaw and down her neck, several each taste of her flesh. I buried my face between her breasts, taking my time kissing, licking and nibbling on her mounds. She gasped, laughing breathily as I pulled her close and refused to give her room.

"You're so grabby, Aedon." She teased.

"Forgive me, but it's been too damn long." I growled. I needed more of her body, but I wasn't about to be too hasty and drop to my knees right here on the floor. Lifting her off her feet I dropped her on her bed and she loosed a startled shriek of surprise.

"B-Boshtet!" She gasped, looking up at me from the bed.

"Tsk tsk, language Miss Zorah." I teasingly chided. "I'll have to punish you for that mouth of yours." I crawled partly up the bed, up her body, letting my lips explore some more. My lips brushed over her stomach, hands exploring where they didn't. Across her nipples, so cold that she shivered at the touch. That shiver turned into a full-fledged tremble as I licked a stripe across her violet nethers. She tasted magnificent, and the gasp from her was music to my ears. We've been apart months and I guarantee that a lifetime of sex won't even come close to making up for that lost time. I'm pretty sure she won't mind.

"Fu-… Aedon," she moaned, legs holding onto my shoulders for dear life. "Yes, yes- Just like that," she whimpered, one hand holding my hair, the other behind her head to hold the bed frame. "Oh-Unhh-" she trailed off into a moan, grinding her hips against my face.

I really could spend every waking hour down here, lapping at all the slick her body released, burying my tongue deep inside of her, working at her clit with my thumb. My own personal form of private worship, the only way to treat her. My Tali. She loved it, every single second. There was nothing so good.

"A-Aedon- I'm gonna- s-slow down," she cried, not ready to cum yet.

The way I see it, there's plenty of time for another round. Or two. Maybe a little demanding, but I absolutely cannot get enough of her. I know Tali hates overstimulation. I know she does. But my own greed keeps me going. "Don't hold back, Tali, baby. Lemme make you feel good."

She melted. "I hate you," she whimpered. I chuckled, the vibration of it making her squirm. "Fuck," she cried, legs tightening. God I love the pressure so much. Only a moment longer of me sucking on her clit was enough to push her over the edge. Those moans were obscene but I fucking love them. "K-Keelah! Fuck!" she yelled, her grip on the bed tightening just like her grip on my hair. I'm not about to stop, by now I'm dedicated to driving her into overstimulation. Sliding two fingers into her slick wet heat, pumping in and out of her slit. It was an easy stretch with how much her body relaxed.

"A-Aedon, please!" I hummed in response. I know the feeling will reverberate, make her feel good like she deserves. For one final touch, I hooked my arms around her thighs, immobilizing her attempts to escape me. I know. I'm greedy. "Fuck me- Fuck! Fuck!" she squealed, kicking at my shoulders and trying her hardest to pull away with her hands. Not this time, baby.

Tears welled in her eyes as another orgasm built in her stomach. "Aedon-! Aedon please!" She begged, but I'm still in an ignorant, greedy mood. I know what she can and can't take, and what she'll absolutely love. Combining the two, she won't forget this anytime soon. "Keelah!" she sobbed, squeezing her eyes shut as I felt her quiver and buck her hips. She screamed through the whole of her orgasm, the sound echoing off every wall as she positively showered me. I smiled through it all, greedy for her slick as he drank up what I could and wore the rest like a fucking badge of honor.

I licked my lips when I finally arose from between her collapsed legs, letting her exhausted tears gaze upon the mess she made of me. "Looks like I've ruined you," I remarked with a grin, getting up and crawling over her to kiss away the tears streaming down her cheeks. "I love you," I pressed more kisses across her face.

"You're perfect, Tali." She took deep breaths, hands on my face and in my hair, pulling me close. I expected something snarky in retort, instead she found my lips, nipping between kisses. Her tongue slipped into my mouth and I couldn't help but groan into that embrace. Bucking my hips needily against hers as my hard-on brushed her still-quaking thighs.

She was the reason I was so hard. Only her, and only from me burying my face in her cunt.

Pulling away to catch her breath, she asked in a shaky voice, "Did m-making me scream get you that h-hard… o-or was my pussy just that good?" Her tone was teasing. I grinned.

"Both," She laughed and the smile persisted against my lips. She pulled back and I gave chase, Tali returning it with a smile written across her face.

"Any chance… you'll still let me… fuck you?" I asked between kisses. She could've laughed at the desperation, but only kissed me a few more times.

"Y-You'll have to give me a moment." Her hand already reaching towards my cock. She gave it a few strokes and I know she was watching my reaction. "You think you can hold off that long, mister?" Oh, she was going to get some revenge, was she? Teasing me until she felt ready to take me.

I hissed when she squeezed, then chuckled deeply. "Guess we're about to find out."

"Yes we are." She concurred. With sudden confidence she stroked my cock and the little airy giggle she loosed at the sound of my gasp indicated she was quite pleased with herself. She picked up the pace, stroking me faster, but the angle just wasn't quite perfect. She kissed me, pushing against my chest as she forced me to lean back as she repositioned on the bed. Watching that perfect, sexy body of hers move and writhe as she settled on her front, her perky ass popped up in the air as she bent over towards my erection, was hypnotic to a point where it was really testing my patience.

Oh fuck… of course this happens after I haven't seen her for months. To think those damn stuffed shirts in the Quarians admiralty wanted to keep me from her. Fuck Gerrel, fuck the Admirals…Let me rephrase that; I'll fuck Tali and the admirals can go to hell.

Her hand gripped me more properly, tugging my cock with confident strokes. Her tongue poked out from between her lips as she slowly lavished the tip with slow licks that made me shudder in delight. I hadn't felt this good in so long. God, I missed her!

She started licking, from base to tip, leaving kisses at the end of each one. So amazing, her touch cool and careful, showcasing her grace while also revealing her prowess. A deadly, otherworldly beauty. As skillful in the field as she was in the bedroom. She repeated the up and down movement several times, no doubt tasting me. Swirling the tongue around my tip, she opened her mouth as wide as she put the head into her mouth. I groaned, fingers drifting through her dark hair as I savored her slow blowjob.

Bobbing up and down, her pace was measured a leisurely, working my shaft with care and precision. She tended to me, but also teased me, never once giving me the sensation of total envelopment, but always making sure I was stimulated to some degree. I don't tremble often but goddamn did that ever press my buttons. Poorly suppressed sounds of enjoyment giving testament to my appreciation of her actions.

She gave a theatrical gasp once her mouth was free. Saliva dripped down her chin onto the bed. Once she had caught her breath, she grinned up at me.

"How was that?" She asked coyly. I returned her grin.

"You have no idea how much I missed your lips. In every way possible." She giggled.

"I missed you too. You and your third leg." With that, she descended my cock again and she fit more of me into her mouth more swiftly. Her bobbing came quicker and hastened, moving up and down as rhythmically as possible. She tried to keep at least half of me engulfed between her lips at all times and I admired the effort. Soon she was alternating her pace, bobbing fast and taking me plenty deep or bobbing slow and savouring every second of our carnality.

Her eyes met mine, my cock between her lips, and she winked. I groaned, a tremble rolling through every muscle. I bet this control over me makes her feel like a goddess.

"Don't cum too soon." She whispered after popping off again, seemingly knowing I was getting close. Her strokes took over the duty of her mouth as she laid kisses across my shaft. Fucking hell, she was amazing at her craft. So attentive and dedicated. She slowed down, leaving me on the edge.

I couldn't wait any longer, I absolutely had to have her. Now.

I backed off and she quirked her head curiously. I picked her up off the bed as swiftly as possible, I lifted her into the air and pressed her against the nearest wall as she squealed at the suddenness. I grabbed her legs, hooking my arms under her knees and spreading them out to the side completely exposing her. Using the weight of my body to keep her pinned where she was. Out of fear of falling, she braced herself against the wall with one hand while the other wrapped hastily around the back of my neck. "Aedon-!" She gasped and I silenced her with another searing kiss.

When I pulled back, I could see the hunger in her eyes and that made me happy. I didn't want to be too forceful with her, I wanted her to want this as desperately as I did. I rocked my hips back and forth, slicking my cock against her entrance. When I pushed inside her, I choked, loosing a shuddering breath as her warmth caressed me.

It's been too fucking long since I had this. Tali didn't even try to suppress her moans. I started moving slowly, despite my own impatience. I had every intention of fucking her passionately, for as long as my body could last. But I wanted her warmed up and ready. The last thing I ever ever wanted to do was hurt her. I pushed harder, prodding deeper with each successive thrust, her walls widening to accommodate me as the warmth and tightness increased. She was stretched out in the best way and I was genuinely proud I was the one responsible. I picked up speed, finding a rhythm while keeping my thrusts shallow to give her time to adjust. "K-Keelah, Aedon!" She gasped, her head dropping back against the wall. "Y-You don't waste any time." I chuckled. Even now she was determined to maintain her snark.

"I've wasted too much time away from you, Tali." I stated, pressing even closer and wedging her entirely against the wall while I fucked her.

"You feel so good inside me…!" She moaned.

"You're so fucking tight!" I hissed as I upped my pace. She made a point of pushing her hips back against me, as if still challenging me.

"I don't care how long it lasts, Aedon! I missed you too. Make me feel good!" She begged.

"I don't want to hurt you," I whispered, face inches from hers and instantly everything stopped. Her face softened for a moment giving me a loving look. Her hand that had been behind my neck moving to cup my cheek.

"You won't" she vowed, grinding her hips, "You never do." I thrust sharply into her. A noise of mingled surprise and pleasure escaped her lips. My self-restraint had been hanging by a thread, and I held her firmly in place while I fucked her harder than I'd ever previously dared. "Keelah" Tali cried. "Yes, just like that!" The room filled with the sound of my hips slapping against hers as I fucked her, mixed with her shrieks of enjoyment.

It was perfect. We had made love before, held each other tenderly. Clearly she didn't want that right now. Right now, she needed me to fuck her, to lose myself to passion and pull her in with me. The angle of the position made it nearly impossible for her to contribute in some way, but something about that made it even more enjoyable. Being almost helpless, held in place while I used her was the sexiest thing I could remember experiencing. Purely dominating her this time was an absolute rush of euphoria. I wouldn't wish this regularly, but damn did it ever feel good in the moment.

"Yes, yes, yes!" She screamed past gritted teeth. The hard pace was swiftly doing a number on me. Too much time spent away from her, no chances for release. I couldn't last much longer. "I'm close, Tali," I groaned.

"Don't you dare stop!" she ordered, tightening her three-fingered grip on the back of my neck. "I want to feel you come inside me!" Her consent was my order, and I doubled down on the bevy of sensations assaulting her body; the upcoming war completely forgotten. It was almost too much for her again; the intensity overwhelming. She'd never been wetter, not like this. She was raring to go like I was. "Don't hold back," she whispered. "Cum in me, Aedon!"

She lost her ability to speak as I pounded her pussy. I blame overstimulation. Again. My movements were becoming erratic as I approached my climax. She gripped tighter even tighter, awaiting my release.

With one last thrust, I buried myself as deep in her pussy as physically possible and began to fill her with my seed. I couldn't remember the last time I'd orgasmed, and evidently my body was offering up a very physical reminder of how long it had been. My cock spasmed in her pussy, positively flooding her with one of the biggest loads of cum I've ever produced.

That feeling, our bodies intertwined, triggered a strong orgasm in her. Her whole body clenched around my twitching cock, lines of pleasure jerking her around seemingly at random. All that escaped her lips were ragged gasps as she froze in my arms.

When it ended, she went slack, all energy gone from her body. I could relate, leaning forward as I pressed her to the wall to prevent a fall. I felt like I'd run dozens of kilometers while under hostile fire and calculating mass transit velocities. Every part of me was spent. I wasn't exhausted, but I'd reached my end for this round.

She whimpered a little when I pulled out of her, immediately missing the feeling of being full. My seed, white like snow, immediately started dripping out of her, making a mess of her thighs and the floor. "No-… No…" she whimpered. "Please… b-back on the bed, I-I need you."

I adjusted my grip, hands sliding under her ass for better support as I shifted position and sat down, pulling her with me. Pushing me back, she straddled my waist, smiling wide down at me. Desperate for more, she moved quickly to do the work before I had a chance to, positioning herself above me and stroking my cock back to a raging hard-on.

She closed her eyes and whimpered pleasurably as she sank all the way down onto me, her limbs trembling as she did. Hip to hip, she paused and I took in her beauty as she sat there, breathing heavily and biting her lip. Her bright eyes met mine and she started moving her hips experimentally. Rocking her hips forward and back, she whimpered and I groaned as her warm tightness caressed me. That felt good. Tali slowed down and then I felt her walls tighten around even further. "Oh Tali…" She was seemingly tighter than ever.

"Aedon…" Her hands caressed my pecs, leaning forward as she rode me, using her legs to slowly work herself up and down my shaft. Her eyes locked with mine as she continued to move, working her body like a sensual dancer. I was awestruck, between the motions and feel of her body as well as her little coos and whimpers of pleasure. This was truly heavenly.

"God you're perfect. So fucking perfect…" I whispered, hands gently settled on her hips as Tali continued to take me, riding slowly in order to draw out both our pleasure.

I lowered my hands and played with that amazing ass of hers as she continued, gently squeezing and rubbing her cheeks to make her groan in delight. Then, propping myself up just a little, I dipped towards her breasts and kissed each one before slowly taking my time using my tongue to tease and caress her sensitive mounds.

"Fuck..." I groaned, savouring the taste of her sensitive flesh, "I love you."

"I-I love you too..." She breathily moaned, still riding me at a slow, even pace. Sitting up even further, I gently pushed Tali back until I was upright and parallel to her.

"Don't stop, baby." I whispered, mouth moving higher to nibble on her collarbone. Tali whimpered as she hugged me, gently rocking her hips back and forth as she settled into my lap. She kept moving, now rising up and dropping down, still in control even while I pleasured her body. My tongue slid along her neck, making her shiver, and a trail of kisses led from her jaw to her mouth as I claimed her lips in a passionate embrace. Tali reciprocated as best she could, her divided attention resulting in her just humping me instead of truly riding.

I love my Quarian. I love her so fucking much.

We kept going until we both came, and I hugged Tali tightly while I twitched and throbbed and filled her with a hot load. That obviously set her over the edge, her limbs tightening around me as she pressed her mouth back to mine to muffle her shriek of pleasure, her nethers clenching around my cock and drenching it with her juices. Her movements slowed to a halt as she stopped to sit in my lap and I held her close as we exchanged kiss after kiss. Each one served to stoke the fires of desire. I still hadn't had enough. I wanted more of her. More of my Tali.

I rolled her over, laying her flat on the bed as I took up position above her. Rocking my hips back and forth as I started going again, thrusting into her with a single, eager motion. Tali gasping loudly as buried myself to the hilt inside her. Squeezing her eyes shut, she moaned loudly.

"Oh...! Yes!" She shuddered beneath me as I started moving, picking up speed. I softly kissed her neck, the feeling of being enveloped by the warmth of her core incredible and indescribable.

"Please..." She gasped. "Please don't stop, Aedon." She begged in a breathy whisper. Determined to fulfill her desires I pulled back only to thrust back in, my entire length filling her again. Tali cried out at the sensation. I clutched at her body, holding her in place, trying to be gentle while also desperate for more of this wonderful feeling. Tali wrapped her limbs around me, chanting my name over and over again in time with my thrusts. I was driven onwards by her cries and moans, my desire continually fuelled as she begged me to bring her to climax.

The tap of my hips against hers with each thrust filled the bedroom, accompanied by Tali's wails of pleasure. Our gazes flitted back and forth, eyes glazed over with a mutual lust for one another, never once looking away as I continued to gently thrust, pushing deep with each rock of my hips. I could feel her hot, panting breaths, the slickness of her sweat-stained skin, and no doubt she could feel mine as well. Gasps and moans punctuated the moment, all of it rocketing towards another climactic ending. Tali cupped my face and held my gaze, her breath coming out in trembling pants as she shuddered and came soundlessly. I could see every emotion pass across her flickering eyes. It was beautiful.

"Tali…" I rasped. She could tell I couldn't hold it together any more. She was doing a real number on me. She stroked my face, feeling my hair under her fingertips.

"I love you, I love you, I only want you." She whispered.

That did it.

I groaned her name as I came. Not nearly as hard nor as plentiful as the first two times, but it was still welcome. Bucking my hips a few times as I rode out my own climax while Tali shivered beneath me as warm seed filled her. She reached up and kissed me, holding me close as our lips connected and tongues intertwined. It was the perfect. She was perfect.

Together in that position we held still for a moment, possibly finally satiated after three rounds of passionate sex. Muscles relaxed, hormones abated, endorphins faded. I rolled onto my side with a groan, taking her with me. We cuddled together in the afterglow, content to hold one another without any sexual prelude. When she found her voice, Tali snuggled close and looked up at me, chin resting on my chest.

"Do you know why I fell in love with you?" I honestly couldn't say.

"Why?"

"You make me feel safe." She whispered contendly, curling up against my body within my arms. "I know that nothing out there in the galaxy can harm me while I'm with you. And when you're around, everything that's worth being afraid of doesn't seem so scary any longer." *ending of DFM23*

With her peace said she drifted off to sleep a few moments later her breathing steady. Looking down at my wife I was shocked by her words and released a shuddering breath I didn't know I was holding, feeling tears well up in my eyes. I've accomplished a lot of things in my life and many are something to be proud of. However, hearing those words out of her mouth I knew that no matter what else I did in my life that would be my proudest achievement.


POV: Eschucivi Dashi

As I watched those two they proceeded to tease each other, then reciprocate it, then fuck, then make love and then make love again. I couldn't help but be overwhelmed with jealousy. What they had and what I saw between them was nothing short of what I had with my husband. Those two were the purest form of in love in my mind.

They were soft and unrelenting. Then they were hard and considerate. Then they devolved into pure love and finally they found the perfect combination for themselves that no woman or man would ever be able to resist. They were everything that I wished that I still had with my husband… The pure bastard.

There was no possible way that I wouldn't be jealous. Who were they to have what I couldn't! What had been taken way from me! What had been STOLEN from me! It… It wasn't… It wasn't fair. I wanted my husband back! I wanted my life as a good mother back! I wanted my life as an honest person back!

That would never come though. I've made too many terrible decisions. Decisions that have shaped me into the monster that the galaxy sees me as. There was no reconciliation for someone like myself… It just wouldn't happen. I was too far gone.

However, in that moment I thought back to every single one of the people that the Essence users had fallen in love with. Though time stretched us thin and Athame didn't count… every single one of us has fallen in love with a Quarian. Phaelgda, Vondok, myself and now Aedon… We've all fallen in love with a Quarian. Hell Vondok's Quarian convinced him to leave the Krogan leaderless towards the end of the war.

What made the Quarians that desirable… I don't know, all I know is that the boy truly did love his woman. Without a shadow of a doubt in mind if anything happened to her he would rip this galaxy apart atom by atom to get her back… and I would help him if asked.


Once again, shoutout to *DFM23*, for writing that bit. He enjoys my writing and I enjoy his and it was a good exchange in my mind. For those of you who want to know, I got to write a fight scene for him and may be able to write more for him in the future; up to him. Otherwise, I'll let y'all know when my writing is used in his story. He's an exceptional writer; our stories are similar in tone and pace and I hope y'all go over and give him some love.

Hope y'all enjoyed. Have a blessed day.

PS: when DFM23's part came up… As the author of this story what he wrote almost completely encapsulates Tali and Aedon's relationship in my mind. I, of course, edited it but at least 80% of the obvious part was purely DFM23. The rest was me making sure it gave Tali and Aedon's relationship purity.
