"I must say, I was surprised to see Shepard working for Cerberus, but to see you as well, even if it's to be closer to Shepard, is surprising." Garrus said when Ashley entered the forward gun battery.

"I was asked by Anderson to keep an eye on her." Ashley replied.

"Ah yes, Anderson. How is that old guy doing? Is he still punching senators?"

"Nope."

"Ah, by the way, what do you think of my new look." Garrus asked striking a pose.

"Well Garrus you were always ugly, just slap some face paint on and nobody will notice."

"Hahaha, Shepard said the same thing," Garrus said. Ashley snickered, "By the way, I hear that the two of you are sharing your bed with that cute yeomen."

"Kelly? Yes we are, she's actually sort of Shepard's sister in an adopted sort of way."

"Ah, are you going to invite her to an orgy?"

"We made a bet that if we could convince her to before the end of this mission we would, but if we couldn't we would have to invite Jack and Miranda."

"Oooh, sounds like you have some extra incentive there."

"Tell me about it."

"Well I wish you luck in your quest, but for now these guns aren't going to calibrate themselves."

"Ok then I'll let you get back to work." Ashley said as she left the forward battery, and silently thanking Garrus for reminding her about the bet, she decided it would be a good idea to warn Miranda of it so she turned right to enter her office, but as she reached the door she found it locked. She was about to leave when she heard a muffled cry.

Deciding to follow her curiosity she put her ear to the door and what she heard made her snicker. It was a combination of moaning probably from Miranda and grunting from Jack. Deciding it would be best, she waited by the door till she heard what she guessed was the both of them climaxing before knocking on the door, "Yes, who is it?" came through the intercom, as well as, "Who the fuck cares tell them to go away, we're busy."

"Miranda, its Williams. I need to talk to you and Jack about a bet Shepard and I made with Chambers."

"Who gives a shit, go away, as I said we're busy." Jack said over the com.

"Yeah the bet involves that sort of 'busy' if we lose."

A second later the door unlocked and opened then reclosed right after Ashley stepped inside, "You have twenty seconds to explain." Jack said.

"The bet is that we could get Kelly to join in an orgy with Liara, Shepard, and I by the end of this mission. If we can't we would have to ask you to join. I just wanted to give you a heads up, and what the hell it that?" Ashley asked pointing to Jacks crotch or more accurately the very real looking penis.

"It's fake, got it from the citadel. It actually causes the body to produce more testosterone and actually helps improve my biotic abilities by as much as twenty percent in battle, for about twenty-four hours after a good fuck," Jack said, "and are you serious about the five person orgy?"

"Very serious, how much better is having sex while wearing it?"

Miranda who had been having trouble talking due to shortness of breath finally spoke up, "On a scale of one to ten, about ten times better, more so if she send biotic pulses through it."

"But if you're interested in giving one a spin, it makes it more interesting than using your fingers. If you want we have an extra you can try on Miranda since she's ready to go,"

"Uh, excuse me?" Miranda said before Jack continued as if she hadn't spoken.

"Or if you want to test being on the receiving end I could give you a test run."

Ashley thought about it for a second before bringing up her communicator and calling Shepard, "Shepard here."

"Are you alone?"

"Yeah why?"

"Jack has extended an offer to try out a sex toy. Either using it on Miranda or having Jack use one on me. You interested in giving it a go before we go after Okeer? We could turn the bet with Kelly into a deal of we did the orgy with Jack and Miranda so she needs to join in one with us and Liara."

"Uhm yeah, this is Kelly," Kelly said over the connection, "I just heard that, and I'll tell you what. Do the orgy with them AND Liara, and I'll join all five of you, IF *sigh* Shepard's the only that touches me and she uses the toy you were talking about, and depending on how I'm feeling, maybe jack. Last time I talked with Miranda she commented on how Jack could use her biotics to give her an orgasm so powerful it caused her to squirt when she isn't usually a squirter."

"Ahhhh, wanting to experiment a little Kelly, what happened to the shy little girl who would blush at the mere thought of any type of sex?" Shepard said with a laugh.

"Hey if I have to join I might as well do a little experimenting right?"

"Sounds good to me. How about you Miri?" Jack asked Miranda.

"Uhg, I told you not to call me that in front of people."

"Ok, let me get this straight," Liara said over the com a few days later, Shepard and Ashley had called her up and had eventually worked the conversation towards the orgy, "What started as a bet with Kelly turned into a deal to have a massive orgy involving her, the three of us, Jack, and Miranda?"

"Yeah. It kind of got out of hand." Ashley said sheepishly.

"Well… I'm… open to the idea, it just seems to be slightly impractical considering how many people there will be compared to the size of whatever bed we use." Liara said, a blush creeping its way onto her face.

"Well there is a couch in the room so while the bed is occupied two or three people could be using the couch." Shepard said.

"When are we even planning on doing this?" Kelly asked as she exited the bathroom.

"I say we do it next time we see Liara." Ashley said.

"I find it very interesting how easily you all were able to be talked into this. Especially you Liara," Kelly said.

"Well as the three of us have pretty much not 'gotten any' in about two years, this sounds like a good way to welcome Shepard back." Liara said.

"Ashley already did that, but I guess it could be a more proper welcome back. Like a big debouched party."

"Oh, Ashley…" Liara whined, "We agreed to do that together."

"Sorry, but I didn't think Shepard would be so needy."

"Hey being dead for two years makes you horny. Add to that the fact that Kelly fondled me 'down there' in her sleep and I had bent up tension."

"I do not-"

"Yes you do!" Ashley and Shepard said in unison.

Kelly folded her arms and 'hmphed', "It's accidental."

"As I was saying after we pick up this Okeer guy we'll come visit you and will throw this party." Ashley said.

"Ok, but I'm not going to initiate any melds. Those are for the two of you only."

"I wouldn't have it any other way Liara." Shepard said.
