Leena's POV

I only slept for about an hour before waking up and the stress of the upcoming mission made sleep impossible. Garrus still slept beside me and the fear of possibly dying made me scared. Scared that I wouldn't survive the Collector Base or worse me living on and Garrus dying.

Two years ago when we were on our way to Ilos I wasn't afraid because I knew our group would live, but now I was very afraid. Garrus groaned and then opened his eyes. It took him a few minutes before he saw me.

"What is it Leena?" my husband asked seeing the fear in my eyes.

"I'm afraid Garrus" I confessed.

My Archangel sat up and pulled me into his lap. He then placed one of his hands onto my face in a soft caress.

"I would be lying if I said I wasn't either" he admitted. "This mission is going to be dangerous but we have a good team, hell we even have Saren, I believe we're going to give the Collectors a good kick in the ass"

His words calmed me a little and he proceeded to kiss my forehead. But soon his mouth plates claimed my lips in a passionate and hungry kiss. The kiss also sparked the flames of intimacy.

"Spirits" was my remark when Garrus pulled away from me.

"My Nightshade, will you let your Archangel ease your tension?"

Sometimes I wished turian's didn't have a good sense of smell.

"Yes please do"

My husband smirked and gently pulled my tank top off. Our feet were bare since we took our shoes off before falling asleep earlier.

"Sneaky you still got your damn armor on" I reprimanded the turian.

"I can remedy that but first love you need to let me get up"

I did as he asked and just to tease me he took his armor and underclothes off in a slow manner before rejoining me on the bed. He stared at my bandaged right shoulder and I placed both of his hands on the wrapping. He carefully undid the bandages and the scars from the Husk looked back at him. There were only two, one in the form of an X and the other was a medium-sized claw mark.

Garrus then pressed his mouth plates onto the scars in sweet kisses. As he did this I gave his fringe some attention and he moaned when I rubbed it up and down in a slow manner. The turian then kissed his way lower and he showered my breasts with not only kisses from his mouth plates but licks of his tongue.

The turian then lay me onto my back before peeling my sweat pants off in the same manner when he undressed.

"Your already wet for me my Nightshade" Garrus purred as he sniffed my core.

"That's what happens when your aroused you cocky turian" I pointed out.

The way he grinned almost made my insides explode.

"Yes and I am the only one who makes you do so Leena"

Using his talons he literally tore my panties off.

"Oops"

"Really Garrus? That's the third pair of my underwear you've destroyed"

"Hmmm too bad they were blocking my view" he answered before claiming my sex with his mouth plates and I arched my back trying my best not to moan too loud. When he tired of kissing my sex, his tongue snaked its way inside me and that got to me moan a bit louder.

Eventually, he finished his torment and I greedily hooked my legs onto his hip spurs. I shot my husband a glare to not tease me anymore and he chuckled before aligning his pelvis with mine and slid his length inside me.

As he thrust into me repeatedly I used my hips to follow his movements. Tonight our lovemaking was slow and even then it was enough. Two years ago I never thought I would have these precious moments with the turian I've grown to love so much. I never imagined I would be the one he would call his wife and mate.

The two of us reached our climaxes together and soon my husband was on his back panting.

"You definitely eased my tension," I told my Archangel before kissing his mouth and laying back down.

"Indeed I have" the turian agreed before giving a kiss against my scars. " On your upper body"

The next spot he kissed was my stomach.

"Your lower body"

He then gave my core a quick lick with his tongue.

"And pretty much all the parts in between"

He then lay next to me and drew me into him.

"Now my love we really do need to get some more sleep"

I didn't stay awake after he spoke those words now that my tension had been eased. There was one thing for certain that I knew before sleep came, I didn't plan on dying tomorrow, and if those f**king Collectors tried to kill me, they would end up on the receiving end of my bullets.
